"It's a trojan horse of fate, the slug of time, the loopholes in rules, the manifestation of all errors."
I was relaxing at home. Occasionally sipping from the glass of apple juice. I took a sip of it and relaxed into my chair. I had some time to kill before I had to go to my school. So I went on my phone surfing the Internet. That is when I saw there was a new trailer of the Avengers Endgame. I knew the film was going to be amazing, I couldn't wait for it. After watching the trailer, I sat back. The Marvel films were just amazing, so I hoped the film would meet the hype.
I still couldn't believe that most of the heroes turned to dust in Infinity war. It was a huge cliff-hanger at the end of that film. Suddenly my sight felt blurry, everything went black. I tried to call for help, but no sound came out of my mouth.
Waking up floating in space was not something I had expected or desired but what can you do about it. I pinched myself to wake myself up from what I thought was a dream and wake up I did, just not where I thought I would be.
With a click my eyes snapped open only for me to close them due to the bright light that pierced my eyes. Behind my closed eyes a wild mixture of colored lights intertwined with each other, whilst my head pounded as if someone had smacked me with a hammer to the head.
A ringing sound hammered my head as I opened my eyes again.
A reddish screen was in front me
Name: Felix Nygard
Pathway: Error
Sequence: 9 - Marauder (Low Sequence)
Acting: 0%
Abilities: [Stealing, Physical improvements, Superior observation, Agile Hand, Night Vision]
Stealing: Stealing is stealing
Physical improvements: Marauders have enhanced speed and nimbleness. These physical enhancements make them very good users of knives and daggers.
Superior observation: They have intuitions of where valuable items are and how valuable they are.
Agile Hand: They have increased wrist and finger flexibility and dexterity, enabling them to more easily steal things.
Night Vision: These Beyonders could use night vision to see in the darkness.
Marauders are difficult to separate from ordinary bandits or thieves. Perhaps the means available to them are more impressive, but their goal of stealing riches is not for enjoyment or survival - for them, it is more like answering a calling.
(AN: The Beyonders in Lord of Mysteries and Marvel Beyonders are not the same)
Whilst I was trying to recover from the shock and confusion at what was happening to me.
No way in hell, I thought to himself 'am I going mad? Please tell me I'm not God.' I preyed
Just then a solution struck me, something that sounded ridiculous, but then again I did just see floating boxes appear in front of him like in a game.
What if this, and I knew I was being silly, what if this is a game? Then what is this like the Matrix or something? Was I The Chosen One?
I tried shifting my head, but the text remained in one place, exactly a foot away from my head. I then jumped forward and tried to touch it, only for my hand to go through the screen, and then suddenly the screen rippled like I was touching the surface of a lake, causing ripples to form on the red box.
Wait a goddamn second, Pathway? Sequence? Acting? Marauder? Wait wait am I in Lord of Mysteries universe with a system? Oh, shit, I gotta watch for so many bloody enemies like Amon and Adam and let's not blood the forget the Outer Gods. I'm screwed oh my god I swear I'm screwed.
'Breath Felix breath' I though as I calmed down.
'Where am I?' I asked myself
I looked around and all around me was sand as far as the eye can see so I'm not a genius but even I could tell I was in a bloody desert and above a bright blue sky with the sun shining brightly, giving its warmth to everything. I decided after thinking for quite a while that I would look for some civilization and act to raise my sequence. These two were a foremost priority for now, I can think about other things later on.
After walking for hours and hours, hmm I don't know how long it took, but I finally saw a massive structure, wait is that a pyramid?
As I walked closer and closer I the structure become clear and clearer. It was definitely a pyramid and when I say it was enormous; it was enormous; I have seen skyscrapers, but this was something else. Wait, I need to blend in with these people and find some information, thankful I spoke Arabic for some apparent reason I thought it might be useful and learned. Well lesson learned, when you have a feeling then learn the language.
As I got close enough, I saw a city next to the pyramid, and it was packed with people of all kinds so I hopeful I won't look out of place.
As I entered the city I noticed people selling a verity of things but no-one buying them. A lot of people looked quite depressed and starved as they had not ate in days.
Due to me being a Marauder I need to act like a bandit so that is exactly what I will do. Walking to a shop that has a reasonable amount of people surrounding, I walked to the front and grabbed who I guessed was the owner by the arm and threw him on the floor.
"What the hell are you doing?" demanded the owner who had a very old accent which I guess might due to the fact I'm in the past. 'Arg the pain and stress I have to deal with' I thought.
"Give me all of your money" I demanded
When I said that the owner got up off the floor and threw a punch to my face which I ducked under and then preceded to elbow him in the stomach. ' I haven't had a fight since primary school but wow is my enhanced body awesome.
Throwing him once again on the floor, I then stepped on his face and rubbed my shoe in his face. No-one in the crowd spoke up at over as if they were used to this and didn't see anything which by the way confused me but hey I don't really care.
'Status' I said in my mind
Name: Felix Nygard

'Holy shit the acting bar went up so much and I only had to do something like this a few more time and I'll be able to level up I guessing' were the thoughts in my mind 'Although I still wasn't sure if I had to find the ingredients but as I didn't consume any potion to become a Marauder I guessing I won't have to'
As quickly as I came I left with the money after a few ah hmmm suggestions to the owner. What was really weird now that I think about it was the fact that no-one questioned anything. Maybe they thought I was a local gang or something.
Moving on from that thought I then went to a place to stay for the night and then I would act more and finally get stronger in this world and move up in the hierarchy.
Not forgetting ask the time and year and place and to which ask was " It's 6 pm on the 23rd of November 1999 in Cairo of course"
Wait It's 2005 and it's Cairo and not some city like Bayam
