Chapter 10: Secret Room

{Shiro's POV}

"Ciel, please show me the location of my house," I requested to my A.I as I made my way towards the house, or rather Shiro's house in this world.

[Here is the map, Master.] Ciel promptly responded. "Thank you, Ciel," I acknowledged.

For now, I wanted to distance myself from Ned and Peter. As I still needed to gather more information about the previous Shiro's life before I transmigrated here. There were so many things I didn't know about, such as how I became friends with Peter and Ned and why Gwen Stacy existed in this world. I initially thought this world was the MCU, but it seems I was mistaken. Perhaps this is an Alternate Universe of Marvel, or maybe my presence here has already caused a butterfly effect.

Upon arriving at my house, I noticed that it didn't look bad, but it wasn't particularly large either. It had the appearance of a typical house belonging to a solitary person. Reaching for the doorknob, I discovered that it was locked. I used my blacklight virus to pick the lock, as the black and red goo emerged I controlled and maneuvered its way around the doorknob. Once inside, I found myself in a spacious room with minimal items or decorations. The interior of the house truly reflected the dullness of Shiro's previous life.

After a few minutes of searching for information, I accidentally disorganize one of the books displayed on a bookshelf. Suddenly, a loud sound of moving gears echoed, and a hidden entrance slowly emerged from the wall, leading to a secret room. This piqued my curiosity. The door closed automatically behind me as I entered, and what I discovered inside left me completely astonished. The room was filled with advanced equipment and featured a holographic display. There was also a large server compartment that seemed to control everything within the room. As I surveyed my surroundings, I noticed a cabinet secured with a fingerprint lock. "I wonder what this is," I murmured as I placed my finger on the mechanism. It opened, revealing a collection of books and numerous vials containing various liquids. "These vials appear to be some kind of serum. Was the Shiro of this world was already studying serums in addition to advanced technology? Damn! He surpasses my intellect," I thought to myself as I grabbed one of the vials and read the label. "Super Soldier Serum," I muttered, reading the inscription on one of the vials in the cabinet.

"Super Soldier Serum, Infinity Formula, Incomplete Pym Particles, Peter Parker's Blood, and even Mutant Growth Hormone. How on earth did he manage to acquire these things?" I exclaimed, a mixture of shock and disbelief evident on my face. Furthermore, among all the books, one stood out as peculiar. I picked it up and read the title. "My Diary," I whispered as I read the cover of the book, or rather, what appeared to be a notebook. "Yes! This is what I've been searching for!" I exclaimed, eagerly opening the diary and delving into its contents.

After carefully reading the contents of the diary, I gained a deeper understanding of the Shiro in this world. Our lives were vastly different. In my previous world, I portrayed myself as an average student, but in this world, Shiro was recognized as a brilliant student and, unfortunately, faced bullying and was labeled as a nerd. As for how he became friends with Peter and Ned, well, all three of them were geniuses but were treated as nerds by everyone, especially by Flash Thompson. That's what brought the three of them together as friends. If I ever come across Flash Thompson, the one responsible for their mistreatment, I'll make sure he learns his lesson.

Interestingly, it turns out that Shiro of this world truly harbored some feelings for Gwen Stacy since their middle school days.

Regarding the multiple vials I discovered, some of them belonged to Shiro's parents, or rather, our parents, as they bear a striking resemblance to my parents from my previous world. It appears that Shiro's parents were esteemed scientists in this world, although Shiro himself didn't have much knowledge about their specific occupation. The secret room I found was actually built by his parents, and upon discovering it, Shiro also studied the various serums and advanced technologies contained within here. The diary reveals his understanding of the Super Soldier Serum and the Infinity Formula. He also delved into the mysteries of the Pym Particles and Peter Parker's blood, hoping to uncover the secrets behind Peter's transformation into Spider-Man and to solved the complexity of Pym Particles. Unfortunately, the diary abruptly ends before Shiro could draw any solid conclusions. It seems that was the last entry he made before meeting his untimely demise at the hands of the hooligans I encountered in an empty alley.

"Ciel, gather all the data from this secret room," I commanded my A.I, as the black and red goo flowed towards the nearby computer.

[Affirmative, Master.]

[Initiating data collection process...]

"Very well, thank you, Ciel," I muttered as I immersed myself in studying everything in the room.

Investigating this room consumed several hours of my time, to the point that I didn't realize a new day had dawned. It was only when I heard Ciel's voice that I became aware of it.

[Master, data collection is complete.]

[Master, it is now time for you to proceed to your school.] Ciel's tone was robotic, devoid of any emotion.

"Thank you, Ciel, for the reminder," I acknowledged as I headed towards the shower. After showering, I swiftly used my blacklight virus ability to create my school uniform. The uniform comprised a blue blazer with the school logo, a white shirt, a red and blue striped tie, and khaki pants. "Not bad, it suits me quite well," I murmured, examining my reflection in the mirror, striking various poses. Well, it's time to head to school.
