2 CH 2: Timeskip
Marcus woke up the next day, after sating his appetite, he had slept all night. After waking up, Marcus decided to check out the system he had asked for, but because he couldn't speak, he said "System" in his mind.
Suddenly, a blue rectangular screen appeared in front of him,
{USER/ADMINISTRATOR: Marcus Hunt
STATS:
STRENGTH: 0.01
STAMINA: 0.01
AGILITY: 0.01
DEXTERITY: 0.01
ENDURANCE: 0.01
INTELLIGENCE: 2.9
CHARISMA: 2.0
WILL: 3.0
ABILITIES: SKILL CREATION
SKILL SLOTS LEFT: 10
(You can save unused skills you are learning here. You can't make a new skill unless a slot is free.) }
"Hmm, I still don't have any reference to understand how good or bad my stats are. System, can you give me a reference for these stats?"
{ STATS:
An average human's stats will be 1.0 in every aspect. And every 0.1 increase means an increase of 10%.
So if the average human IQ is 100 and that is 1.0 that means your IQ which is 290 is 2.9.}
"Hmm, that makes sense. And I am an infant, so obviously my body's stats will be low. But can you tell me about the Skill creation ability?"
{ SKILL CREATION: The user can choose another skill as a template to make a new skill but the most basic ability of the system is integrated into this ability, meaning the user can search and learn a myriad of abilities available in the vast multiverse, only drawback being, the user must meet the prerequisite to learn the skill, which can range from stats to learning a predecessor skill before being able to learn the certain skill.}
"Oh, that's quite good. I got more than I asked for. Let's try using this skill. System, initiate skill creation."
{ CHOOSE A TEMPLATE FOR THE BASE OF CREATION:
STRENGTH INCREASE SKILL
AGILITY INCREASE SKILL
DEXTERITY INCREASE SKILL
BATTLE ORIENTED SKILL
VERSATILE SKILL
STAMINA INCREASE SKILL, .etc}
"I want to learn a skill and not create one, so, search for mind-related skills like telekinesis or telepathy."
{MIND SKILLS:
TELEKINESIS
TELEPATHY
THOUGHT PROJECTION
MIND SCRAMBLE
PSYCHIC SCREAM, etc.}
"Oh, I can learn these, that's quite awesome. Hmm, system, choose telekinesis."
{User doesn't meet the prerequisite to learn this skill. PREREQUISITE REQUIRED:
WILL: 5.0
Suggestions to increase WILL, you can learn the following skill:
MEDITATION}
"Turns out, I was being too greedy, looks like I will have to learn Meditation to increase my Will stat, and then I can learn Telekinesis or probably any mind-related skills. Alright, system, I want to learn meditation."
{How does the user want to receive the information manually, directly into the brain, or as a hard copy?}
"It's not like I can open and read a book in my state and then there are my parents, it's better to just directly transfer the information to my brain."
{Very Well, the data has been transferred.}
Marcus was ready for the debilitating pain that he read, which comes with information transfer in different novels. But that never came, instead, he felt the knowledge about how to meditate and practice meditation came directly inside his brain out of nowhere.
Marcus didn't waste any time and followed the instructions to start his Meditation, which ended once he started to feel pangs of hunger, at which point, he had to cry for his mother to come and feed him.
After 15 years…
It had been 15 years since Marcus was born in this world, August 25th, 1987 was his birthdate. At the age of 3, he found out about the world he was born into, that being the Marvel world.
Marcus was known as a genius very early on. He started reading by the age of 1, although he could speak far earlier than that, he decided to hide it and only started speaking in full sentences by 10 months old.
His parents were quite proud of him, to say the least.
His father's name was Thomas Hunt and his mother was named Elizabeth Hunt.
The Hunt couple was a millionaire as they owned a Leather and textile industry, and Marcus was their only son.
And yeah Marcus, somehow, had the same first and last name as his last life.
At the age of 10, he completed his college and enrolled in a prestigious university, where he got his Ph.D. in Engineering and Technology and also in Genetic Engineering at the age of 15.
By now, Marcus' genius was known worldwide and many articles had been written on him, many comparing him to young geniuses like Tony Stark and Reed Richards.
After finding out that he was born in the Marvel world, Marcus increased his training. He had learned a few psychic abilities like telekinesis, basic telepathy, and mind scramble. His telekinesis was strong enough to lift and throw around 10kg of weight with enough force to accelerate it to 10m/s.
So essentially, he could easily accelerate bullet-sized objects to the speed of a bullet.
Basic telepathy allowed him to read the surface thoughts of a person and mind scramble was the skill that used psychic energy to directly mess up the mind of the target, if used on a person they would be a vegetable in the worst-case scenario.
But those weren't the only things Marcus had mastered, his list of skills and abilities had grown quite a lot.
"97, 98, 99, 100." Marcus stood up after doing his daily routine of 100 pushups, 100 squats, 100 crunches, and a 10km run.
"Alright, today's workout is complete. System."

"Hm, not bad. Ki cultivation was a good choice, it made me two times stronger than an average human at 15, and I only practiced it for two years. Will I become a planet buster, if I master it? Because I am pretty sure, Krillin in Dragon Ball was a planet buster."
Thinking about it, Marcus was quite giddy, because not only he could have the ki powers, but he could also build many things to increase his power even more. It felt like his future was going to be perfect.
But that line of thought didn't last long. Marcus suddenly received a call…
"Hello, Marcus Hunt speaking…WHAT? This can't be! No no no.."
*********
p.s. His lifting power in telekinesis isn't based on his proficiency, instead proficiency just makes him better at using telekinesis as it progresses. The lifting power is based on his will stats and because a stat is hard to increase his power is that low at the start. Most espers you see are gifted with high will from the start that's why they only have to master it, but mc has increase his will and also master telekinesis and other skills alongside it.
