"Seriously guys? You dragged me into an alley to beat me up but in the end, you are the one who gets beaten by me. You know how strong I am and still, you wanted to beat me up. Use your brain idiots. I already beat you up many times. I am tired to kick your ass. Now scram!" A teenager said to 3 other teenagers who have many bruises on their body.
"Shit. I am late for work. Hope that old woman will not scold me for an entire day." He mutters and ran quickly to his workplace, a Chinese restaurant.
He works as a cleaner and clean dishes at the same time at the Chinese Restaurant. He did not complain about doing those jobs as the owner of the Chinese restaurant paid him with a good sum of money.
Plus he also sometimes become a waiter and a cashier. And that workplace grants him and to eat the folds at that restaurant without him not have to pay for the foods and drinks.
The teenager name is Brandon Turner, a 14 years old teenager who lives in an apartment at New York City.
Brandon Turner life is horrible as he got absurd by his father who is an alcoholic person who got depressed by his mother died.
His mother died when she gave birth to him. Brandon remembers how his father will curse and beat him up when he made a simple mistake but that ended when his father kills himself by hanging himself on a fan.
Brandon had to enter orphanage at the age of 7. At the orphanage, many tried to bully him but Brandon who had enough of getting beaten up by his father fight back against the bullies.
Not a single day passed without him punches and kicks other kids as they will try to bully him. The caretaker of the orphanage felt dissatisfied of his action and warned him if he ever beat the other kids again he will be kicked out of the orphanage.
Brandon ran away from the orphanage bringing all his document with him.
He then survives in the streets by lick pocketing many people. He does that only for 6 months as he saved up his money.
He then buys a room at the apartment thought he had to bribe the owner of the apartment since he did not have any guardian to sign for his living place.
BRANDON POV
"Yawn" " Why did I have school tomorrow?" He wondered as he is tired after finish doing his job.
I looked at my phone and scrolled the news only to see the news of sports, entertainment contains the celebrities scandals and economy which did not interest me.
I muttered and shut off my phone before someone stumbles against me making him and my fall to the ground.
"What the hell man?" Are your eyes blind?!" I asked him but then I see a purse in his right hand.
"Catch him!" I heard a woman shouted and the burglar tried to run.
"Oh no, you don't." I deliver a kick to his face making his nose broke and his head hit the pole.
Trails of blood can be seen dropping to the floor.
The woman arrived and quickly grabbed her purse.
She then looked at me."Thank you, young man, for knocking out this burglar."She thanked me.
"You are welcome," I replied.
She then opens her purse and took out a card.
"Here. Take this card. It will make you able to buy bread from my bakery shop at a cheaper price." She said to me.
I look at the card and is surprised that she is the owner of the bakery that I often visited since all the bread that is sold at the bakery are delicious.
"Okay," I said and we parted our ways.
"I am thirsty. Drinking Pepsi will lose my thirst." I walked to the nearby vending machine but then suddenly a crack appeared in front of the vending machine making me step backwards.
W-what the hell is that?" I wondered while feeling afraid if some alien will come out from the crack.
But then the wormhole sucks my body into the hole making me close my eyes as I already accept my fate to die.
"Ummm. You can open your eyes you know?" I heard a male voice as I open my eyes only to be greeted by the sight of an old man who is sipping a cup of noodle.
"Where the fuck am I?" I ask him as he just slurps the noodles making me annoying but then again, this guy despite his relaxing posture, has that dangerous aura around him.
I do not know many time pass as I can't him to finish to eat his food.
"Ah. That was satisfying. Now then, Brandon Turner, you may call me The One, an omnipotent being that can give you anything you want and want to send you to DC Universe."The One said to me as I blink my eyes hearing that.
"Okay," I reply making him laugh.
"You sure are interesting. Usually, many people will freak out my name and surprised hearing they will go to another universe, much less DC Universe but you remain calm. For that, you see here?" This being showed me his five fingers.
"Yes," I replied.
"How many fingers do you see?" He asks me.
"Five," I reply.
"Usually I only give someone to have a single wish where I will fulfil anything but for you whois calm and did not freak out from meeting me, I will give you 5 chances to wish for anything." He says to me making me whistle hearing that.
"Anything?" I ask him.
"Anything." He replies.
"Then can you give me superpowers?" I ask him.
"Yes. What kind of superpowers you want?" He asks me making me ponder what to choose.
"Superpowers huh? I can ask for limitless money but here am I wishing for powers? I mean who did not want to have powers in themselves? But which superpowers I want to have? Like Superman where I can lift a single plane easily or can run fast like the Flash?
"But even though I have powers, I will need to train them," I thought in my mind.
"It seems you have difficulties in choosing your wishes?" The One says to me.
"Yes. I mean if I want 75superpowers, I will need to have the time to practice and control them. Not to mention I need to create many attacks from those powers." I say to him.
"Why not ask for Instant Mastery?" He asks me.
"Nope. I rather learn how to use and control my powers with my own body with the mind to make me understand my power more." I reply.
"Hmm. Interesting answer. How about I lend my help or you to choose wishes on wanting supporters?"He says to me.
" What do you suggest?" I ask him.
"Here. I am going to show you a world identical to a world where heroes and villains exist."
A television appeared as it shows me videos of many heroes like Superman, Flash, Batman and Hawkman in the television.
Even some of the heroes have powers the same as Superman and The Flash.
And these heroes did not hesitate to kill their enemies not unlike like the heroes in my world where they spared the villains.
"What world is this?" I ask him as I swear I have seen them somewhere.
"Marvel Universe. As you see some of the heroes and villains are identical to your world heroes with villains. So what I am going to suggest is for me to implant some of Marvel Heroes or villains soul in your body where you will gain access to their powers, abilities, memories and even their suits when you wished to use their powers." He says to me making me feel awed hearing that.
"You see when I said you use their powers, your body and mind will act like the original do when they use their powers so your knowledge of their powers will increase with you maybe can create your own set of attack skills. So does this sound like a good deal?" He asks me.
"Are these okay? I mean, shouldn't other people deserve this. The good people than men, I mean." I ask him.
"That is how our life goes on Brandon. One moment you are at the top, the next moment you will be at the bottom. Besides, the crack only happens once in a century so your luck must be pretty high." One tells him.
"Fine. But tell me more about those powers you want to give me?" I ask him.
"Simple, by saying a certain word you will gain access to their powers. But there is a side effect where you must stay focus and awake since your mind will be taking over by the soul you choose. Now here is the list of Marvel souls where you can choose? So choose wisely, Brandon Turner." He says to me making me quickly look at all those Marvel souls.
Many choices I have to consider but I calm my mind as I made a plan to choose 5 Marvel souls.
First of all, is Strength, this is the most important one since I need to have a Marvel soul which contain a being that is evenly match with Superman physical strength.
Like this Hyperion, his history is the same as Superman where he is an alien, got empowered by Solar Energy where he becomes super strong like Superman which piqued my interest as I now know the visibility of Superman weakness which is the red sun radiation since Hyperion's weakness is red sun radiation.
So he is out since I am sure sooner or later, people will recognise my powers are like Superman and if any these villains or rather people who wanted to out me down, they will use the same method to put down Superman.
Of course, that is my deduction.
Moving on, the second is speed. I mean it is obvious since the Flash can run around the world in minutes or seconds. Damn it, I need to watch and read knees about him since if you can run fast, you can snap anyone neck or stab their body without them manage to react or avoid the attacks.
For example, this Quicksilver guy is like The Flash expect no lighting trail followed him. Besides his record of speed is not impressive like The Flash but who knows maybe with me having him in my soul I can run as fast as the Flash.
The third is Magic. A because I know that because a certain member of the Justice Society of America is a sorcerer or wizard, an ally a guy who can do magic skills. So yeah, I need to have a soul that us good with magic.
Fourth is Stamina. If I did not have good stamina, how can I engage fight to someone who has more stamina than me and can fight for a long time? So selecting a Marvel soul who has a great amount of stamina is a good choice for me.
The fifth is the elemental attacks. This probably because I want a character that has a long-range and close attack like a wizard does. I do not are which element but if I can use all element, that is good. Energy absorption can be listed in this section too.
The sixth probably is a character that can survive in any surfaces like in the space and underwater. I mean it would be pathetic if he lost a battle due to suffocating not be able to breathe in space and underwater. Besides, he always wanted to wander around the space.
The last one is space-time ability or other overpowered ability since this can be his trump card if he ever got cornered or when his body got injured badly. This power will be not be used often by him as he will use this as his secret weapon to finish off his opponent.
After sorting out what I wanted for 5 Marvel souls, I begin to search and select some of Marvel souls.
1st. Hulk, King Hyperion and Sentry
2.Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom and lastly Scarlet Witch.
3.Mimic, X-Man and Rogue
4.Ghost Rider and Havoc
5.Darwin, Elixir and Fury
These are the list of Marvel souls he has chosen and not time to set out which Marvel souls he created.
After a long time passes, he made a decision and chose 5 Marvel souls that benefit him.
"So here are the 5 Marvel souls I choose," I say to The One who reviewer the Marvel souls as he reveals a grin.
"Interesting choices. Okay, come closer to me." He says to me as I walked to him.
Then he taps my forehead as many knowledge enters my mind on how to use my powers and the pro-con of using these powers.
"Now as for you right now who now have powers need to tell you that you MUST NOT tell anyone about our meeting or you will face a deadly consequence. Do you understand?" He asks me as I felt the air just feel cold when he says those words.
"Second, I have granted your mind with a "wall" that protects your mind from being read. You can turn the wall on and off. No being will read your mind. Even your memory of meeting me will be sealed off.
Third, these powers belong to you so no some kind of Android or person who can copy or absorbs powers use your powers. Not even the clones if someone is stupid enough to make a clone out of from you.
Fourth, these power of yours are yours to command and use, no bad effect even though one Marvel soul has an alter ego, I have erased it.
From now on, you will forge your path. You want to become a hero. Go ahead. I will not interfere. You want to become a villain. Go ahead. I will not care. You want to rule your world. Go ahead. I will mind. Your life, you decide your own life.
Okay, enough of us chattering since I did not want any being from your world take notice of me. So goodbye and hope we can see each other again, Brandon Turner." The One says to me as I get sucked into the portal that appeared behind me.
"Thank you for those powers!" I shot at him as I manage to see him smile hearing my thanks.
"You are welcome." I heard him reply before the portal close as my body now has many orbs entering my body making me felt like being tasered and being stabbed by many iron rods in my body as I roar in pain.
I see right now I am in a blue space dimension where my body now has been filled with 5 souls that are slowly being integrated with my soul and body.
My eyes are struggling to keep open as my mind has been exhausted by how many times I spend the workout sleeping, drinking and eating.
My eyes eventually close as I feel those 5 orbs have been successfully integrated with me completely.
Starting from that day, my world will be greeted by me who has
the same strength as Superman,
fast like The Flash,
use magic like Doctor Fate,
limitless Stamina that made me able to fight for a time,
a fire attack that burns your soul directly,
and lastly, the trump card that made me be feared by my enemies.
