[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!

[Trial By Fire]

"If you find me amusing, I'll graciously exchange mischief for training." Helix replied with a serious expression.

After a moment of stunned silence, Tyrene burst into laughter.

"I don't know whether to laugh or cry, kid." She asserted while wiping light tears from her eyes.

Elsa glared daggers at him, but Helix gave her a light shrug and an expression that read, "[it couldn't be helped].

"I like your spunk. However, you shouldn't be so eager.

If you train with me, I plan to flay your ass and grill it on skewers." She replied with a sharp gaze.

"I now know where Macron got his mannerisms." Helix chuckled with a wry smile.

"Hah. That softy? My language is the only thing he picked up from me.

He didn't pick up on my willingness to execute my words." Tyrene declared with a chilly gaze.

Helix shivered.

"I'm bitter to say this. But after seeing your match with Tilo, I won't even try to convince you to be my apprentice.
