"Excuse me, are you hiring here?"
A graceful and intelligent-looking middle-aged woman stood at the door, holding a flyer, and asked with a smile. Jonny Blaze, who had just come down the stairs, looked at her.
Jessica Jones and Devil's Claw Girl had just gone out to post the freshly printed job flyers, but the first applicant had arrived before they even returned. This unexpected turn of events put Jonny in a good mood, especially after his unsuccessful attempt to communicate with Himiko earlier.
"Are you applying for the clerk position?" Jonny walked over and studied her carefully, only to be taken aback by her appearance.
Aunt May?
With her elegant looks and dignified demeanor, wasn't this Aunt May, the future guardian of Spider-Man, Peter Parker? But didn't she live in Queens? What was she doing in Manhattan looking for a job?
"My name is May Parker, and I'd like to apply for the clerk position," Aunt May introduced herself confidently and calmly, explaining her qualifications for the job.
"Great, you're hired."
"What?"
"The work hours are 8 AM to 5 PM, with one day off per week. Does that work for you?"
"Yes!"
"When can you start?"
"I can start right now!"
"Perfect, you're hired starting today."
Jonny nodded, satisfied, and gestured toward the empty hall next to him. "This will be your office space. As you can see, the company is just starting out, so there's a lot to set up. Your first task is to buy desks, chairs, and other office supplies."
He handed her $50,000 in cash. "Use this to buy whatever the office needs. Get the best quality. If there's any leftover, return the difference. Can you get it all done by the end of the day?"
"Yes, no problem."
"Then go ahead."
...
Aunt May left the company in a bit of a daze. Did I really just get the job? Is it really this easy?
She couldn't believe Jonny hired her without checking her skills or credentials. Wasn't he worried about being scammed? And now he had entrusted her, a brand-new employee, with such a large sum of money. Was he not afraid she'd run off with it or inflate the prices?
This was the first time Aunt May had met such a decisive boss. To be honest, she couldn't help but feel concerned about the company's future. Would it survive with this kind of approach? Or would her new employer lose all his money?
Even though she had just joined, and she didn't even know her new boss's name, Aunt May was already worried about the company's prospects.
When Jessica Jones and Devil's Claw Girl returned, Jonny informed them about Aunt May's hiring and the task of purchasing office supplies. He also told them that if anyone else came to apply, they would handle the interviews.
"You're leaving this all to us? What about you? Are you leaving again? You just got back last night!" Jessica asked, grabbing Jonny by the arm.
Jonny chuckled at her quick response. "Relax. I'm just going to get the funding to keep the company running. I'll be back in two or three hours."
"Promise?"
"Promise!"
With that reassurance, Jessica let go of his arm.
Jonny went upstairs, grabbed a backpack specifically designed for scavenging, and teleported to the Void, eager for another adventure after many days away.

**The Void:**
The sky was dark, with heavy clouds looming overhead as if they were about to crash down. Thunder roared in the distance, and occasional flashes of lightning lit up the ominous scene, filling the air with dread.
Ruins stretched as far as the eye could see—collapsed buildings and crumbling structures that looked like remnants of a post-apocalyptic world.
This was the Void, the end of the timeline, the 'dumping ground' of the multiverse. But for Jonny Blaze, it was a treasure trove, full of endless possibilities and surprises.
Every time he came here, he left with valuable finds.
Among the ruins were places that had once been iconic, like the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York, which had been guarded by the Sorcerer Supreme or Doctor Strange. The shattered remains of Stark Tower, on the verge of collapsing, were also here, alongside ancient landmarks like Egyptian sphinxes and Greek temples.
Yet, these buildings were nothing compared to the truly unique items Jonny had discovered.
He had found everything from the skeleton or head of the Living Tribunal to the wreckage of a helicopter with "Thanos" scrawled across it. There was also Thanos' temple-like spaceship, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarrier, Ronan the Accuser's ship, and even a Hydra-labeled Insight aerospace carrier.
He had once come across an enlarged Yellowjacket helmet too.
So many valuable relics from different timelines and universes, but unfortunately, most of them had been destroyed by Alioth, the guardian of the Void.
As Jonny stood there, pondering his next move, a terrifying roar echoed from the distance.
A dark cloud, flickering with faint purple light, surged forward like a tidal wave. It was Alioth, the unstoppable force that destroyed anything left behind at the end of time.
Running ahead of it was an old man in a pointed helmet, wearing a golden cloak and a green-and-gold bodysuit. He conjured a green flash of magic, creating an exact duplicate of himself, which rushed toward Alioth while the real one opened a green, cloud-like portal.
He jumped through the portal just as his duplicate was devoured by Alioth, who roared in frustration, unable to catch its prey. It thundered angrily before drifting off to seek its next target.
Meanwhile, the old man tumbled out of the portal and groaned in pain, struggling to get back on his feet. As he rose, he suddenly noticed a pair of feet standing before him.
Looking up, he saw Jonny Blaze grinning down at him.
"Hello, Loki!" Jonny said with a smile.
