I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 563 -

This is the reupload (at his request) of the chapters previously posted by craftyprogamer as he wants to focus on his own book

When low-level healer Elias Vale stumbles upon a cursed cocoon in a forgotten ruin, the last thing he expects is to hatch the reborn soul of the Demon Queen Revantra—in the form of a scared little girl.To save her from divine execution, she binds herself to him through an ancient soul pact, fusing their fates. Now, Elias is stuck raising the former destroyer of worlds—who can barely tie her shoes, but occasionally melts furniture when she pouts.What starts as reluctant guardianship soon spirals into something far more dangerous. As Rhea (her new alias) grows stronger, older, and far too attached, Elias must keep her identity hidden from zealous church inquisitors, ambitious heroes, and the remnants of her own loyal followers—some of whom want her dead... again.But the longer he protects her, the deeper the bond grows—and the harder it becomes to tell who’s really taming who.Because the world once burned beneath her wings……and this time, she’s not letting him go.

After a reality-shattering event puts him in a two-year coma, Rin Matsuda wakes up to a world straight out of a video game. Dungeons, monsters, and super-powered “Hunters” are the new norm.While his best friend has become a famous lightning-wielding hero, Rin awakens with a glitched and bug-ridden power—the “Fractured System.” To level up, he can't just kill monsters; he must hunt reality-bending “anomalies” and survive deadly trials with a ridiculously high chance of death. Seen as an error by his own system and unawakened by the world, Rin must embrace his broken abilities to survive.
