Marcus POV
Let's see what the system does. I selected the option of Multiverse Travel for further details
[Multiverse Travel]
[Travel- List of universe.]
[Marvel Universe- Main World] Time flow on this universe
[Previous Universe- Original World (Locked)] 4320x time flow
[Unlocking new universe requires 1,000,000 EP]
[Shop]
[Shop allow the host to spend EP(Energy Points) for purchasing things.]
[Core Creation]
[Allows creation of core based on specific energy. Core uses the energy available for expansion or improvement of the core.]
I created energy core of four energy available with me that is Aura, Psychic, Spiritual, and Magical energy. Energy core powers were directly used to improve the energy source to the limit and then to improve the storage of the energy to the limit as well. Usually I generate around 100 EP on daily basis. Apparently due to my age my powers couldn't develop to their limit which is fine with me.
Aunt Sophia, despite her own beginnings as an orphan, worked her way up to become a successful lawyer. She's been the backbone of my company, managing everything with an almost effortless grace. She was volunteering at Wool's Orphanage when I was found, and she played a crucial role in my early success, especially when it came to publishing my first books.
Books that are published are the books are purchased through Shop and they Transformers, Cars, Kung fu panda, Puss in Boots, Hotel Transylvania . I started small by publishing novels far lesser-known titles from my previous life. I kept churning out books, gradually catching the eye of larger companies. Eventually, I struck deals with one of the biggest publishing giants, with a 1% stake in there company in exchange for publishing my works under their banner.
This strategy gave me both connections and support in the industry. The best part? I retained ownership of the intellectual property, so the royalties flowed directly to me, leaving little to worry about. I felt a lot guilt for copying so bluntly so I decided to contribute 10% of earnings to run a charity for poor or orphan kids to provide them food, clothing, shelter, education and health care and help people in need.
One of my boldest moves was purchasing DC Comics during their downturn, caused by a series of poorly received movies.By doing research I knew how to revitalize the brand by adapting my own books into comics, targeting a younger audience. Later focused on making animated series and movies.
While all this was happening, People started to get jealous with amount of money. So, I created a best legal team possible in case of attack from the some people. This also caused me to hire guards and mercenaries to protect. I then started to venture in other companies that will be successful and invested in them before their success. I could start a company but that would be a hassle and might attract attention from unwanted people.
My reserve for EP started to increase with my age which helped me with the research. I then started to save some EP for unlocking the new universe. Later I immersed myself in formal education, focusing on various PHDs from columbia university. I was delving deep into hardware and software engineering, with a particular interest in AI and robotics fields because I know they will shape the future not just that research became easy with having more knowledge on the topics. I even purchased a robot and AI information through Shop system which boosted my speed on them.
Thanks to my psychic powers, absorbing knowledge has been relatively easy. After acquiring this mansion, I established an orphanage near here, and made it far from the city's chaos, anticipating the troubles that will arise in the near future.
The mansion's basement became my personal workshop, Similar to Tony Stark's, where I developed various AIs to assist me in tasks ranging from stock trading to novel writing, game development, and even physical training. They're not as advanced as Tony's AI Jarvis, but they've made my life considerably easier. I constantly work on improving both them and my own skills.
The heart of the workshop is the AI Development Lab. Here, I created various artificial intelligences
1. Athena: Knowledge and Strategy AI
2. Mercury : Financial and Market Analysis AI
3. Quill : Creative and Content AI
4. Aegis : Security and Defense AI
5. Prometheus : Engineering and Robotics AI
6. Medica : Biological Research and Health AI
7. Rock : Physical Training and Combat AI
8. Hermes : Communications and Networking AI
Later I created various companies and owned them. After creating the AI I started my fake account plan. Using accounts of dead people and using them to open an account in my bank. It is a tradition bank which didn't get much resistance but would have a investment bank then it might not have started. Now not in just america but in also various other countries. Got the money flowing.
Knowing the dangers of this Marvel universe, I've been training my body since childhood. Survival here requires strength, so I've studied under various martial arts experts. I've become proficient in defending and killing others all by myself. I will not going to hesitant to kill people who comes after to kill me without any reason but I will try to understand their circumstances and act accordingly.
During this period I made various investment in companies, real estate, gold and various other things and purchased a few company for toy making, animation, Game making and finally movie studios and started making animated movies, games, toys and various other things. Also, started work on renewable energy sources.
After becoming a muitle billionaire, I quickly realized that success in the Marvel Universe comes with its own set of challenges. My sudden wealth didn't go unnoticed, and soon enough, I caught the attention of people who thrive in the shadows corrupt politicians, judges, and law enforcement officers, all eager to capitalize on my newfound fortune.
To avoid attracting unnecessary trouble, I adopted a pragmatic approach: work within the system. I began paying off key figures politicians who could push the right policies, judges who could ensure favorable rulings, and police officers who could turn a blind eye when necessary. Also, promoting right people for the jobs.
However, I knew that maintaining this balance was a delicate act. The Marvel Universe is a dangerous place, and offending the wrong people, even unintentionally, could lead to catastrophic consequences. Until I could amass enough power to stand on my own, I played the game cautiously, ensuring that I stayed on the right side of those with influence.
The ultimate goal remains: to one day possess enough power that I no longer have to bow to anyone. Until then, discretion and diplomacy are my best weapons in a world where conflicts are settled with far more than just words.
