BLOOD STEAM

DARK_TREND
Christopher Jackson knew every way a man could break. As Hollywood’s most renowned fight choreographer, he had spent a lifetime orchestrating fake violence. But the concrete waiting at the bottom of a forty-story drop was terrifyingly real. When a rooftop stunt goes catastrophically wrong, Christopher’s life ends on the pavement—only to violently restart in the suffocating darkness of a cargo hold. He awakes not to the glitz of Los Angeles, but to the soot-choked reality of an alternate 1940s steampunk world, occupying a body that was already supposed to be dead. He is now Alfeo Senza, the illegitimate, discarded son of Noralli’s most ruthless mafia family. Betrayed by his own blood, Alfeo had been murdered and dumped on a steamship bound for New Angles, the glittering, class-divided capital of the continent. But waking up alive does not mean he is free. The Senza name is a death sentence, a cursed legacy that refuses to stay buried. The syndicates of the old world are already hunting the ghost of a boy who shouldn't be breathing. Realizing that running from the underworld is impossible, Christopher makes a brutal choice: he will conquer it. Shedding his doomed identity, he rechristens himself **Crista Ferro**. Starting from the absolute bottom of the rotting slums of New Angles, armed with a master martial artist's mind and a mysterious, otherworldly power known only as the "Great Boss System," Crista begins his bloody ascent. He will no longer choreograph fake battles. He is going to forge a very real underworld empire of iron, steam, and blood, crushing anyone who stands in his way.

My Hive Mind System: Rise of The Nuxali

Alexander was an ordinary game developer—overworked, overlooked, and forgotten. His latest project was meant to be nothing more than code: a hive-minded alien race driven by endless hunger, evolution, and ruthless survival. Then he woke up in an unfamiliar world, as a member of the very race he had created. Reborn as a Nuxali, a hive species ruled by queens and bound by genetic assimilation, Alexander finds himself trapped within the system he designed. Weak, small, and powerless within his mother’s swarm, he must survive under the iron will of a cruel Queen and adapt to a body that feeds, evolves, and dominates through consumption. This world does not reward mercy. Cannibalism is the path to survival. Evolution is law. And obedience is enforced through pain. Yet Alexander possesses something no other Nuxali has: a human mind capable of understanding the rules of evolution, the limits of biology, and the hidden potential of the system governing their existence. As alien suns rise over savage savannas and the swarm grows stronger through blood and biomass, Alexander begins his silent ascent. He will endure. He will learn. He will evolve. And when the day comes that he no longer needs to bow— The hive will change forever. What You Can Expect A hive species that does not evolve from insects (they are a panther-like species) Multiple intelligent life forms on the planet A system that does not grant power, but allows you to observe and measure progression Carefully designed, not easy evolution Civilization building Posting Schedule 5-6 new chapters each week on patreon.
