Marvel: My Own Path

[Deleting the Path of Superhero and the Path of Supervillain, please wait a moment...]

[The two Paths has now been deleted!]

[Creating an entirely new path now, please wait a few moments...]

[Establising the connection of the Path and the host... the connection has been successful!]

[Please give this new Path a name!]

As soon as the system's monotonous voice stopped, Skye cupped his chin as he started to ponder what name his new Path shall have.

"Hmm, since the system will be following me from now one, and the fact that it has been created by you... let's call it the Path of Supremacy!" said Skye with excitement visible on his face.

[Ding! The newly created Path is now named Path of Supremacy!]

[Are you willing to embark upon the Path of Supremacy? Beware, the difficulty has increased compared to the two orthodox paths.]

Without hesitation, Skye agreed.

[Ding! The host has now entered the Path of Supremacy!]

[Ding! The Beginner Starter Pack has been rewarded to the host! Open?]

"Open!"

[Opening the Beginner Starter Pack now...10%...35%...64%...89%...100%! Opening now!]

[You have received: (Beginner) Free Shopping Ticket (x3)!]

[You have received: Level +1 and 1,000 system points!]

[You have received: Coat of Midnight!]

"Ohhhhh" exclaimed Skye before hurriedly opening the status page.

Removing his bloodied and tattered clothes, Skye found out that when he equipped the Coat of Midnight, it wasn't merely just a coat.

As the jet-black, loose overcoat appeared on Skye's body, a slim-fit, flexible and adaptable, black thermal suit and battle trousers appeared on his upper body and lower body respectively, replacing his earlier clothes, faster than a blink of an eye. Their colors were the same, jet-black, like his overcoat.

And finally, as if completing a superhero costume, a silvery-white mask appeared on Skye's face, covering only parts of his face that were above his nose.

The contrast between the black and white didn't look strange one bit, but instead, added a touch of aesthetic.

In much simpler words, the Coat of Midnight simply looked too cool and awesome!

At that moment, if one didn't look closely at Skye from before he had the Coat of Midnight up till now, then that person would only see a blur! His was figure was as if it had blended with darkness itself!

One can only notice his figure when Skye himself was right before that person's eyes!

As Skye felt the magical powers of the Coat of Midnight, he couldn't help but ask the system. "System, I look very cool now, no?"

System: [...yes.]

'Good, that is what's important.' he said in his heart as he couldn't help but remember some superheroes that wore the most ridiculous costumes.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Skye then opened up the System Shop as a system window UI appeared in front of him.

'I wonder if other people can see this system window...'

As if answering his question, the system replied. [You don't need to worry my host, no one, other than the creator, can see or hear me.]

Skye breathed in relief when he heard the system's assurance.

"Okay then, by the way, you can call me Skye from now on. Since I never had a 'friend' in my previous life, we can be friends from now on." he said as the foreign word, 'friend', escaped his lips.

Although Skye couldn't trust the people of this world, he knew that he could trust the Supreme System.

System: [As you wish, Skye.]

After that, Skye then began browsing the [Skills] section in the system shop.

A while ago, Skye found out that the system had separated everything in the system shop into three sections, to make it easier for him to browse and buy stuff.

The three sections of the shop are: the [Skills] section, the [Equipments] section, and the [Items] section. And below these three sections were other sub-sections and different categories.

The light in Skye's eyes kept getting brighter and brighter as he saw innumerable elemental and non-elemental skills, martial arts mastery, cultivation techniques, and etc, in the shop.

"It's a pity that I can only choose three things that have a price of 5,000 points and under..." sighed Skye as he saw those priced that were over a million points.

Thinking for a moment, Skye went silent as he checked out the ones that were priced under 5,000 points.

A while later, he was in a stump.

Unable to decide which to get, he can only ask the system for help. "System, what would be the most suitable skills for me to buy?"

System: [Okay Skye, please wait a moment...]

System: [With your current situation, it is pointless to buy any martial-arts mastery or weapons mastery since you are already trained to the pinnacle on nearly every weapon there is while your own martial-arts has already reached the apex of this world.]

Skye nodded his head at the system's words. He remembered how he was forced to train all kinds of weapons under the threat of death.

Be it a sword, daggers, blades, guns, or even a spear, he was well-versed in all of them.

But of course, what he mostly used as his weapon was his body. His limbs that were tempered through inhuman training, his body that was enhanced by genetic experimentations, his fingers that could take a life in a blink of an eye, Skye used his whole body as his weapon.

And pair that with his monstrous combat prowess, extensive assassinating experience, and discerning eyes that could instantly find and target his enemy's vital parts and weaknesses, Skye was, in a sense, a perfect, breathing, living weapon!

System: [Therefore, I suggest that you first pick a cultivation technique which could infinitely enhance your strength, albeit at a slow pace. That or pick an elemental ability which will increase your powers explosively, but limited in the long run.]

"What do you suggest then system?"

System: [In my opinion, a cultivation technique is more suitable for you since it could enhance your strength and physique beyond the level of superhuman. With a strong enough body, you wouldn't need to worry about elemental attacks let alone physical ones; also, in the future, you can simply buy something that can nullify energy attacks or elemental attacks from the system.]

"Cultivation Technique?" hearing these familiar words, Skye was surprised for a moment before he thought about it.

Back in his previous life, Skye had encountered numerous experts that had cultivated and possessed a mystical power called, 'Internal Strength'.

(Author: Inner Force/Internal Strength/Qi/Chi/etc.)

Those experts were capable of feats beyond what a normal human could do!

But of course, even the world's strongest Internal Strength expert couldn't last a minute against Skye.

Sadly, he wasn't able to practice and cultivate since his body was genetically molded to the point that his physique couldn't even be said to be 'human' anymore, otherwise his strength would've increased to a whole different level.

So when he heard the system mentioned the term, 'Cultivation Technique', Skye only paused for a moment before agreeing.

"System, please find the best and most suitable cultivation technique for me!"

System: [As you wish Skye. Filtering everything except the d.e.s.i.r.ed search...Analyzing all the components, please wait a moment...]

A second later.

System: [Searching complete! There are a total of four cultivation techniques that are the best and most suitable for the host while being under 5,000 system points.]

"Show me which of the four can increase my strength the most while also focusing on body enhancement."

System: [Evaluating the four techniques now, please wait a moment...]

System: [Evaluation complete. As you asked for, the one that would be able to give you the most strength while also focusing on body enhancement is the 'Tyrannical Champion Physique'. This cultivation technique has five levels, with each breakthrough enhancing every aspect of your body immensely.

System: [And the best part about this technique is that through me, the Supreme System, you will be able to absorb the purest of Qi that is present in this universe, without needing to cultivate, albeit at a slow pace.]

Skye was speechless when he heard the system's words. "...Doesn't that mean that even if I just sleep and do nothing every day, my strength will improve nonetheless?"

System: [Indeed! But the advancement of the cultivation technique will be many times slower compared to when you cultivate yourself.]

'System is too OP!'

"Alright! System, I'll get this Tyrannical Champion Physique!" said Skye excitedly.

[Ding! A (Beginner) Free Shopping Ticket has been used! Remaining tickets: 2.]

____________________

[Tyrannical Champion's Physique]

• A branch cultivation technique created by the Supreme System from its original source, Tyrant God's Physique.

____________________

"...Tyrant God's Physique? System, how much is this Tyrant God's Physique?" asked Skye curiously, only to be dumbfounded when he heard the system's reply.

System: [Tyrant God's Physique, the original source of the branching technique Tyrannical Champion's Physique, costs 7,000,000 system points!]

Skye yelled at once. "WHAT?! 7,000,000?!!"

System: [Yes, if you are lucky enough to obtain this cultivation technique, and once you attain grand completion, then destroying this planet with just one punch is possible.]

"Oh my god! How insane is that?!" Skye jumped. He couldn't help but imagine himself sending the monstrously strong Hulk away with but a flick of a finger...

'Formidable...' he thought.

Hesitating for a moment, he asked. "System... there are more things in the shop that are more powerful than the Tyrant God's Physique right?"

System: [Yes.]

'Indeed, as expected from the work of the creator...' thought Skye.

It took him a while before he regained his senses. "System, I saw something called Kryptonian's Physique, isn't that from the DC Universe?"

System: [Yes it is. However, since we are in the Marvel Universe, the Kryptonian Physique has been revised and molded by me, allowing it to exist in this universe. This physique is a bit different from the original one. But of course, there is no one in this universe that possesses or could possess this altered Kryptonian's Physique.]

"Revised and refined by the system, allowing it to exist in this universe huh..." Sky muttered. But at that moment, he thought of something from an anime he used to watch in his previous life, of course, as a form of escape from his tragic reality."

When he watched that anime and saw how that 'thing' was awoken and evolved, Skye couldn't help but think that it was simply perfect for him!

Opening up the system store, he immediately searched for it, and to his delight, it indeed existed!

"There it is!" cried Skye.
