"The Front Line."
The headline was in big, bold letters across the front page of the newspaper.
"15th March 1941 " he read below it. "World War II Rages On."
Ikamaru dropped the newspaper ,staring blankly at the room . The machines beside him beeped steadily, their green screens reflecting back at him. He heard voices murmuring outside, footsteps walking up and down the corridor.
It was all real.
A corner of the paper caught his eye. Ikamaru picked it up again, scanning the stories below the headlines. And then he froze as his eyes fell on a photograph in one of the articles.
A man with short hair and piercing blue eyes stared back at him from beneath a red, white, and blue helmet. He was dressed in an iconic suit that Taro had seen countless times before but never thought he would see in real life.
Steve Rogers—"Captain America"
Ikamaru felt like he'd been punched in the gut. His mind raced with thoughts, trying to piece together what was happening.
He had been transported into the Marvel Universe. He'd become a different person. And somehow, he'd gotten a system that downloaded his memories for him.
Ikamaru closed his eyes and rubbed them hard. This couldn't be happening—none of this could be real—but the evidence was all around him. The memories in his head, the newspaper in his hand, even the nurse who had called a doctor by the name "Jannie" earlier today.
He felt a sense of calm wash over him as he remembered the story. He had died—again—but this time, he had taken someone else place in the body.
Ikamaru looked down at himself and saw the unfamiliar hands wrapped around the newspaper. It didn't matter anymore who he was; all that mattered was surviving. And he want to enjoy to his fullest in this life granted to him .
A smile crept onto his face as Ikamaru thought about it all. He would need to be careful, though. It seemed like his memories were still locked up somewhere inside his brain, so he needed to tread carefully.
He looked at the newspaper again, this time focusing on a picture of a man in a suit and tie. "Howard Stark" was written underneath it. Ikamaru remembered what had happened:
Justin Hammer was born last year—his younger brother, who wasn't really related to him by blood but was considered his little brother anyway.
Ikamaru's smile grew wider. It seemed like this body was already involved in a lot of stuff, but he wasn't going to let that stop him.
He had a new life now, and he planned on making the most of it.
Then he spoke " System are you there , I need information"
Then out of thin air , he heared a beautiful lady voice ——
[Hello Darling , Nice to meet you ]
Hearing this Ikamaru was shocked then he ask " Are you the system !!!"
[ Yes Darling ]
[ I am a Transcendental Soul and now we are interconnected by our soul and we can talk in our mind just by thinking .]
Ikamaru having read such thing in his past life doesn't freat ..
He ask " So where am I "
[ As Darling can guess , we are partially in a Amalgam Universe , combined of MCU and DC ]
Hearing her word he notice a strange word ' partially ' .
He ask " What do you mean by partially "
[ Darling we should have transmigrated to a fantasy cultivation world but during our assimilation of soul a problem occurred , as I am from higher being and Darling a lower being , the balance was not proper so our souls suffered . Now Darling real body is in Void , but to recover soul it may even require Millions of years. So to decrease the time required for recovery, I made a small part of the soul to cross in a dimensional world , which led us here . ]
Taro ask " So how do I get energy ?"
[ As only small part of the soul was transferred , I could only transfer one function of the Transcendental System - Lust Giveaway, the more Darling Dual Cultivates the more the energy Darling will get - among that energy 60 percent will be returned to Darling to become powerful so that Darling can survive here and rest will be used to recover our soul ]
Hearing this Taro gets happy as he have time now and could plan way to become powerful until Thanos comes to earth ,but then he remember that it's a Amalgam Universe.
[ Darling , now I have to sleep to recover my energy after our soul recovers we will talk again ]
Saying this , her voice disappear but Ikamaru could feel as if he is missing something crucial , probably that' what she talked about 'soul'.
Then Ikamaru close his eyes as if resting but he was planning what to do now , and what events are going to happen as both MCU and DC universe are together it will be difficult for his any plan to work perfectly .
After sleeping for 5 hours, he woke up to find the beautiful blonde nurse sitting beside him, fast asleep in a chair. He decided it was time to get up and head to the company, so he gently called out to the nurse. She woke up with a start, and he told her that he had remembered his family and needed a phone to contact them. The nurse kindly handed over her phone, and he dialed the number of his family's butler. The butler answered promptly, asking who was calling. He replied, using the name of the original owner, "Aron Hammer."
