Marvel: Age of Hero

YoDarki
Owen Colt didn’t ask to be reincarnated. And definitely not into the most chaotic, explosive universe of them all: the world of superheroes. No systems. No fancy nanotech suits. No powers (or so he thought)... Armed with nothing but the memories of a past life and a burning will not to die as cannon fodder, Owen made the only choice he could: train, harden himself, and survive. From childhood, every step he took was an investment in his future: intelligence, weapons, tactics, hand-to-hand combat, military strategy. He became the perfect soldier... only to walk away just before the world was about to explode. Because he knew that once caped gods started falling from the sky, the first to die would be the regular soldiers. His plan? Stay out of it. Don’t be just another name on a grave. His reality? A corpse at his doorstep, an assassin trained like a Black Widow, and a conspiracy that drags him straight into the deadliest chessboard in the entire Marvel Universe. Because sometimes, you don’t choose to be a hero. Sometimes, chaos chooses you. And Owen Colt... is more than ready to hit back. Quick Note: Yes, he will have superpowers. The story is based on the MCU, but I’ll be incorporating elements from the comics too, including certain heroes. I have no intention of making this a harem—unless explicitly requested. At most, the protagonist won’t have a fixed partner, but rather a “friends with benefits” type of relationship. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction based on the MCU and Marvel Comics. I do not own the rights to Marvel, its characters, stories, or original concepts. All rights belong to their respective owners. The only original character is OWEN COLT, whose story and development are entirely my own. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

The Sovereign’s Name: KRYZENITH VOID-HEART

Synopsis: The Bastion of the Twelve (The Final Descent) ​The Bastion of the Twelve is a metaphysical epic tracing the journey of Haoran and Yuxiao as they lead a sanctuary of outcasts through the Forbidden Deep. The Archive, a divine machine of absolute order, treats their existence as a "narrative error" that must be corrected through total erasure. ​The heart of the story lies in the sanctuary’s Metallurgical Metamorphosis, where the city’s physical shell transforms through periodic elements to counter divine protocols. From the Tellurium Logic-Engines to the Thorium Nuclear Hearts, each transformation is a desperate attempt to stay written on the page of existence. ​The Tragedy of the Twin-Logic ​The core conflict is not just between the sanctuary and the Archive, but within the "Lattice of Will" that binds Haoran and Yuxiao. To protect the refugees, they must merge their souls into the city’s core, becoming the very syntax that holds the world together. However, the Archive’s final protocol—the Absolute Paradox—is designed to turn the two pillars of the sanctuary against one another. ​The Climax: The 5,000th Gate ​As the sanctuary reaches the final threshold of the 5,000th chapter, the Archive forces a "Resolution." The divine logic dictates that for the refugees to transition into a new, safe universe, the "Authors" of the rebellion—Haoran and Yuxiao—must be purged to balance the cosmic scales. ​The story concludes in a devastating Zero-Sum Strike: ​The Final Betrayal: Under the weight of the Archive’s corruption, the two protagonists are forced into a terminal duel. Their powers, which once resonated in perfect harmony, become polar opposites—one of absolute density and the other of absolute void. ​The Mutual Sacrifice: Realizing that the only way to break the Archive’s cycle is to leave the narrative entirely, they choose to kill each other simultaneously. By dying at each other’s hands, they create a "Logical Void" that the Creator God cannot fill. ​The Legacy: Their blood fuels the final transformation of the sanctuary into a Trans-Finite Realm, a world without a master. The refugees survive, but the book closes on the image of Haoran and Yuxiao’s armor drifting in the deep, locked in a final, lethal embrace. ​The book ends not with a victory, but with a Final Punctuation—the protagonists become the martyrs of their own story, ensuring that while they perish, their words remain unerasable.
