"I’ve been reborn as the potential man of this world?" … Eric Lane was an ordinary man with one extraordinary obsession: To Be The Extra — a webnovel he had followed religiously from its humble Instagram promotion to its global fame, award-winning acclaim, manhwa adaptation, and even an upcoming anime. It was the story of Cayden Cross, an average gamer who transmigrated into his favorite game as an irrelevant extra, only to shake the world and rewrite its fate. Eric loved every second of it. Until he died, he didn’t even know how he died… all he knew was that he died. When he opens his eyes again, he’s not Eric anymore. He’s Lucius von Hohenberg — a minor villain from To Be The Extra. The same Lucius who lost everything after being humiliated by Cayden. The readers understood the man, he had been in a coma for years only to wake up and find out his beloved had been betrothed to the Cayden. He had tried to fight but like the fate of any character that faced the Main character, they got stomped pretty badly. Armed with his obsessive knowledge of the novel’s plot, Eric is determined to rewrite Lucius’s fate. He wants to live a care free life in this world. But as he soon learns, this world is not a one-to-one copy of the story he read. The events are different but who cares? He didn’t want to follow the plot anyway.

He never performed well in either middle nor high school, and even after becoming an adult, he never worked. Be it morning, noon or night, he only played an online game. For him, being the world’s number one rank, playing that online game, was his very reason for living. One day, his account was hacked and his character deleted. Restoration was impossible. Nothing that could be done. The number 1 rank that he literally spent his life to attain and to defend was now lost. Filled with despair he was given another chance When he opened his eyes again, there was the online game. No, the world itself looked similar to the game.

That was the beginning of his extraordinary legend.

Jin Soowhi knew betrayal long before he ever picked up a controller. A soldier hardened by discipline and loss, his lowest wound hadn’t come from the battlefield but from the woman he once trusted most. She cheated. When she tried crawling back, begging for another chance, Jin didn’t even hesitate. He called her what she was — a slut, a hoe — and walked away without looking back. Once broken, trust was nothing but ashes. Maybe that was why Love & Chains: Eternal Hearts enraged him so much. A reverse harem dating sim, worshiped for its glittering romance, that spat on women and turned ex-lovers into cheap sacrifices for the male leads. Jin didn’t see love in its flowery script — only humiliation and cruelty. He hated the sim so much that one night he hurled his phone at the wall, storming out to clear his head. Fate never gave him the chance. A drunk truck driver ended his life in an instant. When he woke, Jin was no longer himself. He was inside the game he despised. Worse still, he was Sylan Kyle Von Noctis — a minor antagonist destined to sneer, fail, and die as a stepping stone for one of the pretty-boy leads. But Jin wasn’t some cardboard villain. He wasn’t going to roll over and die just to polish another man’s glory. He would break the script, twist the story, and fight for survival with the ruthless instinct of a soldier who’d already lost everything once. Yet survival won’t be simple. The heroine glows. The leads preen. But something is… wrong. One of the ex-girlfriends — a woman meant to be discarded, ruined, and forgotten — isn’t following the script. She’s watching him. Stalking him. And smiling in a way the game never described. Now Jin must fight not just against his death flag, but against the twisted heart of a world written to chew up people like her… and destroy people like him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer before you read my novel!!!!!: The wives of the MC that i intend to marry are the villainesses of the game, the exes of the male leads and including our loyal and goated maid Virelle, and also i intend the story will be not focus on the plot of the story of the game but rather sylan's owns problems but don't worry the story of the novel will still have connection the main character's but most of Sylan's interaction will be on Elias his best buddy and also his Goated buddy The Plague Doctor. That's all i wanted to say and thanks to give attention on this disclaimer, i know i know this is a useless information but i just want to clarify first before reading this novel.

Standing on the battlefield of Afghanistan in 1981, the bearded Muhammad looked serious and carried the RPG on his shoulder. The crushing of the T-62, the bombing of the Hind, and the roar of the Shile River would not make the Afghan guerrillas surrender! Drive away the Soviets and liberate Afghanistan! Defeat India and India and dominate South Asia! Inadvertently, Muhammad became the de facto ruler of Afghanistan. Inadvertently, Muhammad was pushed to the position of President of Pakistan by the coup soldiers. Inadvertently, Muhammad divided India into several pieces, leaving only a tiny place for India. Even the American aircraft carrier formation was swept back to America by the roaring waves of the Indian Ocean. The Indian Ocean is Muhammad's backyard!

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
