**When justice fails, judgment comes.**
In the DC Universe, a black envelope appears to those failed by the system. Inside: "When justice fails, judgment comes."
The Architect is judge, jury, and executioner for those the law cannot touch. With powers similar to James Heller from Prototype 2, he shapeshifts through society's cracks, absorbing memories of the corrupt, learning their sins—then making them pay in blood.
Loan sharks who burn families alive. Cops who cover up rapes. Politicians who poison children for profit. Corporate executives who laugh at cancer victims. The Architect hunts them all, leaving broken scales carved from their bones.
But his brutal methods terrify even the Justice League.
Superman questions his morals. Batman doubts his code. The Flash races to prevent judgments that maybe shouldn't be prevented. As corrupt networks fall one by one, heroes face an impossible choice:
**Stop the man who succeeds where they fail, or admit their mercy protects evil.**
The Architect doesn't save the innocent—he avenges them. He doesn't reform the guilty—he erases them. In a world where heroes won't cross the line, someone must.
**The scales of justice are broken. He is the balance.**

This story is damn good with people actually dying for their crimes, the only thing holding it back is the fact that this author seems to have a horrible record in completing his stories

this is gold 👌 hidden 💎 found and added to my library, i need more [img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update]
very long winded we knoe this guy is an anti hero and that he goes after bad guys i think it takes waaay too long to get to the good part of him actually doing justice. Its like MC is a side character and rapist and murderers are the main character. they have more written about them then the MC.
Gritty, 1D characters till now. Need to see if it improves as the story goes further. ..................................................................
i came here expecting spawn in DC, but i honestly like this idea as well, keep up the good work.
unfortunately, this is also the case in the real world (but we should be happy, no matter how certain life is for all life, from the most beautiful to the ugliest, it is so certain in death )

Gotta say this book is really good, though some part of the book uses AI it effectively delivers the emotions to the readers. Keep going authour. Desperately waiting for new chapters.
This story is actually pretty good, I started reading this with zero expectations so I was really surprised that this is actually high quality fanfic with decent plot, relatable mc and for now good uploading schedule. But Author from what I checked has horrible record for finishing stories so I guess this will be dropped mid into the story which kinda sucks
Excellent work, entertaining and well-written. I didn’t enjoy the origin story chapters that much, but I really liked everything else. Looking forward to more episodes. 10/10.
too little story have dark stories, i like it
this is surprisingly good it's like a mixture of Sherlock Holmes vibes and some of those dark fantasy novels I've read
So far the story is good though if the author reads this I would recommend putting a tag to say that the story progresses slowly
