New Mutant, New World

scrapsplosh
Hal Rayner wakes up in what appears to be a different version of the MCU. Now in the body of a younger version of himself, he must navigate this unfamiliar world, a world that carries its own weight of problems, with strong will. A vanished population. An earth in mourning. A hopeless society grasping for answers. Beneath it all lies a repressed fear that only the world leaders and government have—an unease surrounding the quiet rise of a new species that could challenge the future of humanity: mutants. A species Hal now belongs to. He will face the greed of the very people he once called his own, dodge their grasping hands that are eager to dissect and profit from the blood of his comrades, carry the sorrow of his kind, and temper the rage building inside him as innocents follow orders in the name of the greater good. He will endure for those he loves, for those he holds with compassion—for mutantkind. — This story is my spin on a marvel mutant fanfic. What I want to focus on is a story around the five years that half of the population went missing, as well as beyond, as I don’t really see any story based around that time at all. This story will also focus towards the rise of mutants, and how it would be in the MCU, at least, what would make sense to me with the established mythos of the movies. It will touch the themes of oppression, media control, racism, and all those things in the x-men comic. Everything before Thanos snapped his fingers for the first time will be what it was in the MCU canon, but after it will be entirely AU. Because of said themes, this fanfic will NOT be a face-slapping kind of fanfic. I will focus on the characters, their motivations, their trauma, and their struggle. Because of the circumstances of the MCU as a whole, most of the adult X-men cast that you know from fanfics or movies will probably not appear at all or will be in a different state that you usually find in other stories. The first arc of the story will sort-of be the New Mutants movie heavy rewrite. If that doesn’t interest you, then move along I guess. Aside from the New Mutants movie rewrite at the start, I will probably take very loose inspirations from Avengers vs. X-men, Civil War II, House of X, Fall of X, and all the post-endgame movies. As for chapter information. A chapter will be around 700-2000 words, depending on my mood and the pace of the scenes. I don’t have a fixed schedule, but I will most likely post in bulk, especially if the scenes are shorter and thus the chapters are shorter. Lastly, everything aside the MC doesn't belong to me, even the cover picture. art by sway art.

As Lex Luthor's Son in Young Justice/DC With Archangel Grace

To be born anew... One would think it a blessing, but to me for the longest it was a curse. A mighty soul they called me, and I was - I certainly still am. For I was a soul that the dying grace of a fallen archangel latched onto. I was reborn with might virtually unending, yet it was still a curse. I was born too strong. My body could not handle my strength, and it fell into a deep sleep. A sleep that was only physical, for my soul did not rest. There was only darkness for so long, and were it not for the echoing hyms of Heaven that my grace hummed I would have perhaps gone mad. That is, until like a dim pinprick a light began to appear within the darkness. It grew brighter day by day, year by year, and with it, I could hear more of the world beyond. I could... I could hear a man calling to me, his voice a incoherent murmer, yet always recognizeable. Always there, everyday. Until finally one day I could understand him. Lex Luthor. My father. His son. That is who I was. Who I will be. ---------------------------- (Author note: This is about a guy, from our world, reborn in DC, but with the grace of Lucifer as he died against Michael!Dean in Supernatural Season 13 episode 22. He was born in a body that couldn't handle his strength and was in a coma for 19 years, till he finally awakes. He's very overpowered, but can't really exercise it, since using too much power will destroy his body, and leave him only as an archangel that can't interact with the physical world. This story will have a lot of slice of life in it, action will be there, but real heavy fighting isn't gonna be a focus as he can't besides in special circumstances. Though, do know, he is Luthor's son. He is a villain, as he is the son of a villain, and an archangel who is quite cold to the world when he sees things from such a higher perspective, but he'll have his own morals, so don't worry about too extreme things. There are more things to say, so please read the auxiliary chapter, well, I hope to see you all later, Bye!)

Emotion System:Online

Fifty years ago, everything changed. Giant screens appeared in the sky. Glowing symbols etched themselves into people's skin. From that day, every human received a System—a mysterious power granted by something no one fully understood. At least that's what people thought. Along with the appearance of Rift. A crack that suddenly appeared in random places and monsters that came from the other side of it. Every person who awakens gets a unique system tied to their personality, feelings, or past. These systems can grant powerful abilities—but they come with risks. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the power. But losing control can lead to self-destruction. --- Lee Ji Han, a quiet and distant boy, has lived most of his life suppressing his emotions. He awakens with a mysterious system called the Emotion Absorption system, which allows him to feel and absorb the emotions of others—and turn them into power. But this ability is dangerous. If Ji Han absorbs too much... he could lose himself. Together with Kang Ha Neul, a calm and sharp boy with the rare System Mirror that lets him copy others’ systems, and Han Ji Won, a hot-headed fighter with a system that feeds off rage and fire, they begin their journey as the student of the National System Academy(NSA) to become a Rift Responders—people who fight back against the growing threat of the Rift. As they train, fight, and grow closer, they’ll uncover secrets about the Academy, systems, their own pasts, and the true reason the Rifts exist. But in a world where emotions are power— Who controls who? ---

The Rise of the Queen

The First Book of the Kingdom of Sheba When the suns of kings are extinguished, When the voices of sage's fade into hush, And the throne sways uncertainly amidst the shadows…The Daughter of the Sun rises. In the heart of the Kingdom of Sheba where the scent of frankincense mingles with the breath of ancient time, and walls shiver with sleepless secrets A journey unlike any other begins. A woman born of prophecy stands at the crossroads of light and shadow, to seize a crown not forged for her, but for which she herself was forged. Balqis, last of the House of Al-Haddad, does not walk to the throne she ascends it, as one who climbs into her own fate. Encircled by tribal whispers, and assailed by the schemes of men who fear her radiance, she dares to rise in a realm that tests all who attempt to reshape its sacred order. This book is the threshold to a legend in the making Where philosophy bleeds into politics, rituals merge with sacrifice, and history dreams in fire. The Rise of the Queen is no mere tale of a woman’s reign in an age that worships only masculine might, but a profound meditation on will, On the weight of inheritance, and on a question that refuses to fade: Can light prove itself in the inferno of doubt? In this first odyssey through Sheba’s realm, we walk beside Balqis through the chill of crowds and the shadows of court, we hear the heartbeat of conspiracy, Glimpse the flare of decision, and trace the silhouette of a queen who carves time with a glance and reshapes destiny with a single word. The Rise of the Queen is the dawn of an era...The spark of a sovereign flame. For only that which burns… may truly shine.
