Jack Hou was many things—a Triad lieutenant, a street-smart hustler, and an absolute menace to society. He ran Chinatown with a grin, picked fights like they were a hobby, and somehow thrived off pure madness and raw talent. That was, until he got riddled with bullets at his boss’s wedding trying to protect the bride.

Dying? That sucked.

Waking up twenty years in the past, in a new body, new world, and somehow even more broke than before? That sucked harder.

Now trapped in the streets of 2002 New York, Jack is back to square one—hungry, penniless, and wanted by nobody. But things take a turn for the weird when an old man from K’un-Lun picks him up and claims he has the body of an immortal sage, destined to change fate.

Jack’s response? “Yeah, nah. Sounds like effort.”

Forced into martial arts training, qi cultivation, and unlocking his true potential, Jack has zero plans to follow orders. Instead, he does what he does best—run his mouth, break the rules, and cause absolute chaos.

But when he starts awakening strange abilities, growing stronger than a normal human should, and attracting the attention of ancient forces, Jack realizes—maybe this isn’t just a second chance at life.

Maybe he’s something more than human.

Maybe… he was never human to begin with.

Crazy fights, unhinged banter, and a monkey with no chill— Jack Hou is about to turn the Marvel world upside down, one bad decision at a time.

I have a small announcement to make regarding our story. We're going to be taking a short hiatus for the next week. I had originally planned to pause after chapter 90, but after looking at the content, I realized it would leave you all on a massive cliffhanger, and I definitely don't want to do that to you!


Now that Jack has become a marble (I know, what a time to pause on, right?), the story is about to take another significant time jump of a few months. This feels like a natural point to have a little "season break."


There's some exciting news behind this break! The main reason is to give me a chance to get the Patreon chapters caught up. I had to put those on the back burner while I was pouring all my energy into my thesis. But I'm thrilled to announce that my thesis has just been accepted!


To celebrate, and because I've missed interacting with you all, I'd love to use this break to host a Q&A session! I know there have been many comments and questions that I haven't had the chance to properly go through and answer. This is your chance to ask me anything! Please leave your questions in the comments section of this chapter, and I will do my absolute best to answer them all.


Thank you so much for your incredible support and understanding. I can't wait to come back refreshed and ready to dive into the next chapter of our journey together! May The Monkey King Blessed ALL OF YOU!!!


Chapter 94 - A Little Break and a Big Thank You! (Plus, a Q&A!)
