Chapter 1

CH1 ~ A Bugs Journey Through Marvel.

Waking up reception room on a couch next to Beetle Juice wasn't fun. Being a fan of classic movies I easily recognized him and the family that was killed in a car accident drowning after falling off a bridge. Which funnily enough, is how I died kinda though, instead of dying in a car accident drowning in the water I died in a storm while fishing in a river getting my boat struck by lightning, and having to abandon it only then realizing I couldn't swim which was kinda stupid of me which caused me to die.

When I was about to say my thanks for making my childhood I was called by the receptionist and though talking to Bettle Juice was something I really wanted to do I knew I should probably go with the receptionist which is what I did. Looking around the office I found myself in. I found myself staring at my grandfather with a hole in his head.

Shaking my head I greeted him with a smile.

"Grandpa what are you doing here I thought you would have gone to heaven or something what are you doing here in this small office."

"And Andy I thought you would be still alive unlike your father my son that lowlife still kicking even after all the beatings I gave him when he still visited me," Grandpa stated with a grumpy response that I was always used to.

"Though to answer your question, Andy I've been hired because my karma was even as could be, which means I either get this office job or be stuck as a wandering spirit stuck inside my old house. But enough of that let's talk about why you're here." Grandpa stated gesturing to a picture of his old home.

"And why am I here grandpa?" With a gesture of my own, I asked my grandpa.

"You are here since I spent some of my own undead money. To get you a chance at another life, I knew you were always a fan of that Marvel comic book shit like your father. So I talked to my boss and after promising to look after his three sets of twins for a few hundred years I would be allowed to send you to that stupid world." With another sigh my grandpa stated.

And though taken aback by my grandpa's statement I couldn't help but feel bad since I knew my grandpa always hated children which is partly why he beat my dad the other part because he was a drug addict.

With a smile, I thanked my grandpa with all my heart. "Thank you, Grandpa it means a lot to get this opportunity from you, I just have one question why?"

Another chuckle came out of my grandpa before he responded. "Andy you don't get it our family has been known to always get equal karma, though you only see me here since the rest of our family, your family chose to stay at their homes for the rest of their life till they get destroyed, destroying their soul in the process which is also a reason I chose not to go back home and stay and work here."

With a gesture to a family photo of people, I didn't recognize though I could guess they were my family my grandpa continued. "You see all those people they all died in the end soul and all they were your family and the only way out for you is the same fate or this office, I didn't want that for you. So I got you this opportunity and I don't want you to waste it."

With a resolute expression on my face, I promised to take this opportunity and wring it for all it's got.

"Now then with that out of the way, I have some bad news though I got you this opportunity I could exactly get you a human body, the best I could do after all my years here was to get you a bug body, a beetle to be exact. Now then I also have some good news my boss loved the idea so much that he granted me a skill to give you. A skill to absorb the physical characteristics and or powers of the beings you were to kill. And all you have to do is sign a contract stating that if you were to fail to entertain my boss you would be stuck here working with me forever which ain't that bad since that was what was going to happen originally if you choose the smart option."

I started to giddily laugh at the thought of what I could do with that ability, not even caring that I would be stuck as a beetle at the beginning of my new life. After having enough time to settle down a stated. "Where do I sign?"

With a wave of my grandfather's hand, a paper and pen appear in front of me, and after reading it over not that I didn't trust my grandfather to work out the contract and everything in the end looked good.

"Well, boy as you can see by looking down you won't be here much longer." And looking down I did only see my body disappearing.

"I'll miss you, Grandpa, and again thank you for this opportunity, and thank your boss for me I won't forget this opportunity." And with those final words, I found myself waking up in a forest inside a decaying log.
