Strand In The Marvel Universe

chapter 1

If you love someone, send him to New York because it is a paradise.

If you hate someone, send him to New York because it is hell.

Sitting in a chair and taking a picture of his chaotic head, He Yongzhi couldn't help but think of the two sentences he saw on the Internet.

He just returned from the hospital to a small restaurant in Chinatown, New York. He is now trying to sort out the 'ridiculous thing' that happened to him not long ago.

Before this, he never thought that he would one day become a part of this bustling city…

One is the fact that he's just an employee of a small-time company developing a mobile game in Volkswagen City. And the fact that he is still single despite already in his thirties with barely enough savings in his bank account. He even manages to buy his own place, despite having the stress every day to the point that it causes hair loss, and of course, no woman would be attracted to him since most women prioritize looks above anything else.

And now all of a sudden he's in someone else's body, a half English – Chinese man. Just a glimpse from the mirror, and he immediately realized this body has a very good genetic. The bright and white face, the cold and sharp eyes, the slightly upward thick eyebrows, the long and intense eyelashes. The height of 185 cm which is considered to be excellent in any country. The straight and robust body is matched with this handsome face. He's delighted if nothing else.

However, He Yongzhi, who doesn't even know how he ended up in this body, was not as excited as he thought. He's still trying to remember the last scene before his crossing…

He vaguely remembers that it was the seventh day of the project developing the ripoff game from a booming animation series "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," because they're just a small-time company, it's really important to finish it as fast as possible.

Of course, without any licensed copyright and authorization, they will use another name for the game, something not so far-off he can't really remember whether it is called YoYo's wonderful adventure, or JoJo mainland?

This is not the first time his company developed this ripoff game as they can just change the company's name and do this again, and again, as long as it is not big, the original author would not notice this kind of piracy.

When the project is decided, and all that's left is the development process, his boss held a party in his place. The purpose is to encourage his employees to finish this game as fast as possible despite their doubt. This kind of work is obviously illegal, and he can't force the employee to finish this kind of job, that's why he held a party.

These employees have nothing to blame but themselves. They're mostly those who aren't accepted at better companies and ended up here because of their lack of skills, knowledge, and perhaps luck. After all, society nowadays demands hard work and talent. There's nothing these failures can do but enjoy the food and drinks.

He Yongzhi's last memory is when he went to bed that night.

When he woke up, he found himself in the hospital ward of New York. In someone else's body to boot. He found out he was taken to the hospital by ambulance after asking a doctor. Both this body's father and mother are from China, but both of them are not as lucky as him as they're treated too late and ended up dead. This small restaurant in Chinatown is probably the last asset they have for their children.

"I'm supposed to be dead… Ironically I have watched a lot of these anime where the protagonists enter someone else's body when he's about to die. He never expected he would experience the same fate. He Yongzhi probably had a gist about the cause of his death, but he was not fazed by this.

After all, his own life is far from the word interesting or fulfilling. He can't even call it living, all he did is wake up, go to work, and sleep repetitively every day. There are no relatives, no wives, and children. At most, there are only a few friends to eat and drink together, and they're not that close, to begin with.

When he touched his face, all of a sudden, all memories from this body surge into his brain. The first thing he knew is the fact that he was poisoned along with his parents. Nobody knew this fact, and even if he called the police, they wouldn't believe him since police there is pretty much corrupt.

And if it weren't for him, these three would have held their hands together and die.

In fact, even the doctor thought he's already beyond saving as well. Fortunately, there's a story of miracles occurred in the hospital, for example, a 70-year old woman who regained consciousness when she's about to be buried. So the doctor had no choice but to accept this fact.

"Forget it, it's useless to think about it right now, I'll just do whatever I can do."

He knew more bad news is waiting for him, and there's no point in getting stressed thinking about all this. And it's not like he doesn't have anything. His parents owned a small restaurant with 6 or 7 tables, this is probably enough to sustain his basic needs in this bustling city. In case the business is not going well. He could sell the restaurant and then return to China as well.

Although technically it's not his, since he's stuck in this body now, he might as well use everything he can use.

In the middle of his deep thought, the phone rings.

He Yongzhi reached out to his pocket and take out a phone.

"Hey, Dio, I heard you get discharged today. Have you fully recovered? I'm sorry about Uncle Brando and Aunt He, don't be such gloom. If you need money, I have a little saving here. Also, I know a good cemetery for both of them, the price is relatively low, of course, I didn't mean to remind you about them or anything, I'm just…"

From the memory he got, He Yongzhi knows that he can't hang the phone now. The caller is Will Jos, his current body's friend, a black guy who doesn't know who his father is, he has been in a gang ever since he's a kid. But he is warm and caring, and he's already grateful for being able to eat warm food in He's place.

chapter 2

The phone is still connected, Will had a unique accent like most black people but since He Yongzhi almost never heard of this accent he ended up listening untill the end.

And he's having this weird feeling because his name now is the same as the villain character in a ripoff game he's about to develop.

JoJo?

No, it's me, Dio!

Perhaps this is fate…

When Diois thinking about the original JoJo series, he suddenly realized that there's something familiar within his sight.

A familiar interface appeared in front of him, a sense of deja vu tingles his mind…

"This is the exact interface from that game! How the hell is this here?"

Dio knew from the novel and anime about this kind of story; usually, the protagonist is granted some kind of special power. He never thought he would get one too, and seeing this interface excites him!

"Hey, are you listening? You're there, right?"

Ah? Ah! Sorry, what did you say again?" Dio is so surprised that he forgets he's on the phone with Will.

"I said that you should take proper rest. I will fetch you tomorrow and check out the cemetery. I didn't expect THAT playboy Tony Stark would be so generous."

"OK, I'll do just that, see you tomorrow."

"Got it, take care, Bro!"

Dio hung up the phone quickly, but then he remembered the name Will mentioned…

Tony Stark!?

Could it be…

Dio finally realizes how serious this situation is, he's not in the world he belonged to!

He sets aside his intention to inspect the special power and immediately takes out his mobile phone and searches online.

After a few minutes, he was utterly speechless. Stark Industries… Many well-known names actually exist, not as an actor but as the real deal.

Whether he can, believe it or not, turns out, he crosses into the Marvel universe.

Fortunately, it's still 2010 here, so the fight off against Thanos is still far off, but the thing is Dio doesn't even remember the exact time about the big fight or any important event occurring in the movie, he merely knows the heroes and the fact that they fought villains to save the planet.

And if someone carelessly alters the timeline in this universe, it could lead to a time paradox.

Suddenly realizing his situation freaks him out, and he felt the urge to return to his previous life. At least it's peaceful in his last life. But here alien attacks are already like some daily occurrence, even this city which is far from New York is pretty much a dangerous area!

But if he doesn't do anything, Thanos will be able to gather all six infinity stones, and with a snap of a finger, half of the universe is gone.

The chance is still 50%, but he believes he's amongst the ones with bad luck!

Every time he and his team completed a game, he tested the game out to find bugs gacha rate, etc.

And based on his experience, he never got lucky in gacha game, not even once! Meanwhile, his friends got a lot of useful SSRs.

He can't get one even when gacha rate is increased by 10 times!

So relying on luck is not an option for him!

And now that he's in someone else's body, he would like to compare which one is luckier, his old self or his current self!

Thinking about it makes him forget about the urge to return to his previous life.

Now that he gets a special power, he'll utilize it no matter ho weak it's gonna be, he's determined to survive!
