MARVEL REVERSE WOLVERINE

In a world where dragons soared through myth and serpents coiled in the shadows of history, a prodigious yet sickly martial arts master found himself given a second chance—one he had never sought. Reborn into the privileged yet isolated life of wolverine, the sole heir to a vast 19th-century Canadian estate, he initially believed his destiny lay in refining his fighting skills and turning them into fortune. Perhaps he could master the art of boxing, carving out a name for himself in underground rings or high society duels. But as the Industrial Revolution roared to life around him, opportunities far greater than mere physical prowess beckoned. Yet fate, ever a cruel jester, had woven a far more complicated tale. The original James had been a frail, sickly child, doomed to waste away in the halls of his family’s manor. And if that weren’t enough, his life had been entangled in scandal—a whispered affair with the estate’s gardener, a disgrace hidden beneath the weight of nobility. But none of that compared to the true horror. A sharp, searing pain tore through his hands. His breath hitched as he doubled over, clutching his fingers in disbelief. Then, with a wet, sickening sound, something burst forth from his knuckles—three jagged bone claws, gleaming under the dim candlelight of his room. James stared in shock, his heartbeat pounding like a war drum in his ears. This wasn’t just a second life. It was something far more dangerous. Far more… monstrous. And as the blood dripped onto the polished wooden floors, he realized one chilling truth—his future was far more uncertain than he had ever imagined.
