Shadow rank ~#507 in Psychological↓1

The world’s evolving. The System is waking up. And it already sees Alexander as a threat. Alexander died and woke up in a world not so different from his own. Except for the aliens. And the superhumans. He's looking forward to meeting an alien. Supes? Not so much. See, somehow he’s become a villain. Worse, he’s put together a supervillain team. And now every superhero and bounty hunter in the country is after him. But at least he’s made some damn good friends along the way. Besides, what’s the point of having superpowers if you don’t intend to do something with them? It’s a world where the rich and powerful get away with murder, and heroes cause as much destruction as the bad guys. Alexander’s going to change that, no matter the cost. And at the center of all the madness is something no one truly understands: A System, still being born. Shaped by humanity's hopes and dreams. Greed and ambition. Not to mention the desperation. And it doesn't just want this world.  It wants all of them. What to expect: From weak to strong to godlike; a relentless climb in power and mastery An antagonistic System slowly expanding its reach, seeking to control all things Slow-burn reveals with Multiversal stakes, and layers of mystery to unravel Gritty, character-driven progression fantasy in a soft sci-fi universe A sharp, tactical protagonist growing into his role while bending the System to his will Superpowers, cybernetics, starships, and magic Found family, morally grey decisions, and the cost of ambition Frequent updates: Monday to Friday
