[Nightmare]

Helix didn’t want to become a protagonist. Unfortunately, he was summoned to another world against his will, and a mad god was dead set on making him the hero. After turning down her offer for comical power and a harem-attracting charm attribute, he was left with [zeros] for all of his stats. Worse, he was given a legendary magic class that creates illusions of an enemy’s greatest fear and has a millennium-long history of killing its wielders in the first month. His decision left him defenseless around 49 jealous light novel-reading Earthians with delusional desires to be the protagonist and slaughter their way to godhood. Stranded in a world where [everyone] is one punch man, only his mind and cunning will help him survive. — [Nightmare] explores cliches from a real-world perspective. The mc doesn't want to be a protagonist—that never changes. It's a dynamic that makes this story a satisfying dark comedy and constantly asks interesting questions. This novel examines how the [mindsets] of the weebs shape how they view and interact with it. It covers RPG culture, harem culture, cultivator world mindset, system wish fulfillment, real-world weak to strong complications, and the twisted nature of overpowered characters. Yes: Helix gets satisfyingly op. Note: I had to read a truckload of cliche novels to roast cliches. Especially cultivation cliches—I'm writing a cultivation novel! XD [Sexual content warning]. There are lemons. You're welcome. If you like the comedy aspect, try out my other novel My Yandere Harem for ultimate yandere goodness. —Important Disclaimer— This novel has a heartbreaking scene that highlights the tragic consequences of the cultivator mindset. 80% of the people drop do it because of that chapter. I wouldn't have written it if I knew how adverse WN readers were to character deaths. Please don't drop because of that scene. The decision was bad, but the story isn't. If it hits you like a bag of bricks, it means that my writing was powerful, and there's a lot of potential in the future. Enjoy the novel!

[Home Stretch]

"Wait, what!?" Charlotte cried with a sense of thrill blazing in her eyes.

Marie wasn't so enthused.

She looked down at Helix's sleeping face with a slightly worried expression.

However, she couldn't help but get dragged back into the story's absurdity.

Marie was filled with pride, knowing her lover was an impossible human being.

"So… it will only level 62.5 meters at 25% power?" Riley asked.

Once she put a hard number on the spell's power, the area became quiet.

The absurdity was just too unbelievable.

"... Yes." Tyrene sighed.

"Anyway… I can't fault the kid after verifying the blast resistance of the scales for myself."

Tilo ran his fingers through his brown curly hair and started chuckling with light madness in his eyes.

"More than that, he set up a network of defense barriers and created safety triggers."

Helix modified each Charge Barrier trigger to output maximum defense upon sensing heat.

It lowered the spell's duration but increased its strength threefold.
