We begin our journey with our protagonist currently stuck in a bind.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
'I knew working a job sucks but this is horrible, inhumane, downright demonic'
Alex thought to himself 'after living a thoroughly mediocre life, neverhaving anything putting effort into, having no passion or interests, and having no bitches. Now i need to wake up in the morning, get ready, go to work and come back after 10 hours of exhausting work to stare at my phone for 1 hour and fall asleep just to repeat the cycle and wait for the next weekend, for what, i don't even have any aspirations or dreams'.
'Is this all there is to my life' *sigh* "not like i get to complain" he told himself with some awareness.
Truth being told Alex was actually fortunate, having loving and responsible parents, having long term friends, having a mind sharp enough to go through life without ever really putting in the effort and being from a middle class house never needing to worry about starving or lacking support.
But Alex is unfortunately a classic midwit. Smater than average but not smart enough, able to work hard but never truly locking in, self-aware enough to recognize his own failures but not doing anything about that, the classic spiral of mediocrity.
'Why are these recent fanfics so boring, i need an escape even if only in my imagination' Alex thought scrolling through some fanfics."man when is my time gonna come, i want to be isekai'ed too".
Immediately he sat up straight in his bus seat, "WITH A CHEAT, God/Rob or anyone listening i don't want to jinx it, i mean i want to be isekai'ed with cheats".
Truly our protagonist has lost himself deep in delusions.
*honk* *break*
The bus stops at the station and Alex gets off the bus, as he's crossing the road a truck comes barreling down the road at full speed. Our delutional protagonist doesn't even try to move our of the way and stands straight with his arms open.
"Finally my turn" *bang**CRASH*
That should have been the end of the cardinal of mediocrity but as it turns out someone is always listening and something is actually out there.
(3 million years later in the void of the Omniverse)
"What is this, a soul, hmmm, A MORTAL SOUL, out here? How?" A great being exclaimed.
"All the other gods were talking about their own avatars and champions causing chaos in their names, entertaining them and empowering them, i should do the same, what was it they said i can't remember, hmmm, oh... I GRANT THEE THY DEEPEST WHISHES"
The Great but careless being immediately felt the drain on his divine reserves.
"OH I FORGOT TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS, JUST WHAT DID THIS GREEDY MORTAL WISH FOR, MY RESERVES...Hmmm, what was i doing? I guess it doesn't matter, anyway"
The Great but forgetful being went on his merry way unaware of what he unleashed on the entire omniverse.

(In the Marvel Comics × MCU-AU)
"Ay....AY....AYO WAKE UP"
Alex woke up with a jolt, in front of his stood a black homeless man it seems.
"What's a pretty boy like you doing on my turf, this is my back alley, that is my bed" Said the homeless man with a annoyed expression.
Alex looks around and find himself in a black alley lying on a rotting old mattress, being questioned by a bum.
"Did you not hear me you fag, if you wanna lay on my mattress you need to pay me rent"
The bum told sam while suddenly grabbing his ass.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Alex yelled as he pushes away the bum and ran off, the homeless man flew back and banged against the garbage can hard and got knocked out. But Alex kept running in the opposite direction.
Alex confused and anxious ran out the alley, only to see something he couldn't believe.
'So many white people, so many balck people, i have never seen so many foreigners in a single place' he thought to himself in surprise. 'Wait where am i? Am i in a foreign country? How did i get here?'
His questions were answered but it was the last thing he would suspect, as he looked up at a billboard it advertised the latest smartphone from Stark industries.
'Wait is this some weird promotion from Disney, that car's logo is also Stark, what'
Alex tried to thing back to the last thing he remembers 'I was in a bus, a truck came at full speed, I didn't move for some reason and I remember a light ,it was warm and comforting'.
'I think that was god, I was an atheist before but that feeling can only be god, man i didn't even get to talk to Morgan freeman or anyone, lord God just understood me and knew what i wanted, i think. So this must be the real marvel universe, i was dismissive before but for some reason i know in my core that no one can replicate a higher being like that, so i have really been given my greatest wish.'
*clap* "Thankyou lord Truck-sama for granting my wish" he said aloud.
People looked at him for a second then went about their day.
"Wait, what about my cheat? Lord please don't curse me with isekai without a cheat" Alex said in a panic looking unhinged.
Alex remembered the feeling of lord Truck-sama's warmth embracing him (it was actually ROB), and granting him something, something he wished for, but what did he wish for?
'Let me sort out my whereabouts before anything else' he decided.
Ignoring all the people Alex went to another dump and pick up thown out newspapers.
'So it's 2011 and I'm in New York, makes sense newspapers are still popular and New York is basically the nexus point of marvel. Stark is Ironman as always and fantastic 4 exist, even some fear mongering about mutants is there, so a mix-marvel verse with all the charaters are younger both stark and fantastic 4 are in their late 20s.
The level of technology in many regards roughly around 10 years in the future as i can see the ad for 5G internet.' He assumed based on what he could gather.
'How do MCs in fanfic know how to get rich and get a fake ID, i have no idea who to talk to. I could rob bad guys but i don't know my cheat yet, although my body feels light and agile and my mind is very sharp and clear, so it might be superhuman body all around, but i need to test it out to make sure.'
He then saw an ad for Stark expo happening on 16 September, but he didn't knew what day it was today.
"Maam can you tell me what is the date?" He asker a passerby.
The lady swiftly turned to looked at him with her face scrunched as if she was annoyed but a second after she looked at him she smiled and answered "today is September 12 sweety".
Alex was a bit surprised by her attitude, he already had many bad experiences with trying to talk to women and he also knew people in New York especially don't like being bothered. 'Maybe i just found a nice lady, though why did she call me sweety', he turned to look at the lady again and found her walking away while still staring at him.
'Is something wrong with me, why is she staring' he assumed as he was not used to getting attention.
'I don't feel particularly hungry so i should look for somewhere to live temporarily', he then was a bit confused on where to go and what to do in his situation.
A stranger actually came walking towards him and said," hey man, you look a bit lost, maybe i can help". Alex thought 'Wow another kind stranger in New York, it must be my lucky day'.
"Thank you sir, i can't seem to remember anything except my name, i am very confused on what i should do or where i should go" he made an unoriginal backstory.
The helpful man was tall and buff and had an air of confidence around him, he looked at Alex with sympathetic eyes and said "don't worry I'll help you out, why don't you come with me to my house we'll eat some food and you can stay at my place temporarily"
Alex got bit of a whiplash with how helpful this man was being, too helpful, suspiciously helpful.... but he couldn't think of anything better so he agreed,"that is so thoughtful, my name is Alex mr..", "I'm James wright, feel free to ask for anything" he said as he gave Alex a big smile.
(Alex is a midwit by design, if you think that there is an obvious thing this idiot didn't think of, it's most likely by design please be patient.
Please read the tags and the description and remember that this is my first fic. English is not my first language and i don't use any AI.
Can you guess atleast one of his wishes out of four? I'll upload all his cheats after chapter 3 in auxiliary.)
