The next day, he and the gang are drawn into a new mystery when the Spirit Animals disappear, and a strange lightning storm signals the return of the Thunderbird. As Ihaan and the gang fight to calm the Lightning Spirit and save the Spirit Animals, Ihaan must learn where he truly belongs, while the Mystery Gang learns the harsh truth of the word "erasure". By then, though, will it be too late for all of them? *** *Sequel to What's New Scooby-Doo: The Ghost of Ontario. Can be read as a standalone.* *FYI: This story is based on a TV show, so expect a screenplay-like writing style.* *Also inspired by Indigenous mythology.* *Main Tropes: Angst with a happy ending and found family.* *Moral: "Some mysteries are more than someone in a mask."*

Reincarnated As Bait, Evolved To A Deity

Evan Mercer died unable to finish page 212 of the book he was reading. He thought that was the end. Instead, he wakes up as a minnow in a poisoned swamp, and for the first time in his life, he can breathe. It’s a very small second chance. It’s also a very dangerous one. Two hundred years ago, the portals tore open and the world changed overnight. Monsters poured through. Guns, missiles, and bombs barely scratched them. Humanity survived only because a handful of people awakened mythic abilities, and they’ve been fighting ever since. They’ve clawed back 60% of the planet. The other 40% still belongs to the monsters. Evan was born in the worst corner of it. The swamp is a Level 3 danger zone, cut off from every city and hunter guild. The miasma twists everything that lives there. Even the smallest creatures glow. The things in the deep are so much stronger than anything above them that Evan can’t even read their levels. They show up as question marks. It’s a closed world with a cruel ladder, where every rung eats the one below it. But Evan's got a status panel, a unique skill called Absorb, and a stubborn mind that refuses to stop asking questions. He can eat to grow stronger. He can fuse skills, unlock mutations, and push every ability past what it was meant to be. He doesn’t know what he’ll evolve into. The panel only displays: Available forms: ??? He doesn’t care. He wants to find out. Because beyond the swamp is an entire world he’s never seen. Dungeons that swallow cities. Guilds that rank people like weapons. Beings who can erase a city with a single move. And things above them that even those beings are afraid of. Evan is small. Evan is hungry. And Evan is absolutely not going to spend his second life hiding in a log. He’s going to eat his way up the food chain, climb out of the swamp, and see every impossible corner of this magical world. One bite at a time.
