Alex felt a strange sensation like he was floating between dreams and reality. As he slowly woke up, he heard a mechanical voice echoing in his head. It was a bit disorienting, but he managed to focus on the words.
[Congratulations on transmigrating to The Marvel Universe][The Gamer System has been unlocked][You can check the newbie gift package from the inventory]
Alex was excited to hear that, but before he could say anything, a flood of memories filled his mind.
"Argh… what is this?" he asked, confused about why memories of someone with the same face and name as him were suddenly invading his mind.
He saw the memories of the previous Alex Glory growing from a baby into a man. He saw how that Alex wasted his entire life doing drugs and chasing after women. He saw how his father died in an accident. And he saw the last moments before Alex Glory died yesterday due to a drug overdose.
[These are the memories of the previous Alex Glory who died yesterday night and whose body was taken over by you.]
Before Alex could ask anything, a knock came on his door.
KNOCK… KNOCK
"Who is it?"
"It's Ava, sir. Are you okay? I heard you screaming."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't come inside. Prepare something to eat," said Alex.
"Yes, sir," replied Ava, knowing full well the personality of her boss.
"Sir, I was told to inform you that Madam will be coming to visit you today," Ava added, informing him about his mother's arrival.
"Okay. Thank you for informing," replied Alex.
"N-No problem, sir," said Ava before rushing toward the kitchen.
After contemplating everything for a long time, Alex sighed. "Let's see… I am Alex Glory, the son of the late Max Glory and Lily Carter, and the current heir to the Glory Conglomerate—which includes automobile, finance, pharma, production houses, banks, and other companies. I'm basically a waste who always parties, does drugs, and indulges in carnal pleasures. I never visited the company after my father died. Currently, my mother takes care of everything. I have never done any physical work and haven't gone to college."
He was jealous of the previous Alex for having such a good life yet wasting it, while he himself had to become a mercenary due to harsh circumstances. He vowed to fulfill everything he ever wanted in this life and not waste it. He was always fascinated by the concept of a harem and wanted one for himself, and he would fulfill that in this life. Never again would he lose loved ones.
"Okay, so can you explain your functions?" Alex asked.
[The system has a currency of its own called System Points (SP), which are used to buy things from the store. You can earn them by completing quests.]
[Status: allows you to see your stats as numbers along with various information. A perk of being a gamer. Can be integrated with the Eye of Gamer.]
[Store: You can buy anything using SP.]
[Inventory: Can store non-living things. Since you have authority over space, you can increase its capacity.]
[Quests: You receive quests at various times. Completing them gives rewards, while failing results in punishment. Higher-level quests give higher rewards.]
[Gacha: A rip-off of the roulette wheel of destiny. Consumes 1000 SP per draw or can use a gacha token. Tokens can be acquired from gifts and quests. Results depend on host's luck.]
[You can see any function after calling its name. Try saying 'Status'.]
"Status," Alex said out loud.

"Hmm… okay, I understand everything. But why do I have my alias from my previous life as a sub-class?"
[Host has gained the sub-class due to your affinity toward darkness and your past deeds.]
"How can I get information about my skills and authorities?"
[You just need to think about it and information will appear in your mind.]
After receiving all the information, Alex felt like he could mold space around himself, travel anywhere, and control it. He felt a close connection to darkness and shadows. But the most powerful authority was Absolute Corruption, the ability to corrupt anyone with a touch. And the strongest skill was Absolute Copy, which could replicate any skill or authority as long as he met certain conditions.
"Hmm… hey system, is there a way to get stronger?"
[Host can get stronger by training and completing quests. You gain stats faster than anyone else thanks to the Gamer class.]
"Oh yeah, completely forgot about that. Inventory," Alex called out.
[Inventory]
Servant {customizable}
One newbie gift package
"Open gift package."
[Opening gift package…][Congratulations on receiving 2 gacha tokens][Congratulations on receiving 1000 SP][Congratulations on receiving the skill: Bestow]

"System, use two gacha tokens."
[Drawing lottery…][Congratulations on receiving:]
10 Mid-level Healing Pills (can restore broken bones and ruptured organs)
Morph Weapon (a weapon bound to you that can transform into any weapon; no one else can wield it)
Alex felt a surge of energy flow through him as he bonded with the weapon using his blood. It immediately felt like an extension of his own body.
After playing with his new weapon, Alex remembered he still had a servant to customize.
"Let's see… receive servant," he said in his mind, and a blank human-like figure appeared before him.
"Hey system, what do I do with this? And does it even have a gender?" Alex asked, staring at the smooth, blank figure.
[The servant is of a rare category. The host must customize it to your liking and then feed it your blood.]
"Hmm, let's see. Gender will obviously be female. Her three sizes will be… hmm… perfect. Done."
"What next? Talent and personality… Loves me from all her heart and will never betray me. Only has me in her heart. Reliable ally, not a slave. Talented in short-distance combat. Stats… and done."
After finishing, Alex fed her a drop of his blood.
"Why is it not waking up?" Alex asked.
[Wait for a minute, host.]
Suddenly, the figure rose and kneeled before him.
"Thank you for giving me life, master," she said.
