chapter 2

Opening my eyes, I gazed at the ceiling. For the first time, I pinched myself to confirm that what I was seeing wasn't a mere creation of my mind. After all, reading transmigration stories and experiencing them are two different things. One moment, your concerns revolve around completing homework, and the next, survival becomes your top priority.

Looking around, I found the room was made of wood, styled in a traditional Japanese manner. As I moved, a glint caught my eye—a letter on the desk, glowing with a faint light. With curiosity, I reached out and picked it up. Taking a deep breath, I unfolded the letter and began to read...

**Hey little guy,**

You know you weren't fooling anyone with that "little guy" act. Remember those wishes you made while acting all high and mighty? I could have easily reminded you of your mistakes, but I didn't.

Now you're in this new world, but playtime's over. Listen up! The Helmet may not have a controlling god, but it does have some interesting side effects. The magic book comes with anti-theft protection, so no relying on the Great Sage, she-who-can't-do-it-all. Remember, I made sure you were the only one who could use your gifts, so you had to learn for yourself.

The Great Sage can only learn the skills from the book if you're able to release them. So remember to learn well. That book holds all the magic of the DC World, which means it also includes the gods. Speaking of the world, this world you're in? It's a world called MHA. Big surprise, right? In a week, the Hero Selection thingy starts. You're already signed up (don't worry, I took care of it). If being a hero isn't your thing, fine. I left you some cash and a new identity, so if you suddenly figure out you need to learn Japanese, lucky for you, I have already made sure you have natural Japanese reading and writing skills. Next time you go somewhere, make sure to learn the local language.

Good luck, or should I say "Ganbatte"?

After reading the letter, I started checking everything. I decided to look at Dr. Fate's helmet. As I wished, it appeared in my hand—a smooth, cool sphere of metal that pulsed softly in my grasp. As I lifted it, a low hum resonated through my bones. The intoxicating feeling of becoming the strongest person rushed over me. Controlling myself, I refrained from wearing the helmet immediately.

Next, I needed to confirm the magic book; it also appeared in front of me with a single tap. Matching the theme of the helmet, it was a book made from a material resembling golden crystals.

Now, only two things were left: the Great Sage ability and the ability to travel to different worlds. Since I didn't want to travel yet without sufficient strength, I focused on checking the Great Sage first.

"Great Sage, do I have any latent quirks or abilities in this body?" I questioned.

"Negative, there are no latent quirks or abilities in your body, but I advise you to check your documents," Great Sage replied.

"Where are my documents?" I asked.

"Would you like me to scan your house?" the Great Sage offered.

"Yes, please do," I responded.

"Scanning complete. Please go to the second bedroom downstairs. In a cabinet, you will find your documents."

Since the house was scanned, I decided to test the Great Sage's abilities further. "Can you read the documents?" I asked.

"Positive. Do you want me to read all the information written?" the Great Sage inquired.

"Just tell me about my name in this world, any recorded abilities, and how much money I have," I instructed.

"Name: Aiden Blaze. Occupation: None. Bank account: 1.5 million yen," the Great Sage recited.

"What about my parents' details?" I inquired.

"According to the details, your parents are deceased. You have been homeschooled, haven't attended high school, and have no friends. It seems your identity has been created without any connections."

Sighing in relief at the simple backstory, I decided to try the helmet. Praying for the best, I put it on. The cool metal enveloped my head, and the world dissolved into darkness. Then, it spread, transforming my clothes into a midnight blue bodysuit adorned with gleaming gold accents. A golden collar materialized around my neck, pulsing with faint light. Finally, with a whoosh, a long golden cloak billowed behind me.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw a striking combination of blue and gold, reminiscent of the movie. As I felt the strength surging inside me, higher than 99% of the people in this world, I surprisingly didn't know what to do next.

With this much power, how boring will battles be? Shaking my head, what a stupid thought, I thought it was better to have a strong start than to be a weak person.

Rather than being satisfied with my current strength, I knew I had to improve it. Instead of going out to look at the scenery, I decided to stay inside my home, find some useful spells, and train them for a week.
