A few weeks later, Will was sitting in the office space of his home, monitoring the recent news.
In the past few days, everyone had found out that the founder of Youtube, Whatsapp, and Facebook was none other than him.
Everyone had just assumed that the companies were part of the Oscorp group, having multiple shareholdings of different companies.
But it was revealed that all the ideas, UI designs, the features till 10th updates, had all been already planned by Will years before.
Other than this, it was also revealed that he also had a huge contribution in the Development of the Revolutionary Cradle Regeneration Tech, which can even cure cancer.
And how was it revealed?
It happened when a hardcore youtube watcher happened to search for a very specific thing: The 1st Youtuber
After scrolling through the relevant results like Who was the first youtube? Or Here are the 10 OG youtubers who started it all, he finally came across a particular channel at the very end of the list.
The name of the channel was precisely: The 1st Youtuber
But despite matching exactly what the guy searched for word to word, this channel only came at the end of the list, after at least one minute of scrolling. It came even after videos that had very low views or were completely irrelevant to the search.
Perhaps the guy just wanted to see if the list ever ends.
This channel, The 1st Youtuber, had no description, and only had one video, which was posted years ago. Even before Youtube was officially launched!
The guy who found this video was so jobless and he still played it without noticing the peculiarity of the date.
The video, which was not of very good quality, started with showing the back profile of a teenage kid, quickly typing away on the computer.
The image became clearer as the person recording the video walked closer and leaned down.
"What are you doing?" The camera man asked. It was a woman's voice. Soft and playful.
"I'm making the UI designs for a few internet applications."
"Internet Company? Aren't those too unreliable?"
"That's only for now. In the future, they'll be worth Trillions."
"Is that so? You're quite the visionary, aren't you?" The woman pinched the boy's cheek, seeming to not take it seriously. "Alright, tell me about your little applications."
And so the kid showed her. Exactly the concepts and designs of Youtube, Whatsapp, and Facebook, one by one in great detail.
The woman didn't interrupt him, only asking questions from time to time as she slowly realized that the ideas were actually valid.
"But why are you doing this?" In the end, the woman could only ask this after seeing the hard work the boy had put into the ideas. "Your dad is already one of the richest men in the world. You don't need to work so hard."
The boy shrugged with a smile.
"Well, didn't my dad reject your application for further funding for the Cradle Regeneration Technology? We still need quite a lot of funding. So, I decided to implement some of the ideas I had while growing."
The woman was silent for several seconds while the boy resumed his work. Then she hugged him tightly from behind, causing the camera to finally show her face.
It was none other than Helen Cho, the legendary inventor of the Cradle Regen. Tech.
"Why do you believe in me so much? You've already spent all the tens of millions you had accumulated throughout your childhood in my research," She asked, her voice muffled.
The boy slowly stopped working and just shrugged. "Because your research is the most feasible technology that can actually cure cancer."
"I… I'm so sorry… I should have known that," said Helen as she hugged the boy again.
The boy just smiled. "Well, it also helps that we'd make a shit ton of money if it's developed. And who knows? I might even be able to have a stronger body through it."
The video ended there.
The guy who discovered this video was so shocked that he frantically shared the video with anyone he could, and even made several videos about it while also reposting it through different accounts.
Soon, the whole youtube, whatsapp, and facebook community was shook, everyone making videos about it. And the media also picked up on the matter.
The boy's identity could not remain a secret, no matter how low a profile Will kept. His photos were available on the internet, just like any other Billionaire's children, even though no one really remembered him.
Will Osbor: the founder of Youtube, Whatsapp, and Facebook.
He grew into an overnight legend.
His past was dug and his obsession with finding a cure for cancer was also revealed: His mother died of late stage lung cancer when he was very young.
Despite all of Osborns' money and power, she could not be saved.
Everyone was convinced that the death of his mother impacted him so much that he decided to erase cancer. Either because he was scared, angry, or simply didn't want others to go through the same pain.
No matter what, Will was famous.
With just one video.
This was supposed to be the nuclear option of Will's Celebrity Route Plan, designed only for emergency cases. After all, it would only be an emergency that Will would bother getting such a huge amount of instant fame.
It would be too troublesome in Marvel World.
But, the results are worth it.

]
After he broke through the 50k mark, his Class changed from Novice Aura Farmer to Apprentice Aura Farmer.
He also got a class bonus with this upgrade: [Aura Sense]
He found that he could now sense his Aura better, which also helps him in practice and execution of his Aura skills, as he can sense the exact amount of aura his skills are using.
He can also sense the Aura of other people, a more interesting application.
He has found that even without fame, the Marvel Characters tend to have more aura, depending on how famous or powerful they were in his previous world.
Those people who were not mentioned in marvel can still have higher aura depending on how famous or capable they are in this world.
The tv and movie stars here have more aura, and same for rich business or those with government authorities.
Interacting or impressing these people can give him or more aura compared to normal people.
All this, he found through Aura Sense.
The other major change in his status is his Aura. It's more than 50k now, despite spending a considerable amount on his skills.
Don't think 80k as too little. If multiple normal people are affected, then he gets one Aura Point. And if he farms aura without being present in person, the Aura is even less.
It also makes sense, since the Aura energy need to travel a long way to reach him. In such a sense, 80k is still a LOT.
Such a huge amount of aura wasn't farmed simply through fame.
He made several more crime fighting trips in the White Elf Exoskeleton, or the White Knight, as they've now begun to call it.
He also doubled down on the identity, paying special attention to protecting the ladies. He was quite brutal the couple of times he had caught rapists.
But these trips only took a few hours a day at most.
In the remaining time, he used his new mental skills to devour the scientific and mathematical knowledge like crazy.
He found that for brief periods, the skill raises his IQ at least as high as Helen, while also making the processing power faster.
He had also made several discoveries about his new Skills.
First of all, he had discovered that he could actually control the intensity of [Mind Boost], thus also being able to increase and decrease the Aura consumption.
But it can only be done in a small margin. The highest he can go is not much superior to the intensity he was using in the spar. So it seems that he needs to upgrade the skill for better results.
Which brings up the second discovery: The skill proficiency and the skills can increase with repeated use.
In the beginning, even with Iron Will, Will could only use Mind Boost for brief periods before having to shut it down.
But over time, the time limit for use has increased. He has also experienced a slight increase in the performance, feeling like the max IQ and processing speed might also be increasing.
All this has kept Will in a jolly mood these days.
Until now, that is.
He looked at the pictures of two old men on his computer screen.
Yep, shit might be hitting the fan.
It was none other than Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto, the leaders of the two biggest Mutant Organisations.
Will knows that Mutants also exist in this world, so he has been very careful when selecting the targets for White Knight's Aura Farming.
Fortunately, the mutant society seemed to be relatively stable on surface, with no sign of the apocalyptic events he had read about in the comics.
But he only observed on the surface. Because…as they say, when you look into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.
So, Will has never dared to dig too deep.
The things have seemed so normal that he had begun to hope that the X-men events might never happen after all.
But as they also say, 'Don't be too happy when good things happen, or you might jinx it.'
It seems that he had indeed jinxed.
The picture he was seeing was a paused video of a recent Senate hearing about Mutant rights where a Senator out-debated Jean Grey, aka the Phoenix.
Recently, the UN World Summit was announced. And now this Senate hearing.
This is very similar to the events of the first movie of the X men, where Magneto, tired of discrimination and persecution against the Mutantkind, decided to turn all the World Leaders at the UN summit into Mutants.
Only, the technology he used to achieve this was quite shawdy since the transformation is not stable and most of the newly evolved mutants would die soon after.
So, we're looking at an incident that can potentially lead to the death of all World Leaders.
Since this world is so different from the original, there's no guarantee if the X-men would be able to save the day through luck despite being beaten and outsmarted repeatedly.
'Nope, this won't do.'
Will realized he can't just sit here and do nothing.
But, what to do?
Face Magneto?
Will really didn't like the sound of that.
No matter what, the Anti-Magneto suit has to be prepped up. He also needs other upgrades as well.
Will resumed the video, and had to pause it again as he received another surprise.
In the picture, he could also see a blonde woman who sat regally in one of the high chairs.
The tailored white blazer sculpting to the swell of her full chest before tapering at her narrow waist, hinting at the toned stomach beneath.
The pencil skirt clung to the smooth lines of her hips and thighs, the slit flashing a tease of long, thick, and toned legs crossed with lazy confidence. Platinum hair spilled over her shoulders in silken waves, framing a body that was all curves and discipline — sensuality wrapped in ice.
Emma Frost.
Will had no idea what she was doing here. And he had no idea which version of her this was. But she is also a threat.
The three giants of X men verse had gathered. Something was going to happen. And Will didn't know what the hell he was going to do.
While he was still in deep thought, the system sound rang in his ears.
[Quest Received]
While he was still bothered, an opportunity knocked on his door.
