She wanted to save her favorite fairytale character, the derelict second male lead. To rescue the kidnapped princess, he went as far as sacrificing his one-of-a-kind magical companion. But at the end, she married the crown prince of the neighboring kingdom. Just because one was born as the king's son, he got the main lead position. The orphan stood at the second place, despite being a prodigy in swordsmanship. She could not bear to see the second male lead dying all alone and broken-hearted.
So, I helped her change the fate of the second lead.

The Cursed Witch
Reincarnating, dying, repeat. My life revolves around those three. This has been going on for so long that my memory of my first life already became hazy. And right now, I was reincarnated in a novel I read from my previous life. A novel where the second male lead was being taken advantage of by the heroine but was just discarded in the end. And I would prevent that from happening to him #1- Fantasy-romance (08/27/23) #11- Fantasy (10/23/23) #35- Fantasy (08/02/23) #32- Aristocracy (08/13/23) #24- Otherworld (08/17/23) #39- Otherworld (08/13/23) ⚠️ UNDER CONSTRUCTION ⚠️Complete![[COMPLETE] Transmigrated Author: The Quiet Plum](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/208505086-256-k685551.jpg)

The First Perspective
A man who conquered everything-power, wealth, strength-yet found himself at the peak of nothingness. Bored of a world he had already mastered, he took a final leap... only to open his eyes again. Reborn as Aren Wolfhart in a world of mana, nobles, and bloodline legacies, he is no lost soul seeking redemption-he is a ruler in the making. With his past-life intellect and an unshakable will, he will carve his own path to dominance. In a world where strength dictates fate, Aren will either rise as an unstoppable force or bring ruin to all who stand in his way. Power is everything. And this time, he refuses to be bound by fate. I'm Eren-or at least, I used to be. Now, I'm Aren. Death came for me in a way too strange to explain, yet here I stand again. Why? To find purpose in a world that's ruthless, where survival demands more than strength-it demands the mind of a predator. Every step I take is precise, every move cloaked in shadows, because power isn't given, it's taken. I don't care about what others think. Their judgments are noise-weakness dressed as opinion. I am cunning, ruthless, and unyielding. I blend into the background like a ghost, watching, calculating. Emotions? I buried them long ago. Logic and resolve are my weapons. I'm here to ascend, and nothing-no one-will stand in my way. If you dare block my path, you won't find me-I'll leave only a ghost behind, a smudge in your memory that warns you of what came and disappeared without a trace. There's no room for mercy in this climb, only cold ambition and unbreakable will.
Arifureta (Y.N, The Magic Creation Archer) (Original Character MC)
What if someone was summoned to another world... ...with the power to control every element-Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, and more? What if that person wasn't a cold and vengeful warrior, but a quiet, kind soul-someone who still longed for home, yet chose to help those in need with compassion and strength? Even if the world is against him....? Welcome to my third version of my first Arifureta fanfic. A compelling story of power, combined with a heart of gold. This is a story where a male Original Character (OC) replaces Hajime as the protagonist. While his goal is still to return to Earth, his journey is filled with wonder, friendship, and growing bonds-with a deep focus on treating his partners with love and warmth. Yes, that includes the original harem from the anime. Kaori, Shizuku, Shea, the others as well. Do expect a good plenty of games, songs and movie references in this story! (A lot actually...) ♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠ Any images included in the story are for fun, character visualization, and lore-building-including depictions of the girls in his harem. You know, to make the chapters feel less wordy... In every one, I will always put at least twenty pictures to make it more interesting. (And yes, Wattpad only allows twenty pictures per chapter maximum unfortunately (눈‸눈) ) And before I forget, I also do not own the original anime or any other properties that are used in this story. It belongs to their respective owners and creators. I hope you like this story. Just like any other stories made, they are often not easy to make. And yeah, as always, this is just a story of fiction, guys. So let us have some good old fun with the story and how it goes, okay? (◠‿・)-☆ Thanks for reading my story! And please enjoy this alternate timeline of this fanfiction!
Reincarnated as the Villainess in a BL NOVEL!?
𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗬 𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬!! ✦━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━✦ ➥ 𝑰𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉: I got reincarnated into a novel as the stupid villainess that every reader hated to the core. Basically, the most unloved character, even by the author. Santina Rubelia del León gets killed by her yandere fiancé who is also the male lead. Hahhh... It could be worse, right? WRONG! Why does it have to be a BL novel, for god's sake? The trashy male lead falls in love with the crown prince of another nation and causes the biggest war history has ever seen. "Santina, I want you to be my Empress." WAIT, WHAT? Why now? Does he want to use me to his advantage? Yeah, that's probably it! But then...? "I'll start a war." E-eh? What is this? "I'll kill him and destroy his entire kingdom. In fact, I'll erase it from the map, so... look at me... I beg you." Is he completely ignoring the crown prince? But why and for what reason, all of a sudden? Let me go, you crazy punk! I'M THE VILLAINESS! "...." He broke my other leg as well. When they say Angels have wings they mean they have legs. For humans legs are like wings. They take you places. This devil had broken my wings. ✦━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━✦ 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀!! ➥ mature themes and language ➥ status: finished! ♔ ───────── ♔ 𝑯𝑰𝑮𝑯𝑬𝑺𝑻 𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑺 (so far): ♔ ───────── ♔ #1 in maleyandere #1 aristocracy #1 crazy #1 reincarnated #1 noble #2 pastife #7 obsession #7 yandere #14 reincarnation

With friendships cracking and love on the line, this elf must choose what matters most, even if it comes at a great cost. *** "You're so beautiful, Flower," he says, kissing her shoulder, making her smile. "Thank you," she replies, continuing her caress. He meets her eyes, resting his forehead on hers, "You know I would do anything for you, right?" Isaac holds her chin, preventing her from looking down, "You know that, right?" "Yes, I do." "I would do anything you ask of me, even if it is to hang the stars." She chuckles, shaking her head, "How could you possibly catch a star, or even hang one?" "I am so in love with you that I would die trying if I knew that it would bring a smile to your face." A shy smile appears on her face as she turns away from his intense gaze. This man, his words, his eyes, his art of making love, they will all be the death of her, but it is a death she would gladly accept.Complete
