Chapter 5 - The Strike Against the Throne
Luka ran toward the dock.
When he arrived, he faced several armed thugs. He went in stealth mode and defeated them one by one until…
The boss appeared, the Kingpin appeared…
New York Dock – 2:43 AM
The sound of the sea hitting the pillars mixed with the distant crack of gunfire.
Luka moved like a shadow between the containers — his black hood concealed him, his eyes glowing red.
One by one, the henchmen fell before they even realized what hit them.
Until the silence was broken by a heavy, deep sound.
Footsteps.
From the fog emerged a massive man — a monolith of muscles clad in a white suit.
Wilson Fisk. The Kingpin.
— "So, it's you… the boy who thinks he can clean my city."
The voice sounded like contained thunder.
Luka adjusted his gloves and replied with a half-smile:
— "Wrong city, big guy. This one already has an owner."
The Kingpin struck first — a punch strong enough to bend steel. Luka dodged instinctively, the air exploding behind him as the fist smashed the container and crumpled it like paper.
The boy spun, delivering two quick kicks to the giant's abdomen. Nothing.
Fisk grabbed Luka by the arm and threw him several meters away. The hero crashed through a pile of crates, rolled on the ground, and stood up, spitting blood.
— "You've got guts, I'll admit… but guts don't beat monsters."
Luka clenched his fists.
Electricity began to dance around his body. Sparks ran across his fingers, the air heated up — and his gaze became that of a predator.
He charged forward.
The sound of each impact echoed across the dock. Fire and lightning enveloped his punches, shockwaves cracked the ground. The Kingpin blocked, but the pressure pushed him further and further back.
Fisk roared, trying a counterattack, but Luka ducked and launched a devastating sequence:
An electric uppercut to the chin.
A spinning kick wrapped in flames.
And finally, a headbutt charged with pure brute force.
The giant staggered, blood dripping from his lip.
— "You… are not human." — Fisk muttered, gasping.
Luka gave a half-smile, breathing deeply.
— "I'm human enough to take you down."
He channeled all remaining energy into his hands — fire, wind, and electricity mixed into a blazing aura.
The ground trembled beneath his feet.
Then he ran.
A flash cut through the night as Luka leapt, cutting through the air like a red-and-gold comet.
The impact hit like thunder — his fist struck the Kingpin's chest, sending him crashing into the asphalt with enough force to crack it for meters.
The mobster's body remained motionless.
Rain began to fall.
Luka stood there, catching his breath, the hood covering half his face. Steam rose from his shoulders, and the distant sound of sirens approached.
He looked at the fallen opponent and muttered hoarsely:
— "Tell hell… the Red Hood sends his regards."
And he vanished into the shadows before the police arrived.
That night would mark the beginning of a legend.
Returning home, the system appeared and announced:

SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT:
> "Congratulations, Luka Alves.
You surpassed the limits of an apprentice and made the city tremble.
The true Red Hood is born —
and the world is now watching you."
Luka took a deep breath, still sore from the battle, and looked at the floating holographic panel.
The blue glow expanded and the system announced:
---
[TOTAL GACHA – ACTIVATED!]
> "You have 1,000 Gacha points.
Do you want to roll 10x?"
Luka raised an eyebrow, smiled slightly, and said:
— "Roll Gacha."
The panel began spinning. Circles of energy swirled faster and faster — as if the universe itself were shuffling possibilities.
Golden and red lights exploded in the air.

Luka stared at the toothbrush and underwear with an indecipherable expression.
— "You're joking, right?"
The system replied coldly:
> "Random probability. Don't complain about luck."
Luka sighed and muttered:
— "Fine… but if I see Deadpool looking for his underwear, I'm jumping universes."
He stored the items, activated the Leon module, and smiled:
— "Combining Jason Todd with Leon Kennedy…
Now crime will need to pray."
Then Luka said: Open Status.
The holographic system screen opened and displayed:

Luka thought:
— "Not bad. My abilities are evolving, and I see that the maximum level might be 10, since it's very hard to evolve after level 7."
Luka walked and went to lie down; after all, it was already 3 AM…

POV – OSCORP
Norman Osborn sat at his desk, thinking about how that spider simply vanished. It made no sense, and if anyone stole that spider, he would find out and deal with them himself… otherwise, he wouldn't be Norman Osborn.
POV – Luka
Luka got up and walked to the bathroom to shower and brush his teeth. After a few hours, he left his room and went to the living room where, as usual, John was waiting.
— "Young master, are you well? You seem tired."
Luka smiled:
— "Better than ever. I'm super excited for today and have no issues now."
John nodded and continued:
— "Young master, after classes, you will go to Blackgate Enterprise with me to learn a bit about how it works."
Luka nodded:
— "Sure, but now I just want to go to school."
Soon they went to school, and Luka met his friends Peter and Gwen.
Luka walked through the halls with Peter and Gwen, exchanging jokes and comments about classes.
— "Dude, you'll love chemistry class," Peter said excitedly. "OSCORP is showing some crazy experiments."
— "Hope nothing explodes," Gwen laughed.
— "Relax, I can handle any mess," Luka replied with a smile under his hood.
At the moment the classroom door opened, everyone looked. An agile figure entered, with black hair and a teasing look. Luka immediately recognized her: Felicia. A small smile appeared under his mask; he clearly remembered their last encounter on the rooftops of New York.
The teacher introduced her, unaware of the silent tension:
— "This is Felicia. She will join our class today."
As Felicia walked to a seat, Luka observed every movement, every feline step. He muttered to himself:
— "So this is how you'll infiltrate my school… interesting."
She turned quickly, looking straight into his eyes, a slight playful smile on her lips, as if remembering their last fight. Luka averted his gaze, pretending casualness, but his heart beat a little faster.
— "At least now I'll have to hold back," Luka thought. "I don't want the teacher to see me trying to catch her again."
The class began, but her presence filled the room for him. Luka knew the Black Cat was not just a potential ally… she was a constant provocation he would love to face again — and in different ways.
