Chapter 1: [Chapter—1]
It all started with a bang.
No, literally it all started with a fucking bomb exploding on my face as I had been visiting a foreign country that had been at war with a neighboring one.
Not how I thought my death would go, this was only compensated by the fact that I had been balls deep inside this one milf's pussy after I had used her daughter as a flashlight though.
One of my greatest lay's yet.
Next came a sudden clarity after what felt like my brain had been swimming in mud, then light.
[—Ding! You've been reincarnated into the World: Marvel— A Mutants Ascension.]
And also a screen.
A screen I immediately understood was from a system, one of those overpowered systems that made normal humans gods among man.
But there was of course a slight problem, I was strapped in a metal bed with little to no movement allowed for me.
" W-what the fuck?" I muttered with a frown not being able to move my head to see where I was.
" Ah! You're awake! That's great!" I heard a female voice behind me say before they walked just beside me, enough for me to see her.
A woman I did not recognize was staring at me with a grin, a scalpel on her hand which was gloved with red stains on it, her gloves and her white coat.
" Wh-who the fuck are you?" I muttered slightly panicking." Where the fuck am I?"
I wasn't stupid, I knew that something was wrong and that I was possibly about to die again. That in itself pissed me off, I was about to die after being reincarnated, given a second chance just for it to be snatched right out of my hands.
That wasn't how I remembered these things going, shouldn't I have been given a grace period to grow stronger? I had fucking system for crying out loud!
" Ah such foul language, but to answer your questions." The Doctor looking at me with a mad raving in her eyes started." I'm the doctor that will fix you and as for where you are? That's not important."
And with that, she lowered her scalpel down to my chest, which I now realized was bare to the world without cloth to hide.
I felt my heart immediately catch up to speed as my mind started formulating ridiculous to outright stupid plans for escape even as the scalpel touched my skin, next was a searing pain that had me screaming at the top of my lungs as the doctor cut a line straight in the middle of my chest.
The pain was like a pounding headache that didn't cease no go away as I felt my nerves sending pain receptors into my brain only causing me to scream more.
It was while doing as I felt the doctor continue cutting through my flesh and into my bones that I suddenly had an idea.
I had a system, didn't I? Couldn't I get something from it that would allow me to walk away from this alive?
Immediately I delved deep into my mind and conjured it out with a simple and wavering thought.
'Status!'
[—Ding! You've accessed The Serial Reincarnation System!
—This system is designed for those who are destined for calamities that will bring death to all those around them and them if they are too weak to fight it.
This system unlike most does not grant their user a certain safety net in the form of 'Plot armor', the user will die, countless times too and in doing so they may amass power, knowledge and more if they are worthy.
— The system with each life started will grant the User a blessing, these blessings can range from anything, from an increase in cooking aptitude to magical talent it's all possible.
The user can only have one Blessing in each life so they may choose to thrash their blessings for different ones each life if they find ones they fancy.
They also can keep a maximum of 5 Skills they learn and pass them on to the next life for an easier life playthrough.
They also may keep 2 abilities, if they have them in the first place and transfer them over to the next life.
—The user will also have the chance at every end of their life to have their life evaluated and gifted an appropriate reward that they may use to further grow in their infinite lifetimes.
—For further information, thread the system yourself.]
The information flowed through my mind and immediately I understood, that I was gonna die.
My system wouldn't give me anything to help me because my death wouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things, for I would still live again and again until I either broke or rose above the very system inside of me.
That realization caused the pain to slightly recede for a moment, that or I was finally dying.

My eyes darted through the screen in slight panic, the fact that even if I died I would be reincarnated having soothed my deeper fears of death but I still didn't want to die.
The first thing I noticed was my blessing, I immediately scrolled through that not having any hope at all for its use. I mean what would that be useful for in my predicament? Clean myself out of here?
Next was my ability, I already understood that I was in the Marvel universe but which universe was beyond me and the fact that it had a title was confusing.
I mean what was 'Marvel— A Mutants Ascension?' it all sounded like a fanfiction title for me.
So grasping at the last straws of my life I looked at the ability and out of sheer will I thought of using it, I didn't even think about what I wanted to siphon in the first place but made sure that it was directed at the mad doctor cutting away at me.
And like a switch it happened, I felt it as clear as day as something in me leaped out and latched into the doctor and due to his contact with me it was easy to do so.
Latching on to whatever I could I then let my ability instinctively control me as I then tugged at something and watched as something from the doctor was siphoned out of him.
" Huh? What th—?! Arghhhh!?!" He wasn't able to finish his words and instead let out a guttural scream as his skin shrunk, meat disappearing as he was mummified in real-time.
I couldn't savor the pleasure of my actions though as I felt that the well I had been drawing into using my ability was depleted and the doctor fell on the floor, gaunt and unmoving simply letting out whimpers.

I did not have the time to look at the pop-up screens in my vision before my consciousness wavered and broke.
Then I was in the dark abyss, simply floating in a sort of soul form.
[—You Died!]
" Fuck...." Was my only reaction to that.
