When a young Egyptian scientist named Adel is caught in a catastrophic uranium experiment, his life is forever changed-his body fused with the Earth's core energy, granting him impossible powers: the ability to fly at supersonic speed, heal with a touch, and transmute metal into gold.
But the cost is unimaginable.
In the process, Adel accidentally traps his cousin Solomon in the sealed lab, and his life becomes a fugitive tale-sent to America by his scientist parents, hiding his abilities from a world that would exploit them. Working as a quiet banker in the shadows of New York, Adel tries to stay invisible... until the 2008 financial collapse awakens something deeper in him: justice.
By night, he becomes a vigilante-redistributing stolen wealth from corrupt elites to those devastated by greed. But his actions awaken the eyes of global powers-and the fractured Earth itself.
As Adel uncovers ancient rifts across the planet leaking raw cosmic energy, he joins with other elemental guardians to heal the planet. But in doing so, he awakens an old enemy... Solomon, reborn and weaponized by a secret project known only as Orpheus.
What begins as a mission of redemption becomes a battle for Earth's soul.
Will Adel restore balance-or watch the world collapse into engineered chaos?

Vampiric Soldier in a Cultivation World [ISEKAI & LitRPG]
After a decade of investment in a certain project of his and nothing to show for it, the man had began to give up hope. Immortality was still as far away as ever, and his ill-gotten gains had served no purpose as of yet. One day however, while he was going over his researcher's records in the lab, a tiny little wormhole appeared in front of him, rapidly shrinking from 3 meters in size down to nothingness. With little time to think about how this was even possible, and having nearly lost all hope on his current project on Earth, the man made the unthinkable decision. Leaving everything he had worked so hard for behind, and possibly even throwing away his life, he decisively stepped into the wormhole before it could disappear. Once he opened his eyes, the man found that he had aged by 30 years, but with no memories to show for it. It wouldn't stay this way for long however, as his missing memories started to return to him in a rapid fashion. Thrust into a magical world of cultivation, the opportunity to fulfil his dream had appeared in front of him. Will the man, now named Gaston according to one of his first memories, be able to survive his present circumstances and step foot into this magical world, or will he lose his life in the process? ----- Update Schedule: 5 Chapters a week (2x the size of the first 43), Mon and Tue off. ---------- 💌 Support me on Patreon to access 25+ future chapters and exclusive content: patreon.com/FilDus

The Superior Rebirth: A Hero's Awakening
He was stolen before he could be named. Experimented on before he could walk. And somewhere in the shadows - an enemy has been watching him ever since. Xavier didn't choose this life. He didn't choose the prophecy, the power, or the war closing in around him. What he did choose - what he chooses every single day - are the ideals his father gave him: that love is worth dying for, and that protecting others is reason enough to keep standing. But the force hunting Xavier's world has been preparing for decades. Patient. Methodical. Always smiling. Its ambition doesn't stop at conquest or empire - it reaches for godhood itself, for the power to rewrite reality and remake the world in the image of one man's vision. A world where only the worthy survive. Where he alone decides what worthy means. One boy carrying his father's ideals. One genius who believes his vision justifies every cost. And between them - a question that cuts deeper than any blade: Is Xavier a hero because fate decided he would be? Or because he chose to be, despite everything it costs him? The Superior Rebirth is a dark fantasy epic about heroism, love, sacrifice, and the difference between the destiny you're handed and the one you carve out yourself - set against the smoke and ambition of an industrial age where power is the only currency that matters. This is not a story about becoming powerful. It is a story about becoming worthy of the people who believed in you.
