Chương 8: Marvel's Earth

From his finds it was pretty obvious where he was now. It was the Marvel Universe, that Celestial had brought him to the Marvel Universe.

A universe known to those who are in the know to be incredibly dangerous even beyond the surface level unfortunately though he didn't know much about that danger.

That fact alone made this realm to be even more dangerous for him. It was a world he had only seen on TV and that version of the world was only a tony portions of the vast universe known as the Marvel Universe.

"Probably gonna die soon but..." He said as a huge smile formed on his face.

"It is worth the challenge!" He thought as he turned back to the screen.

One thing was for sure, the Tony Stark he found here looked nothing like Robert Downey Junior but the deeds matched with what he knew of Tony Stark.

He was reckless, alcoholic, smart and the CEO of Stark Industries which was handed to him after his parent's death.

That part was familiar but the person himself didn't look familiar. Either way though, he planned to challenge this world to the very end and win.

"Is the owner here?!" A voice asked as he immediately turned away from the screen

Looking up, he saw a customer who like he had done probably wanted to place a bet as well.

"She's out for now, you can come back in about twenty minutes, she will be here then" he said calmly

"Okay" the person replied before leaving

Seeing the man leave, he turned back to the computer but this time, he went back to the betting software. He wanted to try his luck again.

No matter how he saw it, his luck as of them was due to the Celestial who had wished him luck. Such a lucky encounter shouldn't be possible and too random.

Now that he thought about it, the probability of him winning the money he had won wasn't in his favour but he had done it. He wasn't normally that lucky so if the lucky was from the Celestial, it would make sense that he uses it to its fullest.

Deciding on a stake of five hundred dollars, his brain ran through all the options. Calculating all sorts of probablities before placing his bet, he placed five bets, each one costing about five hundred dollars.

The plan was simply that if one of them fell through, the other will surely go through and earn him back his money.

The probablities were high and he felt the Celestial's luck was still on his side. The man waited as he scanned through all the media around him learning more about the games, he bet on and realizing where he stood.

Without realizing it, he underwent change after change. His aura slowly became refined comparable to that of an experienced overlord or something similar.

His muscles tightened and in turn made him look slimmer even if it was only by a tiny bit. To anyone with an observant eye, they would easily notice the differencw between the man that came into the store and the one who sat before them now.

After several minutes, the lady came back. In her hands were several bags, like he had requested, she bought him a smartphone, some clothes and a few other items she felt necessary for his situation aka toothbrush, soap etc
