After I woke up, I found myself in a pretty familiar situation.
I looked around, rubbing my temples. "Did I die again?"
A deep, familiar voice echoed around me.
Void: "No, my boy, you didn't. I just summoned your consciousness here."
I sighed. "So… now what?"
Void: "Well, since you've completed your first mission, I've unlocked your Multiverse Travel ability. You can now travel to any world of your choosing."
I blinked, surprised.
"Wait… seriously?"
Void: "Yes. But let me warn you—don't go to any high-risk worlds like Dragon Ball Z or High School DxD."
"Why not?"
Void: "The moderators of those worlds are currently… angry."
I frowned. "Angry? Why?"
Void: "That's not for you to worry about. Just avoid high-risk worlds for now."
I scratched my head, trying to make sense of it.
"… Does that mean Marvel is a low-risk world?"
Void: "No, you moron! Marvel is a super high-risk world. But its moderator is kind and, well… bored. He let you in hoping for some entertainment. That's the only reason you were allowed to enter."
I felt a chill run down my spine.
"So I was basically invited to be a clown for the moderator's amusement?"
Void: "Pretty much." The Void chuckled. "My personal suggestion? Don't leave Marvel just yet. Explore the world and grow stronger before you start jumping into other worlds."
I crossed my arms. "Any specific reason?"
Void: "Yes. Stay there at least until after the Thanos finger-snapping event. You can leave earlier if you wish, but that's my advice."
I sighed again.
"Fine. Anything else?"
Void: "Not for now. Off you go."
And with that, my consciousness returned to my body.
I woke up in Hela's realm, groaning in pain.
My body felt like it had been run over by a bulldozer.
I sat up slowly, rubbing my head, when suddenly a sharp pain struck.
It felt like thousands of symbols were forcefully embedding themselves into my mind.
The pain lasted for what felt like an eternity. But when it finally stopped, I realized something incredible.
I knew those symbols.
They were runes — ancient, powerful runes that could shape reality itself.
I muttered to myself, testing my newfound knowledge.
"Increase gravity."
The rune glowed faintly in my mind, and I could feel the gravitational pull around me increase slightly.
It worked.
These runes were like a coding language for reality.
With them, I could manipulate fire, water, light, gravity…
Anything.
Before I could delve deeper into my thoughts, a familiar ding interrupted me.
Ding!
Congratulations, host! You have completed your first mainline mission.
Reward: Ownership of a Blank Dimension.
Reward: 1x Dimension Door Key (One-Time Use).
I stared at the screen in shock.
"A dimension? I own a dimension now?"
I took a deep breath, trying to process everything.
"Okay. I'll check that out later. First… let's see how Hela is doing."
I made my way to Hela's chamber.
When I opened the door, I found her fast asleep… on the floor.
"… Seriously?" I muttered.
As a gentleman, I carefully picked her up.
She was surprisingly light for someone so powerful.
I walked over to her bed to lay her down, but just as I was about to place her on the mattress, her eyes fluttered open.
Her gaze locked onto mine, and suddenly Odin's words echoed in my mind:
"Take care of my daughter."
I froze.
"Oh, shit."
