Zzzzzzz..

CRACKEL..

BOOM!

A massive thunderclap shook the sky, followed by heavy rain pounding against the windows. Inside his dimly lit room, Dev lay sprawled on his bed, eyes glued to his phone screen.

"Man, another power-up? This MC is broken as hell," he muttered, scrolling through his favorite novel. His phone was still plugged into the charger, buzzing faintly as it charged.

Outside, lightning crackled ominously.

CRACKLE!

Without warning, a blinding bolt of lightning struck nearby. A power surge shot through the charger, sending a violent jolt of electricity straight into Dev's hand.

BZZZT!

"GAH—?! What the f—"

His entire body convulsed, his muscles locking up.

'No! This is NOT how I wanna go!'

'Damn!, is this how I'm gonna die, I don't even have girlfriend, I didn't achieve anything, more importantly I didn't finish most of the novels, shit....

As his thoughts swirling around his head...

His vision darkened, his consciousness slipping away.

Don't know how long it took but...

Warmth.

A strange, unfamiliar warmth surrounded him. His eyelids fluttered open.

'Huh?'

'My body feels tired and bit heavy...weird'

Instead of his bedroom ceiling, he saw aged wooden beams.

'Wait... This isn't my room.'

' is this hospital...but feels different'

' Wait I remember what happened...oh shit ..oh..ohhh fucking shit...did I just die'

'But I'm alive now'....' Wait..then...as his thoughts running he had a bad premonition.

Panic shot through his body as he sat up abruptly. His arms felt smaller, his movements lighter.

A mirror sat in the corner of the room. With hesitant steps, he approached it and—

His reflection made his brain short-circuit.

Staring back at him was a kid—black hair slightly messy, sharp golden eyes, and smooth skin.

"...No. No way."

His hands trembled as he touched his face. His heart pounded.

'Did I… just get reincarnated?!'

Suddenly—

BAAAM!

A splitting headache nearly made him collapse.

Memories surged into his brain.

This body was still Dev—but not the one he knew. His parents were quirkless and had died in an accident, leaving him a small fortune.

But the biggest shock?

He was in the world of My Hero Academia.

"...Oh. Oh, sh*t."

Dev sat down hard, trying to process it.

'No. This isn't good. This world is full of OP monsters. The likes of All Might, Shigaraki, and freaking OVERHAUL exist here. And let's not forget AFO—the biggest cheater in history!'

Sweat dripped down his forehead.

'Wait. WAIT. What if I'm just some background character?! Or worse—a random thug that gets one-shot by some hero?!'

Just as he was spiraling into full-blown existential crisis mode, a sudden DING! echoed in his head.

[DING!]

[System Activation]

[DING! Welcome, Host! Your "Infinite Realms System" has successfully activated!]

Dev froze.

"...What?"

[Congratulations! You've unlocked the one and only "Infinite Realms System!"]

A sweet, teasing voice filled his mind.

Dev blinked. "Wait… you talk?"

[Duh. Did you expect a boring text-only system?]

"...Fair. Uh, do you have a name, or do I just call you 'System'?"

[Eww, 'System' sounds so robotic. Call me… Eve!]

"Eve?"

[Yep! I have charm, wit, and I'm your guide to ultimate power! You're welcome.]

Dev raised an eyebrow. "You sure you're not secretly an evil AI plotting to take over my mind?"

[Please. If I wanted to control you, I wouldn't have chosen a weeb like you.]

"HEY!"

[Pfft! Relax, Host. I've got goodies for you! Opening System Panel!]

---

[Infinite Realms System]

→ Status

→ Shop (Unlocked)

→ Missions (Locked)

→ Infinite Worlds (Locked)

→ Inventory

---

Dev's eyes widened.

"Wait… Infinite Worlds?! Does this mean—"

[Yep! You can travel to different universes! But it costs Origin Points (OP) based on the world's power level and how many people you take with you!]

"...So I can go to Marvel, DC, Dragon Ball, and more?"

[Exactly~! But you're weak right now. So don't even THINK about trying to survive in Dragon Ball yet.]

"...Fair."

Taking a deep breath, Dev calmed himself.

'Alright. New world. New body. Overpowered system. Now, let's see what I got.'

[Oh, look at you! Already adapting! Here are your Novice Rewards!]

---

[Novice Rewards]

1. Kryptonian Bloodline (10% unlocked, no weaknesses)

2. Shop Unlocked (1000 OP granted)

---

Dev stared at the screen.

"…Did you just say Kryptonian?"

[Yup! Congratulations! You now have the potential to be the strongest being on this planet!]

"…I think I love you."

[Aww, you're making me blush~!]

Dev grinned. "So, no Kryptonite weaknesses?"

[Nope! Since this is a Novice Reward, there's no red sun debuff, no magic weakness, and no random plot-induced nerfs!]

Dev clenched his fists, feeling a surge of power inside him.

'Holy sh*t… I have Kryptonian DNA. I can be an actual Superman.'

But then—

[Buuut you only have 10% unlocked! You'll need to complete missions to get the full package!]

Dev groaned. "Damn it. I was hoping to go full Saiyan mode right away."

[Pfft! If I gave you 100% power instantly, you'd punch All Might into retirement.]

"...Again, fair point."

Taking a deep breath, Dev sat down.

'Okay. New world. OP system. Kryptonian bloodline. One year until U.A. starts.'

[Oh? Already planning ahead? I like it.]

Dev smirked. "Step one—training. Step two—making money. Step three—getting strong enough to break canon over my knee."

[Ooo, ambitious! I like that. Now, let's work hard host!]
