....

A young man at the age of eighteen years old, looked in front of him with a great amount of uncertainty.

Something had gone very wrong. He had never anticipated that something like this would happen to him.

How could something like this happen in his already shitty life?

He wondered if he was dreaming right now or if he had taken the wrong medication this morning.

"I am sure that I have taken the right medicine, A little cold shouldn't give me such hallucinations, This could only happen in fiction." said the young man with a wary tone.

The young man, his name was Arthur Leywin. He had brown hair in a pigtail style.

He was a newly graduated high school student who came to New York to find a job.

He hoped that by coming to the capital city. He could find the meaning of his life.

His life was full of unfortunate events that led him to this point. He was broke and unwanted. 

He didn't even have a family of his own because they had already abandoned him when he was just a newly born baby.

He hoped that by coming to this big city full of opportunities could give him a chance to be better in life.

But that dream had gone away and instead the terror took place.

Who would have thought that the first thing he saw when he arrived first was something that should not exist in real life.

It was a tall building, a very tall building that had a certain famous name on it at the topmost.

It was Stark Tower—the tower that could only appear in comics and movies.

And when he saw that, he knew right away that his life was completely fucked up.

"If all of this is real, I think I have to be prepared before shit hits the fan. But before that let's confirm something first." said while pulling out his outdated phone.

He wanted to confirm something before deciding what to do next.

He started searching on the internet about the tower. He hoped it was just a commercial building for the movie but what he found was the most heartbreaking thing for someone who yearned for a new normal life.

It was all real. He didn't want to sound pathetic but he was sure that his life was in danger.

He wasn't like those positive thinkers who thought they could do anything just because they were isekai. 

Who could tell if he would die in the next second or not.

"This is a really shitty situation to be in. I could be dead anytime." said with gloominess, Arthur kept his phone back to his pocket.

He thought about what he should do to stay alive and be safe and he believed that the most reasonable action he should take was to leave New York as it was a center of many dangerous situations.

But even though he knew he should get out of this city as soon as possible, he was broke.

He didn't have much money on himself so leaving was not an option.

He used almost all of his money to rent a tiny room in this big city. 

He could not afford to leave before he could get his hand on a certain amount of money. 

"I need to find work and get some money before I could leave this place." said Arthur with a heavy heart went toward the place he had rented.

It was a small room inside an old apartment. He felt like he had seen this old apartment before.

He shook his head. He needed to stay positive for now otherwise it would be hard for him to continue to live here.

"Even the apartment has changed from what I remembered. And I feel like I have seen this old apartment somewhere before. Hopefully, it wasn't in any kind of place in the comic or the movie." said Arthur as he went inside and spoke with the apartment owner.

He got the key to his room and then went to his room right away.

His room was small but it had everything he needed.

First thing first he put everything he brought with him on the old and rusty table.

He didn't have much so it wasn't hard to sort all of his belongings.

"Now I should go out and find a new job. Any job will do." said with a huge sigh, Arthur walked toward the door ready to leave the room.

He didn't plan to live here for long. Just a month or two should be enough for him to gather enough money to move out.

"I hope something bad won't happen to me first before I can hold myself together." said Arthur hopefully.

And when he was about to leave his room.  Something unexpected happened to him.

Suddenly a deep purple and bloody crimson light flashed before his eyes. 

Arthur thought that he was attacked so he threw hands instinctively. If he was going to go down. He would bring along someone or something with him. 

"Die you bastard!" punching air hard and unskilled, Arthur was ready to go down with dignity.

But it didn't hit anything but air, fortunately there was nothing like an alien attack or something.

He slowly calmed down and he found that there was a short sword in his hand and a big ass claymore hanging on his back.

The short sword wasn't heavy and fit just right in his hand. He felt a little heavy on the back because the big claymore was sticking there like it was glued.

The short sword had the sharp blade in a deep and ominus purple color while the handle was darker than black. It was like the color of the black hole.

As for claymore it had the sharp blade in a royal emerald color exude with power while the handle was in bloody crimson yelling for destruction.

He could feel that he was connected to these two powerful weapons.

"What is this feeling…" said in wonder, he had never felt like this before.

He tried to check the two swords and suddenly something appeared before his eyes.

It was a status window.

[Sword of the Infinity and Chaos]

「Rank EX」

「A sacred gear that contained the soul of the Infinity and Chaos dragon, Ophis Ouroboros.」

[Sword of the Dreams and Apocalypse]

「Rank EX」

「A sacred gear that contained the soul of the Dreams and Apocalypse dragon, Great Red.」

"Ophis and Great Red, How in the fucking world they are here…" said in surprise Arthur gulped unconsciously. 

He knew who these Ophis Ouroboros and Great Red were, Ophis was the dragon god of infinity and chaos, Great Red was the dragon god of dreams and apocalypse in the world of high school DxD.

They both was fucking op even in the marvel universe standard.

He read the explanation and found that the short sword and the claymore contained their souls but they seemed to be in a sealed state.

He could not speak with them just yet.

Arthur finished checking them and he found that his body became a lot stronger than before. 

It must be because of them.

"Now, I can protect myself better because I have a stronger body by just having them. But I still need to stay out of trouble. I don't even know how to use them properly." shaking his head, Arthur looked at them.

He still needed to go out and find a job.

He couldn't bring them outside with him so he tried to put them on the table. However, before he could put them on the rusty table.

They were gone.

"What…" panicking Arthur tried to find them but suddenly they appeared again.

"So I can just activate and deactivate them by thinking…" said Arthur, testing them again and again until he was sure that it wouldn't come out unintentionally.

"Well, that's convenient." said with a huge smile, Arthur looked at the door.

He still needed to find work in order to live.

They might make him stronger but not richer. He still needed food in order to survive. 

Or even more food to sustain his life when his body became a lot stronger like this.

And as he was about to leave the room to find a job again.

Something happened.

[Tower Dungeon System]

「Welcome to the Tower Dungeon System.You are the first one to have the system awaken」

「In one month Stark Tower will become a tower dungeon, Please become the first person who stepped inside the dungeon and challenged it.」

[Reward]

「Ophis Ouroboros and Great Red awakening.」

[Parameter]

「Name: Arthur Leywin

「Alias: None

「Level: 1」

「Pow E-450」

「End E-490」

「Dex G-290」

「AGI F-370」

「MAG I-0」

[Inventory]

「None」

"Shit…"

Arthur cursed internally. He knew about the parameter. It was a system from the Danmachi anime. 

With these kinds of parameters he was a lot stronger than a normal human but it was far from enough.

Not only was he forcefully transported into the Marvel Universe. There was a Tower Dungeon in this world as well.

He didn't know anything about Tower Dungeon but he could tell that it must be something very dangerous.

He had read all kinds of manga, manhua, and manhwa to entertain himself from depression. He knew where this was going.

And he didn't like it at all.

It was fun and game when he read it on his phone but in real life. Nah, he didn't want anything to do with it.

"What kind of Marvel Universe am I in? Was it comic, cinematic, or something else entirely?" said while thinking about the dark time he was going to face.

Arthur rubbed his forehead out of habit. Marvel is still Marvel. 

Whichever version it was, it was still dangerous for him. And there this Tower Dungeon added to the mix.

He could tell it would be much more dangerous than it should be.

"I have one month to decide if I should go to Stark Tower or not. But I don't know if I did not, Would I still be able to wake up Ophis and Great Red." asked Arthur to no one but he got answers.

「Question: Would the player(Arthur Leywin) be able to awaken Ophis and Great Red without going to the Tower Dungeon?」

「Answer: It is not possible to awaken the two dragon gods as they are not in the player(Arthur Leywin)'s world.」

"What do you mean that they are not in this world?"

「Player(Arthur Leywin) has used up this month q&a chance, please ask again next month.」

"....." speechless Arthur felt like throwing hands again but there was nothing he could do.

"First thing first. I will go out and find a job" 

He gave up on the system and went outside of the apartment to find a job.

He needed to start making money for his living expenses.

He would not leave New York for now as he decided to go to Stark Tower.

Without Ophis and Great Red awaken. He felt that he wouldn't be strong enough to survive in this world.

He went toward the place where there were a lot of businesses and asked around for a job. 

He got a job in a good restaurant where he could earn enough money to live in a big city like this.

The owner of the restaurant seemed to be a good person. 

He gave him a reasonable wage, unlike the other place, which only paid him the minimum wage, which he thought wasn't enough to support himself in the city.

"I will start working tomorrow. Please, dear Lord, the One Above All, don't let anything happen before I go into the dungeon next month." prayed Arthur.

He pleaded with the one true god to keep him safe and guide him on his journey.

He went back to the apartment after getting the job.

While he walked toward the apartment. 

He saw many familiar faces. 

They were high school students who happened to be characters in the comic.

He didn't think he would meet them this soon.

'Isn't that Emma Frost and Scott Summer? There's Anna Maria, Jean Grey, and—wait a minute, Peter Parker, Mary Jane, and Gwen Stacy are there too!' thought Arthur.

This was absolutely crazy. 

They were attending the same high school. How?

Weren't mutants supposed to be hidden from the public eye? 

They should be attending Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, not a normal high school like this.

However, he decided not to think about it too much, as it wasn't his business, and he focused on his own life instead.

'I should not be involved with them. They are a bunch of trouble magnets. Staying as far away as possible from them is a good idea.' thought logically Arthur.

Arthur didn't want to involve himself with them, so he decided to keep his distance and just observe from afar. 

He needed to keep one eye open for any potential dangerous situations that might arise.

Anything could kill him in the Marvel Universe.

He reached his room and then lay down on the bed while thinking of what he should do to prevent himself from getting caught up in the turmoil of any situation.

"If I can't prevent it, I'll at least be prepared for it." thought Arthur while planning things.

Arthur activated both swords. He would try to use the short sword first to see what it could do.

He could not use Claymore in a tiny room.

He gripped the short sword tightly and then swung it a little bit. 

Shwing! His room then shook violently.

Dark purple glowing slashes appeared around him! Cutting everything in the room.

He then felt weak after just lightly swung it. It drained almost all of his power! However, the power of the lightly swung was just too much!

He found that the old bed and the rusty table were sliced into pieces! Fortunately the wall, the ceiling and the floor were completely fine.

Otherwise, it could become a big problem.

'Damn it, forget about the deposit money, Maybe I'll have to pay the owner even more.' sighed Arthur regretting that he underestimated Ophis too much.

He shouldn't test his power in a small room like this. It was a mistake that he would regret for a long time. 

Money was hard to earn, especially when he lived in New York, where the living expenses were so high.

'I need to find a place where I could train without being observed and without having to care about the damage.' thought Arthur.

All he could think of was a secluded area in the mountains, far away from civilization. 

But it was impossible to find such a place in New York.

'Well, I have to stop training my power for now. This much power should already be enough to protect myself currently. I will train my power after I go inside the dungeon.' thought Arthur then spent time familiarizing himself with the city and its inhabitants, preparing for a way to escape if something went wrong.

The next day, it was time for him to go to work at the restaurant.

He felt confident that he could handle any situation that might pop up.

"Oh, you are here on time, Arthur. Come this way, I will show you how to start the work." said the owner, who accepted him, then showed him how to work around the restaurant. 

His job was to assist in the kitchen with food preparation and dishwashing.

And while he was showing him how to work efficiently, he heard someone walking inside the currently closed restaurant in a hurry. 

He could tell that someone was late for their shift.

"You come late again, as usual, Peter." said the owner looking at the late worker named Peter.

"I am really sorry, Mr.Kenny. I have to prepare for the exam that's happening tomorrow. So I woke up late." apologize to the owner, the late worker.

Kenny sighed and shook his head. 

He knew that Peter was a good kid, and he lived a hard life, so he didn't want to be too hard on him.

Now he had a new employee, so he didn't have to worry about Peter coming late to work anymore.

He introduced Peter to Arthur. They both looked to be close in age. 

So they might become friends.

Arthur couldn't believe it. He tried to avoid any character in Marvel, but to think that he had to work with one of them the next day was overwhelming.

And it was Spiderman, the bringer of bad luck, at that!

Peter was happy that there was someone around the same age as him working at the restaurant. 

So he wouldn't feel like the youngest person there. The old employees always made  him feel out of place.

He walked toward Arthur and tried to speak to him. He didn't have anything to do yet.

"Hello, which school are you from? I am from Midtown High School, by the way." said Peter in a very friendly tone.

"I have graduated from high school. So, I am not attending any school." answered Arthur while doing his job.

He was not a talkative person in the first place, so he just said that, and that was all to it.

Peter felt awkward that Arthur didn't seem interested in talking to him. 

He decided to give it another try, and he asked Arthur about his favorite dish on the menu.

"I can eat anything. The cheaper, the better." said the broken one truthfully.

"Oh, so you are as poor as I am! Haha, good to know, buddy." reponsed the unlucky one.

Peter said it without thinking much. 

If it were someone else, they would think that he was being rude, but Arthur just didn't care and just kept on working. 

He was poor, like he said. He just told the truth. 

There was no point in being angry about it.

Seeing the atmosphere between them became a little awkward. 

Kenny had come to the rescue.

"Peter, go and turn the open sign, we've got customers waiting outside." said Kenny, He finished preparing the kitchen with his chef hat, excited to start cooking for the hungry customers. 

He eagerly grabbed the spatula and began sizzling up some delicious breakfast dishes.

Peter went to turn on the open sign, as he was told. And the customers started to trickle in. 

He would try to speak with Arthur again when they had time.

The customers that came in, started ordering their dishes from the menu. 

Kenny cooked food with precision and care, ensuring each plate was a work of art before serving it to the eager customers.

Arthur couldn't help but admire his cooking skills. 

'Unfortunately, I won't be working here for long.'

Arthur began helping Kenny prepare the ingredients for the food that customers had ordered. 

With his enhanced sense, he could work efficiently.

Kenny took note of how fast he could learn and work. He thought that he was really lucky to have Arthur work under him.

The breakfast rush passed quickly with Arthur's help. 

Peter had observed Arthur since he started to work.

With his sharp sense, he could tell that the way Arthur moved showed that he wasn't just a normal human at all.

'His movement is slackish, but his strength and agility are out of the norm—it was like his power just awakened, and he didn't have much experience using it, but at least he could control it.' assessed Peter accurately. 

And Arthur knew that his power might be exposed because of how sharp Peter's senses were.

'He didn't say anything right now, but he might come and talk to me after this.' felt a little annoyed Arthur. 

He didn't want to be involved with anyone, but it seemed like it was already impossible.

He didn't even last a single day before someone noticed him.

'Living in this world is harder than I thought it would be. So what is going to happen now?' sighed Arthur kept on working. 

He would deal with it when the time had come.

His shift ended in the evening, and Kenny told him that he could go home as the other employees would come to take his shift. 

Before he went home, he even gave him food to take with him.

"Eat a lot more. You are a little too skinny. From now on, take some food before you go home, alright?" said Kenny while fixing some food for Arthur.

Kenny didn't know that underneath his clothes, his body was packed with muscle. 

He was just a little short, compared to the others.

"Thank you, Mr.Kenny." said Arthur felt moved by his kindness. 

And with the food, He could save money.

He went home after saying goodbye to Kenny.

Peter was nowhere to be found, as he just worked here as a part-time waiter. 

He had already gone home three hours before the end of his shift.

While walking home. Arthur felt like someone was watching him from somewhere.

'It should be Peter. He's really going to have a talk with me.'

Arthur didn't want to speak with him, but if he avoided him, it might become a bigger problem. 

So Arthur purposefully walked toward where there were no people so Peter could come out and talk to him.

Arthur reached the alley where no one was around. Peter, in his Spiderman suit, then jumped off of the nearby building. 

His landing was smooth and quiet behind Arthur.

Arthur stopped walking and slowly turned to look over his shoulder, coming face-to-face with Peter.

"Spiderman? What are you doing here?" asked Arthur as if he didn't know who he was.

"I want to have a little bit of conversation with you. Can I have a little bit of your time? I know that you just came back from work, so I don't want to take up too much of your evening."

Peter was really kind, even to his enemy, so it was understandable for him to speak that way to him.

"I have some time. So what do you want to speak to me about?"

"About your power, I know that you want to keep it a secret, but it is better for you to tell me. I have worked with someone, and they will help you when something bad happens. You are not the only one with powers. We can help each other."

Peter went straight to the point. He thought that Arthur would agree  to share about his power with him as he came as Spider-Man, a friendly neighborhood superhero.

However, "I refuse." said Arthur firmly.

Spiderman was shocked. His wasn't what he was expecting to hear from Arthur. 

He thought he was famous enough to make Arthur trust him.
