A/N: It seems I've made a mistake.
For those who have been asking who Jenna is, whether she was an OC or not, I will say she is both. It might not be very clear for some, but I took a real Marvel Character and turned her into an OC.
Jenna's real name is Jane Foster, the ex-girlfriend of Thor.
The mistake was I thought it was Jennifer Foster, so the nickname Jenna. When I was reading about Thor, I found out that her name is Jane… So, oops.
I am sorry and a little frustrated since I wanted to reveal her real identity when her father said his last name.
*Jenna = Jane Foster*
Again, sorry about that.
================
The family was dining in utter quiet.
Bruno, putting his bread into the soup, said, "So how did you meet my daughter?"
Jane responded, a little awkwardly, seeing Kaiser, her rich boyfriend, was also eating hard bread with soup for supper, "Well... Actually, I was the one who met him first."
"That's very sweet, honey. When did you first begin dating" Claire, her mother, questioned.
"Today, I proposed to her. So I thought I should have at least said hello to her parents when I dropped her off." Kaiser replied, taking a bit of the hard soaked bread.
"What very thoughtful of you." Claire, who had seemingly been saving up the question, said, "What do your folks do by the way?"
"Mo-"
Kaiser said nonchalantly, "Dead," before Jane could say anything. Bringing on yet another uncomfortable pause.
"I am sorry to hear that. My sincere condolences." Claire apologized and admitted her mistake.
"Do you attend Manhattan College with Jane?" Bruno inquired, attempting to shift the conversation.
"No. I have decided to get into business for myself. It was the reason I couldn't meet her during this week."
Before long, Kaiser and Jane had completed their meal and were waiting outside the door.
Kaiser gently kissed her on the cheek and added, "I will see you on Sunday."
Jane, who was resting in the arms of Kaiser, hummed her happiness.
To save Janne's blushes, Kaiser just gave her a quick peck on the cheek. He could see that Bruno was gazing at them intensely from the blinder on the window.
Even before they had spoken, Kaiser had a feeling that Bruno didn't think much of him.
Bruno, a man of integrity and hard work, assumed that Kaiser was enjoying life on the inheritance from his parents' deaths and that he would soon cast Jenna aside.
Walking away from her home, Kaiser could feel the raging conflict he knew was going on inside.
…
'All right, Dian put in half of the funds.' Kaiser, a successful businessman, knew which companies' stocks had historically done well and which had lost money.
But he need not worry about this since Dian can analyze stock market trends and run her own simulations to determine which companies are the best to invest in.
Currently, $60,000 is being invested in Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Medivation, Google, Facebook, Bio Specifics Technologies, and a few more well-known corporations.
Kaiser nearly forgot that Apple stock is now $4 per share; the number of individuals who passed up the opportunity to acquire at less than $5 per share is almost comical.
He finally had the 60,350$, and he needed to purchase an office facility and launch Babylon Enterprise. Although he claims to be his own person and not Gilgamesh, his obsession with Gilgamesh is clear, even if you discount his denial.
Does he care that he wasn't being himself and was being unoriginal? Nope. He isn't egotistic enough to start bragging about how it was all his hard work and power. He was aware that he had been given everything by the system and how he was transported here. But he still kept his pride. No one could take it away from him now. It was HIS.
He laid down on the bed and started reading, but then he realized he had a sinking feeling that he'd forgotten something.
{(#-.-)... You forgot the kitten you and miss have recused in the veterinary.}
"I just came back home... (-.-#)."
◈ ━ ◆ ━ ◈
The next morning, after just an hour of sleep, Kaiser woke up from his search for information in the alchemical book on how to utilize his Prana to cure the cat he had rescued the day before.
It's a good thing he did. The kitten was completely healed with only a few circles of magic, and it was clearly grateful to him since it hadn't left his side since the last night.
"I'm not sure whether you're a regular kitty anymore," Kaiser remarked. Admit it or not, he may have experimented with it a little bit. They weren't dangerous; he just drew a few more circles, as instructed.
It's unfortunate that he's already identified a problem. Unfortunately, Od's rate of regeneration was terrible. While he was able to take in the mana around him, he did worry that his actions may draw the attention of some really strong individuals.
Not so long ago, he caught the eye of a powerful being that could obliterate Thor and reduce all in her vicinity to rubble.
The attractive woman with black hair whom Kaiser flirted. Her name was Sersi, and as an eternal with immense power.
First and foremost, Celestials, according to Kaiser, are omnipotent beings capable of creating multiple universes on the fly.
The Celestials were the very first form of life in the universe. They existed before the Big Bang and even before the six Singularities. The Celestials, led by Arishem the Judge and endowed with infinite cosmic power, created planets, stars, and lifeforms, as well as bringing light into the universe.
The Deviants are up next. The Celestials created Homo descendus as the result of a series of DNA tests. Their race is generally insensitive, and they regard all other species as a threat. They even distrust each other and frequently get in each other's way. They were originally designed to protect the world, but they later rebelled.
Finally, the Eternals. They are an offshoot of humanity known as Homo immortalis, which was created by the Celestials one million years ago to defend Earth, but primarily to deal with Deviants. Unfortunately for them, because they are synthetic beings, they will never evolve, unlike the Deviants.
Fun fact, The Purple Barney is an Eternal, but he was born with Deviant genes, which was fairly common at the time. Many Eternals are born with Deviant genes at random. Being born with Deviant genes is useful if you ignore their society's ugliness and scrutiny. Many people with Devient genes are more powerful than the rest of the population.
When she returned to Sersi, she was one of 10 Eternals who had gone into hiding throughout the globe. She has the ability to shape matter, but not via alchemy. Basically, with the sweep of her palm, she can transform any structure into a butterfly and perhaps even transform you into a cat.
[There is nothing wrong with being a cat, I like them. They are tasty.]
{Nothing to be concerned about, Host. By your reasoning, the Parna you use is always being transformed back into Mana, even if you don't absorb any mana. Therefore, it's irrelevant. And because NYC is situated on a large Leyline, any temporary decrease or increase in mana density would go unnoticed.}
'Fine!' Kaiser finally agreed. In his past life, he was not quite as paranoid, but then again, there probably weren't multidimensional terrestrial creatures who could destroy universes with a simple sneeze. Perhaps there was, but he was unaware of it.
'Sigh... Truly ignorance is blitz'
He sat down and began to draw Mana from the atmosphere gently. There was no urgency for him, he was taking his time.
His energy levels were, predictably, rising rapidly. His 390 mana was replenished in 20 minutes.
Happy with his newfound Od, he returned to his Alchemical studies, abandoning the bewildered cat, who felt forgotten somehow.
{Ahem... Host? You have work in the morning.}
Kaiser's mood soured, he had forgotten that it was morning and that he needed to leave the house to scope out a small building that would serve as his makeshift office until he could find a more permanent location.
Kaiser has paid for half a year in the Empire State Building, so he could use his 60,000 dollars to buy a modest home. However, he has other plans and would rather use the money to start a company and construct an office building.
