[Third Person Point of View]
"Last day of relaxation before returning to the routine" – said a boy with a sigh and then stretched while lying in his bed.
This boy is Conner Strong, a normal person without many aspirations in life. He is an orphan, his parents died when he turned 18 so he did not go to college since he had to work to support himself.
He comes from a normal family so the only thing he inherited from his parents' death was his house and a few other things.
He does not have any other family to rely on, his grandparents had died and he has no contact with any of his uncles and cousins, so he was alone.
He also has no relationships beyond work friends, unfortunately for him all the girls he has asked out have rejected him. So no romantic relationships.
Life is a bit hard for him, but he copes by watching anime in his free time, right now he's finishing a marathon of the first season of an anime that he was waiting for to come out in full so he could watch it.
"The little solo leveling marathon was nice. I really liked the final battle between Sung Jin-woo and igris. But hey, I better go to sleep because I have to wake up early tomorrow." – Conner muttered as he settled into bed and tried to fall asleep.
[Unknown Space]
'What? Where the hell am I?' – Conner woke up confused and tried to open his eyes to realize he couldn't see anything.
'Why the hell can't I feel my body?' – he asked himself again when he realized he couldn't feel his body or speak.
[We regret to inform you that you have died]
'WHAT THE HELL!?' – he shouted in surprise after a blue screen appeared in front of him.
"HOW DID I DIE? WHY? WHEN? HOW?" – Very confused, he began to ask many questions.
[For the first time in 1,000 dimensional years there was an error in our systems that killed you wrongly before we could solve it]
'What!? So, you couldn't revive me or something? It should be possible for you, right?' – He asked wishing inside that the screen would say yes it could, but not everything goes as one wants.
[Unfortunately we can't do that]
'What? Why?' – he asked disappointed. He had a "good" life that he had built up hard after being left alone, he doesn't want to lose that.
[But as compensation for having killed you, you will be transmigrated into a different universe and you will also get some random gifts. Don't worry, we will make sure you don't get something useless, but we don't make sure you get something you want]
Unfortunately, they didn't answer him.
'What? Hey no, I don't want to become an identity-stealing parasite.' – He flatly refused, he would accept reincarnation, but transmigrating is a big No for him.
As he sees it, a transmigrator is someone who steals a person's identity, like a doppelganger, while a reincarnated person is born directly as them and doesn't steal anything.
He hasn't even had time to adjust after knowing that he was dead and couldn't revive his old life, now he's supposed to replace someone else. It's too much for him to accept…
[It's not something you can decide]
But again, they answered him curtly without caring about anything.
'…' – He didn't comment on that, realizing that he has no say in this. Actually in a way he should feel grateful that they'll compensate him for killing him, but this way…
[You will be transmigrated as Superboy (a clone of Superman) in an alternate DC universe]
'…' – Again, he didn't comment anything while he screamed internally after reading who he will replace and where he will be transmigrated to.
Superboy, or as Conner knows him, the clone of Superman and Lex Luthor. Following the animated versions he saw, Superboy is a failed or weaker clone of Superman that Lex Luthor created or rather financed to create.
Now he only hopes that he is a Superboy who has not yet left his solar capsule and not one who already has a life of his own. It will be difficult to accept if it is the latter.
But right now that doesn't matter much, what does matter is that he will be sent to one of the most horrible universes that exists… The DC universe.
He, without being an unconditional DC fan, knows that this universe is a disaster. People who can destroy the planet or universe if they so wish, equally powerful technology and crazy people by the bucketload.
Infinite Crisis.
Of course there are many worse worlds, but that doesn't mean that the DC universes, even the calmest one, have more threats of planetary destruction per year than shark attacks.
But of course, whatever he was writing to her ignored her feelings again and another screen appeared showing what he got as a gift.
[You got:
[Ability: Mode Change]: An ability that allows you to create two forms apart from the original form.
[Physical Cultivation Art]: A physical cultivation art that has a special physical training method and a meditation method (energy absorption).
[5 movements and 2 Pokémon abilities]: Abilities: Prism Armor, Sturdy.
movements: Fusion Flare, Heal pulse, Brave Bird, solar beam, extreme speed.
The technique, movements and abilities will be adjusted so that they can be used by you. The technique can only be used by those that you have personally taught.
You will also be given the ability "Resistance against mind control and mind reading" to prevent you from being mind controlled by any means or reading your memories of your previous life. Keep in mind that it only makes you resistant to that, but it won't prevent unwanted mental communications or mental attacks, among other things.
Consider it as a separate gift]
'Thank you?' – he doesn't know how to feel after that. Now it turns out that the system wants to be good after deciding to send it to the universe of crises.
But he tried to see the positive side, now I won't just be the weak clone of Superman… At least that's what he wants to think.
[You will now be transmigrated to your new body and remember, this transmigration is a one-time opportunity, if you die and have no way of your own to revive, you will die permanently.]
'(Mental sigh) Thank you very much for this.' – He thanked sincerely.
As much as he dislikes where they are going to send him and the way he is going to be revived, those who killed him certainly didn't have to revive him and give him so much, so he is grateful for the opportunity. Even if the shape and place are horrible.
And after he thanked the holographic display he disappeared leaving him in darkness again. It was not long before he was transported into his new body and universe.
[Conner's POV]
[Already in the other universe]
"You guys stay tuned, we don't know how he might react after waking up." - I managed to hear a voice while I woke up, but I stayed for a moment because my body felt a little slow.
"Oh, come on, if he were to attack we could take care of him easily" - an annoyed voice said.
"Shhh, it seems like he's already waking up"-said another voice.
Opening my eyes slowly and letting my eyes get used to the light, what I could see in front of me were 3 young people dressed in superhero costumes...
Yes, those three are Aqualad, Kid Flash and Robin.
Then I looked at them and they looked at me and we fell into silence while I thought. - 'Now what do I do in this situation.'
