Ch-2 : This kinda happened too.....

My consciousness came back as I woke up groggily.

Opening my eyes I saw that I was in an unfamiliar place, the room was cramped and full of cardboard boxes.

Walking upto the bathroom I saw myself in the mirror, and the first thing that came out of my mouth was "Fuuck!!".

What I saw in the mirror was a totally different face than I remembered.

"Aaarrrggh" I fell on my knees as I held my head tightly, memories started flooding in, how I took care of the terrorists, how I was turned into a sieve, how I died....

The feeling was surreal, the feeling of life leaving my body, the darkness that went through, it was nightmarish.

'Wait a minute, If I died, how am I still alive??...."

"Motherfucker!!!!!!" I groaned again as another wave of pain hit my brain, but this time, something changed

The memories I received this time were the memories were of Bruce Banner, the genius man who studied nuclear physics, had seven PhDs in in different fields and had great expertise in field of gamma radiation.

It showed how he was invited by General Thaddeus 'thunderbolt' Ross in hopes of making humans immune to gamma radiation but was tricked into becoming a monstrosity known as hulk.

He ran away from the lab and ended up in Rio de Janeiro.

The memories along with the wave of pain ended.

Was this the infamous Reincarnation into another world?? That was not for now, the first thing I wanted to do now was to sleep, it just pained a lot.

After unknown hours of sleeping, I finally woke up, I had assimilated all the memories of Me.

It was shocking and at the same time very exciting, I had been reincarnated into the body of The Hulk.

My brain felt exceptionally clear along with working extremely fast, 'Is this how geniuses feel?' the feeling was just too good, all the information that I had studied till now, from both of my lives were extremely clear.

New ideas were popping like popcorns all the time.

I calmed myself down as I didn't want to go hulk and destroy everything around me.

I focused on the differences that had happened till now, the first and the foremost being that there was no Betty Ross in my life, second being my looks, they were a mix between my previous looks and Mark Ruffalo, My face looked fairly above average right now, this was a good sign.

I wasn't so handsome in my last life, but this mixture of facial features were above average, good for me I guess.

I took a look at my body, while banning worked out pretty hard, banner never picked a dumbbell in his life, his whole focus was on academic studies.

Still, it was pretty decent as it was not fat or thin, I was about 175 cm (approximately 5 foot and 10 inches) in height, everything about my body was average right now.

It looked like I had been reincarnated into MCU considering absence of mutants from my memories, or it may be that they still hadn't surfaced till now.

MCU was much safer than any other Marvel Universe, but it was still pretty dangerous.

A mad titan, some gods and demons, planet destroying powers and the ultimate pebbles, it was still pretty messed up.

Checking the newspaper, it was 4th of feb 2004, it had only been 6 months since I first became hulk, I had came to Brazil last month with everything worth a penny.

I sat down as I contemplated on what I should do next, and the most logical answer was to go to kamar taj and meet the ancient one.

She was the only one now who could control hulk without causing any kind of damage if I got out of control. And that was sure to happen as I was eager to turn hulk and test my powers out.

I checked the pile upon piles of boxes, filled with normal stuff.

I took out the dictionary along with the language book I had bought before transmigration, and started studying it.

Knowing the local language was a must if I wanted to live quietly without causing suspicion for a while.

Thank goodness that I had bought military MREs, you only needed water which was free, to cook them.

I ate one, it wasn't too good nor to bad, normal I guess in the taste, it was duck meat with rice, tasty or not, it was fulfilling for sure.

I munched one the salt cracker biscuits as I read the language book, with my new brain power, it was pretty easy, in a few days, I would turn fluent in Portuguese.

Getting a temporary ID was quite easy with my skill, the state of computer sciences was still not so good, it was quite easy to establish myself in the database, and along with my new face being so different, it won't cause any suspicion at all.

For the coming days I continued a fixed timetable, three hours of exercise, yoga and stretching in the morning, then eating and studying the language along with resting, then martial arts training in the afternoon.

I was already proficient in the arts I studied before, thus I started learning a different art for now, wrestling.

Considering my hulk size, wrestling and Judo were the most suitable arts for me taking in consideration the size of enemies I would have to fight along the way.

This continued for two weeks, along with studying language, I also started recovering my previous memories, I mean the ones related to my knowledge of different subjects.

I already knew them, I just needed to jog my memory up to keep them in usage, Banner would have been a great scientist if he wasn't afflicted by a condition known as 'Hulk', which distracted him from concentrating on most things.

It was the time of peace on earth, the modern Avengers would start appearing after almost 6 years, I still had a lot of time before everything went crazy.

I was confident that I could control hulk by that time.

But that was a distant dream right now, I could feel the bubbling anger of hulk every second, but since my nature was peaceful from beginning, it was quite controllable, but only if no one angers me.

That's why I go out as minimum as I can, that too only for running and exercise with headphones on my head to to keep the crap of the world away.

It was a very refreshing feeling, not causing any trouble for so long, not attracting muggers at every corner, not needing to behave like everything was after my life, just to live like a plain normal human was my dream, which now came true.

Making money was the problem right now, which was easily solved, famous for its crime rates, Brazil had many opportunities for me to make money.

With my skills, I just wandered into their lair, found the stash of money and took an unnoticeable $10000 from the stacks.

Being a trouble magnet had taught me how to keep my presence as low as possible, though I still lacked in the stealth aspect, it wasn't like the goons were experts, I could easily go unnoticed by them.

It was quite easy to find their money, below the floor, behind the walls, in the ceiling, below the bathroom tiles, inside electronics and etc... They were amateurs at hiding money.

I was now quite confident that I could face any 'normal' situation for now.

In another two weeks or so, I would be able to achieve the best of both my lives, all the knowledge of banner along with physical power of banning.

One thing I had noticed that I had pretty much inexhaustible stamina along with a huge regenerative factor, this was revealed that even after running 20 KMs, I was still breathing normally, without any kind of fatigue. While the regeneration was revealed when I accidentally dropped a dumbbell on my foot, break my little finger, which got fixed in a few minutes.

The super soldier idea of Ross did work but created hulk as a side effect.

My regeneration was so good that I could heal broken bones in a few minutes while even gunshots would take only a couple hours to disappear like they never existed. (I totally not tested that ome out)

After confirming this fact, I had made my training even more intense than before. In only training, I would break a bone or two, but that was nothing compared to the gains I had at the end of the two weeks.

This type of training would be detrimental and outlandishly dangerous and life-threatening to anybody else, but with my stamina and regeneration, it was double the effort resulting in exponential gains.

What would take people months, even years was done in just a few weeks.

My height had increased by a couple of inches, my muscles were more apparent while my physique appeared much chiseled.

I was quite buffed up but not to the point where it restricted my flexibility and movement, it was like a perfect mixture of body and muscles.

I could run as fast as 45 Km/hr, lift more than an Olympic heavy lifter, had more explosive strength than a world champion boxer, and could hold my breath for seemingly forever, it was like my body had switched to another source of energy, which it did when I first turned hulk.

I didn't need to eat or breath biologically, my body's energy requirement was fulfilled by the energy that my body was deriving from somewhere.

But to actually stop breathing and eating was much difficult, it was ingrained in human blood, how to breathe, since the second we come in this world, we start breathing, it's an activity which is very hard to drop.

To suddenly stop these activities would not affect me physically, but mentally.

It would be like asking a drug addict to stop taking any drugs in one day, impossible. I would have to do it over the course of many years.

Keeping that aside, In a few months, I would be able to enter the 'super' category with my strength, while I already had super stamina.

On the other side of the things, I had deepened my knowledge on radiation, energy, and other branches that I had studied while being Banner, just by going over my notes again, it was like exploring every nook and cranny of your hand and getting to know about each and every line on my palm and fingers.

If Banner's thought process was like a dish prepared by a world class chef, Banning was like an idiot sandwich.

My thoughts process became dozens of times faster as I was adapting to my new brain power.

Banner was a scientist, he didn't want any of this, he just wanted good life, he didn't want to fight anyone, he was afraid of being injured and injuring someone else.

And becoming hulk broke that apart as he had to focus constantly with all of his strength to not go hulk and destroy everything. This made him less of a scientist and more of a fugitive in his own body.

But that period of time was over, the new me was much better and more adaptable in every way.

Though I still had to divert some attention to not become angry, it wasn't anywhere near like before.

It was already time for me to leave the country and go east, to Kamar Taj, and meet Ancient One.

I burnt every last bit of research paper, my notes, floppy's and discs containing my research and any other thing related to me or my research.

It would spell disaster if someone with a half decent brain got their hands on them.

They contained the gamma radiation theories and notes of when I first turned hulk, even if someone would become a hulk, it would induce many types of mutations, giving birth to many abominations. Heck, banner had even created a knock off version of super soldier serum in hopes of reversing his hulk transformation.

A few more weeks later, I was finally ready to take a big step in my journey. To go east.

Assuming a new identity while deleting my other one from their database, I booked myself a ticket to Kathmandu.

I had about $78000 in an international bank account, which should be enough for quite a long time.

As such, after a week of preparation, I landed in Kathmandu.
