[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!

[Nightmare Pact]

Helix turned back toward the ocean with a melancholy expression.

"What else can I do?" He asked with a frown.

Tyrene contemplated the question and then took a deep, empathetic breath.

"Nothing." She sighed.

"Exactly."

The two sat in silence for a few minutes and listened to the waves crashing into the docks.

"If you've accepted this fate, why do you look so conflicted about Alzeria?" Tyrene asked softly.

"Is it because you don't want to endanger your lovers or make them sad?"

Helix gave her a sidelong glance and nodded.

"Then why don't you let them choose for you?" She asked with a gentle voice.

Helix thought about it for a couple of minutes with a pondering expression.

"I think that's what I'll do." He replied softly.

"Thanks for the insight. That makes things a lot easier."

Tyrene nodded.

"In the meantime, I'll speak to Tilo, and we'll accelerate your training schedule to focus on a battle capacity.
