I noticed the absolute lack of Code Vein content in here and dropped this since I remembered I had an account... Just the good ol' *original protagonist* is somehow replaced by *main character* Fanfic. But can the MC really rely on his meta-knowledge when a video game becomes his new reality? Let's see how our main character tries to secure a future where he can enjoy his new nigh-immortality in a messed-up world and do his best to get a happy ending!

Looking past the lady knight, she saw Podrick Payne and her breath caught in her throat. "No, no," she turned back to Brienne, tears stinging her eyes. "You've come to take me back." Brienne shook her head, "I swear I haven't, my lady. I swear, I am here to protect you. To help you however you need." "I know him," she said....

What if everything was just a game? Kozuwa Kurisu is not a hero. Not a savior. Not even someone particularly serious. But when he wakes up in the body of Regulus Corneas—one of the most absurd and invincible beings in the world of Re:Zero—he realizes one essential truth… This world is no longer a story. It’s his playground. No justice. No grand morality. No heroic destiny. Just fun. Through provocations, manipulations, and unpredictable situations, Kurisu decides to live this new life his way: by trolling absolutely everything. Allies, enemies, the rules of the world—even narrative logic… nothing is safe. Every event becomes an experiment. Every encounter, a test. Every reaction, a spectacle. And most importantly… he is not alone. Somewhere above, something is watching. “Author-san.” A presence he can almost feel… almost influence. A strange connection breaking the boundary between fiction and reality—where Kurisu is no longer just a character, but a conscious player shaping his world. So why hold back? Why follow a story already written… when you can break it… and enjoy it?

"Special Admission, Rank 1." That was the title on the golden invitation I threw into the trash three months ago. Back then, I was the Crime Lord of Oakhaven. I had money, territory, and an ego that touched the sky. Why would a King lower himself to attend a school? I was arrogant. I was foolish. And I paid the price. It took less than an hour for a single knight to turn my criminal empire into a graveyard. He didn't just defeat me; he ignored me. I was an ant beneath the boot of a god. Broken and desperate, I used my last asset: a golden letter granting me entry to Zenith Imperial Academy as "Special Admission Rank 1." It’s a lie. I’m not a prodigy. I’m a fraud with no foundation, surrounded by the strongest heirs in the Empire who want to see me bleed. I can’t cast their spells. I can’t hold their weapons. But I can steal their lives. My Authority is [Usurper]. While they study theory, I steal reflexes. While they practice honor, I copy trauma. I am not here to learn. I am here to hunt. My targets are the "Four Calamities"—four women who hold powers strong enough to rewrite reality. They think I’m their peer. They don’t know I’m the parasite waiting to hollow them out. I’m going to make them mine. Discord: https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

"Absolutely not!" Petunia said, doing her best to keep her voice low. "I am not going to stand here and waste my time answering your stupid questions. You want him, take him! We never wanted him to begin with!" Releasing Harry, she stormed off taking Dudley with her. Harry was at a loss for words, torn between running after her and knowing that whatever was to happen now couldn't be any worse than living with his aunt and uncle. Wanting to learn more about his parents, Harry made to decision to stay with the man who suddenly seemed at a loss of what to do. With an unconformable cough, Kingsley bent down to Harry's level. "What's your name, son?" "Harry, sir. Harry Potter." The look on Kingsley's face would have been comical were the situation clearly not so serious. It took several moments of staring and stuttering for Kingsley to form a coherent word. "Harry Potter you said?" He all but whispered. Harry nodded.....

Yun Che expected many things after death. Becoming a thirteen-year-old blacksmith’s son in a cultivation world was not one of them. In the mountain city of Mistforge, strength decides survival. Sects recruit geniuses, beasts roam the frozen wilds, and ancient bloodlines hide beneath forgotten names. Yun Che has no legendary master, no divine treasure, and no interest in blindly following someone else’s path. What he does have is a blacksmith’s hammer, memories of another world, and a dangerous talent for turning impossible ideas into weapons. Armor. Rifles. Cannons. Puppets. Monster transformations. While other cultivators inherit ancient techniques, Yun Che intends to build his own road—one rune, one invention, and one battle at a time. But beyond Mistforge’s walls, the world is far larger and far crueler than he imagined. And something in the Abyss has already noticed him. First Part: Yun Che's Journey Second Part: Sect Establishment Slow Paced. Single Pairing

Reborn in Konoha before the Third Shinobi World War, Ren awakens a strange system. The Ninja World Galgame System. But instead of dating girls… He has to build relationships with his ninjutsu.

ANG UNANG AVATAR Synopsis Sa isang mundong nahahati sa apat na sinaunang kaharian—Aerwyn, tagapangalaga ng hangin; Pyrrha, tagapamahala ng apoy; Nerith, tagapagtanggol ng tubig; at Terravelle, tagapangalaga ng lupa—bawat tao ay ipinapanganak na may kakayahang kumontrol ng isang elemento lamang. Ngunit si Aira, isang ordinaryong dalagitang lumaki sa tahimik na nayon ng Lumen, ay natuklasang iba siya sa lahat. Sa isang misteryosong pangyayari, nagawa niyang kontrolin ang apat na elemento—isang kakayahang hindi pa kailanman nakita sa kasaysayan. Sa kanyang paglalakbay, malalaman ni Aira ang isang katotohanang magbabago sa buong mundo: siya ang unang Avatar. Hindi siya nagmula sa isang sinaunang linya ng mga Avatar, sapagkat wala pang nauna sa kanya. Siya ang pinakaunang taong pinagkalooban ng kakayahang pag-isahin ang apat na elemental na puwersa. Ngunit kasabay ng kanyang paggising ay ang pag-usbong ng isang matandang banta. Ang mga kaharian ay muling nagkakawatak-watak, lumilitaw ang mga mahiwagang nilalang, at isang lihim na organisasyon ang naghahangad na puksain ang Avatar bago pa niya matuklasan ang tunay na pinagmulan ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Kasama ang mga bagong kaibigan at gabay na makikilala niya sa kanyang paglalakbay, kailangang matutunan ni Aira hindi lamang kung paano gamitin ang apat na elemento, kundi kung paano pag-isahin ang mga taong matagal nang magkakahiwalay. Ngunit habang mas lumalalim ang kanyang paglalakbay, matutuklasan niyang ang pagiging Avatar ay hindi lamang tungkol sa kapangyarihan. Si Aira ang simula ng isang bagong panahon. At kung mabigo siya, maaaring wala nang susunod na Avatar na magliligtas sa mundo.
