《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension

[POV Nat]
"We have guests..." I said loudly to notify everyone around me. It only took us a moment to notice the choppers flying towards us... Yelena was glaring at Alexei... quite understandable... after all, he was the one who wanted us to come here.
"Dora take care of the woman inside... she has a handgun and a knife in her hands... she is moving towards the back" I said and Dora rushed towards the house before anyone could even blink... Dora isn't the fastest among us but if she was being compared to humans... then there was no way that they could compare with Dora's speed.
"Take cover..." I said and everyone followed my command without any argument... I knew that Alexei didn't betray us... after all, I have scanned his mind after Dora rescued him from the prison... he holds no loyalty towards Dreykov... he loathes the man because it was Dreykov who put him in the prison.
Now, I only needed for the choppers to arrive... I didn't want to reveal my telekinesis but it looks like that I don't have any other options. I have already shown my Portal Formation ability... so, I don't think that it would be a problem.
There were 4 choppers in total and Dora also arrived with a knocked out Melina... I quickly manipulated the pilots to land the choppers while I manipulated the Widows inside to fall asleep.
The choppers finally landed on the ground and I manipulated the pilots to turn off the engine and fall asleep... Damn!! That took out a lot from me... I was breathing heavily and I was really tired after mentally manipulating so many people... reading minds wasn't a problem but making them bend to your will is definitely hard.
"What was that??" Yelena asked me while giving me worried looks. I don't know if the Meta-Human hating virus is still active or not... but I had already revealed powers... there is no reason to hide it anymore.
"...Due to some circumstances, I had awakened my dormant X-Genes... I have gained some powers after that..." I said cryptically, for now, they didnt say anything and they simply contemplated my words.
"Let's go... we need to use the Red Dust on them quickly... we can't allow Dreykov to run away..." I said and everyone nodded their heads... hah...!! Let's get to work... there are more than 30 Widows we need to free from Dreykov's control...
[POV Reo]
"By the way... I gotta go... tell Momo and Luna that I will visit later..." Flavia said while waving her hand and walked into a sparkling golden portal.
"Sure, stay safe..." I said while I waved at her... Flavia smiled after hearing my words... hmm... I decided to simply laze around while Nat and Dora were busy with the Red Room fiasco... I laid down over thin air and yawned while stretching my limbs... yeah... this is life!!

All of a sudden my phone started to buzz... I pulled out my phone and saw that it was Eric... I accepted the call. "Hello, Eric. How have you been?" I asked him and Eric simply snorted?
'I was pretty good but some people decided to abduct some Meta-Humans from our office in Madagascar... I have been having a bad day since then' Eric said blandly, there was a sarcastic undertone in. his voice too.
"Ooh... is that so?? Can't you find out where these Meta-Humans were taken?" I asked lazily.
'No... I have just received the report and that's not it... Emma is in a bad shape but she was able to escape with a bullet in her gut...' Eric said while gritting his teeth... I could feel his anger from his voice.
"How were they able to hurt Emma?" I asked curiously.
'They came prepared... they had brought the X-Gene suppressors with them... they hit was quick and hard, it was you basic hit and bag them scenario' Eric said in a defeated tone.
"So do you want me to go after them?" I asked him, after all, he hasn't told me anything about going after them...
'No, you don't need to do that... I simply wanted to inform you about the incident... that is why I called you. I wanted to meet you yesterday, but Ororo told me you were busy... I wanted to inform you that the Inhumans had decided to join our group' Eric said in a tired voice. Yeah... I feel him...
"You know you don't need to inform me about everything that happens on Elysium... after all, you are the Leader and I am simply a guy who loves freedom and his women" I said and Eric snorted once again.
'By the way, I have been getting some reports of the movements of the fleet... do you know anything about that?' Eric asked me in a curious tone... oh.. looks like they have already started.
"I think you should start preparing for war... humans have decided to make their final move" I said and ended the call... while I was talking with Eric, Nat and the others were already gone... I could still sense Nat and Dora, so I simply willed myself to arrive near them and I appeared in front of tower like a building...
Hmm... I quickly spread my senses and found a lot of life signs from the building... Dreykov seems to be a well connected old fool... after all, he was able to build a place like this... I know that SHIELD was supporting Dreykov but it didn't mean that he didn't have other connections.
With a simple click inside my mind, the whole building turned transparent for me and with the help of Soul Stone, it wasn't that hard to locate Dreykov... he seemed to be gathering his stuff and he was in a rush too... Ah...!! He wants to run...

Without making a sound, I appeared behind the man and grabbed him by his neck... "Argh...!!" Dreykov yelled and started to flail his arms and legs... I let him go and used my powers to raise him up in the air... as soon as his eyes landed on me... he paled beyond anything human. "Leviathan..." he stuttered in fear.
"Yep... that's me..." I said and stared into his eyes... before he could say anything else, I decided to delve into his mind. "Legilimens..." I shifted through his memories but this time I was careful... not wanting to melt his brain, yep I could bring him back but I won't be bringing back anyone with my Time Powers, until and unless there are no other options.
Ho Ho... looks like I got the jackpot!!! I have finally found the location of Wolfgang von Strucker... hehe...!!! He is currently hiding in Sokovia, he is hiding under a barrier that protects him from any kind of Satellite Surveillance... truly a jackpot and I also found that Alexander Pierce was taking suggestions from Arnim Zola.
Well, to be exact it was the computerized Arnim Zola... I already knew about this but I didn't found him important to bother with him... it looks like I will get a lot of information from that outdated computer too... I wonder if it knows about me or not...
I finally retracted from Dreykov's mind and he dropped to the ground while clutching his head... "Don't worry I won't kill you... here, let me help you" I said and used my Time Powers to alleviate his pain... I used my powers to pick him up from the ground and then I stuffed him in his chair and petrified him using magic.
I can't him running away now, can I? With another thought, I appeared outside the building where I previously was... The fight was about to start and there was no way I was going to miss something like that...
[POV Nat]
"So, all of you remember the plan, right??" Nat asked and everyone nodded.
The plan was pretty simple, I along with most of the Widows would storm the base... we won't use lethal force while fighting against the Widows but the SHIELD Agents were going to be killed. I have already checked and found that both Dreykov and the Taskmaster were inside the building. Basically, everyone will pay attention to us...
While Dora accompanied by 6 Widows will look for the ventilation system and after finding the ventilation system, they will use it to spread the Red Dust... Red Dust will have no effect on normal people so we were not worried about it.
Alexei's job was to take over the control room as quickly as possible... we can't allow anyone to escape. Alexei was given his own team... Melina was also on his team, she was also under Dreykov's control and that is why she had called reinforcements to capture us.
We finally broke into the building and the alarms started to blare but we were not worried about that... everyone knew the plan, so, Dora and six Widows separated from the group and went on their own way while I was leading the main group. Just like I had thought... they decided to send the Widows so that they could buy themselves some time.
It took us 5 minutes to knock out the Widows Dreykov had sent to neutralise us... I didn't know if there were any more Widows but the others said that it was all of them... so, we started to head towards Dreykov's office... Alexei's group had already taken over the surveillance room and the control room... according to him Dreykov was in his room... still alive but for whatever reason, he wasn't moving.
The SHIELD Agents were trying to get to the roof but Alexei had put the whole building under lockdown so they weren't able to escape... Dora is definitely taking her time... just as I was about to call Dora, the Red Dust started to come out of the ventilation systems.
Alexei told us that the Taskmaster was down... the Taskmaster was heading towards Dora's team but she failed... "Dora, restrain Taskmaster and keep an on her" I said.
'Yeah sure...' Dora said in a cheerful tone and we have finally arrived in front of Dreykov's room. "Are you girls, ready?" I asked looking back towards the Widows and all of them nodded their heads eagerly... I kicked the door opened but found that Dreykov of still in his chair without moving.
I quickly scanned his mind and found that it was Reo who did this... well, I had no problems with that. I told the other Widows why Dreykov stayed in his chair unmoving... they were slightly peeved at Reo but they decided that it would be better that they did not voice their concerns.
"Why don't we burn him alive... I think it would be a satisfying end for him..." all of a sudden Yelena spoke up and after a couple of seconds, all. the Widows nodded in agreement... we decided to burn him at a stake... all of us quickly gathered while I was hauling Dreykov outside the building... within minutes the Widows prepared the stake to burn him.
Dreykov was crying but wasn't able to make any sounds... everyone agreed that it should be me who should carry the torch... Dreykov was finally on fire and all the Widows cheered in happiness... "Ah... let's go deal with the SHIELD Agents, they are still trapped inside..." I said and everyone nodded their heads eagerly...

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks

Core Defect
In the 264 years since the Great Singularity Wars, the world has been irrevocably changed. Technologies like nanobots and rogue artificial intelligences have caused the planet's wildlife to evolve in dangerous and powerful ways, pushing humanity to the verge of extinction. However, the remaining survivors are not without ways to fight back. Nanotech can enhance humans just as well as beasts, but perhaps most surprisingly, humanity has found an unexpected ally: a group of human-neutral AIs called Daemons. Val is a 22-year old woman striving to become a User: a nano-empowered human paired with a Daemon that serves as society's final and most powerful line of defense. When a critical issue in her nanosystem's core seemingly leaves her unable to serve as a User, she's given a difficult choice: give up on her dreams or accept a potentially unstable AI, Noir, as her Daemon partner. Val and Noir are stronger together than they are apart, but can they survive long enough to unlock their potential? Can they find a place among the other pairings like them, shunned by society but essential to civilization's survival? If Users are humanity's last line of defense, welcome to the sacrificial first line: the Defects. Updates are currently once a week, aiming for the weekend. Chapters usually 2k-3k in length.

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
