Marvel's Superman Chapter 17
Advertisement
Rogers looked at Luke, as they walked side by side.
He found him to be calm and relaxed.
'That's so like him!'
Rogers thought to himself.
Actually, Luke's true emotions were far less calm than they seemed.
From Brooklyn streets, step by step to the Strategic Scientific Reserve's secret base, and about to receive the Super Soldier serum injection.
This wasn't an easy task.
'In order to get the plug-in, I went on desperately. '
(TNote: plug-in = component that adds a specific feature to an existing character template.)
The three went down to the bottom floor and saw two metal coffin-like boxes in the middle of the room, where Dr. Erskine and Howard-Stark were talking about something.
Colonel Philips and the Senators who were in attendance, stayed in the control room on the second floor.
Everyone was looking forward to witness a miracle!
"Let's get started."
Dr. Erskine said to the two men.
Luke and Rogers looked at each other, and took off their garrison caps and coats.
The contrast between their physiques was obvious.
The former is strong and well-defined, while the latter is as thin as dry wood.
Seeing that, the researchers around them shook their heads and sighed. They doubted whether Rogers could survive the serum injection.
"It's okay, you can do it!"
Luke squeezed Rogers' shoulder as if to inject courage into him.
If Steve wasn't around, he would be the one to debut as an idol and sell war bonds!
Seeing him nod in agreement, Luke turned his attention to what was before him, a metal box with complex wires and cables inserted on both sides.
Howard Stark, who sported a mustache, was in-charge of operating the machine.
He was currently at the console, busy with the preparation for the serum injection.

This talented millionaire, who had good relations with the military elites under the banner of patriotism, was also one of the participants in this project.
Click!
A bright light flashed as the Staff from the Military's Public Affairs Department snapped a photo of Luke and Rogers standing together.
This was a memorable historical moment!
"It's time to start!"
Erskine cleared the people, leaving only Howard Stark and other researchers.
"You'll both make it!"
The doctor seriously said.
He was only going to choose one person to make a super soldier.
However, Luke's outstanding performance and sincere attitude made Erskine's original idea waver.
So, he and Colonel Phillips, each took a step back.
It was decided that both of these candidates would be injected with the serum and become super soldiers.
In the words of Colonel Phillips, "At least one will succeed".
Dr. Erskine patiently explained the process, and then the shells of the two metal boxes placed together slowly closed.
"It will start out as a series of minimally invasive injections to inject the serum into the muscle groups. After this step is completed, it will trigger radical changes in the cells ..."
Luke was plunged into darkness, unable to see the slightest bit of light from the outside world. He could only hear Dr. Erskine's voice talking to Howard Stark.
The cold needles pierced his skin, and the serum was steadily pushed into the body, which merged with countless cells.
"Weird, I don't feel much pain..."
Luke was worried that the process of injecting the super soldier serum would be extremely painful.
At least in his memory, Rogers shouted at the top of his lungs and almost died.
"Start the instrument!"
Luke heard Dr. Erskine's voice.
The metal instrument connected to the cable introduced a sizzling strong current.

A burst of white light broke out!
"Fuck!"
Luke instantly felt intensively excruciating pain, as if his muscle fibers were pulled into a million strips.
His whole body felt like it was torn apart!
Not only the physical, but the mental strain was just as unbearable.
However, the intense pain, enough to make people crazy, only lasted a short moment.
Then, as if it was absorbed, it just disappeared!
[100%]
On his retina, clear data emerged.
The progress bar, which had been stagnant for years, had finally completely loaded.
[Player identity Cleared]
[Gift pack is being issued]
[Issued successfully]
[Please check]
Lines of information flew out.
Then, the hazy white light slightly lit up.
A huge stream of data, like a waterfall, scrolled down to form a character panel -
Host: Luke (Luke Cavill)
Loaded Card: None
Ability: None
Reputation: None
Task List: Not yet opened
"..."
Luke felt a bit puzzled.
After working so hard for so long, he only got three empty stats?
"Forget it, let's first open the gift pack!"
Luke was familiar with it and clicked on the conscious space.
Open!
With a slight thought, a golden shimmering light erupted.
Many characters poured into his mind.
"Golden Superman ..."
"Silver Superman ..."
"Cyborg Superman ..."
"Quantum Superman ..."
"Ultraman ..."
"Superboy-Prime ..."
"..."
Various forms of Superman templates are displayed in front of Luke's eyes.
[Superman Card detected, would you like to accept it?]

In the final days of Eternia, members would start to quit as the day for shutdown drew closer. In the final minutes of the game, the founding members of Crimson Strife came together and waited for the end. However the end didn't come as expected, instead something new began.I have taken over the writing of this series from Thecode. Since this is the first time I am writing a fanfiction, I am very open to people posting comments in order to tell me what I am doing wrong or how to make the series better. I will also do my best to respond back to people's comments. I will upload a picture once I figure out how to do so. The first few chapters will be pretty much what Thecode uploaded before with a few changes in order to set up the story. I will try to upload a new chapter at least once every three days.

Reverie
Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them. And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. Cover art by Rin! Check out her work!

Condemned
“The human body is a fragile thing. But the soul... The soul is malleable. Easily tainted. All it takes is one drop of blood to dye it all red.” Long ago, in a time remembered only by a few, the seven lords of Syvernia, led by the Great Hero Ludwig, ended the Great Calamity that plagued humanity for as long as time itself. It was the dawn of a new age of man. . . until the thirst for more poisoned the new lords. Slowly, the thread that held humanity together loosened and a thick haze consumed the lands between. Mysterious vanishings, supernatural forces, and silence warns of a looming threat inside the coat of fog. Though the struggle of the realms did not interest Leor, for he was condemned as a Purblight, until he took a seemingly simple job: escort Alden to Lightendale and collect the handsome reward, a reward that would let him live the rest of his life with ease. But it’s never that simple, especially for someone who denounced the Gods. All his life, death followed Leor everywhere he went, cutting down his friends and family. When his first love died at the hands of an agent of light, he was prepared to throw everything away until a mysterious voice promised him a chance for retribution and a chance to bring her back by completing the seven trials. Thrown into the realm's struggle against the approaching haze and themselves, will Leor, a Purblight and an acquaintance of tragedy, use the very power he disdains to accomplish his goals? This is the rewrite of my novel: Condemned; I changed it to past tense and added/ took out some ideas from the original. This is essentially the first draft since I'm writing as I go. Also, there might be or might not be Gore, Sexual, or Traumatizing content. I only put it there for a disclaimer in case I want to add it. I have no set release schedule yet, but I'll try to post once every 2 week. Thanks for your patience.
