Chapter 29: Sanguan Broken, The Timeline Has an Owner

"The first timeline is relatively normal—it leads to the future where the purple sweet potato snaps his fingers," Natasha Romanoff continued. "And the second one is the zombie universe… a future where even that purple sweet potato essence isn’t spared."

"Why do I feel like these two might be the same thing?" Clint Barton muttered. "What’s the difference? The purple potato snapping his fingers is basically a world-ending event, and the zombie universe sounds just as bad. In the e...

Chapter 28: Pointing to the Zombie Universe

"For example, if the Allied Powers had lost World War II and the Axis Powers had emerged victorious, no matter the cause, a completely different timeline would have been created," Nick Fury said. "I think that’s what Luo Chen’s diary is referring to."

The others nodded in agreement. That explanation made the most sense.

But if that were the case, what kind of catastrophe could be even worse than the one involving the so-called "purple sweet potato" and his infamous snap?

Chapter 27: What Is Scarier Than Thanos Snapping His Fingers?

The destruction caused by the green titan, Hulk, was no less than that of any super-criminal. Even when left unchecked by the military, his rampages left behind devastation that was impossible to ignore.

If Hulk weren’t so destructive, he wouldn’t have been such a high-priority target for Nick Fury.

A powerhouse like him could be a terrifying weapon—capable of tearing through enemies with ease. But the problem was, if he wasn’t controlled, he could just as easily level his...

Chapter 26: Superhero or Super Criminal? A Thin Line

"Superhero Registration Act?"

The moment Nick Fury received an update about the diary, he rushed to his office, skipping dinner entirely. Alongside him was Natasha Romanoff, as well as a few of his most trusted S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives—Phil Coulson, Maria Hill, and Clint Barton (Hawkeye).

These were the people Fury trusted completely within S.H.I.E.L.D.

For once, he didn’t even bother complaining about Luo Chen’s strange habit of writing in his diary du...

Chapter 25: Surprised by the Superhero Registration Act

It was clear that George and Gwen held completely different views on the subject of Superman. Gwen represented the perspective of the common people—drug dealers and other criminal elements had either been eliminated by Luo Chen or rendered incapable of further wrongdoing. Some had even fled the area altogether.

After all, Luo Chen was rather lazy. So far, his efforts to uphold justice had been limited to the vicinity of his own neighborhood. He wasn’t keen on traveling too far, espe...

Chapter 24: Meeting the 'Father-In-Law'

In a remote street in Queens, New York, a sharp scream pierced the air.

A blonde girl, no older than seventeen or eighteen, with freckles dusting her cheeks, found herself cornered by a group of seven or eight gangsters.

“Don’t come any closer!” she cried, her face pale with panic.

She had only intended to take a shortcut home but had instead stumbled into a nightmare. The city’s crime rate had been worsening lately, and now she was paying the price.

“It’s ...

Chapter 23: The Second Lottery Draw – Related to Superman Again?

Just thinking about it made Tony Stark’s head throb even more. The Hollywood screenwriters beyond the fourth wall had probably just pitched an interactive idea to boost box office sales or ratings. But for those living in this reality, it was a massive headache.

A speedster from another universe? That alone sounded like a logistical nightmare.

"Don’t these screenwriters have anything better to do?" Tony muttered, feeling like his skull was about to split open.

It was as ...

Chapter 22: Iron Man – Omnic Crisis in the Future?

Tony Stark quickly realized that this "Ultron" was most likely connected to him—after all, it was the name of his backup artificial intelligence project.

He didn't believe in coincidences, especially now that he knew he was the protagonist of this unfolding story. With that in mind, many things could no longer be dismissed as mere chance.

"Omnic Crisis?" Tony narrowed his eyes. He had never doubted the reliability of his artificial intelligence. After all, AI had to follow its c...

Chapter 21: Tony: Ultron Is My Artificial Intelligence?

Nick Fury is likely one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to science. After all, the black technologies within S.H.I.E.L.D. far exceed the imagination of the outside world, supported by the combined forces of the five major countries.

As a result, many of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technologies remain invisible to the public. It can even be said that some of them are more than 20, and even 30, years ahead of the outside world.

However, when it comes to parallel universes, it’s ...

Chapter 20: Wanda's Parallel Space-Time Massacre

For a super agent like Natasha Romanoff, death was nothing new or unacceptable. Every mission came with the possibility of death.

Given her background and years of high-risk operations, death wasn’t an uncommon outcome. In fact, dying with minimal pain was one of her greatest hopes.

People in her line of work didn’t shy away from death.

"It's not inevitable!" Nick Fury said. "No matter what the truth of our world is, at least now we know it in advance and we can change i...

Chapter 19: Widow Sister Sees Her Death Breaking News

With Tony Stark’s temperament, he definitely didn’t hold much respect for gods. To him, the so-called gods were little more than powerful beings, or entities that current science couldn’t yet explain.

There was no sense of fear, as common people might feel!

However, even Tony Stark couldn’t deny that things were becoming increasingly complicated. All sorts of monsters and superheroes were already a handful, and now, a god—Thor—was about to join the mix.

"J.A.R.V....

Chapter 18: Exposing Mjolnir

There were also those who specifically fought against vampires—the Daywalker, Blade Warrior. It seemed like the protagonist of a certain story.

At least, that's what Nick Fury thought he had learned.

There had been many incomprehensible things at first—things that didn’t make sense, like why a Daywalker existed among vampires. But now, it was clear. The protagonist always had something special about them.

And then there was Daredevil. A blind man with such skill, capab...

Chapter 17: The Three Views of the Braised Egghead Are Collapsing

The sudden appearance of this diary on his desk made Nick Fury’s eyelids twitch.

This was outrageous!

As Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was one of the most well-informed mortals in the world. Aliens, werewolves, vampires, mutants—nothing phased him.

But he had never encountered anyone who could deliver an object like this directly to his desk.

He immediately called in agents to scan the office, but despite their thorough search, no surveillance devices or anything un...

Chapter 16: Nick Fury Got a Diary, Too

Kryptonian blood—not just any Kryptonian blood, but the body of steel like Superman.

Clearly, all Kryptonians are special, but Superman’s blood is arguably the most unique. There is almost no upper limit to its power.

Though the "Man of Steel" form is just one of Superman's more common iterations, and Luo Chen currently possesses only the most basic version—lacking even the ability to fly—it doesn't matter. He'll gain that power eventually. After all, there’s still some ...

Chapter 15: Lottery Draw – Superman: Man of Steel

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark wasn’t sure whether to feel proud or somewhat disheartened.

He was, after all, only human, and as such, immortality was beyond him. So, if his time came to an end—whether through retirement, age, or dying in battle—he would have to accept it. But the idea that his career would end even before he’d truly begun left him feeling uneasy.

However, as he reflected on what he had accomplished, Luo Chen’s evaluation of him—comparable to that of a ...

Chapter 14: With a Mortal Body, Equal to the Gods

In an instant, Tony Stark recalled everything mentioned in the diary, which had greatly altered his perspective.

He would be kidnapped in Afghanistan in the future, experiencing a narrow escape. But why, as the chairman of a major company, would he be sent to Afghanistan to test new weapons for the military?

It was because his Uncle Obadiah had forced him to go, insisting that he had to do something for the company. This had planted a seed of doubt about Obadiah in Tony’s mind.<...

Chapter 13: Knowing the Truth, Iron Man's Rage

"Although it might just be a coincidence or a name with similar syllables, it’s still a clue!" Tony Stark said.

"There's a small country in South Asia mentioned—how about this: help me contact the archaeology departments at Ivy League schools and well-known professors in the history departments. I want to fund $50 million for their research. But I have one request: I want them to organize a scientific expedition to South Asia immediately to search for information about this Ancient ...

Chapter 12: Tony: Will the Green Titan Hulk Also Be a Protagonist?

Although Tony didn't fully understand whether Luo Chen was referring to this world or the story within this series, he could infer something important. Given the existence of Iron Man, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and possibly other superheroes and super-criminals, the world he inhabited could be the setting for a series of interconnected stories.

If he had saved the world—whether literally or by saving the box office of this series—it was enough to confirm that Tony Stark was, indeed,...

Chapter 11: Iron Man: Yes, I Am The Most Powerful Superhero

When Tony Stark watched Hollywood blockbusters in the past, he never truly understood the heart of the screenwriters. After all, everyone knew it was just fiction. Who would get upset over the fate of fictional characters?

But now that his own fate was being manipulated, everything felt different.

When J.A.R.V.I.S. reminded him that people around him could be hurt because of him, Tony’s heart nearly stopped. It felt as though someone had grabbed his chest and squeezed.

Chapter 10: Tony—Am I the Protagonist of a Hollywood Blockbuster?

At least based on the limited information available, there seemed to be no limit to what was happening.

Although J.A.R.V.I.S. could infiltrate the military's network, the more classified systems were physically disconnected, making it impossible to access them directly. This explained why Tony Stark had such limited knowledge about the matter.

What he did know was that the creation of those monsters was likely connected to the military—probably some kind of secret military exper...

Chapter 9: Tony—So I Am Iron Man in the Future

Luo Chen didn’t know that his diary had been copied again, and that it had fallen into Gwen’s hands. All of his private thoughts were now exposed through his writings.

When Luo Chen met the heroine Gwen today, he thought he had done a good job of covering up his true feelings. He was careful not to reveal anything too personal. With his current abilities, it seemed safest to avoid these plot characters altogether.

Even though Beacon Country wasn’t exactly a safe place, and N...

Chapter 8: Gwen Sees the Diary—Lightning Strikes

Who ever said that writing a diary requires spoilers?

Anyway, as long as he’s happy, Luo Chen can write whatever he wants in his diary. No one else is going to see it.

Plus, writing in this diary is incredibly convenient—no need to physically write it down. Every thought simply appears in the diary on its own.

At that moment, he had just finished teaching Gwen Stacy and was enjoying her adoring gaze, but he left soon after. He preferred to keep his distance from the main...

Chapter 7: Finally, Something Even the Traverser Doesn't Know

In his own universe, the possible versions of himself and the Dutch brother Spider-Man exist in a father-son dynamic, along with the Amazing Spider-Man universe and another Spider-Man universe. Then there’s Gwen, who appears as Spider-Woman in several parallel universes.

At this point, there were already enough parallel universes to make his head spin!

Tony Stark suddenly felt a headache coming on. Why was he suddenly dealing with multiversal matters?...

Chapter 6: A Wholesale of Spider-Men?

"You mean something like the super soldier serum? The one my old man mentioned back then?" Tony Stark asked, his mind immediately grasping J.A.R.V.I.S.'s implication.

There were only two logical explanations for the existence of so many Spider-Men.

Either they were counterparts from different parallel universes—just like how there were multiple versions of him in alternate realities.

Or…

Chapter 5: The Three Spider-Men Together—Another Reality Shattered

From the contents of Luo Chen’s diary, it was clear that he wasn’t the only Tony Stark.

In fact, there were versions of Tony Stark across parallel universes—some of whom looked nothing like him.

Which meant…

He wasn’t necessarily the Tony Stark of Universe-1999.

Maybe this wasn’t Universe-1999 at all.

Maybe he was just another variant in a similar parallel world. Otherwise, why would there be inconsis...

Chapter 4: Shattering Iron Man’s Perception of Reality

So what if she was supposed to be his heroine? Why was she called an unlucky heroine?

Did that mean that anyone who got involved with him was doomed to a tragic fate?

The thought reminded Tony Stark of those cliché Hollywood films where being the protagonist’s friend or relative was practically a death sentence. Accidents, kidnappings, or outright murder—being close to the hero never seemed to end well.

And then, right before his eyes, new words began appe...

Chapter 3: Meeting Spider-Woman Gwen – Is New York Really This Small?

In this world, no one understands its dangers and horrors better than Luo Chen. The entire world is filled with peril, and being a superhero often means a tragic fate. Take Tony Stark, for example—he snapped his fingers and died.

Superheroes not only face life-threatening battles but also risk being replaced by new-generation heroes. Sometimes, their demise is dictated by forces beyond the fourth wall—actors leaving, scandals surfacing, or creative shifts leading to their downfall.<...

Chapter 2: Serious People Keep a Diary—So Will I!

"So… does this mean the world we live in might actually be part of a story?"

After coming to this conclusion, Tony Stark couldn't help but feel how utterly absurd it sounded. What kind of ridiculous theory is that?

The very idea that his world could be nothing more than fiction—just a story—made his head spin. If this were true, everything he had ever known, everything he had built, could have been predetermined by someone else.

In 2008, within the headquarters of Stark Industries in New York, Tony Stark sat at his desk, skimming through the latest quarterly financial report that his assistant, Pepper Potts, had prepared.
