Suddenly finding myself in a white void with nothing but a chair and a computer in it was not how I thought would grace me after death.
Observing my surroundings allowed me to definitely conclude that I was dead as I was freaking floating for one and my body felt weightless.
And on that note I looked at my body and found that I was naked, and translucent.
' Well I'm definitely dead...' I thought to myself with a tilt of my head not really caring that much for that. ' Now why am I here?.'
And before I could think further on that, the screen of the computer suddenly turned on and seeing nothing of note or purpose aside from that I walked...floated towards the computer, sat on the chair and read through the message that had appeared.
{Welcome Mortal, you have gained a grand chance at rebirth through our company lottery roulette and as such will be given a multitude of benefits besides a new life.}
Reading through the message my first emotional response was a tilt of my head.
' That's...nice I guess?, I never won a lottery before.' I thought to myself as I clicked the '»' on the screen leading me to the next screen.
{ To start your new life, fill in the following survey!
—XLV.File-Document.000001}
Clicking on the document led me to a new screen that had a document for me to fill out.
{—Choose a system of choice:
—Pick 3 Wishes: }
Looking over the document I widened my eyes in suprise at how generous they were, a system and 3 wishes?
That was anyones wet dream so of course I had to milk the fuck out of this chance.
{—Choose a system of choice: Random.
—Pick 3 Wishes:
— I wish for the ability: Ascended Mastery—a skill that allows the user an accelerated mastery over everything he puts his focus into mastering.
— I wish for a Modified Kryptonian Bloodline with none of the weaknesses and also allow for it to be able to absorb any energy it comes in contact with.
— I wish for the Essence Of Blank.
}
Immediately after that, the screen changed.
{ Going over wishes....wishes granted! }
{Random systems drawn are— The Evil Achievement System, The Gacha System, The Debauchery System.}
' Oh?' Looking over the systems I gained I smiled, they all seemed powerful to me but before I could think further the screen suddenly changed.
{ Fusing systems into one primary system.....fusion complete!
—You've gained the following system: The Primal Evil System.
—Functions include: Status Function, Inventory Function, Achievement Reward Function, Gacha Function. }
Looking over my system I grinned and felt my conscious wavering and was able to see the screen change once more before blacking out.
{ Commencing with the reincarnation....}
______________________________________________________
Finding myself right infront of a young Charles Xavier right off the bat after getting out of that room where I had made my wishes I had to stop myself from immediately making a fool of myself.
I suddenly focused on my facial expressions and body language and found it extremely easy to do so as I feigned an aura of normalcy and calmness.
Focusing back to the man I saw that he was concentrating on someone else besides me and looking at them I had to stop a groan from escaping.
Sitting next to me was the teen Jean Grey in all her glory smiling like an idiot as she stared at Charles who now that I focused on their conversation was talking about how the institution he runs would help those gifted to control and use their gifts for good.
' Well fuck...' I thought to myself not at all worried that the mind raper infront of me would read my thoughts or anything as I knew that he couldn't.
This wasn't some blind faith in whatever put me here mind you but as I sat there I had already started assimilating the memories of the body that I now inhibited.
I was a boy named Nicholas O'ryan Star.
Weird ass name but it worked.
I was a black orphan and by this time racism was still a bitch so having my parents both bail on me to go buy milk didn't do this life's incarnation any good.
' At least in my last life I had my mother and siblings....but in this one I'm alone...' I thought not really caring mind you, I would have preferred it like this anyway.
And another thing of note was that this kid was also friends with the girl next to me, Jean Grey.
This unlikely friendship started when she had awakened her powers two months ago and found out that unlike others, she couldn't read my mind no matter how hard she tried. Now I know that at this point she didn't really have any mastery in using her powers but still that noted me in that I was basically immune to all mind fuckers courtesy of my either my physiology or my system.
And as to why I was in a meeting between a teen that shouldn't even be given permission on talking about going to a secret mutant school and Charles who even in the comics I disliked, well it was due to Jean who at some point must've told this bald fuck about my peculiarity.
So it was all Jean's fault....or the person who put me here's fault for orchestrating this entire thing.
Unlike the comics where Jean Awakened her powers at a really young age, here she awakened them at 14 and I was older than her by a year so already I knew that this world was an AU at best.
" Now young Ryan....I'm going to offer you the same off–"
" Sure I'll go." I interrupted him and saw that as soon as I said that Jean released a sigh of relief.
" Oh good then, I'll talk to your matron and will pick you up at the orphanage by tommorow evening." He said with a smile making me nod at him.
" Now if you could go pack up...I would like to speak with Jean alone and her parents." Charles said giving off that trustworthy smile.
Now a sane man would have been suspicious of that and what he wanted to do to Jean alone and tried to stay but me? fuck that noise.
Standing up I waved my hand noncommitantly to Jean who smiled and saw me walk out of the door.
' I wonder if he'll do it like in the comics and seal her powers away through mindblocks...' I thought not really caring for this body's past friend.

' Oh?...now you have me interested into doing more evil stuff.' I thought with a grin as I made my way to the orphanage.
