'Hmmm... '
Haruka studied the screen illuminating his face with a thoughtful expression. His mind recalled the events of the Avenger movie. Though it was surprising that he would be sent to some other fictional world, Haruka didn't ponder on it much before he began measuring how he would proceed.
The place he was sent upon selecting the option 'Enter', was a small room with a bed, a water dispenser at the side, and a washroom in the same room. The place was seemingly normal and best to think in peace.
The walls and floor were entirely white, providing a sense of peace. Though from a general perspective since Haru preferred black as the color of serenity.
Tapping his foot on the floor while leaning his back on the wall, Haru thought of the strategy he would be adapting in the proposed scenario.
The soldiers would be swarming through a hole in the sky, which meant most of them would be aerial types, creating a disadvantageous position for Haru, since all of his sword art requires him to be on a strong flat surface.
It would slow him down and also considering how there would be involvement of the main cast makes it more difficult for Haru to work freely.
"Hey, system. The world I am going to is a fake one, right?"
Since these floors exist to make Haru stronger and grant him skills according to his performance, he thought...no, he hoped that these scenarios would be nothing but an illusion.
However, his expectations were crushed by the mechanical voice of the system.
[They are real and exist in different dimensions, host. There might arise a chance for you to once again join the world temporarily for a distinct purpose so your action would greatly influence your next visit.]
"Damn..."
That made things rather complicated for him since one wrong move and the next time Haruka entered the Marvel universe, he might be seeing his wanted poster all around the place.
His Curse techniques were all based on mass destruction which might engulf those whom Haruka doesn't intend to hurt. Most importantly his Hollow Purple, the most powerful skill in his arsenal which ensure complete annihilation of whatever comes in its path would now become a reason for thousands of deaths if Haruka uses it carelessly.
During the invasion of New York, people weren't evacuated on time concluding that the same building Haruka destroys to take down a fleet might become a death penalty for several humans as well.
There was no guarantee that he would not take an innocent's life but to save his own world Haruka couldn't falter here as well. These floors of divination are everything he has to ensure that his world and the people he cares for could remain by his side.
'Well, surely I won't cause unnecessary chaos but... '
Haruka would be mindful of where he uses his skill or what his actions might implicate on the general masses but he wouldn't get too cautious either to lose the chance to gain something crucial.
"Any extra skill you will be granting system?"
He hoped so but has very less expectancy for this one since the difficulty level was already easy and considering what he would be getting as a reward would suffice to compensate for his labors.
However...
[Yes, host. During all the Floor missions you would be provided with the option of Inventory and Shop. You can barter anything in the shop to get yourself something suitable for the mission, however, the purchased items would disappear once you exit the floor.]
[Note: 1.) Only non-living things could be stored in the inventory.
2.) The storage space of Inventory is infinite, so go all out.
3.) The spoils of inventory cannot be taken to the Host's home world.
4.) Some exceptions couldn't be exchanged in the shop, for example, Infinity Stone.]
"This certainly is a lot beneficial..."
Having the option of inventory is rather interesting and convenient. Not to talk about the shop option which would work as the extra help Haruka definitely would require. He would be there for a short duration on every floor so selling whatever comes in his hand would be nothing to sweat about.
Though it would have been better if he could have taken spoils back to his world for experimentation but well...
"Any catch, system?"
[None as of now. But remember, now this floor would cease to exist even if you want to forfeit, fail or succeed to accomplish the objective. Skill would be given after the floor but please don't raise your hopes for any consolation prize if you were to fail or forfeit.]
Haruka couldn't help but smile wryly at the words of consolation prize. He never expected that, and in the first place he has no intention of losing any floor at all. He needs as many skills as he could get to achieve what he has planned.
Haruka glanced at the remaining time and found there were still twelve minutes left, but since his preparation and planning are done, he didn't waste time before straightening his back and commanding the system in a determined tone.
"Let's get this started."

[May 4, 2012]
[Manhattan, New York City.]
On top of an eighty-floored building could be seen a certain teenager wearing a blindfold around his head, currently slightly panicked due to being suddenly getting summoned on such height.
It took some time but Haruka was able to calm himself before he began watching around himself, and also had an eye on a certain building with the label 'STARK' stuck on it.
'Damn... This place seems great for a holiday... ' The first thing he thought upon getting a proper view of Manhattan was how lovely it would be to spend a peaceful holiday with Jinah here.
'Welp...let's focus for now... '
Pushing away the thoughts of honeymoon, he shot his eyes in the direction of a certain middle-aged man who was in the process of initiating the machine which harnesses the power of tesseract which currently was levitating the middle of the said machine and would soon create a wormhole, ensuing chaos, and war.
Haruka didn't move and just sat leisurely on the top of the building as he saw a certain tattered red and golden armored man flying toward the tower.
'I once dreamt to build that suit...' Haruka mused to himself as he recalled how he used to behave like a chuuni when he first watched the movie and just because he had created an electromagnet conductor, he began dreaming to produce his own armed legion.
The small conversation between Doctor Selvig and Tony transpired before the latter used his repulsor on the machine only to get himself shot back, throwing both, the doctor and Iron Man in the process.
Lost in choices, Tony began floating toward the helipad with his gaze fixated on a certain slim man proudly standing inside the penthouse.
Identifying the said proud figure as the bastard child of Odin, and the main antagonist of this movie as Loki, Haruka got up on his feet before he cracked his knuckles and muttered under his breath.
'It's time to screw the plot... '
