In a house in Manhattan, New York City, United States, a handsome young man with black hair was sprawled across a desk in the bedroom.
"Ah~, my head hurts so much, what happened?"
A sharp pain shot through Noah's head. He clutched his forehead, using his other hand to prop himself up on the desk and sit upright. He felt like his head was splitting open, on the verge of exploding.
"Uh, where is this?"
After a long while, Noah finally recovered from his headache. He looked up to see a completely unfamiliar room, and he was sitting at a desk. He looked at the computer screen in front of him, and he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt like he had become younger. Just as he was confused, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Ding~ Summoner's memory is fully awakened, system is officially loading."
"Hmm? What was that sound?"
He was still wondering why he was in this unfamiliar place when he was startled by the sudden voice. He seemed to have heard the word "system." System? Did I transmigrate like the protagonists in novels? But my appearance hasn't changed? Noah was still fantasizing amidst his headache when the system's voice sounded again.
"Please be prepared, Summoner, memories are about to be loaded!"
"Hmm? Memories, what memories? What the heck!"
"Bang~"
Just as Noah was wondering what memories the system was referring to, he suddenly felt a flood of recollections appear in his mind, followed by an intense pain in his head. This sharp pain caused him to instantly lose consciousness, and his unsupported body collapsed onto the desk. The room returned to silence.
"Ugh~"
Under the moonlight shining through the window, Noah woke up again, clutching his forehead. The lingering pain made him wonder if he had grown a lump on his head.
"Parents, car accident... Captain America? Iron Man? Uh… I'm still a bit confused? So I seem to have been reborn, and into the Marvel Universe?"
Noah had understood everything through the memories that flooded his mind while he was unconscious. It turned out he had already transmigrated—no, he should say reborn—reborn into the Marvel Universe, and today he had recovered his memories from his previous life, and the system bound to him had also been unsealed.
In this life, he was a Chinese person born in the United States. His parents had died in a car accident a few years ago, leaving him only their savings in the bank and this house.
He had lived alone since his parents' deaths and was currently a high school student. Moreover, Noah also found some familiar names in his memories: Captain America and Tony Stark. Weren't these characters he had seen in Marvel movies in his previous life?
After recalling the names of these two, he knew he had transmigrated into the Marvel Universe, though he didn't know if it was the movie Universe or the comic Universe. Noah was very worried about this. In his previous life, he had only watched some Marvel movies and learned about Marvel's content through video explanations; he hadn't read Marvel comics. However, he had learned from some posts that characters in the comics were much stronger than those in the movies, so he hoped he had transmigrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But he seemed to have a system, and he could only rely on it for reassurance.
"System, are you there?"
He didn't know how to open the system, so he called out to it both verbally and mentally.
"Hello, Summoner, the League of Legends Summoning System is at your service."
"League of Legends Summoning System? Is that its name? Does its function involve summoning heroes?"
Noah heard the system's very familiar name, League of Legends. In his previous life, he was terrible at this game, usually preferring to play chess and watch matches. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been playing this game just before he died in his previous life, and then he died while playing. He accidentally knocked over his water cup onto the power strip by his feet, and then he was electrocuted and transmigrated. He had seen this method of transmigration in many novels and never expected it would happen to him this way.
The recollection abruptly stopped. Noah shook his head and continued to ask the system,
"System, what are your functions?"
"Summoner, this system can summon the power of heroes for you, allowing you to possess the strength of heroes from the game's lore."
"Summoning requires essence. You can obtain essence by completing quests."
"Summoning can not only summon hero templates but also hero skins, various equipment, items, and World Runes."
"Upon summoning a hero or hero skin template, the Summoner can directly acquire the power of that hero or skin as depicted in the game's lore."
"Please explore more content on your own, Summoner!"
"The power of heroes and skins?"
After hearing the system's introduction to its functions, Noah immediately thought of Aurelion Sol, Bard, and Kindred. These seemed to be at the pinnacle of the game's lore. Besides these top-tier beings, there were also many powerful heroes: demigods, Aspects, demons, Darkin, Ascended, and the Void. These heroes were also extremely powerful entities in the lore. And Noah also heard the system mention hero skins. There were also many overpowered beings in the skin Universes, such as the Dark Star series and the Shan Hai Scrolls series. If he could draw those powerful heroes or skins, Noah felt he could live safely and without worries in this Universe. But first, he needed to figure out if this was the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the comic Universe.
"System, do you know if this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the comic Universe?"
"After system detection, this Universe belongs to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as per the Summoner's understanding."
"Oh, good, then I can relax."
Noah's hanging heart finally relaxed. Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe also had many crises, such as Thanos and the Celestials, it was much better than the absurd villains in the comics. If he could summon someone like Aurelion Sol in the future, he felt he would be invincible.
"Please open the panel, Summoner. You have one free ten-pull beginner summon opportunity."
"Hmm? There's a beginner's gift pack? That good?"
Just as Noah was about to ask the system how to do quests, he heard the system's prompt.
After asking the system how to open the panel, he mentally chanted to open the panel. A flash of light appeared, and a blue panel materialized before his eyes.
"Inventory" "Summon" "Quests" "Personal Information"
There were only these four options on the panel, very clean and tidy, with no recharge options at all. It clearly wasn't a pay-to-win mobile game made in China.
"System, this panel should only be visible to me, right?"
"Yes, Summoner."
Noah clicked on the Summon icon and saw two options appear before him.
"Summon" "Ten-Pull Summon"
Under Summon, it showed that one pull cost 600 essence. Under Ten-Pull, it showed 6000 for one pull, but currently, the top right corner of the icon displayed "Free Attempts: 1."
"System, is there a difference between a ten-pull and pulling ten times individually?"
"Yes, Summoner. After a ten-pull summon, you will receive an additional free treasure chest, which can yield essence and other items."
"Free treasure chest? It's not that daily chest that only gives 10 essence, is it?"
"Game is game, Reality Stone is Reality Stone. Please do not confuse them, Summoner!"
"Okay, I believe you."
Noah expressed doubt about the system's statement, but he chose to believe it for now, and then he tapped the Ten-Pull Summon button.
After Noah pressed the button, the interface began to change. The panel transformed into a blue vortex. This vortex was spinning rapidly, and then after a violent tremor, ten orbs of light plus a blue treasure chest flew out of the vortex and hovered in front of Noah.
"Whew~ I'm a bit excited! System, should I tap these orbs?"
After asking the system, Noah reached out and tapped the first orb. The light from the orb dissipated, revealing a bottle of red potion in front of Noah. The bottle was round, with an iron ring around the glass. Noah was very familiar with this item; it was the health potion from the game, the small red bottle.
"Is this a health potion? How do I take it out, System?"
"Summoner, you can store items in your inventory, or you can directly reach out and touch the item to retrieve it."
After hearing this, Noah directly reached out and grasped the phantom of the health potion, and then the health potion appeared directly in his hand. He felt the cold glass bottle in his hand, feeling inexplicably excited.
"Is this the health potion I used in every game before? It's so magical, it really appeared."
Noah held the health potion in front of his eyes, examining it repeatedly. The potion inside looked crystal clear, like flowing red agate. After examining the health potion, Noah placed it on the desk and then looked at the other orbs of light, reaching out to tap them one by one.
"health potion" "health potion" "Mana Potion" "Tear of the Goddess" "vision ward" "health potion" "health potion" "Mana Potion"
"Potions, a tear, a ward. No hero drawn?"
He tapped eight orbs in a row, drawing several potions, one piece of equipment, and a vision ward. Noah was a bit anxious. He didn't know if there was a guaranteed draw rule, only hoping the last orb would yield a hero.
Noah looked at the last orb of light. He immediately lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and activated the mystical method he often used for draws in his previous life!
"May Guan Yin Bodhisattva bless me, may the Jade Emperor bless me, may the Tathagata Buddha bless me, may God bless me, draw a hero, draw a hero!"
After a series of mystical incantations, Noah tapped the last orb of light.
As Noah's finger touched the orb, it suddenly erupted with dazzling light, then rushed towards Noah's chest. Before Noah could react, he was enveloped by a burst of light.
