Cursed Womb: Leveling Up Inside the Villain

The assassin’s blade kisses Silas’s throat—then his hand jerks up and catches it, moving without his command. Inside the tyrant’s body, Ella screams as the host’s mind turns on her: control this body or be erased. She was once a top monster hunter. Now she’s a parasitic second consciousness trapped inside the world’s most hated villain, able to level up only by stealing his mana. As Silas’s empire collapses and his lethal assassin, Vivian, closes in, Ella must battle him for every breath—while Vivian begins hunting for the mysterious soul beneath his skin. Worse, Silas’s loneliness and dark desire are starting to seep through the walls of her mind. If Ella seizes the body, Silas will vanish; if she fails, the assassin’s next strike will kill them both—so which soul will awaken behind his eyes?
