_______________________________________
My name is Ryuji, and if I'm right, this time, I might actually be the protagonist.
When I was born, my mother named me Ryuji because she wanted me to grow up strong and promising. My dad, however, joked about naming me something ridiculous, saying it would bring divine blessings or luck.
In the end, they stuck with Ryuji. Sometimes, I wonder if a different name would have led to a different, more promising life. But after wasting so many years doing nothing noteworthy, here I am—finally in the spotlight.
Why? Because in an act of heroism, I fell from the seventh floor to save a girl I didn't even know.
To be exact—while falling—I was hoping I'd finally get to be remembered as someone worth something. Maybe when the newspapers report it, they'll paint me as a selfless hero.
Oh, and I also hoped that girl would remember me. She was quite beautiful at first glance.
Now, I'm about to hit the ground. Yet, all I can think is, "I really hope my face doesn't end up too smashed."
Sadly, considering I'm falling head-first, that's a bit much to hope for.
---
Wait, something feels... off.
Even though my physics grades were terrible, I know it shouldn't take this long to fall seven stories. But here I am, feeling like I've been falling for an eternity.
My eyelids feel impossibly heavy. I can't open them, no matter how hard I try. Then—splash!
A mouthful of salty, bitter, disgusting water fills my mouth. My first reaction? I've fallen into the ocean!
It feels eerily similar to the time I accidentally fell off a fishing boat years ago. But then my brain snaps back to reality.
Wait... how the hell is there an ocean beneath my apartment?
Before I can figure that out, another realization hits me—the icy water is suffocating me, and I'm completely disoriented. My body feels like it's shutting down.
Right before I pass out, I swear I see a mermaid swimming toward me. Then, darkness overtakes me.

"Attention! Attention! Host, your life is under threat."
A cold, mechanical voice rings in my head, cutting through the noise of my chaotic surroundings. There's the whine of horns, the clatter of horses' hooves, gunfire, and some strange whooshing sounds I can't place.
For God's sake, why is it so loud? Let me die in peace!
"Current stimulation will begin in 10 seconds. Countdown: 10, 9..."
What stimulation?!
"...3, 2, 1—0!"
ZAP!
It feels like a lightning bolt hits me.
"GAH! IT HURTS!"
I shoot upright, gasping for air, my body trembling from the shock.
Then, I freeze.
In front of me is an epic battle scene straight out of a movie. My head spins, and I can't help but ask myself the three big questions of life:
Who am I?
Where am I?
What the hell is happening?!
---
"Congratulations, host! You've successfully crossed countless light-years and space barriers to arrive in the Marvel Universe of a parallel reality. As one of the rare chosen individuals, you'll receive the technical support of the [Strongest Talent System]."
Marvel Universe?
I blink, dumbfounded. Then, my gaze drifts toward a familiar figure in the distance—a stunning warrior battling invaders on a beach.
Wait.
"System, are you kidding me? Marvel Universe? Then why the hell is that Wonder Woman?!"
---
Forget the system for a second. Forget any technical nonsense.
What I'm seeing is straight out of Wonder Woman 1—the beach scene on Themyscira, where Amazon warriors in battle armor fight invaders with outdated rifles.
I glance again. Yup, there's no mistaking her—it's Gal Gadot, in all her radiant glory.
Hold on... did I just land on a DC movie set by accident?
I slap myself to check. The pain is real. This isn't a dream.
And the system dares to tell me this is the Marvel Universe? Is it messing with me?
---
"It has been detected that the host's memory contains knowledge of movie universes similar to this world. Analyzing... Analyzing... Preliminary tests show this world aligns 30% with the DC movie universe and 60% with the Marvel movie universe. The remaining 10% is unknown. Therefore, this world is designated as the Marvel Universe."
"Seriously?" I mutter, annoyed. "You're calling it the Marvel Universe just because it's mostly Marvel? What about the other 10%?!"
The system doesn't respond to my question, and honestly, I don't have time to press for answers.
---
"Activate the novice gift pack, host!"
"Gift pack?"
I peer cautiously over the rock I'm hiding behind. On the beach, bullets and arrows fly, soldiers yell, and Amazon warriors fall in battle. This is not a game—this is a war zone.
Swallowing hard, I shrink back behind cover, trying to process everything.
"Fine," I whisper. "Activate the damn gift pack."
