"Be like a tree, survive the rain but use it to grow"
.....
I decided to spend 60GP for the cards specific to the setting I am in.
I am in Marvel, a world of high danger and equally high levels of power.
I will gain good things, right? And powers and items from here would be easier to explain. I can't go around using a lightsaber (for now) or kamehameha.
Copyright gonna end me.
And spend 30GP on normal Gacha, giving me a total of 20 cards, and hopefully I'll get Dr. Manhattan and have an easy life. But I don't think it's possible at first. But I'll settle for Jiren or Superman. I'm not greedy.
Aah. With Gacha I can become God in an instant. Just be lucky once and Bam, Multiversal Entity. I can't help but let a smile escape. I know I'm in a dangerous world, but I have the opportunity to be super strong, actually the strongest.
The nerd and horny teenager in me also thinks about finding and summoning various characters, I can't deny it. But I won't fall into that trap, that's real life. I could die any minute, I have to take it seriously.
Maybe because it is so similar to my past, I have no problem adapting.
Now, let's spin the Gacha.
Starting with Marvel Gacha, I wish for 60GP to be consumed and the roll begins.
1. Flerken
2. Batch of Heart-shaped Herb
3. Chakra Books
4. E.D.I. Bio-Mech Suit V2.0 (Earth-1610)
5. Zeta Flight Space Station (Earth-25271)
6. Neutralizer Gun
7. Simplified Marvel Cyoa
8. Power Boost Card
9. Loki (Earth-199999/MCU)
10. Spider-Man (Miles Morales) (Earth-1610)
Nothing game breaking, but very good. I haven't become a cosmic hero, but I'm already above the street-level guys.
I won Miles, the Spider-man with the best power set. I didn't win a Franklin Richards... But Miles is one of the strongest who are not cosmic level. I already feel a little relieved.
Now let's get to the big picture. 30Gp is consumed, leaving me with Only 11Gp, which I will keep for now.
Roll the Gacha.
1. Sword of Actuation (Berserk)
2. Package: Funny Valentine (JJBA:SBR)
3. Shonen Setting Travel Ticket (Low-Tier/One-month)
4. Batman (Bruce Wayne) (DC)
5. 500 CP
6. Background Customization Card x05
7. Source of All Living Matter (Shingeki no Kyojin)
8. Shego (Kim Possible)
9. Power Boost Card
10. Made in Heaven Stand (JJBA:SO)
Well... Again nothing that will make me bitch slapping everyone, but I am already much stronger than most. I won't die in some alley apparently. So I started to analyze what I won.
"There's nothing useless" is what I thought before, but it's not quite like that. There are things that I can't use, because of momentary circumstances or because I'm unable to at the moment.
Made in Heaven, a stand that makes the user accelerate infinitely, and able to accelerate non-living things, on a universal scale being able to bring the universe to its end point and start again. But I can't use it... Because I don't have Enrico Pucci. That would be bullshit. Why can't I equip Gacha's abilities? The essence said that everything was usable...
The answer comes to me as I question in my head. Certain abilities are born of very specific, inherent things in a character. The soul, personality. So I need the character to be compatible... So if I gain zanpakutos, stands or unique abilities I need the character too.
Makes sense, at least that restriction doesn't apply to powers born of genetics or physics. Gacha will adapt my body apparently...
Hmmm... Will my skills be passed on to my children? Food for thought... but it doesn't matter now. That's a problem for the Hector of the future. I don't envy this guy, with all the threaths that are coming his way... sucker.
Going back to dealing with unique abilities, I will need the user to use stands.
Which is not a problem for Funny Valentine, since I won his complete package. Him, his stand, even his clothes (Which I will never wear, not even at gunpoint) and an American flag....
Then I will have and be able to use D4C no problem, and with no chance of rejection. By the way, these abilities usually have a touch of personality and own will(zanpakutos and stands), so the requirement for the character is to help me use them without a problem. This restriction is more for my benefit then...
And I can use something like a zanpakuto. Like a sharp katana, but I won't be able to use it Shikai and Bankai.
The Sword of Actuation I will not use either, not because I cannot, but because I am not crazy. That sword can open gaps between the real world and the astral world. And by Stan Lee's moustache, I will not use that shit in Marvel.
What kind of eldritch abominations or demons can crawl into this world if I carelessly use this fucking thing.
Until I get stronger and am used to my possessions, I will try not to cause Armageddon. There already enough people trying.
And Zeta Flight Space Station has a similar problem, the item will appear relatively close by, so I will need to be in space to have my own base in orbit. Tsc. I need a cosmic character. The resources on this space station would help me a lot, as well as not being easily accessible to others. Giving me security and privacy.
Two things that are scarce in this world. Fucking bald bastards...
In total I got 5 characters and a pet, Flerken is a kind of cat with a universe in its stomach that can eat anything, the lovecraftian monster in the form of a narcissistic animal, I'm not using it for now either, more trouble than it's worth.
Unless I want to dispose of some corpses.
Back to the 5 characters, I have to choose which ones I will assimilate and which ones I will invoke. Well, Shego is more useful summoned, right? *Cough*
I have Batman, Funny Valentine, Miles Morales and Loki from the MCU.
All are good, but I can only assimilate two at a time, and I don't know how long it takes to assimilate a character. I need to think a lot when choosing.
Apparently, the stronger it is, the longer it takes. And the difference between me and the character is a factor as well.
So I as a human wimp will take time to assimilate Loki and Miles, and I am in no hurry to assimilate both of them, because I won't be so easy to kill, thanks to the other items.
Source of All Living Matter is what gave the powers to foundress Ymir, the healing factor in itself is worth a lot, and E.D.I. Bio-Mech Suit V2.0 is what gave super strength and invulnerability to Thor in the Ultimate universe.
Having Batman's skills and D4C, sounds better to me. I have to get used to having powers, becoming an Asgardian can also bring problems. Better to go into the safe route.
I'm the kind of guy who only advances to the next stage when I can one-shot everyone there. And since I'm in Marvel, I better try not to attract attention until I can survive a nuke, or something similar.
I materialize the Source of All Living Matter card, it has the image of a transparent Hallucigenia and text saying that I will gain the powers of all the Titans, Super regeneration, will not have the Curse of Ymir and will be able to create something similar to the Paths, and it also says that if I train I can do things that were never shown in the manga.
I use it without further hesitation.
The card glows for an instant, disappears, and I feel my spine warm for a few seconds.
And then I don't feel any different.
I'm afraid I'll cut myself to test my regeneration and turn into a 300-meter titan in this residential area.
I will use the Funny Valentine card now.
After the card disappears, I feel different.
I have something I can call on. And I feel that something is changing.
I will open my Status page.

Already at 5%? I try to call D4C. A light blue ghostly figure with red details and what looks like rabbit ears emerges from my body.
"I would have sworn the details were pink" I thought to myself as I stand facing D4C.
Maybe it has adapted to me.
I wish D4C to pick up a book, and he does without hesitation. D4c was a stand with no apparent personality, and I have no problem controlling him.
I decide to do a test. I take a pen from the table, and without hesitation I stab it in my hand.
D4C hold the pen between two of his fingers, faster than I can see.
"So it's the same type of stand as Star Platinum" I can't help but speak.
Huhu
D4c it is a close-range Stand, with all its statuses at "A". And with dimension- jumping powers.
I will test it lightly, I start crouching to get under my bed. And I wish to use D4C skill.
In my vision it opens up a world of possibilities where I can reappear. Like the vacuum of space, with various entrances where I can enter to reappear, some near and some far. The condition is that it is in a place that has two objects that make something similar to a passage.
I step out from behind my study desk, between it and the wall.
I can't help but smile. I can use powers! How cool is that!!!? HaHaHa
"..."
"Hey, don't judge me! I'm just a normal teenager!" I say pointing at D4C.
Now I have an escape route and high regeneration. I can feel safer in this dangerous world.
Before assimilating Batman, I will test the Bio-Mech suit from Ultimate Thor. If it doesn't do what I expect, I will change my mind and assimilate Miles.
I take the card and materialize it, a garment that looks like a bulletproof vest with a thick belt and 6 circles of light appear in my hand and I start to put it on.
The suit should be for someone bigger than me. I watch the loose fitting suit on my naked torso. But in a moment it begins to adjust, and becomes tighter.
As if it was made for me.
Looking in the mirror I see myself. A young man of 16 year old, with curly rebellious black hair and blue dull eyes, and I am damnskinny. This outfit would looks better on someone MUCH more muscular, I notice by looking at my thin arms.
I've never considered myself handsome, but my parents are handsome so it's in the genetics somewhere, it just hasn't blossomed yet... I hope.
My father is a handome and charmig man, 188cm, light-brown skin, brown eyes, chiselled jaw, black hair that he keeps in a buzz cut and he has muscles that you wouldn't expect under that medical coat. The guy has an easy smile that can captivate anyone. I don't know how he does it, but he arrives at an unknown place, and everybody becomes his best friend before he leaves.
My mother is a beautiful woman, straight blond hair, 160cm, blue eyes that seem to glow and can make everyone like her, from how kind she can be.
And there is me. I am not tall like my father, nor do I have that healthy, tanned skin tone. My hair is curly and unruly, my eyes are blue but not sparkling like my mother's. And puberty is not being nice to me, I look awkward, pimples, a shadow of a goatee, dental braces and the development of my body is all out of place.
I sigh. "Maybe the cards will let me pick up some of the characters' looks, I wouldn't mind having Batman's muscles," but it's not my looks that I need to focus on right now.
This costume apparently enhances all my physical attributes. "Let's GO!" the circles begin to glow and I finally feel power running through my body.
My muscles haven't increased or anything like that, but I know that if I punch that wall, my fist will go through without any problems.
To confirm this I approach my bed, and lift it with one hand with no problem.
Nice.
"D4C, punch me" I say to the floating stand.
"..."
"C'mon, I know you instinctively protect me. But if Jotaro can make Star Platinum stop his heart to fool Dio, you can punch me to test my durability. But... take it easy at first...". I know I sound like a coward, but better safe than sorry.
I don't want o become a doughnut.
D4C punch me in the arm without another thought after I brace myself and... I feel nothing. I mean, I felt the punch connecting with my arm, but it didn't hurt, and it doesn't seem to have any bruises.
Huh... Neat...
That costume is awesome, with that I don't need to assimilate Miles for now, let's see what kind of changes Batman will bring me in the long run...
*Ring*
But before I can make the Batman card in my hand disappear, the telephone in the residence rings.
Annoyed by the interruption, I decide to go and settle this soon, so that I can get back to my discoveries.
"Hello, Carvalho Residence. How can I help you?"
"Hello... Hector, right? I am Christine Palmer, work with your relatives... I have bad News..." The voice on the other end begins hesitantly, before starting to speak and proceeding to turn my world upside down.
"..."
*Click*
After I finish the call I stare in shock into nothingness.
My unconscious gaze goes to the Batman card that I still have in my hand.
"This universe has a pretty twisted sense of humor, huh..." I chuckle humorlessly.
My parents are dead.
