This is an Authors note
I had a strange dream I was back in my old school in Italy.
Relius Clover was my computer teacher and taught me how to play Yu Gi Oh.
Somehow I was in detention, there was my old friend Chris and number hunter Keith.
And I was the guy who kept the cards and followed Astral's instructions to the letter.
My duel against Keit wasn't going very well, but before I could summon steal the Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon via magic to use it as XYZ material to summon Number 61: Volcasaurus, then make a move to summon a second XYZ monster, Number 6: Cronomalia Antlatis.
As I was about to win the duel or maybe lose, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is a tough enemy, I woke up.
The purpose of the duel was to impress (?) The teacher or whoever wins gets out of detention first.
Anyway, I got a kind of rule, if I write a story I don't publish it until I'm sure I want to publish it, but if I have a dream with one of the characters in my story ... I unconditionally publish that story.
My first SI Multi-Crossover in the world of Worm, it contains Relius Clover (in a way) and other Anime elements.
Let's start this story!

Prologue: I am kidnapped by Tony Stark !?
POV Narrator
In a universe quite similar to ours, on a planet almost identical to our world except for a few facts:
One, DC Comics films never existed and the film world never had to suffer or be branded for life.
Two, video games have been invented that allow people to enter a virtual world and experience it as if it were real life.
Three, Ironman didn't die when he defeated Thanos and Captain America not choosing Falcon as his hit, but his friend Backy / Soldier of the Winter.
Four is probably the most important of all, in this universe there are strange, practically omnipotent entities, which resolve their squabbles through mere mortals, Now that we know the important differences of this Alternative Earth, let's continue the story.

Somewhere in Europe, a university student between the ages of 19 and 21 has finished a very long days of study, this student has no particular characteristics, is not too beautiful or ugly, an ordinary person one of many, he will likely end up graduating from high school and getting an accountant job at a big firm and living a mediocre existence without leaving a mark on the world.
A simple and peaceful existence, something that many crave, but it is impossible for him to have it, Because this guy had the enormous misfortune of being chosen to be the pawn in some kind of cosmic game
Hearing a ring, the student pulled out his phone, a Samsung smartphone from 2013, certainly an older model, but less complicated to use and more resistant than the latest models as thin as a sheet and as fragile as glass, The student stops and looks at the smartphone screen and begins to read the message in a low voice
"Congratulations, of all the inhabitants of this world you have been chosen to complete my revenge, You are in a dream dream that allows you to have a closure before being sent to another dimension to do my will, At the end of this dream you will be forced to choose your powers as my executioner through an interface suitable for you ... "
The student stopped reading the stupid SMS, erasing it in a second, wondering what kind of idiot is making such a stupid and complicated joke.
"The most ridiculous thing in the world, I will become some kind of magical swordsman fighting demons, tomorrow I will win the superpowers lottery, then I meet Robert Downey Jr." Said the student, joking, forgetting in minutes the strange SMS.

POV Protagonist
After half an hour of walking and climbing three floors of stairs, I arrived at my armed abode, a simple apartment, it consists of a bathroom, a bedroom and a lounge / kitchen area, it is not the most luxurious or spacious place in the world, but it is enough for me to live comfortably.
I am a modest person, plus I can't afford better, not with my hobbies consuming half of my monthly funds.
Today is Friday and it is 12 pm, this means I have 2 and a half days, that is 60 hours of freedom.
For a while, I no longer have to wake up at six in the morning to get to university in time to continue the worst torture known to mankind, math classes, I have a question that all students in the world have thought at least once, why do 3 out of 4 math teachers remind you of Ceau șescu, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler or any other mentally deranged dictator?, wiping out all thoughts of school life, I threw the backpack on the living room sofa and went to my room.
The place is semi-tidy, everything is fine in its own way, although my mother would surely say otherwise, The place for a common bed, a wardrobe full of clothes, a desk, with many shelves on it.
Half the shelves are filled with books from various literal genres, some old classics, quite a few sci-fi, detective and fantasy novels, an album with my Yu-Gi-Ho card collection, plus dozens of Marvel comics featuring some popular Manga, Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, One Piece, Tokyo Ghoul etc.
On the remaining shelves there are several models of various science fiction sagas, we have Halo, Star Wars, Halo, Destiny, Blazblue and some Mecha from various Japanese Anime.
On my desk is my trusty computer, the main source of my internet addiction.
Taking off the jacket, I changed my clothes, wearing the pajamas directly, so today I didn't plan to go out or do something demanding, once I got dressed, I went to the kitchen to make myself some food, Normally the table in the kitchen is used to set the table and eat on it, but at the table it is used for one of my favorite pastimes, board games, precisely a three-dimensional wargame.
Tomorrow one of my friends is going to play a friendly match in preparation for a small tournament that will take place in a week, This three-dimensional wargame is one of the most popular, Warhammer 40,000, also known as Warhammer 40K or WH40K for short.
An entire campaign of the empire of the human is fighting with the greenskins.
Moving my gaze from the miniature warfield, I begin to prepare my spaghetti, deciding to eat them in my room, not wanting to unravel the battlefield.
XXX
I spent the rest of the day enjoying my various pastimes, but nothing lasts forever, it's late, time to shut down the computer and go to sleep.
When I started closing the computer, the hands of the clock showed that it was midnight.
I stop. A pop-up has appeared. "CYOA builder 3.3.3 Absolute"
Has anyone programmed a builder for this? I right click, go to properties. Point to a website, no downloads. I check it with Safeweb; the website has been running since May, no reports of malicious software, well then. I click it. Easier than typing everything.
The website itself is actually some kind of flash based element, multiple tabs for different parts of the CYOA, use the same gifs as backgrounds, but each feed selection appears to be a button, with a windowed worksheet on the side. Oh, wow. Someone put a lot of effort into this, It's late, I should go to sleep, but for a reason I can't explain I want to complete this CYOA.

Two beings spiral through the starry void. As they approach their chosen world, they shatter and countless fragments seed the world and is many iterations across the sea of possibilities. They find their homes in the minds of men, plant their roots in the desperate, flourish in the broken, granting their guests capabilities far beyond their fellow men. But the price of this power is their peace, a passenger in their bodies guiding them to self-destruction for their own gain.
The creatures are vast and ancient, the cycle of destruction that has continued uninterrupted since time immemorial. But all the things that start to begin, begin, begin to end. A single mistake, a tiny crack, the interference of another entity, and so the inertia of a millennial force is blocked with the death of one of the vast creatures.
But however much the cycle may have stalled, his presence still looms. His partner still lives, however lost. The seeds of the next generation have been planted, ready to grow and continue the now defunct plan, trying to reach a goal that can no longer be achieved. And so the Cycle is still looming, it is the shadow cast on the earth like the sword of Damocles ready to fall and condemn a last world before it vanishes into the abyss.
This is where you come in. A stranger has fallen into the center of it all. While the world can live without your interference, the cost would be enormous. To avoid this, you have been given power, a wild card that has never been considered by the world and is destiny. A stranger capable of changing the course of fate.
But can you survive the trials that await you, in a world choked by the weight of the machinations of creations far above them? Can you save this world of fate that has happened to so many others? Two spiraling entities in space, stars and planets of the past alike. Their parts change between sizes.
Approaching a world, one you recognize as Earth, they shatter into hundreds of millions of pieces in millions of Earths. The shattered pieces, fragments of entities, take root on empty Earths before bonding with humans. Humans at the lowest level who would continue to learn through conflict. Through this, they would advance the entity.
This time something went wrong with their period. One mistake crashes the most intelligent of entities onto a planet where, not long after, it is shot down. The fragments of the entity remain, in the hands of those who wish the death of the other entity, but things are not that easy. Even with all parahumans, those tied to the fragments of entities, working in unison, humanity would have no chance against the remaining entity in a struggle.
However, you can change it. You were lucky enough to be born into a world with an unrestricted Precog that didn't know it was; Wildbow aka John C. McCrae. Unfortunately, your entire universe is a blind spot for all Thinkers without the entity itself. Wildbow's predictions, while perfect, don't take into account the existence of your shared universe. Your shared universe is many years ahead of Earth Aleph and Bet, where 2011 is still, or even earlier.
One day a portal opened under you while you were sleeping ...
An alien with a grudge against the Entity has decided to transform you into something that can stop the destruction of your species at the hands of the entities, as had its own species, or at least ensure that the Entity is dead.
His name roughly translates to Last One.
To prevent panic he is creating a kind of lucid dream to facilitate transformation using CYOAs.

A strange coincidence, first a joke about everything is a dream to help me get superpowers, then the same thing is mentioned in this CYOA.
Coincidence or an elaborate joke ... Maybe it could be true ... no it's impossible, But to be careful we try to get as many points as possible.
XXX
Who?
Who am I talking to and who will be affected by the super-powerful alien giving you powers?.
Me (Denial)
(You are taking the CYOA, but you don't truly believe your choices will have any effect on the future. It's just a game or something to help give you ideas for a cool story. All choices apply to you.)
XXX
This is a strange CYOA work, which appears to be a combination of several CYOAs from Worms and other series, with many many many options, It will take me hours to complete this monstrous CYOA.
XXX
[God Mode, you enter with beyond measure potential, standing miles above the strongest this world champion has to offer. Few can stand up to you, even the biggest threats on Bet are just obstacles to overcome rather than insurmountable compared to the insurmountable walls that appear to your "peers". As the only mode capable of using the powers of WORLD BREAKER your eventual power will be enough to shake the earth itself.]
[Alignment: True Neutral (You don't go out of your way to break the laws, but you won't hesitate to break them if you feel it is necessary. On the other hand, you may be relaxed about the law
You're not necessarily a good person, but you're not necessarily a bad person either. You are not going to sacrifice yourself for others, but you are not going to kill them either. You can be biased on one side or the other, but not necessarily.]
[Bonus: Your morality bonus will be somewhat more effective and you are very talented when it comes to business. Whether it's negotiation, bartering, bargaining or paperwork, you are very good. However, you are slightly worse at making friends with new people. If you are True Neutral, you are much better at bluffing, although not good enough to fool everyone. People like Jack Slash or Tattletale would see you inside]
[Scenario (This is a month before Taylor Hebert, the main focus of Wildbow's visions, first debuted as Cape, an active Parahuman, and fought Lung, the Dragon of Kyushu. If you don't change anything, you're two years old, three months and thirteen days before the remaining entity attempts to commit multiversal genocide.]

I took quite a few disadvantages, enough to be hated and wanted by any criminal organization in the world, giant monster ... and Magic Girl OP / Yandere and Stalker with superpowers.
I'm a Case 53 who looks like a Monster Girl, with a masochistic and sadistic streak, which can't function without regular fights.
This earned me 300 points to spend on equipment, companions and superpowers.
● Most important items are《Legendary Grimoire》and《Legendary Magic Sword of the Magic King》
● Comrades, I have decided to take three:
A messed up, very messed up, incredibly messed up Waifu and equally powerful.
A kind of taxi driver who always finds me when I need him who can take me anywhere.
An army of submissive Clones that are scattered around the world and possess 1 / 10th of all my advantages, disadvantages and powers.
In this CYOA the powers are divided into four categories:
《Minor Powers》
《Major Powers》
《Higher Powers》
《WORLD BREAKER powers》
Normally I would start explaining each purchase to myself, the how and why of that purchase. This helps me decide if I need to make a change to the build, remove or add something, But this time I won't
XXX
Immediately after I finished CYOA, something strange happened, the computer screen started to glow, showing hundreds of images per second, a cold puff came out of the computer screen, a bad gut feeling came right after, when I have such a feeling it means only one thing my bad luck is about to strike.
Instead of seeing my computer explode in front of my face, something much more strange and surreal happened, Without warning, a kind of phantom hand made entirely of pixels came out of the screen, Before I could even scream or react in any way, this hand thing grabbed me with an iron grip.
In this absurd and crazy situation, I did the most rational thing in the world.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Screamed at the top of my voice like a little girl and almost shit your pants, Trying to maintain a bit of clarity, I grabbed the computer keyboard, wasting no time on the phantom hand that came off the screen repeatedly, After several savage hits that hurt me more than the target, I managed to get the thing loose I ran to the door as if my life depended on it, which is very likely.
Once arrived I try to open the door, but in vain, the door doesnt budge
"Shit!" I exclaimed in anger, hearing some strange noises from the screen I decided to do something a little crazy, I have a toy Jedi sword in my hands, decided to use it as an improvised mace, don't laugh, I know it's a weird thing, but I haven't found anything better.
" May the force be with me." I joked, trying to calm my nerves that are about to explode at any moment.
Using cartoon logic, I made a plan to possibly work, Computer screen has become a kind of portal, which brings out something very bad, destroy the screen, destroy the portal, save yourself, Once this is done, run without looking back, call a priest or a paranormal expert, With this plan in mind and a plastic weapon in my hands, I ran towards the bewitched or cursed screen, swinging the Jedi sword with all my physical strength.
Before I could hit the screen, dozens of phantom hands exploded from the screen, as if it were a broken dam releasing a ferocious torrent, ready to destroy everything in its path.
Not even a moment later, I was hit or rather hit in full, As a result, I was thrown straight into the wall, then luckily I landed on my bed, at least a soft landing, but that did nothing to ease the pain I feel.
My chest feels terrible as if it has been stabbed and my head is plagued with pains I have never felt before, I'm not a doctor, but I've watched enough crime movies to realize I've gained a lot of broken ribs, a ruined back and a celebratory bleeding or any other type of head damage, Before I could cry desperately to be saved, my vision turned blood red.
My heart feels heavy, I can't see anything but something or someone is coming out of the haunted screen.
In my last moment of clarity, I sense that something subtle and cutting is going straight to my heart, everything goes black ...
XXX
To a completely different I wake up and weighing of being on the verge of being killed and eaten by a monster comparable to the creatures of Lovecraft, I acted like an ordinary person.
"haaaaaas!" I screamed with all the breath in my lungs, moving my head left and right, looking around frantically, looking for the monster.
Instead of finding myself with a nightmare creature in front of me, I discovered several things:
One, most obvious of all I'm not dead.
Two, the pains are gone which means I'm high on painkillers or cured.
Three, I am no longer in my room or on planet earth.
I'm dressed in my pajamas, sitting on my bed, but I'm in an incredibly strange place, an infinite space filled with nothing but white that reminds me of the hyperbolic timechamber from Dragon ball
This is the most vivid dream I have ever had or been abducted by aliens, if the last one is true I have lost a bet and I have to give five euros to my cousin.
"You woke up, very well we can start the work." A monotonous voice said, cold and detached, which seems to come from every corner of the room, This place gets more and more bizarre with every second that passes and I don't like it at all.
"What's happening, who are you, where are we!" I shouted, wanting some answers, I'm sure it's close and I'll have a mental breakdown if things don't calm down.
"Apparently you haven't read the entire message, you humans are too frail, it seems I have to explain the situation using more classical methods." Said the disembodied voice, right after the whole post change, As if someone had changed the channel, the infinite white space has been replaced by a more familiar place, my living room.
To preserve my mental stability I have paused the voice of reason and anything related to the laws of physics that I know, I'm still dressed in my pajamas, but I'm sitting in my armchair and in front of me on the sofa is ...
"Robert Downey Jr.!" I declared out loud, coming my favorite actor who played Ironman, my favorite superhero, Too much stuff in such a short time, I don't understand anything.
" I'm dead ?" I asked, I'm not a religious person, but when I imagine heaven I don't think of such a thing.
"You're not dead, you're just in a waiting room and by the way I'm not Robert Downey Jr, I just took his likeness of your favorite actor, so you can be more comfortable." The thing that took the form of Tony Stark answered.
"Classifying myself as something is not too polite, but you are in a situation out of the ordinary, it is already a feat in itself not to have a panic attack or some sort of crisis." Said the fake Ironman, reading my mind.
'It's a dream, a dream, a dream, it must be a dream or some kind of hallucination.' I repeated this words in my mind like a mantra, as if my sanity depended on it.
"I close my eyes, count to ten, and find myself in my room ready for another perfectly normal day." I said to myself, closing my eyes and starting to count, ehen I reopened my eyes I found myself ... in a place in my living room facing Robert Downey Jr.
"Please tell me what's happening, because I'm about to collapse." I begged, there is a limited amount of weirdness a person can take before going insane, and I'm about to cross that line.
"It's not obvious enough, I'm sure you've read about similar stories, you weren't careful what you completed." Robert Downey Jr. explained by giving me all the pieces of the puzzle.
"You are a ROB!" He exclaimed aloud, understanding who or what I'm talking to, Robert Downey Jr nods with an amused smile on his face.
"CYOA is real!" I screamed for the second time, cursing myself for not getting my points better often.
"I'm the victim! I'm going to have an Isekai experience! Youre gonna send me to Taylor's world!" I screamed for the last time, completely digesting my situation.
"I can make a second try with the CYOA, I didn't try hard enough!" I begged the ROB as I throw his powers hoping for some mercy.
"You have so many disadvantages that you earn 300 points and you often have them all quite well in my opinion." The fake Robert Downey Jr answered in an indifferent tone of voice.
"When my gambling streak kicked in I used the Wildcard option 40 times !.
I dropped some Mega-OPs because it would have destroyed history.
Absolute Meta manipulation of powers, destruction of planets, absolute assimilation, adaptive superpowers, absolute symbiosis, control of the realm, Lust Magic."
I could have chosen to get Power Manipulator, OP Eidolon and become the second coming of the 40k God Emperor.
I turned down some NSFW options because I don't dare to post too lewd stuff, I missed out on a happy world full of sexy women and battle harems. I explained all the things I didn't get right.
"You d have a Waifu." Robert Downey Jr.
"A mentally messed up Waifu ... with the powers of Legend, Alexandria, Servant Ruler and Mu-12." I explained my problem to Robert Downey Jr.
"There are many positive traits, between here perverted friends and crazy parties full of booze and herbs, you will find your perverse moment for sure." Said Robert Downey Jr trying to lift my mood.
"When do we leave?" I asked, defeated, accepting my fate.
"You've already gotten there, you haven't read the CYOA, this is all a dream. I just wanted to personally wish good luck, have fun and kill Zion for me. If you do a good job I will turn you into a Planewalker and / or a Jumpchain." Robert Downey Jr said as I snap my fingers, And I wake up in a world fucked up to the tenth power.
