In Marvel With Artifact System

Clark, a man from our world, awakens in 1992 as a six-year-old in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a mysterious system that detects powerful artifacts hidden throughout reality. Now twenty-two and working as a private investigator in Hell's Kitchen, Clark has spent years preparing for the superhero chaos he knows is coming by collecting magical relics and building his skills. When Stark Industries hires him to find a missing engineer, Clark discovers the job leads straight into the heart of the Ten Rings terrorist organization—and Tony Stark's imminent kidnapping in Afghanistan. Armed with artifacts ranging from lucky pennies to reality-bending cloaks, Clark must navigate a deadly game of corporate espionage, ancient magic, and emerging heroes while hiding his otherworldly knowledge from allies and enemies alike. As Iron Man's origin story unfolds, Clark realizes his greatest challenge isn't just surviving the MCU's escalating threats, but deciding how much of the future he's willing to change to save the people he's grown to care about.
