Absolute Drop Rate: Every Loot Is Cursed

Sanjar_Azadov
Kai Ren is the weakest hunter in a world overrun by dungeons, monsters, and a brutal ranking system. Then, during a failed dungeon raid that should have killed him, he awakens a skill no one has ever seen before: Absolute Drop Rate. Every monster he kills drops loot. Every battle gives him rewards. Every dungeon becomes his chance to rise. But there is one terrifying problem. Every single item he gets is cursed. A sword that grows stronger by drinking blood. A ring that devours mana and whispers in the dark. Armor that protects its wearer while slowly erasing emotion. At first, Kai believes he can control the curses and use them to escape poverty, save his sick sister, and climb above the hunters who once looked down on him. He is wrong. As his cursed inventory grows, hidden forces inside the System begin to notice him. Powerful guilds, forbidden experiments, and a shadowy organization tied to the origin of the dungeons all move in silence, waiting for the moment Kai becomes either their weapon... or their enemy. In a world where power always comes with a price, Kai may be the only hunter willing to pay it.

Surviving in the Demon Academy as My Novel's Final Antagonist

I just finished writing the last chapter of my novel, [Powering Through the Prestigious Academy With No Talent], where the final villain was defeated by the protagonist. This novel that I designed meticulously from head to toe...was now done. The protagonist shakily pointed his cold blade at the villain's neck, "Any last words?" The villain wasn't fazed, despite nearing his death, and smiled widely, as if mocking the protagonist, "No, nothing." "Just kill me." "...Very well.", and with one slash, the villain was killed. In the end, such an outcome was inevitable, no matter how powerful the villain became. And that was the ultimate satisfaction for any avid reader. But the next moment, I suffered an excruciating headache, and collapsed before I was able to upload the last chapter. Unexpectedly, when I woke up and opened my eyes, I wasn't in a hospital, nor my room, but a cemetery. I felt around my clothes that were getting drenched in the rain, and saw my dashingly red hair in a puddle nearby. My face was now completely different from before; my mouth naturally tugged upwards, and my eyes became slits as if they were sewn shut. Unmistakably, I recognized this appearance, which I had envisioned countless times. No, wait, why do I look like that guy? Where is my computer? My phone? Eventually, I realized--I'd reincarnated as the final villain in my novel! The ending scene of the villain dying by the protagonist's hands flashed through my eyes, and I remembered the words I said right after I wrote it. It's inevitable. "...I'm screwed."
