AN:- WELCOME TO MY NEW FANFIC, SOMETHING THAT I AM INTERESTED IN, THIS IS THE STORY OF THE DEVIL IN THE WORLD OF MARVEL, WHERE HE WILL INTERACT WITH VARIOUS MARVEL CHARACTERS AND FIND THEM BORING! SO WITHOUT FURTHER UDO, LETS JUMP INTO THE WORLD OF LUCIF-
Click
The door swings open, and in walks a young man in his 20s, dressed in a classic navy interview suit. He kicks off his dark brown leather shoes and strolls into the one-bedroom house, tossing his solid-colored tie aside onto the couch. Collapsing onto the cushions, he lets out a sigh.
Sigh
"Another bust. My luck isn't good these days," he mutters, having failed yet another interview. His name is Rai Adam, a young man of half-Indian, half-British descent, who was left at an orphanage by his parents. Currently, he's struggling to find a job, hindered by the requirements of experience in the business world. Despite studying business, Rai feels frustrated by the gap between theory and practical application.
"The interviewers demand experienced candidates, but colleges and schools only teach us theory, not how to apply it," Rai grumbles, feeling disheartened by the state of the industry. However, he pushes aside these thoughts and decides to spend the rest of the day lounging around. Picking up his phone, he settles in to watch something, anything, to distract himself.
Four Hours Later
With a satisfied sigh, Rai closes his laptop, having just finished bringing The Squid Games and completing Season 2.
"Damn, The Recruiter fucked himself up . Not gonna lie, glad I waited for season 2 to come rather than watching Season 1." Rai reflects, feeling pleased with his decision. Checking the time, he realizes it's late and decides to head to bed, anxiously awaiting news about the interview.
He undresses, slipping into his pajamas, revealing a moderately built physique with a balanced proportion of muscle and fat. Running a hand through his wild brown hair, he notices its unkempt growth, with strands reaching down to his neck. Settling into bed, he closes his brownish eyes, hoping for sleep, but his mind refuses to rest. Instead, he delves into his thoughts, drifting into a realm of imagined scenarios and alternate realities.
Eventually, exhaustion overtakes him, and he drifts off to sleep, his last wish before slumber enveloping him: to live an exciting life in a different world, unaware that his wish is about to come true.
[First-Person POV]
I feel weird. I don't know how or why, but I do. So, I open my eyes, trying to see in what way I am sleeping and attempting to fix my sleeping position. But that's when I realize-
darkness. Complete and utter darkness.
I finally come to full capacity of thought, realizing that I am not sleeping, and the feeling of weirdness I have is not due to my sleeping position, but due to my surroundings. I try to get up, but I don't know if I succeeded or not, because I realize that I am literally floating in an area encompassed by darkness.
I look all over the area, trying to find anything, anyone, or anything that starts with the word "any." I can't find anything. This realization makes me freak out, not knowing what to do, where the place is, and why I am here, leading to ANY normal people freaking out.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!" The screams coming out of my mouth are my only hope. Anyone, anything, someone, please help me. I continue screaming. Not knowing what my screaming will achieve, but rather not thinking about it. I scream again-
"Okay, okay, stop, dude, you are way too loud for my ears."
The entire area changes from these words. Light appears out of nowhere, and with me not expecting it, my eyes start to itch. a feeling of my Eyes burning, so I cover them, rubbing my eyes. With my mind registering the words after the input of light, I open my eyes-
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Before I can even comprehend the realization of the voice leading to nothing, I hear it. The same voice, talking to me. But it's from all around me—front, back, left-hand side, right-hand side, vertically—
you get the idea.
"Technically, I am nothing, so you can't see me."I try to check where the voice is from, but before I can even try doing it, I get cut off-
"I am all around you, so don't think much about it for now." The - NOTHING - is trying to confuse and scare me even more. I try to open my mouth to say something, anything. But no, - Mr. NOTHING - wants to cut me off again-
"You are dead, by the way. Just wanted to get that out there before you start asking me que- Why the sarcasm, bro?"
The - NOTHING - gives a bombshell of information, and then starts another conversation like the information was nothing, leaving me to deal with the fucking information that I am dead.
"What—?" And AGAIN, before I can say a word, - Mr. NOTHING - intervenes and does… something. I don't know what. Hell, I don't know if the being even did it, or it's just because of where I am, but I feel… calm.
"Yeah, I am the one who made you calm right now. Don't want to have to deal with your accepting-the-situation arc. That takes too long to write. I'm already over the required introductory word limit, and haven't even finished the chapter yet."
"I'm sorry-" I try to understand the words that are coming- well, the words I am hearing. First I am dead, then there is something about Chapters?
"I'm writing your story."
The NOTHING then drops something that breaks my sanity.
"EX-FUCKING-CUSE ME?!" My Mind-
Wait, do I even have a mind? NOTHING seems to calm my mind down once again, making me stop having ANOTHER external identity crisis again.
"You don't have a Mind in a normal sense, but you can understand what I am saying as I am intending for you to understand." the voice replies.
"Anyways, Let's get to the fun part. You're spinning two wheels: one to decide your universe, another to decide your powers." I just stare... Atleast where I am thinking Mr - NOTHING - is, trying to question everything that is going on.
"Oh yeah, let me explain from the beginning so that you can understand." Mr. -NOTHING- clears my head once again to make me calm and starts explaining where it all started, from after the big ban-
"No, not the big bang. Are you listening to me? This starts AFTER your death, FYI. You died peacefully, and nobody killed you. You were just going to the next stage, and I decided to make something out of you by the powers given to me by the web novel gods and shit." The Mr. -NOTHING- explains to me- wait a second, why the hell am I even calling him Mr. -NOTHING-?
"I don't know honestly, but anyways, here is what is gonna happen:
You are gonna be sent to a new universe, and yes, the multiverse theory is true.You are gonna spin 2 wheels to figure out your universe and the power system, since I don't wanna send you with anything and mostly because I don't wanna research too much on ways to make you competent and powerful if you do not have power.I am gonna change your memory a little bit when I send you away for your new universe since I don't wanna have your ass in an existential crisis all the time while I am writing you. Capiche?"
I...blink once again. Well, no capiche, according to you, I am supposedly a character for a chapter, meaning my life didn't matter, multi-fucking-verse is real, and I am gonna be sent there for entertainment, while having my MEMORY MESS-
Sigh
Fuck it, we ball with this.
"Sure, I'm gonna roll with this right now, so where are the wheels before I lose my mind?" I'm trying hard not to think about it, REALLY hard.
"Nice, here you go," Mr. -NOTHING- (I just decided to roll with the name at this point) pops up two enormous wheels, their sheer size dwarfing any sense of proportion I once held. One wheel is labeled "Universe," with slots containing names like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Detective Comics (DC) Universe, and many more.
The second wheel, labeled "Power System," has options like Chakra, Ki, Magic, and other equally absurd-sounding terms.
" Go ahead. Spin 'em," the voice—Mr. NOTHING - I guess—says.
"Wait, wait, hold up!" I exclaim, waving my hands in panic. I might act like an idiot now, but it is better to cover all the basis firsts.
"What happens if I don't want to spin? What happens if I just want to... stay dead, I guess?" Please don't tell me I am going to be erased because i offended-
"That's boring," Mr. NOTHING replies flatly.
"And besides, I am not offended, what am I? Karens? Oh By the way, I'm not giving you a choice. You have to spin. This is already decided by the Webnovel Gods."
I...sigh, kinda annoyed at the situation. I don't even have a chance to go out the afterlife, so I decide to-
"Fuck it, we ball" I step up to the first wheel, the Universe wheel, and give it a spin. The wheel moves impossibly fast, the names blurring into streaks of light. After what feels like an eternity, it begins to slow down.
Then it stops.
Before I can even read the result, my vision goes dark.
"Wait! I didn't see where it landed!" I yell. As I am panicking, my mind once again calms down, and for some odd reason, I have a feeling that I might be addicted to it.
"Yeah, that's intentional," Mr. NOTHING replies casually. "It'll be more fun for you to figure it out as you go. Don't worry, though. The readers already know. I made sure of that."
"The readers?! Why the hell do they gotta have—" okay, this is just unfair. Why do random people I don't know get to have information that I am not pervy to?
"Next spin!" Mr. NOTHING interrupts, and the second wheel lights up. I grumble under my breath but step forward and spin the Power System wheel. This time, I focus, watching the options as they blur by. Cursed Energy… Nen… Magic… Devil Physiology-
Wait, Devil Physiology?
The wheel slows. My heart pounds.Finally, it stops-
Since when did I have a heart? How the hell-
Before he can finish, the light around me changes, replaced by an infinite white plane. I blink, trying to adjust my eyes, and suddenly notice a massive table in front of me.
Three figures sit at the table, all three impossibly radiant in their own ways. One exudes golden light, and for some odd reason, I feel that this person is Mr - NOTHING - . The Second figure is darker, a Chubby man with a moustache and a hat. The third and final person is a normal dude, with long hair that reaches his shoulders. The table is littered with snacks—nachos, pizza, and what appears to be a-
Is that PS5?
"Yeah, that is a PS5. Anyways,Welcome, I am the One Above All, but you can call me TOAA. Less formal, more fun." the long haired dude says, his voice like a choir of angels. He raises his hand and points a peace sign.
"And I,The Presence. You can call me Yahweh. We've been best friends since… well, since before time. Nice to meet you, Rai." the Chubby man twirls his moustache, nodding towards me.
I stare at them, my mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. TOAA, as in the one who is like the God of Marvel, and The Presence, the God of DC.
"What the hell is going on here?" I finally manage to croak out.
"Well, you spun the wheels, didn't you? You're going to the Marvel Universe—Earth-69, to be specific. And you're going as the devil. Fun, right?" TOAA laughs, giving a wink towards me.
"The devil?" I repeat, dumbfounded.
"Specifically, Lucifer Morningstar," The Presence clarifies. "Though, our actual Lucifer will remain intact. You'll just inherit his title and powers for this particular universe."
'Wait, wh—'
Before I can finish my Thoughts, another figure appears. He's tall, blond hair, with strikingly sharp features that immediately makes me feel inferior. He's flipping through a book titled Existence for Dummies.
"Ah, here we go," he says lazily. "So you're the poor soul who gets to play me in some bargain-bin Marvel Universe. Lovely." He says lazily, with his British accent almost making me light-headed-
"C'mon Man, you are straight. Don't turn gay now!" The golden light sighs, as my mind once again becomes Calm. Even though my Mind is calm, the words of the Presence still is remembered by me.
"Lucifer Morningstar?" I whisper.
"The one and only," he replies with a smirk. I swear to GOD, this person is the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on-
""Yeah, can you not use our Names to swear?"' both The Presence and TOAA both speak up, mild irritation in their tone. For a milli-second, i fear for my life-
"Don't screw it up. I've got a reputation, you know." Lucifer pops to one of the bean bags laying around, sitting near the Presence. Wh-
"Don't worry," TOAA cuts in. "You'll do great. Or you won't. Either way, it'll be entertaining."
"And before you ask," The Presence adds, "Me and Lucifer don't have any fight going on, we reconciled eons ago-"
"Don't go assuming I have accepted the fact that I was created to be your Tool Old man, until I am erased from Existence, I will continue fighting you for my Free Will!" Lucifer snaps at the Presence, making me fearful. Not for Lucifer, for me, I do not want to-
Did The Presence just Eye Roll-
"Yeah, i know right? Who knew that The devil and God have a love-hate relationship." TOAA says with a grin. "Welcome to the multiverse, Now, off you go!"
"This is insan-" Before I can argue, the world dissolves around me. The last thing I hear is Lucifer's dry voice:
"Try not to embarrass me, would you?"
THE END
