Kamar-Taj.
Inside the cultivation chamber.
A sorcerer was lecturing at the front.
"A portal—what matters most is communicating with the natural energy within this universe."
"Focus your will. Don't let the outside world interfere."
…
"Alright. Any questions?"
"If you're confused about anything, you can ask."
After speaking, the sorcerer gently looked toward Karl.
There was encouragement in his eyes.
Karl couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He understood exactly what this sorcerer named Aldrich-sensei meant.
He wanted him to ask the questions he should be asking.
Because in Kamar-Taj…
Someone like him—someone who had studied for three years and still couldn't even learn the most basic portal—was really rare.
No.
You could say he was one of a kind.
Back then, the other apprentice sorcerers who entered at the same time as him—some of them had even become full-fledged sorcerers and had begun protecting Earth.
But Karl was still learning the most basic courses.
Every day, he listened to lectures, then practiced with everyone else, drawing circles in midair, hoping to master the portal.
After three whole years, Karl still hadn't learned the portal.
That made quite a few sorcerers in Kamar-Taj dissatisfied, feeling he was taking up a slot and wasting it.
Most people were kind, but there were still a small number who rolled their eyes at him every day.
"I'm about to restart for the ten-thousandth time…"
"What kind of life have these three years been?"
"Can this system even draw me something decent?"
"Don't tell me it's going to be three years, then three more years!"
Karl sighed in his heart.
A transparent screen appeared across his retina.
[System cooldown complete.]
[Can re-draw (10/10)]
…
[Miracle Life System—giving you a completely different life]
[Today's draw chances have refreshed. Draw now?]
Seeing the system, Karl finally felt a bit more energized.
That's right.
He was a transmigrator.
He'd gone to sleep, and when he woke up, he found himself in the Marvel world—now an apprentice sorcerer in Kamar-Taj.
The Marvel world…
Was an extremely dangerous world.
Godlike beings were everywhere, and cheaters were as common as dogs.
An ordinary person could die at any moment in this world.
Any time a superhero took down a villain, nobody knew how many people would die in the process.
Not to mention—
When the Hulk rampaged through New York, an entire street's worth of people died. That alone showed how dangerous this world was.
Kamar-Taj was already one of the safest places.
But Karl knew…
A few years later, Kamar-Taj wouldn't be safe either.
The Sorcerer Supreme's disciple would betray them and turn to the dark demon Dormammu.
When that time came—when he attacked the three Sanctums—whether it was official sorcerers or even great sorcerers like Wong, they would fall.
Not to mention a mere apprentice sorcerer like him, who was barely stronger than a normal person.
Fortunately…
When he transmigrated, he had bound a system.
He could keep restarting, drawing anything from across the myriad heavens and worlds.
Talents, items, cultivation methods, and so on.
Knowing how dangerous the Marvel world was, Karl naturally wasn't willing to draw something ordinary and struggle to survive here.
If he wanted to be invincible in this world, then he needed to draw the strongest things.
Whenever he drew something that didn't satisfy him, he would give up.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
Three years.
He hadn't drawn a single top-tier treasure.
It made Karl smile bitterly at his absurdly bad luck.
"Please let me draw something good this time."
"If it's another three years like this and I get kicked out of Kamar-Taj, I'll really become a joke."
Karl took a deep breath.
"System—draw!"
In front of him, colorful light flashed.
Ten cards of different colors appeared before him.
White, blue, purple—nine cards were those three colors.
Which meant these weren't anything good.
But the final card—
Made Karl's eyes widen sharply.
That card was actually rainbow-colored!
Karl, who had long since figured the system out completely, felt a surge of excitement.
Rainbow!
That meant god-tier!!
[Ten-pull complete!]
[Draw results as follows.]
[Ninjutsu: Fire Release]
[Sword Twenty-Three]
…
He skipped over the worthless things in front and fixed his gaze directly on the rainbow card.
[God-Tier Talent!]
A god-tier talent could grant an incomparable gift.
No matter what you learned, you could learn it quickly—and it would produce critical hits, letting magic reach unbelievable heights.
Anything you learned could be used freely, and you could even develop stronger variations.
It could turn him into the strongest genius in the world!
It was insanely powerful!
Karl was so excited that if he weren't in the cultivation chamber, he might have jumped up and cheered on the spot!
Three years!
How hard had his life been these past three years!
But today—
Everything had finally paid off!
He had drawn a god-tier talent!!
"It's finally here!!"
Karl's heart pounded.
This system really was unbeatable.
He could barely wait.
[Draw complete!]
[Claim reward?]
"Yes!"
Karl answered without hesitation in his mind.
In an instant—
The rainbow card flared brilliantly.
For a moment, his mind was filled with mysterious, rainbow-hued radiance, as if countless runes were being engraved into his body.
Karl instantly felt—
Everything was different.
The entire world seemed completely changed.
Magical theory that he couldn't understand at all before—now he understood with unbelievable ease.
"God-tier talent… this is insane!"
He even felt that he only needed to wave his hand, and magic would naturally take shape.
At that moment—
Aldrich-sensei's voice rang out again.
"Alright. That's all for today's lesson."
"Everyone try it yourselves. See if you can use the portal—this basic spell."
"If you can use it, that means you've entered the basics."
Aldrich-sensei looked gently at the apprentices below.
Even though he said that—
He didn't actually think these apprentices could succeed.
These were all newly arrived apprentice sorcerers.
They'd only been learning the basics for a few days, and the only exception was someone who still hadn't entered the basics after three years.
Thinking of that, Aldrich-sensei looked toward Karl.
Seeing how focused he was, Aldrich-sensei couldn't help shaking his head.
He had watched this kid enter Kamar-Taj. He worked hard every day, and Aldrich-sensei often gave him extra help.
Unfortunately, his talent was just a bit too poor.
There was nothing Aldrich-sensei could do.
For Karl to use a portal anytime soon was absolutely impossible.
"I should keep a closer eye on this kid in the future…"
Aldrich-sensei shook his head again.
"Hm??"
"This kind of fluctuation?"
Aldrich-sensei suddenly looked up.
And then he saw—
Karl's hands moving.
Golden sparks spun continuously in midair.
In the blink of an eye—
A golden portal had already formed in front of Karl.
[Ding!]
[Detected host is learning portal magic! God-tier talent triggers a 100x critical hit]
[You have mastered magic—High-Tier Portal!]
The system notification sounded, and Karl's face filled with joy.
Aldrich-sensei, meanwhile, stared in shock.
What the hell?!
A kid who couldn't learn magic for three years—actually succeeded?!
And this portal… it didn't look ordinary at all.
What is going on?
This shouldn't be happening!!
Just like the apprentice sorcerers around him—
Aldrich-sensei was completely stunned.
