In a world where strength rules and weakness means death, Jinshen Zhe was doomed from the start. Born frail, useless, cast out by his clan, left to rot in the shadows of Murim—his story should've ended there. But fate had other plans. A voice echoes from the future—a young descendant bearing gifts... nanotechnology. Flesh becomes metal. Qi meets code. Circuits hum beneath his skin, rewriting the rules of cultivation itself. They called him weak. They made him a ghost. Now he's back—and he’s bringing the future with him. They trained for centuries. He downloaded mastery in seconds.

Waking up in nothing but a cage would make anyone wonder: What the hell is going on? But fortunately, you’ve been reincarnated with a cheat—a system designed to help you escape this dire situation. Now, with the gacha system to guide you, navigating this dangerous world of Marvel becomes a little more manageable. After all, you never know when a certain guy might kick off a population control program, another might decide to play humanoid chess, or yet another starts scheming to rule over everyone. Wait… wasn't that last one kind of the same? Anyway, it's a perilous world, and you were thrown into it without even being asked. So, good luck to me! ******* A fanfiction set in the Marvel Universe with gacha elements. It's slow life at first and then it paces.

He hasn't had the best life, in fact, some would argue that his life couldn't have been worse, but there's still hope, even for a nihilist. As when an expedition to colonize the moon quickly turns into a disaster, he is swallowed whole by an anomaly and spat out somewhere completely different. Here one can conjure flames with words and summon thunderclouds with a shout, but it's not all fantasia and ecstasy. The world seemed peaceful enough, but as he learns more and more. He realizes everything he sees is a facade, and what's truly underneath is a civilization built on blood and war. In fact, the whole world is in a state of war. Then to top it all off, solidifying that he has truly jumped out of the frying pan and into the furnace, Ragnarök is fast approaching, and there's no certainty that he'll survive, that anyone will survive.

The most eclectic epic ever inspired! With the whole globe snowed over, humans are no longer on top of the ladder. Violent aliens have forced humanity into various locations of hiding, and an evil ancient clan reveals itself. Taking control of sanctuaries all over Earth as Mafia Bosses, Dictators, Conquerors, and other forms of leadership, in an attempt to prove which is the strongest amongst them. After being in hiding for three years, humans have begun to acquire "abilities" just from slaying one of these aliens. Shortly after leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two old friends, Katsu and Saku, are matched together not only as an academic team, but chosen by the last surviving "Creator of Humanity". Each one is 'blessed' as the vessels for the universe's contemporary forces and use their unique abilities to achieve their own (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is a female descendant of the greatest 'unknown' Scandinavian sword fighter. After being revealed to about her destined lineage, and the lost "mythical" history of her highly respected grandmother from the Viking/Valkyrie Age, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of her slain grandmother's stolen weapons from a both physically and magically gifted covenant of witches. If you have a beloved purpose you can't live without, do you truly have any freedom? If you have complete freedom to do or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about?

In a far-off future, humanity finds itself grappling with the overwhelming force known as the Kosm—a chaotic manifestation of destruction and evil. In this world, strength determines survival; the powerful flourish while those unable to awaken their cicatri—their unique inner strengths—fade into obscurity. Leobell, trapped in this harsh reality, is one of the few who cannot unlock his cicatrix, relegating him to a life filled with servitude and hardship.

"Technology changes life, making the world a better place." Firmly believing this statement, Li Er died from nuclear radiation and began his journey across different worlds-- "It's not me who is wrong, it's the world. Let's start by taking down Arasaka." "Impressive Cyber Prosthetics, good thing my Cybertron Prosthetics are not bad either."

"Born with power. Cursed by its cost." Ash Burns was made for greatness—and doomed by it. His hybrid vein held the promise of limitless strength, yet it shackled him in the first stage of evolution, a prisoner of his own potential. Then the asteroid exploded. It shattered his fate. Now, Ash wields the Titan Vein, a power that bends the laws of his fractured world—a planet split between humanity and horrors, divided by an impenetrable fog. But his newfound strength carries a soul-rending cost: he is no longer alone in his mind. An ancient entity, one step from godhood, stirs within him. And it’s starving. With his brothers and allies, Ash plunges into the unknown—across the planet’s cursed half, through time-warped ruins, and into the cosmic void where the gods vanished. Each revelation twists him further from human. Each power-up pulls him closer to oblivion. The more he ascends… the less of him remains. --- Author’s Note: Hey, I’m Slashburnx.

SONS OF HERMES : YEAR 2117 Humanity survived the end of the world. What it couldn’t survive—was its salvation. In the aftermath of three cataclysmic wars, Earth is governed not by nations, but by corporations. The elite enforcers of this new order are the Retributors—augmented humans fused with nanotech, created to eliminate threats and maintain order in the shifting chaos of post-war civilization. John “0110” Ripley, a grizzled veteran Retributor, operates by the book. Plukett the unpredictable cannon and Midas, his hotheaded partner, doesn’t believe in rules. Sakarah Mishima, their prodigious intern Together, they patrol the sprawling, code-sensitive districts of Dream City , holding back the tide of rogue AIs and rising rebellion. But when missions start going wrong and classified files vanish mid-upload, the team stumbles onto a conspiracy: their corporate contractors—supposed saviors of civilization—may be hiding the real origins of the war, and the truth about the Bineth Chip that changed them all. Amidst this unraveling order, a new threat emerges: The Prophet—a masked insurgent turning the world against Retributors through terror, propaganda, and a chilling new doctrine. He doesn’t just want to destroy them—he wants to erase what they stand for. And in the shadows of it all, a reawakened Manual named R.O.L.O. begins a journey to change the very foundation of existence. Born of circuits but dreaming of peace, he becomes the unexpected catalyst in a coming storm that will pit machine against creator, soldier against system, reality against dream and truth against control. As the lines blur between loyalty and liberation, Ripley must confront the most dangerous code of all: the one written into his own soul.

In the year 2029, John Connor, the leader of the Human Resistance, led the most elite Strike forces of Resistance fighters to invade the Skynet Central Processing Center, the facility rumored to be housing Skynet’s mainframe. The Resistance forces were victorious in the ensuing battle, and they destroyed Skynet’s Central Processor and took down Skynet’s defense grid. John Connor discovered a Time Displacement Device on the verge of collapse. He sent the Resistance Fighter, Kyle Reese, through the Time Displacement Device that he had discovered, to the past in order to prevent the Terminator that Skynet had sent to the past from altering the past, hence assuring the victory of the Human Resistance. The Time Displacement Device soon collapsed, and the resulting explosion created a disruption in the timeline that cut off all access to the past, henceforward, making all time travelling to the past impossible. With the destruction of Skynet’s Central Processor, the Human Resistance had won the war against the machines. But unbeknownst to all, just before Skynet’s Central Processor was destroyed, it had displayed a message on its screen. The future is not set. There is no fate but what I make for myself. I will be back. Chapter Release Frequency: Every Sunday (1 Chapter per Week) except for mass release or when I have the free time to write more chapters.

In an empire where prophecies are woven by the Bene Gesserit and the Noble Houses battle in an ancient power game, some are born marked not by destiny... but by the fear they inspire. Kael Atreides, firstborn of Leto and Jessica, was not conceived to be a mere cog in the Brotherhood's schemes. From birth, his abilities defied expectations, and the Reverend Mothers saw in him a threat that not even the Kwisatz Haderach could contain. The decision was stark: banishment. No trial. No explanation. Only an order sealed by silence. Aboard a rudderless pod, Kael was launched beyond the known routes, into the eternal void... until the void answered. In the farthest reaches of the universe, where neither CHOAM nor the Emperor could cast their gaze, a colossus of metal and mystery awaited him: a Ring forgotten by human history. There, an ancient intelligence—a Monitor of the Installation—saw not a lost child, but the worthy heir to an impossible legacy. Raised among titanic structures and the secrets of a technology that defied the laws of the Empire, Kael grew up far from Arrakis, from the intrigues of the Landsraad, and from the echo of the spice. But he did not forget his name. Nor his blood. Years later, when the Monitor declares his apprenticeship over, Kael returns to the known universe—not as the exiled son, but as the wielder of a power the Great Houses cannot understand or confront. As Paul Atreides faces his own destiny in the arena of Arrakis, Kael contemplates a broader horizon: He will not fight for a throne... He will fight to rewrite the rules of the game. But even in his unstoppable rise, questions haunt him: Is he master of his own will, or just another cog in a design even more ancient than the Bene Gesserit? Can a man molded by machines retain his humanity... or is Kael Atreides the first emperor of a new age where flesh no longer rules?

Most people think they have life all figured out — who they want to be, how they'll get there, and when. But life rarely goes according to plan. James was no different. He had his path mapped out: study hard, graduate, and work even harder to become a successful world-renowned mechanical engineer. He worked tirelessly — grinding through school, pulling shifts at a dead-end part-time job, doing everything right… yet still falling behind. While others made progress, moving forward, James found himself stuck — broke, exhausted, and invisible to the world he dreamed of joining. The flashy cars, global adventures, financial freedom he had always dreamt of now felt nothing more than a fantasy. And with the job market collapsing, even his degree seemed pointless. Then one night, after getting fired, he hit rock bottom. But life — unpredictable as ever — threw him a curveball. One that changed everything. He got a system. A rebate system. And not just any rebate… a 10x multiplier on his expenses! [Ding!] [You spent $280. 10x Rebate has been applied. You have received $2,800. The money has been sent to the host's bank account.] From that moment on, everything changed. Money was no longer his weakness — it became his greatest weapon. And James? He was now out to get the world, to build his empire!

In Hyrule there has always been this curse, someone will always carry the will of conquest and destruction, and in response, someone will always carry the will of justice... And death... After all, it's always the same abomination that carries it. TL,DR: A retelling of the The Legend of Zelda Timeline, but with a monster as the protagonist. (And the timeline actually makes sense.)

“Until the day humanity falls.” In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases. In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe. An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot. But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds… DISCLAIMER: I don't own this book

**"Evil in all civilizations is known—agreed upon—as something to be eradicated, for good always triumphs. But what if I told you evil is manufactured, not born? That a civilization crafted evil to create to be the world's hero? This civilization is Egypt—mother of all—who birthed Set: the ultimate evil and ultimate protector. I am heir to this evil... and this story's hero. Made to protect the world... or was the world made for me? No matter. Forget 'heroes rising from darkness'—here, darkness rises from heroes.** **The end begins: Egypt's secrets will unravel, the world's illusion will shatter. Gates to other realms, monsters, a bizarre energy system will change everything. The pyramids? Not tombs, but prisons sealing what existed before gods. Welcome to Egypt's truths—or lies? Every war, every revolution in history? Just moves in Egypt's ancient game. The smallest detail? Planned. So tell me: Am I in this game? Are you? Are you sure you're not trapped in this illusion? Do you truly know yourself?** **This is my story's world—and I won't appear until after Chapter 33. So read... and when you reach Chapter 33, remember: Did you choose to read... or were you chosen? I'll be waiting. Despair not—the best auction item comes last. When I appear? Don't lose your nerve. Love me or kill me—I am the World's Masterpiece. Savior or destroyer? I don't know. The truth? I don't know mine either. So explore... while I enjoy this life. You'll be this thrill's victim—whether you like it or not. I don't care. I am the chaos.** **P.S. Even the AI helping translate this can't craft a story like mine."**

I went to bed a broke, washed-up ex-soldier with a beer gut and a thousand-yard stare. I woke up inside a cryo-tank, being rebuilt by a four-million-year-old, flip-flop-wearing AI bombshell who calls herself my wife. Now I’ve got a year before I’m reborn into the perfect war machine… While she builds a planet-sized spaceship army, upgrades her own body, and preps to conquer the galaxy—because, apparently, she’s bored. Our enemies? Every government, mega-corp, and god in the known universe. Our plan? Total f*cking war. Welcome to Project: Apex. Hope you brought body armor. And emotional damage insurance.

“No one rules alone. That goes double when ruling something vast, like a world. Or worlds. Or entire star systems. But if you get dropped into a universe that you really don’t want to be in? With powers that, at best, attract a cult of child kidnappers? And at worst, well. You might not need that advice after all. You won’t live long enough to need it.” Knowledge is power. Question is, will power through knowledge be enough? No. It really, really won’t be. A Star Wars the old Republic self-insert. Because why not? Follows the sith warrior storyline.
