《Multiverse of Marvel》14. Accumulation (2)
Advertisement
In these few years Google and Facebook rose exponentially. There were signs of these two companies being the leader in IT sector. Slowly and steadily these two companies were incorporated in the daily lives of normal people.
People were surprised that the real person between these two giants was John Jameson. The media had whole discussion sessions on John and how he managed to acquire these two companies and even start new companies such as Twitter and Spotify. These ideas were unique and well ahead of the curve.
The hosts and analysts even argued that John was on the level of Tony Stark when it came to unique ideas and creativity. Google had even announced that they were working on cheap smartphones that the normal people could use in their day to day life.
All these accumulation over the years solidified John's position in the country and even politicians approached him for cooperation and helping them in their campaigns though he refused everybody politely. All his energy was to become strong enough to brush these politicians and military away as he didn't want dirt in his hands.
John personal worth was valued at 40 billion US dollars. Even though he had a long way to go to reach the wealth of Tony Stark but nobody would deny the fact that he might reach his level of wealth in future. Because John was still a teenager and Tony was already a grown man now. The media were eager to see the face off between John and Tony to fuel their tabloids but was surprised too see that they both never crossed each other's path.
John used a majority of his wealth to make Daily Bugle more modern and a larger part for charity for old people and children from all over the world. This earned a more goodwill from a huge population and in turn helped John in propagating his works via Disney and thus earning more fan values.

In fact the rumors in the media had started that John would soon be given Nobel Peace Prize for his work for humanity and making the lives of ordinary people easier and better.

Total fan value - 1.5 billion]
Over the years he had collected lots of fan values and it was all thanks to his movies and the story of Naruto. What came as a joy to John was that every episodes of Naruto gave new fan values to him. After asking the system he understood that every episode's fans value would get renewed in the next episode and so every episode gave him huge number of fan values.
John was overjoyed because when he saw the required fan values for Naruto, he almost crumbled at that point.
[Ding
Fan value for bringing Naruto(nine tails mode) to life - 250 million
fan value for the host to change to the character of Naruto - 125million
Fan value for bringing Sasuke ( Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan mode) to life - 250 million
fan value for the host to change to the character of Sasuke - 125 million
...
Fan value required to bring the whole world of Naruto - 1.7 billion
(The host can't bring all the characters as the story hasn't finished in this world)
After seeing the fan values he was really tempted to get Naruto and Sasuke out but he knew better, it's not time yet. He wasn't sure if the Sorcerer Supreme will open the portal and come to throw him away so before he was perfectly sure he wouldn't take any dangerous steps.
John felt that he wasn't much behind in bringing the whole world of Naruto to life. And he could realize his dreams soon but before that he would have to make sufficient preparations. After much contemplation and thinking he finally chose upon a movie which would help him in his daily life and help him against those who would try to spy upon him in future.

Actually even sometimes John felt he was being spied upon but he could only passively ignore as he wasn't strong enough to fight against those people. He guessed that it would be SHIELD but he wasn't sure. In fact he feared that it was Hydra but soon noticed that there was nothing unusual and he ignored it.
Hydra probably wasn't ready yet to show it's face and he was not dangerous enough to bring the Winter Soldier out. And probably Zola didn't care about him as his name would fall among the names in the Insight Project. In addition now there was SHIELD looking from far so Hydra didn't take any rash decision.
Finally he announced to the management of Disney that he would be directing a science fiction movie which wouldn't be an animation. This surprised the management as they always felt that their boss never cared about real stories. This brought a smile on their faces because they always felt that they could expand more but their boss never let them take this step. Bob was ecstatic when he heard this from John and arranged a meeting immediately.

8 252Paradigm Shift - New Beginnings
The known universe is facing an invasion from a foe that can rewrite the natural laws and that will destroy everyting we know. Derrick is ripped from his world and sent to the newest incursion point of an enemy he doesn't even know exists. He is the hail mary or kitchen sink of the universe and it will be up to him to adapt to his new world and become strong enough to survive and to save the universe. ********* Author's Note ********* This is my first published book so feedback would be appreciated. A couple of caveats. First this story is about the details, if you don't enjoy reading and finding the easter eggs or just like to speed read through the chapters you will probably not enjoy it. Second for those that do not like the Harem tag I just want to state that this is going to be a matriarchal society and the women will outnumber the men 5-1. That being the case and because of the culture that I imagine would arise from this I felt it fair to put that tag out there. However, the main character isn't going to be picking up women left and right. This is not a typical harem story. Image was googled so I have no rights to it

In some realities, the Keys to power are literal. Ryan Miller has spent two long, powerless years in the new and dangerous world that the breach dumped him into. With beasts roaming the countryside and powerful Guilds controlling the cities, the poor farmhand from Earth wants to take control of his own destiny. With no vast riches to his name, his only opportunity for a Key and control of his own life is to hunt and kill the dangerous monsters that plague the lands. And if he manages to get one, he'll have to fend off vicious Guild politics. But the rewards? Exploring beautiful vistas in far off lands and diving through breaches to other worlds for fame and profit. And, just maybe, he can rise high enough to achieve the freedom he seeks. For Ryan, it's more than worth the risk. Artist for Cover: https://www.deviantart.com/kvacm
8 147A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
8 197Evolution of the Lazy Gamer by Bruticus
It had been five years since the game Royalroad first appeared. A new expansion had been released and one person was assigned by his company to review it. That was the beginning of the story of a lazy, unheroic character who would meet others just as lacking in the heroism department as he was. Still life (or virtual life) throws you curve balls and you never know what will happen.
