Problems and Solutions - Marvel: A World of Chaos

Ronan sighed as his life seemed to only get worse despite the supposed good luck he had. He looked around at the hooligans who seemed so certain that he would give them what they wanted. However, he had a plan. He was pretty sure it would work, too. It might be kind of stupid, but it wasn't terrible.

While he had been thinking, the thugs had gotten a little impatient and they closed in, saying, "Hey did you hear what I said. Empty out your pockets!"

With that, Ronan put his plan into action. He burst forward, pushing through the two in the front who tried to block his escape. Then he quickly turn mid run and dropped his tank. It fell, crushing the four who were all grouped around the bench or running towards him. He quickly banished it back to his inventory, but the damage had already been done. The four were fully squished along with what remained of the bench.

Silver Feat Achieved! Take your first life. 1 Silver Ticket awarded!

Gold Feat Achieved! Take your first life while remaining uninjured with no help. 1 Gold Trait Ticket awarded!

4 x Bronze Feat Achieved! Take a life while remaining uninjured. 4 Bronze Skill Tickets awarded!

Ronan saw the bodies on the ground and held his gaze there. This was what he must get used to. The world was messy, but he had decided on the path to power. These men had decided to take from him, and he had responded. He turned around and walked home. All the while, he felt a growing numbness spread through his mind.

On the walk, he thought through other options he could have chosen. He could have tried to talk, but he had no idea what would happen. This was New York. No one ever had the nice thing happen to them in New York.

As Ronan thought through what he planned to do in the future if he could, and settled on what he would do from now on. If someone were kind to him, then he would return their kindness tenfold. If someone were cruel, then they would not live to regret it. Mercy was a luxury, not a moral imperative. His mind was settled, and he had finally made it back to his sh*thole apartment, so it was time to find out his awards, beginning with the four bronze awards.

[Adept Driving]

|Rare Skill|

You are as skilled as a veteran driver, being able to handle any vehicle with familiarity and ease. If you participate in a race, chances are you will embarrass the competition.

Now that was a nice skill. Not that he had a car, but he could afford it now. Next.

[Adept Kama Sutra]

|Rare Skill|

You are very talented in the carnal art, being able to spot signs of arousal and attraction, in addition, you instinctively know how to pleasure your partner in bed and be a very pleasant recipient, enhancing pleasure for both of you.

Okay then. That should be fun. Next.

[Novice Mechanics]

|Common Skill|

You are as skilled as a mechanic apprentice, you know how to fix basic appliances and maybe even a car when provided with the right tools. You will, however, improve much faster than other people if you choose to train yourself.

Useful, but not exactly what he was looking for. Next, the last of the Bronze Tickets.

[Novice Performance]

|Common Skill|

You know how to put in a performance. You are able to play all musical instruments enough to play basic songs, you can also sing decently, you can dance without tripping. You would fit right in with a high school band.

Nothing great. Onto the Silver ticket.

[Lightning Absorption]

|Rare Ability|

Allows you to absorb electricity and lightning and store it inside your body. You can convert absorbed lightning into energy to refill your reserves or channel it to increase your power or use it as an attack.

Now this ability was supernatural. The luck power was weird, but not truly supernatural. It was also his only ability. He wasn't sure how to use it yet, but he could probably try grabbing his phone charger. In fact, he would try it now.

So, he walked over to the wall outlet where his charger was and held the end of it. Then he closed his eyes and focused on his ability. Nothing happened for a while until he suddenly felt a jolt of electricity go into his hand and some of his tiredness disappear. Then over time, he felt more and more of his tiredness disappear. He let go of the charger and returned to the final and greatest of his tickets, the gold trait ticket.

[Blessing of Hestia]

|Rare Trait|

You are a child blessed by Hestia, the goddess of Hearth. You have resistance to all mental effects and negative ailments. Your body is way healthier and people feel more comfortable around you due to the natural aura you have around you.

A general enhancement to his social life and personal health. In fact, he could feel it now. He just felt a subtle buzz of energy and life. He hadn't changed much, it seemed; he just felt better. He had no idea that it was possible to be in a mood this good, but Ronan wasn't complaining. He opened up his character sheet to check where exactly he was at.

Ronan looked at his status and determined that all of the new skills that he had received were either useless for now or difficult to figure out what to do. For now, his best bet was to get involved in selling things like his Aerolite bars. In fact, he could probably sell them to some sort of materials company or to some billionaire. Perhaps that Tony Stark fellow. How he would get that to happen, he wasn't sure. For now, his best option was to go to the address that Wong had given him to see what was happening over there.
