The first thing he felt was pain.
A deep, throbbing ache in his ribs, like he'd gone ten rounds with a heavyweight boxer. His head pounded, his throat dry.
Then came the sound of someone yelling.
"Boy! Get up! Breakfast, now!"
The voice was unfamiliar and yet… too familiar at the same time.
He groaned, sitting up in the cramped space. His eyes adjusted to the dim light filtering through a crack in the door.
A cupboard.
He blinked. Wait… no way. This— this is the Dursleys' cupboard. From Harry Potter.
The last thing he remembered was lying in bed after a Power Rangers marathon. Then a blinding light. Then… this.
Before panic could fully set in, something even stranger happened.
A soft ding echoed in his mind, and a blue holographic window flickered into view.
[Ranger System Initializing…]
User: Reincarnated Soul Detected.
Designation: Red Ranger.
Welcome to the Ranger System, the Power Grid's Chosen Defender!
"…I'm sorry, what?" He rubbed his eyes. The screen stayed.
[Initializing Starter Pack…]
Three small flashes of red light burst before him, landing neatly in his hands.
He stared.
Three metallic keys, each detailed with the insignia of a different Ranger team.
[Starter Ranger Keys Generated!]
🔥 SPD Red (Jack Landors) – Power of speed and leadership.
🐉 Dino Thunder Red (Conner McKnight) – Power of the Tyranno Spirit.
⚔️ Gokai Red (Captain Marvelous) – Power of the Pirate Ranger, master of adaptability.
His jaw dropped.
"Okay… either I'm dreaming, or I just got an isekai loot drop from the Morphin Grid."
He turned one of the keys over in his hand, the metal warm to the touch. Suddenly, another prompt appeared.
[Morpher Materializing…]
Type: Legendary Ranger Key Morpher (Universal Model)
Command: 'It's Morphin Time!'
A silver-and-red Morpher in the shape of a phone apread in his hand (note has a bracelet form)
He almost dropped it. "Okay, that's actually kinda sick."
"BOY!" Uncle Vernon's voice thundered again. "If you're not down here in ten seconds—!"
Harry glanced toward the door, then back at the keys.
His lips curved into a smirk. "You know what, let's test this thing."
He held up the Gokai Red Key.
He twisted the key into the Morpher and shouted:
"Gokai Change!"
