If you wish to read a similar type of novel, I'm writing a fanfiction in the world of Marvel with a lot of elents from The Knight's Multiverse.
A quick sum-up here:
Queens, New York City, USA. 2012.
Ben Parker, a forr Special Forces' Team Captain, husband of May Parker and uncle of Peter Parker, was forced to take arms again when the chitauri attacked New York City and threatened the safety of his nephew and friends. Saving them successfully he however ended up heavily injured, prompting him to breakthrough and beco a Supe(Superhuman), all due to one of the three Perks granted by the unknown entity who reincarnated him on this Earth.
Ard with almost all his previous life's mories, his skills as a forr Green Beret, his three Perks and with the help of his loved ones and companions, he would have to face many threats, with so with seemingly impossible odds.
"The world is going batshit crazy. I can deal with normal humans, but how the hell am I supposed to deal with Gods and Universe-Ending Aliens?"

Demian's P.O.V.
While the young man was enjoying the smooth feeling of her skin, he started talking, while Seraphine kept silent. "I've... Okay, I feel a bit nervous now." Taking a deep breath, he resud. "A month ago, after being knocked out, I got back my... My previous life's mories." He then paused for a second, waiting for her reaction and expecting the worst.
Instead, he noticed her confusion. "I don't understand the link between that and the fact that we get together or not. Don't get wrong! I'm really curious and I've got many questions, but..." At her words, the young man felt the tension in his body strangely alleviate, although not to the point that it disappeared.
"The link is that I've got mories of another 30 year-old-guy inside my head. Granted it was technically , but still." "Wait! You said 30 years old?! How..." Feeling like the conversation was derailing, he cut her off by saying. "Sera! That's not the point! I'm not the Demian you've known for years for God's sake!"
Those last few words were said a bit forcefully, his tone betraying his inner struggle and chaotic emotions. However, he knew that lashing at the woman beside him would not help with removing his fears and thus he fell silent while trying to calm himself down.
In his confused state, he suddenly felt the touch of the lovely woman's hand on his shoulder, then his neck, and finally his cheek. As soon as she reached her target, she started stroking it, clearly trying her best to transmit the love and care she felt for him through her touch.
After a few monts, Demian felt his mind relax while he was enjoying her caress. His cousin probably felt the change as she declared. "You said I'm silly, but you're really the silliest." Feeling confused, he asked. "What do you an?" Shaking her head, she giggled briefly and explained herself. "You said you got back your mories, correct?" "Correct." "So, if those mories are yours, that ans it was you in your previous life and not soone taking over your body like in those Chinese novels, right?" "Yes."
After the two questions, he could more or less guess what she ant. However, he chose to keep silent and let her finish. "So, that just ans you're you. Just with a few more mories. And to , that doesn't really matter." His body now completely loosened up, but he still chose to question.
"You really don't think it's weird?" Chuckling, she replied. "Of course, it's weird! But in a good way. After all, I'm pretty sure we've all got those mories sowhere inside us. It's just that you're one of the few who got access to it." Her words helped him see the situation from another angle, making him feel much better.
"That's surprisingly mature of you." His teasing words did not really match the thankful tone he used, which did not escape the woman's attention. Snorting softly, she retorted playfully. "You're the only one thinking I'm not a beautiful mature lady, you know?" Squeezing her hand gently, he began using flirty words.
"You're wrong about that. I'm plenty aware of the fact that you're beautiful and mature. Especially where it counts." Blushing bright red at his words, she softly hit his right shoulder again and reproached him. "Stop it with the teasing! Let's go back to the previous conversation."
Her voice said no, but the happy smile on her face told everything Demian needed to know about her opinion of his complints. However, he decided to preserve her dignity and follow her demands. "Sure. So, what do you want to know?" He asked since he did not want to bore her with too many details.
To his surprise, she was extrely curious about pretty much everything like his na, his family, hobbies, etc. Once they went through most of his life, Demian started to explain about his eting with that unknown entity. "He, or she, I don't really know. He asked to choose three Perks I would get in my next life."
"So this one, then?" "Exactly." Looking excited, she exclaid. "So that ans you've got three powers?!" He began to nod his head before rembering the fact that she could not see his gesture. He thus answered out loud. "Yes." "What are they?" Her enthusiasm drew a smile on his face, as he started to explain his three perks.
"Keep in mind that the Perks I asked for were pretty general, and the Entity told that there will be nuances and evolutions." She nodded her head but kept silent. "I called the first Perk 'Ultimate and Equalized Physiology Perk'." "That sounds like a mouthful." "I'm aware. That's why I just call it Physiology Perk. Much easier."
"Makes sense. And what does it do?" "It gives the power to grow in strength endlessly and in a balanced manner. It works by stimulating any attribute of mine like stamina, strength, etc. and while I grow in that area, I'll grow in every other area." "That sounds OP." "Yes and no. Yes because I only have to work on one attribute to grow all of them. But no since it takes ti to increase my 'strength growth affinity'."
"What do you an?" She asked confused. "I made up that word since I'm not really sure how to call it. You can think about it like the spiritual roots in those cultivation novels, but with physical strength. A month ago, my 'spiritual root' was terrible and I couldn't grow at all. But after stimulating my body every day for a month, not only did I grow in strength but I also feel that my growth rate is increasing."
Giggling at his words, she replied. "That sounds like a non-problem to . You sound like a rich kid who's complaining about having a slightly less enormous amount of money than they wanted." Chuckling at her description, Demian nodded. "That feels like a surprisingly accurate description to . I'm being an ungrateful prick, ain't I?"
Patting his shoulder, she replied in a fake comforting tone. "Yes, you are. But don't worry, I still love you anyway." Shaking his head slightly, he pinched her nose softly and said in a joking tone. "You're really looking for a fight, my lovely Sis." Pushing his fingers from her nose, she replied.
"Only because I know you can't fight back!" That made the two chuckle for a while before Demian continued his explanation. "That's my understanding of my first Perk so far. The second Perk is called 'Ultimate Soul and Mind Shield'. Everything is in the na as far as I know." Looking pensive, she said.
"So no ntal manipulation?" "Right. And no selling my soul to the devil for power either." Tilting her head slightly in an adorable manner, she asked. "Are you saying devils and demons exist?" Shrugging, the young man replied. "No clue. But simply the fact that I got reincarnated by an entity powerful enough to freely gift those three powers ans that anything's possible. In any case, we'll find out in the future as we grow in power."
Lowering her head slightly at his words, she said in a dim voice. "But I don't have any power... What about your lifespan? Will you beco immortal like in those novels? Does that an I'll grow old and die while you'll stay young forever?" The last few questions were asked in a panicked voice, prompting the young man to kiss the flustered woman on her cheek to distract her from her worries.
And that worked as the charming girl froze instantly, while her cheeks were burning red. 'I think I'm gonna get addicted to making her blush. She looks so adorable like that...' Despite the strong temptation, he refrained from teasing her again and instead started explaining.
"You asked too many questions and didn't even let finish. Now, to answer your question about lifespan: I don't know. The Entity didn't tell anything so we'll find out as we go. Although I've got a strong hunch that as our power grows, so too does our lifespan."
Pausing for a second, he took a deep breath as he felt that the next part of his explanation would have a great impact on his relationship with Sera, but also with Bryn and Adeliya. "The third Perk would resolve your concern about not being powerful or having any power."
Her overwhelming interest was apparent on her face, as she asked. "Does that an you can grant powers to others? Can you do that to Big Sis and Mom too?" That made him feel awkward since he knew the chanism of his last Perk. "I... I can but..." She clearly felt his hesitation, as she questioned. "Does it have a great price?"
With so reluctance, he responded. "Not exactly. But kinda..." Shaking her head, she exclaid. "That's not an answer." Sighing in defeat, he explained while feeling a bit embarrassed. "The third Perk is called Love Bond and it consists in bonding my Soul to soone I love and trust deeply and who shares the feeling."
With a confused look, the young woman responded. "Bonding your soul? From the way you say it, I'm guessing there are pros and cons?" "Yes. Again, it's only the superficial knowledge I've got about the Perk." "I know. Keep explaining." "The pros are that any person bonded to will have access to both of my other Perks."
"That sounds great! That ans Mom, Big Sis and I could beco very strong too!" Nodding his head, he however kept silent. When she noticed it, Sera guessed. "There are so strong cons, right?" "Well, it depends how you view it. It's just that the Perk works in a way, that the closer the interaction, the better it works. And if the interactions are not close enough then the Perk's effectiveness would be so low that it'd be almost impossible to see the difference with not having it."
Once he finished his explanation, he noted the slow look of realization on her face, proven by the deliberate way in which she phrased her question. "How close are we talking about?" "Well... As in sexual close. It WOULD work with a simple kiss. But it would be the bare minimum." Looking speechless, the young woman with red cheeks comnted.
"Why did you ask for sothing so specific to that Entity?" "I didn't. I asked for a way to help my loved ones keep up with as I grow stronger. And he told that it would be the best way, so I just listened." Shaking her head, she claid in a speechless tone. "That Entity is a pervert!"
Chuckling at her words, he replied. "Maybe he is. But we can't complain since I got three powers for free. And if used well, they can make , us, very powerful." With a pensive look on her face, she retorted. "I guess you're right... So... Are you... I an we..." The charming young woman seed a bit flustered and seemingly incapable of finding her words.
Gazing at her adorable reactions, he however could not help himself from being a bit embarrassed since he understood what she ant. He had a brief thought. 'As a man I need to take the initiative!' Before he took a deep breath to gather his courage and stated. "You an about the Soul Bond between us, right?"
Nodding her head with an awkward look on her face, she however kept silent, which prompted him to continue. "Do you want to?" Nodding her head even harder, this ti she exclaid. "Yes!" "Wait! You need to understand that it's final. There's no turning back and if we get to beco immortal like you said, we'll be stuck together forever. Don't misunderstand though, I'd love it, but I'm worried that you'd co to regret it after a while."
He said the last sentence quickly as soon as he noticed the gloomy expression that started to appear on her face. Fortunately, he was swift, and the depressed look turned to happiness instantly. After that, she said. "It depends. Do you promise to cherish forever?" The nod of his head mirrored the firm tone of his answer.
"I promise. For as long as I, Demian Mikhailov live and beyond, I shall love and cherish you, Seraphine Mikhailov, through our Eternal Soul Bond. Will you also do the sa?" The solemness of his vow visibly took her by surprise as a few tears of happiness ran down her cheeks while a smile adorned her beautiful face.
The silence lasted a few seconds which seed like hours to Demian. It fortunately ended as her words resounded in his ears. "I, Seraphine Mikhailov, swear to love and cherish you, Demian Mikhailov, for as long as I live and beyond, through our Eternal Soul Bond." As soon as she finished her own vow, she added.
"That was a bit embarra..." Her voice was suddenly cut off as Demian's lips touched hers. The two then froze in place as they could feel the transformation that was currently happening to their respective souls.
