The Synaptic Schism

"I am not one person. I am a bridge of broken glass." To the world, Lin Yan is a hollow vessel—the "Idiot" son of a fallen dynasty, sold in marriage to the ruthless CEO Lu Jingho. For twenty years, he hasn't uttered a word, his skin recoiling from every touch as if it were a brand of fire. But inside the silent tomb of his mind, a war is screaming. When a fatal accident at age six tore his soul in two, one half stayed to rot in a world of shadows, while the other was cast into a neon-hell of the future. There, he was "The Architect," a legendary hacker forged in the fires of 21st-century torture and digital isolation. Now, the two souls have been slammed back together.Lin Yan has returned with the power to rewrite reality, but his mind is a jagged landscape of psychological trauma, where the ghosts of his future agony haunt his every breath. He thinks he is suffering in secret. He believes he is a ghost protecting his family from the shadows. He is wrong. Unbeknownst to him, the "Origin Code" in his blood is broadcasting his every heartbeat, every traumatic flashback, and every silent plea for help directly into the minds of the Lu family. As Lin Yan wages a cynical, invisible war against the "Ravens" who stole his father, Lu Jingho is forced to listen to the soul-shattering symphony of his husband's pain. In a world where his only comfort is the "Refrigerator"—the cold, steady presence of a husband he thinks he’s fooling—Lin Yan must face the ultimate terror: What happens when the man who cannot be touched finds out his whole world can hear his heart breaking?

Kryptonian God Among Supernaturals

When Matthew comes to himself, he finds himself in his past self. As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another. A world where people have the opportunity to gain superpowers and devour devil fruits upon becoming adults. Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?" No one could understand why Mathew did that, but Matthew had a completely different thought. "So what if the sun's rays don't reach this world? I'm the only one who knows how to strengthen the Kryptonian body. As long as I know what I need, it won't be too hard to find. And then humanity will meet SUPERMAN." ---------- I do not own Superman or any of the other mentioned creations. This is a fanfiction. ---------- This is a translated story. Original Author: Ma La Liu Lian / 麻辣榴莲 Original Story Name: You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent? / 神级异能你不要,你选最差天赋?
