First World Travel & Leon: System, I Have an 8 A.M. Class!

The Boys World Travel Card? What kind of trash... Leon instinctively scoffed inwardly, but immediately realized something was off:

"Holy shit!"

"Homelander, Daddy's here to love you!"

"What?"

"You have a child?"

Leon's excited outburst woke Zhao Hailun beside him. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, but the moment she heard Leon calling himself Daddy, most of her drowsiness vanished as she questioned him.

"That's not true."

"I dreamed that we had a child named Homelander."

Leon made it up on the spot without even needing to think.

"Huh?"

"Our child?"

Zhao Hailun's face instantly flushed bright red.

She had only recently turned twenty. Though she was at an age where she loved boldly and passionately, she had never considered having children.

If Leon really wanted children, what should she do?

An inexplicable sense of panic suddenly rose in Zhao Hailun's heart.

She had heard that childbirth was extremely painful.

"Leon, I..."

Just as Zhao Hailun was about to say something, Leon sealed her lips with his, then comforted her. "Helen, it was only a dream. I told you before, your safety is what matters most to me."

"Mmm~"

Moved, Zhao Hailun pressed her face against Leon's chest and soon fell asleep again in peace.

The next day.

After explaining to Zhao Hailun that he would be disappearing again for a while, Leon went to Stark Tower and gave Tony and Pepper the same explanation.

"You're not even staying home this time. Next time, are you going to be unable to stay on Earth at all?"

"When you come back, should I say something like, 'I'm done with this life. Stay if you want, goodbye if you don't. There's no place for you in this family anymore'?"

Tony asked teasingly.

"Screw you."

"This family would fall apart sooner or later without me."

Leon jokingly spoke of the future ending he absolutely could not accept.

He had to create a world with Tony in it.

A world without Tony had no value in existing.

So...

You wouldn't want Pepper to become a widow, would you, big bro~

Thinking that, Leon bumped fists with Tony and explained seriously, "I really have to take a long trip this time. I'll probably bring back some local specialties."

"Bro, you'll definitely like them."

Leon sounded utterly certain.

After all, no guy could refuse superpowers. As long as Leon brought back a sample of Compound V and let Tony and Banner study it together...

With their astonishing intelligence, Leon had no doubt that they could develop a perfect, side-effect-free Compound V.

When that time came...

Pepper and all of Leon's lovely confidantes could each have a dose. That would be sweet as hell~

[... ...]

"Pepper, don't miss me too much."

Leon smiled.

"Who would miss a little bastard like you?"

Pepper said one thing but tightly held onto Leon's hand. She had a feeling that Leon would be going somewhere very far away this time, and she could not shake her unease.

"Alright, alright."

"Pepper, there's nothing to worry about."

"You know how strong I am now. The people who could hurt me there haven't even been born yet."

Leon affectionately brushed his left and right cheeks against Pepper's.

Finally, he looked at Sharon Kate, who had obediently taken to wearing a black silk hip-hugging skirt as her work uniform at Leon's request, and reminded her:

"Kate, remember to work hard for me. I'll be checking up on you when I get back."

"I will, Mr. Leon." Kate nodded elegantly, then replied in code, "I'll clean everything up and wait for your inspection when you return."

After settling his final affairs... Pah!

After settling everything.

Under their watchful gazes, Leon slowly rose into the sky. Then, with a burst of horizontal acceleration, he vanished from their sight in an instant.

The bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

The place where Leon's corpse had once sunk.

There was no light.

No sound.

Only silent darkness.

Casually enduring the enormous pressure of the deep sea, Leon took the "The Boys World Travel Card" from his system space.

Then—

He grabbed it and used it at once!

[Notice: You have used "The Boys World Travel Card." Your physical body will enter the world of The Boys in ten seconds. Please prepare yourself mentally in advance.]

What was there to prepare for?

Leon did not understand what the system's warning meant.

But when the ten-second countdown before the journey ended...

He understood instantly.

BANG!!!!!

It was as though someone had viciously struck him in the back of the head with a club. Even with Leon's terrifying physique, he was knocked unconscious in an instant.

This was probably the greatest physical damage Leon had suffered since obtaining the system.

If that "club strike" even counted as physical damage.

Then—

A flash of white light flickered over Leon's body, accompanied by the system's notification in his ears.

[Notice: You will enter The Boys world as "Soldier Boy." Connecting you to the spacetime node...]

System, I have an 8 a.m. class!

The Boys was broadly an R-rated antihero story that copied templates from numerous Marvel and DC superheroes.

Because Vought International had invented Compound V in the last century, a substance capable of artificially creating superheroes, this had become a world where superpowered individuals and ordinary people coexisted.

At the pinnacle of superpowered individuals stood Vought International's flagship superhero idol group—the Seven.

While assisting the government in punishing evil and maintaining peace as "vigilantes," they also carried out activities as "idols."

However.

Though the Seven appeared righteous and glorious on the surface, every one of them was a twisted scumbag in private.

While Compound V gave them superpowers, it also magnified the desires within their hearts.

Therefore.

The Seven regularly caused trouble, and whenever that happened, Vought International stepped in to clean up after them.

Because the Seven could bring Vought International unimaginable profits, Vought International would never allow them to fall from grace.

There could only be death, never disgrace.

Heroes could only die gloriously on the battlefield.

But even people made mistakes, and horses stumbled.

A-Train of the Seven got high in private one time and accidentally ran at super speed through Hughie Campbell's girlfriend while the couple was showing their affection on the street.

All he left behind were her two hands.

Under Vought International's public relations operation, A-Train issued an apology statement on television. But Hughie Campbell sensed not the slightest sincerity from it, only hypocrisy.

Unwilling to let it go, he began seeking a chance for revenge. Just then, a man named Butcher came looking for him...

Thus, the story of The Boys began.
