New York, 2001
An 11 year-old boy named John woke up from his sleep early in the morning. At first, he felt light- headed and confused. He saw an extravagant bed room with a king sized bed on which he was sleeping. Posters of many news papers on the walls with "click-baiting" headlines can be seen from those news papers. As the images of the room became clear, he turned his head to the right and saw a family photo beside his bed with the image of a typical western middle aged man with black hair and little white side burns holding the hands of a small boy who had some characteristics of the middle aged man.
"What happened? Wasn't I hit by a car? Where am I? Where is Akash and Robin? What is this place? Am I not dead? Did I survive the crash?" the boy exclaimed in his head. He was panicking inside because he saw his body had changed and was a young boy.
He was pretty sure he died but he wasn't sure how he ended up in a bedroom with weird articles all around. He sat on the bed and noticed a newspaper on the nearby table. He picked it up and he was dumbstruck after what he just saw. The date on the newspaper's top right side depicted a year which was impossible for him to be present in that year. It was October 1st, 2001.
But that was not the most astonishing part. What was more surprising was the name of the news paper. On the heading it was written "Daily Bugle". He shuddered because he knew what the name represents but he couldn't believe it. While he was holding the newspaper, he noticed that his hands and body were significantly smaller for a typical 18 year old.
"Did I just get isekai-d to Marvel or am I just dreaming? If it is really Marvel, which Marvel universe is this? The old Spider Man universe? Or the MCU?" the boy screamed in his heart. He felt his heartbeat racing!
In his previous life he had watched the anime "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" so he knew what isekai was. Adding to the fact that he read many Chinese novels of isekai who traveled to many worlds and made their own story.
"Shit! What if I really got isekai-d? I should have a system atleast, like all the other protagonist travelers in the universe. System? Are you there?" He wasn't sure how he got isekai-d but he could only scream in his heart "Doctor Strange! Did you mess this up?"
Ding..
The boy suddenly heard a sound in his head.
System loading... 10%... 20%.. 50%.. 89%.. 100%
System loaded.
The boy was so excited that he almost jumped in his bed.
"Hello, Host John. It has come to our notice that you have traveled to the MCU 19999. Would you like to load the previous memory of the original body."
The boy said "Yes".
And then suddenly he was branded with many memories in his head. information.
It turned out that the original owner's name was John Jonnah Jameson, son of Joan Jameson and J Jonah Jameson. His mother died early due to cancer and his father is the owner of the famous newspaper company 'Daily Bugle'. He turned 11 years old this year. He could only lament on the fact that all the initial letters of his family names start with "J".
"So it's 2001. There is still 7 years to develop myself before Tony Stark makes an announcement in the press conference that he is Iron Man. After that the trajectory of this world will basically take the route of arithmetic progression. Sigh! What a headache! System! The only function you have isn't just some memories right?"
Ding
"The host can rest assured that the system is very powerful and can even make the host as powerful as the so called Gods in this universe instantly. All that depends is, in the hands of the host and his hard work."
"OK ! So what are your functions?"
"The system can make the characters and powers of the animations, movies and games of the host's previous world come to life. And the host can take over the summoned characters' as himself whenever he wishes to."
"What??" John screamed out loud this instead of saying it in his heart. He knew what this represents. It represents he will have powers that the world has never seen. But soon the system poured a cold water on his excitement with it's next sentence.
"The host can make the powers and characters and even the whole world depicted in the previous come to life under certain conditions."
"What are the conditions?"
"The condition is reaching the desired fan value. For example, the host makes a movie and if the fan value, that is, the number of people that loved the movie exceed a certain number then the characters or the powers can come to life as desired by the host."
"You said the characters and even the world can come to life. Won't the villainous characters cause havoc after coming to life?" John complained in his heart
"The host can rest assured that all the characters that the host summons will only take orders from the host and nobody else."
"What? hahahahaha..." John laughed in his bed.
He lied on the bed, stared at the ceiling of his room and kept on smiling. All he could think was about the world that he was going to spin around once he reached his fan value. He was getting prepared!
