Chapter 2

"Come on, push! You can do it!"

"GRAAA!"

In a hospital room in New York, a woman is in labor, accompanied by her husband, who holds her hand, the doctor, and a nurse.

"Calm down, it's almost out. Just a little more," the doctor says.

"I can see the...!" he starts to say, but suddenly stops. The couple doesn't notice, but the nurse, seeing the doctor's reaction, looks over his shoulder and is taken aback.

She looks at the doctor, asking what to do. He notices her expression and says,

"Let's continue with the procedure normally."

After about an hour of labor, the sound of a baby crying fills the room.

"Congratulations, it's a girl…" says the doctor, his tone lacking the usual joy of such an event. The parents, excited, barely notice.

The nurse quickly cleans the baby and wraps her in a blanket before handing her to the doctor, who has a complex expression. Upon noticing this, the parents lose some of their excitement, their faces now showing concern.

With one last look at the newborn, the doctor says,

"No matter what happens, remember she is your daughter." His words resonate ominously as he places the girl in her mother's arms, who, along with her husband, can only open their eyes in surprise and horror at the sight of their daughter.

"What… what happened to her?!", the father asks in horror, while his wife remains in shock.

"… We believe she is a mutant."

...

"HOW CAN YOU CALL HER A MONSTER? SHE IS YOUR DAUGHTER!"

"THAT MONSTER YOU GAVE BIRTH TO IS NOT MY DAUGHTER!" the man shouts as he gathers his belongings.

They were back home in a nice house on the outskirts of New York. Generally, both the woman and the baby should have spent more time in the hospital, but due to their... situation, the doctor thought it was better for them to leave early.

"I am not the father of that thing!" he said, looking at the woman who was crying while holding her daughter.

"YOU MUST HAVE BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO A DAMNED DEMON, YOU DAMN BITCH!"

"I NEVER CHEATED ON YOU!"

"THEN WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE THAT?!" he said, pointing to the crying baby, with six horns protruding from her head, purple scales covering almost her entire body, and in the areas not covered, skin that was too pale for a living being, along with a purple gem on her forehead that matched her eyes.

"SHE IS NOT A MONSTER; SHE IS YOUR DAUGHTER, OUR DAUGHTER!"

"No… that thing is just your daughter," he said while closing the door, leaving his freshly delivered wife and newborn daughter crying on the floor.

…

Five years later

"Mommy, why can't I go outside?" a girl asked her mother, even though she already knew the answer.

"Because… you're different, Velariel, and outside there are bad people who don't like that you're different, and if they discover you, they will hurt you," she said, stroking the space between her daughter's horns.

"So don't go out, for your own good and so I won't be sad. Do you want to see mommy sad?" she asked, with a hint of playfulness in her voice.

"NO! I don't want to see you sad!"

"That's my girl. I'm off to work. Do you remember what you have to do?"

"Yes! Don't go outside, don't go near the windows during the day, and if someone knocks at the door, don't open it."

"And?"

"And don't eat the cookies."

"Exactly! Well, I'll see you tonight!"

"See you!"

The girl went to the living room to watch cartoons, but even though she was in front of the screen, her mind was elsewhere, in distant memories, memories of a past life.

'I don't remember many things; unlike what I thought it would be like to reincarnate with your memories, I don't even remember my name or family… maybe that's for the best,' she reflected on her condition.

'Could it be because I'm in the body of a small child? Can't my brain process my memories properly? Although, aren't my memories supposed to be linked to my soul or something like that? Or is this the work of that goddess? Because I remember our conversation exactly, several shows, comics, mangas, games, etc., but I don't quite remember Marvel?'

"Where's my system?"

[System initiated]

"Oh, there it is."

[Message received:

Hello Velariel

How have you been? You probably have many questions, so let me answer a few. First, regarding your memories, the reason you don't remember your past life is that they would interfere with your current life, causing problems like depression, so I removed them. Sorry about that, but it was necessary.

Second, I removed various memories of the Marvel world because… well, if the characters already know what the story is, what fun is there in that?

And third, the system is just now activating for two reasons: first, it had to link with your soul, and that takes time. I could have done it faster, but that would have damaged your soul, and believe me, you don't want that. Second, due to your third wish, which is closely related to your absorption of negative emotions with your gene X, which has been active since your birth, but only now will it be at its full capacity.

So, at this moment, your genuine journey truly begins, dear Velariel. Good luck on it.

ATTN: Goddess of Reincarnation

P.S.: I will give you a free roll as a congratulations for activating the system.]

The protagonist of this story finishes reading the note, breathes in and out, and then explodes.

"YOU GODDAMNED PIECE OF SHIT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN FOR IT TO BE MORE FUN? GIVE ME BACK MY MEMORIES, BITCH!"

…

After her previous outburst, the girl sighed and sat on the sofa, resigned.

"At least it doesn't seem like she's going to intervene more. If she intervenes too much, what's the point? Anyway… let's see my system… it's supposed to show my STATUS?"

[CTG System (Classes Template and Gacha)

Current Class: N/A

Previous Classes: N/A

Current Template: N/A

Previous Templates: N/A

Abilities: Level 1 Negative Emotion Absorption, Level 1 Corruption

Gacha Spin Points: 1

Missions: N/A

Items: N/A]

'I like it; simple, yes, but functional,' thought the girl with a smile on her pale lips.

'It makes sense that class, templates, items, and missions are empty; negative emotion absorption is the power that comes with my mutant gene, and corruption is my third wish. At low levels, it seems to work only with gacha rewards, but what about at a higher level? I wonder how it will function.'

"Alright… then it's time to use the gacha. I hope it's useful." With a simple thought, she activated her gacha spin.

[Reward Obtained

• Warrior Xenomorph (Alien)]

"Okay… this is… useful? I mean, the xenomorph is one of the deadliest creatures in fiction, born hunters and killing machines. Plus, it's the strongest and most dangerous warrior variant… so I guess I'll use it."

At the moment she thought that last part, she fell to the floor, weak, as her body began to tremble uncontrollably. The pants she wore tore apart as a tail began to grow from her hips, her shirt shredded by several spikes that started to protrude from her spine, her horns enlarged, and black veins showed through her pale skin before disappearing as quickly as they had come.

After several minutes of this twisted scene, the spasms stopped, and with difficulty, the girl stood up, now 140 centimeters tall, taller than before, with horns 15 centimeters long and a tail 1.75 meters long that looked like several vertebrae fused together, as if her spine had grown outside her skin. The protagonist of this story stood tall.

"Alright… I'm never doing that unless I'm alone," she said between gasps.

"And what did all this give me?"

[Template: Warrior Xenomorph

This template grants the host:

• Acid Injector Tail: a xenomorph tail that, unlike normal ones, has a conduit at the tip to inject acid.

• Black Acid Blood: the user's blood is now a more potent acid than industrial acids; unlike normal xenomorph blood, this one is black.

• Horn Sensors: the user's horns can act as antennas that detect heat signatures (Locked until 25% simulation).

• Exoskeleton: an exoskeleton grows over the user's skin, covering most of their body (Locked until 50% simulation).]

After finishing reading this, Velariel checked her status, seeing that where it previously said Current Template: N/A, it now said Current Template: Warrior Xenomorph.

"Excellent! If I were a normal person, I'd be bothered by growing a tail, but my appearance is anything but normal, so who cares about a tail?" she said with a cheerful expression, considering the pros outweigh the cons.

"But… how do I explain this to Mom?"
