Hiyomi finished her postgrad degree in the master of medicine and has begun working at a hospital as a doctor. Only, life as a doctor isn’t as she imagined; the stress and burnout works her to the bone. Her dreams of being the kindly, beautiful doctor that everyone doted on is smashed, and she’s swallowed under paperwork and maltreatment. However, a game launches its VR version, called Lucidia Online, along with its newest and supposedly best update yet. While M isn’t so sure, she’d played the PC version before her life had become so busy. How could this be any different? It’s not like she could get burnt out more, and besides, it might help her take her mind off of things… in many ways. God, the female NPCs were so hot. Little did she know that what she learned in med school would have its applications in game, and lead her to being one of its top players…

You think you know how this story goes. Some pathetic loser from Earth gets hit by a truck and reborn as a glorious hero in a fantasy world. Blessed with an all-powerful system, a harem of beautiful, adoring women, and a future paved with easy victories and triumphant battles. That’s what I was promised. A cosmic redo, a chance to shed my pathetic skin as a cynical, basement-dwelling hater and finally live a life of consequence. Only… the script was flipped. The so-called "goddesses" were laughing, and the "destiny" they handed me was a sick joke. The power I received wasn't for fighting dragons; it was for something far more interesting. My path wasn't paved with gold—it was littered with the shattered remains of my own foolish optimism. The people I was meant to save became my betrayers. My allies were my first enemies. And the world I thought I could conquer became a relentless, mind-breaking grind set to hell mode. It’s funny, isn't it? When you're a professional hater, you think you've seen the worst of humanity. This world showed me I was just an amateur. My greatest weapon isn't a legendary sword or a fire-spitting spell. It's a collection. A Pokédex of souls I've captured. I don't catch monsters; I capture people. Not their bodies, but their very will. There's a moment in everyone's life—a moment of ultimate despair, a crushing betrayal, a total loss of purpose—when their spirit shatters. I learned to recognize that moment. I learned to harvest it. These aren’t mindless servants. They are broken, remade, and eternally loyal to me. They possess all their skills and memories, but their core motivation is now just to serve my will. They are my ultimate pawns, and their loyalty is not a gift; it's a consequence of their suffering. Some call me a monster. I just call it a different kind of grind. I'm not the only one playing this game. I've found others—fellow misanthropes, each with their own unique brand of villainy. We meet in lavish, hidden dens, surrounded by wealth we've stolen from the foolish and the weak. We scheme, we lie, and we laugh at the stupidity of this world. We are a gathering of villains, but we don't even trust each other. Everyone here has a secret. But there is one person in this world who stands out. A paragon of justice. The handsome, charismatic hero with a tragic backstory and unwavering resolve. He’s everything I was promised. He’s the chosen one with the absurdly powerful "Friendship" ability, and he's my nemesis. He’s a flawless archetype. Too perfect, if you ask me. This isn’t a battle between good and evil. It’s a fight for the narrative. The hero believes he is the protagonist, destined to save this world. He's so sure of it. But I'm the one writing the story. The only way to win a rigged game is to become the game master. This is my second life, and I'm not playing by their rules. I'm making my own. You think you know how this ends? You don't. And I'm inviting you to find out Group https://www.reddit.com/r/chaosandcanon/s/F9XXA5C61F-reddit https://t.me/+7YlPJOIsHOU3MDI8 -telegram

In a world where the weakest becomes the strongest do to the powers of gaming. As he continues to grow stronger his powers reach the levels (literally) of the gods. Though, he has to be careful not to become the game itself.

One day, the loot from my games started manifesting in real life. Legendary swords, god-tier potions, passive buffs—mine to keep. Bankrupt yesterday, untouchable today. I don’t need cheat codes. I am the cheat.

Chapters are Daily :) Dive into the world of Matsuri: Dark Mischief! In this world, history is not merely remembered- it shapes the present. Military systems known as The -Imperial Stand- exist to preserve the fragile peace of civilization, while magic beyond mortal comprehension known as -Rune Arts- is wielded for good, evil, or everything in between. And beyond all expectation lies the Matsuri Highlands: an entirely separate realm of reality, defying both the understanding of its inhabitants and the imagination of its readers. If you’re drawn to history, fantasy, magic, cosmology, and adventure-driven storytelling, then Matsuri: Dark Mischief is for you. This is a story where worlds are brought to life, where every concept carries depth and meaning, and where nothing exists without purpose. --- Synopsis: After a boy named Ryuu Izanagi wanders into the forbidden Matsuri Highlands, he is confronted with an existentially dreadful truth: this entirely different reality is far worse than the legends ever described. After attempting to prove his worth by venturing into the Highlands, Ryuu finds himself in a life-threatening situation, moments away from being erased by a giant, horned wolf. Until- A man named Ayato Sakata saves him. Known as a Mischief Hunter, Ayato shows Ryuu the value of living, self-belief, and self-promotion. From that moment on, Ryuu’s life changes entirely. He is taken in by Ayato as a member of his guild, The Unlit Knavery-but not merely as a recruit. Ryuu becomes his disciple… and, in time, his potential successor. I bid you a good read!

He was brutally betrayed by his lover, his best friend and his own trusted team at the final boss, and for what, more rewards? Then he got reincarnated and swore for revenge. A good story of some one using all of his knowledge of his past life to cheat all of the way back to the top, but this time solo!

Kidnaped unknowingly. She became the one that manages all the systems over the worlds. With a touch of mischief and sadistic behavior, will the heroes over the worlds survive the missions given by this lunatic? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I'm no professional, I won't make empty promisses about the release schedule. But I will try my utmost to make it as at least 1 chapter per week as I know the pain of having to wait for weeks or even months for the next chapter. Hope people like my story.
