PROJECT ALPHA

AKATTSUKU
In a world devastated by the Great War, where governments have collapsed and nations fight for dominance, the Novare Organization rises to govern the fractured lands. Tasked with maintaining order until a leader is chosen to ascend the legendary Mighty Chair, Novare holds the fragile balance of power in its hands. Yoto, a brilliant but physically weaker member of Commander Hataki’s elite squad, dreams of protecting his teammates, who have become his only family since his orphaned childhood. However, his resolve is shattered when his powers fail to awaken during the squad’s Awakening Ceremony, leaving him to grapple with despair and self-doubt. Everything changes when Yoto unexpectedly unlocks a mysterious and otherworldly power that defies human understanding. This development catches the attention of President Genta, the enigmatic and calculating leader of Novare, who seems to have an unsettling interest in Yoto’s potential. Unbeknownst to Yoto, a masked figure, an ally of Commander Hataki, has been silently protecting him from the shadows. As Yoto struggles to control his newfound abilities, he is drawn into a web of secrets surrounding the true cause of the Great War, the purpose of the Mighty Chair, and Genta’s ultimate ambitions. With forces beyond human comprehension in play, Yoto must confront his doubts, uncover the truth, and determine if Genta is a savior or a threat. As the line between mortals and gods blurs, Yoto’s awakening may hold the key to humanity’s survival—or its destruction.

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.
