Marvel's Superman Chapter 255

"Human beings, you're unappreciative."
Chthon flew into a rage. This was the first time he was rejected like this.
In the long and endless years, ignorant human beings who yearned for strength and power bowed and worshipped him.
The words 'Great', 'Omnipotent' and 'Eternal', which symbolize power, always accompanied his name.
Every fallen master was chasing the Book of Chthon, the God of Chaos. Occasionally, he let some little scraps fall from his fingers, and those people saved it carefully as if they had found precious treasures.
Those ridiculous people were even willing to kill each other in order to compete for 'magical knowledge', exposing the darkest and cold side of human nature.
This was a good way for Chthon to pass the time on boring days.
A good enough 'show' could often give him a lingering aftertaste.
But now, this very young human in Chthon eyes, who had already started counting the years by millennia and thousands of years; this excessively young, Allfather-level, 20 something-year-old human that can only be regarded as a blink of an eye at best.
Turned him down!
This raised Chthon's monstrous anger with a trace of doubt.
Did the other party not know what Chaos Magic was?
It wasn't a popular product like black magic, but an ancient power coveted by dimensional demons!
"Human, you have to think clearly."
The dark face, made of magical flames, stared straight at Luke as if to see through his heart.
"Being the spokesperson of chaos, you can gain even greater power."
"No longer limited to Allfather, but to climb to a higher level!"
"I can see that you are a man who pursues strength and thirsts for power."
"So, are you sure you want to refuse this gift?"
Luke was still expressionless and unmoved.
Dimension demons were never philanthropists. They were more like hunters or fishermen.
Setting traps and catching prey.
Or cast a big net and catch delicious souls.
Chthon used the Book of Darkhold to cheat fools blinded by power.
Those fallen masters who flourished for a while, after decades of becoming legends, their souls would basically become corrupted and fall into chaos.

As an old rival, Set, the snake god, especially casted down his Serpent Crown.
As long as someone puts it on, they would be able to comprehend boundless wisdom and have unlimited power.
The price was to become a tool of the Serpent God, Set, and work for the other party obediently.
Once things went wrong, they would become petrified statues.
Even the most free-spirited and spontaneous Cyttorak.
If someone used his Crimson Gem, they would also face the risk of being brainwashed and put on a halo of diminishing wisdom.
Until the end, they would experience an unnatural death.
"Everything has its price."
Luke was well aware of these dimensional demons' true nature.
They gave their strength, not because they want to accumulate virtues and do good deeds, but recruit people and gather pawns.
Then, from many pawns, choose a front-line fighter to invade the main universe.
Kaecilius, the future disciple of the Ancient One, was deceived and became Dormammu's leading pawn.
Later, the invasion from the Dark Dimension failed, and the hapless Kaecilius was eaten and wiped clean, leaving nothing from body to soul.
"You only mentioned what I could get but never said anything about what I would have to pay."
Luke lifted his hand and pulled out a parchment contract. The words on it glowed red, seemingly containing peculiar power.
"In the human world, this kind of behavior is usually the beginning of a scam."
"Is there anything good in the multi-dimensional world that could be achieved without any effort?"
Chthon suddenly fell silent.
He generally proceeded to the last stage, when the power was to be given.
Most people were ecstatic, and few people would be cautious.
But in the end, they all surrendered to him.
'A mere Allfather-level can resist my spiritual influence?'
Chthon thought it was weird.
"See you next time, Chthon."
Luke waved his hand and said goodbye.
"At that time, maybe I could introduce to you a suitable protégé."
That parchment contract was instantly burned to ashes with Heat Vision.
The words imprinted on twisted like living creatures.

As if the attached force was excited, a crimson beam of light shot out.
"Cyttorak the Destroyer!"
Chthon was furious when he saw this scene.
The violent and messy mental impact blasted into Luke's consciousness.
The latter wasn't afraid, silently chanting long spells.
That was a temporary contract.
It could summon Cyttorak.
As one of the dimension demons, he was the most free-spirited and the most eccentric.
Cyttorak's method of invading the main universe was very simple- to randomly drop a 'Crimson Gem' in every timeline and every world.
He had always been too lazy to engage in intrigue, and the trading terms were always very direct:
Use my strength, and assume my shape.
The more they asked for from the Crimson Gem, the deeper they would be assimilated.
In the end, completely becoming a puppet of power.
Dedicating both hands to the Lord of Oblivion of the universe in which they live.
It sounded terrible, but because Cyttorak was a free spirit, he almost never came to collect debts.
Therefore, as long as people didn't touch his gem, there was almost no problem.
For example, the master of Kamar Taj was very fond of borrowing the power of this big man.
For example, 'The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak' was a common spell used by high-ranking masters.
"You would rather rely on the boring guy Cyttorak than be the mouthpiece of Chaos Magic?"
Chthon saw Luke take out the parchment contract and somehow had the feeling of being cuckold.
In terms of power, he didn't lose to the Lord of Oblivion.
On the degree of gift, he would gift package Chaos Magic when they needed it.
Other people would be grateful and willing to give their lives and souls.
But for some reason, Luke chose Cyttorak in the end!
Wasn't this bullying the honest people?
"Nonsense, with so many dimensional demons, only Cyttorak gives people a temporary contract and doesn't force the caster to pay."
Luke gave Chthon a contemptuous look. He had no idea what was going on in his mind.
Raising his hand, countless clones waved the scarlet chains and tied the head of the billowing demon flame into a dumpling.
Compared with the previous use of white magic and defensive spells, Luke fully utilized the advantages of the Superdemon card.
A steady stream of power was absorbed into the body.
Like the infinitely expanding sun, a terrible aura erupted.
"This is the power of the Crimson Universe?"
Luke only felt that his body was filled with copious power, and the crimson light was enveloping his entire body.
'Still want to assimilate the soul?'
The crimson light covered his whole body like running water. The only thing that wasn't contaminated was his head.
Superdemon was immune to mind control, so it rejected the aura entering his mind, which could turn people into fools.
"See you later, Chthon, the great god of the underworld."
Luke clenched his fingers and threw a fist.
The crimson light bursts out like a roaring wave.
The night sky in Washington, D.C., suddenly turned red.
The dense light invaded the clouds, the stars, and the moon.
Crack! Crack!
Space was like a fragile mirror, shattering and breaking.
He was abruptly struck with a terrible iron fist before Chthon could break free of the scarlet chains.
And still, the pure physical attack became magic penetration + physical blows, and the damage was an instantly full bar!
"Human ..."
Chthon's head was blasted back to the Chaos Dimension without being able to say the classic villain line, 'I will come back!'.
The ever-expanding spatial rift closed in an instant.
"I'm glad I can do magic and have resistance. Otherwise, dealing with Chthon would be troublesome. "
Luke shook off the influence of the crimson light on his soul, and after sending Chthon away happily, he hit the ground with a 'thud'.
He didn't learn from Iron Man and did a classic superhero landing, which was too much for his knee.
"Is there anything else?"
Luke's eyes were slightly coagulated and ready to use a Heat Vision to get the three kills instantly.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

Heart of the World (LitRPG)
This is the story of how I stabbed a bear. Well... technically speaking, that became the moment my life went into a vastly different direction, all on my way to 'The Mission'. The one I had been given alongside two other seasoned players. To help people in a world with a world. But, oh hoh, that bear... Don't get me started on that. So, apart from that, here is the gist of the other part. I'm a year long employee. Though, several years before I became an employee of theirs, this crazy ensuing madness of a Full Dive battle royale between even more companies started to boil over to a breaking point. Mine thought to search for something that would truly blow the competition out of the water. Well, they found it. Deep under the sea actually. They called it a game changer. Rumors abounded of course. But the most common knowledge became that it was a power source unlike the world had ever seen. However, I can tell you now, the unknown sometimes bump back. Especially when experimenting on highly unknown elements. Still, years safely went by and thus I became a developer there. Now, what does any of this got to do with stabbing a bear? Well, ask them that! They started it all. I'm new remember! Though, chaos ensued, and well, I was there. It probably helped that I had proven myself a good fighter in game and that I had some knowledge that could help with the triplets. Oh, but my sister would box my ears if she ever realized how little time I spent learning what the other developers created in the game before I had to go in there on, 'The Mission.' So, this is a story of a mission to save the people in Realm of Ancients. Not those rookies! Oh no, that was just a precurser. AND THERE WAS THE BEAR! Sorry, I had trouble getting over it. But that specific moment changed things. -- -- Hi! This is a project I have started for the fun. This is not your typical comedy. Yes, I added quite a bit humour to the story, BUT as things go into the eye of the storm the character will face challenges that hits him down. So it is not comedy in every chapter. But what do they say, when you've hit bottom, only way to go is up! :D I am always open to suggestions that might take the story to new heights, so you all are welcome to discuss the story in the comments. Just remember the all important SPOILER tags. ;) -Omri - I'd truly appreciate if you rate the story and leave reviews as we go. ;)

A God's Champion
James was an Operator who had the misfortune to die in battle. Instead of his soul moving on to his just reward, it is intercepted, and James finds himself on a new mission. Asked to be the Champion for Ignatius, God of Embers, he finds himself in a different world, fighting impossible creatures and trying to survive. Their lives now depend on his completing the Challenge and ranking in the top 500. But the odds are stacked against him, and he was a better operator than a swordsman. Chapters released Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 Warning: After Chapter 11, the MC undergoes a significant change of class and race. This is due to a couple of factors. The first is that when the MC was created, James didn't know what he was doing, so he picked what he thought would work. The second reason is that he had access to more information to game the system a little. The premise is like when you buy a new video game and decide to play it without RTFM. After creating a great character and making it to the end of the first act, you realize that, although your character may be kewl, it is gimped and will not survive until the end of the game. Going back to the start, you create a new character with the knowledge you gained from playing the game and perhaps, peeking at the manual.
