Marvel's Superman Chapter 7
Advertisement
The corner of Luke's lips twitched when he heard Howard Stark talking about how he was about to change the future.
Luke had no interest in all this nonsense.
Although the man in front of him can be regarded as one of the smartest people alive in the world, he sometimes acted a bit immaturely, similar to his son, Tony Stark.
Both of them had a common characteristic or a characteristic that was in their genes —
They were not easy to deal with!
Perhaps this can be called a common problem among geniuses!
While everyone was focused on Howard Stark, Luke sneaked out of the crowd to get rid of the star-struck girls.
Just as he turned his head, he saw Roger's thin back.
He passed through the crowd and walked to the conscription station not far away.
Luke took a deep breath standing at the main entrance. He knew that this was going to be the beginning of Captain America.
Putting his hands in his pocket, he thought about what he should do next.
Although it can be said that up until now, everything was going as per the plot.
But who knows when his cheat will arrive.
While thinking about what to do, Luke saw the figure of an old man.
He had gray hair, was a little bald, and glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Abraham Erskine!
Luke recognized him within an instant.
Abraham Erskine, the developer of the Super Soldier Serum, and the German scientist whose prototype serum turned the Hydra leader into Red Skull, was now walking slowly into the conscription station.
Luke, who was about to enter the conscription station, suddenly turned serious, "Hmm? Someone's following him?"
He saw that behind Abraham Erskine, a few men in black suits, wearing round hats, were closely following him.

There were visible bulges around their waists, their expression was nervous as they looked around.
They didn't look like ordinary tourists, and the bulges on their waste gave Luke a bad feeling.
Suddenly a thought flashed through Luke's mind, "Hydra?"
As the creator of the Super Soldier Serum, Dr. Erskine was a thorn in the eyes of Hydra.
The Red Skull would do anything possible to get rid of this variable!
'Once the Allies get the chance to mass-produce the Super Soldier Serum and create a large number of Super Soldiers, there won't be any suspense regarding the result of the war.'
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Luke walked into the conscription station.
"Steve..."
Bucky finally came back to his senses after Howard Stark's sensational performance and turned to look at his friend, only to find that he had long since disappeared.
"Luke..."
He turned to the other side, but he didn't expect to not see Luke either.
"What's the matter! Where did both of them go?"
Bucky was about to go out, however, he was dragged back to the exhibition by the girls.
...
...
"The war is not for you."
In the conscription station, Rogers was rejected again.
The officer who recruited soldiers into the army saw his thin body and gave his judgment without even thinking anything. He didn't even read the application form.
Although Rogers argued, his words were ignored.
No matter what he said, the officer just shook his head in denial.
In his opinion, sending this thin-little man to war was no different from killing him.
In the end, the officer got impatient, "You can still serve the country without joining the army. We are in urgent need of factory workers. You can go to the factory to help in making weapons for the frontline, or you can find another job!"

He pushed back Rogers' application form, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"You will be a burden to others in the war! Instead of this, it is better to stay back in the country!"
"Listen, kid! Don't risk your life like this. Not everyone has a chance to stay back home."
The officer didn't get why this little guy wanted to join the army; wouldn't it be best to stay in America?
Let alone the horrors of war, his life will be safest here.
No matter how precious the medal of honor is, can it be more important than one's life?
Who doesn't know that the Allied and the Axis powers are fighting non-stop?
Every day both sides were losing thousands of men.
God knows how many corpses were left to rot in the trenches, with no way of even giving them an honorary burial.
"Sir! I want to fight for the country! And I won't be any burden to anyone..."
The draft officer avoided Rogers' firm eyes and just shook his head in denial.
Even he needs to follow some rules, he can't just recruit an unqualified soldier.
Their argument soon attracted the attention of Abraham Erskine.
He looked at Rogers, who was depressed, and he seemed to think of something.
"It's going exactly like the plot..."
Luke watched quietly from a corner with a small smile over his lips.
But he suddenly retracted his smile, when he noticed the men in black suits who were following behind Abraham Erskine came closer.
With cold eyes and murderous intent, they slowly moved their right hand toward the bulge of their waist.
Just then, one of the men tucked his coat and pulled out a hidden pistol!
Aiming at Dr. Abraham Erskine, he pulled the trigger in the next second.
*Bang!*
.....
T/n: Sorry for the delayed chapter guys. Lost track of time while working on some other project.
Extra Chapter: 150 Powerstones needed.
If we accomplish this target, the extra chapter will come but it will be delayed 5-6 hrs because it's midnight rn and I don't have energy to translate anymore.
This chapter may have had some awkward sentences because I was not able to give my best while translating.

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
