I Woke Up in Marvel But My System Refuses to Carry Me

He died nobody. He woke up as nobody. No golden finger. No cheat stats. No kind system that hands out free levels for killing slimes. Alexei Vetrov, failed delivery courier, beat half to death in a Bronx alleyway — opens his eyes in a body that isn't his, in a world he recognizes with dawning, gut-dropping horror. The Marvel Universe. And the clock is already ticking toward Thanos's Snap. His System has one rule: **earn it or DIE.** No quests. No dungeons. No free gifts for new users. The Development System tracks real growth — genuine physical conditioning, true overcoming of limits — and awards its currency, Will Points, only for achievements that cost something real. Push yourself past the edge? Maybe you get a point. Repeat the same feat tomorrow? Nothing. The bar rises with you, always just out of reach, always demanding more. In a world of gods, supersoldiers, ancient sorcerers, and creatures that could level a city block, Alexei starts with: - Strength: 3 - Agility: 4 - Endurance: 3 - Perception: 5 - Will Points: 0 And an apartment so grim even the cockroaches had standards. What follows is not a power fantasy. It is something rarer — the story of a man who claws his way upward through sweat, blood, broken bones, and ice-cold showers, forging himself into something the universe didn't plan for. From the back alleys of New York to the training halls of SHIELD's black sites. From the brutal tutelage of a legendary mercenary to the hidden dimension of Ta Lo and the ancient mystery of qi. From a nobody who almost got flattened by a car during a Hulk fight to someone that Nick Fury, Tony Stark, and Natasha Romanoff cannot quite figure out how to file away. He knows the plot. He knows who dies, who betrays who, and what's coming on a cosmic scale. What he doesn't know is whether any of it can be changed — or whether knowing the future just means watching it happen with perfect clarity. **The system doesn't make you stronger. It just ensures you never lose what you bled for.** The rest is up to you. *Tags: System, Marvel, Slow Progression, Realistic Training, No Easy Path, SHIELD, Avengers Adjacent, Cultivation Elements, Hard Work Beats Talent (Eventually), Philosophical MC, Male Lead, Gradual Powerup, No Harem (For Now)*

Ang Lihim ng Araw: The Sunstone Chronicles

Seventeen-year-old Mateo Reyes has always trusted logic. Patterns make sense. History has answers. Mysteries can be solved. Until one leads straight to him. Hidden within the ancient walls of Intramuros, Mateo uncovers a relic known as the Sunstone—a forgotten artifact etched with Baybayin, tied to a past that was never meant to be remembered. What begins as a puzzle quickly becomes a journey across the Philippines, as Mateo and his fearless best friend Lila follow a trail of riddles buried in history itself. From the shadowed bells of Balangiga to the shifting rivers of Butuan and the sacred heights of the Cordillera, each clue reveals something impossible: The islands were never separate. They were part of a hidden network—built by ancient Filipinos to protect their identity before it could be erased. But someone else has been searching longer. A secret organization known as the Watchers will stop at nothing to claim the network and control the truth. And at their center is a man who doesn’t just want the past— He wants to decide who deserves it. As the puzzles grow more dangerous, Mateo realizes something even more unsettling: The clues aren’t guiding him. They’re judging him. Because this was never just a mystery. It was a test. And Mateo Reyes was chosen to take it. Now, with the final secret within reach and the Watchers closing in, Mateo must make a choice no logic can solve: Hide the truth. Control it. Or trust the world with it. Because in the end, history isn’t just something you discover— It’s something you prove you deserve.

To Love-Ru: The Omnitrix Chronicles

Akira was an adventurer fascinated by the world’s mysteries, but his life took an unexpected turn when he stumbled upon an ancient bracelet in the ruins of a lost civilization. Before he could react, a mysterious "God" transported him to an entirely new universe—the chaotic and romantic world of To Love-Ru. Now in the body of a high school student, Akira quickly realizes he hasn’t arrived empty-handed. On his wrist is the Omnitrix, the ultimate weapon that grants him unfathomable power. With the ability to transform into powerful aliens and an unyielding determination, he sets his sights on two ultimate goals: becoming the strongest being in the To Love-Ru universe… and winning the hearts of every heroine and sub-heroine along the way! From the energetic and playful Lala to the cold and deadly Yami, from the cunning Momo to the fiery-tempered Yui, Akira will face not only cosmic threats and impossible challenges but also the most outrageous romantic entanglements. Can he master the Omnitrix’s power and carve out a future where love and strength go hand in hand? In a universe full of beauty, danger, and limitless possibilities, Akira won’t settle for anything less than the very top. The cover is created by an IA so it's mine. Things to expect from this fic: 1 - A completely new To Love-Ru story (only the beginning will be similar). 2 - This fic is much more serious than the original To Love-Ru. 3 - No Yuri. 4 - No Netorare. 5 - Netori. 6 - A protagonist who gradually becomes OP. 7 - Much more developed relationships. 8 - The heroines won’t fall in love with the protagonist instantly—except for a select few. 9 - The protagonist is kind to his women but ruthless toward anyone who tries to harm them or himself. 10 - Chapters will be between 1,600 and 1,900 words. 11 - Updates every 2 to 3 days due to limited time. 12 - Only the firsts time of each girl will be describe (I mean sex), the next ones will be mentioned but no described (except for special chapters such as an Oyakodon) 13 - I'll update the list if I remember something important.
