Evolution With The White Lizard

Deep within a primeval forest where spiritual energy saturates the air, a colony of white scale lizards survives in a hidden cave. One of them is different. Not larger or stronger, but touched by something unseen—a glowing interface only it can perceive. A voice announces the awakening of the **Evolution System**, rewarding the lizard for feeding with mysterious Evolution Points. At first, growth is subtle: sharper awareness, faint curiosity, and adaptations that allow it to survive beyond its primitive instincts. When sunlight first assaults its eyes, the system intervenes, evolving its vision so it can witness the vibrant world beyond the cave. The forest is no sanctuary. Humans—beings of higher intelligence and ruthless ambition—hunt and kill within its depths. When a dying cultivator attempts to steal the lizard’s body through a forbidden soul extraction technique, the system reacts, cleansing the intruding essence but leaving fragments of human memory behind. The lizard inherits echoes of another life: concepts of technology, knowledge, and mortality. With understanding comes hunger. The corpse of the fallen human becomes its first significant source of power. Evolution Points flow as it consumes, enabling mutations to its teeth, organs, and scales. Each enhancement reshapes the lizard, transforming it from a fragile creature into something stronger—something capable of surviving in a world ruled by cultivators and predatory beasts. Awakening after its transformations, the lizard discovers it has grown larger and denser, now the size of a small chick. It is no longer just a cave dweller. It is evolving. But evolution is not mercy. It is change. And in a world where power defines existence, the question remains: What will the white lizard become?

The Echoes of Duality

Akira Kurogane thought he knew who he was—a normal high school student living a quiet life with his sister. That ended the night he touched an ancient artifact and woke up with two voices in his head. Hikari, the Light Soul: Calm, strategic, protective. A warrior of justice who believes in second chances and healing. Kage, the Shadow Soul: Brutal, instinctive, powerful. A predator who sees the world in terms of strength and survival. Both claim to be part of him. Both fight for control. And both are hiding something. As Akira struggles to master these conflicting powers, he's thrust into a hidden world of exorcists, demons, and an organization called The Equilibrium—who hunt Dual Soul bearers for a sinister purpose. With the help of Yuki Shirayuki, a cold but skilled ice-wielding exorcist, and Ryu Hayato, a hot-blooded rival who becomes his closest friend, Akira fights to protect his normal life. But the more he uses his power, the more questions emerge. Why do some memories feel fake? Why do Hikari and Kage sound almost... parental? And why did that dying enemy say, "You don't even know what you are"? When the truth finally surfaces, Akira's world implodes. He's not the original. He's not even the host. He's the bridge—a consciousness created 500 years ago by two souls who needed to survive. Everything he remembers, everything he is, was constructed. Given. Designed. But can something made choose to be real? Can a bridge become more than the shores it connects? Akira's journey to answer that question will determine not just his fate, but the fate of the world.

Ascension Code: Reborn in the DC Universe

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him. A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities. Then he died. And was born again. Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process. Memory intact. Intellect intact. Ambition intact. From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols. While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence. While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable. Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution. This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued. This project is not a continuation, rewrite, or replacement of that original work. It is an independent story, created with its own plot, characters, and direction, merely inspired by the ideas and feelings that the original story left with me. Out of respect, I want to properly credit the source of my inspiration below: Original Story Title: Pyroclasm (Young Justice SI) Original Author: Fulcon Original Story Link: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/pyroclasm-young-justice-si.664558/ If you enjoyed this story, I highly recommend checking out the original work and supporting its author. Reader Notice If you like the story but don’t like harem: fuck off. This story has harem. If you like the story but don’t like gore: fuck off too. This story has gore. The tags are there. If you don’t like it, read the tags and don’t read the story. Simple as that. I’m not changing the story to please everyone. It was written this way from the start. If you want to read early chapters, they will be available on my Patreon. I’m not promising 10 or 20 chapters ahead — maybe just a few, maybe more later — but there will be early content there. I’m taking my time with this story because I want it to be good, not rushed. That takes time, revision, and proper development. If this kind of story is for you, welcome. If not, just move on. Simple. This is my first fanfic, and I hope you enjoy it. If you can support it with Power Stones, I would be very grateful. Criticism and comments are always welcome. Thank you, and enjoy your reading! If you'd like to support me and, as a bonus, read some chapters in advance, just become a member of my Patreon: https:/./www.patreon.com/cw/pararaio.

Surviving in the Demon Academy as My Novel's Final Antagonist

I just finished writing the last chapter of my novel, [Powering Through the Prestigious Academy With No Talent], where the final villain was defeated by the protagonist. This novel that I designed meticulously from head to toe...was now done. The protagonist shakily pointed his cold blade at the villain's neck, "Any last words?" The villain wasn't fazed, despite nearing his death, and smiled widely, as if mocking the protagonist, "No, nothing." "Just kill me." "...Very well.", and with one slash, the villain was killed. In the end, such an outcome was inevitable, no matter how powerful the villain became. And that was the ultimate satisfaction for any avid reader. But the next moment, I suffered an excruciating headache, and collapsed before I was able to upload the last chapter. Unexpectedly, when I woke up and opened my eyes, I wasn't in a hospital, nor my room, but a cemetery. I felt around my clothes that were getting drenched in the rain, and saw my dashingly red hair in a puddle nearby. My face was now completely different from before; my mouth naturally tugged upwards, and my eyes became slits as if they were sewn shut. Unmistakably, I recognized this appearance, which I had envisioned countless times. No, wait, why do I look like that guy? Where is my computer? My phone? Eventually, I realized--I'd reincarnated as the final villain in my novel! The ending scene of the villain dying by the protagonist's hands flashed through my eyes, and I remembered the words I said right after I wrote it. It's inevitable. "...I'm screwed."

Dark Ascension:Return of A Failed Villain

So I died choking on a sandwich. Not in battle. Not saving anyone. Not even doing something mildly interesting. Just... lunch. One minute I'm biting into way too much bread, the next I'm coughing, then choking, then—nothing. Classic. Next thing I know, I'm waking up in a body that smells like incense and existential dread, staring at hands that belong to someone else. Some noble prick with a family crest and a servant who calls me "Second Son" like it's an insult. Which, apparently, it is. Turns out I've been isekai'd into that dark fantasy novel I used to read. You know the one—magic schools, reality-bending nobles, cosmic horrors that eat worlds for breakfast. The works. And I've been dumped into the body of Damon Mournblade, a background character so irrelevant he dies in the first major disaster to show how dangerous the bad guys are. Oh, and that disaster? It's happening in about three months. So here's the situation: I've got the memories of a dead guy who read this story, the affinity of a death-obsessed noble house that thinks I'm mediocre, and a countdown clock to the scene where I'm supposed to get vaporized by something that makes demons look like puppies. The smart play? Run. Hide. Let the "heroes" handle it while I figure out how to survive in a universe where humans are the bottom of the food chain. But here's the thing about dying from a sandwich—it does something to your pride. Makes you think maybe, just maybe, you deserve better than a footnote. So I'm not running. I'm going to walk right into that disaster. I'm going to look the thing that's supposed to kill me in the face. And I'm going to make it regret ever noticing my name. The universe thinks I'm a corpse waiting to happen. The nobles think I'm invisible. The "protagonist" hasn't even shown up yet. Let them all keep sleeping. Because when the screaming starts and the walls start breathing and everyone realizes too late what's actually coming—they're going to notice the dead guy who refused to stay dead. And that's when the real game begins. Assuming I survive the next three months. No pressure.
