A Villain's Will to Survive - Chapter 191: World of the Voice (1)

For as long as he could remember, life had always been cruel.A young man in his early twenties—his name now lost to the past—was dealt a life filled with misfortunes.A cold, empty apartment, a soul-crushing job, and, finally, a terminal diagnosis.With nothing left to live for, his only comfort had been escaping into the fictional world of Path of the Elemental Sage, a story of heroes, magic, and survival.But fate had other plans.When death finally came for him, he didn’t fade into nothingness.Instead, he awoke in the world he had only read about—a world of chaos and danger where death lurked around every corner.The air smelled of magic, the sky was filled with possibilities.{«[Status Window]»}[Name: Lyrium Blackwood][Age: 16][Rank: D-][Skills: None][Elements: None}At first, confusion filled his mind.Who was Lyrium Blackwood?Why was he here?And why did this body feel so different?But as his memories returned, so did the realization: this wasn’t some blessing or second chance.He wasn’t reincarnated as the protagonist.No destined savior.No cheat abilities.No grand fate.He was just another mob, a face in the crowd meant to exist and die without leaving a mark.But this young man—the one who had left his old name and life behind—wasn’t the kind of person to roll over and accept his fate.“This world is dangerous. The protagonist isn’t the only one fighting for survival here,”he muttered, his red eyes deep and sharp.Unlike the naïve characters in the story, he knew the stakes.He’d read the web novel.He’d seen the carnage, the betrayals, the disasters that wiped out entire cities.And if there was one thing he refused to be, it was a pawn in someone else’s game.“I don’t care about glory. I don’t care about saving the world. All I care about is surviving—no matter what it takes.”Lyrium Blackwood wasn’t planning to live quietly or avoid danger.The only way to survive in this brutal world was to rise to the top.To be strong enough to stand above both heroes and villains.Using his knowledge of the story’s events and his iron will, Lyrium sets out on a relentless path to surpass the protagonist.Whether through clever manipulation, brutal training, or sheer desperation, he’ll climb higher and higher, leaving nothing to chance.But the deeper he gets, the more he realizes that this isn’t just the story he once read.As fate pushes him closer to the heart of the narrative, Lyrium begins to suspect that his reincarnation wasn’t an accident—and the world itself might be watching him.“I don’t care who or what stands in my way. If the story wants to kill me, I’ll rewrite the ending myself.”----------------------------------I apologize for any mistakes in this story, as it’s my first attempt at writing a novel.

[Entertainment circle + cool text + vest + real and fake daughter + double strong sweet pet]

Suddenly, she encountered an accident, and once she passed through the book, she became an 18th-line cannon fodder female supporting role that is popular on the Internet, and she is still a fake daughter who is not as good as the heroine in the book.

Black fan: Our Feifei’s acting skills crushed Shiran!

The next day, Shiran’s first drama aired, and the seven-second shot became popular on the Internet, overshadowing the lead actress Shi Wenfei.

After that, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and he won the best actress trophy in one fell swoop.

Black fan: Our Feifei sings well and can write lyrics, so what?

Top Streamer: To win the Best Golden Melody Award this time, I am most grateful to my gold medalist composer @时然.

Black fans:! ! !

One day when Shiran was broadcasting live, black fans frantically poured in, and the barrage of abuse filled the barrage.

Black fan: Our Feifei is engaged to the young master of the Zhou family! The fiancé is tall, rich and handsome and still dotes on her, unlike you, no one loves you!

“Honey, where are my things?”

The man’s deep and magnetic voice silenced the barrage.

In the next second, a man with a monstrous appearance appeared in front of the camera.

Everyone was shocked!

It turned out to be Chu Jinchen, the future patriarch of the first family!

The man’s black eyes swept across the barrage, pretending to be puzzled, “The Zhou family? I don’t know you.”

Shi Ran looked at someone in Versailles: “I’m live broadcasting.”

“How about a live broadcast that’s more interesting?” As he spoke, the man leaned closer and behaved intimately.

The audience showed their aunts and smiled.

As soon as the camera goes dark, the live broadcast is turned off.

The audience pounded on the keyboard frantically: Slam! Ask for a live broadcast!

The next day #影后公司恋情# was the top trending search.

Chu Jinchen: Baby is willing to disclose me!

Shi Ran: Are you sure you didn’t buy this hot search?

- Description from novelbuddy

The cycle of life is not infinite—except, perhaps, for Elijah.At 122 years old, Elijah lived a long and successful life—until he woke up as someone entirely new. Now, an anomaly in a mysterious kingdom sustained by magic, he faces questions about his place in a world that doesn't defy the laws of nature, but take them to an entirely new level.For over six millennia, this isolated realm of 300,000 citizens has thrived, its survival bound to the magic that nurtures its air, water, and food. Yet, some whisper that a kingdom refusing to expand is doomed to fall. How, then, has this kingdom endured?As Elijah uncovers ancient secrets, dives into treacherous cave systems, and grapples with the fatal flaws of magic, he learns the truth about existence itself—forces that shaped the cosmos. New alliances rise to confront an ancient plague, and the kingdom's delicate balance teeters on the edge of collapse.In this world, the vibrant hues of freedom and potential are mere illusions, like sunlight filtered through stained glass. Elijah must decide whether to shatter the illusion—or embrace it.————This novel goes into great detail about the ways of the people and how it will differ from the suspected outside world. What seems like a population of people who do not have much knowledge, show how they found their way by “feeling”, or by anecdotal(personal) evidence.

In a future city intertwined with science, magic, and various races, a fearsome villain lives.“How dare you try to use such a young child. Do you have no conscience?”“It’s truly regrettable. To think that this girl could be the key to eradicating a den of evil.”“You can rest easy now. We will definitely protect you.”Sorry, but I’m actually that villain…It seems like a serious misunderstanding.
