The Mastermind Behind the Scenes in Marvel

"I… actually transmigrated!"

Staring at the unfamiliar yet finely chiseled face in the mirror, Rorschach took several minutes to accept this unbelievable truth finally.

He had read plenty of novels and watched TV shows about transmigration, but never in a million years did he expect that one day, it would happen to him.

But of all the places to transmigrate to… why the Marvel Universe?

And why is New York City, of all places, in the Marvel Universe?

This is such a scam!

Things are manageable now, but once Tony Stark announces he's Iron Man, the real chaos begins.

Super-powered beings, aliens, cosmic overlords—the works—will start showing up in waves. Street-level destruction? That'll be the least of it; entire cities will be leveled like it's no big deal.

And when Thanos starts collecting the Infinity Stones, it's going to get insane—he'll be taking on the entire universe!

Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and even Ultron later on? That's small-time.

Why settle for causing chaos in one universe when you can wreak havoc across the multiverse?

Considering what lies ahead, Rorschach was genuinely panicking.

In a world like this, an ordinary person like him is just cannon fodder.

After all, how could he know if a green-skinned hulk would suddenly drop from the sky and punch him into next week?

Or if three massive Helicarriers might crash from the sky, flattening everything—including him—into a pancake?

He couldn't know if, one day, a group of crazy aliens would invade his city while he was asleep.

Or if his hometown might suddenly be lifted miles into the sky and turned into a giant meteor.

And most importantly, how could he possibly know if, when Thanos snaps his fingers, he'll be one of the lucky winners dusted for the "greater good"?

From his predecessor's memories, Rorschach knew that just a few days ago, Stark Industries' Jericho missile made headlines everywhere, becoming the hottest topic around.

Everyone was talking about it.

If the "Death Missile" is already here, can Tony Stark's transformation into Iron Man be far behind?

How could Rorschach not be freaking out?

Maybe it's not too late to flee New York right now.

"Ding! The system successfully bound!"

Just as Rorschach was at his wit's end, a notification sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

A virtual panel appeared in front of him—visible only to him, of course.

[Host: Rorschach]

[Current World: Marvel]

[Items: None]

[Cards: None]

[Skills: None]

[Legend Points: 0]

"A system!?!"

"My golden cheat just arrived!"

Rorschach was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with excitement.

With a cheat like this, he finally had something to rely on in the dangerous Marvel world.

[Host can earn Legend Points by causing significant events that stir up emotional reactions from those around him.]

[Legend Points can be used to unlock system chests containing various items, cards, and other rewards.]

After quickly going through the system's explanations, Rorschach understood: this was a chaos-causing system.

As long as he stirred up trouble in the Marvel Universe, he could harvest Legend Points to grow stronger.

Not bad at all!

Rorschach was quite satisfied with this system.

He didn't have to fight on the frontlines; he could just pull the strings behind the scenes and cause chaos while staying safe and cool.

Nice!

[Ding! As a new host, you can now claim your starter pack. Would you like to claim it?]

Just as Rorschach was getting familiar with the system, another notification popped up.

Was there even anything to think about?

"Claim it!"

[Host has received a Bronze Chest. Would you like to open it?]

"A Bronze Chest? That's a bit underwhelming, system."

Rorschach couldn't help but grumble slightly.

The system's chests were ranked from Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and up to Gold. When the system first mentioned a starter pack, he had high hopes.

And now?

A Bronze Chest?

Still, it's better than nothing. Better than a Black Iron Chest, at least. With a bit of anticipation, Rorschach opened the Bronze Chest.

A series of notifications immediately popped up.

[Item: Tablet of Ahkmenrah]

[Effect: Allows the user to resurrect statues, puppets, specimens, and other inanimate objects.]

[Description: A magical artifact from Night at the Museum, forged by a pharaoh in the Moon God Temple to transcend death. Its power comes from Khonshu, the Moon God.]

[Note: Be sure to let it absorb moonlight regularly, or it will stop working.]

…

[Item: Kämpfer Bracelet]

[Effect: Transforms the wearer into a Kämpfer (a super-powered female warrior).]

[Description: From Kämpfer, this bracelet grants the wearer incredible combat abilities.]

[Note: Male users, be cautious!]

…

[C-Rank 2-Star Character: Ling Lingqi]

[Skills: Expert in swordsmanship, energy manipulation, throwing knives, and singing.]

[Description: From From Beijing with Love, Ling Lingqi is a descendant of a legendary secret agent. Though eccentric, he's an exceptional spy skilled with blades.]

[Note: His melancholic gaze, fine stubble, and knife skills have captivated me deeply.]

"Not bad, looks like I got lucky!"

Rorschach couldn't help but feel excited.

Even though he didn't expect much from a Bronze Chest, the rewards exceeded his expectations.

Ling Lingqi's abilities might not be the most powerful in the Marvel Universe, but for now, he'd more than suffice.

He could probably even take on early-stage Iron Man.

After all, Rorschach couldn't believe that Tony Stark's Mark I armor would be tougher than the Golden Spear Warrior's.

As for the two items? They were pretty solid too.

Originally influenced by the movie, Rorschach thought the Tablet of Ahkmenrah could only resurrect objects at night. But now that he was its owner, he realized it had no such restriction.

It just required more energy to resurrect things during the day.

Since the tablet's power came from the Moon God, Khonshu, it wasn't completely powerless during the day—it was just significantly weaker.

As for the Kämpfer Bracelet, it granted decent combat strength, easily enough to take on Captain America.

Apart from the fact that it's a bit awkward for guys to use, there wasn't much wrong with it. In fact, it might be even more useful for earning Legend Points.

So now, how could he best use this character card and these two items to cause some real chaos in Marvel?

Rubbing his hands together, Rorschach fell deep into thought.
