One Piece: Northern Star Legends #3

Perched on the creaky wooden bed, Blake winced as he carefully applied bandages to his tender ribs. It was a makeshift remedy, far from the professional care he would have preferred, but luxuries like medical assistance were nonexistent aboard the Cutthroat Pirates' vessel.

Even if there had been a doctor among them, Blake doubted they would spare the effort to tend to his injuries. It had been nearly an hour since the Tutorial System activated and assigned him his mission, and Blake w...

One Piece: Northern Star Legends #2

As I gradually regained consciousness, a sharp pang shot through my body, causing me to groan in discomfort as I blinked my eyes open. The ache in my ribs felt as though they'd been thoroughly battered, and my insides seemed jumbled.

"What a dreadful nightmare," I muttered, massaging my throbbing temples. It had been ages since I'd endured such a thrashing. The memory of my early martial arts days resurfaced, a time when I let my temper get the better of me, resulting in a harsh beatin...

One Piece: Northern Star Legends #1

In the frigid waters of North Blue, a weathered caravel swayed, its tattered black flag dancing in the cold breeze. Atop the main deck, a scrawny youth with unkempt black hair and lifeless eyes toiled away, the chill of the ocean biting at his skin. Despite the worn fabric clinging to his frame, remnants of intricate designs hinted at a past of privilege and wealth.

None aboard the pirate vessel knew the youth's origins or background, only that his timid demeanor and musical tale...

The Future

Hey there, fellow fans!

So, here we are at the end of this DC fan fic journey. It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that this is where it wraps up. I might add one or two chapters, briefly going over what Micah went through after the battle with Metron, but that's for the future.

First off, I want to say a huge thanks to all of you who have been reading along, leaving comments, and supporting this little venture of mine. Your e...

DC: System Shock #97

The hologram scratched its head sheepishly in response to Micah's inquiry, a flicker of embarrassment crossing its features. "Well, it wasn't too terrible," it admitted, its tone slightly apologetic. "The contract essentially forbids me from meddling with the fundamental forces of the universe," it clarified, its holographic form shimmering slightly with the weight of the revelation.

Micah's brow furrowed with curiosity as he leaned in, his interest piqued. "The fundamental forces? What...

DC: System Shock #96

Surveying the vacant Mobius Chair, Micah's lips curled into a satisfied smile. The chair wasn't just a mere object; it was the spoils of his strategic prowess and the hurdles he had overcome.

Its capabilities were nothing short of awe-inspiring—time and space manipulation at a mere thought, sophisticated holographic projections for tactical advantage, and an impenetrable force field capable of containing even the most formidable foes.

"As much as I hate to admit it, this...

DC: System Shock #95

Observing Metron's desperate struggle to contain the volatile pocket dimension, I couldn't contain my amusement. My grin stretched wider as I met his panicked gaze, his supposedly all-seeing eyes filled with dread. With a nonchalant shrug, I withdrew my hands from my pockets, a mischievous glint in my eyes.

Metron's eyes widened in disbelief at my casual demeanor. "What on earth do you think you're doing? Have you completely lost your mind?" he demanded, his voice tinged with urgency. 2024-04-06 09:26:46 +0000 UTC View Post

"Well? I'm waiting," Micah interjected impatiently, raising an eyebrow in anticipation. Metron, ever composed, embarked on his explanation.

"It may be challenging to accept, even for me, but I did not stumble upon the origin of your power through my own inquiries. Someone informed me..." he trailed off, leaving a notable pause hanging in the air. "And that informant is none other than yourself," he declared matter-of-factly, his tone unwavering.

Micah stared at Metron incredulous...

DC: System Shock #93

With Parasite looming before him, hungering for his powers, Micah grinned mischievously. "You want my powers, huh? Well, you're in luck, buddy," he said, his tone dripping with faux sincerity. "I'll give you all the powers you desire and then some."

Parasite's eyes widened with skepticism, but the allure of more power proved too tempting to resist. "And what's the catch?" he asked, his voice tinged with suspicion.

Micah shrugged nonchalantly. "No catch, my friend. Just a gift from...

DC: System Shock #92

Arching an eyebrow, I peered down at Ras Al Ghul, his green robes billowing in the chilly breeze. "You were just a pawn in someone else's game, weren't you?" I quipped, scratching my chin as if solving some great mystery.

Ras Al Ghul let out a derisive snort. "What would I possibly gain by sacrificing my followers?" he retorted, his voice tinged with arrogance. "I only target those who pose a threat to me and my cause... but you never stopped to consider that, did you?" he countered, hi...

DC: System Shock #91

"So, it's not just Ras al Ghul and Grodd throwing a party, but even Sinestro and his minions crashing in," I mused, squinting at the shimmering yellow force field trapping me. "Talk about gate-crashers..."

The barrier crackled with energy, pulsating with an ominous glow that seemed to mock my attempts to break free. It wasn't just any force field—it was infused with a strange power, one that seemed intent on severing my connection to space.

With an exasperated sigh...

Unfortunate Accident

Hello friends. I'm sure you were waiting for a new chapter and wondering where there hasn't been any update for the past couple of days... well I'm here to explain.

The unfortunate and extremely embarrassing truth is that I've been involved in an accident that started with chasing after a runaway ping pong ball while playing with my friend, slipping on wet ground, performing the most epic and embarassing case of accidental splits, and getting a lower-body-full of bruises and cram...

DC: System Shock #90

Shifting my attention away from the horde of assassins swarming me, I turned to Gorilla Grodd and couldn't help but crack a smirk. There he was, the oversized, not-so-bright ape, flat on his back, eyes rolled back, and foaming at the mouth. Meanwhile, Rattigan, the rat extraordinaire, lounged over his back, casually scratching his rear end like he owned the place.

Sure, I could have handled Grodd myself, but where's the fun in that? Besides, it wouldn't have been enough payback f...

DC: System Shock #89

Nestled amidst the pristine expanse of the Greenland Ice Sheet, an unforgiving landscape untouched by human hands, lay Ras Al Ghul's clandestine stronghold—the final bastion housing his Lazarus Pit. Guarded by the stark white peaks of two snow-capped mountains, the base remained concealed from prying eyes, a fortress shrouded in secrecy within the icy wilderness.

Ras Al Ghul had summoned all remaining members of the League of Assassins to defend this pivotal location, a command that b...

DC: System Shock #88

Sitting behind his expansive desk within the LexCorp building, Lex Luthor observed the colossal screen in his office with a subtle smirk playing on his lips.

As Micah concluded his announcement on the screen, offering a bounty on Ras Al Ghul and revealing his plan to dismantle the last remaining base in a month's time, Luthor switched off the display just as Micah began fielding questions from the reporters.

Rubbing his chin in contemplation, Lex delved into his thoughts, ...

DC: System Shock #87

Micah let out a weary sigh as he scrutinized the two maps laid out before him. One was a flickering hologram projected from a spherical device, while the other was a seemingly hand-drawn map on an ancient piece of parchment.

Both maps were adorned with markers, representing Lazarus Pits. The hologram showed beeping red dots, while the parchment had dark wreathing stains. However, nearly all of these markers were crossed out, save for one in the center.

"Predictably, relying solel...

DC: System Shock #86

As the last of the young native's family disappeared through the shimmering portal, vanishing into the heart of New York City, a sly smirk crept across Micah's face. It was a rare expression, one that hadn't graced his features since he awakened his formidable bloodline a year ago.

He had orchestrated this moment meticulously, deliberately leaving the portal open while the young man fetched his family. Micah's aim was simple: to attract as much attention as possible in New Yo...

DC: System Shock #85

Observing Black Adam swing his fist once more, Micah inwardly sighed. Fighting such a formidable opponent in this situation was far from ideal, but it seemed he had little choice but to demonstrate his power. 

With determination coursing through him, Micah activated his bloodline, his skin transforming to a deep obsidian hue, twin horns sprouting from his forehead. Between them, a slit emerged, gradually widening to reveal a third eye resembling a portal to the cosmos, a...

DC: System Shock #84

"I'd hoped the secret society, or at least the Demon Head, would throw in the towel after taking enough losses," Micah remarked with a weary sigh, his fingers turning the space-stabilizing device over in his hand. 

"But they just kept doubling down, and now they're even developing countermeasures for my power... just how the hell did I manage to ruffle their feathers so badly?" He added, crushing the sphere in his palm. 

It seemed his ret...

DC: System Shock #83

The Skylux Tower, an epitome of opulence towering over New York, boasted of luxurious apartments fit for the elite. At its pinnacle sat the prestigious penthouse, a haven of extravagance complete with its own pool and a sprawling veranda. 

A young man reclined on a pool chair, clad in nothing but shorts, his gaze fixed upon the twinkling stars above. Nearby, a regal rat nibbled on a morsel, occasionally shooting disapproving glances at the man as if deeply dis...

DC: System Shock #82

Amidst the clutter of my room, with a floating system interface in front of me like some techno oracle, I descended deeper into the murky abyss known as Gacha hell. The screen taunted me with its absurd offerings, each purchase dragging me further into the pit of despair.

"Ah, pain, anguish, and despair," I muttered, staring at the screen as if it held the secrets of the universe. "Whoever came up with this evil creation is surely Satan's unwanted bastard. Even Satan himself ...

DC: System Shock #81

Lounging on my bed in the comfort of my apartment, I let my mind wander aimlessly, contemplating the mysteries of life while staring up at the ceiling. The idea of finding a new place had been on my mind for a while now. 

A bigger, more convenient spot sounded like a dream, but somehow, the time to make it happen had never quite materialized. Maybe tomorrow would be the day for some house-hunting adventures. But hey, I won't bore you with those mundane details.

DC: System Shock #80

Stepping into the loft at the apex of the greenhouse, I was greeted by a symphony of chaos, the sounds of a brawl reverberating through the room. Without missing a beat, I swung the door open, only to freeze as a guy stumbled toward me like he'd just had one too many.

I grabbed the dude by the shoulder, realizing he was more out cold than ready to rumble. With a shrug, I let him flop to the floor, his landing punctuated by a solid thud.

Pushing pas...

DC: System Shock #79

Author's note: this is something I wanted to add at the end of the previous cchapter, but I kinda forgot. Anyway, in the last chapter, there was something like a vision in the park about a young man and an older man sparring near a tree. It's not something important or related to the story in any way, so don't over think. It's just a simple refrence; if you get it then thats fine, if you dont, that's also fine.

"Figures..." I grumbled und...

DC: System Shock #78

Strolling through the majestic Gotham Park, I couldn't shake off this eerie feeling of déjà vu. Despite never setting foot here before, it felt like I'd clocked in hours wandering its paths. In the distance, I spotted a gloomy young man engaged in what looked like a losing battle with a rugged middle-aged fellow. 

They seemed locked in combat, but with a blink, they vanished into thin air, leaving me questioning my sanity. 

"Hallucinati...

DC: System Shock #77

Flying away from the Wayne mansion, I couldn't help but feel like I'd just been outsmarted by the ultimate smooth operator. Dealing with Bruce Wayne is like trying to outwit a chess grandmaster with a deck of Uno cards. I mean, seriously, the guy sees through my plans faster than I can say "universal cure for cancer."

When I pitched him the idea of teaming up on the cure, I wasn't feeling particularly charitable. I've got the cure ready to roll, so why share the profits with ...

DC: System Shock #76

Stepping into Livewire's studio, I was greeted by a crackling bolt of electricity that narrowly missed my head. "Is that any way to welcome your boss?" I quipped, dodging the stray arc with a raised eyebrow.

Livewire shot me a defiant glare, her hand crackling with energy. "You're not my boss, Micah," she retorted, her tone tinged with defiance. "If anything, I should be calling the shots around here."

I couldn't help but chuckle at her bravado. "Sure, boss l...

DC: System Shock #75

Author's note: sorry for the long absence, everyone. I'm now free and clear minded enough to continue writing, so you can expect a chapter a day as per usual. There's still relatives and friends coming from far away to visit from time to time, so I won't time to make up for the past week, but once everything settles down, I'll release a punch of double updates to make up for lost time. 

...

Placing my foot atop the crowned head of an oversized jellyfish,...

DC: System Shock #74

As I slowly emerged from the fog of unconsciousness on the sterile operation table, I couldn't deny the surge of vitality coursing through my veins. Sure, there was a lingering itchiness, but it was overshadowed by this newfound vigor. Before I could even fully appreciate it, a notification from the system rudely interrupted my moment of zen.

[You have attained the Atlantean Physiology. Would you like to incorporate it into the system?]

I furrowed my brow at ...

DC: System Shock #73

As I stood in the awe-inspiring grandeur of Poseidonis' throne room, I had to fight the urge to let my inner country bumpkin and comics geek run wild. I mean, seriously, I was standing in the throne room of Atlantis! The place was dripping with opulence, adorned with golden and blue decor, and supported by towering pillars that reached up to the heavens—or should I say, the ocean's surface.

The walls boasted gigantic windows that offered a breathtaking view of the underwate...
