Void!
"How long have I been here?" I asked myself as I was lightly floating in this black void of space that also has hints of green within the mix of black and grey colors.
Well, you are a hard person to find in this vast and empty void of space.
"The fuck?" I asked in confusion as I looked on at the light blue game like screen that suddenly appeared in front of me.
Sorry for not finding you sooner but my bosses aren't known for doing things in a timely manner. I am your GM of your D.I.C.E system aka the Dimensional Imaginative Character Emulator. This system allows you to be reincarnated into a new world with the powers of a DnD and Pillars of Eternity themed gamer system which allows you almost limitless potential and ability for growth.
If you don't get yourself killed that is.
"Honestly if you can get me out of this place I couldn't care less about your bosses or what I am assuming is my new job." I said back as this was sounding a lot like a setup for an unwanted job interview.
Smart kid. You are being given a new job which can be explained later but for now let's just get you ready for your new world. First let's generate your new body.
Then suddenly I was shown a character creation screen that was nearly identical to the character creation screen from Elden Ring, and I took my sweet time making my character.
…
What's taking so fucking long?!
"I'm getting this how I wanted you dick. It's my body and I don't want it to look shitty." I said back sharply as I stopped messing around with the character screen and looked on at my new character that already had a new name attached to it.
My new name is Ken Asher and I stand at six foot three with dark brown skin, white hair done in large spikes that look identical to the hair that Yugi Moto had from the original Yu-Gi-Oh tv show but without the blonde highlights. My eyes are a sharp gold color and appearance wise I would say that a person could call me Egyptian and I have an average frame while wearing a simply black tank top and blue boxers.
Finally. Now choose your starting class. You don't get to change classes until you max out your starting class first.
[Warrior] [Rogue] [Mage]
"What kind of RPG loving fan would I be if I didn't make the obvious choice here?" I asked the screen without expecting an answer as I made my choice.
You have chosen the [Warrior] class!
Now choose a starting Talent!
[Engineering]
[Cooking]
[Gardening]
[Artificer]
[Runecrafting]
[Alchemy]
[Blacksmithing]
[Instrument Mastery]
"Well, I can choose something that benefits a mage but at the same time I want to pick something that I am comfortable with. So, with that being said I will pick something that can save me in a life-or-death situation." I said to myself as I made my choice.
You have the [Cooking] Talent!
You have gained the following skills!
[Gamers Sight, Active Lvl: 1
You have the eyes of a gamer and with this low-level scrying spell you can get basic information on anyone or any object you look at.]
[Pugilism, Active Lvl: 1
Before boxing was a television hit it was a form of deadly combat that the greeks used to brutally beat each other to death and now that knowledge is in your hands!
Passively increases Strength by 10%
Passively increases Dexterity by 11%]
[Physical Damage Resistance, Active Lvl: 1
You have taken beatings in the past and now you have toughened up to resist physical force.
You now have a 5% resistance to physical damage]
Now due to the world you are being sent to. My bosses are giving you a lucky roll for a new edition to the game system known as a mutation.
Would you like to roll the dice for a good Mutation? Y/N?
"Well, I won't say no to a free power." I said as I selected the yes button and saw a literal dice roll in front of me before it stopped on the number four.
You have gained the [Chameleon] mutation!
[Chameleon, Mutation Lvl: 1
When you focus you are able to absorb solar and lunar rays to blend into your environment or change colors]
"Not…The best." I said before a new window appeared in front of me.
Alright that is everything. Now your background has already been generated for you and let me tell you that it is a doozy despite how it might seem at first. Now you will be spawned in Queens New York on planet earth in the Marvel universe.
Let's see how your campaign unfolds.
Then just like that my vision goes dark and I fall asleep to the sensation of falling through what feels like a endless sky.
-X-
"Damn my head." I said with a groan as I wake up in a small room before memories come to my mind as I spent years in New York and recently developed a mutation which classifies me as a mutant and my not so good parents use it as an excuse to hate me more than they did previously.
They think I am a failure and made it clear that when I hit eighteen, they are kicking me out.
"Ken! Wake up and get ready for school!" My father shouted from his room as I couldn't help but roll my eyes in annoyance as I grab some clothes and make my way to the bathroom as I get myself cleaned up before I get dressed in a green T-shirt with gold triangles on it along with blue jeans and sneakers as I grabbed my backpack and placed it on my back.
Now I do have some time before school starts so I make my way downstairs and get on the family laptop before I start looking up information about the world and I obviously don't look up people like Nick Fury or Black Widow because that is just a stupid idea and soon enough, I get an idea about what kind of world I live in.
The X-men and Avengers are both active but thankfully the Avengers are in San Francisco and not here. The Fantastic Four are also active along with Spiderman and a masked man calling himself Dare Devil. I know him as a lawyer and a person I absolutely don't want to fuck with.
Some more troubling things are in this world like Hydra from the Nazi era and an anti-mutant faction known as Wild Dogs who have done some extremely fucked up things and are basically the new generation of the KKK given their outfits.
Magneto is one of the worlds most wanted criminals of course and Xavier thankfully doesn't have a mental illness like he did in the Logan movie because that movie was not only heartbreaking, but it showed just how bad things can get if life takes a wrong turn.
"I think I've got everything I need." I said to myself as I got enough information to go on and sadly despite my efforts, I found no traces of Deadpool. It sucks because Deadpool is in my top five favorite Marvel hero's and is overall awesome but than again maybe he is just laying low, or Shield is just hoarding information on him. Either way I'm not going to get my answer anytime soon.
Then suddenly I heard a massive explosion.
Quest Alert!
Name: Survive the Brotherhood
The brotherhood of Evil mutants is attacking nearby for some reason, and you need to survive the backlash because it is heading your way.
Objective 1: Escape the battlefield
Bonus Objective 1: Escape the battlefield unnoticed
Rewards: 300 EXP, 200 US Dollars!
Failure: Possible Death!
Would you like to accept this quest? Y/N?
"What kind of idiot would I be if I said no?" I asked bluntly as I accepted the quest and I quickly went to warn my parents but before I could the house wall suddenly caved in along with half the house as I was sent back onto my behind and as I got up I looked and saw that half the house was gone and in the rubble of the house was my parents as they were crushed with hands coming out of the rubble but the hands were limp and lifeless.
The being responsible for this was none other than the mutant known as Juggernaut and just like in the comics he is as big as the Hulk and is sporting his crimson…Clothes…Armor…Whatever it is.
I honestly don't care because his fat ass just killed my parents. Granted I hated them for how they treated me, and they hated me, but they were still my only family in this world, and he took them away, but I also know he can squash me like a bug, so I don't try to fight him as he causally looks over the destruction he caused by running into the house before he looks at me as I basically froze when he saw me.
"Magneto, I found the kid!" Juggernaut shouted loud enough to cause a damn earthquake and while I was covering my ears from how loud he was I somehow didn't notice him come near me as he literally picked me up with a single hand and started walking me outside as I saw that several houses were destroyed and dead bodies on the ground as Wild Dog members with high tech equipment were dead and a few mutants died as well or at least I am assuming these dead people are mutants.
"You must be Ken Asher." A calm voice said as I saw the red clad man known as Magneto himself come down from the air with his cloak flowing in the wind and helmet firmly on his head. "We've had a hard time finding you." Magneto said to me which completely threw me through a loop.
"Why the fuck are you looking for me?" I asked him sharply with an angry look on my face since this entire situation is honestly pissing me off.
"Well, a powerful mutant has her eyes on you and wishes to meet you in person since the two of you apparently have history." Magneto explained.
"I don't know anyone who would team up with a wanted terrorist like you. And on top of that I don't believe anything you're saying." I told him as Magneto isn't a too bad of a character but his way of doing things isn't for me.
"Understandable but we have plenty of time to explain things when you meet Selene in person." Magneto said calmly as that made me internally shiver with fear.
'Why the fuck would a godlike mutant like the Black Queen want to meet me?' I asked myself mentally before I was suddenly dropped to the ground when the Juggernaut was sent flying forward thanks to a powerful bright red beam as I quickly stand up and turn around to see X-men members.
Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Gambit and…No way…Standing in front of the group with her hands over her visor that covered her eyes is what I can only assume is a gender bent version of Scott Summers.
Also I can't say that she doesn't cut a good figure as a girl because she does look pretty good as they are all wearing black and yellow X-men uniforms instead of the uniforms iconic to each of their characters and before I could say anything Nightcrawler teleported away and I suddenly felt hands on my shoulders.
"Hold on friend." Nightcrawler said before I experienced what teleportation felt like and soon reappeared behind the group of X-men.
Also, teleportation doesn't feel as bad as you think it would. It felt quite nice in fact.
"Are you alright kid?" Wolverine asked me as he glanced over at me.
"Yeah, I'm fine but extremely confused and pissed off." I said honestly as I saw the Juggernaut slowly get up to his feet.
"Nightcrawler get him out of here now." The female version of Scott said as she blasted Magneto this time, but the beam was ineffective as Magneto had put up a magnetic barrier around himself.
"Got it." Nightcrawler said as he grabbed me and started teleporting me again and again every couple of blocks until we stopped at a park nearby where I saw a massive black jet parked in the center of the park and waiting in front of the opened jet door was none other than Professor Xavier himself in what looks like a steel wheelchair.
"Hello Ken. I'm happy to see that you aren't hurt." Xavier said to me as Nightcrawler, and I walked up to him.
"My parents are dead, and some mutant woman hired a terrorist to try and find me so with all due respect I am feeling extremely hurt right now." I told him bluntly.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I wouldn't have thought that Magneto would resort to such methods to find you." Xavier said honestly as I just sighed.
"Are those X-men members going to be, okay?" I asked as I didn't want to see any x men be killed.
"The local police forces are on their way, and I have faith in them. Or you can simply turn around and see them coming back this way now." Xavier said with a smile as I turned around and saw the team walking up to us and with a closer look without the stressful situation adding to my emotions, I can firmly say that Gambit and Wolverine are grown men while Jean, female Scott and Nightcrawler are teens like me.
"You shouldn't go worrying about us kid. Where trained to fight people like Magneto and his goons." Gambit said jokingly as he was shuffling a deck of cards in his hands.
"I'll keep that in mind." I said back in a low voice.
"Sorry to cut to the chase here but why was the brother hood after you?" Female Scott asked as she walked up to me, and I couldn't tell if she was trying to give me a suspicious look or not since she has the visor thing covering her eyes.
"Ease up Samantha. The guy's been through enough hell as it is." Wolverine said as he walked past us and got into the jet.
"Everything can be explained later. For now, we need to take Ken somewhere safe." Xavier said wisely as 'Samantha' simply walked past me and got into the jet as well without saying anything else to me.
Now I didn't complain or anything as we all got into the jet where I saw Beast himself in all his blue fur piloting the jet alongside Xavier as the trip on the jet was rather short and soon enough we landed at the X-mansion aka Xavier's school for gifted youngsters where I tell them about why Magneto wanted me as I sat in Xavier's office as Xavier, Beast and Wolverine were the only one's aloud to hear this since I didn't want to tell the others.
Now it isn't that I don't trust them, but it is more like I don't want them to learn about a powerful mutant that can one-shot them unless they are ready to face her and frankly these three have the minds and experience to hopefully handle her.
"The black queen of Hellfire. Why the fuck would she want to meet you?" Wolverine asked me bluntly.
"Easy Logan. He already told us everything he knows." Beast aka Hank said as I should start thinking about them as people instead of their heroic identities.
"Still, this is quite the problem. Selene isn't an ordinary mutant and doesn't act recklessly. She must have some type of plan that we don't know about." Xavier said as he put his hand on his chin in thought.
"She sounds like a pain." I said bluntly as I faked my ignorance of her and thankfully I could because I had a skill known as 'Gamers Mind' apparently as it flared to life when Xavier tried to read my mind which means that I can hold all my meta info inside my head without worrying about a mind reader finding it.
"That is a nice way to put it. Now Ken you have been through a tough ordeal and with the loss of your parents and no next of kin available to take you I want you to stay here where we can protect you and keep you safe." Xavier said with clear concern in his voice as he did want to help me.
"I'm not a coward. If this woman wants me, I'm going to tell her to piss off." I said boldly as I crossed my arms as Logan chuckled.
"You got guts kid. I'll give you that." Logan said as I tried not to let that compliment go to my head.
"Ken, I don't think you understand just how much danger you are in." Hank said as I sighed.
"Fine. If you can figure out how to transfer my school information and stuff than I'll stay but only if you guys help me learn how to defend myself against this woman since I doubt that she is the type to give up." I told Xavier as he did think about what I said for a moment.
"Given the unique circumstances I will allow you to at least train with the other X-men and X-men in training but this is a probationary situation and when Selene is dealt with the training will come to an end." Xavier said and honestly that is more than fair since he can't just let some random mutant become a X-men.
"I understand." I told him.
"Good. Now I will handle your schooling situation and talk with your principal at Midtown High but in the meantime, I want you to get used to things here. Now one X-men in training will be showing you to an available room here." Xavier said and soon enough someone started knocking on the door of this office.
Then coming into the room was none other than Katherine Pryde aka Kitty and she is wearing just some causal clothes of a blue T-shirt and jean shorts with sneakers, and she has her brown hair done in its signature ponytail.
"You called for me professor?" Kitty asked.
"I did. This is Ken and I was wondering if you could show him to one of the available rooms in the student dorms." Xavier said as Kitty looked at me for a moment.
"No problem." Kitty said and just like that I stood up and was actually given a tour of the massive place before being taken to the boy dorm where I was shown a room before Kitty left me alone as I just looked over the room and let out a deep breath as I sat on the bed and thought about everything that has happened today.
Quest Complete!
Name: Survive the Brotherhood!
Rewards: 300 EXP and 200 US Dollars has been added to your inventory!
Level Up! Lvl: 1-2
"At least I got a level out of this whole experience." I said to myself as the rest of this day was rather boring and when it first got dark, I honestly just went to bed early.
-X-
[The Next Day]
"To early." I said with a groan as I was woken up by someone knocking on the door to this room I was and since I slept in my clothes I simply got up and answered the door and saw Kitty.
"Hey there. Sorry to wake you but I wanted to give some complementary goods that you might need." Kitty said as she was holding a basket of stuff and when I took it and looked inside, I saw toothbrushes and tooth paste along with some fancy looking soaps and even spare clothes as the basket was pretty big.
"Thanks." I told her as she smiled back.
"It's no problem. Logan told me about what happened during yesterday's training, and I figured you could use some of this stuff." Kitty said as that was really nice of her.
"Did you actually have all this stuff just laying around?" I asked with a light chuckle.
"The soaps and stuff where things I have but the clothes are from some of the clothes that we were going to donate to Goodwill." Kitty said back.
"Well, I get myself cleaned up and ready for the day." I said as Kitty said goodbye and left me as I went into the bathroom in my room as I cleaned myself up in the bathroom and changed clothes as I am now sporting a grey hoodie and jeans with new socks and my sneakers from yesterday as I place the soaps and stuff around the bathtub before I left my new room, and I started just wandering around the place.
Now I haven't been enrolled in this school yet, so I had a bunch of free time and I simply started looking around as the place is honestly kind of quiet.
"I have the powers of a gamer so does that mean I have a Status Sheet?" I asked before the very screen suddenly appeared in front of me.

End
"So, I didn't do anything to advance my class or talent which is something I guess I should have expected." I said to myself as I mentally thought of dismissing the screen and continued exploring the massive school and soon enough, I ended up making my way into the massive mess hall where people would eat and meet up with each other and what not.
"What are you doing here?" A new voice asked me from behind as I let out a small yelp before turning around and seeing the southern bell known as Rogue and specifically it is her X-men Evolution variant.
"Wandering around and looking for something to do. What are you doing here? And sneaking up on people I might add." I said to her as she just gave me a stoic kind of look.
"I wasn't sneaking up on you since I just got here and I'm just wandering around like you." Rogue said as I cleared my throat.
"Well, my name is Ken and it's nice to meet you." I told her as she hesitated for a moment.
"You can call me Rogue and it's nice to meet you to…I guess." Rogue said as she sounded uninterested to be honest.
"Well, is there some specific place that you feel like going to?" I asked awkwardly.
"I'm not going to some random location with a stranger." Rogue said as I took a step back at that.
"I didn't mean it like that or in some other kind of creepy way. I was just asking if there was some place you wanted to go to." I told her as she looked away for a moment.
"I'm fine being here alone." Rogue said as I pretty much got the message.
"Alright I'll leave you alone." I said as I walked out of the mess hall and started looking around at the other parts of this place while leaving Rogue alone and I did focus my powers to blend into my environment a bit as I did sneak peaks into classrooms and what not for the sake of fun and for power levelling my mutation which actually went pretty well in fact as my mutation started levelling up and I discovered that it actually doesn't drain my mana or stamina and instead I have to stop when my power causes head pains and internal pains which aren't too bad but noticeable.
Anyway, not much happened today but soon enough Xavier called me back into his office and we went over my new class schedule and what not as my classes will start tomorrow along with my X-men training.
End
A/N: Okay this is a new story I made after playing a game called Pillars of Eternity which is extremely fun and honestly, I love Marvel, so I asked myself why shouldn't I make this story.
Anyway, not much to be said other than please fav, follow and review.
