The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

THE VILLAIN PRINCE REFUSES TO DIE

After dying in a modern world 'Intentional' accident 55 years ago, as a modern university student. Kagen woke up inside the body of Prince Cassian Valemont — the infamous villain prince of the Holy Empire of Edrath. From a dark fantasy novel his sister loved the most. In the original story, the prince becomes corrupted by forbidden shadow magic and is publicly executed by the empire’s war hero, Sir Lucien Arden. And Kagen remembers only one thing from his sister's summaries: “The prince dies horribly.” Determined to survive, he avoids cruelty, stops provoking nobles, and tries to stay away from forbidden magic. But there is only one problem. He has already transmigrated before. Again. And again. And again. Every timeline ends the same way: betrayal, political manipulation, forced royal marriages, pregnancy used as political control, and finally execution at the hands of Sir Lucien Arden...all the damn time. At first, Kagen tried everything to survive. He acted kind. He acted obedient. He ran away. He exposed corruption. He avoided forbidden magic. He even sacrificed himself for the kingdom. But nothing changed. Every path led back to death...with Sir Lucien's blade. So eventually, Kagen stops trying to become a good person nor a bad person, he stops trying at all if it means surviving as Cassian Valemont. At least until he finds his way back home and strangle his sister to death for switching his ritual patterns and led him into this world instead. But during all that idleness, will Lucien sit by and watch him from afar while he does nothing with his life or will he hunt him down and get closer to him in this turn too?

On-Court

At Victoria High School, where basketball is a religion and the elite rule the courts, seventeen-year-old Cherry is a ghost in the hallways. For five years, her entire existence has been a drug-fueled daydream centered on one person: Green, the school's golden boy and star athlete. Cherry is convinced that a single moment of intimacy with him is the key to her salvation. When she is handpicked to cover the championship season for the school editorial, her fantasy finally maneuvers into reality. But the dream she chased for half a decade doesn't just crumble-it explodes. What follows is a devastating cycle of heartbreak, public humiliation, and a life-altering crash that strips Cherry of everything, forcing her into the grueling climb toward sobriety and a seat in therapy. Now, Cherry is starting over. With a high-stakes internship at Alfred Magazine and her past in the rearview, she is finally writing a story where she is the protagonist. That is, until Travis walks into her classroom. He's the boy who saved her life when she hit rock bottom, yet he looks at her with the cold eyes of a stranger. Haunted by a past he refuses to share and armed with a "jerk" persona designed to keep everyone at bay, Travis is a mystery Cherry can't afford to solve. As the pressure of second-term exams looms and her career at the magazine takes off, Cherry must decide: Will she fight to uncover the man behind Travis's mask, or is she destined to lose herself in another boy's shadow?
