[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!

[Riley]

Riley took the sheet of parchment with nervous hands.

"Sir Riley Singer. Sir Helix Hellsgate Margrave has requested that…."

Riley's eyes welled with tears.

Marie and Charlotte looked at Riley in confusion.

She wasn't one to become emotional immediately.

"I tell you how much he loves you in this letter.

As the most selfless of the Earthians, you're never in the spotlight, so you deserve something… special."

Riley burst into tears, and Marie and Charlotte's faces developed blinding smiles.

The two ran up to Riley to hug her.

The young woman laughed and cried at the attention.

"This is…." Riley choked.

"Is surreal. And… that happiest day of my life."

Helix's partners hugged her and held her tight.

Riley took out the ring in the envelope, which was extremely minimalistic.

It was a plain silver band with nothing on it.
