What does it take to change the world?  Bravery? Dedication? Money? Or something... more?  

It is the near future, in a world populated with both regular people and superpowered individuals. It is a world recognizable as the one we may already be living in: a world readying itself for something to happen, although  nobody is quite sure what.   

A rabble-rouser on the 'net named Hemingway Poe has been stirring up trouble, encouraging people to gather in protest and to critically examine the world they have created.  Poe, who may or may not be real and may not even be just one man, sets off a string of protests that threatens to disrupt the global economy and the precarious balance  of power between governments, corporations, and individuals.

Taking advantage of the disruption, paramilitary forces seize the Elevators that help supply near-Earth orbit space stations with food and supplies; a group of insurgents co-opts corporate lawyers to find The Repeating  Man,  who can literally turn back time and redo it.  The man who could stop them, Matthew, is the head of Finis Industries and one of the smartest, richest men in the world, but he is distracted by his attempts to save his sister, and by his dedication to protecting the world from the release of the deadly diseases let loose by the privatization of the United States' military.

As all that happens, a deadly monster named Titan is unleashed on Hong Kong, an evil mastermind seizes a chemical that has the power to turn people into godlike creatures, and a 12-year-old girl with magical powers must battle a deranged witch who wants to use ghosts to blast open the doors between dimensions.

An epic story of humanity, redemption, revolution, and hope -- "Les MIserable" as acted out by the Xmen.

This is not an Apocalypse by 01Honeybadger

The world is changing, two years ago strange weather, various anomalies and strange creatures started appearing from nowhere all over the world. Some creatures were completely alien and others were familiar looking as if they'd stepped from myth and legend. What many of these creatures had in common however was their aggressive nature and predatory instinct. Things that go bump in the night, that shifting shadow in the dark alley way, the cracking branch right behind you. Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land. Monsters. That isn't the only change in a new world however, humans have also changed. Some unknown phenomenon has granted humanity access to incredible power. The very elements themselves can now be wielded by those willing to risk the dangers. Earth, wind, fire, water, suddenly magic has become possible in a modern world and there are many who are eager to develop and embrace their newfound power and help protect their fellow man from monsters. There are also many who are willing to make a profit from newfound opportunities this changing world provides. Unfortunately for our MC Jack, embracing newfound power and going out to valiantly battle monsters isn't quite as simple as most other people have it. He possesses the rare and not so sought after lightning element, considered the weakest element for certain reasons, pitied and looked down upon Jack is determined to become a successful monster hunter in a more and more dangerous world. A slow burn story with world building, dungeon delving, character progression, Litrpg elements and more. WARNING - The MC is not a Mary Sue, he is not super competent, or super powerful or super intelligent nor a paragon of virtue, just a normal guy in a not so normal situation and him growing to deal with it in his own way.

The Altered. by _fiinch_

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

Griidlords: Bloodsword Saga Book 1: A Throne for a Blood Prince by TomWrath

The world started anew 802 years ago. After unknown centuries of barbarism following The Fall of the old civilization, the first Towers rose from the ground in the ruins of ancient cities like Chicago and Phoenix. With the rise of the Towers came a measure of control over the Entropy that covered the lands. Where, before, this chaotic energy prevented any technology more complicated than a bow and arrow from functioning, suddenly the Order Fields of the Towers allowed cities to banish Entropy to varying degrees; allowing steam engines and muskets, or with higher Order, even assault rifles and electricity to be returned to the hands of humanity. With the rise of the Towers came something more than control of Order and Entropy. With the rise of the Towers came THE GRIIDLORDS. Each city was granted 5 Griidsuits, making superheroes of their wearers, individuals with remarkable powers, each the match of a 1000 fighting men. Tiberius has been pushed to compete for the Sword of Boston by his father.

Tiberius must compete against the sons and daughters of noble houses. These youths that have been trained by the finest tutors. These youths come from lines of Griidlords themselves, they see the suit as their birthright. These youths come from a class that disdains the very notion of a commoner competing for the suit, no matter his wealth. Tiberius must navigate his own doubts, his own inadequacy, and see if he can grow enough in the precious days of the Choosing to become worthy of becoming The Sword of Boston.
