**POV - MARK BLAKE**
The jet arrives at the landing center, and I get off. I check my phone's clock; it's currently 5PM in New York.
The cars for my escort are already waiting for me. I head towards them.
"Take me back to my apartment," I tell the soldier driving the car.
I lean back in the car seat and call up the system. "Status," the system appears.

'Interesting, 8993 points. The cheapest base in the store costs 15,000 points. I should accumulate more points by making more containments,' I think as I observe my Exchange Points.
Thirty minutes pass, and we arrive at the building's garage. I get out of the car and head towards the elevator. I press the button for the 72nd floor and wait.
When the elevator opens, I head to my apartment. I unlock the door and step inside.
I close the door and turn on the lights in the apartment. I walk into the living room and sit on the couch.
'Now, let's check out the rewards,' I think with a smile.
I open the system and click on the packages. The package tab opens, showing a golden box. I click on it, and it opens.
[Rewards received:
- Prodigy in Martial Arts.
- Power of Flight (the stronger your body becomes, the faster you'll be able to fly).
- 450 Exchange Points.
- 350 million dollars.]
"Now I can fly," I say, trying to fly. I start floating in the air and can immediately control the direction I want to go.
I descend and check out the other rewards. 'Now I can learn to fight, I have 450 million dollars, and 450 more Exchange Points,' I think.
"Let's see the other package," I say, opening the system again and clicking on the golden chest.
[Rewards received:
- Ability to Expose a Person's Deepest Desire (to activate this ability, you must make direct eye contact with the person, similar to Lucifer Morningstar's powers).
- Hydrokinesis (the ability to generate and manipulate water, with the ability to change its physical state).
- 750 Exchange Points.
- 300 million dollars.]
"Now I can control water, how amazing!" I say happily.
I start spinning water droplets in my hand. I try changing their physical states; the droplets turn to ice, then vapor, and finally reintegrate into liquid.
'Points and money seem to vary. Interesting, maybe I'll earn more in the future,' I think, looking at the points and money.
'Asking people's desires like Lucifer will be fun, haha,' I think with a smile.
I spend 30 minutes testing my ice powers.
I try creating ice spikes for attack, and it works. 'It seems like the system gave me full control without much training,' I think, watching over ten ice spikes spinning around me.
"Let's test the martial arts," I say, picking up the phone and opening several videos of people practicing martial arts, from Karate, Kung-Fu, Krav Maga, to Jiu-Jitsu.
'I can learn almost all the basic moves. Interesting, if I work harder, I'll probably become very skilled,' I think, imitating a boxing move.
I spend another hour testing all my powers.
After an hour of training, I sit back on the couch and start thinking about Stark Industries.
"Ok, now I need to buy Stark Industries' shares. The last time I checked, the shares dropped by 50%. If I send some soldiers and hackers to investigate the shareholders and uncover something illegal, I can buy at least 20% of the company, since Tony owns at least 51% and other shareholders like Stane hold the remaining 49%," I say, making a call to one of the Foundation's Class A researchers.
"Hello, Mr. Administrator. I'm researcher Isabella. How can I assist you?" A female voice answers the phone.
"Hello, Isabella. I want our hackers to use the Foundation's satellites and find everything about Stark Industries' shareholders. I want all the information as soon as possible," I order.
"Yes, sir. It will be done," Isabella responds respectfully and hangs up.
I start researching to see if the shares have dropped any further.
"It seems they've stabilized. Currently, the company is valued at 4 billion dollars, so 20% of the shares would cost 800 million dollars," I say, analyzing the data.
'This will be a great deal, since when Tony Stark returns, the company's value will skyrocket. I estimate it will grow to a total of 20.3 billion dollars, which would mean at least a threefold return on the amount I'll invest,' I think with a malicious smile.
'But for this plan to work, I must wait for the Foundation to send the acquired data,' I think.
'In the meantime, I should get accustomed to my new powers,' I think, standing up from the couch and starting to practice my fighting abilities and control over the new powers.
===================
**Author's Note:** Did you like the new powers? I'm open to suggestions for future powers.
**Author's Note:** I wanted this chapter to be longer, but I didn't want to pad it with unnecessary words. The previous chapters were quite long compared to what I initially planned (only 500 words), but I didn't want to cut them in half because it wouldn't make sense to me.
