Chapter 63: A Superhero Comics and Movies Ignoramus
The taste was acceptable with the soy sauce.
He poured the food from the pot into the two bowls in even portions until the bowls were full.
Looking at the food, Selina was a bit dazed. “Well… It doesn’t seem yummy.”
Luke said, “This is for you to eat, not to look at. If you don’t want it, I’ll pack it up for lunch tomorrow. You can have the sandwich in the fridge.”
Selina shook her head quickly. “No; although it looks terrible, it smells great. I want this.”
Luke shrugged and placed a spoon into one of the bowls. “This bowl is yours.”
Then, he left for the living room with his bowl of food. Selina hurried to follow him.
They sat down in the living room. Luke lifted his bowl, and in passing, switched to the news channel on TV.
Selina, on the other hand, was too busy devouring the food to watch TV.
On the TV, several hosts were discussing how promising the economy looked, and what a great investment real estate was.
Luke chuckled.
A few years later, many people would be spitting blood because of real estate. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the two biggest mortgage companies, almost went bankrupt before the federal government took over.
He flipped to another channel. The host was speaking quickly next to the image of a mustached man.
For a brief moment, Luke was dazed.
“Tony Stark will soon meet with multiple corporations in Houston to discuss new space development programs…”
Luke was amused. How could Tony Stark be interested in space technology? Weren’t iron robots his favorite?
Despite his amusement, he listened to the news carefully.
It wasn’t because he liked Tony Stark, or because he intended to win the favor of this super magnate, but because Tony Stark was the best gauge.

As long as he focused on news of Tony Stark, he would know when the great era would arrive.
Regretfully, Luke hadn’t been interested in American comics in his previous life. He hadn’t watched many superhero movies, even during the years when they were the most popular.
As he recalled, the only Marvel movies he had watched were Iron Man 1, Avengers 1, and Thor 1.
He never watched the sequels to those movies.
He had only watched the first of the X-Men and Fantastic Four series.
He had watched other movies, such as Ghost Rider, Blade Warrior, Daredevil, Green Lantern and Deadpool, but he wasn’t sure if they would appear in this world. In any case, he remembered even less of those movies.
It was safe to say that Luke was ignorant when it came to superhero comics and movies.
Luke recalled that the Marvel movies began with Iron Man 1.
However, he didn’t intend to follow the movie plot, like many of his transmigrator predecessors might.
A simple reason: The incumbent president of America was a Latino woman, and the leader of China wasn’t the person in Luke’s memory.
Many things in this world were the same as Luke remembered, but there would always be subtle differences when it came to the details.
For example, Luke had investigated a long time ago, and discovered that there was no Apple Inc. here.
It would thus be impossible to become rich by buying Apple shares. Google existed, but not as a monopolizing company; instead, a search engine called Easygo claimed 30% of the market as Google’s major competitor.
It might be possible to make a fortune based on his memories about certain events from his last life, but it was also possible that he would lose all his money.
Besides, Luke didn’t have any initial capital, either.

It was also one of the reasons why Luke remained unknown at the age of eighteen.
On top of that, this was no ordinary world.
If he messed up, he might be serving himself up to some supervillain, if not Hydra.
Thus, Luke had been keeping a low profile up until his system activated.
His mind had been wandering, when Selina said, “Luke, darling.”
Luke looked at her, finding it weird. “What’s wrong?”
It wasn’t good whenever Selina called him “darling,” because it usually meant that she had a favor to ask.
Licking her lips, Selina’s eyes were focused on Luke’s hands. “You don’t seem very hungry, do you? Can you give me more?”
Luke was caught by surprise. “What?”
It wasn’t until then that he realized that Selina had finished the bowl of food.
“Are you… not full?” Luke asked suspiciously.
It had certainly been a big bowl of food. He had miscalculated and steamed too much rice.
Selina made a tough decision. “Just… just a little bit more. It’s really delicious.”
Lost for words, Luke could only give her some of his food. “Don’t force yourself. I’ll make you more later.”
Selina nodded quickly and picked up the spoon again.
Luke had a mouthful of the food himself, and savored it for a while. “Well, it’s okay. I don’t feel that it’s anything special.”
Selina said, “Is that so? But I think it’s very delicious.”
Luke chuckled.
He had made this mixture by stirring together fried ham slices, peas, shreds of mushroom and carrot, soy sauce, oil and garlic with steamed rice.
Luke had also fried two eggs in the pot and put them in the bowls in the end.
The rice was slightly red, which was the color of the soy sauce and oil mixed together. It was also why Selina had said it looked terrible.
A food mix was never pretty in the first place. It was fast food for lazy people.
For even lazier people, they didn’t even need to fry the ingredients, which could be sliced and steamed together with the rice.
Although it wasn’t very appetizing, it was both healthy and convenient.
Luke had been rather lazy in his last life, but he didn’t like restaurant food, so he had learned to cook easy meals in a pot.
Basically, the daily food he could make with a pot was enough to keep him fed his entire life.
He had been bad with knives in his last life, so cooking took him a while.
Now that he had high strength and dexterity, cutting vegetables was no longer a problem. It had taken him less than ten minutes to prepare such a pot of mixed food.
Luke chuckled at Selina’s satisfied yet scrunched up expression. It wouldn’t be too tricky to make food in the future. His roommate wasn’t picky.
Besides, Americans had their own fried food and food mix, too; their dirty rice was made up of small pieces of chicken liver.
But of course, not all Americans could take such food; many people wouldn’t eat or make it.

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!

Magic x Magic

In a century, half of the great continent was conquered by the Empire. Centuries after the death of its first Emperor, the Empire became a decaying place, full of misery and strife. The land of conspiracies. New countries, nations and kingdoms emerged. Everyone enjoys their moments of glory and growth. Power is spread across the continent, but is there still hope for a new dawn of the Empire? Will hidden powers make their moves? Everything follows as it is and as it has always been. The wealth, the poverty. The strong, the weak. The war, the peace. The life, the death. The perdition, the salvation. The beginning and the end. There is perfect order in the midst of all the disorder in the world. But what would happen if... ... A drop of chaos fell on this world? - - / - Book 01The Fall Through Chaos A new day has begun, a day like any other. An unusual group, made up of all kinds of characters and personalities, live another day in their own way. From the simplest and most humble, to the most distorted and irrational. An unusual mix, but actually a very common one. Such a group began a new day, a day like any other in their ordinary lives. At least it was supposed to be that way... ... An unknown phenomenon has brought chaos. Amidst the chaos, common and uncommon people fall into a new world, hailing from a world of modern society. A different world from the one they lived in, but still very similar. Who are these people? Who of them can survive amidst all this chaos? What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
