ITHOE: Bastions of the universe
Sci-fi What would you do if you are blessed with great power by a cosmic entity?
Clarke is a homeless convict who has first contact with an alien on a backwater alleyway that was his temporary home. If the face of the reality of extraterrestrials he starts to doubt his sanity.
He is given an offer, the opportunity to become a scion, to inherit great power and an even greater responsibility. A Bastion of the universe to protect an entire galactic arm, a galactic region.
Even with an alien in clear sight his mind is filled with doubt. But he tentatively agrees.
He's almost forgotten about the visit, more focused on the hardship of his life, when he's pulled into a dreamscape of several powerful entities. There he's initiated into a society of universal heroes, a cosmic order of protectors.
His powers are bestowed, his training starts and with the great powers available to the Bastions he comes to learn all that is possible with his powers.
He is a Bastion of Genesis, an entity with the power to engender the beginning, that ontological orgin, of anything.
He obtains 100% mastery of his powers, but there's a caveat. It is against the principles of the Bastions for him to be given all that power at once.
He must start from the bottom. He has the mastery but it has been locked. To unlock them he must achieve great things, become a Bastion in truth in the sight of many.
For each achievements percentages of his great power will be unlocked and returned to him.
Now Clarke is left with an important question, what to do with such a great power?
He decides to take Earth by storm and assume the responsibility of a hero. Will he fail or will he fall? He does not know, but intends to do all he can to succeed even though he dies trying. You might like
Global Flood: I built a Doomsday Ark with a 10,000x Multiplier
Phoebe Luna Global Flood: I Built a Doomsday Ark with a 10,000x Multiplier
Leo Hart was kind, trusting, and rich, and that got him killed. When the Great Deluge drowned the world, his fiancée Sienna and best friend Trent stole his supplies and left him on a raft to be eaten alive by mutated crabs. Then he wakes up 45 days before the flood, with the system he needed all along: an Infinite Stasis Space where time stands still, and a Multiplier that can turn any stack of items into 10,000 times as many, once a day.
This time, Leo is cold, calculating, and utterly selfish. He leverages every loan he can get and multiplies water, food, steel, ammunition, and fuel into a hoard that could keep a hundred thousand people alive. He buys an ugly amphibious RV he calls the Nomad. While Sienna and Trent drain his accounts for a luxury vacation, he quietly documents their embezzlement. Then the flood hits, the world drowns, and Leo watches from his RV with a hot steak while they are trapped in a sinking hotel.
In the new world, clean water and hot meals are worth more than gold. Leo trades for Evolution Cores and watches Sienna's looks turn worthless as she starves. He upgrades the Nomad into an armored hover-yacht and recruits Kira, a lethal sniper who is no damsel and wants his resources, not his protection. Together they kill a giant mutant crocodile, annihilate the Iron Jaw pirate fleet, and starve out Trent's corrupt flotilla until he surrenders and scrubs Leo's bilge tanks. A dive into the Mariana Trench brings a nuclear submersible, then a final epic battle with the Abyssal Leviathan, where Kira lands the killing shot.
Leo absorbs the Leviathan's core and upgrades his ship into a floating fortress. He becomes the undisputed god-king of the ocean, with every faction bowing to his Sovereign Fleet. He started as the world's easiest mark and ends as the man who won the apocalypse. Doomsday: My Fortress levels up when I bond with heroines
Phoebe Luna On the night the Blood Moon rises, eighty percent of humanity turns into mindless Abyssals. Jax Calloway spent his first life protecting the survivors who then barred the gate and let him die.
He wakes three days before the apocalypse with the Sovereign Bond System. Through mutual, consensual Origin Bonds with Awakened women, Jax copies half of each woman's power, permanently raises his stats, and earns Sanctuary Points to upgrade his bunker into a fortress. Each heroine is lifted a full rank, made immune to Aether corruption, and given a place in his sanctuary. The catch: the upgrades that matter can only be unlocked by specific elemental affinities, so Jax cannot build alone.
He starts with Elena Whitmore, the haughty S-Rank Ice heiress abandoned by her own guards. Jax offers her a contract, not rescue, and the arrogant Ice Queen finds her pride melting into fierce devotion. As the fortress grows, he draws in Nyx, the silent Shadow assassin; Dr. Aris, the gentle healer freed from slavers; and Lyra, the feral Beast Tamer. Together they become a lethal, jealous, perfectly united family, and Jax becomes a multi-elemental god.
Their rise draws enemies: slaver factions, a world-ending Beast Tide, the coward who abandoned Elena, and finally Warlord Vance, a rival sovereign with a mind-control system who tries to turn Jax's women against him. The Sovereign Bond makes them immune, and Jax's harem destroys Vance's army in a face-slap the wasteland will never forget.
By the end, the bunker has become a floating citadel, and the man once left to die stands above a ruined world as its king.
