When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a military tent that seemed familiar, yet looked like something from the 1940s. As I took in my surroundings, a searing pain suddenly shot through my head.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I could only scream in my mind, unable to vocalize my agony. Though this pain didn't compare to the excruciating PAIN I felt before waking up, it was still intense.
After what felt like forever, though it was only a few minutes, the pain slowly began to fade. As it subsided, I found myself with a set of new memories belonging to someone named Magnus Brooks—a name that matched mine. The memories revealed his entire life.
At this point, I realized I had been reborn with my memories intact. Or as webnovel and anime fans would call it, isekai/transmigration/rebirth/reincarnation. I couldn't describe my emotions right now. First, I died. Then, I was suspended in the void. Now, I'm here, transmigrated into an unknown world.
With the memories of the now-deceased Magnus, whose body I now inhabited, I might be able to understand my current situation better. So, I began sifting through the memories, organizing them since they were somewhat scattered.
After 30 minutes.
~Huff~
Going through and organizing the memories was more exhausting than I expected. But the hard work paid off. I learned about the life of the person whose body I now occupied. His life appeared ordinary to others, but I knew he was somewhat special.
Magnus had been an orphan, living in an orphanage his entire life. He was a loner with a strong passion for serving his country. At seventeen, when World War II began, he was an ideal soldier. He joined the army recruitment program a year later when he became legally eligible. A strategic genius hidden in a body made for war, with an above-average physique and an intuitive understanding of weapons.
He was in better shape than most people his age, rarely ill, with a lean yet strong physique—nearly perfect for a soldier. But this wasn't the most remarkable thing about his life. The unique aspect was his memory of a man named Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America.
Yes, Captain America of the Marvel Universe, which means...
I AM IN THE WORLD OF MARVEL!
Hehehehehe.
I felt a rush of giddy happiness. I wanted to live for myself, and now I had the chance through transmigration. What better world than the Marvel Universe? Many people think the MU is dangerous, but I don't. I was a soldier in my past life, so naturally, I am not afraid of danger. With my meta-knowledge of the MU, I can live this life however I want, become powerful, and travel anywhere without hindrance.

Huh?
What's that sound?
Am I hallucinating?

[Welcome to the System, Magnus Brooks.]
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Here comes my cheat: my own system. I already knew how these worked from reading many novels, fanfictions, etc.
'Status!' I shouted excitedly in my mind.
[STATS

Race: Human

Let's see my status.
My name and race are as expected. The title "Transmigrator" is pretty obvious.
System, why are there no stats?
[System Help Desk operational for 5 minutes this month.]
Oh, so I have a Help Desk function, but it's only available for 5 minutes. Let's start with the most important questions.
System, why did I transmigrate?
Why do I have the System?
Who gave me the System?
