Rox stood at the ancient stone gates, flanked by two monks who definitely weren't just monks.
Behind the gates? The man who saw the future.
Doctor Stephen Strange, still a neurosurgeon-turned-reluctant mystic, wasn't yet Sorcerer Supreme—but he was close. And more importantly—he'd seen Rox in a vision.

Inside the Sanctum
"You're not part of this timeline," Strange said, not even looking up as Rox entered. "You fracture every path I see."
Rox stepped forward, calm.
"I'm not the fracture," he said. "I'm the fix."
Strange raised an eyebrow. "You think luck makes you untouchable? Fate isn't dice, Rox."

Rox smiled. "Even your visions can't lock me down. That bothers you, doesn't it?"
Strange stood slowly, swirling magical circles forming around his hands.
> "I've looked through 14,000 timelines. In only one… do you survive without destroying everything."
Rox's system flared.

A portal formed behind Strange—unintended, unstable. Chaos magic bled through it.
> "What the hell?" Strange stepped back.
Rox's luck had backfired… into something older.
And through the rift, a voice whispered:
> "So… you're the one breaking the dice…"
A hand reached out, covered in ancient armor. Golden rings glowed like fire.
> Kang the Conqueror.
The portal snapped shut—but not before Rox saw the truth:
> In many timelines… he and Kang were enemies.
But in one… they were allies.

Strange looked shaken.
"You're a variable the multiverse didn't ask for. But now… it revolves around you."
Rox replied calmly, "Then help me shape it."
