Marvel Cinematic Universe, Non-Sacred Timeline-
Continental Hotel, Penthouse-
"Boss, there's a new assassination mission, two million dollars. Are you considering it?" A stunning blonde woman in a professional dress, resembling a secretary, stood in front of Charles Doyle. Her tone was calm as she spoke.
"Oh, two million dollars. That's not a small price."
"Tell me the specifics of the mission first, and then I'll consider taking this two-million-dollar job."
"You know me, I'm quite picky about mission targets."
Sitting by the window, Charles held a square glass with whisky in his hand. He slowly shifted his gaze from the outside view and looked at Ginny, who was speaking.
[T/N: I omitted a few sentences due to offensive content. I will do so in the future chapters as well unless it affects the readability. But if you want to keep the chapters as it is, let me know.]
"This time, the new bounty task is for John Wick. The employer wants him eliminated as soon as possible. The reward is two million dollars. What do you think?"
Hearing the name John Wick, Charles Doyle's thoughts drifted into the distance.
The guy who wiped out an entire gang over a dog.
Is his storyline about to begin?
Then he glanced at the photo of the target in Ginny's hand, confirming that it was this guy and not someone with the same name.
Charles spun the square glass in his hand, looked at the amber liquid inside, took a sip, and calmly said, "The price is too low, I won't take it."
"Why?"
Ginny was curious.
"You entered the business relatively late, so you might not have a complete understanding of many things."
"John Wick used to be the number one assassin in the assassin world, and he's a bit of a legend in the underworld."
As Charles narrated, Ginny gained a direct understanding of the guy newly listed on the mission board. Then she nodded and said, "Indeed, the price is too low."
Then her gaze turned to Charles, then curiously asked, "Master Ninja, compared to you?"
Charles, however, smiled and said, "I and he aren't assassins from the same world!"
Although Charles didn't say it directly, his confident tone and carefree attitude clearly showed that he didn't regard John Wick's abilities highly.
Ginny's eyes shimmered as she decided not to dwell on this task. Then she spoke, "I'll go see if there are any other tasks suitable for you."
"Go ahead!"
Getting Charles's agreement, she turned and left the room, heading towards the direction of the hotel's task hall.
Watching Ginny leave, Charles's gaze once again turned to the world outside the window.

My name is Feng Yi, and I come from the Blue Star.
While playing the Naruto mobile game, when I was trying to pull the new character card "Hero of the Will of Fire," Jiraiya, I got so frustrated by the game's tactics that I died of anger on the spot after realizing I had spent 3,000 bucks without even gathering enough character fragments.
As a result, I found myself somehow reborn in this world.
Although the planet beneath his feet is still called Earth, it's not the same Earth where Charles used to reside.
After all, in Times Square, those massive advertisements for Stark Industries stand out prominently, and on entertainment magazines, the latest Playboy cover girl is once again in the embrace of Tony Stark.
This is the Marvel Universe, or in Charles's eyes, more like a multiverse dressed in the skin of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Upon awakening to my past life's memories, I discovered myself, dressed in rags, appearing in a dilapidated alley in New York.
I speculated that I might be an orphan or a runaway troublemaker.
As for the infuriating Naruto mobile game that had driven me to my demise, it had transformed into a cheat, appearing in my consciousness.
However, this accursed cheat, just like before, was maddening, continuously loading.
Charles Doyle was adopted by a killer couple from the Continental Hotel, who then trained young six-year-old Charles as an assassin.
The training from the killer couple was already twisted, especially for an adopted child like me; it was even more vicious.
If it wasn't for that endlessly loading cheat in my mind, serving as my motivation to persist, I might have died during the training long ago.
During this time, as a young child, my hands were stained with blood early on.
If I were a child who knew nothing, maybe during the training, I wouldn't have felt uncomfortable in my heart. I would have become a genuine killer.
But coming from a place full of kindness, from the former land of China, this kind of life destroyed my values and reshaped my life.
Back then, I had tried to escape, but unfortunately, my young body and the as-yet-awakened cheat led my only attempt to end in failure and severe punishment.
Since then, I hadn't attempted to escape again. Life was like getting raped; if I couldn't change it, I'd choose to enjoy it.
In this period, under the training of the killer couple, I quickly grew, mastering various killing skills, disguise, combat, tracking and counter-tracking, marksmanship, and even the physical chemistry related to assassination, without missing any aspect.
As for the so-called mandatory education, from middle school to high school and university, they were completely out of my reach. After all, I wasn't that guy who loved drinking Pocky, and I didn't run into a bigshot from the military coming to adopt me.
Of course, the necessary basic education wasn't lacking.
After all, as a professional assassin, I knew more knowledge than a student preparing for the college entrance examination, just different kinds of knowledge.
Under the training of the killer couple, on my 18th birthday, I awakened my own cheat, the damned Naruto mobile game finally finished loading.
In the same year, I completed my training as an assassin, and my name, Charles Doyle, came from the last name of my adoptive parents.
Although I had sacrificed them, I still inherited their surname, and even became what they had hoped forโan assassin of the Continental Hotel, a relatively famous one.
After all, even before awakening the cheat, I had already become a registered professional assassin in high demand.
Coupled with this cheat...
After more than a decade of learning, Charles had no intention of changing careers.
