Empire Ascension: The Rise of the Fated One - Chapter 5: Perilous Choices

I awoke as Violet, a familiar villainess trapped in a shady corporate research lab. Screw this! With my unstoppable cloning technique, I’m getting out of here and going to the Academy to live my own life!

A villainess known by all as a wicked woman who has done all sorts of evil deeds—Ducal Lady Violet.
She regained her memories of her previous life after she fell into a lake and almost died.
The very moment she woke up, she immediately visited her father, Duke Everett, and asked one thing.

“Please confine me to the annex.”

And so, she imprisoned herself there.
Now that Violet was secluded away from the world’s criticism and reproach,
She immersed herself in her previous life’s memories and started painting them.

“What the hell are you up to this time?”

Everyone was suspicious of just what she might be scheming.
However, the misunderstandings surrounding her gradually got resolved one at a time…

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called “last hope.”He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough.Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision:[Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.]Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual.Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s “legendary” starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life.Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first.After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.

[Polyandry + Adored by All + Pregnancy Runaway + Leveling Up + Pure Male Harem]Qiao Suisui opened her eyes and found herself in an interstellar beast world where females were scarce compared to males.How scarce?Looking around, she was the only viviparously born female!Bound to the fertility system, she became the target of a scramble among the big shots—A Colonel from the Empire Military Department, who betrayed his family just to give her a status.“I swear on the honor of the Sikoses Family, I will never let anyone harm you.”A previously indolent member of the Royal Family started on the path of power struggle just to protect her.“Suisui, no matter where your heart lies, I will never let go.”An obsessed scientist, who kneeled at her feet, humbly begging for love.“Qiao Suisui, you're lying to me... you also love me, right... why won't you look at me...”The last blood of the Wolf Clan, who was a bloodthirsty killer in public, but behind closed doors, he transformed into a big dog, warming her feet with his belly.“Sister, our Wolf Clan mates for life. You touched my tail, so you have to take responsibility.”(More men joining the lineup...)System: The stronger the male gene, the higher the quality of the reward.Qiao Suisui: (Resting her chin on her hands) Let me see who I should seduce today...PS. The female protagonist appears fragile but is actually calculating and self-serving. All males are merely tools for reproduction.
