Hey, First I wanted to say Thank You to all of you For Reading my Story. Besides the fact that this is only my little side Project is this more successful than my main project.

So Second: I only watched the first Season of the Anime so I don´t know any of the manga stuff. I can only write with the Knowledge that someone can get from the anime.

Guest: It's reassuring to know that I don't get disliked or anything just because he's stronger (or different) than the others. And the version I use... well it's more of a mix of different ones. The most represented are Assassin Spider-Man from What if and several parts from the 616 (clones, Way of the Spider martial art, X-men vs Avengers, Civil War (the first one, the second one wasn't that good in my opinion), the other, the fact that peter is the center of the web of life, etc.) and a bit of FanFictions I've been reading and one or two of the shows.

Zohan01: That was the Plan. ;)

BobIsBadAtEnglish: Hey, I think I will give your recommendation a view if I have some time. And thank you, I haven't noticed my writing getting better, I'll keep trying my best to improve more. And the thing with the Flashback...well I thought, I bring that later in the story for the mystery (but I will think of adding pieces of a Flashback). I want to make the story more interesting before I introduce us to the "ghosts".

I do not own Marvel or The rising of the Shield Hero

Chapter 3: Strange happenings, betrayal and conspiracy

"Sir Hero are you alright?" asks Myne "concerned" the hero with the shield.

Peter still looks around a bit confused, but responds to his companion's worried question with a reassuring "I-(clears throat) I'm fine. No need to worry" with a slight groan he stands up again.

While he shakes off the dust and discreetly analyzes the landscape, the red-haired adventuress continues, "I'm so glad you're doing well, Sir Hero, I was so worried when you suddenly just passed out. Are you really doing Well?"

'Apart from her acting, she doesn't seem very talented in combat, at least that's the impression she gives. Probably she went through some kind of basic training but never got over the status "ordinary".'

"Hey, don't worry, I'm fine, I've had worse, I'm not going down that fast." with a twinkle in his eye, the last survivor of his world says to Myne that everything is fine.

'What has happened to me in the last few hours? If I hadn't been trained to take mental attacks, I wouldn't have had any memories from yesterday till now. Is that the doing of Lady Death ? Did she control my body last Night? It's like yesterday's events are like a bad movie in my head'

Concerned about the sudden black out, Peter tries to figure out what just happened. At the same time he tries to concentrate on the here and now ('thank you Master Jinn for this wisdom') AND to organize the information that is suddenly in his head.

"Well, how about we get on with it now?" the "hero" looks expectantly at his only "faithful companion".

Myne, who was a bit surprised by this sudden change of topic, the fact that he is suddenly alright, tries to pull herself together and answers with a hesitant and sweet voice " I...gladly. Let's continue, Sir Hero"

'That confirms, he is The Shield Devil. Nobody faints and is in the next moment fully recovered'

Peter just looks at her with a nice smile, but as soon as the red head turned around, his face turned into a scowl. 'Do you really think I'm that naive? I'm like a love-struck puppy who believes your every word and follows you around? How about I do something...unexpected now?'

Suddenly, the spider hero is no longer on the field with the balloons, but in a dark library.

Illuminated by the moon, the room is bathed in a ghostly white. Our vigilante has a book in his hand. '' What is this? How do I get here? his thoughts, confused.

Then suddenly he hears a voice...his own voice " So when one of the Legendary Heroes chooses a companion, he becomes a member of their 'party'. A kind of group system similar to those in RPG Online games. All that is needed is an invitation from the hero or a request from the companions. If that's not an useful information."

And then, all of a sudden, he's back on the field next to Myne. 'What was that? That felt like...like a memory. What was that last night?'

Still a bit confused, the murderer for money suddenly has a flash of inspiration. Chuckling darkly inside, he says something that catches the princess in disguise completely off guard.

"Myne, would you actually like to join my party? Because of all the excitement of the last two days, I completely forgot to ask. So how about it?" Peter asks the red-haired girl cautiously, almost shyly.

'If that no-good, lying, fucking bitch believes me, she's even dumber than I thought' with an inwardly expressionless face, his face looks hopeful shy on the outside.

'W...WHAT?! How does he know about this? I was told The Shield Hero knows nothing of our world and its mechanics. How does HE KNOW?' The first princess is in a state of chaos. It makes no sense to her that the Shield Hero knows so much.

"Uh- Yes, I, uh, would like to join your party, S-Sir Hero", a little off track, she answers him stuttering.

"Wonderful, wonderful, ah there you are... Wow Myne you're level 24 that's impressive. And what would your skills be, if you don't mind me asking? A beautiful and charming woman like you is also incredibly intelligent and strong. Tell me, what's your secret?" the self-proclaimed agent of justice is flattering his fellow adventurer.

Despite her "hatred" for the hero of the shield, she blushed at the unexpected compliments. What woman doesn't like to be praised? 'Hook'

"I-well, I, uh, am a mediocre swordswoman and um, somewhat gifted in fire magic.", Myne replies shyly as she pushes her hair behind her ear. "Also, I'm proficient in a support spell."

'Line'

"Really, that's great! We'll have less problems with that once we get more members." He looks at her with an almost heartwarming smile.

"Oh Sir Hero, you don't have to say that, it's not that great" with false modesty, she blushes, "I've got you now Shield Demon".

"Oh my dear Myne" with a friendly smile the antihero takes her hand "You can call me Peter if you like".

As her emerald green eyes meet his deep blue soul stirring eyes she blushes deeply 'Why do you have to be so good looking?

"O-okay, sir-(clearing throat) I mean, Peter"

'Sinker, Now I've got you Bitch!...wait... Fuck, I spend way too much time with Wade! Why else do I think of doing 'unexpected things', first with a joyful mood, Logan's partner quickly resigns.

2 Hours Later

"Myne tell me, do you know where the nearest library would be?" while the two adventurers were recovering from a round of leveling up, the Shielder asked her this question.

"A library? I know only the big state library in town. Why, do you want to go there sir-I meant Peter?" in a sweet and slightly naive voice she answered her companion.

Peter looks at her with a deep look of his sea blue eyes, "I want to know more about your world, the world that created such a beautiful being as you".

'Beh, if Alex or even Felicia heard me now, they would throw up immediately. Since when is this my way of taking revenge? Especially for a deed that hasn't even been completed yet? Aunt May would be disappointed...but then again, she was disappointed in me eighty percent of the time.'

The fire mage lived up to her affinity as her face flushed completely, "P-Please I'm not that pretty."

The Vigilante turns to her completely, takes her right hand, presses a gentle kiss on it and says with a firm voice, full of seriousness "Myne, I am being completely honest when I say you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. No one, really no one would disagree with me on that point."

The princess in disguise blushed even more. She had never seen a man with such charisma who said such words to her with such seriousness. She was about to make another half-hearted attempt to contradict him when he continued.

"Besides, I also believe that you are much more than one sees from the outside. From the first moment you looked me in the eye, I thought you were an intelligent and talented young woman. When I saw your level, this theory was confirmed. Never let your value be determined by others. In the end, it is we ourselves who determine who we want to be and, above all, what we want to be.

'I want him', Malty was never praised for her intelligence or her abilities. Yes, her father praised her and sometimes someone who wanted to sleep with her, but she never felt that they were honest with her.

A father says many things to make his children happy, her father even more.

'I don't care what the church wants, I want him for me.'

The man from another world, could see the struggle in her eyes. The struggle between the reaction of her feelings to his actions and her mind that was set on betraying him for some reason.

"How about a walk through the city? You could show me your favorite places and we could get to know each other. Mhm, what do you think about that?" with a warm smile he pulls her out of her thoughts.

While he was still talking, something suddenly stirred in the nearby forest. A monster, a kind of wolf beast, raced snarling and drooling towards the two.

The princess, somewhat prepared by training, draws her sword and gets ready when something completely unexpected from her point of view happens...The hero of the shield, someone who was said to have no offensive capabilities, jumped towards the wolf.

The monster growls like a wild beast runs on and jumps towards our hero. The hero is calm and holds his shield in front of him. 'Man, this thing looks uglier than a warg', the wolf hits the shield and tries to bite Peter's head off, who just grimaces in disgust, "My, you stink worse than Logan when he hasn't showered in a week".

Malty can't believe her eyes, despite the fact that the monster has a level 23 and thus exceeds Peter's level by 20, the latter doesn't even look like he's making an effort. Yes, he doesn't even look a bit scared.

"Myne, how about we finish him off together?...Myne?" the called one doesn't react, still can't understand how a shield bearer with almost no combat experience can be so calm.

"Myne...? (muttering) Of course you're just standing there stupidly. (Clearing throat) Fine, I'll do it myself."As soon as he said this, he grabbed the beast's fur with one hand and threw it onto the nearest tree. Which stood 40 m away. Adieu secret identity. sigh.

If the red-haired adventuress was speechless before, now her mouth hung to the floor. For a level 3 male to be able to throw such a large beast that distance with ease makes no sense. It goes against all laws. According to their studies, albeit meager, none of the four heroes have ever shown this so early after their summoning.

Although Peter realized his mistake, inside he knew that this demonstration of strength was a too early release of his abilities, but a big part of his mind was still full of anger, full of hate.
Hate for Thanos, anger for not being able to talk to his friends and loved ones, hate for Lady Death for whatever that was doing to him, anger for not knowing anything about the current situation at least not to the extent that he would like to .

And most important: Anger that after only five minutes in this world you want to screw him. 'What did my therapist always say? 'Peter, it's not good to hold your feelings inside', well, Ms. Frost, if you're watching from somewhere, I'm letting my emotions out. On this fucking monster.'

His eyes lit up red for an imperceptible moment. The wolf monster struggles to get up, wiggling. A huge bleeding wound on his side and a smaller one on his forehead.
A nasty broken bone sticks out of its side and the wolf appears to be missing an eye. Difficult and weak, it tries to stand up and growl menacingly.

Faster than the human eye can see, the center of the web of life is with the wolf, staring at him with blood-red, hate-filled eyes. "How many innocents have you killed already? How many children? You never showed mercy so expect none from me"

Then he dropped his fist on the wolf in the blink of an eye. However, the result was that of an AG36 grenade. A crater and a dead Lecihnahme, above it a cloud of dust, in the cloud of dust Peter bends down and feeds parts of the wolf to his shield.

'It was definitely worth reading through the help menu. What I'm wondering is why does the shield forbid me to carry any other weapon? Does it ban guns in general or just guns you can buy? If I make some myself, can I also lead them?'

While the warrior from another time was still thinking about how he could outwit the system, pure Chao was in the spirit of the first princess from Melromarc 'No normal person is that strong at this level without magic or something similar. But I felt no magic. Who and better what is he? I don't think conspiring against him is a good idea.'

When the Legendary Hero was done, he went back to his, now, silent companion.

"So how about we go into the city now?"

Line Break

You can hear the happy hustle and bustle of a tavern, it's dark outside and so people come in to rest a bit. Our Four Heroes are in this tavern right now, which is why the tavern has more customers than usual.

As soon as the spider-related hero negotiated the financing for the two rooms, he sat down at Myne's table to eat something. She has hardly spoken a word since the incident with the monster.

However, her thoughts are 'Mine, mine, mine, mine, he's mine, he's strong intelligent and handsome, he just has to be mine. Who else has a right but me, a princess, a beauty and with him by my side I could also become queens hehehe'

Although these thoughts play into Peter's hands, at least in part, he doesn't know about them, assuming she's exhausted and shocked by the events of the past few hours.

'After killing this warg-like creature I'm level 14. So with every level increased, all stats improve. Hmm interesting, even the stats from my world have improved. What I'm wondering is whether I can also distribute points to increase certain skills or status points...maybe something like luck, Thor himself knows that I need it'

As he began to eat his food, he felt several looks at him, which he dismissed as curiosity for being the hero of the shield.

Except most didn't even see his shield. They looked at him as a man, after all he was one of the tallest and best looking men in the tavern. Well he typically doesn't realize it because 1. he's busy eating and thinking how best to play out the whole situation. The whole thing with the incantation and stuff.

In addition, there was still the problem with the No Weapon plitic of his shield AND the mysterious Black Out.
Well and 2. he's a dense idiot.

"D-(clear your throat) Do you want to drink some Wine?" a pretty young woman with brown hair asked the anti-hero.
Malty looks at the woman with anger in her eyes 'Who do you think you are, bitch? He is mine!'

Before Peter could politely decline the offer, however, his table partner hissed, "He's already drinking with me. So if you'd please leave, I'd like to speak to my...boyfriend."

"B-bo-boyfriend? I-I'm so sorry, sorry to bother you." stuttering and frightened, she quickly runs away again. ' Wow, the woman is toxic. Just the kind of woman that likes. I have to be careful...I might fall in love with her.'

"Woah, is there someone possessive of your hero?" Peter looks at her teasingly and grinning. Myne's face takes on the color of her hair.

"I-I-um (clear my throat) I just don't like being disturbed while eating" She tries to talk her way out of it a little haughtily, but forgets to play the innocent girl she's been playing for him all day.

"And what do you mean by boyfriend?", still grinning sleazy, he looks at her amused, almost delighted that her true character is slowly coming into its own.

"I just-did say that to get rid of them quicker. Now can we please talk about something else, like your homeworld?" pleading, almost begging, she looks at the mercenary.

For a brief moment, the moment she mentions his world, his eyes flicker red. But he quickly pulls himself together with a smile and says "Haha, ok ok don't worry we can talk about something else. How about I tell you something about my world called cars."

After he got rid of her awkwardness, they talked for a few more hours. At some point other people, men and women, joined them and listened attentively and intently.

The ranks kept whispering that he doesn't look like a demon at all, that his voice is so incredibly soft and so on.

Eventually, Peter got into a heated discussion with Ren, the Hero of the Sword, about what the smartest strategy would be when dealing with a dragon-like monster.

Spider-Man had an unfair advantage because he had 10 years of experience over the boy AND because he had fought dragons a few times. But that's the story for another time.

Eventually it got late and most of them went to sleep, including Itsuki and Motoyasu, who initially tried to have a say in the two but were quickly excluded. Myne has already retired to her room.

Peter and Ren meanwhile stayed up late after 2 am and then Ren went to his room completely exhausted.
Peter then ordered another beer. At the very attractive barmaid. I think where HE spent his night is self-explanatory.

So this was it with Chapter 3. I hope it is not bad written. I was actually three days on this Chapter so I really hope it's okay. Till next Time. Hopefully.
