here…

….

Meanwhile, Raja continued driving toward Peter’s house, one hand resting casually on the steering wheel while the other tapped against the gearshift.

His mind, however, was occupied with a rather unusual problem.

“So let me get this straight…”

“Yes.”

“Bruce, Betty, and Hulk are now technically living inside my dimension.”

“Correct.”

“And they need a house.

And furniture.

And laboratories.”

“Eventually…”

Raja sighed as he felt the head ache.

“And food.”

A pause.

“…Presumably.”

“Zarathos.”

“Yes?”

“Do you have any idea how expensive all of that is?”

“You possess a dimensional realm.”

“That doesn’t mean I possess unlimited money!”

He rubbed his forehead.

“I can’t exactly walk into a hardware store and say, ‘Hello, I’d like enough construction material to build a house, a laboratory, furniture, plumbing, electrical systems, and whatever else a cellular biologist needs.'”

“Then don’t buy it simple.”

Raja frowned hearing him.

“…What?”

Zarathos voice remained completely calm.

“Why purchase raw materials?”

“Because that’s how construction works?”

“There are abandoned structures throughout this world.”

Raja blinked in confusion where Zarathos was going.

“…Go on.”

“Find an abandoned house.

Take the entire structure.

Place it within your realm.”

Raja nearly missed a turn.

“…You can do that?”

“Of course.”

“Wait.”

He stared ahead at the road.

“You mean I can literally take an entire house…

and put it inside my dimension?”

“Yes it’s a petty matter.”

Raja’s mouth slowly opened.

“…Why the hell didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

“You never asked.

And you were like I am going to do something don’t stop me.”

“…”

Raja stared at the road in silence.

That was technically true.

He had spent days worrying about how he was going to afford construction materials when he could apparently just steal an entire abandoned building from Earth and relocate it into his supernatural pocket dimension.

“You’re telling me I’ve been giving myself a headache for nothing.”

“Essentially young man….

Have some drink and chill…”

Raja sighed as she shook his head.

“Fine.

At least we have a solution for now.”

He would still need to figure out how to acquire food, equipment, electricity, water, and other necessities without making the existence of his dimension obvious.

Even through he was providing them essentials now.

But he need to find a stable solution for it.

But that was a problem for another day.

Right now…

There was another matter he had almost forgotten.

“System.”

“Yes, Host?”

“I still have two unused template draws, right?”

“Affirmative.”

“Let’s use them.”

The world around Raja immediately disappeared.

Legacy Archive…

Raja found himself standing once again in the enormous library.

Towering bookshelves stretched endlessly into the darkness.

Thousands of glowing cards floated through the air.

Bronze.

Silver.

Gold.

Platinum.

The cards began circling him.

Faster.

And faster.

Their different colored auras blurred together until the entire library looked like a gigantic whirlpool of light.

Raja folded his arms.

“Alright…

Let’s see what we’ve got.”

The spinning cards suddenly slowed.

Two cards separated from the mass.

They floated toward him.

One stopped directly in front of his face.

The other hovered several meters away.

The first card flipped.

A man in a black suit stared back at him.

Expression cold.

Eyes focused.

A handgun in one hand.

A pistol in the other.

The name appeared beneath the image.

“SILVER TIER”

[JOHN WICK

“The Baba Yaga”]

Raja’s eyebrows rose.

“…John Wick?”

The card expanded showing the stats.

Raja stared at the card.

“…Okay.”

A slow grin appeared.

“That’s actually pretty damn useful.”

He couldn’t deny it.

Even though John Wick was only human, the man’s combat experience was ridiculous.

Firearms.

Hand-to-hand combat.

Improvisation.

Tactical awareness.

Stealth.

Vehicle combat.

Survival.

And most importantly…

Willpower: 99.

That alone made the template valuable.

But before Raja could examine it further…

The second card began glowing. The source of this chapter is g.com.

It slowly rotated.

Silver light surrounded it.

Then…

Flip.

Raja froze looking at the image.

The image showed a massive snow-leopard-like warrior with blue-gray fur, powerful muscles, and a vicious expression.

His arms were crossed.

His eyes radiated arrogance.

The name appeared.

Raja’s mouth fell open.

“…No way.”

He stepped closer.

“…Tai Lung?”

The card remained floating silently.

Raja stared at it for several seconds.

John Wick was already impressive.

But Tai Lung…

That was a completely different category.

This wasn’t merely some highly trained human assassin.

This was a martial arts prodigy who had trained under Master Shifu, mastered an enormous variety of kung fu techniques, possessed superhuman physical abilities, and had once overwhelmed entire groups of highly trained warriors.

Raja slowly rubbed his chin.

“John Wick…”

His eyes moved toward Tai Lung.

“…and Tai Lung.”

Then back toward John Wick.

“One is basically the ultimate human combat specialist.”

His gaze returned to Tai Lung.

“And the other is a walking martial arts disaster.”

The corners of his mouth slowly rose.

“Hehehe…”

For the second time since obtaining the System,

The System remained silent.

Raja looked between the two cards.

“So…

I’ve got two Silver-tier templates.

Not bad.”

He paused.

Then his eyes narrowed.

“Wait.

Does the synchronization system work on these too?”

“Affirmative.”

Raja’s grin widened.

“So if my System level keeps increasing…

John Wick becomes more proficient.”

“Tai Lung becomes more proficient.

And Zarathos becomes stronger too.”

“Correct.”

Raja leaned back.

“…This System is ridiculously broken.”

Somewhere within his soul…

Zarathos chuckled hearing the excitement of Raja.

“Of course you idiot…”

The two remaining cards continued floating in front of Raja inside the enormous library as the system began the synchronization process.

The first card, bearing the image of John Wick, suddenly started glowing with a soft silver light.

Raja watched as the card slowly dissolved into countless streams of energy that rushed toward him, and for a moment,

He felt as though someone had poured an entire lifetime of knowledge directly into his mind.

He could suddenly understand firearms in a way that went far beyond anything he had learned in his previous life.

His mind instinctively understood weapon handling, positioning, recoil control, reload techniques, close-quarters combat, tactical movement,

And even the small details that could mean the difference between life and death in a gunfight.

More importantly, there was a strange feeling accompanying all of it, almost like muscle memory from experiences he had never personally lived.

The synchronization continued climbing.

10%…

25%…

40%…

55%…

65%.

Then it stopped.

The silver glow surrounding the card gradually disappeared as the System displayed the result.

“John Wick Template Synchronization Complete: 65%”

Raja stared at the notification for a moment before giving a satisfied nod.

“Sixty-five percent?

I’ll take that.”

Before he could examine the abilities further, the second card began reacting.

The image of Tai Lung seemed to come alive as a faint silver aura surrounded it.

This time, the sensation was completely different from John Wick’s template.

Raja suddenly felt his balance shift, his muscles instinctively adjusting themselves, and his body seemed to understand movements that he had never practiced before.

For a brief moment, his body naturally shifted into a martial arts stance.

Raja blinked looking at the screen.

“…Okay, that’s new.”

The synchronization continued rising.

10%…

20%…

30%…

38%.

Then it stopped.

“Tai Lung Template Synchronization Complete: 38%”

Raja looked at the two cards floating before him and then glanced toward the distant card representing Zarathos.

“John Wick gets sixty-five percent, Tai Lung gets thirty-eight, and Zarathos is at forty-five.

So the synchronization isn’t based purely on the tier.”

“Correct.

Template synchronization is influenced by compatibility between the Host and the acquired template, including physiology, soul structure, existing abilities and other factors.”

“Fair enough.”

Raja folded his arms and looked at the three templates again.

John Wick’s skills would give him an enormous advantage when dealing with firearms and tactical situations,

while Tai Lung’s abilities were almost entirely focused on physical combat and martial arts.

Zarathos, of course, was in an entirely different league.

He couldn’t help smiling.

“Not bad for my second batch of templates.”

The library slowly faded away, returning him to the driver’s seat of his Chevrolet Camaro.

Raja blinked a few times as the familiar streets of Queens came back into view.

“That was useful.”

As he drove, his conversation with Zarathos resumed, this time concerning the problem of getting supplies for Bruce, Betty and Hulk inside his dimension.

“I still can’t believe I can just move an abandoned house into the dimension.”

Zarathos voice echoed calmly inside his mind.

“There is no reason to construct everything from nothing when suitable structures already exist.”

“Yeah, yeah.

I get it.”

Raja sighed just how ridiculous his ability is.

He wasn’t particularly interested in explaining to his parents why he suddenly needed enough money to purchase construction materials for a secret dimension either.

Asking them for money would only create questions, and Raja had already noticed that his parents were behaving strangely around him since the Harlem incident.

Whatever they knew, he wasn’t ready to find out yet.

His attention returned to the road as he finally entered Forest Hills.

A few minutes later, he turned onto Ingram Street and spotted the Parker residence.

It was a classic, cozy Tudor-style house that looked completely ordinary compared to the towering buildings of Manhattan.

The warm suburban appearance, small backyard and modest shed made it feel almost detached from the madness that usually followed Peter Parker wherever he went.

If Raja hadn’t known who lived there, he would never have guessed that one of the most important superheroes in New York secretly called this place home.

He parked the Camaro along the side of the street, switched off the engine and stepped out.

Before walking toward the house, he checked the gift he had brought for Peter and the small bouquet of flowers he had picked up on the way.

“Hopefully this doesn’t look too formal.”

He walked up to the front door and pressed the bell.

A few seconds later, he heard a woman’s voice from inside.

“Peter, I told you not to come home that late yesterday!

You can’t keep doing that and expect me not to worry.”

Raja raised an eyebrow.

‘Well…

that’s definitely Aunt May.’

There was some muffled response from upstairs, followed by May’s voice again.

“Don’t argue with me, young man.”

Raja smiled to himself.

The sound of footsteps approached the door before May finally looked through the peephole.

She saw a tall teenage boy standing outside, holding a birthday present in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.

From his age and appearance, it wasn’t difficult to guess that he was one of Peter’s classmates.

“Peter!”

She called toward the stairs.

“Your friend is here!”

She opened the door.

And Raja’s brain promptly stopped functioning.

“….”

The woman standing before him looked nothing like the Aunt May he remembered from the comics.

She was stunning.

Instead of the elderly woman Raja had expected,

May looked like she was somewhere in her mid-twenties.

Her long hair framed a youthful face, and her warm expression made her seem even younger than she actually appeared.

There was absolutely nothing about her appearance that suggested she was old enough to be Peter’s aunt.

Raja simply stared at her.

May tilted her head.

“Hello?”

Nothing.

She waved her hand in front of his face.

“Are you alright?”

Raja finally snapped out of his thoughts.

“Yes!

Sorry!”

His face became slightly embarrassed as he quickly held out the bouquet.

“These are for you.

Well…

the present is for Peter, obviously.

The flowers are for you.”

May looked at the bouquet and then back at the unusually tall teenager standing in front of her.

“That’s very sweet of you.”

She accepted the flowers with a smile.

“You must be one of Peter’s classmates.”

“Yeah.

I’m Raja, but everyone calls me Raj.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Raj.

Come in.”

“Thank you.”

Raja stepped inside, still trying to process the fact that Aunt May looked younger than some of the students at his school.

May closed the door behind him before looking at him again.

“So, Raj, how’s Peter doing at school?

Is he keeping up with his classes?”

“He’s doing pretty well.”

“Is anyone bothering him?”

Raja paused hearing her.

May’s expression became slightly concerned.

“You know how teenagers are.

Peter doesn’t always tell me when something is wrong, so I sometimes worry that he’s having trouble with someone.”

Raja remembered Flash Thompson immediately.

“Well…”

He shrugged.

“If Flash bothers him again, don’t worry about it.

I’ll deal with him.”

May blinked looking at the young man with an raised eye brow.

“You will?”

“Yeah.”

Raja casually lifted his arm and flexed his bicep.

“If any bully comes after Peter, I’ll beat them up.”

For a moment, May simply stared at him.

Then she started laughing.

Raja lowered his arm, slightly embarrassed.

“What?”

“Nothing,”

May said between laughs.

“You’re very confident, aren’t you?”

“I just don’t like bullies.”

Before May could respond, footsteps came from the staircase.

Peter appeared, looking increasingly embarrassed.

“Raj!”

He looked at May.

“Please don’t encourage him.”

May smiled innocently.

“I was only asking how you’re doing at school.”

Peter sighed hearing her.

“I’m fine, Aunt May.”

Then he looked at Raja.

“Hey.

You came early.”

“Yeah.

Figured I’d drop by before everyone else arrived.”

Behind Peter, Ned appeared with a grin on his face.

“Raj!”

Raja looked at him.

“Ned.

You came!”

“Of course.”

Ned immediately pointed upstairs.

“Come on.

We’re already working on the LEGO project.”

Peter groaned hearing his friend’s words.

“Ned, we haven’t even started.”

“We’ve sorted the pieces.”

“That’s not starting.

It’s preparation.”

Raja laughed hearing them banter.

“Alright, show me what you’ve got.”

As the three of them headed upstairs, Raja remembered exactly why he had been looking forward to meeting Peter again.

He needed experience points.

He had already learned the hard way that simply being in the same room as an important character wasn’t enough.

The System required some form of direct contact, and Raja had no intention of leaving another easy opportunity on the table.

Once they reached Peter’s room,

Ned immediately dumped the LEGO boxes onto the floor and began explaining his master plan while Peter tried to keep him from losing half the pieces.

Raja sat down beside them, listening to Ned ramble about the project while casually waiting for the right moment.

Eventually, he turned toward Peter and held out his hand.

“By the way, happy birthday, man.”

Peter looked at his hand for a moment before smiling and shaking it.

“Thanks, Raj.”

The moment their palms touched, Raja felt the familiar sensation of the System activating.

“Ding!”

His smile widened slightly.

‘Finally.’

“Important Character Contact Confirmed.”

Raja kept his expression completely normal while Ned continued talking about LEGO pieces beside them.

Inside, however, he was already waiting eagerly for the reward.

‘Let’s see how much you’re worth, Spider-Man.’
