《A marvel rise》prologue rewrite
Advertisement
A ten-year-old boy was staring down at a newspaper article, he was sprawled out on his house's living room floor, The paper article was about a new up and coming company, Stark Industries. Alexander Grey or just Alex was stunned speechless.
"How is this possible." He mumbled, for the first ten years of his new life he figured that he had come back in time on earth, a weird odd earth but still earth. He figure he'd reincarnated to a time before he was ever born, like way back in the past compare to his previous life. Now, the truth was right before him, he didn't come back in time, he traveled into a completely different dimension.
"What? This is so not fair! I'm in the fucking marvel universe and I don't get anything?! Where are my mutant powers or cheat system, why God why!" He was rolling on the ground mourning and bitching about his lost opportunity.
It's a good thing that for the past ten years he had shown off an above level of intelligence. While he did show off, it could easily be traced back to him remembering his past life. He had grown to be a 40-year-old man before dying of a heart attack. So understanding his school work and having A+ on all subject was easy, since before he was living in the year 2020 when he died. And now he was in the year 1929, and so since he had shown a high level of intelligence and maturity his parents didn't mind leaving him home alone for a few hours.
At first, he was sad on loosing everything and anyone he knew, he also was frustrated that he was back in time before anything even close to his level of comfort. He bounced back form that in about the first two years, to which he had promise to black out that periode of his life, the humiliation of being completely defenceless was not pleasant and other darker things as well. So he came up with the idea of becoming an inventor of all kind of product and making billions. But now with the revelation of him being in the fricking marvel universe, he started to slowly re-evaluate his future plans.

"Ok enough moping." He stopped rolling around and wiping off his tears and snot with a tissue. He was still shocked that the world as he knew it was completely different, and that it was a world were he was at bottom of a very dangerous food chain. Just thinking about all the future events and then looking at the year he was in, he realized that in few years ww2 would start, instead of simply having to fight a bunch of human natzis, he would have to watch out for other supers in the war.
"I'm so very screwed, if this is anything like i think, my chances of survival are very low rigth now. I thought that I could become a scientist and stay back in a base surrounded by soldier creating stuff, instead of being in the middle of a fucking war. But this crap, even if i stay in a base, theirs a good chances that even staying in a safe place could put me in danger. Wait a minute, isn't the birth of Captain America on the horizon." He stop and thought about this, could this be a chances to bring up his survivability.
"If I could..., maybe I could become Captain America! Yeah that could work, all I need is to prepare now and I could become one of my all-time favorite superhumans!" Alex grin as imagine himself in that classic red white and blue, and let's not forget the shield. The more he thought about it the more he liked the idea of taking up the role of one of the most iconic superhumans in the Marvel universe.
"Sorry Steve, I'm going to take your place in history." Alex said with a grin as he laughed.

Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
