《Mage born in the marvel universe》


 So how much do I get

    "Welcome new soul, you are dead! If you would please float forward, and proceed to passing trought that circle. We can start the process of your next step." A divine beautiful women said behind a desk. Their was alot of document on it, she held a smile like if everything in the world was okay.


    Floating forward the soul pass trought the circle that was just up in the air, it didn''t seem to be attach too anything. This should be impossible, but then again he was dead so the things he once knew didnt seem to applied anymore.


    "Excuse me, but why I''m I so calm about this? I seem to vaguely remember that I was never this compose to new and well odd things."


    The goddess nodded as if she half expected the question, he couldn''t see any hint of annoyance or mockery. If he tried too describe her look, he wouldn''t be abble too, her lookes seem to shift from one to another seemingly. From blond to dark, eyes colours warping into all colours in seconds. The whole processe did nothing but made her even more beautiful, giving an air of out worldly beauty.


    "You see, long ago Urlearnor the devastator of holes became fed up in dealing with soul being overcome by their emotions. So he created this place and many like it, all in order to inforce a calming effect on the souls and also a kind of hypnosis so that every soul who pass here accept their new reality. Ever since then, the over use of power by divine being have been at a all time low." She said with a huge warm smile.


    That smile sent all kinds of feeling in the soul, feelings like wanting too do anything just to see her smile once more.


    "Oooh okay. Uhm what happens now?"


    "Well, since you''ve already pass throught the circle. Just give me a minute so I can bring up your life onnnnnn, oh earth. That a nice one, very high level for a good life their, very few bad things going on. Still a bit primitive in their outlook on life, sigh their biggest ennemy is still themselves. Who ever is in charge over their, they are definitely lazy." She went on, revealing things that if the people back home would hear a few might feel a little shame in knowing what the world of Gods thought about them.


    "Wait does it mean that God exist?" The soul spoke in surprise and confusion.


    "Huh, well I guest your talking about Bob, yeah his definitely been avoiding his duties. Well can''t say I blame him, every time he tried to help, everyone constantly got his name wrong. Its gets very demoralizing when those your s''oppose to look out for keep thanking a state of being instead of the actual being it self. You know he''s tried for a few hundred years now, in switching with someone else. But no one wants too, we all get a kick out of it watching him sweat." The goddess told him in a almost gossipy tone, only to fall into a fit of giggles.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.


    The goddess laught was as distracting as her smile, the soul just blank out as he was lost in his own little world. Sure what she had just revealed would know doubt cause many back on earth too panic or scream in disbelief. This could potentially alter the very reality that people and their faith had cultivated for years on earth. But in a odd way it made sense, why was it that so many different divine deity existed on earth. The fact that earth was past over to other as part of a dutie made some sense.


    "Ah here we are, now lets get a look at your life. Hum, you seem pretty plain." She said in a little disappointed tone.


    The soul had to bite back an urge to grove and apologize for not doing more. He smiled in joy at her next words.


    "Still you''ve done alot of good around you, nice persone in all. You''ve been really unlucky in love, but a good family. Your daugther will grow up to be a spark, that will effect many. Your own action in life have been mostly on the good side. Okay I got enought for an estimate. You now have just about 5780 karma in this life. Not bad but not good either."


    "So what do I do with the Karma?"


    "Well first let me tell you your options. The first and most common option, for those who come from your earth. Is to return to earth and add their karma to their new life, you can use it to be born in a more privilage family, or use it to upgrade yourself. Like increase intelligence or a heathy body that wont get sick from cancer or the likes. You could also choses not to use it up, and accumulate it in your next life. A few did it and they return with a good chunk more, but be advise that if you do choses that, life does get much harder. You become a sorte of beacon, so life on earth will test you alot. The flip side is if you manage to overcome the test, the reward are very generous."


    The soul was stun, it soon came to realize that people in history who seem to live extraordinary lives could have been thoses who choses that very option. He knew that deep down he wasn''t realy up for it. Life on earth had been nice, but he had alway found that he just didn''t seem to fit in their.


    "what are the other option?" The soul said with a conviction, if his years of reading webnovel told him anything it was that the option he wanted might exist.


    The Goddess smiled she seem to understand exactly what he wanted.


    "Well, things aren''t liked most of the stories, yes I can send you to a different world. And no, getting a system is impossible in any shape or form."


    "Why yes for one but no for the other?" The soul ask, a brief idea of possibility pass over in his mind.


    "Sigh, the system thing is just plain broken, it tends too created more work for the rest of use in cleaning up after the user. Also the power up are to fast and the user tend to get corrupted in the long run. They ultimatly destroy whatever universe their in, sure on paper it seem fine. But once they are out in the world, the system and user become twisted in the long run. Long story short its possible for you or anyone in ascending to Godhood. But you need to walk on that path by yourself, as the system user well any roadblock that are their for a reason, they simply steam role over it. The first few levels it not to bad, but its the final few steps that should never be taking lightly. The user if they just steam over thoses steps, well we tend to get being of pure madness and chaos."


    "Ah so no system, got it."

 Choices

    "Now since that part is out of the way. Let me tell you the other option that you have." The Goddess gave a bright smile that treathen the soul sanity for a moment, since it was so wonderful.


    The soul felt a sort of block or barrier that lifted around it, the effect of her smile was now muted. In a sick way he wish to have that full blast once more. Deep down he knew that if she didn''t raise a shield of some sort he might have just implodes from it divine pressure.


    "Sorry about that. I sometime forget to tone it down for you mortal souls." You could hear a small tone of guilt in her voice.


    "No it ok, it just well, I''ve never seen anything so beautiful." For a moment the soul wanted nothing more then to smack his head on a wall, his line was so cheesy it ooze out in spades.


    The Goddess gave out a light laught that seem to heal all the soul wounds, it also started too unconsciously approach her. She looked down at the soul, a quick looked of pity flash by before she return to her warm smile.


    "You have to understand something, as a goddess I attract all mortal souls. So any new feeling of infatuation you have are all a buy produced of me being divine. In some worlds you can increase your strength to the point of resisting this passive aura."


    It was a sobering thought for the soul in knowing the influence just being in the presence of the divine could generate. It also felt gratitude to this goddess for telling him this info and not allow him to fall into a emotinal trap of his own making.


    "Thank you Goddess. Er do you perhaps have a name?"


    A sweet smile on her face had him wish that a certain part of his anatomy was present.


    "You just keep calling me goddess, its only allow if we had a certain connection to each other. More then on one occasion complication arise from a divine giving out their names to random souls. Now we got off topics for a bit. Since it obviouse you wish to remove yourself from your world circle of rebirth. The first thing is too choses a new world to tether your soul too, now I must warn you this does cost karma."


    "How much are we taking about here, and if its too much, can I go back on my decision?"


    "Not much, a hundred karma, and yes if you chooses you can go back. Plus you wont be paying the price for returning."


    "Just to be clear just how many worlds do I have access too with the amount of karma I have."


    The goddess pause for a moment as she puzzle out his question, in theory he had access to all the worlds, then she smirk as she realise the hidden meaning to his question.


    "Are you perhaps wondering on how many worlds, could you upgrade your self with your karma into getting something good?"


    "Er, yeah kind of, since I want to go somewere else, but you did mention upgrades earlier. So if I go too a new world, I would no doubt need that karma in order to get me something good."


    "If I had to say, most of the fictional worlds you could get something good. A few of the magic one you''ll only be able to buy the bare minimum for elite ability. As for the more tech advance worlds you''ll have enought to live a interesting life."


    "Wait fictional as in Naruto, One Piece, DC comic or Marvel?"


    A big smile was plaster on the goddess face as she practically beam down on him in pride.


    "Yes, all that and more."


    If the soul had a troath it would have one of those loud gasp of air.


    "Hhhhhooowww, much for keeping my memory in one of those worlds."


    "Hum, it depends, in some the price would be higher since a passive mental barrier would come with it."


    "Say the Marvel universe how much?"


    "Well, that one of the more universal price ones, since that world isn''t a stranger too supernatural powers. So it would cost a thousand karma, keep in mind pre knowledge of the world is a powerful tool. The barrier is strong enought to block out telepath as powerful as Charles, without him using his shiny helmet. Also you would also be protected from any being consider at certain power level. In sensing you at your birth fromany of their wide sweep spells or other methods of sensing. Only by being right infront of them would they even notice how odd you are."


    The soul remain silent in contemplation for a few moments. Thinking over all the pros and cons, he finally came to a conclusion.


    "Before taking my final choices is it possible in learning if my plan and ability are all possible?"


    "Of course, I will even point out if your missing something, or if an option isn''t viable by providing the reason or an alternative."


    "Ok, so for the transfer Il go for the Marvel universe."


    "Any particular time or universe?"


    "Right, hmm perhaps, yeah lets go with that. Have me being born around the same time as Tony Stark. As for the universe, can it be a mix?"


    "Yes it can, but you must understand, what you are asking will send you into a different time line. So your basic info on the people will be correct, just not exactly accurate. Example would be which version of Mystique would you meet, one of the movie vers or one of the many comic vers, even perhaps a mix of both or other version."


    "What about the over all plot? Can I chose which general plot or is it difficult to do so?"


    The Goddess nodded her head in approval. "Like you have just said, I could send you into a world were the general Marvel movie vers plot line goes on, but the storie line will have a bunch of new develepment. So at its core you will be able to find your way, but the details will change in a way that your life will be as predictable as it was before. Even knowing what one individual life was or could potentially be, will only take you so far, as the reality as you know it will be alter by the very fact that you exist."If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    "So that means even if I keep my memory they will only carry me so far, the rest is all on me."


    "Exactly, you have to understand even if I send you to a world were you ask for the story to remain true to its fictional base. The very fact that you will interact with the people in that world will have some impact, either on a small or large scale."


    "Wait, leaving my new life aside. How the hell is it ok for me to take my sweat time here. Shouldn''t you have like a thousand souls to process. Taking all this time out just to answer my questions and gently guide me on my next choice, seem kind of a huge waste. Don''t get me wrong, I appreciate the kids gloves I''m just confuses on the how and why?"


    The Goddess gave a sad smile and a weak chuckle. "A few billions of ages agos, a few of the divine sent souls like you in a new world. But they did it without much though or care. Well long story short, some of those souls manage to gain divinity. Climing up the ladder of power they finally took the seat of power. Once there they change the whole process in how other Gods and Goddess interacted with mortals. As for how, I have so much time for you, well Im a goddess, I have ways to interact with not just you, but with thousand of other souls at the same time. If you ever manage to reach my level you will understand. Until then there really is no point in knowing, since you need divinity to even begin to try and do what I do."


    "How?"


    "Trust me its better to drop this and concentrate on your new life."


    The soul took a moment too process this new information, he came to the conclusion that no doubt the Goddess was right. What she was doing was so far beyond what he could understand, it really was pointless dwelling on it.


    "Right, back to my new life, so to recap. One, change of worlds from earth to Marvel earth. Two, keep my memory of this life and get mental barrier. Hm, three can I get my hands on the Darhold?"


    The Goddess raise one eyebrow in surprise. "No, that piece of power is extremly volatile. Beside at the point in time you''ll be going to, its in the hands of the ancient one. Nor will I make a copie of that thing, beside you''ve seen the show. At your level it will corrupt you in a matter of hours, so no I''m not going to give you something like that."


    "Okay how about a version without all the darkness, like for a beginner and higher in the art of magic?"


    "What your asking sound a great deal like a personal grimoire. Is that what you want?"


    "Yeah is it possible to get one."


    "Well by this is it safe to say you want to go the magic root in the marvel vers."


    "Yep."


    "Well let put the grimoire aside for now, do you want to be natural infuse with magic or artificially created."


    "Any particular pros and cons on either?"


    "With natural, it will be slow going but the upside is that you''ll only be limited by your determination and will power. As in artificial you''ll get a powerful boost right off the bat, but your long term growth will be block. At least on the magic side of things."


    "Kind of like the tortoise and the hare story. One is slow but steady, the other quick power but stump growth."


    "If you pick natural, I could make it so you are born into a mage family. As for the artificial well you might have to wait a few years, all depending on your actions."


    The soul floated in circle as it ponders which to pick. "Il take natural, beside you said it before, getting other ability isn''t impossible, right?"


    "Correct, in that world the possibility are well, staggering in the pursuit of power."


    "That will be another thousand karma for the mage natural bloodline, and another five hundred for a personnal grimoire. The price of the grimoire was originaly five thousand karma, but since you''ll be born inside a mage family. Access to it will be much easier, the points I''m picking off you is in order to give you a better and more compete version of the grimoire you will receive."


    The soul nodded his none existing head. He calculated that he still had about 3180 karma left. "Can I get anything good for my remaining karma?"


    "You can, but it depend, you could give yourself more power or better physic. But do keep in mind they will only make your life easier in training and every day life."


    Suddenly the soul realize something."Hey when Im born Im I a boy or a girl?"


    The Goddess had a mischevous smirk as she tried to hide her giggles. "Well that is up to nature, but if you wish to insure your sex then that will be a hundred karma."


    The soul was swearing inside, no doubt not many took the time to ask this question or forgot about it. He came to realise this was no doubt what happens when an mc would go threw with this process and forgot to check this part.


    "Fine, another hundred on my tab in order for me to be born male." The soul felt like it was cheated out of something.


    The Goddess had a small pout but still did what he ask. It was a shame she enjoyed when ever a soul keep their memory but forgot too check this part. Watching their reaction in finding out they are victims of gender bending always had her laughting to tears.


    "Do I have enough for a inventory like in the games?"


    "Not even close, those thing are a hell of convenient. Nor do you have enough for any equipment with anything close too those function. But on the flip side the grimoire you will get has the method in making artifact that work just like that inventory. Be warn, getting yours hands of the material you will need in making that artifact wont be easy."


    "Is their any bonus for keeping any karma?"


    "Well if you keep a little on reserve, you''re life will be a little more lucky then others. But if you keep it at the number you will have after all your purchase. Then life will get very exciting, enemy will go out of their way in order to pick a fight with you. Troublesome situation will find you if you try to live a quiet life, alot of anime or comic tromp will pop out around you."


    "Ok how much do I need just for the lucky aspect?"


    "For you, plus including the marvel world madcaps. About 500 will do, anything less and you don''t get anything, any more and well trouble will just seem to seek you out."


    "Does that give me MC plot armor aura?"


    "Nope, if you wanted that you need about 1,000,000,000,000 karma point in reserve. What you get is a piece of mind that your life won''t start off with dying parents or any bad thing happening during your childhood and teen years. Giving you time to growwithout having to deal with any life crushing issue. But as soon as you come into your power, life will knock on your door in a bad way. If you decide not to interact with the world. So plan for your future, get involve don''t hide away."


    "Should I get a mutant power?"


    "You can if you want, just keep in mind whatever you choose it will be expensive. You already have a magic bloodline, getting a mutant power on top of that will burn out the rest of your karma. Also the powers you get to choses will be on the weaker side."


    "What about healing factor like wolverine or at the very least a less powerful version?"


    "No can do, the best I could offer is a better immunity to the common cold virus also this will not evolve or grow into a better version in time."


    "Fine so how much too increase my basic stats, like intelligence, strength, agility and all the other?"


    "Well you already upgrade your luck potential to ten. Every upgrade will costs a hundred karma, as for what they are. Its inteligence, wisdom, constitution, strength, agility and charisma. Just so you understand everyone can reach a basic of five in all stats. But only special individual like mutant or humains who break their limit can have higher stats."


    "You know it sounds a lot like fallou...."


    "Shhhhhhhhh! Don''t say it! Yes it very similar like that and other games. The short answer is that it makes it very convenient. Now like I was saying, the average stats are five but you could train yourself up. It will take time and effort. You yourself will have an advantage in simply being from a mage bloodline some of your stats will be higher. I can also make it so that you get the points place in reserve until you spend them later in life. But keep in mind by sixteen you''ll need to place all your point or else they will be send back to me."


    "That still leaves me with 80 point over the limit, any advise?"


    The goddess had a new smirk, with a sparkle in her eyes. "Well with it, you could buy in for a nice size manhood." Her predatory grin spread accross her face.


    A groan escape the soul, as he had the feeling of wanting to smack his head in a wall. "Fine, you win get that for me as well."


    The Goddess laught in a almost flirting way. "Well that about cover it, are you satisfide with your choise?"


    "Yeah, Im good."


    "Well then have a nice new life, goodbye!"


    The Goddess slam down on her desk on a files. Light brighten the room, once the light were gone the soul was nowhere to be seen. The goddess smiled at the memory, this soul had been one of the easy one, she hope he would be happy in his next life. Turning to the door, she took a breath.


    "Send in the next one."
