Today, joy and happiness fill the air as guests, including high-society elites who journeyed from distant places, come together to celebrate the special day of Darius Inferno, the groom and heir to the business empire of Inferno Enterprises.
Inside the stylish hall on the 7th floor of the 'Filthy Paradise,' laughter and the gentle clinking of glasses create a lively atmosphere as guests mingle and revel in the wedding festivities.
However, not everyone is happy...
Ben Parker, dressed in a black suit, couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. "If only I had the courage to propose to her earlier..." he murmured, his shoulders weighed down by the burden of missed opportunity.
Mary Parker, a friendly young woman in a beautiful backless blue gown, immediately interjected, "Come on, Ben! Don't let anyone hear you. Do you want to cause trouble? Remember, Darius is also our friend."
"And most importantly, May also loves him, Ben. It's not like he's forcing her into anything," chimed in Richard Parker, unable to contain his laughter. However, Richard knew he needed to console his friend. After all, both Darius and Ben were his closest companions.
"Richard, one day I'll also dress like that for you," Mary said, leaning her head on Richard's shoulder, her eyes filled with adoration.
"Sure, honey. Next time it will be our turn," Richard replied, his gaze locked on the couple at the center of the hall.
Darius Inferno and May Parker, the handsome groom and enchanting bride, stole everyone's attention with their otherworldly beauty.

"Hey, have you seen Darius and May? They look absolutely stunning together!"
"Oh, definitely! Darius is killing it in that suit, and May looks like a vision in that dress."
"They are the definition of a perfect couple, it's almost sickening."
"I know, right? But, Ugh, it's good for them. I wish my life was even half as glamorous. I mean, who wouldn't want to marry a guy like that blondie over there?"
"Oh, please. Dream on. I doubt he would spare you a second glance. But with your figure, maybe he'd consider you as a side dish, haha!"
"Come on, I was just kidding... But May Parker is one lucky woman to have such a man."
Whispers of envy filled the room as onlookers couldn't help expressing their jealousy.

At this moment, All eyes are now shifts on the priest, holding the holy book, as he addresses Darius.
"Darius, do you take May to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"
Darius responded confidently, his tone filled with love and determination,
"I do."
After Darius confidently declares his commitment, the priest turns towards May with a gentle smile, his voice soft but unwavering.
"May, do you take Darius to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"
May's heart swells with joy as she meets Darius' gaze, her voice quivering with emotion as she takes a deep breath before exclaiming,
"I do."
The words hang in the air, carrying the weight of their love and commitment. The guests hold their breath, feeling the gravity of the moment, awaiting the final affirmation.
And finally, with a sense of reverence, the priest proclaims,
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
At this moment, without hesitation, Darius gazes upon his bride adorned in a white flowing gown.
After three years of pouring in love, care, and yes, even a bit of dog licking, along with some serious enthusiasm and a few bucks certainly a few million, that he's now finally got this stunning beauty right in his pocket for good.
The priest's words have been spoken, binding their souls together.
Taking a step forward, he pulls May Parker closer to his chest, his right hand gliding through her delicate waist, holding her firmly but tenderly.
Darius's other hand instinctively finds its way to her neck, supporting her head with his palm as his thumb brushes against her soft, inviting lips.
"Darius, you... can't..." May Parker speaks shyly, her words barely audible. Her ears and cheeks flush with a deep crimson blush.
Even though it is their wedding kiss, the blond man standing before her still manages to make her feel a delightful sense of embarrassment.
Yet, as she looks into his mesmerizing green eyes, a calming sensation washes over her.
"May, I will love you forever, even long after death," Darius whispers, his words filled with an eternal promise.
With that, his lips meet hers in a tender, loving seal.
Mischievously, his tongue begins to explore the depths of her sweet mouth.
Soft, lingering kisses envelop the atmosphere, their tongues intertwining with passion, each smooch denying any chance for breath as he ensures not a moment passes without marking her lips as his own.
May lets herself surrender completely, her body trembling with a sense of overwhelming desire. In this moment, she relinquishes all control, allowing her husband to take her wherever he pleases.
Ten minutes pass, and the guests begin to cast curious glances at the couple. Their actions are audacious, shameless, a scandalous display of affection. Whispers echo through the crowd, disapproving of their lack of modesty.
As minutes tick by, the guests begin to look at them with curious expressions.
"Why are these people so shameless?" they wonder.
"It's alright, we know you guys are married, but shouldn't you show some restraint in public?
Exactly! Save something for later, will ya?"
Suddenly, Richard Parker, intervenes with a booming voice, breaking the tension.
"Stop it already, Darius! She's all yours now. We don't need to witness this for too long. Hell... Someone, get them a room! Damn, these guys are turning me on..." He glances lustfully at Mary Parker while licking his lips.
Laughter ripples through the guests, an agreement shared by all. Darius reluctantly releases May's soft, strawberry-scented lips.
She lowers her head, feeling a mix of shame and exhilaration, but a sweet smile graces on her lips. She knows just how hard..No...how intensely her husband desired her.
"Alright, if you insist. But I wanted everyone to witness just how much I adore her," Darius says with a smile, taking hold of May's delicate hand.
She is shorter than him, but in the midst of all the congratulatory gazes, they walk hand in hand outside the hotel.
As they approach the decorated car awaiting May, they both slide inside, their hands still intertwined.
With the gate open, the driver prepares to whisk them away.
May, filled with newfound confidence, leans her head on Darius's strong shoulder and closes her eyes.
Darius looks at his enchanting bride with a mixture of adoration and desire. Adjusting her hair that cascades gracefully on her face, he surrounds her in a gentle but emotionally powerful embrace.
His lips curl into a smile as he gazes out of the car window with his captivating green eyes, recalling that it wasn't easy for him, a reincarnator, to navigate the Marvel world without power.
Three years ago...
The rain pounded relentlessly against the windows as Darius sat in his dimly lit room, completely engrossed in the movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness playing on his laptop screen.
Popcorn and chicken filled his mouth as he devoured the savory snacks, completely unaware of the storm brewing outside.
Suddenly, the witch of calamity appeared on screen, her voice cutting through the room. "What mouth?" she exclaimed, and in that instant, the head of the "screaming guy" burst open as he came face to face with a god.
Startled, Darius involuntarily gulped, the popcorn and chicken going down the wrong way. Panic welled up inside him as he felt himself choke, his airway obstructed by a tiny bone wrapped in flesh.
Desperately gasping for breath, he fought for survival, but fate had other plans. Darius succumbed to his own gluttony, choking to death on that fateful night.
But as his consciousness began to fade, Darius found himself in a different place altogether.
As he gasped for air, struggling to keep his consciousness, everything around him faded into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dimly lit club room, surrounded by four irresistible beauties.
Their mature and sensual aura engulfed him, as their bare bodies glistened with perspiration. It was an exhilarating sight, to say the least.
These lethal temptresses were on a mission to reveal to Darius the seven virtues of life.
Their dedication to teaching was evident as one of the sisters pounced on him, causing the already fragile bed to collapse under their fervent desires.
Darius, bewildered, couldn't help but utter, "Did I time travel?"
Indeed, he had. But not just any time travel—it was a journey to the rich ancestral roots. As a young scion of a wealthy family, he found himself in a position of power.
The sisters, however, seemed intent on punishing him without reason, taking advantage of his newfound strength and vigor.
How could he, a man with the will of a dragon, tolerate such pure humiliation?
With a surge of determination, he wielded his spear and fearlessly penetrated the enticing caves that lay ahead, leaving them in ruins.
Days passed, and Darius embraced his newfound life as a second-generation rich man.
Being an orphan meant there was no one to question or judge him for his actions.
But he couldn't shake the sense of emptiness that came with the realization that no one truly cared for him.
Nevertheless, he succumbed to the allure of the millions of dollars in his bank account.
However, fate had more surprises in store for Darius.
One fateful day, he stumbled upon news of a scandal surrounding Tony Stark, whose reckless behavior with an underage model had shaken the world.
It was then that Darius realized he had been transported not just in time, but into the Marvel world.
A surge of panic gripped him as he realized the impending threats: the Green Titan with the intention to destroy Earth and the conqueror Kang, not to mention the insidious scheming of the Celestials.
Darius knew he couldn't stand idly by and let chaos reign.
Though he lacked any supernatural abilities or cheats, he decided to invest in Stark Enterprises to forge a friendship with the future Iron Man, Tony Stark
Yet, fate took an unexpected turn when Darius encountered a young woman named Mary Parker in college.
She was destined to become the mother of Spider-Man, but after a few conversations, he lost interest in pursuing a romantic relationship with her.
He discovered that she had already engaged in sexual relations with Richard, eliminating any hopes of him becoming Spider-Man's biological father.
Darius, a self-proclaimed virgin-freak, could not reconcile with the idea of marrying a woman who had been previously intimate with another man.
Despite this setback, the desire to morally kidnap Spider-Man lingered within Darius's mind.
He regretted his earlier impulsive decision, until his gaze fell upon the young girl hiding behind Mary—May Parker.
In that moment, a glimmer of hope sparked within him. If he couldn't be the father, perhaps he could at least be the uncle to his sweet nephew.
And so now, he is determined to offer emotional support to heroes, intending to use them as a shield in perilous situations because, as a man with no power, he can't simply leave everything to fate.
Taking inspiration from Buddha's teaching that "you are the master of your own destiny".
In the future, he will decisively choose to forge relationships with heroes to exploit them morally, be a part of their little world, and make them depend on him, becoming their master like Nick Fury, but not as much hated as him.
