Chapter 3 - Chapter 3— Gifts of a Bored God

The moment I mentally selected Open Starter Pack, golden text burst across my vision, crisp and elegant—like the God cared more about aesthetics than morality.

Starter Pack Opened

Reward 1: Super Ability — Flash Forge(Create physical objects from imagination into reality.)

Reward 2: Passive Skill — Mastery of All Weapons(Instant, perfect mastery with any weapon classified as a weapon.)

Reward 3: Passive Skill — Genius Strategist + Beyond-Human Intelligence(IQ increased to superhuman levels. You are now the smartest being in the universe. You possess perfect knowledge of all known and theoretical strategies.)

I stared.

"…Okay," I whispered. "This is broken. Not just overpowered—game-breaking."

Flash Forge alone was absurd. I could build weapons, machines, infrastructure—hell, I could probably invent modern technology centuries before its time.

And then the strategist ability…A cold thrill ran down my spine.

I wasn't just Alexander the Great reborn.

I was something far worse.

[Alexandra]:Okay guys… I got some overpowered rewards.How about you? Check yours.

They all opened their packs at once—the system showed me their results automatically, like party loot drops from an RPG.

My eyes widened as each window popped up.

JULIUS CAESAR (Michael)

Starter Pack Opened

Reward 1: Super Ability — Absolute Charisma(Your words influence minds. Inspires loyalty, obedience, and fanatic devotion.)

Reward 2: Skill — Supreme Commander(All armies under your command fight at 200% effectiveness. Morale never breaks.)

Reward 3:Political Monarch(Perfect understanding of politics, diplomacy, manipulation, and empire management.)

I whistled.

[Alexandra]:Michael… you're literally built to dominate the ancient world.

[Julius]:…I feel like the God is trying to speedrun history using us.

[Alexandra]:He probably is.

CLEOPATRA (Emma)

Starter Pack Opened

Reward 1: Super Ability — Divine Healing Touch(Instantly heal any physical injury. Regenerate limbs. Cure diseases. Purify poisons.)

Reward 2: Skill — Biological Omni-Genius(Perfect, infinite understanding of medicine, biology, surgery, and anatomy.)

Reward 3: Passive — Enchanting Presence(Beauty, grace, charisma, and charm increased to supernatural levels.)

[Darius]:That's… horrifyingly strong.

[Alexandra]:I'm calling it now—Marvel is not ready for Ancient Egyptian Emma.

[Cleopatra]:I AM A WALKING HOSPITAL AND A GODDESS, FEAR ME.

She was already drunk on power.

DARIUS III (Riley)

The next set of rewards appeared and I narrowed my eyes.

Starter Pack Opened

Reward 1: Ability — Shadowed Mind(Immunity to telepathy, mind-reading, illusions, memory extraction, and mental attacks.)

Reward 2: Skill — Perfect Espionage(Unparalleled stealth, infiltration, disguise, assassination, intelligence gathering.)

Reward 3: Passive — Royal Awareness(Automatically detect danger, poisoning attempts, ambushes, betrayal, traps.)

[Darius]:…I'm officially unkillable.

[Julius]:Riley, you were terrifying enough before reincarnation.

[Alexandra]:Now you're a walking SCP detection system.

FOURTH FRIEND — JONAH

(You didn't specify his historical counterpart earlier, so I'll write him in fluidly. You can choose the figure later if you prefer.)

Starter Pack Opened

Reward 1: Ability — Arcane Intuition(Instant understanding of supernatural phenomena. First step toward magic.)

Reward 2: Skill — Tactical Engineering(Create structures, fortresses, weapons, traps, and defensive systems far beyond ancient limits.)

Reward 3: Passive — Unbreakable Loyalty(Can never betray the team. Will stand with them until death.)

[Cleopatra]:Marvel sorcerers are going to HATE him.

[Alexandra]:Good. We need someone who can at least begin to understand magic before Doctor Strange shows up in two thousand years.

I Looked at All Their Rewards and Exhaled Slowly

We were monsters.

Not yet—but the potential was terrifying.Five reincarnated friends.Five historical rulers.Five broken starter packs designed by a bored God.

[Alexandra]:Okay…We're all insanely overpowered. And this pretty much confirms my theory.The God wants us to build the SCP Foundation.And he wants to throw SCPs into Marvel once we're ready.

[Julius]:Or once he gets bored again.

[Alexandra]:Exactly why we need to prepare fast.

I felt a shiver of anticipation.

With Flash Forge and my strategist ability…With their gifts…

We could reshape the ancient world.We could build the greatest organization in human history.We could be stronger than SHIELD, HYDRA, Wakanda, and Kamar-Taj combined.

[Alexandra]:Alright, everyone.We meet in ten minutes through system projection.And then…We decide how to conquer the world before the SCPs arrive.

The others went silent, processing.

And then:

[Julius]:Let's begin, Alexandra.

I smiled.

"Oh, we will."
