Project Sovereign

Max Hall's life is a collection of missing pieces. His parents, vanished. His girlfriend, gone without a word. His own future, a casualty of mediocrity and grief. He's not living; he's just waiting for the end credits. The story changes on a day like any other. A glitch in his vision. A shimmering, holographic interface materializes, offering an absurd proposition: skills, talents, genius... for cash. It's the kind of thing you'd see in a bad video game, an insultingly simple solution to a life of complex pain. On a desperate whim, he cashes in his last few dollars for a shot. A beginner's talent in financial analysis. Suddenly, the chaotic noise of the stock market becomes a symphony he can conduct. A few dollars become a fortune. A fortune becomes an empire. In a rush of stolen knowledge, he masters sciences, arts, and industries overnight. The world sees a titan, a phantom prodigy rewriting the rules of success. But Max sees only a means to an end. The wealth isn't for a life of luxury. It's for an investigation on a scale no government could sanction, a private war against the silence that swallowed his life. He's pulling at the threads of a simple missing persons case, but what begins to unravel is a conspiracy that defies logic. The clues lead him away from cold cases and towards impossible artifacts. They hint at forgotten histories and fringe sciences that shouldn't work, but do. He realizes he isn't just looking for a kidnapper. He's on a collision course with a truth that will not only explain what happened to his family, but will rewrite the rules of reality itself. And the System, his ticket out of mediocrity, might just be the most terrifying clue of all.

The Scion of Ruin

Heaven-Defying Asura Li Shen is nothing more than a slave, despised and broken, a mere handyman in the prestigious Azure Cloud Sect. Unknown to all, he carries the cursed blood of the annihilated Heaven Destruction Clan, a lineage whose three patriarchs once dared to defy Heaven's Will. This forbidden heritage manifests as the Heaven Asura Destruction Body, a dormant power that renders him seemingly talentless in Qi Cultivation, constantly suppressed by the very essence of the world. His only path to power, and to full awakening, lies in the brutal consumption of demon-corrupted cultivators, whose blood feeds his unique constitution. When his former masters, the Blackwood Noble Clan, are decimated by a savage raid of these demon-corrupted forces, Li Shen, in a desperate struggle for survival, slays his first corrupted foe. This act triggers the faint stirrings of his terrifying potential, pushing him from victim to survivor. Rescued by the Azure Cloud Sect, he endures the scorn of the Handyman Elder Guo and the cosmic hindrance of Heaven Suppression, secretly honing his Blade Cultivation – the only path where his innate talent can flourish. His desperate goals are clear: achieve power for survival, exact revenge for his clan's downfall, gain recognition in a world that despises him, and, most crucially, procreate to ensure the continuation of his unique, heaven-defying bloodline. Li Shen's opportunity arises when he heroically saves the Grand Elder of the Outer Court, elevating him to an Outer Disciple and granting him access to the crucial "demon cleansing missions." Through these perilous missions, he ruthlessly hunts and absorbs the blood of countless demon-corrupted cultivators, rapidly awakening his Heaven Asura Destruction Body. His cultivation explodes, allowing him to easily comprehend Dao and identify the flaws in any technique, making him an unstoppable force. His ascent, however, is not without cost. Forced to flee the ruins of his temporary home, Li Shen finds himself thrust into the chaotic expanse of the Immortal Realm, where the true scale of the cosmic conflict is revealed. Here, he discovers the existence of the Heaven Will Judgment Clan, the enforcers of Heaven's dictates, who were directly responsible for the annihilation of his ancestors and now seek to finish off his bloodline. He also finds himself embroiled in a grand struggle against a powerful Demon Sovereign, whose influence spans realms and whose forces represent the very beings Li Shen has been consuming. His journey becomes a furious quest to not only survive and exact revenge on his oppressors but to challenge the very fabric of cosmic law. He cultivates beyond the known limits, pushing his Heaven Asura Destruction Body to its peak, defying all odds. In a climactic, realm-shattering confrontation, Li Shen, alongside his descendants – born from his desperate drive to procreate and imbued with his unique heritage – wages war against the Heaven Will Judgment Clan and clashes with the Demon Sovereign. In the end, Li Shen and his burgeoning Heaven Asura Destruction Clan triumph. The Heaven Will Judgment Clan is utterly annihilated, their reign ended, and the oppressive grasp of Heaven's Will is shattered. The world, no longer bound by cosmic tyranny, shifts, and a new era dawns, one where the Heaven Asura Destruction Clan reigns supreme, its legacy forged in blood, defiance, and the ultimate triumph over fate.

A PROGENITOR'S SEED

In a world ruled by the iron fist of cultivation, where vast Holy Lands dictate the fate of continents and power flows through a rigid hierarchy of Dynasties and Empires, the Mo Clan is but a forgotten ember. Living precariously on the outskirts of Pinecreek Town, Mo Li, a father burdened by responsibility and limited to Body Refinement 5th Stage, faces a desperate race against time. His four quadruplet children, Mo Feng, Mo Lei, Mo Yue, and Mo Xuan—each distinct in personality yet bound by shared hardship—are just two years from their 11th birthday, the pivotal age for Martial Soul Awakening. Their survival, and the clan's very existence, hinges on Mo Li's ability to secure rare Martial Beasts whose essence-saturated blood will ignite their latent potential. A chance encounter with Han Ling, a benevolent noble from the powerful Han Clan, offers a lifeline: a mission to gather common herbs in exchange for access to the city's Beast Forest and precious Spirit Stones. This opportunity propels Mo Li into a grueling two-year crucible. He battles beasts many stages his superior, suffering heavy wounds and forced retreats, yet forging himself through sheer will and a breakthrough to Body Building 1st Stage. He secures three of the four vital Martial Beasts, all while preparing his children for the awakening and enduring the terrifying yearly beast surges from the forest. As the quadruplets' birthday dawns, the pressure mounts for the final, most dangerous hunt. Their individual Martial Souls—unique spiritual manifestations dictating their cultivation paths and innate abilities—will soon be revealed, shaping their destinies within the Mo Clan's desperate struggle. From this humble, nearly extinguished beginning, The Progenitor's Seed chronicles the Mo Clan's epic journey. Driven by unwavering familial bonds, they will defy the rigid power structures, navigate treacherous political landscapes, and overcome overwhelming odds, sowing the seeds of a new legacy as they strive to ascend from the mire and become the strongest clan the world has ever known.

Marvel: Shadow Monarch

Lucien Reynolds found himself in the Marvel world after Wanda stripped the powers of majority of the Mutant population. With the sudden reduction in the mutant population , the world felt that the mutants were no longer a threat, so the remaining two hundred or so mutants were moved to a safe place. Fortunately for Lucien, he kept his mutation, but unfortunately for him, he was taken into a research facility, where he found himself trapped until one day he was chosen to be the next Shadow Monarch. ............ Author's Promises: This won't be a usual Marvel Fanfic. I have taken some of the best storylines the Marvel Comics had to offer and I have done soo much world building that everything would be aligned and would make perfect sense as the story goes on. I will not be adding much multiverse stuff in this fanfic, cause one wrong chapter and the story is ruined. Though there will be a few instances and references. There will be some strong entities that will be used in this fanfic, but nothing without logic that the comic writers sometimes pull like- "Oh there's a being that can erase planets with a snap of his fingers, has killed celestials! But he gets defeated by a street level hero! Cool Right?" , Nah, not cool. I will make sure the chapters remain of good quality and immersive. Current Aim for chapter publishing is to publish one chapter everyday. But I shall provide you at least five chapters/week at the very least even if I am busy. The starting setting of the fanfic is post M-Day event where Wanda strips powers of most mutants. I do not wish to spoil you much lest it ruins your experience, but here are three comic series whose events will unfold in my fic. -Civil War 1(Not the MCU version but rather the comic series one which was on a bigger scale) -The War of the Realms -King in Black I hope....no, I am sure you will fall in love with the amazing fanfiction I am providing you, so Enjoy!
