Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

2006 6 Month 5 Day.

Marvel Universe.

The pitch-black night sky, shrouded in a light drizzle, washed over the small town of Maggrave.

In the town's cemetery, the dim yellow light of the streetlights in the distance illuminated the figure of a boy, who was carrying a black umbrella, wearing a black jacket, T-shirt, and jeans, and a baseball cap.

His gaze was fixed on the tombstone in front of him.

The tombstone bears a photograph of a rugged-looking man who rarely smiles.

The name was reflected in the dark brown eyes of the black-haired boy.

Daniel Brown, 51 years old.

His name was Matthew Brown, and no one knew that this 17-year-old boy had become a completely different person.

Daniel, a veteran, adopted Matthew when he was a child and brought him to live in this small town. He was not good with words, but he devoted all his fatherly love to young Matthew and taught him a lot from a young age.

But Daniel died a month ago.

According to the police report, Matthew was shot and killed while chasing several drug dealers. Upon receiving the news, Matthew was devastated that day, and the extreme emotional state caused him to faint.

But perhaps because of this accident, he broke the mystery of his birth and awakened his memories of his past life.

Familiar names from his memory, such as Tony Stark and mutants, made him realize that he had been reborn into the Marvel Universe.

The fusion of memories from two lifetimes made Matthew mature instantly; this was a change brought about by life experience.

Based on this, Matthew suppressed his grief, and his rationality and calmness made him realize the details that he had not noticed before.

This made him question the police department's official death report. His eyes flickered slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a grove of trees dozens of meters away, which seemed dark and deserted.

But Matthew was certain that someone was watching them.

This skill comes from the training Matthew received from his adoptive father, Daniel, a veteran, from a young age, including firearms knowledge, shooting skills, and awareness of tracking and counter-tracking.

The surveillance and monitoring didn't just start today; it began after the funeral of his adoptive father, Daniel.

On one occasion, when he returned home, he noticed that someone had entered his house and searched it thoroughly. Although he put everything back in its original state, it still couldn't escape his observation.

After all, once he sensed the surveillance and noticed something amiss, he set up a secret network at home that only he knew about.

It's clear that there's more to the story than meets the eye in Daniel's death, and they must have uncovered something that forced the other party to commit murder. There must also be problems within the police department.

The opposing force was enormous; even the battle-hardened Daniel had been killed. What could a 17-year-old boy like him possibly do?

A cold glint flashed in Matthew's eyes.

He certainly had his own source of confidence, which was the system that appeared at the same time as he awakened his past life memories.

Check-in system.

You can check in every day. The check-in rewards are random, but there is a high probability that you will get nothing. However, you can accumulate daily check-ins. The more time you accumulate, the higher the quality of the rewards and the lower the chance of getting nothing.

It has been 32 days since the first day of the check-in system.

He tried to sign in a couple of days ago, but the rewards for the first and second days were empty. So he decided to patiently accumulate the number of days he signed in.

Today marks exactly one month.

He couldn't wait any longer, because he could sense that the people behind the surveillance were probably about to lose their patience.

The waiting time was agonizing, but Matthew was very patient.

Soon, the time was up.

"Ding~ You have accumulated 30 days of check-in. Would you like to enable monthly check-in?"

"Activate!!"

"Congratulations on obtaining the reward: the Glint-Glint Fruit ability. Would you like to fuse it?"

Matthew's pupils suddenly dilated, a tidal wave of emotions surging within him.

The Glint-Glint Fruit originates from the world of One Piece and is a Logia-type Devil Fruit, one of the top-tier fruits.

The user was Admiral Kizaru Borsalino, one of the Navy Headquarters' top combatants.

After consuming it, one becomes a "light man," capable of turning any part of their body into light and possessing the speed of light. They can perform light-speed attacks and move at the speed of light, and can use the speed of light to deliver powerful blows. Their body can emit intense flashes of light, causing enemies to be temporarily blinded.

Of course, the speed of light is debatable.

From a scientific perspective, if a person could move at the speed of light, any attack they made would generate incredible energy, enough to easily destroy a planet.

The attack power that Kizaru has demonstrated in developing and using the Glint-Glint Fruit is far from reaching the standard of destroying a planet.

Regardless, the power of this fruit is enough to grant him strength beyond that of ordinary people.

"Fusion!!"

"The fusion begins."

As the cold, mechanical voice fell, Matthew felt as if his body was undergoing inexplicable changes—his body, bones, cells, internal organs, and so on. But these changes only lasted for a moment before they completely ended.

As if by instinct, Matthew felt he could unleash a certain power, as if he could manipulate a part of his body at will.

Even his already strong physique became slightly stronger.

It seems that some things can be started ahead of schedule.

Matthew reached out and adjusted his baseball cap, looked at his adoptive father Daniel's photo, moved his lips slightly, and then turned and left.

Life goes on.

Matthew didn't go to school anymore. For five days, he stayed home and did intensive fitness training, always making sure he had enough food to support the intense workouts.

There is a dedicated fitness area at home, equipped with professional weight training equipment, which Daniel specially created for himself and Matthew to exercise.

Five days of intensive training allowed Matthew to feel his body visibly strengthening, making him significantly stronger than before the sign-in reward. He also tried out some of his abilities at home.

This gave him a basic understanding of his own ability threshold.

It can transform into elements and also fire laser beams, using its fingers and eyes, though the power is uncertain. It can also use Kizaru's Yasakani no Magatama to unleash a barrage of densely packed, flashing energy balls, and can also perform a light-speed kick.

Of course, this light-speed kick is far from being as fast as Kizaru's.

Or rather, it's not just limited to blessing the legs and feet, but also the arms.

He can also use light energy to create light element weapons such as swords, guns, and shields, and he can also transform himself into a beam of light and shoot towards something. Basically, he can use all the abilities that Kizaru can use.

However, it's a heavily weakened version.

Clearly, the system-rewarded ability of the Glint-Glint Fruit, rather than a Devil Fruit, allowed him to skip the early development stages and gain a more precise control over his ability.

At the same time, because his physical strength is insufficient, the consumption of his abilities requires a combination of physical and mental strength, which cannot be sustained for too long. Excessive consumption will also cause him to faint.

But that's enough; at least to ordinary people, he's already a monster.

So now he can go fishing!
