Flash Infinity

marvel_stark
Barry Allen was supposed to be ordinary. A fresh college graduate working his first months as a CSI in Central City, living paycheck to paycheck in a cramped apartment, still haunted by the car crash that orphaned him as a child. That was the plan. A simple life. Then he woke up with memories that weren't his own. A DC fanboy from another world now inhabits Barry Allen's body, armed with knowledge of a future that hasn't happened yet and an understanding of a universe most people think is fiction. But this isn't the timeline he remembers. There's no Reverse-Flash. No time travel murder. No Harrison Wells with secret agendas. Just the natural flow of a world where heroes exist in the shadows and the Justice League is still years from forming. But knowledge is power, and this new Barry Allen refuses to waste it. Oliver Queen's yacht will sink in two weeks. The particle accelerator is years away. Clifford DeVoe hasn't built his Thinking Cap. Lian Yu still holds its secrets. And Barry? He's done being weak. Done being ordinary. Done waiting for lightning to strike. With an enhanced intellect he's only beginning to understand, he starts building an empire from nothing. Money. Power. Skills. He'll master combat on a deadly island, steal research from future villains, and engineer his own transformation into something the multiverse has never seen. Seven abilities. Multiple forces. Perfect optimization. When that particle accelerator finally explodes, Barry Allen won't just become a hero. He'll become inevitable. This is the story of a man who refused to let fate write his story. Who looked at the Speed Force and said "not enough." Who turned foreknowledge into an empire and preparation into godhood. The Flash was supposed to be a hero born from tragedy and chance. This Flash? He's something built with purpose. And the DC Universe will never be the same.

Starting With SSS-rank: I Get A New Skill Every Livestream

One day, I decided to end my short livestreaming career. Not that I had ever started it with the intention of earning money. My life had hit rock bottom: a disappointment to my family, painfully average in academics, buried under massive debt after my company failed, and to top it all off, the one person who had been my emotional support, my loving girlfriend, cheated on me. Yes, life had turned into hell. So I chose to cut off all distractions and focus solely on my studies. However, the moment I went live to announce my decision, the few viewers I had exploded in rage. [There will be slaughter! Whoever made my Kyle sad deserves to burn in hell!] [My time with Kyle… gone… that demands… massacre.] [Kyle… Kyle… don’t go…] Then came a suggestion. [I have sent a gift for you. I hope that helps change your mind.] That gift, sent by one of my regular viewers, completely changed my life. I learned that the world I lived in wasn’t as simple as I had believed. Nightmares, shadows, ghouls, curses… they were as real as humans. And with the blessing I received, I became part of that hidden world. On top of that, I received a system that sometimes rewards me simply for existing. It’s crazy. The viewers I thought were just regular people were all deities. •••••••• A/N: For the first few arcs, the protagonist will operate in secrecy, and there is a good reason for it. The main character will experience sudden growth in strength, as this story isn’t about gradual power-building but about personal connections and slice of life. Expect heavy slice of life in this one. And please read through the free chapters before passing judgment. https://ko-fi.com/rashcore

The Comfort Of Story and Reality

Sathyamoorthy, a bank manager in Chennai who secretly writes fiction under the name Ashok Chakravarthy, becomes unexpectedly entangled in real-life political danger when he meets Lakshmi Rajyam—a missing Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh—under chaotic circumstances on a Vijayawada highway. Lakshmi is fleeing an internal betrayal: her trusted security detail has been compromised, and an assassination attempt linked to a deeper political and administrative conspiracy forces her into hiding. With no official identity she can safely use, she crosses states in disguise and fatefully meets Sathyamoorthy, who unknowingly becomes her protector. What begins as a chance encounter turns into an extended covert survival journey. Lakshmi is moved through trains, metro lines, and safe house-like conditions in Chennai, where Sathyamoorthy and his wife Meenakshi help conceal her identity. Meanwhile, Lakshmi gradually reveals her past—her evolution from a Kuchipudi dancer in Vijayawada to a socially driven reformer, and eventually to a Chief Minister whose policies threatened entrenched political and corruption networks. As Lakshmi narrates her life in fragmented conversations during their confinement, the group uncovers that the attack on her was not random—it was a coordinated attempt to neutralize her as a “convergence point” of reform, power, and administrative restructuring. Her disappearance triggers controlled media leaks, suggesting internal surveillance leaks or information interception, increasing the pressure on the group. Simultaneously, Sathyamoorthy investigates how her location was leaked despite limited communication, realizing the presence of a structured monitoring system feeding selective intelligence into media and agencies. Inside the house, life continues to evolve unexpectedly: Meenakshi becomes pregnant, adding a deeply personal dimension to the crisis, while Lakshmi begins caring for her, shifting from a political leader to a protective presence within the household. Lakshmi also reconnects briefly with her younger sister Haripriya, carefully managing information to avoid exposing her. However, even this limited communication contributes to a suspicious leak pattern, suggesting that the surveillance network may already be mapping emotional and relational connections. As external pressure builds, the apartment becomes a controlled survival space where strategy replaces normal life. The group begins shifting from hiding to “controlled visibility,” attempting to manage perception rather than disappear completely. Lakshmi continues revealing her political past to Meenakshi, explaining how her rise was driven not by ambition but by systemic failures she could no longer fix from outside. Her entry into politics was shaped by escalating corruption, institutional resistance, and a tragedy that made her realize structural change was necessary. However, her reforms threatened powerful networks, leading to her current crisis. By the present stage of the story, the system searching for her has begun narrowing its focus toward Chennai, relying on pattern-based tracking rather than direct surveillance. The group realizes they are no longer invisible—they are inside an active convergence of investigation and inference. The story now stands at a critical point: Lakshmi is partially safe but increasingly mapped by an unseen system, Sathyamoorthy is investigating the leak behind her exposure, Meenakshi is adapting to sudden motherhood amidst crisis, and all of them are trapped in a fragile balance between survival and discovery.
