The Runic Protocol

In a galaxy where high-tech colonization meets the primal forces of the void, survival is a matter of frequency. S-17 was born in the silence of a deep-space laboratory, a "vessel" forged through the cruel Evolution Adaptation experiments of the sinister Dr. Thorne. Augmented with reinforced bone density and a mind capable of processing infinite data, he was designed to be the ultimate survivor. But when he is discarded onto the surface of Xylos, he discovers a power the scientists could never replicate. Xylos is a world saturated with Aether—a primal, raw energy that flows through the air, the beasts, and the planet’s crystalline core. While most require years of grueling discipline to learn Vibration—the rare ability to sense and influence the Aether—S-17 perceives it instinctively as "ripples" in the world around him.

Memory of Heaven

Love is not illegal in this universe. It is simply not allowed to exist. When an Overseer of Reality falls in love with a girl meant to die, causality begins to fracture—and the universe starts preparing to erase them both. *** In a universe governed by function, efficiency, and cosmic law, love is an anomaly no system can quantify. Fitran is an Overseer of Reality—an executor of balance tasked with maintaining causality across worlds. He was never meant to choose, hesitate, or care. Rinoa is a fractured soul, rewritten across eras and timelines, engineered to become a necessary martyr—a sacrifice required to keep reality stable. Together, they are a contradiction. Every time they hold hands, probability falters. Every time they separate, the universe stabilizes. As ancient machine gods awaken, angels descend to enforce order, and the Void turns its attention toward Earth, one truth becomes unavoidable: The universe does not fear war. It does not fear extinction. It fears a love that breaks meaning itself. This is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about choosing love in a reality that would rather collapse than allow it.

You brought face powder to a freaking firefight?” she muttered, counting the last few bullets in her magazine. Orn smiled and patted her own cheek. “I’m not dying ugly!” Janya let out a deep sigh and glanced at the girl beside her, who was busy applying lipstick. “What kind of stupid logic is that?!” “Content creator logic.” Orn winked. “Trauma first, go viral later, P’Kirin.” Janya briefly stared up at the sky as bullets whizzed towards them. For a split second, she considered giving up on life altogether. “If we make it out alive,” she said quietly, “I’m leaving you in the middle of the jungle. For real this time!”

JJK: Starting with the Dog and Dragon Talismans

Levi drops into Shibuya on the worst night imaginable—with no cursed energy, no sorcerer pedigree, and two relics from another world. The Dog Talisman makes him unaging and nearly impossible to kill. The Dragon Talisman turns every strike into explosive dragon fire. Unfortunately, Sukuna has awakened, and Levi has landed directly in the path of the King of Curses. A gray mist soon links him to other Levis: Jujutsu Levi in the cursed battlefield, Night City Levi with cyberware and street-born instincts, Wizarding Levi with spellcraft, and Marvel-Vought Levi surviving a world of heroes, corporations, and monsters. Their memories and powers bleed together, merging talisman magic, cursed energy, cybernetics, and sorcery into a path no canon script can predict. As cursed spirits, ancient sorcerers, and hidden masterminds close in, Levi refuses to follow the doomed timeline. He will exploit every loophole, protect the people he chooses, and discover how far an immortal body can evolve when he learns to breathe dragon fire.
