A dark, cramped cage.
Pain!
So much pain!!
Excruciating agony washed over him, engulfing his entire body.
Lynn slowly woke on the bed and stared at the pitch-black prison cell.
He touched the hideous wound on his chest. The intense pain was coming from there.
"I need to think of something fast, or I really will die in the next experiment."
Clang!
A white prison guard viciously struck Lynn's foot with an iron rod.
The pain made him cry out involuntarily, veins bulging on his forehead.
The white guard casually tossed down the tray of food, then looked at Lynn as if he were garbage.
"Eat your slop, you damn Mutant." He chuckled mockingly, then headed for the next cell.
Lynn stared hard at the guard's retreating back. After a long moment, he looked down at the food scattered on the floor.
It was all leftovers from the guards' meals.
Not only was it devoid of nutrients, but they had dumped it on the floor as if they hadn't intended to feed the prisoners at all!
Lynn sat up on the bed. Looking at the food on the floor, a flicker of anger crossed his face.
Transmigration was a wonderful thing.
Too bad he had ended up in the Marvel Universe—and as a Mutant, no less.
In this world, Mutants were people who had gained superpowers through mutations in their X-Gene.
But in the eyes of most people, Mutants were deformed monsters, not even worthy of being called human.
And Lynn had been locked up and forced to undergo genetic experiments.
"I have to escape."
Lynn touched the Electric Shock Collar around his neck.
It was a Mutant Controller.
A device that could control Mutants and restrict their abilities.
Like a dog collar, it had him on a leash.
"I have to escape," Lynn murmured.
During the last experiment, he'd been in so much pain he'd nearly died.
If he didn't escape, he might very well die in this experimental facility.
But how could he escape?
After all, his ability was limited to manipulating the bioelectricity throughout his body.
He was no match for the immensely powerful Level Four or even Level Five Mutants.
Just then, a hazy mist seemed to envelop him.
His soul slowly rose, passing beyond the facility.
It crossed beyond Earth and the stars, arriving in a hazy Unknown Land.
"Has someone else arrived?"
A familiar voice came from up ahead.
Lynn looked forward and saw two figures standing before him.
The one on the left looked exactly like him. He wore dark green armor and dark clothing, and his eyes were scarlet, with a black dot in the center.
Around the dot, three pitch-black, tomoe-shaped patterns spun.
The other was completely covered in metal armor and wore a rounded yellow-and-black helmet.
A pistol and an assault rifle were holstered at his waist, and a long sword hung across his back.
The instant Lynn saw them, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind.
"I transmigrated into several different worlds at once? As long as I make contact with another version of myself, we can share everything?"
Lynn froze as he learned the truth.
That meant every version of him could share abilities, talents, bloodlines, skills, and more, simply by making contact.
They could share as much as they wanted, without any physical or other limitations.
Everything they shared could be used throughout the myriad worlds.
At most, the abilities might be assimilated by a world because of differences in its rules.
And after gaining new abilities, he could return to this Unknown Land and share them with all the other Lynns.
Most importantly, Lynn discovered that compatible abilities could actually stack!
For example, the Lightning Release of the version of him dressed like a ninja could combine with his bioelectricity.
The result would be greater than the sum of its parts!
However.
Even though they could share memories, it would take some time to adapt to the abilities they shared, because the worlds had different rules.
That gave Lynn hope.
Alone, he was merely a fixed point, a single thread of life, an unchanging shape.
But together, all the Lynns made up everything.
Working together, they could... far surpass anything they could imagine.
As for this Unknown Land, only Lynn's soul could enter it. It seemed to be where all the Lynns converged.
Naruto Lynn spoke up. "Since another one of us has arrived, we should introduce our situations and abilities."
"I'll go first," he continued.
"I transmigrated into the Naruto World and was born into the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha Clan Downfall is just around the corner."
At the thought of the impending Uchiha Clan Downfall, the other two Lynns couldn't help but shudder.
Even Naruto Lynn felt helpless.
He had ordinary talent, but he'd worked incredibly hard over the past few years. His Sharingan had even evolved to three tomoe, and he was strong enough to match some jonin.
But with the Uchiha Clan Downfall approaching, there was still nothing he could do. He didn't even have the chance to defect from Konoha.
In just a few days, the Uchiha Clan would be wiped out.
After hearing about his situation, Marvel Lynn also began to complain.
"I've got it worse. I transmigrated into Marvel as a Mutant who was captured and brought to an experimental facility. Every few days, they put me through some sick experiment. I can barely take it anymore."
He thought of what he'd been through these past few days. It had been absolutely miserable.
Being locked up was bad enough, but he couldn't even get enough to eat, and the white prison guards looked down on him.
There was no telling what day he might die in one of those inhumane experiments.
When he finished, both Lynns turned to the last one.
Marvel Lynn asked, "What world did you transmigrate into?"
"The DC Universe," DC Lynn replied. "I transmigrated as the mercenary Deathstroke."
Marvel Lynn said enviously, "That's great! You became one of the top assassins in the DC Universe as soon as you transmigrated. You're in a much better situation than we are."
"What's so great about that?"
DC Lynn rolled his eyes and continued.
"I transmigrated as Deathstroke, but I don't have his memories—just his powerful healing ability and physical strength.
"Besides, Deathstroke has enemies everywhere. I've been hunted all the way to Gotham, where Batman Who Laughs has set his sights on me. I could die any day."
Hearing about DC Lynn's predicament, Marvel Lynn and Naruto Lynn froze.
Damn, you just transmigrated, and you've already run into the DC Universe's big boss, The Batman Who Laughs?
Marvel Lynn sighed. "Looks like the three of us didn't exactly get great starts."
At his words, the other two Lynns fell silent.
What kind of absurd luck did they have to end up in situations like these?
Marvel Lynn said, "It's fine. At least we can share with one another. We still have a chance to turn things around."
Naruto Lynn nodded in agreement. "You're right. Being able to share is already a huge help."
DC Lynn said, "In that case, let's hurry up and share."
