Author's Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

Ten years. Ten years of silence, steel bars, and suffocating isolation. Ten years of sacrifice for a family that never intended to save her. Heira Darnell believed her choice was noble pleading guilty to a crime she didn’t commit to protect her father’s empire. She imagined her loyalty would be rewarded with love, with redemption. That her family would fight for her release, proclaim her innocence, and one day welcome her back with open arms. She was wrong. When the prison gates finally opened, freedom came with a devastating truth: her family had erased her. They denied her existence, rewrote history, and built a new life without her. In her place, they installed Calliope a girl they adopted not out of love, but out of strategy. Beautiful, brilliant, and venomous beneath a perfect smile, Calliope didn’t just fill Heira’s shoes she twisted the knife. It wasn’t enough to replace Heira. Calliope rewrote her story, poisoned what was left of her name, and made sure no one would ever ask what really happened.

And Heira is no longer playing by their rules.

Two strangers, each carrying wounds the world can’t see, are thrown together by fate. He wants to melt her defenses. She wants to escape his grip. But when fire meets ice, someone always gets burned. Some hearts freeze to survive. Others burn to feel alive. Only the fiercest embers remain.

"My daughter is missing! Find her!" The moment I stepped into this country, my daughter was kidnapped. I swore, I'd kill anyone whoever dared to take my other half from me. But, when she was found, she was in the arms of a mute, devastatingly handsome man. "He took my child, kill him!" I ordered mercilessly, snatching my daughter from his grasp. "Don't kill Papa!" ...Huh? Papa? 'Has my daughter lost her mind?' "Mommy, you can't hurt Daddy!" 'What the hell has this man done to her?' I wasn't taking any chances. Dragging him with us, I forced him to sign a slav- well, let's just call it a marriage contract for a year. A necessary measure. My real business in this country was to infiltrate a private military company and persuade them to illegally trade arms with my Mafia father. But who would've thought? The mute mysterious man I married turned out to be none other than the famous ruthless Marshal of the company, whom I was ordered to avoid at all cost. Am I about to die by his hands? Will he arrest me? Should I run? "The only thing you'll be guilty of is running away, my criminal wife." My mute husband threatened me, with his deep voice. "Go ahead. I dare you!" ...Shit. I'm so screwed!

Prologue: The Jellybean That Ended Me In the end, I was taken out by a jellybean. Not a fucking flaming meteor. Not a jealous ex. Not even an evil god or a runaway isekai porter truck-kun. Just… a jellybean. I suppose that's poetic in a way. Quiet, dumb, colorful. Kind of like me. It happened on a Wednesday. I had just finished my shift at the campus library—because of course the most invisible person in school works at the one place everyone pretends doesn't exist—and I was munching on some leftover candy I found in the back room. One bounced. I slipped. Then boom. Back of my head. Cold floor. Static darkness. And just like that… Game Over. Or so I thought. Somewhere Else "Oops." That's the first thing I heard when I opened my eyes. Not "welcome," not "you've died," not "rise, chosen one." Just— "Oops." I blinked. A Beautiful girl stood over me in what looked like an office that had been hit by a magic tornado. Floating paperwork, runes glowing mid-air, some kind of celestial calendar flipping pages by itself. Her hair sparkled like starlight, and her clothes looked like someone combined a lab coat with a wedding dress and decided not to explain either choice. "Okay, listen," she said, holding up her hands. "Funny story. You weren't supposed to die yet." "…Cool," I said, already regretting being conscious. She winced. "Also funny story number two—you weren't supposed to be isekai'd." I sat up slowly. "Ise-what now?" She pointed behind me. A glowing portal swirled like a magical Ramen bowl. A box of jellybeans floated inside it, marked… [DO NOT EAT: SACRED OFFERING TO THE HERO OF LIGHT.] "Oh," I said. "Yeah," she said. We stared at it for a long second. Then the floor vanished. Somewhere Else I woke up in a field. Well, sort of. There was grass. Trees. A mountain in the distance shaped suspiciously like a dragon's sleeping face. The sky was blue, but the kind of blue that made you think someone cast a Make the Sky Nicer spell. In my hand was a slip of paper. Welcome, Random Human! Due to clerical error, you've been reincarnated in [World No. 104-Q]. Please enjoy your stay. Skill(s) Granted: [Shadow Talent – MAX]. Role: Background Villager (Disposable Tier). Name: Unregistered. Fate: Unknown. I read it again. Then again. Then I laughed. The kind of laugh you make when your brain decides it's safer to be amused than terrified. Because this? This was the perfect setup. Everyone always dreams of being the hero. I'm going to be something better. The guy no one sees coming. I Just Got an IDEA! [End of Prologue]
