The Last Duke

the_son_of_atlas
In a city where power is inherited through blood and betrayal, a boy known only as Duke rises from the shadows of poverty into the heart of a criminal empire. What begins as survival quickly transforms into something far more dangerous—control. But Duke soon discovers he is not the first to wear the name… and every Duke before him has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As he builds his empire brick by brick, enemies emerge from every direction: old kings who refuse to fall, allies who hide knives behind smiles, and a hidden system that has shaped the underworld for generations. The deeper he goes, the clearer the truth becomes—Duke is not just a man. He is part of a cycle. A legacy built on blood. A role that always demands a final sacrifice. Now, as the city teeters on the edge of chaos, Duke faces the ultimate question: Will he become the last ruler of a cursed empire… or the last victim of it?

Resident Evil: Zombie Command

Marcus Cole Harrison, a corporate analyst from our world, wakes up in the body of an Umbrella Security Division soldier just as the world is about to burn. He has inherited more than just a military rank; he possesses a perfectly integrated T-Virus that has bonded with his transmigrated soul. Unlike the shambling monsters or the mutated BOWs, Marcus is a "human-viral symbiosis"—retaining his mind while evolving his biology. Recognizing the impending global extinction, Marcus deserts Umbrella to become the ultimate variable. Joining forces with iconic survivors like Alice and Jill Valentine, he uses his powers to turn Umbrella’s creations against them. He isn't just fighting for survival; he is a living weapon designed to dismantle the corporation that started the apocalypse. In a world of zombies and tyrants, Marcus is the only thing Umbrella truly fears: their own perfection turned against them. The Virus: Integrated Powers Telekinesis: An active ability that allows Marcus to manipulate objects with his mind. It ranges from subtle distractions to crushing force, though it requires intense concentration and drains "Viral Stamina." Superhuman Physique: A passive enhancement of speed, strength, and durability. Marcus’s body operates at peak efficiency, allowing him to contend with BOWs like Hunters and Lickers in close-quarters combat. Zombie Command: Marcus can broadcast a viral frequency to influence or command basic T-Virus infected. This allows him to turn a ravenous horde into a tactical shield or a localized army. Antivirus Blood: Marcus’s biology acts as a living laboratory. His blood can be processed into a highly effective antivirus, making him the most valuable asset in the fight to save humanity—and the most hunted man on the planet.

My Soul Created A System: The Defective Noble

Born into one of the most prestigious noble families of the Eldros Empire, Kael Ashborne should have been a prodigy. Instead, he was branded a defect. Physically weak, plagued by a mysterious illness, and unable to wield power like his gifted siblings, Kael grows up neglected—cast aside by his family, ignored by his teachers, and bullied within the academy. In a world where strength defines worth, weakness is unforgivable. Yet what no one knows is that Kael’s body is not failing him by chance. It is failing because his soul is too strong. On the brink of death at fifteen, Kael’s sealed memories awaken—alongside a damaged system created by his own soul in a previous life. Not a gift from the gods. Not a blessing of fate. But a desperate mechanism born solely to keep him alive. With a body that threatens to collapse under his growing soul and a system that enforces cruel limits, Kael must walk a path slower and more dangerous than any other. Each step forward risks destruction. Each mistake could be fatal. Rejected by blood. Surrounded by enemies. Supported by only a single loyal maid. This is not the rise of a chosen hero. This is the survival of a noble deemed unworthy to exist—and the terrifying truth of what happens when a world mistakes restraint for weakness.
