Urban Ascension: The Last Heir of Heaven

Kaida1Ren1
Jin Hao is just another nobody in the sprawling megacity of Neo-Aurion, where power rules everything—and everyone. By day, he’s a cleaner at a shady underground auction house, scraping together enough credits to survive. By night, he dreams of something more… though he never imagined “more” would involve getting branded by a mysterious jade pendant and unlocking a System that screams **“Heir of Heaven’s Flame detected.”** Suddenly, Jin Hao isn’t invisible anymore. The artifact marks him as the last heir to a bloodline erased a century ago—a bloodline feared by the hidden clans and sects that pull the strings of the modern world. Now, CEOs are cultivators, politicians moonlight as sect leaders, and corporate empires rise or fall based on secret duels fought in shadowy arenas. And Jin Hao? He’s public enemy number one. Armed with forbidden techniques, ancestral memories, and terrifying new abilities unlocked through the *Heaven’s Wrath System*, Jin Hao steps into this cutthroat world of cultivation and conspiracy. But survival won’t be easy—not when powerful enemies are gunning for him, arrogant young masters see him as an insect to crush, and even allies might have ulterior motives. From dodging assassins sent by ancient clans to slapping down entitled rich kids who think their money makes them untouchable, Jin Hao learns quickly: in this world, strength speaks louder than words. With his sharp tongue, ruthless instincts, and growing mastery over Qi, he climbs the ladder of power one face-slap at a time. But revenge isn’t his only goal. As Jin Hao uncovers the truth about his family’s downfall—and the dark secrets behind the world’s hidden hierarchy—he realizes there’s more at stake than just settling old scores. This is about taking back what was stolen—not just for himself, but for everyone crushed underfoot by those who hoard power.

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.
