⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ ... more>>

There are violent scenes and other disturbing scenes in this fic. As I've already warned you, don't whine if you don't like what you read. _________________________________________

Upon awaking in the Marvel Universe as Bruce Banner, Budi wanted to lead a tranquil and easy life. His aspirations are dashed when he sees the news reporting on how hated mutants are around the world. Then he understands that he needs to be strong enough to make his opponents fearful of him in order to enjoy a lazy life.

His system is broken. How will he fix it?

Hulk was also pulled back by his beloved father (TOBA). Can Budi, or what we now know as Bruce, survive there?

If the world rejected his presence, all he needed to do was look for a new world.

.

This story will move slowly, if you are looking for an MC who can explode stars in chapter one, this is not for you. Chapters 1-45 will be a journey to find a way to freedom, maybe you can't wait for that, you can just skip chapter to 45.

One more thing! The grammar of this fic may feel bad to the point of being terrible. I think it's natural, because I'm not a Westerner but Asian people. So, if anyone complains about my bad grammar, here's my excuse. 

I know that my grammar is bad, that's why I try to make interesting plots and storylines as compensation to you readers.

As everyone's attention shifted to the clock, its hands inching towards 12, a sudden and unexpected darkness swept over the room. A strange, otherworldly voice echoed through the engulfing shadows, "This will be fun."... more>>

And in that moment, everything changed.

...

"Let's see, for you... what about a game of chess?" the skeleton proposed, its voice a strange blend of ageless wisdom and playful mischief.

...

"The world is filled with uncertainties and choices," the skeleton began, its voice echoing softly in the void. "They intertwine in a beautiful, complex way – not entirely random, but not predetermined either. You're not completely free, yet not entirely a prisoner. To simplify... or perhaps complicate things, I'm setting you humans in a game. A vast game, by your standards. The 'why' of this game is for you to uncover, as is its objective."

...

“You’ve pondered it, but the true scope of this Game is beyond your wildest imagination…” A brief pause punctuated its point, “You are simply too limited in your current state to grasp its magnitude,” it continued. “No matter what strategy you devise, what concept you conjure, or what combination you dream up, anything within the realm of human creation or conception, even with your stats boosted a thousandfold, will not even remotely approach the complexity of the Game.”

...

"Your efforts may finally prove beneficial, Alice," her mother continued, her tone shifting as she broached a subject heavy with implications. "We have received an offer of marriage on your behalf. Richard, the Count's second son, has shown interest."

...

In the quiet, she schemed, her influence extending unseen through whispered words and carefully planted ideas. Her musings occasionally ventured to whether it was sight that rendered others so blissfully unaware of the deeper currents of life, or if she, endowed with an extraordinary mind amidst her physical limitations, was an anomaly in a world too shallow to fathom her depths.

...

Maybe, just maybe, her times of boredom were over.

...

Did the fact he didn't fight on the front lines mean he was a coward? The reality was he really wished he could. How could he not crave the adrenaline of wielding superhuman strength, of shouting as he faced insurmountable odds? He wished he had magic, he wished he could level up and be respected by friends and foes alike. He wished for it a lot. Fuck, he wished he still had his other eye and his arm. But reality was cruel; he was dealt a bad hand and had to make the most of it. He made his choices, his sacrifices, for the best outcome.

What's in store with “A Tale of Fate, Choices & Summons, Vol. 1: The Summoner’s Gambit"?

-Heavy on game elements and progression.
-A slow burn with precise conciseness throughout the story.
-Multiple POVs with two main characters.
-A new concept for a necromancer... sorry, an undead summoner like you've never seen!
-Laughs, because who doesn't need a giggle?
-Characters that grow on you, literally.
-Enlightenment typical of the wuxia-style.
-Kingdom management.

Sero Kassel’s life was mediocre. A college drop-out with a dead-end job, he had no motivation. Well, until the apocalypse suddenly happens. That's when surviving seemed like a pretty good motivator.... more>>

Unfortunately, Sero is immediately killed within seconds of the apocalypse starting.

In a stroke of luck, a chance meeting with a goddess grants him a second chance at life. On paper, it seems like things were looking up for Sero. But for some reason, he finds himself back on Earth a year later after his death. What's worse: his class is completely lame.

Stuck in a class he feels unsuited for, starting a year behind everyone else, and guided by an incompetent goddess, can Sero manage to turn his life around in this new world? Or will he resign himself to a life of mediocrity?

After the alarms, sirens and nuclear warnings, Kai wakes up in an empty white room. With no idea what to do, he just waits for anything to happen...hoping something will happen. Only when the voice of...something... breaks him out of the monotonous life of the white room, he realises the problems he will have to face just to survive.... more>>

All these broken shards of memories barely make sense, but they all seem to be part of the same picture, like the shattered moon in the sky.

Lena(now Lava), whom accepted an early death, is now fated to live the longest!... more>>

After losing her mother, Lava was taken into a human orphanage and finds a new family to care for.

Threatened by the pending demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom funded orphanages to squeeze every unknown talent from its citizens.

Lava must now deal with those that want to use her power for their own gain.
Having strength doesn't make you invincible, no matter how strong you are, those you care about will always be your weakness.
Reality can be dark, and not everything will just fall into place perfectly.

Just so you know, this is focused on being 'realistic', plot armor will not bail the MC out and MC is not immune to being a pawn. I expressly wanted to avoid nonsense like an MC saving someone that just happens to be important.
As such, I don't have a problem with getting dark, reality is dark, sometimes you can't expect everything to just work out.

--
Keep in mind this is my first ever attempt at writing.

The beginning chapters are really bad at pacing and description, and I did a lot of redundant stuff trying to come up with a way to drive plot. It wasn't until past ch.23 where a plot came to me.
That I rushed the first chapters and didn't give any backstory really came back to bite me later on. <<less

Trapped in the body of a peasant girl named Lile, a brilliant scientist from the future finds himself in a brutal medieval world filled with dark magic, warring factions, and sinister supernatural forces. As Lile, he must navigate the oppressive patriarchal society, contend with his abusive father Oisin, and uncover the truth behind his own mysterious origins.... more>>

Aided by the enigmatic vampire Dumitra and her seductive daughters Ioana and Virginia, Lile discovers he possesses powerful telekinetic abilities. But these gifts come at a terrible cost, as he is drawn into a cosmic conflict orchestrated by the alien entity Gwenhwyfar.

Torn between his desire for vengeance and a need to escape this nightmare realm, Lile must forge alliances with unlikely allies like the witch hunter Sean and the Viking healer Erik. As war looms and dark forces gather, Lile must learn to harness his awakened powers to protect those he cares for and uncover the truth of his own tragic past.

In this dark, gritty fantasy epic, a brilliant mind from the future is trapped in a medieval body, forced to confront the horrors of this primitive world while uncovering the cosmic machinations that led to his torment. Blending elements of historical fiction, supernatural horror, and science fiction, this tale explores themes of identity, power, and the cyclical nature of suffering. <<less

Allen is whisked away to another world after hugging a train a little too tight. He has the option to start fresh, go on an adventure, or maybe even settle down with his new elven family. This new world is full of potential but is hounded by the church of Askavan controlling the entire nation. What’s worse Allen or rather Sol, has no real potential and is thus a target of the church and could very well be erased in the future. He can train and hope to prevent that. Or at least that’s what he thought until a certain incident shook his very beliefs and forced him to accept that he is powerless to... more>> stop the church, he is powerless to protect the people he held dear.
Forced to retreat to Scalion Academy, Sol is given a choice to live. To survive. But instead, he chooses to start a cult. The cult of a fake god. At least that was supposed to be the case until one day… the god decided to pay him a visit.

Updates:
I have to slow down a bit at the moment as I want to be happy with the chapters before I give them to others to read. So please don't expect 4-5 chapters a week.

Dying should be as bad as it gets. But when Kanin's soul is snatched from its path to the afterlife to be bound to a bottle of ink, he's cast into a new world where his sole purpose is to perform a senile wizard’s yard work.... more>>

Determined to evade magical errands, upgrade his fragile body, and return home (preferably alive), Kanin teams up with an elf trapped in a toy octopus to find a way to break their spells. But a murderous void has been shadowing him from the start, and if he can't discover a way to defeat it soon, it threatens to consume him—mind, body, and soul.

What you can expect from this story:
- Queer heroes (the MC is a gay man, side characters include a lesbian, enby, ace)

This is a slow-burn isekai story about a young girl named Siya who was born with a weak body into a world that only cares about Strength. Because of this, she isn’t able to even use the only thing she has going for her, a knack for strategy, which is the last thing that the nation of meat heads seems to care about.

She faces many hardships and trials, struggling through abuse, grueling training, and seeing death around every turn. Despite all of this, she presses on, grasping at straws and using everything at her disposal to survive. Turning to devine favor, unique abilities, and even magic and dark magic later on, they each come with a new problem. As she finds unlikely friends, and deals with unthinkable betrayals, she struggles to finally stand tall and place herself in a position of power where her true abilities could finally shine.

This is NOT a revenge story, but that isn’t to say the main character magically forgives people either. <<less

Ramor-Tai monastery is the haven of the Wasteland - the place where heroic Cultivators can hone their skills through meditation and martial tournaments. For decades this place has stood as a bastion of humanity against the storms of war that threaten to engulf what remains of the world, though the Disciples of each Sect have agreed to a strict pact of non-interference with worldly affairs.

So when a man made of steel comes to knock at their doors one morning, he is met with shock and suspicion.

Jade-skinned beauties? Godlike powers? The ability to command the heavens themselves? These common dreams were not the desires of the machine-man. All he cared about was learning, understanding, and harnessing his Qi. All he wanted was an answer to the question: "Do I have a soul?"

His name was XJ-V. This is the tale of his legend.

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?
