Chapter 1

Huaguo, Seaside City.

In a quiet residential area, a girl with long black hair stood in a house, her wine-red eyes gleaming as she enthusiastically played a Marvel derivative game.

The girl's name is Tachibana Kuroko, an ordinary college student who usually enjoys watching anime. After discovering a game based on the Marvel universe, she played it for a whole month, defeating many villains.

Coincidentally, there is an anime called "Date A Live" where one of the main characters is also named Tachibana Kuroko, and she is also a young lady from a prominent family, with a nearly identical appearance. This made Kuroko suspect that the author might have stolen her image, or that she herself might have once been a two-dimensional character.

Kuroko's personality is rather calm and wise, and she has considered various situations, as if something in the universe is calling her.

The game itself is based on the Marvel universe, providing players with the ability to traverse different worlds, allowing them to conquer various worlds with their bloodline and skills. By today, the girl had already cleared ten worlds and was about to receive a special reward.

"Congratulations, player, for clearing ten worlds. You have been awarded the Time Raider System, which has been successfully soul-bound."

Kuroko looked at the sudden pop-up window on the screen, slightly stunned, as it seemed different from what she had expected.

"Huh! This system is quite interesting. I didn't expect to receive a system as a reward."

The girl said in confusion, but before she could continue her thoughts, a dense black vortex on the screen pulled her away, and she lost consciousness before she could react.

After a while, the girl gradually regained consciousness, but her appearance had changed to that of a 16-year-old girl. She found herself in a large luxurious villa, wearing a Gothic-style dress, and her mind was filled with unfamiliar memories.

What surprised Kuroko the most was that she was now a shareholder of Stark Industries. Although she didn't have much control over the company, the dividends were enough to ensure a comfortable life, and she even had her own villa.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for arriving in the Marvel universe! Newbie reward has been issued."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the G-virus enhancement from Resident Evil and one free world traversal opportunity."

The girl heard the system's voice in her mind and realized she was in a world filled with aliens, gods, and advanced technology, which was quite dangerous.

However, the Time Raider System's newbie reward was quite powerful, as the legendary substance that had touched the divine realm was enough to make her fearless against various enemies in the early stages.

As the system's voice stopped, the terrifying G-virus surged into her body. As the G-virus came into contact with Kuroko's cells, her body seemed to rapidly boil, and her mental strength and cell repair speed increased by several times.

Perhaps due to her weak constitution after the traversal, the girl temporarily lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

The darkness gradually faded, and Kuroko awoke again. The soft light from the villa's lamps illuminated her field of vision, giving her a refreshing feeling.

"Hey! Miss Tachibana, you're finally awake. Do you know? I rushed over when you suddenly fainted." A white man said with a playful smile.

"Cut it out, Tony! If it weren't for Miss Tachibana's special status, you would have been off doing who knows what." Colonel Rhodes said sternly.

"Thanks for coming, I feel much better now," Kuroko said politely.

Her wine-red eyes gleamed, as if they could see through people's hearts. With just one glance, Colonel Rhodes and Tony Stark felt as if they had been completely seen through.

Kuroko's adoptive father in the Marvel universe was no small figure, having developed many advanced technologies during World War II, which laid the foundation for Stark Industries. Therefore, even if Kuroko did nothing, she would have a steady stream of funds to use.

"By the way, I'm planning to visit Oscorp Industries soon. Are you interested?" Tony thought for a moment and asked Kuroko.

"No, I decline. After my father helped establish Stark Industries, he no longer considers company matters. You don't need to worry about me."

Kuroko politely declined, shaking her head according to her memories.

Kuroko considered Tony's words for a moment and decided to give up this opportunity. After learning about the upcoming Infinity War, she naturally wouldn't waste her time on trivial matters.

After all, in the future, Thanos would use a large sword to defeat all the Marvel superheroes, even Doctor Strange and Thor.

"Alright then! Get some rest, and I'll come see you again in a while." Tony thought for a moment and left with Rhodes.

Kuroko watched Tony Stark's back without saying anything, instead checking the functions of the Time Raider System. She saw three main functions: Exchange, Enhancement, and Lottery, but these functions could only be activated with time.

For example, the Mangekyou Sharingan required twenty years of time value, a regular Sharingan required five years, and the Time Angel Kukuri from the "Date A Live" world required a hundred years of time value to exchange.

Other items, such as Iron Man suit technology, mutant genes, or the Green Goblin's formula, could also be exchanged for time value, allowing Kuroko to obtain the abilities she desired.

However, Kuroko didn't have enough time to collect these items, so she had to take it step by step, as there was no other way.

Taking advantage of the fact that the major events in the Marvel universe had not yet begun, Kuroko opened her computer to check the news and gather any available information.

"Oscorp Industries is about to have a new collaboration with the military..."

"Spider-Man continues to fight crime on Queens Street in New York City..."

"Mutant crisis erupts, tensions between humans and mutants are escalating..."

Kuroko looked at the various pieces of information and helplessly patted her forehead. Her black hair, like a waterfall, covered her wine-red eyes, giving her a unique charm.

Based on the information she gathered, Kuroko knew that this timeline was before the events of "Iron Man 1," and the Battle of New York was still a long way off.

Although she had arrived in the world she had always dreamed of, Kuroko's strength was still too weak. She estimated that she couldn't even defeat Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit.

"Where should I start? Mutants, S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark Industries, superheroes...!"

Kuroko thought painfully, but she knew she had to take things slowly and be cautious, so as not to attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra, which would bring endless trouble.

"Right, mutant genes. I should start with that!"

Suddenly, Kuroko's eyes lit up, and she knew her goal. After all, obtaining mutant genes wasn't particularly difficult.

The Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Mansion could satisfy her needs, which was a method she had thought of.
