The Marvel Prophet: I Publish Marvel Comics

Although I didn't fully agree with John's initial skepticism about my idea, he still pushed forward with his task and quickly completed the renaming of our publishing house. The name "Marvel" was quickly emblazoned on our publications. The latest scent of paper in the Captain America of the United States was also seen in various bookstores.

Anticipating comic book profits, my time at the publishing house began to grow. Now, all the work was focused on Captain America, and the workers only needed to supervise the printing. As the boss, I was, of course, more leisurely.

Boredom hit me, so I took out some drawing paper and started sketching the second volume of Captain America with the help of the system. It was the second day after the comics were printed and about to be put on the shelves. The scorching sun shone on my back through the window, and I glanced at my watch; it was already noon.

"No wonder I'm hungry; I've been drawing for so long."

I picked up the phone and was about to order some takeout when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Robert walked in, holding two insulated lunch boxes.

"Haven't eaten yet?"

I hurriedly stood up and grabbed one of the lunch boxes.

"No, Uncle Robert, you still care about me; this meal is right on time!"

Robert sat on the sofa, opened the thermos box, and shook his head.

"I'm very busy. It's my precious daughter's birthday today. I heard you were back, so I brought your share of what I made."

I nodded, pretending to agree with Robert's slightly jealous tone.

Smelling the aroma emanating from the lunch box, I couldn't resist.

"If Jane's cooking is anything to go by, it's authentic!"

Robert smiled, pleased with my compliment about his daughter.

"Don't underestimate her! By the way, you seem in a good mood. What's behind your confidence?"

As we ate, Robert almost hummed a tune, seeing my cheerful expression.

"I'm confident sales will be good; you'll see!"

...

Despite the physical book industry's challenges, Captain America's popularity helped our comic stand out in bookstores. As school ended, students—our primary audience for comics—flocked to bookstores.

"Hey, Mark, any new comics?"

Mark handed the comic to a regular customer.

"This is it."

The cover featured a muscular man holding a shield, which initially seemed uninspiring to the student.

"The cover's nice, but Captain America again? I'm sick of seeing him in textbooks every day!"

Mark shrugged, empathizing with the sentiment.

"Everyone draws him, but maybe this one's different."

The student flipped through the pages, muttering to himself.

"Let's hope so."

"Huh?"

The student sighed softly as he saw the first page. Who was this? Captain America? His name was Steve, but this image didn't match expectations.

Watching Steve face rejection and setbacks, the student empathized.

"I thought Steve was flawless, but even he has his struggles!"

Steve's vulnerability resonated with students familiar with academic pressures. Previously, Steve seemed flawless—almost divine—disconnected from reality. Now, his challenges made him relatable.

As the student followed Steve's journey, valued by scientists and injected with serum...

"Wow..."

The student marveled at the transformation.

"If only it were that easy."

The comic left the student longing, closing it with a hint of disappointment.

Turning to Mark, he asked, "What do you think?"

Mark chuckled, thrown off guard by the question.

"It's good... Haha!"

Embarrassed, the student paid and left, prompting Mark to mutter, "Take care!"

Meanwhile, the boss picked up a copy of Captain America.

Having seen many traditional hero stories, he wasn't initially interested.

"I wonder what makes this one so captivating."

As he read, his intrigue grew. This wasn't the typical Captain America; this was something more—perhaps a super Captain or a genetically enhanced individual.

Reflecting on the comic's impact, the boss shook his head.

"Is this comic making me nostalgic? Why am I suddenly considering an injection?"

He pulled out his laptop to research the Marvel version of Captain America, surprised to find online discussions already buzzing.
