Chapter 3
The light blue screen sent him into a trance.
Unconsciously, he reached out towards it, his hands passing through it like it was merely an illusion.
He rubbed his eyes with an annoyed expression.
It was still there!
It didn't go away!
Anticipation started to build up inside of him as he considered whether he had gone crazy or not.
'System...'
He finally took the time to read what it said.
[Welcome to the CEO System.
You are now in the Marvel Universe.
The host can earn points by changing the plot, and at the same time, use those points to buy scripts, games, technology, etc.]
A bad feeling appeared in his stomach the moment he saw the part.
'Calm down!' Panicking wouldn't accomplish anything.
First focus.
How to touch it?
He reached out once more with his left hand.
This time his hand touched the blue screen and the solid feeling spread through his body.
This was real.
He quickly tried to press "Continue" to check the system out.
The door made a creaking noise as it opened and a cat walked in arrogantly.
He immediately jumped up startled by the noise and yelled at the cat who was rudely trying to get on top of a nearby nighstand.
"Nadia get out." As usual, the cat ignored him.
Reaching out, he closed the door only to then sit down for a moment in silence.
The screen had a small icon with his name on top of it.
[Current Points: 50.000]
He tried to click around and the screen suddenly went missing, which made him a little anxious.
Suddenly the screen appeared in thin air again.
His eyes widened for a second before he decided to try something.
As soon as he thought about the screen, it disappeared again.
For trial he tried to make it appear, and it appeared.
He tried it a few more times, until he found out he could control it at his will.
Suddenly the screen flashed white.
He looked at the screen which currently showed a prompt in bright letters.
[CEO System]
Looking at the bright title with a combination of several bright colors on its background.
[You can claim a beginner gift!]
[The gift will disappear if you decide to skip it.]
He looked at the screen which showed a gift box icon in disbelief.
'Open the gift!'
He almost had an intrusive though of rejecting it.
If he had ended up accidentally rejecting it, he would probably end up crying himself to sleep.
As soon as he thought of that, the box suddenly started shining as it's lid flew open and the whole box disappeared.
A new prompt appeared in front of him as he stared straight at the screen.
[Beginner Gift will be dispatched in a second]
'Huh?'
He was confused as to what was going on, as he thought of a way to make sense of the situation.
He thought about focusing on the gifts he received but no information popped up.
After trying to click on the gift several times without anything happening, he murmured to himself.
"Is this thing a joke? Wait, is it actually only gonna send me a gift?...does this system has Amazon prime same day delivery available?"
He couldn't help but momentarily wonder whether Amazon even existed in Marvel.
It would be a logistics disaster to try to do same day deliveries when some random alien race can basically appear at any point.
After the gift prompt disappeared, he decided to try it immediately.
"System."
"Give me the gift."
After Eric thought about it.
He decided to say it out loud.
And soon.
The blue screen flashed a lottery roulette and began to spin.
As the roulette turned, his mood rose and fell.
[Beginner gift:
(AI Red Queen Documentation).]
A notification sound appeared but he didn't reacted.
Not because he wasn't surprised, but because he was too surprised.
The screen suddenly flashed new words which got his mood even lower.
[System Objective: Do your first hostile takeover.]
"Huh" A small surprised sound came out of his mouth which made Nadia turn towards him in annoyance.
'How do you even do that?!?' He couldn't help but felt a little indignant.
Other transmigators go to an hentai world where their objective is to gather all the heroines.
Meanwhile he has a system that wants him to become a CEO?
Help me get girls instead Mr. System.
If you can court Ms. Marvel then literally every problem is solved.
"WHAT IS EVEN THE USE OF THIS KIND OF SYSTEM IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!"
He resisted the urge to punch the small screen in anger.
He immediately said to the system in his mind: "Where is the AI?"
The screen disappeared from his view.
A light flashed in his desk and several pieces of paper neatly arranged appeared there.
Thinking on the system's objective in the future.
A helpless smile couldn't help but form in his face.
'Well at least there's several years before Thanos even comes to Earth.' He murmured as he opened the System store.

Just looking at the first three pieces of technology, Eric felt that he had obtained a horrible system.
One million points!
This….
He only has 50.000 that came with the system...
50.000 points may sound like much but it was not that much from the prices he saw.
"System, only show me things under 50.000."

10,000 Points to redeem!

[Home Alone Script]: Script of the Famous Christmas movie Home Alone that follow the defense of a house by Kevin, a Child Psychopath.
10,000 Points to redeem!
He thought for a moment and bought the [Pokemon Game franchise].
Another light flashed in his desk and a much bigger amount of papers appeared.
He tried to think about some Pokemons and surprisingly he could think of each one of them in the Pokedex order.
Even Bellsprout's design that he always hated was on his mind.
"Let's focus on Gen 1 then."
He had to forcibly stop himself from buying the A Song of Ice and Fire book as he didn't want to spend all his System currency on that.
Art design, soundtrack, building arrangements, all of the drawings and numbers of attack were included on the papers.
Surprisingly there were no Pokemon drawings.
'Whatever, I'll do them myself.'
After sitting there for a while, he wondered what else could exist in the system.
If even something like A Song of Ice and Fire finished book can exist there then what if some of his favorite stories are just stored there waiting for someone to buy and release it.
The finished version of One Piece in both Manga and Anime.
A good version of Lost, the series.
Finding Nemo
The Grudge
All of these items are worth millions of dollars.
And now they appeared on the store.
For free.
Well no, for points.
"I need to start a plan."
First of all, securing the IP of Pokemon is necessary.
That's the future most profitable Intellectual Property in the world.
Even better than any IP Disney has or has ever bought.
Pokemon was started by 3 highschool friends who liked bugs in 1989.
After 6 years of development, it got registered in November of 1995, and launched in 1996.
Something that a lot of people don't know is that Pokemon is not owned by Nintendo, instead is owned by Gamefreak.
A company founded by an independent developer that basically only works with Nintendo.
Gamefreak is in short words a bad studio that managed to strike gold accidentally.
This statement is true even back in his time period.
Ironically, even though the creator loved bugs, Bug type ended up being the weakest (But Coolest nevertheless) Type in Pokemon.
He now needs to work fast, register everything of Pokemon here in the US and find out if Gamefreak even exist in this world.
He straightened his back with a happy smile on his face, and started drawing the starter Pokemons.
He spent 5 hours making simple sketches of the different Pokemon that appeared in Kanto.
5 hours is not long, but it is enough for him to write down some of the basics of Pokemon Fire Red and started to do some basic sketches of the Pokémon designs
After all, there's thousands of Games released every year, who says that the original Pokemon won't appear any time soon.
As long as he registers the IP before they do, then everything is fine.
Then even if they try to sue him for plagiarism then he'll just show them why the US is the best place for rich people and drag it out till they go bankrupt.
Gamefreak? Without Pokemon, they're nothing but a poor company.
And even if Nintendo gets involved then he will just launch a campaign against Nintendo through the media to smear their business in the US
