Chapter 2 - Spider Man Starter Pack!

Axel Narration: "Hello there my name's Axel Rivers and I am a normal ordinary reincarnated boy... or at least I used to be. This point in my life's story was basically the end of my ordinary days."

"Simply put I was just gifted with great power. And with great power.... naturally also comes with great pains in the butt!"

When Axel woke up, he suddenly found himself in what looked like the inside of a large, dark storage house. He was tied to a chair with a white cloth tightly covering his mouth.

"W-Where am I?" Thought the blonde boy as he tried to remember what he was doing before he got here.

However it was then that a robotic female voice suddenly sounded from within his mind.

"Greetings Host!"

"W-Who said that?! W-Why does it seem as if they're speaking from my mind?!" Thought Axel.

For now he couldn't really speak properly due to the white cloth covering his mouth.

"I am the Spider Suit System here to assist you on your needs to becoming the next Spider-Man."

At that moment Axel felt as if he had just been struck by lightning.

"A System?!!.... Becoming the next Spider-Man?!!" Thought Axel in complete shock.

He had naturally read stories in his previous life where the protagonists reincarnate with some 'System' like cheats that allows them to gain some sort of advantages in their new lives, however he had never thought such a thing would happen to himself.

And also becoming the next Spider-Man...

"That... that doesn't even make sense! Isn't this world supposed to be a version of the DC universe? Why Spider-Man from Marvel?!... Then again there is an OSCORP here." Thought Axel.

System: "Host I believe your main priority right now is to get loose from your bindings and escape your captors as soon as possible."

Hearing the System's words, Axel began to remember.

Axel thought: "That's right I remember now! When I was walking home, somebody suddenly grabbed me from behind and then a person wearing a black robber mask appeared in front of me and punched me in the stomach with brass knuckles."

"That guy then punched me in the face while I was kneeling on the ground knocking me out!"

System: "Host I believe I should inform you that the effects of the Special Spider Serum I've injected into your body should now be active."

"Spider Serum? Injected into my body? What is this weird voice talking about?!" Thought Axel.

System: "Simply put you should possess the powers of a Spider-Man now Host."

Axel: "....."

Axel then thought: "If what this voice in my head is telling the truth then I should be able to..."

Snap!..Snap!..Snap!

At that moment Axel had easily broken out of the ropes tying him to the chair using nothing more but his physical strength. He had done this with next to no effort at all.

By this point Axel couldn't help but be somewhat shocked as he thought: "That was.... too easy."

After a moment of being shocked, Axel immediately remembered that he still had no idea where he was nor who those people who took him were.

"Where the heck am I and why is it so dark here?" Muttered Axel as he took a look around him while removing the white cloth covering his mouth.

It was then that something sounded from within his mind.

Ding!

System: "As the new Host of the Spider Suit System, the System now gifts you the 'Spider-Man Starter Pack'."

It was then that a small holographic screen suddenly appeared in front of Axel.

Within the screen the words...

[Receive Spider-Man Starter Pack now? (Yes/Later)]

...could be seen.

"This..." Seeing the holographic screen, Axel couldn't help but be shocked once again.

The System then spoke again: "Host you may now choose whether to receive the Starter Pack now or later. If you click 'Yes' you will receive the items now, if you click 'Later' you will be asked again in a few hours."

Since Axel wasn't sure if the ones who had kidnapped him were nearby, he decided to ask the System in a quiet tone: "Will this Starter Pack help in any way if I encounter the people who took me?"

System: "I am unable to answer your question Host. As such I will instead show to you the items included in the Starter Pack."

At that moment three new images appeared on the holographic screen.

Quick Change Mask

- While wearing this mask, the Host can use Night Vision.

Starting Web-Shooters

- Each of these Web-Shooters comes immediately equipped with two web-fluid cartridges.

Spider-Tracer(x5)

- Each spider-tracer gives out a signal that can be tracked by the Host's Spider Sense.

- Each spider-tracer turns into dust 48 hours after they've been activated.

- Spider-Tracers will always appear invisible to ordinary eyes. However the Host will always be able to see them.

As Axel continued staring the three items on the holographic screen, he suddenly heard a door slam open as a voice of a man that seemed to be heading towards where he was sounded.

"Dammit why do I have to be the one to check on the kid just because those two idiots were lazy!"

Hearing the man's voice as well as what he just said, Axel couldn't help but slightly panic as he quickly hid behind a nearby large box.

By this point Axel didn't even hesitate to click on 'Yes' on the holographic screen.

System: "Bestowing Host the Starter Pack items."

And just like that Axel was now wearing a dark blue colored Spider-Man mask as silver bracer like gadgets also appeared around his wrists.

Staring at the pair of silver bracer like gadgets on his wrists, Axel thought: "These are.... really web-shooters?!"

When the kidnapper wearing a black mask turned on his flashlight and saw that Axel was no longer on the chair and the ropes they had used to tie him up were now on the ground, he quickly turned around and shouted: "Hey come here quick the kid's not here anymore!"

Hearing the masked man shouting for his companions due to him no longer being on the chair, Axel panicked once again as he unconsciously pointed his hand towards the masked man and tapped the trigger of his web-shooter.

kachi!

"mmph?!!" At that moment the masked man's face instantly became covered with webbing.

Caught off guard by what just happened, the masked man accidentally dropped the flashlight in his hand.

"W-What did I just..." Muttered Axel upon seeing what he had just done.

Axel then thought: "No matter what my main priority right now is to get out of here. I can't really see much though.... oh right it said the mask had Night Vision.... but how do I use it?"

It was then that the eyes on Axel's mask started to become pale green.

By this point Axel realized he could now see in the dark. However everything he saw now seemed.... green.

"This is.... Night Vision?" Thought Axel as the System began to explain.

System: "Host I believe you should know that this mask's Night Vision is simply activated and deactivated by mental command."

"Well that's convenient." Thought Axel as he slowly stepped out from behind the box he was hiding from while the masked man was still busy trying to remove the webbing on his face.

"Gah!" By this point the masked man had managed to remove part of the webbing. Specifically the one covering his right eye.

Now since he had left his flashlight on when he dropped it, the light from it allowed the masked man to immediately catch a glimpse of something with his now unwebbed right eye.

"What the shit?!" Shouted the masked man as he saw a dark figure that seemed to have a pair of pale green eyes.

Completely freaked out by what he suddenly saw, the masked man quickly pulled out a throwing knife from his pocket and immediately threw it towards the dark figure while shouting: "Whatever you are die!"

"Huh?!" At that moment Axel felt a tingling sensation from the back of his skull as his body suddenly moved on it's own making him duck.

Whoosh...

After successfully dodging the throwing knife, Axel couldn't help but stare at the masked man in shock as he thought: "That guy just threw a knife at me! And how the heck did I suddenly dodge it without even realizing it?!"

System: "That was thanks to your Spider Sense Host."

"Ah I see so that's what that tingling feeling was." Thought Axel.

"Tch I missed!" Said the masked man as he took out another throwing knife.

Seeing the knife in the masked man's hand, Axel couldn't help but shudder.

Must know that he died being stabbed by a knife in his previous life. As such he couldn't help but have a slight fear of knives especially when it was held by someone who meant him harm.

"No!" Shouted Axel as he shot a web-line towards the masked man's chest.

"Wha?!" Said the masked man in surprise as the webbing stuck to his chest.

Axel then pulled the webline to the left, which resulted in the masked man being flung towards the nearby wall.

By this point the other two masked men entered the scene with their flashlights turned on.

The second masked man said: "Hey I heard you shouting."

The third masked man said: "What's going on?"

Bang! "Oof!"

What greeted the two masked men was the sight of their companion being slammed to a wall.

"W-What the hell?!" Shouted the Second Masked Man.

As for the third masked man he quickly approached the first masked man who was now lying on the ground clearly in pain.

"What happened?" Asked the third masked man.

"Th-There's something there." Said the first masked man with difficulty as he pointed towards the direction he had spotted the dark figure from.

By this point Axel was back hiding behind the large box as he was thinking in panic: "Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god.... I actually flung that guy towards the wall so easily!... Is this really the strength of Spider-Man?!"

Upon using his flashlight to light the direction that the first masked man pointed to, the third masked man shouted: "Who's there come out!"

The second masked man then asked: "Where's the kid?"

The first masked man: "I-I don't know... the kid was gone when I got back here. That thing that slammed me to the wall must've something to do with it."

"Tch! You're useless!" Said the second masked man as he quickly pulled out a gun from his jacket.

The second masked man then shouted: "Whoever you are come out now or I'll shoot!"

Seeing that one of the masked men had a gun, Axel immediately felt cold sweat run down the back of his neck as he thought: "He's got a gun what do I do?!"

The blonde haired boy then took a deep breath as he continued his thoughts: "What would Spider-Man do?"

"Come out come out wherever you are." Said the second masked man as both he and the third masked man were getting closer and closer to the large box with their flashlights lighting their way.

By this point Axel had already decided on what he should do next.

Silently sneaking to the side of the box to get a better view of the two masked men, Axel took another deep breath while aiming his web-shooter towards the gun in the second masked man's hand while thinking: "Don't miss, Don't miss, Don't miss, Don't miss...."

Kachi!

Pressing the trigger of his web-shooter, Axel shot a web-line towards the gun.

"What the heck?!" Shouted the second masked man as he saw webbing suddenly sticking to the side of his gun.

"I did it!" Thought Axel as he used his webbing and pulled the gun away from the second masked man's hand.

Second masked man: "Shit! Something pulled my gun away!"

"Who's there?!" Shouted the third masked man as he and the second masked man pointed their flashlights towards the direction from which the webbing came from.

It was then that they were greeted with the sight of Axel's dark blue spider-man mask that currently had a pair of pale green eyes.

Second Masked Man: "Wh-What the heck is that thing?!"

"I don't know but I'm giving it a knuckle sandwich!" Said the third masked man as he equipped brass knuckles to his right hand and charged towards Axel.

"W-Wait..." Said Axel as he tried to talk. But it was too late... the third masked man was already about to punch his face.

However it was then that something weird began to occur.

From Axel's perspective the masked man's punch seemed to suddenly be in slow motion which resulted in him being able to easily dodge it.

"Th-This..." Thought Axel in shock at what he was currently experiencing.

"tch! Lucky dodge!" Said the third masked man.

After which he attempted to punch Axel once again. But it was still the same... Axel had easily dodged it as well.

However the masked man didn't plan to give up at all... punch after punch after punch.... unfortunately for him though Axel had swiftly dodged them all.

By this point all three masked men couldn't help but be somewhat stunned as they all thought: "How the heck is this thing able to dodge so fast like that?"

After dodging all of the third masked man's punches, Axel finally decided to fight back.

Bam!

With a kick to the third masked man's torso, Axel easily sent the masked man flying straight towards some stacked up large metal pipes.

"Ugh..." Groaned the third masked man before completely losing consciousness.

Seeing what just happened the other two masked men's jaws dropped. Among the three of them, the third masked man was undoubtedly the biggest and strongest and yet he was actually easily sent flying with a single kick.

Seeing what he had just done, Axel couldn't help but be somewhat shocked as he began to mutter: "I-I-I didn't mean to... I didn't think... I didn't know..."

But before he could even finish what he was saying, the second masked man shouted: "Shit you'll pay for that freak!"

The second masked man then quickly rushed towards the gun that Axel had pulled away from his hand earlier as fast as he could.

Seeing this Axel shouted: "No don't!" as he shot a web-line towards the second masked man in an attempt to stop him.

With the web-line sticking to the second masked man's shoulder, Axel quickly used it to pull him away from the gun.

"What the huh?!" Said the second masked man as he was flung towards the large box that Axel was hiding behind earlier.

Crash!

The second masked man crashed into the large wooden box completely destroying it.

By this point Axel couldn't help but think: "I really need to learn how to control this new strength of mine."

"Ugh..." Groaned the second masked man as he now felt pain throughout his entire body.

At that moment Axel suddenly felt a tingling feeling once again.

"Oh no!" Thought the blonde boy as he quickly dove to his right as fast as he could.

Bang!

A gunshot was heard.

It was the first masked man, he had picked up the gun right after the second masked man crashed into the wooden box.

At this moment Axel who had successfully dodged a bullet started sweating bullets as he thought: "Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god.... I could've been killed by that gunshot!"

"Tch! I won't miss a second time!" Said the masked man as he once again pointed the gun towards Axel.

Seeing the gun pointed towards him, Axel froze as his eyes suddenly turned blue for a split second..... and in that split second an image appeared within blonde boy's mind.

It was Spider-Man!

It was a Spider-Man wearing his classic red and blue suit.

This Spider-Man then suddenly shot a web-line towards the ceiling then quickly pulled on it to propel himself upwards at great speed.

Back in the real world the masked man was about to pull the gun's trigger once again.

At that moment Axel began to move!

kachi!

He then immediately shot a web-line towards the ceiling and quickly pulled on it to propel himself upward similar to the image in his mind that he had seen just now.

Whoosh.... Bang!

The masked man had once again fired the gun.... However like before he had missed!

"What the... where'd he go?" Said the masked man as he used his flashlight on his surroundings to look around for Axel.

As for Axel himself he was currently....

....sticking to the ceiling.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I'm actually sticking to the ceiling!" Thought the blonde boy.

System: "Congratulations Host for your first experience of using Spider-Instinct."

"Spider-Instinct?" Thought Axel.

System: "A power you possess that allows you to tap into the vast experience and knowledge of all the Spider-People within the Spider-Verse."

"What the.. how... Never mind I'll ask this System thing later. For now I gotta take care of the masked guy below that just tried to shoot me.....again!" Thought Axel.

"Shit! Where is that freak?!" Said the masked man who was still looking around for Axel.

"Should I just try to dive down and hope I hit him and knock him out or something?.... But.... I might miss and he could just shoot me." Thought Axel.

As if responding to his thoughts, Axel's eyes flashed blue once more as an image of a spider-man once again appeared within his mind.

However this time it was Spider-Man Noir!

Within his mind, Axel saw Spider-Man Noir wall-crawl on the ceiling then suddenly shoot out a web-line towards someone on the ground.

Upon pulling his target upwards, he consecutively shot out even more webbing towards his target which resulted in his target being completely trapped in a large amount of webbing while hanging from the ceiling thanks to the web-line he shot out earlier.

Back in the real world as the masked man was continuing to look for Axel, a web-line suddenly appeared behind him, sticking to his back then suddenly pulling him up.

"What the... what the shit?!" Shouted the masked man as he was pulled up high in the air.

When the masked man was close enough...

kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...kachi!...

Similar to what he had seen in his vision, Axel consecutively shot out webbing towards the masked man, completely covering his mouth down to his feet with webbing.

This made it so that the masked man could no longer either move much nor speak.

By this point the masked man couldn't help but stare at Axel who was sticking to the ceiling with eyes full of absolute fear.

As the spider-man masked boy slowly wall-crawled towards the masked man, the latter desperately tried his best to struggle out of the webbing, for he had no idea what the spider like person was about to do to him.

"Lights out!" Said Axel then.... Bam!

Axel punched the masked man completely knocking him out while he was still hanging from the ceiling due to the webbing.

Seeing that all three masked men were now truly unconscious, Axel muttered: "Now what do I do? Should I interrogate them on why they kidnapped me or should I just leave?"

However it was then that he remembered something.

"Also... How the hell do I get down from here?!" Said Axel as he noticed he was still sticking to the ceiling.

Suddenly....

wee-woo...wee-woo...wee-woo

Axel heard sounds coming from outside.

Axel: "Those are.... police sirens?"
