"For my needs—I need not a man, but a weapon."
___
In the year 2030, everything changed.
Portals to other dimensions appeared without warning.
We called them dungeons.
And from them came monsters that knew only destruction.
But in humanity’s darkest hour, a sliver of hope emerged.
People began awakening strange abilities—Talents—to fight back.
Years passed. A fragile normal returned.
Our story begins with Elian Reeds, a teenage student born in this new world—without a Talent.
A Defect, they called him. Useless. Broken.
But one being seems to disagree.
A dead woman whose name still strikes fear and reverence alike:
Bianca Valestra—the infamous villainess with divine beauty and a heart of ice.
And she has chosen him.
What if the girl who saved your life was already dead? And what if you had to lose yourself just to get her back? Greetings, everyone! I’m the author, and I proudly give my work 5 stars—because it took me months to nail down the concept I truly wanted. And now I share it to you all with pride. This tale follows a young man’s journey to find his place in a world where everything is determined by birth. In a society that casts him aside as a “Defect,” how will he fight, struggle, and grow stronger? As an overpowered story, his rise will happen quickly—but not without reason. That reason is the female lead: the so-called Dead Villainess. In a market saturated by harems, villain tropes, and system novels, My Wife is a Dead Villainess, and I’m Her Living Weapon will chart its own path. 1. The MC will be a role model worth rooting for. While edgy teens and cruel protagonists are all the rage, Elian will be someone you’d want as a friend. He is my ideal version of what masculinity should be: A man you trust to have your back. Someone your children can look up to. The kind of person you’d want protecting your sister or daughter. A man who makes the world a better—and safer—place. 2. This novel is strictly single FL. There will be other female characters, but Bianca is Elian’s one and only. Their romance will be a slow burn—because every moment of passion should be earned. They will bond. They will bicker. But they will never waver. 3. Expect comedy, heartwarming moments, and plenty of action. This story is meant to entertain and bring joy. Yes, there are real stakes. But there’s already too much negativity in the world. I want to write something that reminds us why life is worth loving. There will be setbacks. But this book will have a happy ending—so rest easy. 4. I know this story won’t be for everyone—and that’s okay. If it doesn’t resonate with you, I wish you the best. I don’t think less of anyone for walking away. But for those who step into Elian’s world and feel the thrill of battle... Or find their hearts quietly aching through his slow romance with Bianca... I thank you. From the bottom of my heart. 5. A story built on emotion. This may be a male-lead action novel, but it carries the heart of a female-lead romance. I’m an avid reader of both—and I’ve fused what I love most from each. Core concepts: She may be dead. But he lives for her. In her silence, he finds strength. In his fury, she finds peace. Lastly, this book draws inspiration from [Arifureta], [Ending Maker], and [I Stole the First Ranker’s Soul]. I loved those books to death. If you see similarities, those are intentional. But just from the title alone, you’ll already see how our plotlines differ. Please join me as I write this story to completion. To God be all the glory. — 1MomentofValor
Finally, this MF dared to publish the damn story. About time! He took me through so many different betas that I forgot what the first one was even about… but I have to say, the final version feels much more polished. Give my writer friend a chance. He’s been honing his craft for years, and I know he’s dedicated. He won’t leave you hanging. It’s definitely worth reading! So read now! ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻
Really excited for this work. Was a beta reader for all of its iterations. The author has been trying to write this since December, and it evolved so much during from then till now. From a starship pilot with an alien harem, to an overpowered SSS ranked adventurer sent to the future, to a fat trucker being sent to fight bugs in an alien war. I tip my half off to the dedication of this author. Kudos to you moment! Glad to see this thing finally get published.
