Bored. So, god damn bored. An office monkey pushing the same buttons, at the same time, in the same cubicle, surrounded by like minded robots in their cubicles. None happy, and long for 5 to come sooner, and even more so there paycheck. That's why we do this right? Our paycheck? The hope that one day we will retire and finally be happy? Fuck that. Waiting till your 70, hoping you have grandkids and money to FINALLY be happy? I’m sick of this bullshit world. I just want to have fun.

The only joy I have been getting recently is looking at the sketchy sites on TOR. Yah yah, I know, you shouldn't go to the dark web, but this shits pretty interesting. The anonymous chat rooms are more scuffed than 4chan chat rooms.

God, how did my life end up this way? My life boiled down to sitting in this fucking cubicle 8 hours a day, eating and sleeping. When I was young I never thought “Hey, can't wait to grow up and work as a cog in this soul draining machine of a corporation”. Sure I make good money, but I don't even feel human anymore. Just, going through the motions. No kids, no girlfriend, no family that genuinely wants anything to do with me. Just alone. I need some adventure in my life. Something exciting. Fuckin hell. Anything is better then the current situation.
Upon posting this to an anonymous site, he clicks open Tor, a popular browser allowing the user to access all the sites, not just the filtered ones. He began browsing the usual sites, from blackmarkets, selling guns, drugs, etc. The illegal stuff. To live sites of 4 people playing russian roulette, with the viewers betting bitcoin. As he's browsing there's a pop up ad.

Got a problem? Hire one of our Cleaners.
The ad brandishing a picture of that hitman game character.
Seeing this ad, he dragged the mouse to the X in the top right. “Right, if I click that I’ll get all kinds of viruses” he thought to himself with a chuckle. He goes to press the X but stops himself, his interest was piqued despite it most likely being a virus. He thinks it over, the pros outweighing the cons in his mind. He drags his mouse to the “Hire” button. As he clicks it, a new tab opens. It's indeed what he thought, a hitman hiring site. He looked over the site, “10k in bitcoin for a usa target, not a bad price.” he thought. He looked at the rules, no people under 16, no top 10 politicians. He kinda laughed and shrugged, and brought his mouse to the X button of the tab, before getting an idea. “What if I hire one on myself?” he had thought to himself. He laughed over the idea, but then really started pondering the idea. He sat there for 1 to 2 hours, staring at the screen as if watching a still movie. He saw on the site “Will respond within 1 hour or 50% off your order, email first”. He thought “Fuck it, at least email to see whats up”. He emailed the address at the bottom of the page and sure enough, within 15 minutes got a response. It went over the rules, requirements and payment. “We will get the job done within 2 weeks” he read, and the more he did the more and more he was sure of this game of his. He emailed him back his own info, and got a response, “Good, and the payment?”. He brought up his bank account and looked at it. 30k. He would be spending a third of his savings. He began having second thoughts before thinking how he got this money. He was sure. He went to a bit con conversion site and got 10k worth in bitcoin, and wired it to the routing number. “Sent.” he wrote to the man. “Good, your issue will be cleansed in the next two weeks, starting tomorrow, don't worry. Your money was well spent”. “Good, I can't wait.” he replied. The gravity begins to set into him, he had read “No refunds, once the money is wired, your issue will be dealt with”. But he didnt feel fear, but pure joy. He was in for the game of his life. He got up and got in his car. He drove to a nearby gun store.

I'm not sure what I just got myself into, but this will be a blast. Just stopped at a gun shop and bought myself a Springfield XD pistol and a Barrett m82 sniper rifle. Along with a shit load of ammo. Fuck, can tommorow come any sooner?

I just called my boss to go fuck off. Felt so relieving.
He begins to drive to an old novelty “Spy Shop”. He buys all these trackers, cams, binoculars etc. He heads home around 10:45 and heads to bed. He wakes up at 5:45, and heads into the kitchen. He looks around his house one last time. He grabs a piece of paper, and writes a note for his pursuer.
“Tag, your it.”
He leaves this note on his dining room table, and heads out. He gets in his car and drives into an area across the street relatively hidden. He waits there watching his house, eventually getting hungry. He heads to burger king and buys a bunch of burgers, to last him a while. He returns to his vantage point. He waits a while, and eventually spots a black SUV driving slowly. He grabs his Binoculars, and zooms in. The windows were tinted. “Is this my guy?” he thought to himself. “What am I thinking, of course its my fucking guy.” and sure enough the SUV stopped outside his residence. A man in a suit steps out of the car, and walks to the door. He pulls a device and puts it up to the handle, and in a moment the door clicks open and he enters. He shifted his gaze to the vehicle. He writes down the SUV’s plate number. He waits until the man comes out. When he does he stuffs something in his back pocket. “His Gun” he thought to himself. The man was wearing a black suit, red tie, slightly overweight and bald. “What a stereotypical hitman” he thought to himself. He notices the man crumble up a piece of paper and throws it on the ground. The man gets in his car and drives away. He waits about 30 minutes before going over and looks at the paper, which was his “Tag, your it.” note. He begins to chuckle to himself. “Good, now he knows this won't be an easy hit. He knows that this game has just begun. This will truly be fun.” he thought to himself.

Slightly Contradictory
I did not expect to die, but for the same outcome I would die once more. I did not expect to wake up again, but as soon as I did I was told to die. I did not expect anything from this new life, which has since given so much. I still do not know what the future holds, but there is one thing I am certain of; I will fight to get there if I have to, and I will fight twice as hard for my family!

Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.
