[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!

[Taste of Home]

Helix ran up the hill at full speed and walked past Masov and Salkey.

The two men looked as though they had seen a ghost.

He touched his neck and pulled out special herbs he got hunting.

The terrified Gryphon's eyes perked up, and it looked in Helix's direction.

Helix threw the herbs in front of the Gryphon.

It was a bundle that was a foot high and six inches across.

"Here you go. Maliko Root. Go on, take it." Helix coaxed with a gentle expression.

The two men watched the scene in disbelief.

The Gryphon instantly became gentle, and light tears welled in its eyes as it sniffed the roots.

"Go on. I have more. I'll let you covet some for later."

Helix wore a truly warm expression that baffled the men.

His partners ran up but approached respectfully and watched the scene with gentle gazes.

The Gryphon took the smallest nibble of the herbs, and more tears welled in its eyes.

It chewed them with a smile.
