MARVEL: BUYING GODHOOD

After dying in the dumbest way imaginable—ignoring a warning sign and falling onto an unexploded bomb—Chris receives a second chance. With only one hundred reincarnation points and a strong desire to avoid ending up in Warhammer 40,000, he chooses the Marvel Universe and creates a custom system inspired by Rimuru Tempest's evolution tree. There's only one catch. The system grants no powers. No Great Sage. No Predator. No Magicules. Nothing. Every ability must be purchased. With money. Reborn as Chris Sterling, the sole heir to a forty-billion-dollar mining empire, he quickly discovers that being rich and being wealthy enough for the system are two very different things. In a world of superheroes, aliens, gods, and mad scientists, Chris will need to turn business, resources, and industry into power. After all... Why fight for godhood when you can buy it?
