The Beginning, Fusing with Homelander

1962.

A secret CIA base.

"Look, it's those freaks!"

"Turns out freaks eat the same stuff we do!"

"How did they even become freaks?"

"Who knows? Maybe you can ask them yourself?"

Inside the cafeteria.

People walking by and those eating in every corner couldn't help but stare at the table of young people in the northeast corner, pointing and whispering.

It was as if they were watching clowns at a circus.

"I've really had enough of these idiots!"

A boy with curly yellow hair couldn't help but slam his hand on the table, glaring viciously at the surroundings as he cursed under his breath.

"Sean, you should have gotten used to this by now."

A girl with long black hair and a cicada-wing tattoo on her arm, sitting across from the curly-haired boy, was much calmer.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to it."

Sean shrugged and said to another blonde girl, "Raven, maybe you could talk to Charles and have him wipe these idiots' memories. That way, we wouldn't have to be gawked at like animals in a zoo every single day."

Raven, however, smiled at the Asian boy sitting next to her: "I still think it's more reliable to let Rorschach throw them all out one by one with one hand, right, Rorschach?"

Don't let Rorschach's delicate, refined appearance fool you; he carried a scholarly air just like Hank, and at first glance, one would assume he was a top student at school.

However, everyone at the table knew what kind of power was contained within Rorschach's unassuming body!

He could actually lift a car with one hand with ease!

Tossing those two-hundred-pound men out wouldn't be any harder than throwing away a piece of trash.

"Rorschach?"

Rorschach didn't respond, seemingly lost in thought, so Raven poked his arm.

Rorschach?

Hearing this name, the Asian boy couldn't help but be stunned.

Almost forgot, that's my name in this world!

That's right.

The Asian boy wasn't actually from this world; he was a transmigrator from Blue Star.

In his previous life, Rorschach had actually lived a decent life, graduating from a decent university before landing a job at a mid-to-high-tier local company.

Because he was steady and motivated, combined with a little bit of luck, he had been promoted to middle management within three years, earning two hundred thousand a year.

He wasn't exactly wealthy, but he was already doing better than the vast majority of people.

The only regret might have been that he was so busy with work that he neglected his personal life, leaving him a single man at twenty-eight.

But who could have guessed that on his way to a blind date, a sudden downpour would start, a bolt of lightning would strike from the sky, and Rorschach would be lucky enough to win the jackpot!

When he opened his eyes again, Rorschach found that he had already appeared in another world and had become someone else.

To be honest, Rorschach was a bit panicked at first.

Because he discovered that this world had mutants, Captain America, and Howard Stark!

Of course, Captain America was long "gone," but that didn't stop him from being a national icon.

Simply put.

This was a world with gods, dimensional demons, and all sorts of crazy aliens, where crises capable of destroying a city or even the entire Earth could erupt at any moment!

Ordinary people living in such a world could easily become cannon fodder, dying without even knowing how.

Especially ordinary people living in New York.

Fortunately, just like countless other transmigrators, Rorschach had bound a golden finger when he arrived.

Host: Rorschach
Age: 16
Speed: 53 m/s
Strength: 7.2 tons
Physique: 124 (Average healthy adult male: 10)
Mental Power: 82 (Average healthy adult male: 10)
Current Template: Homelander (Unlock progress: 1%)
Abilities: X-ray Vision (Basic), Super Hearing (Basic), Flight (Locked), Heat Vision (Locked)

Origin Points: 0

With a mere thought, an attribute panel that only he could see appeared before Rorschach's eyes.

To be honest, Rorschach didn't actually know what kind of system this was, as it didn't have a name.

However, the system's function was obvious: it allowed Rorschach to acquire the abilities of Homelander, and it had even granted him a beginner's gift package the moment he transmigrated.

A one-percent progress pack.

Do not underestimate this one percent; it had directly granted Rorschach strength, speed, physique, and mental power far exceeding that of an ordinary person!

Although it might be a bit lackluster in the later era when monsters ran rampant, one must not forget that the first battle of the X-Men had not yet begun.

Mutants had not even truly surfaced, nor were they known to the world!

Many people did not know that a group like mutants existed in the world, and even upon hearing such rumors, they would only treat them as jokes.

Even Magneto and many other mutants believed they were the only mutants in the world.

This was also why the ordinary people at the CIA treated these mutants in the cafeteria like Joker, rather than feeling fear, disgust, or rejection.

Just as Sean had said, they mostly looked at everyone like they were monkeys.

As for why Rorschach was at the CIA?

It was because the future Professor X, Charles, had reached a cooperation agreement with the CIA. To counter Black King Shaw, Charles decided to assemble a mutant team of his own.

Rorschach, along with the future Banshee, Angel, Darwin, and Havok, had been brought to this secret base one after another to become candidate mutant agents.

"Rorschach? What are you thinking about?"

Raven's voice rang out again, interrupting Rorschach's train of thought.

Rorschach cast aside the messy thoughts in his mind and replied casually, "Nothing, just a bunch of people who think the sky is only as big as the well they sit in. Don't mind them."

"Sit in a well to look at the sky?" Raven blinked her eyes. "Rorschach, what does that mean? Who would sit in a well to look at the sky?"

The others around them also looked at Rorschach with confused expressions.

A bunch of illiterates!

They couldn't grasp the profound depth of Chinese culture.

Rorschach grumbled inwardly and began to explain to everyone, "This phrase refers to a toad living at the bottom of a well. It thinks the entire world is just that one well; how could it know how vast the world outside is?"

"I get it, you're calling those people toads!" the tattooed girl said, suddenly enlightened.

Rorschach was completely speechless. It's called an allegory, do you understand?

Calling people names is so vulgar.

"A very vivid metaphor!"

A voice rang out.

The few people who were eating instinctively stopped what they were doing and looked at Erik, who had suddenly appeared.

Although Erik was not the official CIA liaison like Charles, Erik's strength was incredibly, incredibly powerful.

The specific affairs of the mutants were actually handled by Erik and Charles together.

Although Erik had only arrived a month or two earlier than them, everyone regarded Erik as a senior.

Of course, Erik was indeed quite a bit older.

This old hack has started a new book again, riding the coattails of the Homelander trend, begging you guys for collections and recommendation votes.
