(Starting Perks): Human/Czarnians Hybrid Physiology: You are a Hybrid between a Human and an alien race known as The Czarnians. So you obviously inherited some of the unique traits of both species. You have enhanced physical strength, endurance, durability, and Regeneration thanks to your Czarnian DNA.
(LV 10 Perks): Eidetic memory: The power to remember and recall experiences and events inhumanly well. The Avatars can remember great volumes of information, in greater detail and for much longer than the average human, they can read books, listen to song lyrics, encounter people or experience events and recall a vast deal of the details of their experience. In addition, it takes less effort to recall the information they encounter, and they can remember it for longer without having to strain. Their memory is also more resilient against Memory Manipulation. (INT Buff multiplier x 0.50% )
(LV 35 Perks): Accelerated Perception: The power to perceive everything at an accelerated rate. The Avatar's mind and senses process information at such speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing them to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see/hear and respond accordingly. (INT Buff multiplier x 0.50% )
(LV 50 Perks):Meta-Learning: The ability to learn and master anything. The Avatars have the ability to learn, comprehend, and master anything. Unlike when copying or replicating something the user has to fully recognize and process the mechanics behind whatever they are choosing to learn. (INT Buff multiplier x 2)
(Lv 75 Perks): Psychometry: The power to perceive the residual information of an object and/or person. The Avatar user of psychometry obtains historical memories or sensations concerning beings and objects they observe. With objects, they gain knowledge including the makers, users, and even those who have in passing used the object, and what has been done with it. With living beings or parts of the body, the user learns their general life history but doesn't gain anything from what they were thinking or feeling. (INT Buff multiplier x 2)
(LV 100 Perks): Telepathy: The power to receive and transmit information with one's mind. The Avatar has telepathy, the ability to receive and transmit information with one's mind without physical interaction. However, many other mind-based abilities fall under telepathy due to those powers overlapping with the core concept of telepathy, allowing a telepath to interact with their own mind and the minds of others in a variety of ways.

I could not believe my very eyes as I looked at my STATS. I almost didn't believe that landing that final knockout blow on Doomsday would earn me that much XP. I thought I was going to level up a couple or even a dozen times but I wasn't expecting that massive jump from level 6 to level 108. My God, Now I have almost 1000 Skills Points in the system.
And I haven't even mentioned the Perks I gained from level-up. I mean no wonder my mind feels different when I woke up this morning. I woke up feeling My mind faster, sharper even, but then something happened. Out of nowhere there were
Many many Multiple voices all of the sudden assaulted my mind. It feels like there are thousands, even millions of voices speaking to me at the same time almost like the people are projecting their thoughts into my mind.
(Telepathy)
It was extremely overwhelming. I almost went mad but then I recall reading the X-Men comic and remember one specific character Jean Grey aka Marvel Girl aka Phoenix has experienced a similar situation. So, I tried to calm myself down, concentrate and meditate, and dwell into my own mind. Attempting to stop this madness.
One minute I was in the real world closing my eyes and meditating, the next I was suddenly in my own Mindscape and man…It looks like my old room At my Grandfather's place. I see my old bed with my gaming setup. Huh…so this is what my mindscape looks like and…my God the whole room looks like a 4chan user bedroom but instead of a mountain of Coke bottles and rotten stuff.
Instead, it looks like a mountain of photo albums with one album stacked on top of the other. But Surprisingly it looks neatly stacked together, upon picking up one of the photo albums and looking through it. It was a photo of my first time enlisting in the Royal Army and the…image was moving.
I shook my head, trying to focus on the present. I couldn't afford to get lost in my own mind right now. I needed to figure out what to do but then I noticed that there was another person in this room with me. I looked at the person who was sitting on the bed with their hand covering their ear like they heard something loud and piercing.
As I looked at them more closely, I realized that they looked like a younger version of myself. Suddenly Younger me then turned his head towards me and it was then that I realized once again without a doubt that this must be my subconscious and he looked like he was in pain right now. He looked at me with a pleading look on his face.
It was like he was…silently communicating with me. Telling me to make the voices in our heads stop, I took a deep breath and slowly approached my younger self, trying to find a way to help him. As I got closer and touched his shoulder the voices in my head grew louder and more chaotic, like a storm raging inside me.
"Hey, hey, it's okay lad," I said softly, trying to calm him down. "I'm here. I'm going to help you."
But my younger self just clutched his head tighter, the pain evident in his eyes. And then, without warning, the whole room erupted into what felt like a tornado with photo albums and debris flying all over the room. And the voice has only gotten worse.
With me and my subconscious hugging each other like we are trying to weather some terrible, terrible hurricanes. And I knew right there and now that I have to do something about this, I have to make the voices stop somehow, or we are going to be driven insane.
I needed to shield myself…I needed to control the voices. Then…I remember something, something that could help with the voice in our head, and that something is related to my stats, specifically my (WILL).
(WILL): Your willpower determines how well you can resist mental attacks or temptations.
I don't know if I could even pull up my own stats in my own head. But I have to try for the sake of our own sanity. I began to try to pull up the stats, and thank the system that it was able to pull through. The stats appear In front of me and I was able to quickly spend 80 Skills Points into my (WILL).
WILL = 20 + 80 = 100
Suddenly The voice in our head lesser and the storm inside us calmed down to just a whisper. There was still some noise, like a distant radio playing in the background, but it was…manageable to say at least. I turned to my younger self who had stopped clutching his head, looked up at me, and smiled in relief.
"See? I told you I would help," I said, ruffling his hair as he looked up at me with a small smile. "We're going to be okay."
My subconscious then waves his hand and all of a sudden the room slowly begins to reorganize itself. Huh…I raised an eyebrow at my younger self but he just shrugged his shoulders at me. Suddenly My subconscious then stands up from his bed, walks to me, and reaches out to take my hand. Younger me then pulled me toward the door and out of our bedrooms.
"Woah easy there lad slow down," I said as we made our way out of the room and into a hallway. "Where are we going?"
But my subconscious didn't answer me, just leading me down the hallway toward the living room of my grandfather's house. As we approached, my younger self suddenly stopped at the door that would lead us to the living room. He turned to me and pointed at the door.
"You want me to go there?" I asked, looking at him. My subconscious just nodded his head and then gestured for me to go first.
I took a deep breath and pushed the door open, stepping into the living room, everything looked normal at first glance. The couches and chairs were arranged just as they always were, but as I looked around, I spotted something that made my jaw gape.
There seems to be what looks like a tree? But this tree is what I can only describe as.. glowing with mystical power. The tree almost looks like the Yggdrasil from the Gods of War series. But instead of glowing blue like in the game, it was glowing Deep purple violet instead.
Younger me pointed at The tree? Then he pointed at me specifically at the stats that I still held up in front of me. It was like…My subconscious was telling me that what I was seeing was a manifestation of the power that I now possessed.
"Very good Captain Gallahan" a female voice from out of nowhere suddenly spoke up. Startled both Me and My subconscious, and made me pull out my Beretta from my inventory and aim it toward the voice. But when I turned to where the voice came from, there was no one there. My subconscious was looking around, just as surprised as I was.
"Who's there?" I asked, keeping my gun at the ready.
"That wouldn't be needed Captain," the voice replied, and that was when we noticed a woman? Sitting on the couch and drinking what looks like tea? The woman had long white hair and was dressed in what looked like a black-and-white Japanese kimono. The woman looked Asian and She looked at us with…what I describe piercing blue eyes that look like there is a galaxy inside them.
"You can put the gun away. I mean no harm," She said, putting her cup of tea down on the table.
"Who are you?" I asked, still keeping my gun up while also putting Younger me behind my back to protect him.
"I am your Sponsor Captain Gallahan, here to give you tips and tricks one might say… to help you unlock your full potential," the woman replied, her eyes never leaving mine.
"Sponsor? What do you mean?" I asked, lowering my gun slightly.
"I am what you could say beyond out of this Universe that you called DC Captain. I am from a realm far far away from both DC, Marvel, or even other Universes. And I have come here to be your guide on The System Forces." she explained, standing up and approaching us.
I looked at her skeptically. "And why should I trust you?"
"Because I have your best interests at heart, Captain. I want to see you succeed and become the most powerful version of yourself," she replied, placing a hand on my shoulder.
I looked at her hand and then back at her. "What do you want in return?"
"Why Your help, Captain"
My help? Why would This "woman" who I now strongly suspect has something to do with the fact that I got "Isekai" one might say into the DC Universe and not end up K.I.A on a mission to stop biological weapons being developed by the Russian government, needing my help?
"What kind of help do you need?" I asked, still keeping my guard up.
"I cannot reveal the full extent of my plans yet, Captain. But rest assured, your help would surely bring equilibrium and stability to all of the Omniverse," she replied cryptically.
I frowned, not entirely sure of what she meant. But before I could say anything else, she stood up, picked up her cup of tea, and walked towards the door.
"I will be in touch, Captain Gallahan. Until then, work on unlocking your full potential," she said, but before vanishing through the door. The woman had one more thing to say.
"Oh, by the way, Galatea, she is important so don't go out and pass her off to the so-called "Justice League" Please," The woman said sternly before vanishing.
I stood there, staring at the spot where she disappeared, unsure of what just happened. My subconscious looked at me with a curious expression as if he too was trying to make sense of what just occurred. I turned to him and began to speak.
"I don't know what just happened, lad, but I feel like we've just gained a powerful ally in our journey," I said, lowering my gun and putting it back in my inventory.
"Well, I'll see you later?" I asked
My subconscious nodded at me before fading away, and I was left alone in the living room, trying to process everything that had just happened. I awoke back in my hotel room, feeling mentally exhausted from the experience in my mindscape.
