Tv Tropes No More Heroes

“You don't deserve this throne. Your birth was nothing more than a mistake by my late husband, so don't think any more of yourself. But if you still want to be King, then go into the territories and kingdoms outside Griffindale and build your army of followers and allies from scratch. Whenever you feel like you have amassed a huge following enough to seize the throne away from me, then you can come back to fight for it. But from now on, you are on exile.” “The throne belongs to me, Stepmother. Nevertheless, I will do as you ask. But rest assured, for what you've done, I will return—not just for my throne, but also for your head.” “While the Queen fumed with rage in her private chamber, Cyrus emerged from her quarters wearing a satisfied grin, knowing his destiny was now set in stone. He would one day become king, no matter what.” -------- This is my first novel on the platform, so my pacing and world-building aren't the best, but it gets better with time. The story is set in a medieval world, somewhere in an alternate version of ancient Europe. At first the tone focuses more on war and basic politics, but as the story progresses, there will be more magic/fantasy elements added - like dragons, witches and fables. If you enjoy the work, please consider supporting it in any way you can. Any means of support goes a long way for me and is duly appreciated. Have Fun!!!

Synopsis Eryx Vale was never meant to live. Reborn into a cultivation world as a minor villain, Eryx awakens with the knowledge of his own fate: he is destined to be publicly executed before the day ends, his death nothing more than a stepping stone for the story’s true protagonist. Escape is impossible. Begging is useless. Every path he remembers leads to the same ending—death. Just as fate closes in, a cold voice echoes in his mind. Villain Survival System activated. Unlike legendary cheat systems, Eryx’s System offers no free power and no mercy. Its rule is absolute: he can only grow stronger by surviving events where he is fated to die. Avoid destiny the wrong way, and the System itself will punish him. With execution looming, Eryx makes a choice no version of him ever made before—he refuses to follow the script. From the outer sect’s execution grounds to the inner realms ruled by monsters, cultivators, and hidden laws of destiny, Eryx begins tearing through a world that insists on his death. Each defied fate grants him dangerous rewards, each survival twists the future further out of control. But the more fate he breaks, the more the world pushes back. He is hunted by protagonists blessed by heaven, targeted by higher beings who despise anomalies, and watched by a System whose rewards grow more lethal with every success. To live, Eryx must become something worse than a villain. He must become the man fate itself cannot kill.
