The Bizarre Adventure of One Punch Man

One Punch Man World, Z City, Police Station.

Standing in front of the mirror in the police station lobby, Joson adjusted his collar with a serious expression.

The man in the mirror had black hair and blue eyes, a handsome face, and a well-trained, muscular body standing at 1.95 meters tall. His chiseled facial features appeared particularly resolute against the dark uniform, and even a casual glance from him carried immense intimidation.

From the memories of his predecessor, Joson knew that he was a newly appointed patrol officer, the lowest rank in the police force.

Joson was a transmigrator. Upon crossing over, he awakened a psychic Stand ability from the JoJo world, named "Fantasy Cards." The Stand's appearance was a deck of peculiar cards the size of playing cards, with their backs showing a pitch-black cosmic starry sky. The Stand's ability was to imbue objects with the concept of "cards," create Fantasy Cards, and control the power within them.

After a month of transmigration, Joson's soul and body had completely fused, and his Fantasy Cards awakened a second ability, "Fate Draw," which allowed him to randomly draw a Fantasy Card each day, with the number of draws accumulating over time.

Obviously, Fantasy Cards weren't the kind of human-shaped Stand that could directly fight. Its attributes might seem weak, but sometimes a seemingly weak Stand possessed powerful abilities.

In Joson's view, controlling the power of cards was essentially rewriting reality with the power of fantasy. He was just one divine draw away from reaching a top-tier Stand's level.

On the day his second ability awakened, a reminder appeared in his mind that he had gained an additional draw. Without hesitation, he made a draw on the spot.

A blank card popped out of the deck, wrapped in a bright blue flame—the spiritual fire of a Stand user.

When the flame subsided, the card's border turned a deep purple, and a corresponding card element pattern appeared on the previously blank card face—a red and blue spider.

[Fantasy Card: Spider Sense]

[Card Type: Ability Card]

[Rarity: SR]

[Description: Spider superpower, also known as "Peter's Tingle."]

[Effect 1: Danger Sense]

[Increased adrenaline secretion accompanied by a tingling sensation at the back of the head and raised hairs, warning of impending danger nearby.]

[Effect 2: Spider Time]

[Greatly enhances reflexes, dynamic vision, and perception abilities, allowing entry into a special state similar to "bullet time."]

Fantasy Cards varied in rarity, divided into four levels, each corresponding to a different border color.

N (Normal), white;

R (Rare), blue;

SR (Super Rare), purple;

SSR (Superior Super Rare), orange.

Most Fantasy Cards made from ordinary objects without extraordinary elements were N cards. Joson was lucky to get an SR card on his first draw.

Following the steps provided in his mind, he grabbed the card floating in the air and pressed it against his chest.

The moment they touched, the purple card silently shattered into countless sparkling points of light, which gathered like metal powder attracted to a magnet and merged into his chest.

Instantly, the spider superpower took effect, enhancing Joson's five senses at an astonishing speed, making the world around him seem to slow down.

For the first time, Joson experienced the unique charm of superpowers.

More than a week had passed since then, and through practice and exploration, he had become increasingly proficient in using his Stand abilities.

For instance, right now.

Clocking in to receive his equipment, Joson walked out of the police station and turned into a nearby alley.

Raising his right hand, he spread his palm.

Fantasy Cards!

Activating his Stand ability, a bright blue spiritual flame ignited, enveloping his body. A white-bordered Fantasy Card materialized and floated in the air.

From a bystander's perspective, the handsome young officer pressed the brim of his cap with one hand while raising his other hand, palm up—a scene that looked very much like something out of a fantasy.

[Fantasy Card: Small Police Motorcycle]

[Card Type: Item Card]

[Rarity: N]

[Description: A common small vehicle, also known as a "scooter."]

[Effect 1: Rapid Start]

[Low fuel consumption, rapid acceleration, a must-have for tough guys, flashy and imposing on the road.]

[Effect 2: Fuel Display]

[Remaining fuel: 68%]

Reaching out to grab the white card floating in the air, with a burst of dazzling special effects, the scooter's seal was lifted, transforming into a physical entity that appeared before Joson.

Vroom—

The engine roared wildly as Joson put away the kickstand and mounted the scooter in one swift motion.

Vremmm...

The scooter rapidly accelerated, carrying Joson toward his patrol area for the day.

The world of One Punch Man had undergone multiple global disasters, and the surviving humans formed a unified government, with cities named alphabetically.

Z City, where Joson resided, was the city where Saitama, the Caped Baldy, lived.

"Monsters, heroes..."

Riding the scooter, Joson's thoughts surged.

"Monsters," unique products of this world's rules, were dangerous creatures that appeared for unknown reasons, bringing harm to human society. Based on their threat level and difficulty to eliminate, they were officially classified into five disaster levels.

[Wolf: Creatures or groups that pose potential danger.]

[Tiger: Crises with significant casualties in an unspecified range.]

[Demon: Crises causing the stoppage or destruction of a town's functions.]

[Dragon: Crises resulting in the destruction of multiple towns.]

[God: Crises threatening human extinction.]

As for "heroes," they were brought into the spotlight by a piece of news reported not long ago.

A wealthy man with a butt-chin, Agoni, whose grandson was attacked by monsters, announced through the media the establishment of a privately funded organization dedicated to dealing with such incidents, aiming to eliminate monsters and protect lives. This organization was named—

"The Hero Association."

Following this, the power of money was unleashed!

Within just three months, this emerging private organization rapidly expanded under the financial onslaught. Branches were established in major cities, recruiting strong individuals to eliminate monsters and mitigate disasters. These increasingly discussed strong individuals in the public's conversations were—

"Heroes."
