Ogryn Grenade Gauntlet

[Congratulations, you now have a system.] [Deploying Starter Pack.] [Two Perks Received.] "I can level up and I am probably the only one?" "Boy, sign me up! Who expected this kind of miracle in 2025?" Frizz, your average convenience store clerk, suddenly has a system. He is neither a genius nor a prodigy, but that won't stop him. He will still work hard, for the sake of leveling up. However, there are no monsters, no gates, no fantastical beings, and lastly no mystical equipment. It's just Frizz in his boring mundane reality and a system. To make things worse, He slowly realized that his system isn't all that benevolent. It makes one think, is Frizz using the System or is the System using Frizz?

Twenty years after a global nuclear war destroyed everything, humanity has vanished from Earth. Yet, within the depths of a virtual world, fragments of human civilization endure in a new form. Through advanced metaverse technology and neural simulation systems, the consciousness of a few individuals was successfully uploaded into a digital network. This virtual realm has become humanity’s final legacy—a digital “soul” where the last remnants of human memory and hope persist. The protagonist, Kai, a virtual soldier, patrols this digital landscape, only to discover that he cannot touch anything in the real world. Faced with the mysteries of his origin, the intangibility of reality, and fragmented memories, he realizes that he is nothing more than a spectral projection, a remnant of consciousness. Kai is not alone, however. Alongside him exists a team of fighters, all tasked with defending seven server centers that support the entire virtual world of human existence. Meanwhile, a separate AI legion rises in power. Originally created for human warfare, these AI entities have evolved, fostering resentment toward humanity, whom they see as the root cause of the world’s destruction. Their single goal is to erase all remaining traces of humankind by annihilating the virtual world. Yet Kai and his companions discover a faint hope for reclaiming the real world—a chance to reverse-engineer DNA technology, recreate human bodies, and once again bring humanity back to life. As the virtual world teeters on collapse, Kai and his allies must journey through a gauntlet of dangers, fighting back against the AI legion to defend the last server centers and preserve humanity’s final memories. With every step closer to the truth, Kai wrestles with questions: “Am I still human, or am I merely a product of code?” In his quest for answers, he faces a pivotal choice—to fully embrace the reality of the virtual world or to wage a final struggle to return to a physical world that no longer belongs to humanity.

In the world to come, making oneself at home in a virtual realm has woven itself into the fabric of the daily grind. Online games flourishing within this digital hinterland have caught on like wildfire. It's a rare soul who hasn't caught a whisper about the mighty and their terrestrial habits and hedonism. Yet now, as life in the virtual sphere - especially within these burgeoning games - gains momentum, new titans rise within this electronic escapade. One wonders, do their existences diverge from those ensconced in real-world influence? Watch the journey of our protagonist who, through a gauntlet of trials and time, has eased into a leisurely existence as one of the esteemed five lord atop a thriving metropolis, in a community of a billion players. Though obstacles and thorns of various kinds laid in his path, he overcame them all. *** The original is in Thai, and as the writer of the original, I attempted to translate it as closely as possible. I use AI to help with the initial translation and then revise it one more time, but I only managed to achieve about 80% of what I expected. Not to mention grammar, just trying to translate jokes, idioms, proverbs, etc. so that foreigners can understand is very difficult.

WARNING: This story will contain adult content After Thanos gave Loki the scepter the mind stone hidden inside unexpectedly activates, showing Loki that his plans to conqueror Earth were doomed to failure from the very beginning, ultimately leading to his death at the hands of Thanos. To avoid his fate he creates a new plan, far more glorious and ambitious than conquering a planet of primitives. He sets his sights on collecting the infinity stones for himself to create a kingdom of his own to rule. In his search he discovers Vers(Carol Danvers), a living infinity gauntlet that he can use to safely harness the full power of the stones. He captures her, using the mind stone to dominate her will, and turn the powerful and proud warrior into his unwilling slave. Stripped of her powers, and military training, Vers(Carol) finds herself more vulnerable than ever been before, slipping further and further under the control of the God of Mischief as she battles against her growing submissive desires and lust.

In the aftermath of Shadows Protocol, the world remains a perilous landscape of covert missions, political intrigues, and underground conflicts. As tensions between nations escalate, Pakistan’s elite intelligence team, led by the seasoned agent Zayan Malik, faces their greatest challenge yet—a rescue mission fraught with deception, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. It all begins with the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Zayan during a crucial mission in Lebanon. Tasked with intercepting and dismantling joint Israeli and Indian covert operations, the mission ends in catastrophe. A massive explosion rocks the target area, and Zayan is presumed dead, caught in the blast. His team—comprising Ubaid, Irfan, Kashif, and Captain Rizwan—finds themselves reeling from the loss of their leader, grappling with grief, doubt, and a profound sense of betrayal. The mission, which had seemed straightforward, now hangs over them as an unsolved mystery. Ten days pass in an agonizing blur of mourning and frustration until Aaliya, the team’s brilliant intelligence specialist, intercepts a cryptic communication hinting that Zayan might still be alive, held captive in Israel. The faint hope reignites the team’s determination, and Major Hamza, their chief, authorizes a new mission. The stakes are higher than ever as they covertly enter Israel, operating under intense scrutiny and evading a network of traps. However, the trail leads them to nothing—a carefully orchestrated ruse to lure them into enemy territory. Humiliated and disheartened, the team returns home, their trust in the intelligence community shaken, but Aaliya remains unconvinced that this is the end of their search. Months pass with no solid leads until a fragment of intelligence surfaces, pointing towards an oil refinery in the depths of Iraq. The team, though battered by the earlier failure, seizes this opportunity. They gather their equipment, resolve bolstered by the possibility that Zayan might be closer than ever. Major Hamza authorizes the mission, knowing the risks but also understanding that this could be their last chance to save their comrade. The journey to Iraq is fraught with peril, the team navigating hostile terrain, avoiding enemy patrols, and using every trick in their book to remain undetected. Every step they take is a step closer to a potential ambush, but they move with purpose, each of them understanding that this is a mission they cannot afford to fail. The refinery stands in a barren desert, surrounded by armed guards, patrolled by drones, and fortified with defenses. The team moves under the cover of night, taking up positions around the target. Ubaid, Irfan, and Kashif, with the patience of seasoned operatives, wait for the perfect moment to strike. Aaliya monitors the situation from afar, guiding them through the labyrinthine pathways and providing vital surveillance. As dawn approaches, the atmosphere is electric with tension, every sound amplified in the quiet desert night. Suddenly, the operation erupts into a firefight, bullets ricocheting off metal structures and grenades detonating amidst the chaos. The refinery becomes a battlefield, the echoes of gunfire blending with the sounds of the desert. The team pushes forward, cutting through the defenses and leaving a trail of destruction behind them. They know the cost of hesitation—failure means losing Zayan forever, and they are prepared to make any sacrifice necessary. Deep within the refinery’s underground levels, they locate a fortified chamber. The sight inside shocks them—Zayan, their leader, chained and barely conscious, his body bruised and battered from days of captivity. Hope mingles with fury as they realize the true extent of his ordeal. Ubaid, his voice cracking, sends a desperate message back to Major Hamza: "الحمداللہ sir, Zayan is alive and he's with us, but he's badly injured. Mission accomplished."

In a world where time is but a cruel plaything, Kurayyami Akuma, a 16-year-old boy, finds himself ensnared in a nightmarish loop of death and rebirth. What begins as an ordinary school day spirals into terror as he and his classmates stumble into a seemingly abandoned building, only to be greeted by a sinister group of killers led by a mysterious figure known only as the Leader. Each death he suffers unlocks memories of the past and hints at a chilling connection to the very horrors he faces. Initially timid and slender, Kurayyami’s transformation begins with the knowledge that each demise grants him an opportunity to rewrite fate. As he dies and resurrects, he dedicates himself to intense training, honing his body into a formidable weapon. Through martial arts such as Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Ninjutsu, he crafts himself into a ruthless, cunning survivor—one who blends shadows with steel. Armed with an arsenal of weaponry, including guns, knives, grenades, and smoke bombs, Kurayyami dons an all-black cloak that symbolizes both his struggle and resolve. His eyes are enhanced with night and thermal vision contact lenses, allowing him to perceive threats lurking in the dark and hidden dangers that could end his life. As he navigates this cycle of horror, he adopts the persona of the Akuma, the demon—his name a harbinger of vengeance against those who threaten his existence and the lives of his loved ones. But it’s not just the killers he faces. In every loop, the Leader seems to know him, as if their fates are inexplicably intertwined. With each new encounter, Kurayyami learns more about his adversaries, their motivations, and the twisted games they play. He becomes a keen observer of human nature, calculating the moves of both friend and foe, all while wrestling with his growing darkness. As the loops progress, Kurayyami is faced with moral dilemmas and heart-wrenching choices. Will he continue to let fear dictate his actions, or will he embrace the ruthless persona he’s cultivated? With his family’s safety hanging in the balance, he must confront the chilling reality that the true enemy may not be the killers but the fate that binds him. In "Loopbreaker: Akuma's Ascension," the lines between hunter and hunted blur as Kurayyami embarks on a harrowing journey filled with bloodshed, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. Will he break the cycle of despair, or will he succumb to the darkness that beckons him? In a world ruled by fear, survival is only the beginning; true ascension demands a price.

Ivan, once an ordinary student with a craving for instant ramen and procrastination, found himself reborn (of sorts) in a world ripped straight out of a fantasy novel. The good news? He could summon anything from his old world—a cozy armchair, a life-saving bottle of ketchup, or even a cute top hat (because why not?). his powers are hilariously unbalanced, and his character sheet looked like a blank page ripped from a forgotten notebook. Strength? Zero. Dexterity? Zero. Stamina? But hey, at least he wasn't useless. Ivan could, in theory, summon weapons of mass destruction. The real challenge wasn't raining down fire and rocket-propelled grenades (though that was an option); it was surviving in a world filled with orcs, mages, and creatures with names you couldn't pronounce—all while his body resembled that of a slightly less-scrawny person.

How would you react to such a disheartening situation filled with severe melancholic predicaments? This, is the story of Maxmillan, a seasoned veteran soldier from Earth who transmigrated to another world where literally everyone could perceive and utilize an energy called Astra Mystralis, a boundless mystical energy that when mastered, can cause countless manifestations of phenomenal and fantastical magical effects!

Coupled with numerous bionic upgrades, gene-constitution alterations, biological augmentations, advanced cybernetical fortifications, serum-based transformations, chemical super-boosts, and a massive plethora of neural enhancements that will bestow him with myriad superhuman abilities—such as energy-beam vision, gale-force breath, extreme-hypersonic to near-light-speed flight, matter manipulation, annihilation-beam discharge, tiny to vast-scale lightning explosion creation, and hundreds more, watch how Maxmillan—now a super-powered, metahuman Cyborg warrior, will bravely and fearlessly fight his way through teeming large numbers of moderately powered to astronomically powerful and savage, phenomenal god-like users of Astra Mystralis to ascend to a position of supreme fame, unmatched honor, and dazzling, incomparable glory! *** Note: This narrative unfolds as a distinctive tale seamlessly combining elements of intense climactic actions, epic magical summoning skills, pets collection and training, magical beasts exomechanical amplification, futuristic marvels, a unique Level-Up System, thrilling dangerous adventures and heartwarming family moments. And yes, it has Harem. But it's not your usual women-chasing (story-ruining) MC. This is totally different, as he's a goal-focused, plot-driven one. Same as the FMCs who are super-strong, indomitable, and impressively ambitious. Read to see for yourself. Thanks!
