Apparently, I'd had a system this entire time.No, really. A system. Like the ones in fanfics I used to binge between physics projects and ramen breaks.
I just hadn't said the word out loud.Turns out, the damn thing was waiting for me to acknowledge it. All I had to do was think about systems, transmigration stories, and—bam—blue holographic text popped into my vision like a smug genie.
[System Online]Welcome, User: Wanda MaximoffClassification: Scarlet Witch (Transmigrated Entity)Type: Quest System
My heart skipped a beat. Oh. My. God.
I had actually gotten a system.Somewhere in my past life, the nerdy scientist part of me was screaming, jumping up and down with excitement. The rational part of me—the part that used to calculate quantum probabilities for fun—was already analyzing the code-like precision of the text.
[Starter Pack Unlocked]
"Starter pack?" I muttered, smirking. "Well, it wouldn't be a proper system without one."
And then the rewards came rolling in.
Reward 1: Mind Shield — Your mind is immune to all forms of mental, spiritual, or psychic interference. Your consciousness cannot be corrupted, read, or altered.
That alone made my breath hitch. No more mental tampering. No more fear of control. Even Charles Xavier himself wouldn't be able to peek inside.
Reward 2: The Darkhold — Complete access to all known and unknown forms of magic, chaos, and forbidden knowledge.
I blinked. The Darkhold? Not a copy, not a watered-down version, but the real thing? The book that drove even gods to madness?Good thing I had that Mind Shield now.
Reward 3: Talent: "The Gods Envy" — Your magical potential is limitless. Even divine beings cannot compare to your capacity for learning and mastery.
I could almost feel the surge inside me, like every particle of energy in the air suddenly wanted to obey my command. It wasn't just power—it was understanding. Equations, runes, sigils, universal laws—all of it clicked into place like a cosmic puzzle I'd been solving my entire life.
I couldn't help laughing. "Oh, this is just unfair."
The irony wasn't lost on me. In my past life, I died chasing the limits of science. Now, in this one, I was being handed the keys to magic itself.
Still, my mind spun with possibilities. If I could master the Darkhold safely, if I could use my unmatched talent, if I could complete enough quests…
There would be no ceiling. No limits. No gods above me.
Just me.
And maybe Natasha, if I played my cards right.
