MARVEL: GAMER PATH - CHAPTER 123 (Patreon)

[The Ancient One POV]

I looked at the woman in front of me that said to be named Alice Walker and found myself at a loss for words, was she a time traveler? Was she Alex’s daughter?

“Hello,” Alice waved at me, “Home to the bald one,”

Regaining my composure, I looked at her, and asked, “What is your relationship with Mr. Walker?”

Alice smiled, and with a shy tone replied, “I’m his daughter,”

His daughter, meaning the only choice is time travel, unless Mr Walker is older than he preaches to be.

“And… you’re my mom,” Alice added, and just like that my brain stopped functioning properly.

My… no, it couldn’t be, Mr Walker while attractive it’s a child for me, I wouldn’t… or would I?

As I had an internal meltdown, about the what ifs of this situation, Alice started to laugh.

“Hahahahah, I can’t… that was too good,” Alice cried in joy, tears overflowing her eyes.

“I… you pranked me,” I glared at her, relieved it was all a prank.

“I did, I’m a bad girl, grr,” Alice winked, taking a seat on the ground, “I am Alex, from a different timeline, a variant of him… a bootleg copy of what he is,” she added with a smile.

“Another timeline?” I asked.

“Yes,” Alice nodded, “You see, the moment he came to be into this universe, the multiverse sensed his birth, or… for the better word, his rebirth, and tried to restore balance, after all, singularities are not a thing the universe likes,”

And by trying to restore balance, the multiverse created versions of Alex to fill the hole his appearance into this universe created.

It made sense, on a multiverse scale, but… still, something was off.

“You are a result of that,” I replied, studying her.

“Bingo!” Alice giggled, “I am one of the many though, arguably the most sexy,”

“That explains your existence, but not why you are out of your own universe,” I replied.

“Well,” Alice hummed, index fingers pressed upon her lips, “Alex, me, and the others are not supposed to exist, and we are hunted for it, at least his variants are,”

“Hunted by whom?” I asked, if Alex had an enemy that could kill versions of him, I had to prepare.

“By the TVA, in the present they don’t exist, but in the future they do, it’s… a complicated matter that involves a lot of the time traveling trope, the point is they erase timelines that don’t play in their great scheme and stuff, and well, timelines with Alex or his variants like mine, don’t play by their rules,” Alice replied, her tone becoming so hostile, so angry, I could palpate the bloodlust in the air.

“How long till they come here?” I asked, I had after to prepare.

“Hmm,” Alice hummed, the hostility she was emanating gone, “Don’t know, but I don’t think they will come though,”

“And why is that?” I asked.

“This timeline is shrouded by someone way above their pay grade, they will never find it, they know it exists, but that’s about as much as they know,” Alice replied with a sigh, her shoulders relaxing.

She was glad to be out of their reach, that much was sure.

“I see,” I sighed, summoning a cup of tea, before offering her, “Want one?”

“Sure, why not,” Alice smiled, taking the cup.

“So, now that we know each other better, can I ask you another question,” I smiled, summoning Emily’s handmade cup of tea to drink mine.

“Go ahead,” Alice nodded.

“In what regard you needed my help?” I asked and she laughed.

“Nothing too hard really, just helping me break the needs to the original,” Alice sighed, “I have no idea how to, so… help me? Pleeeease?”

“Sure, I can help,” After I confirm all you said that is, while the multiverse is something we know frighteningly little, I was not one to take anyone's word as a fact.

[Morgan Le Fay POV]

Trapped with Dormammu back again, I guess in a way I deserved this. My own hubris had become my outdoing, and well, here I am.

“You belong to me, Witch,” Dormammu hissed, looking at me.

“Well that would be sexy if you had a dick,” I sighed, to which he electrocuted me.

“Remember your place,” Dormammu roared.

“I’m sorry,” I replied in pain.

“Now… about the main problem of your escape,” Dormammu hissed, floating around me, in a menacing way.

I hate this, once again I was powerless, and all because of that bitch.

“My escape, that’s cute… you let me leave,” I replied with a hiss, only to be electrocuted again.

“I did, yes… but then… you stepped out of line, and instead of doing what I asked you to do, you found that wretched book of yours, using its magic to break our deal, and worst of all, you tried to brainwash that man, a man that is NOT YOURS TO COMMAND!” Dormammu was angry I wanted Alex what the fuck was going on?!

“Jealous I can actually get him?” I sneered, I was going to die anyway, so I might as well mess with the big guy, “All that power and my tits can do much more,”

As expected, he electrocuted me once again, this time to the point I started to bleed uncontrollably.

“That man, it’s out of reach… unless he actively opposes me, I have no need to fight his kind,” Dormammu growled.

“His kind?” I snorted, my eyes bleeding. “Are you really that afraid of humans?”

To my surprise, instead of electrocuting meDormammu laughed, which unnerved me more than being electrocuted.

“Human? He’s not human you stupid worm,” Dormammu replied, still laughing.

[Alex Walker POV]

I was in love.

In love with the power stone.

In dungeons, it had a skill to one shot all the mobs below my level in a given area, quite literally I could do dungeons barely below my level and finish them in one second.

Just this past hourI had done over forty dungeons.

In short the power stone was the next best thing that had ever happened to me since Emily and Nat.

“I will forever hold you, my precious,” I said, doing my best to imitate Gollum.
