Chapter 1: Hogwarts Legacy
"Zack, take this controller and replace me. I'm tired of playing Hogwarts Legacy," said my older brother.
"What? How can you be tired of playing video games?" I asked in shock, then looked at the TV. "Isn't that the final boss?"
"Yeah, it is. But I've lost so many times fighting that bloody dragon!"
"But if I replace you, all your effort will be wasted."
"Don't worry. I've already beaten all the final bosses on easy and normal modes. I just wanted to try my luck on the hardest difficulty," my brother explained. "I've maxed out all my talents and skills, but I've lost like a hundred times."
"Okay, I'll take over."
Five minutes later...
"Hahaha! Why did you choose the nickname 'Dudley Dursley' and put him in Hufflepuff?" I asked, laughing.
"Oh, I think Dudley fits in Hufflepuff. Plus, there's a kitchen near the Hufflepuff common room," he replied with a grin.
"Okay, fair enough." After another twenty minutes, I said, "Look, bro! I finally beat the final boss!"
Suddenly, my vision went dark, and I was awakened by a voice.
CONGRATULATIONS
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO BECOME DUDLEY DURSLEY
PLEASE CHOOSE WHICH MODE YOU WANT TO PLAY AND AT WHAT AGE?A. FROM THE BEGINNING (0 YEARS OLD)B. 15 YEARS OLD
"What?" I was stunned. How the heck did I go from playing a game to suddenly transmigrating into a game character?
Then, words floated in front of me.
"Is there any difference between starting at 0 years old and 15 years old?" asked Dudley.
"Yes. If you start from 0, you'll have more time to prepare for the war. But if you start at 15, you'll jump right into the climax of the story."
"Climax? Do I get any special powers if I start at 15?"
"You'll inherit all the abilities and items from Hogwarts Legacy."
"You mean I can use Mage Sight and ancient magic?"
"Correct, host. Only wizards capable of using ancient magic awaken as wizards at 15."
"But if I become a wizard at 15, won't I attract unnecessary attention?"
"No, host. This universe is different from Hogwarts Legacy. The Artificial Intelligence will take over your body and become a wizard at age 11. You will appear when you turn 15."
"That means I've already mastered spells like Expelliarmus and Lumos?"
"Correct, host. The body has already learned those spells. You just need to recall them—they'll respond like muscle memory."
"Okay, I'll choose B," I said and clicked B.

After a minute, I found myself standing in an empty room. "Where... Oh, this is Dudley's bedroom."
We will now transfer Dudley memory into your mind.
Agree or Disagree?
But before I could answer, I heard a female voice calling out.
"Dudley?" The door opened, revealing a woman.
I looked at her, and something clicked in my mind.
'Isn't Dudley living with his family? So this woman should be Petunia Evans,' I thought.
"Yeah, Mom?"
"Are you okay, darling?"
"I'm fine," I said with a smile at what was now my mother.
As I looked at her, another thought came to mind.
'Wait... wasn't she supposed to be ugly? I remember Harry describing Petunia Evans as having a long neck. But now that I see her, she looks like a mature woman in her thirties—pretty, even.'
'Ah, right. That must've been because of Harry's point of view. To him, his aunt was a nightmare, so he saw her as a monster. But from a normal adult's view, she's actually quite beautiful for her age. I mean, how could Lily Evans's sister be ugly when Lily herself was stunning?'
Then another question struck me.
'Wait a minute... is this the movie or the book? If it's the movie, it'll be a pain in the ass. But if it's the book, I might actually have more advantages.'
