1 How It all began.

I've got nothing for you.

Nope . Nada.

I have no idea what happened.

Nothing …

No random violent murder or unjust crime.

No sleepy transition.

Truck-kun didn't even visit me randomly.

No memories of who I was. Where I was. My... my name . Only personal knowledge Just the darkness of the deep abyss, floating as a ethereal mass less form then .....

I woke up....

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

" Ben ."

hmmmph...

"Ben."

ZZzzzzzzz....

"Ben...."

huh ?

" BENJAMIN KIRBY TENNYSON !"

" Aaaahh !"

Correction, It was then that I woke up...

" Good your awake , your gonna be late for school and you've got to make a good first impression so that .... "

While she went on, dragging me through the door to the bathroom and then the kitchen for some " organic " breakfast ( it might be a little too organic since it twitches whenever I poke it , ugh ) I process what the hell was going on .

I was dealing with the influx of information about this body's... my life .

I'm five, give or take .

Lived with my parents Carl and Sandra Tennyson.

Grandpa Max .

My name ....

Ben Tennyson...

Wait . Ben Tennyson. Bellwood. Max Tennyson.... oh. Oh. OH. OH Shit.

How can I be in the future hero of heroes ?!? Forget Saving JUST the Entire Galaxy from Vilgax more times than a Saturday villain. Then there's the Highbreed Invasion due to their GODDAMN inbreeding. I'm not even gonna mention the Eldritch Abomination that is Diagon The Destroyer.

Oh man. Oh man . Oh Man !

Just to show how little the universe gave a crap about my existential breakdown , we arrived at school and I was dropped off .

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

I don't understand how Ben had trouble in school. I mean if it was just me having college level knowledge (somehow) that's one thing , No what I find weird is that I have photographic memory , even when I'm not paying attention what going on around me be it sight ,sound or smell gets stuck in my head. It seems to be a part of the body's abilities like my 'canon' counterpart said he had . If he's always had it and it works like it seems to for me ( I remember everything after being to with perfect clarity and perception) then he could cram years of study in days ....

I am so gonna abuse this.

The introduction to class was all standard, no fanfare and the knowledge.... well .... First Grade is First Grade. I was bored out of my skull. The only one that I have interacted with ( or in this case since they are 5 year olds, " made friends with" ) is JT . I guess this is before Cash came along .

I spent the rest of the day planning.

I couldn't be exactly like the OG Ben ( both in attitude and foreknowledge ) . Some of the things that worked out for him either pure luck or straight up plot .

I can't also rely on getting the omnitrix , don't know if this is that dimension where Gwen or Max get that overpowered wristwatch.

I need the skill , resources and knowledge to survive and thrive.

I am going grind my way through this life as if I was the Gamer.
