Batman: Locked-In

marvel_stark
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.**

Please note that this work of fiction is not safe for work (NSFW). It contains words, scenes, and phrases not suitable for audiences below 18. Be aware. Leon was your typical guy, perceived as weak in his school because his skills hadn't awakened, even though they usually did at the coming of age. He attended the prestigious Milham's Magic Knight Academy, where snagging the top spot meant automatic entry into the esteemed position of a Magic Knight in the country. Unfortunately, Leon found himself in the lower caste, labeled the most useless student. To top it off, he was tossed into a class that served as a sanctuary for oddballs and delinquents. Yet, he couldn't care less, as becoming a Magic Knight wasn't his goal. Everything shifted when he crossed paths with Shredica, a woman hell-bent on becoming a Magic Knight at any cost. Observing Leon's lack of ambition and his apparent detachment from the academy's pursuits, Shredica saw an opportunity. She decided to exploit him as a pawn in her ascent through the academy's hierarchy. Yet, unbeknownst to Shredica, Leon was not the complacent, unremarkable figure she presumed him to be. *** Weekly Release Schedule Base Rate: 2-3 chapters a day (14-21 chapters a week) Power Stone and Golden Ticket Milestone If we reach these goals by the end of the week, the total chapter count for the following week will increase: 200+ PS/50+ GT: 25 chapters/week 250+ PS/100+ GT: 27 chapters/week 300+ PS/150+ GT: 30 chapters/week Gift Bonuses: Feeling generous?

Myriad Heavens: Rise of the Rune God

Myriad Heavens: Rise of the Rune God - Synopsis Note: This Novel is complete. "I dodged Truck-kun with a parkour backflip. That should've been the end of it." After evading certain death with sick moves, genius programmer Runar thought he was safe—until the truck transformed into a freaking autobot and apologized for having to kill him anyway. "I just graduated from Truck Reincarnation Academy! I can't fail my first mission! My classmate will mock me." Now reborn on Telstra, a world where cultivation meets sci-fi, Runar discovers the ultimate cheat code: runes are the programming language of reality itself. While everyone else grinds through cultivation realms, he's copying physique runes, optimizing techniques, and debugging the universe. But in a cosmos where aliens hunt humans, ancient supremes have left for realms beyond, and power is everything—staying low-key might be harder than he thought. One day, he'll find that desperate truck and give it the beating it deserves. There is a second novel after the ending of the first one. After Chapter 346. Begins a new Chapter 1. I CAN COPY TALENTS FROM MYSELF ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE - SYNOPSIS Ash awakened His Boundless Origin Martial Soul. It allowed him to break free from the space-time of his universe and resonate with infinite versions of himself across the multiverse. From those parallel selves, he could permanently copy any talent, skill, knowledge, or ability they possessed. No talent? Copy a supreme one. No skill? Copy it. Failing exams? Copy the knowledge of a scholarly genius. Stuck in cultivation? Copy the comprehension of a parallel self who already solved it. There are Various versions of himself out there. One was a peerless martial god who dominated the galaxy. One was a cold scientific monster who rewrote the laws of the world. One was a Taoist immortal who walked alone above the heavens. One was a carpenter who reached the peak through pure craft. One was a general who never lost a war. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of his Martial Soul abilty. In a world that measures everything by talent rank, Ash Apeiron starts at the very bottom. But with infinite versions of himself to draw from, the gap between him and everyone else is about to become irreversible. Martial Path (energy stored in the cells) 1. Body Refining Realm (Rank 1–9) 2. Martial Apprentice Realm 3. Martial Master Realm 4. Martial Grandmaster Realm 5. Martial King Realm 6. Martial Emperor Realm 7. Martial Sovereign Realm 8. Martial Saint Realm 9. Martial God Realm Beyond Martial God 10. Martial Void Realm 11. Martial Star Realm 12. Martial Cosmic Realm 13. Martial Multiverse God Realm Immortal Path (energy stored in the dantian) Same structure, simply replace "Martial" with "Immortal" (Immortal Apprentice → Immortal Multiverse God Realm). More Cultivation paths will be added in the future, like Mage path, Curse Path, Soul Path, Puppet Path. Also, I mainly write comprehension novels. I believe knowledge is power. So, most of my main characters in my novels are always book smart. Consider supporting me on https://ko-fi.com/sorion Or donating on Paypal to [email protected]. Don't send me weird emails
