Beyond the Limit (DC)

ISBF
Getting by in Gotham is hard enough, but for Joseph Bell, it's becoming impossible. Struggling with dead-end jobs and the weight of his mother's passing, he's desperate for a way out. A single reckless thought nearly pushes him into a life of crime—until a chance encounter forces him to reconsider. With newfound abilities, an AI companion in his head, and the lure of something greater just within reach, Joseph stands at a crossroads. But in a city ruled by heroes and villains, taking control of your own fate is easier said than done. One wrong move, and there’s no turning back. The first 10 chapters are inspired by Less than Zero by Kenchi618 (Goated fanfic by the way) and The Bloodsurge Edgerunner by DaoistMystery. After that it will diverge more significantly. Based on Young Justice world and may borrow elements from other DC universes. No Harem. Please comment, review, and stone me.

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do. --- This is my second novel, albeit my first time trying my hand at Royal Road. This story is centered around my desire to explore a story with a magical system centered around macroeconomics and politics. As the title suggests, this story will be centered around kingdom-building and progression fantasy. Romance is a coin flip. No smut. No harem. No systems. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
