Turns Out, I'm In A Villain Clan! - Chapter 229: First Round Ends

He was a simple man in his past life – a masseuse, not a hero. His hands were trained to heal pain, not cause it. But when fate dragged him into another world, those same hands became the only thing keeping him alive.Unlike the chosen ones who gain holy blessings or unrivaled power, he has nothing but skill, wit, and stubbornness. He doesn’t seek glory, nor does he dream of leaving his name in history.But the world has other plans.A kingdom built on lies. Families fighting for power in the shadows. Betrayals hidden behind smiles. And he? He’s caught in the middle, forced to navigate schemes that could devour him whole.He isn’t the strongest. He isn’t the bravest. But sometimes, the man who doesn’t want the spotlight… is the one who survives it.________I get this alot so I'm going to clarify:This is not a smut novel, there will be romantic scenes but not as pronounced.

I was transported into the romantic fantasy novel my younger sister was reading, not as the male lead but as the second male lead. If I remember correctly, this punk is fated to go into war in the future and die in the male lead’s place.

Okay, I’ve made up my mind. Let’s not go anywhere near the main characters and stay healthy until I can go home.

Dear readers! Fresh green style, maybe you will like it more in .

I was some twenty-something woman dying of stage four cancer.I got obliterated by the “Truck-kun” you nerds are always joking about. Turns out it's a lot less funny when it's your guts splattered on the pavement. Crap.Next thing I know, I'm floating in the dark and this thing pops up in my face.[A choice is now available to you.][Option One: Fade.Cease to exist.][Option Two: Reforge.Begin anew.]You think you can just erase me? Hah. As if.Fueled by pure, uncut spite, I slammed the reforge button. Turns out the universe has a totally sick sense of humor, though.I woke up as a male elf. A seriously hot elf —a mage, of all things. Let's just say I was working with some… unfamiliar hardware downstairs.And Jonny? My best friend, my bro, my lifelong meat shield? The universe decided he'd look better as Yael—a stunningly beautiful elf chick with a charisma stat that was probably maxed out.For a while, we weren't just getting by. We were crushing it. It was awesome.Our new life was shattered by the arrival of Vex, an overpowered demigod who saw our world as a resource to be harvested. He was a cosmic-level threat.My pride, the same stupid pride that always gets me into trouble, wouldn't let me kneel. So I told him where he could stick it.Big mistake.The price for my big mouth was paid in her blood. Vex decided to make an example of her. He didn't just defeat her; he shattered her legs into pulp right in front of me.After that, she just… erased me. Walled me off. I went from being her best friend to a ghost she looks right through. Her hatred isn’t loud; it's a permanent debuff, and the silence is a thousand times worse than her screaming would have been.Broken by my failure and rage, the System offered me another choice.I accepted. The System laid out the cost in cold, hard code:The friendly blue “Overwhelming Pride” interface shattered, overwritten by a brutal, blood-red OS running one program: The 'Overlord Slayer'. My personality was stripped for parts. My charm and pride were forged into an 'Aura of Dread.' My guilt became a damage buff called 'Pain Eater.' My grief is now, literally, my mana pool.My quest is no longer about survival. It is brutally simple: Kill Vex. Absorb his power. Fix what I broke.But to become strong enough, I have to grind this new 'Slayer' class, and every level up feels like I'm deleting a piece of myself.The real question is, by the time I'm strong enough to squash him, will there be anything left of the person Yael knew?And even if I can fix her legs… what's she going to think of the monster who comes back?

After being bound by System 131, Xiang Kui started a journey of helping some female supporting roles to fulfill their ‘reasonable’ wishes in order to earn enough points to go back.First World: Beast world Side Characters “Just because I'm not the heroine, does that mean I deserve to die?”Xiang Kui was a native in the beast world, the pampered cousin of the tribe’s chief. Just because the strongest warrior in the tribe brought in a strange woman, it meant that she have to be worse off?Not wanting to care about the heroine, she changed the beast world with her own hand without hesitation turning what the heroine values into scraps and things better than what she could make appeared.Second World: The True and False Daughter“Just because I'm not capable enough, does it mean I don't deserve to live?”Liang Kui harboured deep resentment when she found out the truth of the world. That her world is nothing more than a story for Xiang Hao Ya and her existence was used to make Xiang Hao Ya’s life better.It should have been hers, but Xiang Hao Ya was the one who played the pitiful, cross it out, her brother was the one who set off Xiang Hao Ya as the pitiful girl whose life has been taken away by her.In that case, she want nothing of the Liang Family and the Xiang Family.She will live a life far away from them, a peaceful and comfortable life while secretly making moves in secret.Third World: The Little Princess in the ApocalypseJiang Kui was known as the pampered princess and in the world where other people become stronger, she was still the weak and willful person.Seeing that she was being used by the main leads to set themselves off and then thrown off, she decisively decided to part ways without hesitation.System: “…” no, that’s not parting ways, you directly smashed a hammer above their heads!And seeing how the supposedly revenge and action filled story turned into a sweet romance story in such unsuitable background… the system said that it gave up.Fourth World: The Ghost Story in the Magic World…Xiang Kui vs System:Xiang Kui: See, I have successfully performed my role well!System: (gave even more difficult character to perform again and again)Xiang Kui: *send blades to the system*System: (looking at the more outrageous script under Xiang Kui’s hand and fell flat on the ground, not wanting to take a look even for another second)At some other timeXiang Kui: What’s with that Jun Lin?System: *looks away*Xiang Ku: *sneer*System: (saw the weapon that Xiang Kui took out, shocked, and directly cried) Wooo, I don’t want this host! Give me a soft, pretty, and easily manageable host… ah!The author silently look away from the massacre scenes on the back and pretend not to see anything....Note: the synopsis will be updated as I write more worlds :3Join the discord to chat with the author and other readers:https://discord.gg/pBy2wGB...Other novels:-Flowers Bloom from Battlefield [complete]- Under the Veil of Night [complete]- 7 Path of the Lilies [on long hiatus]- 1 Year of Beginning [complete]- Villain Lady [complete]- Science and Fantasy [complete]- 2 Years of Restarting [complete]- The Quiet Empress [complete]- The Villain's Little Cat [complete]- Astral Flower [complete]- Villain Princess [complete]- Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower [complete]- Runemaster in the Last Days [on going]- Truth and Lies Intertwined [on going]...Follow me on IG: @sora100518
