11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19 – King James Bible

Some Adar come into the dungeon an just dropped a book into my altar.
The book, blazing with power to my mana sight fell into the bowl, triggering a prompt which I immediately opened.
Would you like to absorb:
Skill Book: Merchant Tongue (Northern Hemisphere: West)
Potential Skill Level: 10
Yes? No?
I didn’t hesitate for a moment after I read the title. I was finally going to learn how to talk to people properly.
Finally, I had an opportunity to learn the language. Who would have guessed that someone would just bring something that would teach it to me?
Honestly, if I had known I probably would have invested a lot of my attention elsewhere.
Oh well, not like I could do anything about it now.
The language washed over me in waves, each one drawing me deeper and deeper into a new world. A world of language and connections.
Time passed without notice, my whole world a torrent of knowledge.
Somewhere along the way I felt a brief instinctive acceptance and another language began to seep into my brain, the language of the Adar.
It was a language of secrets, the whole language built upon cyphers and changing context clues.
For a time, which I couldn’t measure, the whole world was lost to me.

Eventually I woke up, the insistent pinging of the system doing its best to play percussion in my head.

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!
