Batman: Locked-In

In the blood-soaked darkness of Crime Alley, eight-year-old Bruce Wayne watches his world end. The gunshots echo. His parents fall. And in that moment of ultimate despair, something impossible happens—a soul from another reality crashes into his dying consciousness. Two minds. Two lifetimes. One body. The child's raw grief merges with an adult's strategic brilliance and meta-knowledge of the DC Universe. Bruce Wayne gains something no hero in this world has ever possessed: perfect awareness of what's coming. Every villain's origin. Every crisis. Every tragedy that will unfold across the years. But knowledge alone won't save Gotham. It won't stop Darkseid. It won't put him on equal footing with Superman or Wonder Woman. That's where the Lock-In System changes everything. **[LOCK-IN SYSTEM ACTIVATED]** A mysterious power awakens within him, granting three absolute advantages: First, intelligence enhanced to 2.5 times normal human capacity—a genius mind that will only grow sharper. Second, a Proficiency Panel that guarantees progress in any skill with dedicated effort—no talent required, no limits imposed, only inevitable mastery through work. Third, a Pocket Dimension offering an extra twenty-four hours every single day—time enough to train, study, and prepare while the rest of the world sleeps. Bruce Wayne will not become the broken, self-destructive Batman of the original timeline. He will not limit himself to peak human ability. He will not throw himself at gods and monsters with nothing but gadgets and grit. Instead, he'll take ten years to plan. To train. To acquire power through every possible means—technology, genetics, magic, and beyond. He'll manipulate timelines, recruit heroes before they fully form, and position himself not as Gotham's Dark Knight, but as Earth's unquestioned strategic leader. The Justice League will form. But this time, it will be built on his terms. His rise will be legendary. His power will rival gods. His control absolute. By the time Superman arrives. By the time Darkseid looks toward Earth. By the time the universe notices this backwater planet—Bruce Wayne will be ready. Not as Batman. As something far more dangerous. The only question remaining: How far can one man ascend when given infinite time, guaranteed progress, and perfect knowledge of what's coming? **Welcome to a DC Universe where Bruce Wayne refuses to play by the rules.** **Welcome to Batman: Locked-In.**

Flash Infinity

Barry Allen was supposed to be ordinary. A fresh college graduate working his first months as a CSI in Central City, living paycheck to paycheck in a cramped apartment, still haunted by the car crash that orphaned him as a child. That was the plan. A simple life. Then he woke up with memories that weren't his own. A DC fanboy from another world now inhabits Barry Allen's body, armed with knowledge of a future that hasn't happened yet and an understanding of a universe most people think is fiction. But this isn't the timeline he remembers. There's no Reverse-Flash. No time travel murder. No Harrison Wells with secret agendas. Just the natural flow of a world where heroes exist in the shadows and the Justice League is still years from forming. But knowledge is power, and this new Barry Allen refuses to waste it. Oliver Queen's yacht will sink in two weeks. The particle accelerator is years away. Clifford DeVoe hasn't built his Thinking Cap. Lian Yu still holds its secrets. And Barry? He's done being weak. Done being ordinary. Done waiting for lightning to strike. With an enhanced intellect he's only beginning to understand, he starts building an empire from nothing. Money. Power. Skills. He'll master combat on a deadly island, steal research from future villains, and engineer his own transformation into something the multiverse has never seen. Seven abilities. Multiple forces. Perfect optimization. When that particle accelerator finally explodes, Barry Allen won't just become a hero. He'll become inevitable. This is the story of a man who refused to let fate write his story. Who looked at the Speed Force and said "not enough." Who turned foreknowledge into an empire and preparation into godhood. The Flash was supposed to be a hero born from tragedy and chance. This Flash? He's something built with purpose. And the DC Universe will never be the same.

Kidnapping Villainesses in a Cultivation World

He has transmigrated twice. He has died twice. The first time he got cocky in a happy-ending cultivation novel and died in a petty duel. The second, he hid on a mountain to avoid the main plot. A demonic invasion still found him and killed him again. Now he’s on his third transmigration, armed with a System and three powerful abilities: Perfect Memory, Inspect, and Luck Conversion. He is inside Five Villainesses of the Jade Realm, the darkest cultivation story he has ever read. Five women with Fractured Dao hearts, a shadowy organization molding them into weapons, and a world where by the end, most of the population dies. He is Wei Liang, the overlooked seventh heir of the Soaring Crane Sect. He has two weeks to prevent the first Villainess from inverting, there by leading the world to its doom. His plan is simple in theory but crazy in practice: kidnap the five women, save them from their fates, and convince them that the stranger who took them is actually their salvation. The Hollow Veil is watching. The cultivation world thinks he is building a demonic cult. His own brother is investigating him. And the women he is trying to save are all capable of killing him if they even suspect betrayal. Even worse, as he saves them, their feelings—and their rivalries—might complicate everything. Love, loyalty, jealousy, and trust all hang in the balance. He has died twice already. He refuses a third time. - - - - - “Before you stumble through life as an Extra and end up dead, study the master. That’s me. Your survival guide awaits in my story.” — Wei Liang
