Ascension Code: Reborn in the DC Universe

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him.
A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities.

Then he died.

And was born again.

Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process.

Memory intact.
Intellect intact.
Ambition intact.

From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols.

While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence.
While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within.

This is not the story of a chosen one.
It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable.

Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution.

This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued.

This project is not a continuation, rewrite, or replacement of that original work. It is an independent story, created with its own plot, characters, and direction, merely inspired by the ideas and feelings that the original story left with me.

Out of respect, I want to properly credit the source of my inspiration below:
