Dragon in Marvel

After successfully being accepted for my new job position; whatever that was, at this point, I'll take Pet Dragon; it was time for my body creation and then my OJT (On the Job Training).

The mass of reality was ever-changing, ever-shifting, and shining! like a smaller multiverse yet different! My Precious!!! WAIT!! keep it in!

Don't let your new boss see the inner you! Don't get fired before the OJT! Breath in... Breath out... Alright as I was saying, I calmly approached the mass of reality and decreased my size to match its own; I dispersed my scales, returned to my spherical shape, and then was absorbed by the ever-shifting mass, which will become my body. 

It took more than I expected, to be aware again, but I started feeling it, my body, my bones, my muscles, my nerves, my blood, my scales... scales?

I thought I was going to go back to my human body! Oh god! Please don't let me become an eldritch abomination!

Yes, I'm a Dragon! A shiny Dragon! A DRAGON! A DRAGON! If I'm going to be something inhuman I rather be a dragon than an eldritch slime, there's no Raphael here to help acquire a human shape and I lost my lite version of Predator.

OK, Calm down! I just came from eons of torture, a slime is not that bad, don't be ungrateful... I'm a Dragon! Yes, a Dragon! A SHINY DRAGON!

After my peaceful fusion of body and soul... heh! I'm like a cultivator ascending who knows what realm fusing my body and soul, overcoming the heavens, destroying my heart demons, pfff! No, seriously now, my boss is looking at me funnily over here.

After my fusion, I wanted to look at my reflection in the nearby conveniently placed river where every isekai character can check out his Greek-god-basic-level-body's reflection, but I'm in what I assume to be the workplace of my boss, no rivers here or mirrors, and I can't use creation inside the barrier, so I had to ask my new boss for some help.

"Boss, Can I get a mirror?"

"...Boss?"

"Yes Boss!! I've never got your name, heck I didn't give you my name either!... But maybe it's time to change it for a new one representing the new me"- At least I know I don't look human, that much is clear.

"Hahahaha, Where are my manners? Sorry, I just haven't seen a soul as peculiar as yours before, so I got distracted. I'm called One, One Above All! Nice to meet you! Maybe it is time for a new name indeed"

…Did he just say One Above All? As in OAA? Not Juan Abohol? Like in Marvelicious Comics? 

"Ehmm Boss One? Why do I feel like I recognized your name?"

"Well, because most likely you do, all verses are somehow connected to each other, as you have seen with the time synchronization, so this verse most likely showed up in your word in the shape of a legend, movie, song, comic, TV series, animation or any other format of written text, sometimes dreams too, it depends on the fundamental makeup of your verse."

"So, this is Marvel?"

"I think that is one of the names that it's called."

"And the information on the comics/movies/series/games is accurate?"

"Depending on the depiction but usually 70% to 80%. It's hard to get everything right, so if you are going to use that as a basis for the future my advice is to take it with a grain of salt. But with those eyes of yours, you should be able to work on my tasks with no problems, it's hard to hide truths from those eyes, you are not that strong but you are highly unkillable and slippery, your greatest attack is unusable in a planet so you'll have to do with your body, psychokinesis and energy manipulation. Thanks to your abnormal soul the amount of energy needed to seal you via space or time is more than a Universe's worth so you'll definitely be able to work on my tasks."

"Thanks, Boss One! What are these tasks that you mentioned before Boss?"

"That's for later! Don't worry about it for now, The Tribunal will be the one that dispenses the tasks on my behalf and Death will help you with your training so that you don't kill the mortals or gods with your presence. You can ask Death for a mirror, she is waiting for you! I just brought you here so that you can feel the presence of time and space again and get yourself used to it. Let's go, I'll send you to her!"

'...The Boss knew that I missed time and space?... Is this what falling in love feels like?... Is the Bos- No! Aniki!, Is Aniki my One?'- These were my thoughts as I looked at Aniki one last time for a long period of time before I was sent through space to Death's domain.

OAA (POV)

Imagine my surprise when I was about to reset a creature of the void when it started crafting a necktie! A necktie! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

That was the first time in my long, long existence that I've seen that.

I had to take a closer look! And it turns out that it had a soul! Normally beings on my level can exist in The Void long enough to fight the creatures but, under normal circumstances and without extenuating sacrifices, not enough to travel from one verse to another.

Because as soon as your soul touches The Void you start losing yourself until you are one with The Void; and here we have a creature that not only stopped in front of my verse but also took the time to create a necktie to apparently look more presentable, all this without any discomfort from the exposure to The Void. HAHAHAHAHA! What a mess of a guy! 

He couldn't even control his presence, no wonder the guy had to create that weird mist of his, he was broadcasting his presence to all the creatures of the void.

And to absorb a sample of the void and transform a universe's worth of energy to your own personal void energy while unconscious, really, I don't know if instead of upgrading his mind his soul became the smart one while his conscience remained blissfully ignorant; to be able to pull that off while unconscious is nothing short of a miracle, a singularity since apparently on that verse there were no gods.

After all, no god would allow someone with such a dangerous ability in such a low-level verse, that's just asking for competition. 

When I brought him inside I had to bring him to a space-timeable location just to confirm that his presence alone wouldn't destroy my creation, that was a smart decision on my end, the last thing I want is a moving reality-wiping disaster on my creation.

Well, one thing is sure, that will be the shiniest dragon in my creation, the only one comparable to him is Phoenix, but Phoenix is a being of fire, and as such there shouldn't be at the moment anything shinier than her. Death should be an appropriate teacher for his presence control. 

__________

MC (POV)

I haven't been able to look at my hands because of the dread! I still want to believe that I'm a dragon and not a scaled eldritch-shaped being.

As soon as I came out of my reverie I found myself in the presence of this sexy bod skeleton head fear-inducing goddess, that somehow was looking at me as I looked at the shiny multiverses, I wondered why. But it's time to make a good impression!

"Hello, trainer Death! My name is Aragorn a dragon... I think?"

"You think?"

"I haven't checked myself out in a mirror yet" 

"Ugh you should be able to see you're self with those eyes, I'm starting to see what level of training you will require"

My eyes? Mmmmm Do I have something like a Byakugan that lets me see myself? like clairvoyance? or is extrasensory perception the appropriate term? let me try... Oh wow...

"I'm shiny... Wow"

_________

Death (POV)

Who is this idiot? And what the fuck is going on with those eyes?... did he... did he mesmerize himself with his new body? Why? How can a pupil widen to the size of the eye itself? Ugh! Is this idiot partially shapeshifting his eyes without knowing?

__________

Aragorn (POV)

I'm shiny! The shiniest dragon! I'm not multiverse-level shiny, multiverses are probably the shiniest things in existence, but my scales and body, in general, appear to be made of perfectly clear crystals, through which you can see a white warm light in the shape of my heart and vascular system.

My dorsal blades are swordlike but broader, shinning cold white growing bluer from my head to my tail with a low flicker following the thrumming consistent with my heartbeat, my tail ends in the sharpest crystal-like sword I've ever seen, shinning in blue light.

My two sets of horns shine in a cold white light, one set pointing forward like bull horns and the other set pointing backward crowning my head. My claws and teeth and the other side of the spectrum look like obsidian crystal, a finely polished one.

My eyes look like windows to the universe, sometimes you see a sea of stars, others some nebulae or galaxies, with a white slitted pupil resembling the shape of Smaug's pupils.

{A/N: Smaug from The Hobbit, but white instead of black, with a space background that changes along with his mood, red angry, pink lust/love, sad/pain blue, green greedy/anxious, gold happy/proud, purple uncomfortable, black afraid and white mesmerized, probably with something shiny most of the times; when the mood is neutral there's no set color, just changing, obviously he checked his eyes before mesmerizing himself with this body}

My wings are crystalline and about 2.5 times larger than my total length. 

While I was appreciating and worshipping the shine, I felt a severe level of concussion and my brain shaking in my shiny skull- Ughh! maybe not the best time for the shine- Who's attacking me? Oh, my OJT trainer, shit what happened?

"Idiot! Are you done? You have been there looking like a cat roofied with catnip for three days! I'm busy! Everything is dying all the time and I need to make reports! So, unless you plan to be there like an idiot until the next iteration of the universe you better start with your training now!"

As tentative as the Shiny is, I want to start with my responsibilities soon, I can't believe I'm saying this but I can do the Shine later!

"No, Trainer Death! Please instruct me! I want to start working soon!" 

"*Sighhh*...You are going to stand in front of that dull black crystal on your left! When the crystal turns fully crimson red it means that you can stand in front of a baby without harming it, small animals will still recognize you as a threat and basically anyone who is in sync with their instincts; once you are done with that I'll show you how to shapeshift into a humanoid because, aside from Phoenix, you'll be the one to interact with the mortals more personally, and since you have no avatars you need to learn how to emulate their shape! According to what I've been informed you'll work as a scalpel where you will need for finesse, more than what we, cosmic entities, can offer!"

"I can get my human shape?! And what type of job will I have?"

"Humanoid! You'll always retain some of your inhuman traits. Your first job is just some universal demolition on a lost reality that we can't reset because of some annoying viral energy, but according to his calculations your breath should fix it so there's not much finesse needed there, but afterward you'll basically work fixing or eliminating people or factors that have a higher than usual chance of directing a universe to an unwanted future" 

"Unwanted future? What about free will?" 

"Well it's more about unwanted in our scale of unwanted, not the mortal scale, for example, if in a certain universe, an annoying plague that keeps pestering me by the name of Thanos snaps half the universal population we will not care, but if in another universe this Thanos starts to get power anywhere near your level of power then we will send you to hinder his path just enough so that he can't get near your level of power."

"You're a little above what we consider an acceptable level for anything not 'abstract', any more than that and you'd level up to the power of an aspect of existence like death, the problem is that most of the time these plagues do not have the right mindset, most of the times they are power hungry pests... I think that's why he's ok with you!"

"You have no ambition for power, are strong enough, and in case we need to power someone up to our level you'll always be there, easy enough and around, since you are not bound by time, life or death, yet at the same time easily killable, and slippery."- Yeah, I just want company and a place to call home, for the moment.

"Umm that's a lot but that's ok. Did you say I need to destroy a universe before?"

"Yes! Is a dead-end reality with no more progress or regression possible, basically, anything sentient has been turned into a magical zombie, at this moment everyone is not moving in stasis waiting for the intelligent zombies to find a way to break the dimensional wall and invade another universe."

"We have them contained but we can't reset that reality because the viral energy is persistent, and it would require 10 times more energy than normal to reset, which is not acceptable since with your help it would only need about half the energy normally needed."

"Given your abnormal soul, you'll be immune, and to pretty much anything, so you're the perfect dragon for the job. Most likely about 45% of your job will be about erasing realities with your breath from the inside before we reset them from the outside on our end. You'll make Phoenix's job easier while she focuses on fixing the M'kraan Crystal"

"So, Zombie Earth. OK, it shouldn't take that long, maybe a year or two to be sure, Trainer Death, Do you know which dimension or realm I'll inhabit?"

"...Yes, well no, no dimension or realm for you because if we make you a Dimension Lord or a Realm Lord first is that your body/soul will just nullify the energy of that dimension when you channel it through your soul, and second is that you'll jump up in status, which we don't need at the moment. So, you'll have a universe where you'll reside between tasks.

"It's a fated-for-doom universe where most of the things that are not supposed to happen all together are very likely to happen in the future. You know the usual, Scarlett Witch going crazy, Jean Grey going dark phoenix, Skrulls succeeding in invading Earth, Kree invading Earth, Dormammu invading, Mephisto invading, Mutants vs Humans, Thanos going Thanos, Doom going Doom, Reed Richards going Reed Richards, Kang Invading, just to name a few..."

"Some things will fix themselves just with your presence others you'll need to intervene but you should be able to amend that reality on your own, think of it as a sort of test. Once you're done fixing that place you will start receiving our quests, however, the universal demolition will come before you move in. That's urgent."

"...Sure no problem, I'll start training now Trainer Death"- Fuck no problem! While I know that power level-wise I'm fine, How long am I supposed to take to fix my new home?

What about making a family? Hatching some eggs? The harem that I was promised by Aniki (Never happened)? When will I have time for my dragonesses (Most likely extinct)? And the Shine? When will I be able to gather some Shine and shine with the Shine?

"Right, go ahead! Let me know when you're ready for the shape-shifting lessons."

Death (POV)

-It's official! He's an Idiot! Pff HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm glad that I'm an aspect given form otherwise I would be laughing my ass on the floor due to emotional overload!

One or two years to purge that reality?! Pfff HAHAHAHA! That's only if he were to have one-on-one matches against the powerful one percent of that universe and then raze to the ground the remaining mob.

HAHAHAHA! But these pests are all connected and will coordinate to test his limits and find where it hurts to learn how to hunt him down.

I'm going to have so much fun watching him struggle.

Hahhh! I guess that this is his first mission in order to teach him about the importance of not letting your enemies gather and plot against you, otherwise, if he allows that to happen in his new home reality he will most likely end up having to kill everything once every enemy gathers against him.

I guess he wants him to succeed. At least he is my perfect type of Dragon, I should be able to fulfill my dragon-riding dream.

MC (POV)

Diary of The Immortal Shine Dragon, The Harem Emperor (Hopefully), Highest Apostle of the Shine, The most Loyal subordinate of The Aniki, Aragorn. (All self-appointed Titles)

Day one-Suppressing my aura is more complicated than I remember, or maybe because gauging time in a place where there's no time is complicated and maybe I spent more than I remember fixing my presence problem before. Ugh! I want to go Doomslaying some zombies soon.

Day 15- Anego finally decided to give me some tips in return for me acting as her seat for 3 hours a day for the next 30 days. She said that there's never been a realistic opportunity for dragon riding before, either the dragon was too weak or not available for any given reason. So now I serve as her seat 3 hours a day for 30 days. I asked her if this was some sort of S&M play because she seemed awfully excited, but she deviated from the question by asking me if I thought that she was lacking suitors. Given that there was no correct answer I deviated from her attack/question by asking her about the weather. A Masterful play if I say so myself.

Day 20- Aneg- *cough* Noona has ordered me to refer to her as such from now on in private, and whenever I address her in public, as Noona Death... I don't know why such a distinction is needed but if I didn't agree I wouldn't be able to start my shape-shifting training and I can't have that, also I've noticed that, lately, Noona has been setting up some awfully realistic sculptures of nude, muscular but lean well-endowed men, long-haired and in different poses. I think all sculptures are about the same guy or type of body, maybe an old fling or something but I'm not sure because she said that she was single and has been since before time, she made sure to repeat that a few times. 

Day 30- I officially have 2 shapes. Full Immortal Shine Dragon, which is my starting form, I can grow to the size of a small Universe at most but will normally keep a legendary King Ghidorah size, being too big can be counterproductive. This is with no modifications to my shape. Then what I call my Honey Badger size, no wings no sharp ends. Noona said that it's for infiltrations so she ordered me to develop this shape, but for some reason, her eyes were shining with stars like mine usually do. She also told me that she would show me her Humanoid form if I succeeded with my own. For some reason, she asked me to practice my shapeshifting in the sculptures' room. 

Day 45- I did it! I officially have my humanoid form. My hair, my horns, my eyes, and my nails are my most striking draconic traits, my teeth the least noticeable. My hair is middle back long, straight, and looks like a shiny platinum white, but each hair it's fundamentally fiber optics, each heir is translucent, so it depends on the environmental lighting.

My eyes are exactly the same as in my Full Immortal Shine Dragon form, and I discovered that they changed depending on my mood or feelings, it's not an exact guide but Noona can easily tell my emotions based on the color so maybe it's more accurate than I thought.

My nails are like a titanium rainbow quartz, perfectly polished and slightly claw-shaped, the good thing is that I can extend them in case of CQC but I doubt I'll need to do that unless I'm downplaying my powers or something.

I lost one set of horns on this form, or more like the 2 sets combined, so instead of a set facing forward and another crowning backward, I've got one set facing forward crowning backward, like Hellboy; which works for me so when I have to cuddle in the future I wont risk stabbing someone on the head.

My ears are a little longer than human ears but are more elf-shaped. Lastly, my teeth are marble with pronounced lower and upper fangs, just enough to see that it's unnatural but not enough for the fangs to pop out of my mouth.

My skin is marble white and strangely enough my body shape and size are down to the tee... like the sculptures... I'm seeing a pattern here maybe I influenced myself with those sculptures, I've got no one to blame but me, at least I'm okay with this body, it is perfectly fine... Noona requested some final adjustments, like a 15cm (6inch) retractable forked tongue and she taught me how to grow and retract tentacles from anywhere in my body, she said that she has read about the usefulness of those, and I have to agree! If during combat you're busy with your hands you can always use an extra limb or two. 

{A/N:

Hello Friends! The next chapter will start from Death's POV, in a similar format to this diary. This chapter was about 60% comedy and 40% establishing living conditions and describing the MC, you'll find out in the future why the MC chose that name.

In regards to Harem or not it will only be Death, but if a harem is chosen, a poll was taken that is the answer that was reached.

Chapt 3 will be Death's POV as mentioned before and Zombies Part 1 ending on Part 2 in chapt 4.

Chapter rewritten on 12/9/2023}
