Game in Marvel

Though there were no mental scars from it, after fighting for a full day, he didn't have the time nor the energy to deal with school life. Money wasn't a problem for him anyway, so he wasn't that interested in learning about real-life skills anymore.

Olivia didn't like this at all. She was okay with her son not attending a university, but not even finishing high school wasn't in her plans. It was Mason who came to the rescue, saying that even if Liam lost the business, his knowledge of cars would hold him up pretty well.

He had seen him work in his garage, and he could easily say that his son knew more about cars than he himself did, and that was a huge compliment.

"If anything goes wrong, I will not come to save you," Olivia declared before she stomped away to the master bedroom.

"Leave your mother alone. She just thinks you will grow up dumb," Mason said to his son.

"Do I look dumb?" Liam asked.

"Of course not. You're the most intelligent son a father could ever ask for. Before 18, you're already a millionaire, and you don't have the impulses of a teenager going to parties or raves. I know that you have some secret and have some dealings with Tony Stark. I won't stop you, but I need you to promise me that you won't get into any trouble," Mason said. Liam wasn't that surprised that his father might have suspected something.

He, out of nowhere, was all buddy-buddy with Iron Mage, going for an internship at his place, and even disappearing on them many times. If it were any other moment, Mason would say that his son was dealing drugs. But he knew that his son wasn't and was caught up in something important. Maybe his son was in some top project of the military, especially after the new technology that Marvel had been pouring out.

This was also the reason that Mason was allowing his son more freedom.

"I am safe, Dad. You don't need to worry about me. Just convince Mom," Liam said.

"I will."

From that day on, Mason spent the majority of his time in the warehouse and would come home only on the weekends.

Two months later.

Liam had finally started his mission, and at one point in the journey, he finally came across Brok. The dwarf. The same man who made the Leviathan Axe and Thor's hammer.

Liam helped him cross the hanging bridge, and in return, Brok asked him if he needed an upgrade on his axe, to which Liam gladly accepted. Of course, in the fashion of Kratos, acting as if his words cost him money. But after Liam gave him the axe, he also brought out his own items.

Brok squinted at the weapons laid before him. The blades gleamed under the ambient light of the sun, and the bow seemed spectral, as at times, light seemed to pass right through it.

"Huh. This ain't normal dwarf work, that's for sure," Brok muttered. He tapped the flat of one blade with his knuckle, listening to the sound it made. "Damn thing hums. That's some good craftin', but it sure as Hel ain't from any human hands either."

Brok huffed, lifting the bow next. His eyes narrowed.

"These weapons... they got an elvish touch to 'em. Not just in the design, but in how the magic clings to 'em." He shook his head, scoffing. "Can't say I expected you to be carryin' elf work, big guy."

"Wait… you have swords?" Atreus was in disbelief. "Since when? I thought you only used the axe." Liam glanced down at Atreus.

"A warrior does not reveal all his weapons at once."

"Right, well, ya want me to work on these, huh? Fine. I'll see what I can do. These are already fine weapons, but I can reinforce 'em, enhance their magic flow, maybe even give 'em a bit more bite. But I gotta know—what exactly do you want from 'em? More power? More speed? Or do ya want 'em ta do somethin' special?"

"I want them to be better. Stronger. Able to cut through gods if necessary. If you need any kind of resources, you can ask me, and I will get it."

"Heh. Now that's a tall order. But if anyone can do it, it's me." He grinned, rolling up his sleeves. "Alright, big guy, leave 'em with me. Give me some time, and I'll make these beauties even deadlier."

Liam also gave him his other armor to let Brok work on that; in return, he would pay him with resources or whatever Brok and his brother Sindri would need. And after an hour of waiting, Brok didn't disappoint.

After the upgrades were done, he was immediately thrust into battle, and instead of using the Leviathan Axe, he used his twin swords. Though he didn't have the wraith abilities with him, he did have the power of a godly body.

So, using the swords, he was able to kill those small-time monsters. And the blades served him well. He was happy with the extra power. And along with the power also came the power of elements. Vigilance had the power of fire, and Dominion had the power of lightning. Though it wasn't at the level of the Leviathan Axe or Mjolnir, it was still quite the extra power Liam was able to wield.

This would help him a lot in the real world.

After Liam was done with Brok and running around for a few more days, he finally met with Sindri, who again made his weapons better than before. The story thus further progressed with Liam having better weapons at his disposal, though he mostly used his axe in his mission to complete, as that was faster.

After this Liam also met Freya, and she helped Liam a lot in this journey. But Liam knew how this journey would end.
