Dreams.
I never thought much about them.
Mostly for the point that I could never remember any of mine.
And the bits and pieces that remain would never make sense.
This is what dreams are like after all.
Just some random mix, thrown together by an unstable mind to get over the stuff which bothered one during the day.
At least that's what I thought.
Until they turned against me.
Twisted everything I knew and turned my whole existence into a nightmare.
But the thing is...... more>>

It's mine. <<less

⚠️ 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.

For what reason might one have for wanting to step onto the center stage? Glory, perhaps? Riches—a possibility. Power—unnecessary. For Blythe, none served well. The scent of honey, while enticing to bears, often remains second when compared to the sweet, sweet taste of meat. ... more>>

Blythe was like a bear, in that sense. As the Drifting Trickster, they were averse to the idea of using their powers for material gains. Thousands of faces they possessed, yet not one of them could ever truly grant their dream. When one reaches the top, it is common to find naught but loneliness.

This story follows a certain trickster’s journey across the world as they meet countless new faces, with the goal of one day finding for themself a reason to once again return to the spotlight they once danced upon. <<less

Walter's having a real bad day. His normal life's been turned upside down and he finds himself in a situation right out of his nightmares. But Walter's always able to find the good and bad in every situation.... more>>

The Good: The human race was judged worthy of Ascension, and can obtain powers beyond comprehension by completing Trials as an Aspirant.

The Bad: The Trials are run by otherworldly abominations who view humanity as little more than amusing playthings.

The Good: Walter's been chosen by the Absolute Luck System and has infiltrated the Trials as a Lord Arbiter.

The Really Bad: Now he has to balance life as both an Aspirant and an Admin, and Walter's doomed if either side finds out he's not who he says he is.

Follow our unfortunate protagonist as he navigates this double life using his wits, smarts, and a little luck, and maybe he can survive long enough to become an Unwilling Eldritch Horror of Fortune.

When everything in existence suffers a change, or welcomes it, and what is to come has finally come - would it beget with its origination the terror, deathliness, tragedy, torment and devastation? Or would it, by any chance, differ from its authentic nature and reality?... more>>

In the deepest of the first starless dark blue night, its point of origin vastly different from the one where everything 'began'... a beautiful hand reaches to taint the most fearsome. Would its origin bring chaos to it all?
--- *** ---

What are the words that hold the utmost power? What are the thoughts that break it all? Which are those who shine brightest, gloom darker, and explode defiantly against reality who prevail?

Any lifeform of the world, no matter how advanced and evolved; all become subject to terror for the very same ones:

One, afraid of the dark. Two, of the violent forces of Nature. Three, of Injustice.

It's not about having the reason on your side; it's not about having the power to demand for subservience and is not whether one is right or not... It's about taking it all with your own hands!

No darkness is gloom without light to obverse it; no light shines brighter without endless emptiness. But it is only one that is; only that has been; only one that can; that will; that KNOWS.

One little grain of sand can evolve into a dried-up sea; one little animal can become a monster; one sole thought can become reality... But can any of them regress, lose it all, suffer nonsensically, and beget — 'all that exists and there is'?

Would they be willing to? ...Can they do it? ...Do they understand?

---
Synopsis for dummies:

Born in a world where every imaginable thing is so advanced even the earth one can step on moves and thinks, met with the pureness of nature at birth, and touched by the unimaginable.

To see the future is for fools. To long for the past is too late. But to see ahead is the only road.

What might be a long and arduous lifelong objective for one can be a simple step for others. What others can't see might be sensed by someone else. And to walk as one never betrays themselves... is glory.

When the bells ring, the heavens change, the world trembles, and a change is called upon... Will there finally be that something that has been missing? What the world had lacked all this long? What... the world deserves? Will a person change that? Will they do it all alone, terribly consumed in coldness and leaving horrors wherever that person walks? Or will there be a returning change that the world has even forgotten for... ever?

Even the smallest of rebellions and uprisings... can be the start of everything.

She was no more than an ordinary man who fell into an unordinary circumstance. Suddenly appearing in a place called the Nexus in a different world from Earth had left him... er... HER curious about what this newfound world is all about.

When your heritage as a dragon is the least of the secrets kept from you, danger and adventure are close at hand.... more>>

Drenar and his best friend Julia found a magical creature bestiary that revealed a startling truth: they're Awakening into their draconic forms, and their latent powers tied to it are slowly kicking in. While grappling with this revelation, a mage insurrectionist organization responsible for their changes rears its head, tries to coerce them to help them tear down the current mage government, and threatens both worlds of consequence.

Those rebels made a BIG mistake, threatening a bunch of teenage dragons who don't want their world to fall to pieces. They band together, along with others they find along the way and forge their own path to defend the world against the rising evil of the Talons and their leaders. Foes that include the deadly and enigmatic CEO Valosterla, a maniacal dragoness who sings as she slaughters her enemies.

Prepare for a journey of daring heroes fighting for what's right, while they shine a light to guide the way...Witness the rise of the Luminaires!

What to expect: A coming-of-age fantasy story of daring heroes fighting to save the world. The characters are the heart of the story, from dragons, to Kitsune, and more.

Rating warning: PG-13. There's some language, violence, and some content that might not be for everyone (trauma, grief, and others do get touched on). Heavy chapters will be noted, so there will be fair warning.

Sacrificed as a child along with her family by demonic cultists, Reimia lives out a cycle of tragedy, survival, and revenge.... more>>

On her path to revenge, Rei fails over and over, dying to then be reborn in different times and places, gaining allies and advantages with each cycle... Only to lose them to the cruelty of time. Because all things die... Except her and the man who started it all.

-------------------------------------------------------------

- What to expect:
- Shadowbane is a long story about revenge.
- Reimia is very weak at the start.
- First person POV. I know some people don't like this, so here is your warning.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the pinnacle of a Xianxia Cultivation Story appears in the middle of a post-apocalyptic system and tower climbing setting, without having lost her powers, unrestrained, and invincible?... more>>

Murim, a world of Martial Arts, Cultivation, Brutal Violence, Bloodshed, Vengeance, and where Might Makes Right.

Bing Xue spent eleven thousand years in such a world, ascending to become the pinnacle after countless hardships, blood, tears, and sacrificing her own humanity in the process.

However, she was incapable of ascending into the Immemorial Primordial Void Realm; incapable of escaping the Heavenly Will's influence, she gambled it all on a single decision, escaping into the Outer Cosmos with her last remaining energies.

Despite thinking her long journey was coming to an end, a black hole teleports her back to Earth out of nowhere! However, things on her home planet are much different than before.

The Tower now exists, connecting Earth with countless other worlds. Monsters come out of Dimensional Gates, threatening humanity, and awakened people named Players climb the Tower in hopes of saving humanity from destruction.

After learning that her mother and her sister are still alive, Bing Xue will use the overwhelming and supreme might she has cultivated for eleven thousand years to destroy the tower, slay the gods that govern it, and save Earth from its untimely demise.

The System? She will fold it and make a fashionable scarf with it!

The Administrators? They might become her new pets.

The Monsters? Nothing but ants that die immediately by merely touching her Immortal Aura.

The Hunters? If they behave, she might make them her disciples and teach them to cultivate the Heavenly Dao, so they don’t rely too much on the System.

The Hostile Players? Just flies she’ll slap to death with a gentle wave of her hands.

And the Gods? Merely aperitives for her ever-growing Divinity!

What to expect:
-OP Returnee from a Xianxia World, she doesn't lose any of her powers. Expect little to no stakes, just awesome showcases of power and a main character that constantly breaks all rules established.
-An active main character which will be the main focus and point of view. I dislike passive main characters and I won't give focus to random side characters for dozens of chapters like other OP MC stories do. But there will still be a big cast of colorful characters that will give life to the world, or worlds.
-She will be a prideful, arrogant, and ruthless cultivator at the beginning, and will slowly mellow down once she gets used to how Earth society works. However, she takes pride on her own strength and her acomplishments. Though, her love for the people important to her is boundless.
-Despite being so strong, she still desires to grow stronger. Our main character will continue cultivating and using the new powers she finds to her advantage. Basic LitRPG Progression combined with Cultivation of the Heavenly Dao and all of that.
-Lots of God Slaying.
-Ultimately, I am writing this story for my own amusement and fun, so please don't feel offended if something happens that you dislike. I am not writing this story for anybody or for any audience.
-Chapters almost every day.

Noah and his friends are transported to another world in a severely flawed summoning ritual, and are consequently significantly weaker than what they should have been.

And yet, they defy all odds, and still manage to seemingly defeat all demons and find themselves confronting the Demon Lord.
