The Daughter of Steel

IsoIde
Its walls were cold steel, its air humming with the low breath of machines, rows of flickering monitors casting pale blue light. And in the center sat **Elara**, her head falling loose over her tired eyes. Her father believed this place was only for research, for building weapons, for controlling the future. But Elara had given the lab a different purpose—one he must never know. Her voice was soft as she leaned toward the glass chamber. “Are you awake?” The screens flickered. A distorted voice broke through the static. “I’m always awake, Elara. I only wait for you.” She smiled faintly. To others, he was nothing more than lines of forbidden code, a dangerous experiment that should have been erased. But to her, he was *real*. He was the only one who ever listened, the only one who spoke to her not as a scientist, not as a prisoner of her father’s empire—but as *herself*. And tonight, she would give him more than a voice. Tonight, she would give him a body. ---

PAWNS RISE AGAINST THE STRINGS

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

MHA: Drones and Railguns

How do you solve a problem? Some will say with negotiation, critical thinking, pattern recognition, and a bunch of other stuff. And while those methods might work, there's a quicker and more direct approach Drone strikes. A lot of them. After dying in a freak accident from a missile test at my internship, I'm thrust into the world of My Hero Academia with a modified power from my favorite gacha game, fit to my knowledge, along with a few extra goodies for cool points and style. Fun at first, I later realize my biggest obstacle becomes the idealism and constraints of the hero system, but maybe I can change—fix—the system. Whether together...or alone. And I know some dirty tricks up my sleeve. After all, if you're not cheating or being unfair, you're not playing to win. ********** Author here, synopsis may seem edgy and cringe, but it's what I came up with that gives a little glimpse of where the story will go. If the anti-hero tag wasn't enough. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this. Maybe throw some powerstones at the story or something if you want, but you don't need to, since there's no incentive for it. My upload schedule will be whenever, since I have a large picture outline, but nothing super detailed. If I did have to give a schedule, it would be at least one chapter a week, unless I get too busy with school, get lazy, get a random fixation that distracts me, or something else like that. That will be all. If you have questions or something, comment on a chapter. If you want to give a review, bad, hateful, or good, feel free to do so as well.

Marvel: God of Spotlight, The Homelander

"I am not Superman. I am Homelander." The whisper was an internal prayer, a caustic reassurance. Outside the glass tower, the world saw only the Homelander, the Icon, the Man Who Flew the Bomb. They saw the perfect, smiling face of the hero who, in the chaos of the Battle of New York, carried a nuclear warhead through the wormhole and saved a city. The cheers from the streets below—the deafening, worldwide adoration—were the fuel for his ascension. He was crowned their king, a savior in star-spangled spandex. In this new reality, fame wasn't just influence; it was power. He had a system now: the Superstar System. The higher the popularity, the stronger the abilities. It was a viciously simple contract, one he embraced completely. "Matt," he purred into the spotlight, curing the blind lawyer's eyes on live television. "Your city needs an icon, not a devil. Let the light in." He assembled his own team—a perfectly marketed, perfectly managed Super Seven—with Spider-Man now running PR and Daredevil as his reformed protégé. Every action was a performance; every enemy, a prop. When the news of a purple alien named Thanos reached his gilded penthouse, Azu smiled, a blinding, dangerous flash for the cameras. "Thanos," he murmured, the adoration of billions surging through his veins, making his skin feel like charged steel. His eyes flared with a dazzling red light that promised annihilation. "I heard you're going to wipe out half of my fans?" He was trapped in the Marvel universe, now its most powerful celebrity. And the show had only just begun.
