New Dawn Chapter: 056

Kohta was running frantically through the school’s winding hallways. His breathing was ragged and panicked. With each step he took, his shoes squeaked loudly against the tiled flooring.

Behind him trailed six infected individuals chasing him down relentlessly.

"Gotta...gotta get outta here...need to get somewhere safe..."

He gasped for air between hurried strides but he never slowed down or stopped for a moment. Though he wondered how long until his untrained lungs could k...

Chapter 028: No Illusions Here

The laptop flickered, casting shifting shadows across the luxurious cabin of the private jet. On-screen, chaos erupted at the Star City docks, where shipping containers lay scattered like forgotten dominoes, smoke rising in thick plumes against the night sky. The flashing red-and-blue lights of police cruisers reflected off the water, creating a kaleidoscope of disorder.  

“Star City police have confirmed the arrest of notorious crime boss Danny ‘Brick’ Brickwell after a...

New Dawn Chapter: 055

"The name's Tysone." He replied casually, giving a curt nod. "That's Mai, Saya, Miku, and Saeko, though I'm sure you already know them by name."

Rei frowned momentarily but quickly smiled. "My name is Rei Miyamoto." Then, she pointed to her friend. "That's Takashi, and that over there is Hisashi." She gestured towards him.

Takashi had an inexplicable frown on his face, but remained quiet.

As for Hisahi, he looked like he'd have been a more cheerful company if not for the wou...

Chapter 027: A Proposal

Adrian felt like the universe was having a laugh at his expense. 

In just one night, he had discovered his powers, fought multiple near-death battles, and somehow managed to stand his ground long enough to survive Batgirl’s unexpected arrival. But the confidence he’d shown her? Total bluff. His body was screaming, his muscles were heavy like lead, and if she had even nudged him in the wrong way, he probably would’ve face-planted onto the dock. 

Now, standing at the...

Chapter 026: Meeting a True Hero

The night air hung heavy with the smell of salt and blood as Adrian stood amidst the sea of crushed G-Elves, breathing heavily. Guardian staggered forward, the G-Gnome’s claws sunk deep into his shoulder, its glowing horns pulsing with malicious intent. The man’s body moved like a marionette—awkward, yet terrifyingly efficient. 

Adrian cracked his neck, the exhaustion gripping his muscles. But he couldn’t stop. Not now. Not with this thing using Guardian like a weapon. ...

Chapter 025: Adrian vs Guardian

Adrian sighed as he stepped out of the dockmaster’s office, his shoulders slouched like he’d just been caught sneaking out past curfew. His eyes met Guardian’s, who stood rigid, the light from a nearby lamppost reflecting off his golden helmet.  

“Wow,” Adrian asked. “That was quick. How’d you find me? GPS in my fried chicken or something?”  

Guardian didn’t respond. He moved faster than Adrian expected, grabbing him by the collar and slamming...

New Dawn chapter: 054

"That’s the plan. My place."

"The city will likely become inhospitable within the hour." Saya interjected. "Ty's right, we need to leave before it gets too chaotic."

"Makes sense." Saeko said, nodding once.

"Do you have anywhere you need to go?" He asked politely, giving the option to join his party if she so pleased. "I saw that most of the city had been infested, though if someone’s still waiting for you—" He trailed off, leaving the suggestion hanging in the air. 2025-01-30 03:27:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 024: Run and Hide

Adrian sprinted through the dark streets of Blüdhaven, his breath coming in short bursts. The chaos of the wrecked Cadillac and the sight of Guardian flung into the street played through his mind, but he pushed it aside. He needed a way out. Fast.  

His eyes landed on a beat-up red sedan parked along the curb, engine idling as its owner leaned over to scrape something off the windshield. Perfect.  

Adrian slipped behind the man, his footsteps silent. He grabbe...

Chapter 023: Bones and Blood

The black Cadillac rolled out of the KFC parking lot, the golden glow of fast-food neon fading into the dark streets of Blüdhaven. Inside, Adrian sat with a bucket of chicken on his lap, devouring drumsticks with fervor. Grease glistened on his fingers, but he didn’t care. After everything, this was heaven.  

“You know,” Adrian said between bites, “this might just be the best Kentucky Fried Chicken I’ve ever had. But let’s settle the real debate—who’s got the ...

New Dawn Chapter: 053

Tysone’s leg swung down on a zombie before his knife found itself lodged deep within the undead’s skull.

As the corpse fell limp beneath him, Tysone pulled his weapon free. Blood soared in a small arc.

"H-Hey!! Help! Somebody help—gaaah!!" Someone screamed farther down the hallways.

'Another poor sap.' Tysone frowned. 'Shouldn’t have ventured out alone…'

Mai flinched slightly at the agonizing sounds coming from another room. "We need to rush before more of th...

Chapter 022: Meeting Lex Luthor

Adrian had heard of Lex Luthor—who hadn’t? The man who once challenged Superman, only to pivot into a new identity as a benevolent billionaire philanthropist. It was a cute story, the kind people liked to believe about second chances.  

Adrian didn’t buy it for a second.  

No such thing as a selfless billionaire. And the fact that Luthor was connected to Cadmus just reinforced his suspicions.  

Guardian walked beside him as they exited the...

Chapter 021: FURY

Adrian looked up, his eyes narrowing. “You done?” 

“Hell no,” Tommy said, leaning forward with a grin. “You think you’re funny now, but give it a few weeks. Scrawny little niggas like you get passed around in here. You wanna avoid that? Start makin’ friends.” 

Adrian’s hands curled into fists. “Shut up.” 

Tommy smirked. “Hit a nerve, huh? You ain’t got the balls for this life, do you? What you wanna do, boy? Beat up the biggest guy in...

Chapter 020: Awaken

Adrian knew what Cadmus had done to him. His eidetic memory ensured he could never forget it. 

They had turned his body into a prototype, refined to the peak of human physiology without any training. Strength, speed, endurance—he had it all, but it felt like a cruel joke. A blade handed to a child. Dangerous, but in the hands of someone untrained? Limited. Reckless. He’d need to fix that. He needed training, discipline, a way to actually use what they’d given him. 

New Dawn Chapter: 052

Tysone ensured that the door leading to the rooftop was locked properly before he heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t know how infested the building they were in was, but the more layers between him and those things, the better. “No, Miku. This is very real.”

The girl in question was in a delicate condition. 

Her entire face had lost its color. Mai wasn't that far behind. Her face looked ashen, and her grip was tight around Tysone, who she clung to for support. “W-What...

Chapter 019: Shards of Power

Adrian sprinted through the narrow streets of Blüdhaven, his breath coming in ragged gasps. His heart pounded against his ribs, adrenaline pumping through his veins as his boots splashed through puddles left by a recent rain. The salt-laden air from the nearby docks clung to his skin, heavy and damp, making every step feel like he was running through molasses.  

Behind him, the faint tap of boots on concrete echoed steadily, deliberate and unhurried.  

“Run ...

New Dawn Chapter: 051

Tysone's stomach churned with acid as his mind raced to catch up with events unfolding around him.

Mai was clinging to Tysone's arm for dear life. She could feel the cold sweat dripping off of him, and her grip tightened even more.

Saya took an unsteady step backwards, but Miku’s hand shot out to keep her upright and from losing balance. Tysone didn't delay much longer; he had been preparing for this situation ever since he opened his eyes in this world. "Listen to me very caref...

Chapter 018: The Assassin named Lady Vic

Adrian sat frozen in the diner as the screams outside faded into an eerie silence. Rico and Luis scrambled to their feet, pulling guns from their belts, their earlier bravado replaced with raw fear.  

“Everyone outside, now!” Carlos barked, his voice sharp and commanding. “We’ve got a hit on us. No one hides. If you run, you’re dead.”  

Adrian nodded along, playing the part. If he made any sudden moves, they’d shoot him before he even made it out ...

Chapter no.58: Inner Hell

Saeko’s eyes fluttered open, her senses immediately on edge. The room around her was eerily empty—a sterile, white classroom with no desks, no chairs, just the faint hum of fluorescent lights above her. She sat up slowly, her hand instinctively reaching for the sheath at her side. Her katana was there, its weight a familiar comfort.

Where am I? she thought, her violet eyes narrowing as she scanned the barren room. The air felt thick, like a storm was about to break, bu...

Chapter 017: Life in Blüdhaven

Blüdhaven.

If Gotham was a crumbling cathedral of crime, Blüdhaven was its neglected younger sibling, darker and filthier, with none of Gotham’s flair for theatrics. The air here was thick with salt and rot from the harbor, mingling with the ever-present stench of sweat, oil, and despair. The city was a web of narrow streets, crumbling tenements, and neon-lit dive bars that hid gang deals in their back rooms.

It was exactly the kind of place Adrian Wells needed right ...

New Dawn Chapter: 050

                                  "True Beginning"





Tysone paid more attention to the passing of days. Everything seemed so normal and casual that it felt unbearable. Every time he went out, he kept a keen eye on the passers-by. Wouldn't it be tragic if he ended up being the ver...

Chapter 016: A hero's "Failure"

Batgirl’s head snapped toward the sound, her breath catching in her throat.  

Maya stood at the edge of the platform, trembling, her hand shaking as it gripped a gun. Sitting on her shoulder was a G-Gnome, its glowing red eyes staring at Batgirl with cold intent. The creature’s horns glowed faintly, and Maya’s face twisted in silent anguish as she fought to resist the invasive control.  

Maya’s wide, tear-filled eyes locked onto hers, desperate and plea...

Chapter 015: Batgirl vs Guardian

The underground train station echoed with the distant hum of electricity and the muffled chaos above. Maya clutched her side, catching her breath as she leaned against a column. Her scarf had fallen loose, and her hair clung to her sweat-dampened forehead. The crowd had thinned, panicked civilians scattering to find shelter, leaving the station eerily quiet.

Batgirl stood in front of her, a protective barrier between Maya and the advancing Guardian. His golden helmet gleamed under the f...

New Dawn Chapter: 049

The episode at Miku’s house had left her a bit dispirited, but ultimately served as a valuable stepping stone for growth. 

Of course, that didn’t mean that Miku had escaped the ridicule in school. While her treatment didn’t worsen, neither did her tormentors disappear overnight. Tysone wondered if going so far for Miku was worth it, especially with the apocalypse so close, but eventually decided to double down on her. 

"Miku, remember to do as we discussed these da...

Chapter 014: Batgirl's Hunt

The Justice League Watchtower hung silently in orbit, a sleek sentinel above Earth’s surface. Its central tower rose high, surrounded by curved rings housing command centers, observation decks, and living quarters. Smaller satellites hovered nearby, blinking faintly like distant stars. Once a Green Lantern base, it had been transformed into the heart of the Justice League’s operations, its technology surpassing anything humanity alone could have created.

At its core stood the Zeta-B...

New Dawn Chapter: 048

She gripped her drink tightly, trying to suppress the anxious tremble in her hands. 

“What if they just… get worse? What if it backfires?”

Tysone let out a short snort. "If you don't do something now, it's only a matter of time before this goes way beyond the family room."

Miku twisted a lock of hair between her fingers. After a few moments of chewing on the inside of her mouth and playing with a lock of hair, Miku moved as if she was about to stand up. 2025-01-07 01:20:26 +0000 UTC View Post

DC: Crystalizing Chapter: 013

The city was draped in shadows, its distant lights twinkling like faint stars against the encroaching darkness. Maya’s apartment was quiet, save for the occasional hum of a passing car on the street below. She sat on the edge of her couch, staring at the window as the deep orange glow of sunset faded into a cool indigo.

It had been 18 hours since Adrian left. She’d counted every one of them. He must be in Blüdhaven by now, she thought, her fingers absentmindedly playing with the fr...

New Dawn Chapter: 047

“H-How…” Miku croaked out. Tysone didn’t give the impression he was joking around, unless he was doing this out of some spite-driven pettiness. Even then, why would he go so far, knowing full well how unlikely all this sounded.

Even so, Miku believed him. She didn’t exactly understand what this whole Puberty Syndrome meant, nor what was happening around her, or how in the world was Tysone proposing to fix all of her problems, and yet—her gut was telling her to trust him.

New Dawn Chapter: 046

Their order was soon served by a waiter who eyed them suspiciously—he probably wondered what the earlier ruckus was about, but smoothly left without prying.

Good.

As the aroma of a fragrant cup of tea wafted in the air, the smell of freshly-baked brioches, chocolate tarts, and cheesecakes filled the ambience, Miku studied him carefully. "Since you brought me all the way here, doesn't it mean that you must have some idea?" She asked softly, eyes hard.

“Maybe I do.” Tyso...

New Dawn Chapter: 045

The cracks in the sidewalks were filled with water, with growing, rippling puddles by the side of them. 

It was a rainy day when Tysone chanced upon Miku—though the word ‘chanced’ here was unashamedly misleading since he had been waiting for her right outside the school’s gates.

'It's been raining a lot these days...' 

One look at the sky would tell anyone that the dark curtain overhead wouldn’t let up anytime soon. 

He instinctively f...

New Dawn Chapter: 044

Mai considered his words.

"Let me contact some people first. I have the general idea of what you want. If I see some possibilities, I'll give you a call." She stated simply.

"Thank you."

"......"

Mai went quiet. She stared at Tysone's back, which was so much wider than she remembered. Not much changed with him. He was taller, perhaps a bit more muscular. A lot more muscular, actually. But he kind of always has been. Definitely stronger.

"You really are acting dif...
