While attending the 2038 annual Juneteenth march with her friends, activist and archivist Amina Fernandes witnesses a devastating terrorist attack using a mysterious technology that leaves dozens of police officers dead and injured. As the local Black community suffers under the resulting occupation by a federal taskforce seeking to apprehend the terrorist, Amina stumbles onto evidence that the attack might have been a false flag. ... more>>

Horrified by the implication of this information and wanting to live up to legacy of Black radicals she's idolized all her life, Amina decides to do something about this seeming conspiracy and protect her community. Assembling friends and allies to aid her plan, Amina acts to uncover whatever plot is brewing in her city. What she doesn't know is that her need for answers and justice will spark a series of events that will change everything and test how far she's willing to go to live up to her revolutionary values.

Quiet, reserved, and relatively enjoying his life.... more>>

Kane wasn't really happy when he woke up with a new name, a new face, and to a whole new world.

A world with one big continent, a place where cities are named A through Z, and also where bizarre things happen so often he has no idea how the world hasn’t completely fallen into ruin yet.

Also, things like monsters, evil scientists, giants, zombies, undead lichs, psychics, superheroes, supervillains, cyborgs, and anything else he could think of are a common sight.

And unfortunately as well, most of those things seem to be trying their best to kill him outright or cause mass destruction.

Annoyingly, since he now lives here, he doesn't really have much of a choice but to intervene in hopes of ensuring that he and everyone else in this crazy world can maybe live to see tomorrow.

Thankfully, though much to his utter confusion, he has awakened something called The Ultimate Gacha System. And although it might be a big help to him in his coming battles, it is rather perplexing that the things his system gives him are from animes, shows, games, or movies he has next to no knowledge of…

Despite this, Kane—now Kanagawa—hopes he can achieve some semblance of control while becoming someone he can be proud of in this perilous world.

To start, the Hero Association doesn't sound too bad, because honestly, Kanagawa could easily assume a place where heroes gather couldn’t be completely full of insane people right?

Right?

Great.

[Warning! Small harem of two girls(who they are is pretty obvious), and also Saitama is not in this world because without him, the story will be way more interesting action wise since well, things wont go down in one punch.] <<less

Tony Stark. Iron Man. Father. Son. Hero. However, before a certain life changing event, he was a playboy and narcissist. But what if he was killed in the ambush. What if whatever power that brought him back somehow let him gain the memories of a random person from a universe where he was simply a work of fiction.... more>>

A world where a man named Andrew Gardener, died in his sleep, and now found himself in another world, one that hadn’t been half destroyed like his own.

How far would you go if it meant saving billions.

Dear Readers,... more>>

I am reaching out to provide an important update regarding my novel, "Where To Reach." After thorough reflection, I have decided to embark on a significant restructuring of the story. This decision arises from my concerns about the current narrative's sluggish pace, disrupted pacing, and the lack of meaningful involvement of the main character. As part of this process, I may also consider more substantial changes, such as redesigning the main character, even changing the title or eliminating certain locations from the storyline. But roughly everything should stay the same. I have always struggled with beginning a story so I assure you this is a one off occurrence. Because of this I shall be also deleting everything here and reuploading it as another novel on my profile. When i have the title written I will post it under announcements and leave this novel up for a few more weeks before taking it down. <<less

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. ... more>>

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn’t just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that’s just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss’s daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren’t just masks—some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away?

If you’re a fan of Cyborg, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, or Batman Beyond, then you don’t want to miss this series!

To the Creshe Empire, I’m just a number.... more>>

I’ve spent the past five years in isolation and under study. With my home razed by a Syldrari attack, my mind damaged, and nothing but white walls and a viewing window around me, I dedicated myself to two things: training my body, and reading any book they allowed me to have.

The Empire wants me to serve, to use the inhuman power the Incident stirred within me. Technically, they asked, but it wasn’t much of a choice. It never is. Serve, or… I refused to be a mindless slave. My life was taken from me once. Never again.

With the Empire moving forward with their xenophobic plans, they needed someone capable of killing Syldrari—and I was just that. A tool they could use, a tool they thought they could manipulate. Needing me was their first mistake. They gave me leverage, I named my terms.

Now, after five years, my life can begin. <<less

You might think that in the twenty-third century, after having reached the stars and expanded their reach across countless horizons, humanity would have grown past all of their squabbles and primitive greed. Technology has put what was once incomprehensible within the reach of any citizen. Food can be printed as easy as paper was in centuries past with housing nearly as simple, healthcare is as easy as a simple puff from an inhalant or a new body part from the biotanks, and yet corporations still lock it all behind paywalls. ... more>>

The life of a space-faring scavenger may not be much, but maybe it will one day finally push me to the gate towards a better life. <<less
