"What the hell? Where is this?"
Feeling the gunshots, Marcus was filled with fear.
What the hell—gunshots!
Sorcerers are frail!
This was definitely a bad start.
'Could the Ancient One have known I'd be in danger going down the mountain? Is that why she wouldn't let me go?'
Sure enough, while he was still dazed, two heavily armed soldiers rounded the corner.
The submachine guns in their hands exuded intense murderous intent.
"Damn it!"
Marcus grabbed his Sling Ring, ready to cast a portal and leave!
"This way!"
"Boom!"
"Pff!"
As soon as Marcus raised his hand, the soldier facing him decisively opened fire.
A tingling sensation instantly spread through Marcus's body.
"What the hell? Is this an anesthetic?"
Marcus wobbled, about to fall.
'The Ancient One never let me go down the mountain—was it because she foresaw this danger? Did she know I'd have problems as soon as I stepped out?'
He had run away quietly today, only to encounter this horrible situation the moment he arrived.
Guns! Narcotics!
How did I come to such a dangerous place?
"Step aside!"
At that moment, a roar came from behind him.
A man wearing a vest, with three terrifying and sharp long claws on each hand, rushed past.
"Wolverine?"
Marcus's already confused head became even more muddled.
'How did I meet Wolverine? What the hell is this?'
"Ahhh~~~"
Wolverine charged forward, and Marcus staggered, leaning against him.
The two soldiers saw Wolverine and immediately shot at him.
"Psst!"
"Psst!"
Wolverine faced the opponent's bullets, and the sharp claws on both hands penetrated the soldiers' bodies.
"Ah~~"
Painful self-healing kicked in. Wolverine growled.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Marcus, who was leaning against the wall in civilian attire, Wolverine pointed his sharp claws at him.
"I... I'm from... Kamar-Taj. Be careful!"
Before the confused Marcus could properly introduce himself, two more people rounded the corner.
They raised their guns and fired another round at Logan.
This time, the magazines were loaded with live ammunition!
Logan didn't sense any danger from Marcus at the moment, so he stood in front of him, blocking all the bullets.
But under the impact of the shots, his body kept retreating and finally leaned against Marcus.
[Ding! Detected Wolverine's Self-healing Ability. Pick up and bind?]
The moment Wolverine touched Marcus, the system sounded again!
"Yes!"
[Binding Wolverine Ability: Self-healing!]
A strange force spread through Marcus's body.
He had been slightly dazed from the anesthetic, but his head gradually cleared up.
Self-healing!
"This is gradually consuming and repelling those medicinal effects! This is a skill I've fantasized about countless times! Holy hell, I was right to leave Kamar-Taj. As soon as I left, I learned another skill! And a crucial one at that!"

Looking at the system introduction, a smile appeared on Marcus's face. He had obtained the Self-healing Ability, and his lifespan was increased to 888 years!
This was simply incredible!
One clip of ammunition for the two soldiers was quickly exhausted.
While the opponents were reloading, Wolverine Logan swooped and stabbed the two soldiers to death.
"No matter where you're from, leave now."
Wolverine Logan nodded a warning, then headed away. Today, he was going to start a killing spree! Today, more people had to be saved!
With Wolverine's departure, Marcus also intended to leave.
It was too dangerous here!
"Ah!!!"
But at that moment, a terrifying scream directly pierced through all the rooms.
The horrific lethality made it impossible for Marcus to focus and cast the spell to open the portal!
Hearing the dreadful sound and seeing the current battle, Marcus finally understood what was going on.
The plot of the old X-Men!
Stryker's attack on Professor X's school!
In this raid, many Mutants were being captured. They were attacking here only to get to Professor X's Cerebro brain-wave machine!
Later, to save everyone, Jean falls into the water at Alkali Lake, eventually losing control of the Phoenix Force.
I've traveled to the Marvel world, and it's connected to the X-Men's worldview?
Marcus now seemed to understand something crucial.
At this moment, the piercing, terrifying cry finally stopped.
Marcus shook his head, finally recovering a little.
He got up and ran toward the direction Wolverine had come from.
There must be Mutants over there!
Turning down a long corridor, he saw a group of Mutants.
The leader was none other than Colossus (Piotr Rasputin)!
They were urgently rushing toward a secret passage.
"Hey, this way!"
Marcus looked at the group, grabbed the Sling Ring, and instantly opened a portal.
On the other side of the portal was Kamar-Taj!
"Who are you?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Marcus and the portal emitting yellow sparks, everyone was worried.
"I'm a Sorcerer from Kamar-Taj! Everyone, leave!"
Colossus stepped through the portal first. He looked around the other side—a place he had never seen before—and found no danger there.
"Come here, there's no danger here!"
Hearing Colossus, a group of young Mutants hurried toward the portal.
But this momentary delay allowed a group of soldiers to rush over.
When they saw the portal, they shot without a word!
Their target was Marcus, the spellcaster!
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
"Careful!"
Colossus watched the horror unfold from the other side of the portal.
