Batman Archive

[Daily Subtask: Reject the princess] "Just kill me already" ✦✦✦✦✦✦ Everyone in the world is guided by the Archive, a system created to push humanity to its peak through discipline, training, and pain. It watches. It measures. It never stops. When Kael wakes up in a new body, with no idea of how or why, he finds himself bound to a version of the Archive that feels... wrong. His tasks are strange. His penalties are brutal. And his rewards make no sense. While others train to become heroes or nobles, Kael just wants to be left alone. But fate, and the Archive have other plans. Thrown into the world’s most elite academy and forced to compete against the continent’s best, Kael finds himself walking a path he never asked for. One built by bloodlines, secrets, and a system that refuses to let him rest. He isn’t here to rise. He isn’t here to win. He just wants a nap. Too bad. The Archive is watching. Waiting to assign a new task.

You know, out of all the things that could have happened to me, finding out I've been Isekai'd into Murder Drones by waking up in the body of a drone kid who got his memory core critically damaged and lost his parents in the same attack that axed Doll's folks was not on the list of things I expected. Still, it's evidently what happened to me, and now I have to DO something about it. So. I have about 9 years before canon kicks off to prepare for the apocalypse, help Uzi and Doll work through all their issues and trauma, respectively, and figure out how my unhinged ass is going to be able to commit deicide, because as a robot I'm theoretically immortal, so screw anything that wants to cut that short. Queue my plan to cheat like the world is ending (because it will) by abusing the hell out of my meta-knowledge, downloading entire terrabytes of data on weapons, combat skills, and engineering, befriending the main cast so I can socially manipulate them into being better able to stop Armageddon, concocting plans to turn the Solver's Murder Pets, and generally do a Batman level of overpreparation in order to rig the game in my favor as much as physically possible, because goddamn, I REALLY don't want to die.

I was supposed to die with my family. Instead, I became the glitch in the system. In a future where memories are currency and myths are forbidden, Matherson lives in the shadow of a massacre. His family was erased by the Edenfall Regime—deleted from memory, from history, from existence. Now, years later, he emerges from the digital underground with one goal: burn the Archive that took everything. Haunted by ghosts of the past, hunted by the system that made him disappear, Matherson joins forces with a rogue AI, a conflicted spy, and a group of myth-touched outcasts to hack the world’s greatest weapon—truth. But the deeper he dives into Edenfall’s secrets, the more he realizes: some memories weren’t just stolen. They were rewritten. And in the war between forgetting and remembering, he might be the last myth left. The Archive Remembers is a high-stakes emotional sci-fi thriller about revenge, identity, and memory in a world that wants you to forget who you are.

After an ordinary evening ends in tragedy, Daniel dies in a hit-and-run accident. But death is not the end. A mysterious voice tells him his death was a mistake—and offers him a second chance in a different world. Reborn in Farlight, a world where magic exists but technology lags centuries behind, Daniel awakens with a unique tool: a system called Mono. It can guide him, help him learn, and even let him rebuild the knowledge and inventions of his old world.

“If Heaven will not crown me, I will rise anyway—fire and all.” Born a concubine’s daughter in the grand halls of Great Qi, Li Ziyan was expected to be silent, obedient, and invisible. Instead, she dared to dream — of justice, of change, of power denied to women like her. Cast out by her powerful family for a single act of defiance, she is left disgraced, alone… and furious. But exile is only the beginning. Joined by a fierce sword-wielding ally and a quiet apprentice with secrets of his own, Ziyan begins her journey as an outcast — building strength in the shadows, gathering allies among the forgotten, and uncovering ancient truths buried by a corrupt empire. Yet danger follows close behind. Someone from within her own bloodline wants her erased. A shadowy conspiracy tied to relics, legends, and forbidden orders hunts her every step. And deep within an abandoned monastery, Ziyan awakens something older than prophecy — a flame tied to the lost Phoenix Archive, and a power long denied to any woman. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Ziyan must choose: Will she remain a fugitive hunted by the past? Or will she rise from the ashes — and reclaim a destiny that even Heaven tried to steal?

The ancient evil god that sleeps in the abyss has awakened—an evil that always lurks in the hearts of humans, slowly corroding their minds until madness blooms within misery. In this world where darkness and light coexist, a fully armored dark knight walks through the shadows. Red, tattered tights flutter overhead. On a dusty shelf in the hallway, a spider perches at the center of a chest emblem—its owner tumbling across the city, trying to play the part of a good neighbor. A brilliant, philanthropic billionaire dons a high-tech suit, swearing to protect the world. And towering above all, a figure that seems divine—a symbol of hope not born of this planet, with a crimson cape flowing like sunlight, and an "S" emblazoned on his chest. No one would have expected that behind the screen, just an ordinary young man lost in a video game... was the one pulling the strings.

At Griven Academy, power is everything—and every student is expected to follow one of the Nine Ascension Paths: Swordhand, Cogmaster, Elementarch, Voice of the Throne, Pathseeker, Wavewalker, Greenwarden, Alchemy, or the elusive Aesharion. But Leon Edalious was never interested in choosing. A fireborn orphan with unmatched talent, Leon masters every subject without effort—except swordsmanship, which bores him. While his peers chase status and defined futures, Leon is growing disillusioned. The Nine Paths feel more like cages than callings. One night, while wandering the sealed wing of the academy library, Leon uncovers something strange: a weathered, forgotten page covered in symbols from no known magical system. Not Alchemy. Not Elementarch. Not even the Forbidden Archives. When even the professors can’t identify it—and urge him to stay silent—Leon knows he's found something the academy fears: the unknown. For seven days, he locks himself away, deciphering the spell alone. Where reason fails, instinct and flame guide him. What he casts under starlight is no ordinary magic. A pillar of white-gold fire erupts from his hands. The air bends. Time blinks. The world feels thinner. And something long buried awakens. There were never just Nine Paths. Now, the Tenth Path stirs—and Leon stands at the edge of it, alone.

In a world where memory is currency and myth can be weaponized, Matherson—a boy who once escaped death while his family was erased before his eyes—returns from the digital shadows to expose the truth. The system that failed him is called Edenfall, a regime that rewrites history, deletes resistance, and controls the living Archive that stores every soul’s truth. But Matherson is no longer alone. A rogue AI named Ghostbyte, a spy torn by loyalty named Nova, and a generation of myth-touched orphans—known only as the Children of Ember—are awakening to voices from the past. At the center of it all lies a name whispered through corrupted data and forbidden code: Kaeda—a myth once silenced, now reborn. As Edenfall prepares to unleash its final erasure protocol, Matherson must choose: remain a man, or become something more than legend. Meanwhile, deep within the Archive, forgotten memories begin to stir—ones that refuse to be buried, and threaten to remake the world in their image. In this mythic cyberpunk epic, truth is fluid, memory is power, and the Archive never forgets what was taken.

#ADVENTURE #WAR Before the fall, there was a choice. Before the monsters, there was a man. In the shadow of Mount Banahaw, deep beneath the soil, Dr. Rhane Wu—last in the bloodline of Dr. Henry Wu—awakens a system that was never meant to be touched. The Codex Prime was designed to archive life. Rhane rewires it to replace evolution. Buried in sealed tanks are hybrids, twisted fusions of predator and anomaly. Among them lies XENOVORAX, still sleeping—still dreaming. But the jungle remembers. And so does JIRUUN—a Warden-class entity born not from man, but from something older. Something watching. As global systems blink out, genetic failsafes rupture, and ARKHIVE prepares for a new host, Rhane records one final Codex entry. “We tried to resurrect the past. But the future had teeth.” This is not a tale of redemption. This is the prelude to extinction. “The world didn’t end with man. It began after him.”

Mors Walk doesn’t fix timelines. He decides which ones deserve to exist. As an operative of the Archive — a secret organization that edits reality — Mors erases contradictions, deletes cities, and archives versions of himself that failed. Cold. Calculating. Utterly utilitarian. He’s the man they send when logic breaks and truth becomes a threat. But when he discovers a rogue copy of himself hiding a forbidden future, Mors is forced into a game even he didn’t author. Some lies hold the world together. Some truths are too dangerous to remember. And some futures… refuse to die quietly.

Cael is no legend – just a skilled thief drowning in debt. When a final job offers a way out, he must steal the Null Contract from the Ledger Spire, a towering archive of every obligation ever sworn. But the Spire is alive. It reshapes its halls, whispering temptations and stealing memories with every step. As Cael navigates its labyrinth alone, he faces an impossible choice: unleash humanity’s freedom or seal its chains forever. In the end, he made a sacrifice to keep the world intact, emerging with nothing but a single reminder in the form of a note: "I chose to remember enough to know why I did it."

For 500 years, she has been condemned to suffer. Clark Parker is reincarnated thirteen times, only to live a cruel life. In her final life, she dies a Saint, and the Veil offers her release: a chance at peace, at bliss--rebirth without sorrow. She refuses. Clark doesn't want to come back. She wants answers. But the truth she seeks lies deep within the Old Archives, a place forbidden to all but reapers. And she isn't one--not yet. To become an envoy of death, she must destroy what remains of her grace and taint her soul. And there is only one place to break a Saint: Hell. There, among the ruined and the wretched, she will rise. Through torment. Through the ranks of demons, and ascend as a reaper. But the closer she comes to the truth, the colder the world becomes. Because some secrets are chained for a reason. And some names should stay in the dark.

This isn't the story of the typical boy or girl who through a turn of fate gain something that would help them get stronger overtime, achieve immortality or conquer a world. No. This is a collection of the many personal archives of an obscure and strange oddity. A mysterious traveler who goes anywhere and anytime in the cosmos unobstructed, with no apparent goal or agenda to those he visits. He may appear uninvited at an important event organized by a galactic superpower, barge his way to a serious meeting of world leaders who gathered to decide the fate of their dying solar system or walk straight into the middle of an imminent battle that would decide the future ruler race of a planet. He may visit a primitive planet where the dominant race still uses cold metal weapons, a main space station hub where all sorts of races gather and trade or a world govern by magic principles where they master the arcane powers and use them in everyday life.

Stephen Hawking, He was regularly asked for his thoughts on the “big questions” of the day by scientists, tech entrepreneurs, senior business figures, political leaders and the general public. Stephen maintained an enormous personal archive of his responses, which took the form of speeches, interviews and essays. Now, he's not here with us but somewhere in the form of tiny particles, he's travelling around in this universe or who knows maybe in any other alternate universe... He had lost some of his physical abilities due to any spinal issue ... But, in his mind, he was completely free, free to travel around anywhere, free to explore the existence itself ... In this book, I'm gonna share what I've studied, what I'm studying, what I've observed, what are the possibilities, what actually our life is ...these all things, about whom? About my favorite, "Mr. Hawking" and his theoretical physics concepts.

One day, Siegfried woke up to find himself transported to a world of swords and magic. Powerless and unarmed, he was entrusted with the task of saving a kingdom. Since ancient times, the strong have relied on their fists, and the rich on their wealth. But what about those who have nothing? Guess they'll have to rely on their silver tongue. “Well, for starters, let’s swindle a lady knight for fun~” -------------------------------------------- I strolled through the grand and bustling medieval royal city, and climbed the towering magical spire that reached the skies. I’ve seen beautiful, elegant elves with long lifespans, and ancient dragons that blotted out the sun. I’ve once led thousands into battle across the war-torn plains, and also clinked mugs with comrades in the rowdy adventurers’ taverns. I’ve recorded these wild and fantastical experiences in my handbook, hoping they’ll be sung for generations to come.

With a band of misfits by his side—including a drunk who thinks he’s royalty, a seductive thief, and a spear-wielding queen—Kael dares to challenge fate, conquer chaos, and rewrite history.

“We don’t hunt ghosts. We listen to them.” In the haunted circuitry of the post-Matrix world, GhostNet agents archive the fragments of lost souls, corrupted memories, broken echoes, and AI-born grief. GhostNet: Codex is a mythic anthology of 40+ haunting tales, each a glimpse into a digital afterlife where sorrow becomes signal and identity decays into code. From the laughter of a looping child to a janitor who cleans away regret, these standalone stories form a tapestry of love, loss, recursion, and redemption. The ghosts don’t always scream. Some hum. Some weep in binary. And some… just want to finish their sentence.

In a vast cultivation world shaped by elemental forces and ancient powers, a mysterious young man splits into seven distinct clones—each embodying a unique element and personality. As they journey across the lands, facing trials, forging bonds, and uncovering forgotten secrets, the balance of the realms begins to shift. From sacred mountains to forbidden archives, the brothers encounter powerful clans, ancient beasts, and lost arts that hint at a deeper destiny awaiting them all. Unbeknownst to the lower realm, the gods of the higher world—the True Gods—begin to stir. A crack in the void sends shockwaves through the divine, igniting suspicion, greed, and hidden loyalties. Among the gods, old rivalries and buried truths resurface, particularly involving the fallen Eternal Clan and a mysterious heir. As the brothers travel separate paths across elemental lands—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Darkness—threads of fate slowly draw them toward a grand confrontation. Secrets, betrayals, and the burden of identity threaten to unravel everything. In a world where cultivation decides fate and gods interfere with mortal destinies, the seven must discover not only who they are—but what they must become. Their choices will shape the fate of all realms.

Layfon Drogo had the potential to be an interesting villain of a story. But the writer discarded him as a tutorial enemy that any no name mob could have been...Now we're here. Being chosen as an Invader, we are bestowed the means and power to change this world. Whether we help it or watch it burn is our decision. Watch as we create and build our Dungeon to take over two worlds and amass our own harem of beauties along the way. What should have been the MC, we will take! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX This story was originally called 'World of Alber'. I greatly enjoy my stories and will never drop them. However, I have to admit, this one was a little too slow paced. The idea was for it to be an experiment in slow building a story from the ground up. The problem is, while I enjoyed writing it, I want others to be able to enjoy it too. Plus, once we got to the village stage, I realized the plot was a little lack luster. So, I reinvented the story into something a little more fast-passed and interesting. I still intend to maintain the kingdom building, dungeons, summons, and other aspects that made up the core of Alber, but with an overall different plot/more developed plot. For anyone interested in the original, I have it saved in the auxiliary chapters and would love feedback.

Gaia City stands as the pinnacle of human advancement—a sprawling, walled metropolis where science has given birth to the extraordinary. Within its boundaries live Gaias, individuals born with Arthem circuits, synthetic pathways infused with Psi Waves and the mysterious energy known as Metra. Ranked from Eta to Alpha, Gaias are classified, studied, and controlled under a rigid system designed to maintain order and suppress the unknown. But science can only explain so much. Beyond the city's borders dwell the Mergus, wielders of pure Metra through forbidden Ancient Scripts and sacred texts long dismissed as myth by Gaia City's researchers. Unlike Gaias, Mergus tap into forces unquantifiable, echoing lost wisdom and primal power. Contact between the two worlds is outlawed—for good reason. Exposure to raw Metra could cripple or kill a Gaia, disrupting their Arthem at the core. Ryouma Winslow, an Eta-class Gaia dismissed as a nobody, had no intention of getting involved with either side. But everything changes when he crosses paths with Archive (Shiro), a strange girl with fractured memories and a presence that doesn’t belong in Gaia City. Helping her seemed simple—until restoring her mind reveals a truth that shatters the world he thought he knew. Now entangled with rogue Mergus factions, hunted by unseen forces, and navigating fragile alliances with powerful Level Alpha Gaias like the electrifying Mei Tokisaki, Ryouma finds himself drawn into a multilayered conflict that transcends science, challenges belief, and threatens the foundations of Gaia City itself. Because in a world split between science and sorcery, the greatest danger is a boy who doesn’t fit into either side. Author's Note to Readers: This story draws clear inspiration from the Toaru series (A Certain Magical Index / Scientific Railgun), and longtime fans will notice structural and tonal similarities in its arcs, setting, and faction dynamics. While some adaptations and elements may feel familiar, please know that the world, characters, power systems, and underlying themes in A Certain Undefined Gaia are entirely original and unique to this work. Think of it in the same way that fans appreciate both Mushoku Tensei and TBATE—similarities exist, but each story carries its own voice, meaning, and direction.

Who am I... if the memories I carry were never mine to begin with? At 11:11, Lira receives a text. From herself… Or at least from someone who knows her handwriting, her fears, her thoughts before she even speaks them. The old flip phone begins offering impossible choices: "MEMORY" or "REALITY." She chooses Memory. And everything begins to fracture. Her friends start forgetting her. Her reflection stops moving in sync. A girl with her exact face, but colder eyes, appears in her dreams... then in mirrors. Then comes the message: "You replaced someone who chose to forget." As Lira searches through locked archives, sealed houses, and fragments of someone else's past, she begins to uncover something impossible. She may not be the original. Not the first. Maybe not even real. In a world built on experiments of consciousness and rewritten time, she must face the ultimate question: If two versions of you exist... which one deserves to live? The clock is ticking. And at 11:11, only one self can remain.

"Forget nothing. Fear everything. Write anyway." In a house filled with bone corridors and whispering walls, Callum Mercer awakens to find that he is not alive—but remembered. Shelved inside a labyrinthine Archive of forgotten lives and fractured spines, Callum must navigate a world where identity is rewritten, memory is weaponized, and death is just a misclassification. As he descends through marrow-laced sanctums, scribes made of regret, and doors carved from teeth, one question haunts him: What happens when a story starts to write back? Bone Archive is a deep-psychological horror novel about recursion, memory collapse, and the price of being remembered wrong. It is not a book for the faint of mind. It is a book that knows you're reading it.

In the cold halls of Hale Dominion—where scent is currency and power is classified—Alpha Riven Hale reigns untouchable. Sharp, composed, and bred for dominance, he has everything under control... until Ezren Vale arrives. An unregistered Omega with no lineage, no bond history, and no scent trail to trace. He’s beautiful, distant, and completely wrong. Because when Ezren walks in, Riven’s perfect world begins to unravel. Beneath the surface, Hale’s scent monitors begin to spike. The data says danger. The past whispers warnings. And somewhere deep in the archives, a long-buried trauma stirs—a forgotten bond, a dead Omega, and a truth someone paid to erase. But Ezren isn’t just a threat. He’s the trigger. And once he kisses Riven, it’s already too late. Now tangled in a game of dominance, memory, and control, Riven must decide what’s more dangerous: the truth they buried, or the Omega who’s slowly becoming impossible to resist.
