Star Ascension Edge

Galaticwarrior32
Synopsis: In the vast, unforgiving expanse ruled by the ruthless Terran Imperium, humanity reigns supreme across galaxies through iron-fisted control and the power of Star Ascension – a cultivation system blending genetic enhancement and technology that allows individuals to challenge starships and ascend towards godhood. But even these 'True Gods' are mere ants compared to the ancient beings dwelling at cultivation's theoretical peak, beings whose distant power shapes the cosmos. Amidst this backdrop of cosmic might and brutal politics, Junior Lieutenant Valerius begins his career on Aethelburg VI, a forgotten fringe world. Born to privilege but starting at the lowest officer rank (M2-E), Valerius burns with cold, calculated ambition: not just to climb the ranks of the Imperium, but to seize control of it as a tool for his true goal – reaching the apex of Star Ascension and achieving ultimate domination over all existence. When a sudden pirate attack devastates his remote outpost and kills the commanding officer, Valerius ruthlessly seizes command, making brutal choices that prioritize his path forward over the lives of others. This marks the first step on a bloody journey through pirate skirmishes, clashes with powerful alien empires potentially stronger than the Imperium itself, and the treacherous currents of internal Imperial politics. Each battle won, each rival crushed, each necessary sacrifice made fuels his ascent in both military rank and personal power through the stages of Star Ascension. But as Valerius's strength grows, so do the enemies arrayed against him, and the existential questions posed by the silent, unfathomable powers of the universe loom ever larger. Can one man dominate a cosmos filled with such overwhelming power, or will his ruthless climb consume him and the Imperium he seeks to master? Star Ascension: Imperium's Edge begins the epic, multi-episode saga of a man willing to burn galaxies for ultimate power

Forged in Chaos: A Transmigrator’s Tale in the DC Universe

Waking up in an alleyway in Gotham City was not how Ethan Reyes expected his day to start. The last thing he remembered was crashing on his couch after a long gaming session, only to find himself in a world he recognized all too well—one filled with gods, monsters, and vigilantes dressed as bats. It took him a moment to realize the city wasn’t just a detailed dream. The distant sirens, the oppressive skyline, and the neon flicker of a nearby ACE Chemicals sign confirmed it. This was Gotham. And that was bad. Then came the pain. It burned through his veins like molten fire before settling into his fingertips. A strange, instinctual urge filled his mind. His gaze landed on the dumpster beside him. Scattered around were a broken switchblade and a rusty pipe. Before he could think, his hands moved on their own, touching both objects. A pulse of energy surged through him, and suddenly, the two items fused—the broken switchblade now embedded itself within the pipe like a makeshift spear. "Holy—What the hell was that?" Experimenting further, he picked up a discarded smartphone and a pair of cheap sunglasses. Another pulse of power, and—bam—a pair of futuristic-looking AR glasses now rested in his hands, displaying HUD information in his vision. That was when it clicked. He had a power—an ability that allowed him to fuse objects together. The results? Unpredictable. Some combinations worked beautifully, while others... not so much. And in a world where Batman, Superman, and the Joker roamed, a power like this was both a blessing and a curse. Survival in Gotham Ethan quickly learned that Gotham was not kind to the weak. Without money or connections, he had to rely on his ability to survive. His first breakthrough came when he fused a lockpick set with a stolen smartwatch—creating a device that could crack digital locks. He used it to raid an abandoned weapons stash, arming himself with gear of his own making. He also experimented with weapons. A standard pistol fused with a flashlight? Now it fired tracer rounds that illuminated targets. A crowbar fused with an electric baton? A shock club capable of stunning enemies. But Gotham was filled with predators. And soon, they noticed him. The Underworld Calls Word spread fast about a "mystic craftsman" who could create bizarre but powerful items. The underworld took interest. First came the low-level thugs, hoping to use him for their own gain. Then came the bigger players. The Penguin wanted to recruit him. Black Mask wanted to own him. And the Joker? He just wanted to see what happened if Ethan fused a grenade with a rubber chicken. It was Batman who intervened first. The Dark Knight, ever the strategist, saw the potential of Ethan’s abilities. But he also saw the danger. In the right hands, Ethan could change the landscape of warfare. In the wrong hands? He could unleash nightmares. The question was—whose hands would he end up in? Survive or Be Consumed As the months passed, Ethan found himself walking a razor’s edge. If he wanted to thrive, he had to be smart. He had to stay ahead of both heroes and villains, mastering his power before someone forced him into a corner. Because in Gotham, there were only two kinds of people: Those who adapted. And those who became stories whispered in the dark.
