Transmigration by SMS: Earth 199999

Lucius Noctis is a broke, frustrated 23-year-old American with a bioengineering degree, stranded in France and watching his future disappear as job application after job application gets ignored. Then he receives a strange text from an unknown number asking him to choose a universe. Thinking it's just a joke, he answers—and asks for more than he should. Reality responds in the worst way possible. One message telling him to "check your left side" is all it takes to end his old life in blood, broken glass, and flames. When he wakes up, he's on Earth-199999—the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Armed with incredible new abilities and trapped in a system that values entertainment over fairness, Lucius quickly realizes that being a hero was never part of his story. He's ruthless, ambitious, and willing to cross any line if it means gaining more power, staying alive, and taking control. In a world filled with gods, monsters, and super soldiers, he'll chase dangerous upgrades and risky deals that could make him the hidden force behind history... or the greatest threat the MCU never saw coming. **Advanced chapters are available on the author's Patreon:** patreon.com/Usiel.
