The First Chapter

Li Congxin "cried out" and transmigrated!

Through soul transmigration, he arrived in a world that, while seemingly not much different from his previous one, was actually hundreds, even thousands of times more dangerous – the Marvel Multiverse, specifically Earth-199999, the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Whether it was Captain America's heroic tales from textbooks or Tony Stark occasionally making headlines with gossip, both served as strong evidence supporting his deduction.

The reason he could pinpoint the universe's designation wasn't due to any deep, ingrained knowledge of Marvel from before his transmigration. His sole basis for this conclusion was that after searching through all the memories left behind by the original owner of this body, he couldn't find a single mention of Mutants.

This meant there were no Mutants in this world!

As far as Li Congxin knew, while the Marvel Multiverse had many worlds, this was the only one, or at least the only one he was aware of, where Mutants either didn't exist or their existence wasn't exposed to the public eye.

Perhaps this could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Compared to other Marvel universes, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was the one Li Congxin was most familiar with, and also the safest.

After integrating the memories from his past and current lives, Li Congxin had a basic grasp of the current situation.

The current year was 1998, still ten years before a certain mustachioed Tony Stark would ridiculously announce he was Iron Man, officially kicking off the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was also a full twenty years before a certain Purple Sweet Potato named Thanos would arrive on Earth and snap his world-ending fingers.

From a timeline perspective, things weren't too pressing. Whether he chose to fight or flee when the Purple Sweet Potato arrived, twenty years was enough time for him to make some preparations.

The body he now occupied shared the same name as his previous life, Li Congxin, with the English name Clark Li. His parents were both Chinese-Americans. Having grown up in America since childhood, he could be considered a true "banana" – yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

A year ago, the parents of the original owner of this body had died in an accident. He had inherited all their assets, including a house, a car, and a large fitness center that provided a steady income. The gym was located directly opposite his family's residential building, in a prime location in Manhattan, New York City!

In terms of background, it was also quite good. While he wasn't the second son of Stark Industries or Osborn Industries, he was still a rich second-generation heir. His financial situation was far better than it had been before his transmigration.

The only thing that bothered Li Congxin was the "persona issue" of "this Li Congxin"!

The original owner of this body was a severely overweight shut-in, weighing 120 kilograms.

And that was in kilograms!

This very same shut-in had the courage to pursue a beautiful girl from his class a month ago. What was even more unbelievable was that he actually succeeded!

The two of them had dinner that night, went shopping the next day, admired the sea the day after, attended a dance party on the fourth day, watched a horror movie on the fifth, slept together on the sixth, and broke up on the seventh day after waking up.

If the story had ended there, it would have been a pretty decent outcome.

Even though they didn't end up together, he had gotten all the benefits. Wasn't that pretty good?

But just yesterday, that beautiful girl suddenly announced a ranking in class.

The original owner of this body, a pathetic shut-in who rarely left his room except for classes, was utterly humiliated.

This immediately caused a stir.

And the original owner of this body, unable to bear the contemptuous, mocking, pitying, and sympathetic glances from his classmates, ended his tragic life by electrocuting himself.

And then, Li Congxin ended up occupying this electrocuted body, successfully completing his first soul transmigration.

Was there anything more ridiculous in the world?

Li Congxin felt he was even more pathetic than the original owner of this body!

Although the original owner of this body had lost all his reputation, he had at least enjoyed himself once. But Li Congxin? Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also had to bear this enormous burden!

Why him!?

Uh... it seemed that if this guy hadn't given up on life, it wouldn't have been his turn to transmigrate into this body.

But the problem was, who wanted to transmigrate!?

In his original world, although he lived a rather lazy life, he could at least support himself. Li Congxin felt that living a life like that would have been quite good. At the very least, his safety was guaranteed, his life was comfortable, and what more could he complain about?

In comparison, this world was far too dangerous!

Conan kills one person per episode, One Piece sinks a ship per episode, Naruto wipes out a village per episode, Ultraman destroys a city per episode, Dragon Ball annihilates a planet per episode...

But what were these compared to Marvel!

Half the universe dies with a snap of fingers, ever heard of that?

Glancing at the desk in front of him, at the lamp head that the original owner of this body had used to commit suicide, Li Congxin felt that if he touched it again, the chance of being electrocuted to death would definitely be higher than successfully completing a second transmigration, and even higher than transmigrating back to his original world by a huge margin.

After a moment of hesitation, he quietly screwed the light bulb back in.

What will be, will be.

He could only entrust his parents from his previous life to the care of his elder brother, elder sisters, and younger brother.

Just as Li Congxin decided to let go of the past and start a new life, his phone, placed beside his computer, suddenly rang: "Gong Xia Mi, Wo Qin Qing, Ti Ding De Xian Lu..."

He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.

Dave Lizewski

This guy was Li Congxin's classmate and best friend, so close they could share IP addresses, torrent files, and magnet links.

The call connected...

"Hello!"

"Hello, Li," Dave said with a chuckle after the call connected. "Do you know what? You've become famous!"

Li Congxin's face darkened. "If you're calling just to mock me, then our friendship is over."

"No! No! No!" Dave, sensing Li Congxin's displeasure, quickly explained, "Quick, check the forum. Someone posted that ranking on the forum, and now everyone in school knows your name!"
