Seven o'clock in the morning.
New York.
Forest Hills.
20 Ingram Street.
A gentle voice echoed through the house.
"Peter! Come down for breakfast! You'll be late for school!"
A series of creaks came from the slightly worn wooden staircase.
Then, a young man with short brown hair walked down, yawning.
"Don't worry, Aunt Mei! The timing is perfect!"
From the kitchen, a kind-faced, white-haired old woman poked her head out, continuing to urge him.
"You always cut it so close. Rushing into class right at the last minute isn't a good habit."
Aunt Mei, as the old woman was called, despite her somewhat simple clothes, kept herself very clean and tidy.
The kitchen, even right after breakfast, was the same.
All the utensils and seasonings were neatly arranged.
Everything was orderly, without a hint of disarray.
It was clear that Aunt Mei was a very meticulous and patient person.
"Mei is right, you really need to correct that little bad habit!"
Uncle Ben, also with white hair, pulled out the chair beside him, inviting Peter to sit next to him.
Uncle Ben was almost seventy, but he still looked very spry.
He still insisted on going to work every day.
Wearing black-rimmed glasses, his hair and beard were neatly trimmed, giving him a scholarly air.
After Peter sat down, Aunt Mei immediately handed him a plate of steaming hot syrup pancakes.
She didn't forget to remind Peter to eat quickly.
Finish eating so he could go to school.
Uncle Ben, meanwhile, was reading the newspaper and drinking coffee, leisurely eating his breakfast.
Looking at this incredibly warm scene, the young man named Peter Parker felt a bit dazed!
Although the Crossing had happened a month ago.
Peter still felt a little unfamiliar with his current life.
Because he was a transmigrator, he had transmigrated into the body of Peter Parker, who was destined to become Spider-Man.
However, the current Peter Parker had not yet been bitten by the radioactive spider.
So, strictly speaking, he was not yet Spider-Man.
But the day he would become Spider-Man was just around the corner.
Because today, Midtown High School would be organizing a visit to a Technology expo.
If nothing unexpected happened, Peter would become Spider-Man today.
But before that, Peter was more concerned about something else!
In the upper left corner of his retina, there was a line of small text.
"Time remaining until system loading successful — 2:58:17!"
Peter knew this was the golden finger he had obtained when he transmigrated.
So, in the first month after transmigrating, while the system had not yet activated.
Peter used this time to adapt to this new World and his new identity.
Now he just needed to wait for the countdown to end.
Judging by the countdown numbers on his retina, it would finish around ten o'clock this morning!
Peter calculated the time in his mind.
"That means the countdown will end right around the time the Technology expo begins!"
"Then I still have a choice. I'll make the final decision then."
"Whether or not to become Spider-Man depends on what this unknown golden finger is!"
After finishing the soft and delicious syrup pancakes, Peter grabbed his backpack, said goodbye to Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben, and left the house.
As the door closed with a bang.
Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben exchanged a smile.
"Have you noticed, Peter seems to have gotten a lot stronger lately? Not as thin as before."
Uncle Ben put the last piece of pancake into his mouth, then brought up a somewhat strange topic.
Aunt Mei nodded.
"Peter has indeed been working out lately. I saw him even buy dumbbells and an arm exerciser to train with."
"Even the consumption of tissues has increased a lot. I think he must be training very hard!"
Uncle Ben was also happy about this small discovery.
"It seems Peter has truly grown up. New York has been a bit unsafe lately, so getting stronger can help him protect himself!"
...Just as Peter walked out of his yard, someone unexpectedly patted him on the shoulder from behind.
At the same time, a youthful female voice came from behind Peter.
"Peter, good morning!"
Peter turned his head to look behind him. A young girl stood there, her face adorned with a warm smile.
The girl's golden, shoulder-length hair glowed with a soft golden light under the warm morning sun!
Coupled with her snow-white skin, like solidified cream, it even made Peter feel a little dazed.
Typically, Caucasian women, though fair-skinned, often had issues like rough skin and freckles.
The blonde girl in front of him, however, had none of those fatal skin imperfections.
Combined with her perfectly proportioned beautiful features, they formed a face that anyone would find stunning.
No matter how many times he saw her, Peter would think, 'She's truly beautiful!'
The girl's name was Gwen Stacy!
She lived next door to Peter, and they had grown up together, studied together.
They were completely childhood sweethearts.
Judging by the relationship between Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker in this Universe.
It seemed to belong to Earth-65!
In the Earth-65 Universe, Spider-Man was not Peter Parker, but Gwen Stacy.
This was the origin of Spider-Gwen.
What was even worse was that Peter Parker would be the key to Spider-Gwen becoming a true Superhero.
After becoming the Lizard, Peter Parker would die in Spider-Gwen's arms!
This was also the fate that a close relative or friend of Spider-Man would inevitably sacrifice.
However, in the month after his transmigration.
Peter had seen the figures of Iron Man and Daredevil, and a series of other Superheroes, appear on television.
Iron Man in this Universe was more similar to the MCU's setting.
Unlike the Earth Stark who was still selling weapons and had not become Iron Man at all.
Therefore, Peter judged that the Universe he was in should be a product of the fusion of multiple different U.S. comic Universes.
It was not a single U.S. comic Universe.
This was both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing was that this U.S. comic Universe would be more exciting, and Peter would gain more benefits!
The bad thing was that Peter's advantage of knowing the plot would be weakened.
The direction of the plot would undergo huge changes.
Fortunately, with the system about to load successfully, young Peter didn't feel so panicked!
