Thanks for the invitation. I’m currently in Konoha, where I’ve just started my career as a villain—my salary strictly calculated by screen time. Name: Yagyū Masahiko Occupation: Ninja Academy Instructor Side Job: Professional Villain in the Naruto World My responsibilities include: Delivering a decisive blow to Naruto Secretly collaborating with Orochimaru Guiding Danzō to overthrow the ninja world from the shadows As long as I perform my role as a villain convincingly, my “salary” allows me access to any form of ninjutsu, forbidden techniques, secret arts, and even bloodline limits. My career goal is simple yet ambitious: to become an outstanding villain who survives until the very end. However, there’s a small problem. Despite being the main antagonist—the designated successor to the darkness of the ninja world—Tsunade insists on appointing me as the Hokage. How is this story supposed to continue like this? This is urgent. Awaiting advice online. 100 POWER STONE = BONUS CHAPTER Visit my Patreon to read up to 158 chapters ahead and enjoy daily updates: patreon.com/02Fanworks

Surviving A Novel I Don't Remember: A Tutor's Guide To Staying Alive

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child barely spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son slowly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm conversations, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Empire started falling apart. A masked criminal began tearing through the capital, and Julian started waking up with missing memories and an unsettling sense of déjà vu. No wounds. No explanations. Just the feeling that something had happened—and that he was better off not remembering it. He had thought he was the one being hunted. But the higher the Duke's affection climbed, the more frequent the blackouts became, and the more a terrifying possibility took shape. He came here to survive the story. Now, he was starting to suspect the Duke wasn't protecting him from the plot at all… He was protecting the plot from him.
