From Gotham to Night City, My Notoriety Precedes Me

Leo is a simple, straightforward, and easily satisfied man. Unlike those world-saving busybodies, he only wants two modest things in life — wealth and immortality. Yet even these humble, harmless desires are constantly obstructed by the so-called “great ones,” leaving him deeply displeased. ———— Saburo Arasaka, Batman, Iron Man, Black Panther… all their names are neatly scribbled in his little black book. They're really — really — really getting on his nerves. And don’t even mention the Joker. He hates the Joker. Like, really hates him. Leo swears that if he ever takes over Arkham Asylum, his first decree will be the "Lobotomy on Arrival" policy. No exceptions. Just a lifetime of drooling bliss in a padded cell. Problem solved. And before we wrap things up, Leo would like to give a heartfelt shoutout to his beloved V (Vivian), V (Vera), and V (Veronica). Different backgrounds — one from the streets, one from the wastelands, and one from the ivory towers of corporate power — yet all equally gentle, graceful, and breathtakingly beautiful. Especially Vivian. His darling Vivian. He loves her more than anything. And it’s absolutely not because of the unsettling crack of her knuckles behind him. "Finished writing your will?" Vivian flashes a radiant smile. "Good. Time to die, scumbag!" --- https://discord.gg/e735ByBA9K Advanced Chapters in pat/reon.com/KyokaSuigetsu

Rakshas: Tales of the Summoned Lord Banished, but not broken. Forgotten, but not weak. Allen Styles was cast away from his noble lineage, sent to carve his own path in a world that respects only power.

Awakening SSS-rank Talent: Black Hole

Earth is broken. Humanity is doomed. And one boy’s power could end it all—or save it. In the ashes of a shattered world held together by chains forged by Solar System Masters, survival demands a Talent, a Class, and a ticket to the stars. An orphan branded “bastard,” a child born from a woman casted away Grimhammer Family due to brutal power games, Elias clawed his way from the gutters of Six Clover Nation to the pinnacle of genius—only to Awaken a Talent that could unravel reality itself: SSS-Rank Black Hole. Now, the very Grimhammers that once abandoned him clamor to control his cataclysmic power. World leaders debate executing him. And a shadowy alliance of unknowns and monsters sees him as either humanity’s hope… or its final doom. But Elias is no one’s puppet. Haunted by a mother’s sacrifice and a father’s legacy, he’ll walk a razor’s edge between destruction and salvation. With Earth fracturing beneath his feet and enemies closing in, Elias must master the unmasterable: bend gravity, defy fate, and wield a black hole’s infinite hunger—without becoming the monster they all fear. This is a universe where power is prison and blood is currency, one wrong move could devour worlds. But Elias Grimhammer doesn’t play by their rules. --- Harbinger of Doom asked in deep reverberating voice, "What will you do with the power that can eat the sun?"
