Humanity is not alone in the universe. More specifically Earth is not alone.
It is an age of wonder for humanity. For all but a few. Our history has been altered, according to one who has visions of the fractured world that could have been but never was. The way history would have played out without an intergalactic coalition of humans visiting Earth. And he cannot decide whether the advanced human's arrival is really all that it seems. Whether we would have been better off as things are now, or with how his visions tell him things ought to have been.
There are multiple worlds colonized by a vast space faring technologically and biologically enhanced human race all across the galaxy. Earth is just one of many of such colonies. At some point in our forgotten past Earth was cut off from our intergalactic neighbors and decides to fend for herself.
Later we lose ourselves to infighting and nationalism instead of being true to our nature of being a space dwelling, intergalactic human cooperative.
Now our space cousins are reestablishing contact with Earth. Bringing their superpower enabled, technological mastery of science so advanced as to seem supernatural. Eliminating slavery, wars, crime, diseases, climate shifts, and currency, with their arrival. Offering the promise of entry into a thriving united galactic empire.
(I am dropping in from time to time updating the story with fresh ideas as they pop into my head this is so very much a first draft I have not even decided on names for some of the characters or different factions of humans that are to be encountered from beyond our solar system)

Symbol of Hope
He was created for one purpose: to kill Superman should he stray. To replace him should he perish. But in a world that has never known Superman, what is a weapon without its target? In a desperate bid for freedom, Superboy breaks free of Cadmus only to be torn from the very world that he had known and hurled into the chaotic and unrelenting landscape of Earth Bet. He crashes into a reality unlike anything he's ever known, a world fractured by conflict, ruled by capes, bound by rules he cannot fathom and threatened by enemies far stronger than himself. His arrival is cataclysmic. A city left burning in the wake of his battle against Blockbuster, the monstrous scientist who created him. Superboy's strength is immense, his power awe-inspiring, but here in a world teeming with legends, he was no God. He is a stranger. Alone, outmatched and utterly lost. Earth Bet was a world foreign to him, a volatile amalgamation of powers and ideologies. A world where heroism is a fragile mask and trust is a dangerous gamble. As Superboy wrestles with his place among the capes of this strange new realm, one truth looms over him; there is no Superman. In a world without Superman, hope hangs by a thread and Superboy must decide whether to break it or hold it together. -X- Just to let you know, this isn't just Worm, but also MHA and OPM combined into one. There is no Saitama as he break the power scaling. But the characters of the rest of the series will be present. I will also be combining many more worlds into this as we go on in part due to how Superboy ends up in this world.
Mankinds last Silhouette
Empire. At the end only Empire remains. No matter how many times you rebel Empire remains. No matter how many times you fight for your democratic Empire remains. Now bend for your emperorr. Welcome readers to my fantasy world. I have brought you something beyond the constraints of my imagination, and I wonder if many are ready for it; however, a good story must be told, and I am fortunate to be the one to tell it. Imagine a world where the vile nature of mankind creeps its ugly head as humanity faces its first and last major catastrophe. The world plunged into everlasting darkness, entrenched in chaos and disorder, where hope is a distant flitting memory. The story I propose to my fellow readers follows Anthony Verdun, who was only a boy when all he knew was taken from him in an instant. Like many others, on that day, those who survived lost a part of themselves, forever scarred by the family, friends, and loved ones they lost. Their lives changed forever; how could it not? I welcome you to join the world I have created, indulge in this hypothetical, and dive into this what-if. What that is, well, you would have to read to find out.

Hero Time (Composite Ben 10 reader x Multiple Crossovers)
"In a world where Grimm, Danger Beasts, Monsters, and notorious villains run rampant, there are those who stand against them. Benders, Huntsmen, Heroes, people who have the power to fight them, for the sole purpose of defending the innocent. At least some of them. Other guys just want to prove how powerful they are, and push around people without powers. I learned that the hard way. My name is Y/n Tennyson. I'm 20 years old, and I am in possession of the most powerful alien weapons, in the universe. When I was little, people like Bakugo and Issei picked on me everyday, just because I was too powerless to do anything. So one day, I decided to drop out of Union Academy and went on a cross country road trip with my grandpa and cousin. Then on our first stop, I went out on a walk where a meteor fell out of the sky and crashed right in front of me. But, as it turns out, it wasn't a meteor, but a pod containing a watch that, once stuck upon your wrist, could turn you into any alien you want. Needless to say that my life went uphill from there. I traveled across the galaxy, saved it from blowing up. Fought a giant alien, AS a giant alien. Stopped a race from destroying the universe. Blew up my watch. Got a new one. Dated a tennis player, and broke up with her. Fought a giant alien, as a giant alien AGAIN, this time in Tokyo. Killed an interdimensional demon along with my archnemesis. And made friends with a Slimebiote named Skurd. Now me and my friends are unlicensed heroes who defend the world from destruction. Mainly because it's the right thing to do, but partially to show Union Academy what kind of hero I am now. And I can't wait to see the look on their faces."

Humanity Endures
Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

Victorious
Brandon Grant has never been ordinary, even before he was given significant power. Grandson of Zeus, heir to a fading dynasty, he has walked among humanity carrying a spark of generations in his soul. For sixteen years he has lived in the shadows, but the stars are calling, and destiny will no longer wait. This isn't just the rise of a hero-it's the dawn of a cosmic symphony, an odyssey written in lightning across nebulae and galaxies. The stage is set, the curtain lifts, and from the storm of worlds, a single question emerges... will he be Victorious? **Disclaimer** **Disclaimer** **Disclaimer** Throughout this universe I talk about a multitude of topics, religion, racism, drug use, Philosophy, abuse and a variety of triggers, I ask that if anyone takes the time to read this to understand that none of the negative aspects of humanity fall into my core beliefs as a human being, but rather are used in the overall grand scheme of storytelling. I DO NOT condone discrimination, abuse, torture, drug use, racism in any way, and I would appreciate if we treat everyone with respect, my work is not a dogma to spread hate or misinformation. This story is an embellished retelling of childhood events from my life and my friends. If anyone feels offended or finds themselves triggered by any of these topics I implore you to put your mental health above all else. Thank you for your time!
The Blood Order
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.
