In the dimly lit room, Shadow's fingers traced the intricate patterns of the twelve pupil rings adorning his fingers, each ring corresponding to a unique and potentially life-altering technique. Determination etched across his face, he knew that survival in this perilous world hinged on unlocking the first pupil ring. The priority was clear – obtaining that initial ability for a semblance of self-preservation.

"The world is treacherous," he murmured to himself, fully aware of the dangers that lurked around every corner. His gaze shifted to the distant future, where ominous villains like Thanos held the power to reshape existence with a snap. Such uncertainty fueled Shadow's resolve; he couldn't gamble on a fifty-fifty chance of survival.

His focus narrowed on the outermost pupil ring, the first one. To unlock it, he needed to stir significant emotional changes. With Natasha, the Black Widow, by his side, he pressed on, intensifying his efforts. The first pupil technique demanded a unique condition, and Shadow found himself delicately manipulating the energy, rubbing Natasha's soft place, seeking the emotional intensity required.

Natasha, the famed Black Widow, exuded charm even in her disguised state. Despite Shadow's primary purpose being to gain power, he couldn't help but appreciate her allure. "I'm here for power, not to take advantage," he assured himself, a shy smile playing on his lips as he nestled even deeper into Natasha's arms.

Caught in the moment, Natasha, perceptive as ever, sensed Shadow's restlessness. "Child, come down. I'll talk to Dean Marie," she suggested, cheeks slightly flushed. However, Shadow, unyielding, expressed a desire to be closer to Natasha, likening her to a great mother figure.

As the encounter unfolded, a mix of confusion and amusement filled the air. Unbeknownst to Natasha, Shadow's seemingly playful antics were, in fact, strategic. He yearned to stay in her arms, collecting the emotional changes required to hasten the opening of the first pupil ring.

Unexpectedly, a distant commotion interrupted the seemingly intimate scene, drawing everyone's attention. Natasha's face shifted, realizing that the threat had surfaced in another direction. Oblivious to the unfolding events, Dean Marie questioned Natasha's sudden departure, speculating whether Shadow's enthusiasm had scared her away.

In that chaotic moment, Shadow's emotional rollercoaster reached its zenith. As he left Natasha's arms, the required emotional changes manifested, and the first pupil ring opened. The Eye of Geass, bestowed upon him, granted an absolute command ability, reminiscent of Lelouch's eyes. Excitement surged within Shadow as he embraced the newfound power, ready to navigate the Marvel world with a trace of self-preservation.

The journey had just begun.

The energy coursing through Shadow's veins was palpable, and as the Eye of Geass opened, a surge of power resonated within him. The room, once shrouded in dimness, seemed to brighten as the mystical force of the first pupil ring enveloped him.

The golden left pupil and the amethyst right eye gleamed with a reddish light, and in the center of his eyes, an inverted V-shaped symbol appeared – the unmistakable mark of the Eyes of Geass. Shadow lowered his head slightly, allowing the hanging ends of his hair to conceal the transformation, creating an air of mystery.

No one in the room noticed the faint fluorescence emanating from his purple-gold pupils. The world, unaware of the newfound ability Shadow possessed, continued to unfold around him. The Eyes of Geass, activated for the first time, marked the initiation of a journey filled with intrigue and unforeseen challenges.

With the first pupil ring officially opened, a force generated in the pupil totem above Shadow's forehead. The eye meridians slowly flowed to the position of his eyes, and the strange energy completely wrapped around his eyeballs. His vision, now altered by the mystical power, allowed him to perceive the world in ways unimaginable.

As the Marvel world brimmed with chaos and uncertainties, Shadow felt a surge of confidence. The absolute command ability bestowed upon him by the Eyes of Geass was a game-changer. The power to command without resistance, to distort ethics, ideas, and beliefs, rested in his hands.

Lelouch's Geass, known for its ability to control even the most resolute minds, now resided within Shadow. The absolute command could bend the will of others to his whims, granting him an unparalleled advantage in a world where power dictated one's fate.

In the moments following the activation of the Eyes of Geass, Shadow couldn't help but marvel at the significance of this newfound ability. The realization that he held the power to shape outcomes, to influence the very fabric of reality, filled him with both awe and responsibility.

Yet, such power came with its limitations. The executor could issue only one command at a time. The gaze signal type of the Geass eye required direct eye contact for its influence to take hold. Moreover, its efficacy weakened when the target was in a near-death state.

But these limitations did little to dampen Shadow's enthusiasm. In a world where strength equated to survival, the Eyes of Geass bestowed upon him a formidable tool. The ability to control life and death, to command unwavering obedience, positioned Shadow as a force to be reckoned with.

The Marvel world, teeming with heroes and villains, presented an array of challenges and adversaries. With the Eyes of Geass, Shadow embarked on a journey to carve his path through the chaos. His first goal – self-preservation – now seemed well within reach.

As he ventured into the Marvel landscape, Shadow's mind buzzed with the possibilities that lay ahead. The absolute command ability would undoubtedly open doors, unveil secrets, and shape alliances. The journey promised encounters with iconic characters, each with their own unique powers and backstories.

The Marvel universe, known for its dynamic and interconnected narratives, unfolded before Shadow like a tapestry of endless possibilities. From the bustling streets of New York City to the cosmic realms beyond, every corner held the potential for discovery and confrontation.

With the Eyes of Geass as his guiding compass, Shadow sought to navigate the intricate web of alliances and conflicts that defined the Marvel world. The power to command offered not only a means of self-preservation but also a tool for diplomacy and influence.

As he traversed through the Marvel landscape, Shadow encountered a myriad of characters – some allies, some adversaries. The absolute command ability became a double-edged sword, demanding careful consideration of when and how to wield its influence. Every encounter tested Shadow's strategic acumen and ethical boundaries.

One such encounter led him face-to-face with a formidable adversary – a villain with powers beyond comprehension. The temptation to use the Eyes of Geass for a decisive command hung in the air. However, Shadow grappled with the ethical implications, torn between the pursuit of self-preservation and the responsibility that came with wielding such power.

The Marvel world, relentless in its challenges, forced Shadow to confront not only external threats but also the internal struggle of morality and power. The journey became a quest for self-discovery, as the Eyes of Geass revealed not only the secrets of others but also the depths of Shadow's own character.

Amidst the chaos and conflicts, alliances were forged and betrayals endured. The Marvel universe, unforgiving yet full of wonders, tested Shadow's mettle at every turn. The absolute command ability
