“Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and tell me.”
The girl waved her fair little hand in front of Feini’s eyes, urging him impatiently.
“My time is very precious. Hurry up and tell me, what was going on with that guy just now?”
“What are you busy with?”
His memories interrupted, Feini came back to his senses.
He frowned at the girl and said, “You’re still investigating that matter!? Skye, I’ve told you many times. That matter is dangerous. It’s not the time to investigate it yet.”
Skye Halseys was the girl’s name, and she was also Feini’s older sister.
However, she wasn’t his biological sister, nor was she a half-sister or an illegitimate daughter of some sort.
Rather, she had been accidentally summoned by him using the “Golden Grand Evolution Technique.”
It was also because of her that Feini successfully used this ability for the first time.
After obtaining the “Golden Grand Evolution Technique,” baby Feini spent every day doing nothing but eating, drinking, sleeping, relieving himself, and studying the system.
Although the “Golden Grand Evolution Technique” was incredibly powerful, there were countless other skills in anime.
He certainly wouldn’t complain about having too many abilities.
How to draw another skill became the main subject of his daily research.
Feini observed the changes in his mind every day.
It took him an entire month before he finally noticed that it moved ever so slightly each day.
This made him rather worried.
At this rate, he had no idea how many years it would take before he could perform another draw.
However, since he was still a toddler who could barely even crawl properly, there was really nothing he could do about it at the time.
And, as the saying went, blessings never came in pairs, while misfortunes never came alone.
When he was a little over one year old, he discovered that this world was different.
From the moment he transmigrated, Feini had already noticed that the era he had arrived in seemed to be relatively early.
Although there were plenty of electrical appliances in his home, they always seemed to have an old-fashioned feel to them.
Until one day, after he had learned to speak, he heard something on television about the fifth anniversary of the deaths of the wealthy businessman Howard Stark and his wife, as well as the latest achievements of their son, Tony Stark.
Only then did Feini realize what kind of world he had arrived in.
At that moment, he finally became nervous.
All the plans he had previously made about making money and living a comfortable life were thrown out the window.
Marvel.
Feini was certainly familiar with the word.
In his previous life, he had also loved watching the movies.
But he had never imagined that he would actually end up in a world like this.
This was a world where aliens were everywhere, superpowers were as common as stray dogs, and even the universe itself came in multiple varieties.
After learning that the father of the future Iron Man had died, Feini immediately began investigating the outside world.
Fortunately, since he was already a little over one year old, his curiosity didn’t seem particularly strange.
Through his investigations, he discovered that there were no mutants in this world.
That meant the danger level of everyday life had dropped considerably, which made Feini breathe a small sigh of relief.
However, it also confirmed that he had indeed arrived in the Marvel universe.
After all, there were places such as the Captain America Museum.
Whenever he thought about how he might eventually turn into dust because of a certain purple sweet potato making a single snap of his fingers, Feini felt an overwhelming sense of urgency.
He didn’t want to gamble on a fifty-fifty chance.
And considering how disaster-prone New York was, without a little luck, there was no guarantee he would even survive until the snap happened.
Thus, while Feini anxiously researched how to use the “Golden Grand Evolution Technique,” seven years passed before he knew it.
During those seven years, he had tried relatively gentle methods to stimulate the growth of his experience bar, such as exposing himself to safe levels of electricity and increasing his food intake.
Unfortunately, none of them worked.
But perhaps fate had its own plans.
That very year, Feini finally released the “Golden Grand Evolution Technique” for the first time.
And he did so under a circumstance he absolutely never could have imagined.
Because Feini had the memories of his previous life, he could be described as exceptionally clever, well-behaved, and adorable from childhood onward.
However, he had never revealed anything unusual about himself.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA were still rather terrifying at this point.
If they discovered something strange about him, he would be finished.
Even so, his parents, who had their first child relatively late in life, adored him immensely.
After being reborn, Feini was extremely uncomfortable with this kind of excessive affection.
He had tried resisting it and even attempted to explain things to them.
In the end, he was practically one step away from deliberately becoming a troublesome brat who caused trouble everywhere and drove his parents crazy.
So, when he was seven years old, his parents dragged him around the mall for an entire day on his birthday, forcing him to accept a huge pile of childish gifts.
He finally couldn’t take it anymore.
That night, Feini sat on top of the enormous pile of unbearably cute stuffed toys in his room.
His mind was unusually calm as he stared at the ceiling lamp, thinking about how he could become an annoying “brat.”
But at that moment, an inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
“If only I could have an older sister!”
What Feini really meant was that if someone could share some of his parents’ affection, things might become easier for him.
As for why he didn’t choose an older or younger brother, most of the troublemaking brats he remembered seemed to be boys.
He didn’t want that kind of trouble.
As for a younger sister, he was only seven himself.
If a baby suddenly appeared, things might become easier for him temporarily, but she could very well become even more troublesome in the future.
So that option was eliminated as well.
That left only an older sister.
Originally, this was nothing more than a sudden thought from Feini.
He was an only child, and no matter how capable his father was, it was impossible for him to suddenly produce a biological older sister for Feini after already having him.
But strangely enough, the moment that thought finished forming, Feini suddenly felt an intense pain in his head.
His vision went black, and he nearly fainted.
Even though he didn’t actually lose consciousness, he felt as if he had been suffering from a hangover for three days and three nights.
His head was dizzy and heavy.
At the exact same time, outside Feini’s house, a cute little girl suddenly ran forward in a panic and slammed straight into their front door.
She, too, clutched her head and sat down on the ground.
The pain in his head left Feini completely bewildered.
But immediately afterward, the sensation that his words had actually become reality filled him with wild excitement.
Seven years.
An entire seven years!
Did this damn ability have any idea how he had spent those seven years!?
After resting for a while, he immediately checked the system in his mind.
To his surprise, the energy bar—which had naturally risen to more than half and looked much like an experience bar—was now completely full.
He could draw another skill!
But just as Feini excitedly prepared to make his draw, he suddenly heard his parents calling from downstairs.
That finally reminded him of what had just happened.
“It worked this quickly?”
Feini muttered to himself before temporarily putting aside his thoughts of drawing a skill and supporting himself as he made his way downstairs.
In the living room, a girl was sitting somewhat awkwardly on the sofa.
She had clear, bright amber eyes, curved willow-shaped eyebrows, and long eyelashes that trembled slightly.
Only the large bump on her flawless, fair forehead somewhat ruined her appearance.
His parents were sitting beside the girl.
Across from them sat a man and a woman, both wearing somewhat helpless expressions.
“Feini, this is Ma—”
“Skye!”
The girl interrupted Feini’s father.
In a crisp voice, she said firmly, “My name is Skye!”
“I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Halseys. We really have disturbed you tonight, but we truly have to return to Saint Agnes.”
The man sitting opposite the girl stood up and apologized.
“Saint Agnes!?”
Although Feini was feeling extremely uncomfortable and still didn’t understand why his ability had manifested in this particular way, he certainly didn’t want someone who might help him escape his predicament to simply leave.
“That’s an orphanage.”
Feini’s mother walked over with an expression of sympathy and took his hand as she explained, “Feini, your father and I want to adopt her. Is that okay?”
“Of course!”
Feini nodded rapidly.
Wasn’t this exactly what he wanted?
Find an older sister to share his parents’ excessive affection.
It was obvious that his parents already liked this girl very much.
When she heard Feini’s parents talking about adopting her, surprise flashed through the girl’s eyes.
But there wasn’t much happiness there.
Only loneliness and sadness.
Having already been placed with three foster families, she didn’t want to experience the pain of being thrown out of another home again.
However, her emotions couldn’t change the effects of the “Golden Grand Evolution Technique.”
Or perhaps it was simply the kindness of Feini’s parents.
The next day, Feini’s parents, who were both lawyers by profession, completed all the necessary procedures in just two hours.
And just like that, Feini gained an older sister.
After using the “Golden Grand Evolution Technique” to summon Skye, Feini developed a rough theory about the skill-drawing system.
He suspected that, aside from naturally increasing over time, the growth of the experience bar might also be related to using his abilities.
But what truly confirmed his theory was the second skill he drew.
As for Marvel, I’m actually not very familiar with it.
I only followed S.H.I.E.L.D. for two seasons, so to be honest, I originally didn’t want to write Skye into the story.
But later, I figured that whether I wrote her or not wouldn’t make much difference, so I decided to include her.
The plot of this novel should mainly revolve around the movies.
