I didn't die in a dramatic battle, nor did I wake up in some fantasy world as a hero. I got reincarnated as a book. A sentient, magical, panic-prone book.
Now I float, glow, and occasionally explode in chaotic sparks while being carried around by a determined mage named Lyra and her overly enthusiastic apprentice, Tavin. My life, or unlife, is a mix of accidental magic, goblin attacks, and the existential dread of literally being read aloud.
But things get serious when I form a magical pact with Lyra, unlocking powers I never asked for and a bond that makes me... important. Maybe even heroic. If I survive long enough to figure out how to actually use magic instead of panicking.
Join me, the Codex, as I navigate magic, monsters, and the hilarious hardships of being a book with feelings. Adventure awaits. And yes, I still hate Tavin's handwriting.

Never in my life did I ever think I'd be reincarnated. As far as I'm aware, being able to reincarnate means being good in your previous life, and being given a chance to restart your life anew. Although I don't consider myself particularly good, I'm not bad either. I simply existed somewhere in between. Regardless, I never expected to wake up inside a fantasy novel! And not just any novel, but a "dark romance", as my sister would call it. The kind with an obsessive male lead willing to go to any lengths to protect his delicate, soft-spoken heroine. Even if it meant murder. I had read the story before, and yes, it was undeniably cliché. But now, I find myself trapped within said story, cast as the villain, destined to meet my end at the hands of the possessive, and dangerously unhinged male lead. I can't tell if this world despises me or if it's offering me a twisted kind of opportunity. But one thing is for certain: I have to survive. And I need to find a way out.

In A Corner Of The World
Reincarnated person here. Not a villain or a love interest or even a remotely interesting side character. Just a cardboard cut out of faceless NPCs in the background. The only thing notable about me is that I'm reincarnated, other than that my stats are average. I'm not the hidden boss or support character either, I'm really here just to fill in the crowd. That is my mindset especially when the protagonist of the game adapted to a specific series of novels was introduced into the classroom. Everybody crowded around the hero, either to make friends with him because of his looks or status. So tell me, why has he chosen me to hang out with? ****** Disclaimer: No pictures are mine Trigger Warning: Gore, sexual assault, and more.

I WANT TO BE THE VILLAINESS!!
✨ If death is the only escape... then I'll choose the most dramatic way to die✨ Lia Everhart never expected to open her eyes in the world of her favorite novel. But after falling into a coma in the real world, she realizes one thing: If she doesn't die in this world, she can't return to her body. So, instead of living peacefully as a forgettable side character, Lia boldly chooses the most entertaining death route she can think of- becoming the villainess. " I could've died in many ways.. Maybe stabbing myself, cutting my nerves or even drinking poison! Well since I had to die, in one way or the other, then why don't I try it in an interesting way ! What if I become the villainess?? She plots dramatic schemes, steals the spotlight, and even rescues the original villainess just for fun. Everything is going smoothly... until the story twists out of control. The heroine dies instead of her. The villain survives. Lia does NOT. Expecting to finally wake up- She doesn't. Instead, she opens her eyes in a second reincarnation, this time as Luna Estene, the pampered daughter of a powerful duke. And waiting for her is a smug, glitchy system announcing: "New life. New rules. Complete all five missions to return. Mission One: Seduce the villain." The villain-Caylum Morvane-is cold, sharp-tongued, and completely immune to her charms. Worse, the original heroine is still alive in this world... and destined to fall for him. Now Luna must flirt, manipulate, and survive every death flag while the system cackles in her ear. She only wants to die gracefully and go home, but fate seems obsessed with keeping her alive. Because this time, the villain might fall first. And Luna might live long enough to regret it.Complete
Please spare me, Villain!
Imagine, just for a second, let's imagine you end up somehow travelling into your favourite book. Then you started working your magic and you cosy up to the male lead who was supposed to get you killed or you make the demon lord fall in love with you so he can protect you from your imminent death. And woah you got your happy ending. But now let's imagine a completely different scenario where you end up in a book you read like 10 pages of (including the ending). And you find yourself literally dropped into the lap of a psychopathic rival who enjoys just a teeny bit of bloodshed. He's also the guy who killed your favourite character and not to mention you. But then you hold on for a second because you realise you're not dead and he wants to use you as an immortal tool to sharpen his aim. Well that's the story I ended up living in. And I've got one request from Mr. Villain over there, please spare me!Complete

(Kind of on hiatus.... Updates will be random) This story is pure chaos. You have been warned. I had always thought the world was too dull. I dreamed of a fantasy world filled with magic. I was an orphan and had no attachments to the real world. I should have specified my wishes more. Being the next target of truck-sama wasn't exactly on my bingo card. When I opened my eyes I was in a new body in a new world. And there was magic. It was a dream come true despite my painful arrival. But there was something suspicious about the all too bright world. And what was with the ridiculously good looking people? I was inside a novel I knew that much. But what novel I didn't know. --------- There might be a lot of typos. It's a reincarnation story inspired by the many reincarnation manhwas I've read so far but with my own twist. English is not my first language. I might not be the best at wording things.
Multiple identities
In a fun, mystical and mysterious world, with animals, humans, literal gods and plenty of other species, is.. a person with multiple identities? Some random kid who got reincarnated, went to explore new surroundings while shapeshifting into different people.. A being with no identity so made one for themself, unsatisfied with one, they made another, and another.. and the next thing they know.. they made 6 different identities! Watch this shapeshifter get caught up in all types of messes and how they use their different forms to solve them all! I know it seems a bit boring, and yes, to most it is! But if you wanna just read to pass the time then here you go! (Also this story doesn't exactly have an over arching plot? It's just a string of fun stories) (Includes, blood and touchy topics?)
A Hero With/Out Time
"I'd kill him if it were the last thing I ever did. No matter who's in my way. The Hero or the Queen, I'd get rid of them, no matter how many times it takes." Up until now I had always thought I was normal, a little on the weirder side but at least normal enough. Then I died and well... I didn't. Dragged off by the Hero and her party to slay the Demon Lord I met my end to the Monster along the border forest only to wake up before it all began. I'm clearly not the Hero Lara with her dazzling smile. I'm not the captain of the Knights Ronalt. I'm not a Master Wizard or a Swordsman, that would be Ardent and Earnest. Nor am I the surprisingly violent priestess Marley. And though she was dragged along as well, I'm not the beautiful thief Taylor. No, my jobs outnumber theirs tenfold for I am... their cook, their driver, the baggage carrier, blacksmith, tailor, potions maker, bird tender and so on and so forth. In other words I was the extra taken from my small town home. No matter what though, no matter how many tries it takes, I will make it back home or die trying, literally.Complete
