Azam didn't ask to be dropped into the MCU, and he definitely didn't ask to start at the bottom.Armed only with the memories of a past life and a mysterious interface called the Evolution Codex, he realizes his new body comes with a brutal perk: it permanently adapts to whatever tries to break it. To survive a world of gods, monsters, and spies, Azam spends two months in an abandoned warehouse systematically breaking his own limits. He crushes his bones under steel beams to build unbreakable density. He rewires his nervous system to dodge falling concrete. He even picks a fight with the Hulk, just to force his biology to evolve.But you can't get strong in secret forever. SHIELD is hunting a biometric ghost. Hydra is sending kill squads to harvest his DNA. And Tony Stark is asking too many questions. With the Battle of New York only days away, Azam has to step out of the shadows. He doesn't want a spot on the Avengers, and he doesn't want Fury's leash. He just needs to survive the invasion so he can unlock the next tier of his evolution.The aliens are coming. It's time to see what seventy-one days of deliberate damage can build.
