The Villain Who Seeks Joy - Chapter 134: The Obsidian Kernel

Easily cowed and bullied, she was the useless, ugly woman with no talent in medical skills. Supported by millions, he was Tianning’s most respected duke with the power to move all under Heaven. On their wedding day the bridal sedan was carried to the front doors, but the Duke of Qin’s gates were shut tight.

They told her, ‘Come back tomorrow.’

All alone, she walked step-by-step full of pride through the duke’s doors. Little could they imagine, this unattractive good-for-nothing was a beautiful, genius doctor of poisons!

—

After transmigrating to the past, poisons expert Han Yunxi finds herself on the verge of being married off to the country’s second most powerful man, the Duke of Qin. Her future life seems set–except her husband is an unfeeling ice block, her in-laws think she’s a eyesore, the empress dowager wants to use her for her own goals, and poison-related plots abound.

Alone, the intelligent (and sensible) Yunxi must carve her own space from the intricate web of court intrigue and the jianghu, relying on her words, wits, and wisdom to survive. Adapt when necessary, use force when required; to survive and thrive is the name of the game to a prosperous life.

No matter what, she’ll prove her right to live!

Ren thought getting sacrificed and becoming a holy spirit was rock bottom—until he discovered his divine wife, the Goddess of Magic, is completely broke on faith power. That means his remaining soul would completely disappear.Turns out magicians are the worst believers ever!Ren has a crazy idea: if magicians won't pray willingly, make them pray to access the internet.Starting with a simple magic forum, Ren introduces this fantasy world to the addictive power of online connectivity. Want Q&A sessions on spell theory? Pray first. Need to livestream your dragon research? That'll be one prayer, please. E-commerce shopping for rare magical components? Prayer required for checkout.The moment Ren becomes the God of Technology, this world's whole vibe goes haywire.What begins as a desperate faith-farming scheme spirals into something far bigger. Soon dragons are running delivery services, apprentices are binge-watching magical tutorials, and even gods are competing for subscriber counts. Magic cars cruise the streets, magic trains thunder across continents, and when apprentices start wielding magic ray guns against seasoned magicians, everyone realizes this world has changed forever.From a simple forum to consciousness uploading and biological immortality—when technology crashes into magic, the explosion reshapes reality itself.After all, why choose between science and magic when you can have both?

He became the villain in the possessed game, the rival of the main character, and the second seat.

“When your gacha waifues are real but so are the monsters.”Leon had finally made it. After nearly a decade of surviving off instant noodles and blind faith in himself, he created the most chaotic, soul-crushing, and waifu-filled gacha game the world had ever seen. Then he sold it, bought a Bugatti, and hit the road to touch grass like any gamer should.Of course, the universe didn’t let that slide. How can a Gamer touch grass?One glowing portal. One crash. One very unexpected reincarnation later—he wakes up in his own game world.A world crawling with mutated, Abyssal beasts, corrupted cities, and a virus that’s slowly wiping out the population, especially males.A world where men are protected assets, female-led militaries run everything, and of course, there is also another world that is fully Corrupted connected to his new world.Now bound to a mysterious SSS-Rank Dungeon that activates when he sleeps, Leon has one goal: survive and become stronger.Which is easier said than done when every death comes with boosted pain, his system is still syncing, and half the girls he designed could probably bench-press a tank.But hey—at least they’re hot and lovable. That's what matters in the end anyways.....Just a heads up.This novel will be an amalgamation of everything with action, adventure, waifues, gacha game world building and all, comedy, harem, character interactions, emotional moments, desparation moments cuz it's apocalyptic world bruh. A good lore and all too.Smut will be less as I want to focus more on their character development and interaction in the harem rather than just sex.
