Target: Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Objective: Investigate mutant power source

Rox stood at the edge of the woods just beyond the school's perimeter.
From the outside, it looked like a peaceful private academy — red brick walls, gardens, smiling students. But his System was pinging like crazy.

Rox slipped through the outer barriers with ease. Luck ensured cameras glitched, psychic minds looked the other way, and no one noticed the stranger entering the mansion.
He followed the signal through a side corridor and into a dusty, unused room deep in the basement. Strange… even Cerebro hadn't mapped this section.
A glowing console waited at the center, humming softly.
> [System Interference Detected: X-Gene Activation Chamber – Suppressed by Charles Xavier]
[Override via Luck: SUCCESS]
The room pulsed.
And then Rox screamed.
---
Pain—pure and ancient—ripped through his body. It wasn't physical. It was existential.
Memories he didn't own flooded in. Screams of past mutants. Experiments. Despair. Hope.
His veins glowed faintly blue—then purple—then stabilized into gold.
Then it was over.
Rox collapsed to one knee, gasping. The system chimed.

> [Warning: Xavier has detected a new telepathic signature]
"Damn," Rox muttered, pushing himself up. "Of course he did."
A door behind him opened.
Charles Xavier entered—wheelchair rolling forward slowly, calm but sharp eyes fixed on Rox.
"I felt… something awaken. Something very rare."
Rox didn't speak.
He didn't have to.

> [Event Branching: Choose Response Path]
1. Lie: Pretend to be a newly awakened mutant
2. Reveal: Tell Xavier the truth about the Luck System
3. Recruit: Propose an alliance from the shadows
---
Rox chose the third.
"I'm not your student. I'm not your enemy either. What's coming… the world won't survive it by playing fair."
Xavier studied him for a long time. Then—surprisingly—he smiled.
> "You're right. The future is already rewriting itself around you. I won't stop you. But don't lose yourself in the illusion of control. Even luck has limits."
> ✅ Informal Alliance with Xavier formed
→ Xavier will not reveal Rox's presence to the X-Men
→ Mental shields enhanced via psychic imprint

Later that night, back in his base, Rox stared at his hands.
They no longer looked normal.
Gold threads shimmered under his skin—fine, like fate itself was sewn through his body.
The System buzzed with something it had never done before:
> [NOTICE: Host may no longer be considered "human" by cosmic standards]
Rox grinned.
> "Good. I'm not here to be human."
> "I'm here to win."
