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.**

This Time, I Choose Humanity!

“You're just a useless Paladin-class warrior, what makes you think that a tank like you will be able to stop all of us?!” “A useless tank? You all are truly inexperienced to be able to say such words.” Ivan muttered calmly as the shield in his right hand vanished and his aura gradually changed. “So what if you're all mages? When pushed too hard, even a shield can turn into the deadliest blade!” ….. Earth was in an era of supernatural normalities. Humans are able to use mana and awaken unimaginable abilities that allow them to be comparable to gods, and dungeons where powerful monsters crawled out from spawned across the planet. In this world where magic ruled supreme, Ivan Castellan, the second son of the Castellan family, ends up awakening a weapon-type ability. He awakens as a Paladin whose duty is to block attacks! However, Ivan remains unfazed by the hateful remarks from others because of his awakened ability. Not just because his family accepted him and he found people who still cared about him at the academy, but because he was in a race against time! Apparently, Ivan was a regressor from thirty years ago and had been reborn into the Castellan family after he was betrayed by his own race because they feared his rapidly growing strength. He was once a part of an alien race that was soon to invade Earth through the dungeons and kill everyone on the planet. Now reborn as a human with knowledge of the future and having the experience of a hundred-year-old alien General, Ivan was set to repay his race for killing him and to repay the kindness of his new family and companions. This time, he would stand with humanity and stop his old race from taking over the planet!

Evolution: From Calamity To Accursed Calamity

In a realm forged from the collision of two universes, existence is a meat grinder. Spanning dozens of galaxies, this "Great Link" has become the primary theater of war for the cosmos' most formidable factions. Here, Divine Entities fall by the thousands, their deaths fertilizing the soil for new ascendants in a relentless cycle of slaughter, carnage and greed. But from the friction of this chaos—the gore, the death, and the broken laws of physics—a new lifeform emerged: The Calamity. To the outsiders, the Calamities are not people; they are living ore. They are hunted for their essences, consumed as nourishment, or broken into servitude. While most are mindless beasts of destruction, a rare few are born with souls and intellect. They are the prey that knows it is being hunted. In a forgotten corner of this sprawling graveyard, a Rank 1 Calamity is born. He is the weakest of his kind, a flickering spark in a storm of divine-tier predators. He awakens with nothing but a primal directive: Ascend or be consumed. Yet, buried within his frail form lie three anomalies—illogical, reality-warping abilities that defy the established power scales of both universes. In a world where "strength" is measured by the bodies of fallen divines, one weakling must test the limits of his broken gifts. Can a creature born of chaos bring order to a realm of divine greed, or will he simply be the highest-quality resource ever harvested? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Simple:— A realm was formed when two different universes were connected. A realm that spanned for dozens of galaxies in diameter. In time chaos, death and disorder spread through the whole realm, and from these mentioned elements came a completely new race of beings; which the lifeforms of the two universes termed as [Calamity]. Most were savage; unintelligent in nature but there were some, stronger ones who were born with sentience, intelligence! The calamities hated it as their home was ravaged by war and their kind was hunted because of greed, as they were seen as nothing but resources by the outsiders to either consume or tame! However, despite of everything, they couldn't do anything, as if they had a few strongs, than the outsiders had many on many strongs. The massive realm had become the main focus of all the main powers of the two universes. it had become a main ground where three different powers fought on a daily basis in every corner of the realm. Every day there were [Divine Entities] that fell to their doom, but every day there were also many how ascended to [Divinity]. The opportunities and the resources were abundant, along with the dangers and death that came hand in hand with them. Meanwhile, in such an environment; a weak calamity was born in some far corner of the realm. Away from the real dangers, yet still not, because even though, he had sentience, he was born weak and ignorant. Only born with the superficial knowledge; that his kind was hunted, and he must become stronger as soon as possible if he wants to survive, and not become nourishment for someone else. Nonetheless, though born weakest as a rank 1 calamity, he had something special that not many had. An absurdly and illogically strong ability, another absurdly strong ability and another strong ability. However, it was still unknown, if these abilities were even strong enough to make him survive, let alone make him strong, stronger than anybody else, or perhaps strong enough to make him climb to the top. The Apex! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [Note: The MC is indeed born with strong abilities, however that doesn't mean those abilities will make him insanely stronger from the start! No, instead to become strong and peerless, he would have to work for it, and suffer for it! Only then would he be worthy enough to be called ] ... *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

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.
