In Washington, under dark clouds and heavy rain, there sits a small town called Forks with a population of less than three thousand two hundred.
To be precise, as of March in the year 2000, the town had a population of three thousand one hundred and twenty.
The town is located in the most remote corner of Washington, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and is shrouded in rain all year round.
Some people like a town that is constantly in drizzle.
Naturally, there are also those who do not like such a town.
Bella Swan is the latter.
However, she had no choice, as her mother and her newlywed stepfather were going on a trip.
Therefore, Bella came to Forks to live with her father for a while.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will complete her mid-twelfth-grade studies at the only high school in Forks.
When she got off the plane and arrived in this town that is constantly rainy, Bella’s heart was as gloomy as the weather.
However, Bella had no choice.
Neither did Mike.
Since he transmigrated and was reborn into this world seventeen years ago, Mike was initially excited, especially since he had a Gold Finger.
Although it hadn’t been activated for some reason, this couldn’t stop Mike from dreaming of punching tigers on the southern mountain and kicking dragons in the northern sea.
But reality gave him a heavy blow.
Just like in all stories, at first everything was quiet and without warning, and Mike also thought that Forks was just an ordinary small town.
Soon, when Mike could understand the Western common language, he tragically discovered one thing: this world had Captain America and Howard Stark.
Mike almost fainted on the spot.
It had Captain America.
It had Howard Stark.
The truth of this world was laid bare before Mike, who was only three years old at the time, and only God knows how long it took for Mike to silently accept the fact about the entire world.
But later, three years ago, when Mike enrolled in the ninth grade at Forks High School, new guests moved into the town: the Cullen family.
Mike was so angry that he wanted to run directly to the New York Sanctum to question the Ancient One, saying, “You promised to be the Guardian of the Earth dimension, yet Twilight has intruded, and you don’t care?”
Of course, Mike only thought about this in his heart.
After all, Mike felt that both he and the Cullen family were, to some extent, characters who had intruded.
Yes.
This was definitely not because Mike was afraid of the combat power of the Cullen family.
Anyway, after Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, and Alice became Mike’s classmates, Mike, while looking forward to the awakening of his Gold Finger, used the money he earned from part-time jobs during the summer vacations over the years to purchase a series of combat books online, including Eastern ancient martial arts, Israeli Krav Maga, and Japanese judo, silently enriching himself.
March 3rd.
The spring semester at Forks High School began.
Forks High School implements a four-season system, which divides the year into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Each season is one semester, and each semester is only two and a half months.
The courses are very compact, but there is a lot of vacation time.
As usual, Mike stood early under the fountain of the school’s goddess statue and, just like every semester, threw a coin in to pray for a safe and peaceful semester.
The reason was simple: he had a feeling that his Gold Finger was about to be successfully activated.
In other words, after this semester, he could once again fantasize about using his Gold Finger to punch tigers on the southern mountain and kick dragons in the northern sea, reaching the pinnacle of his life.
Just then, “Tut-tut-tut.”
Mike, who was wishing with his eyes closed and didn’t care at all that he had once again become the target of secret peeking by many female students, heard the sound of a car engine that didn’t exist in his memory and didn’t match any car of his classmates.
He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound with his deep blue eyes, like the deep sea.
There, an orange-yellow pickup truck, full of ruggedness, stopped with a “tut-tut-tut” in the parking space below the steps of the wishing pool.
With a “bang,” Bella, with long hair, wearing a trench coat and carrying her bag, stepped out of the car.
A dark-skinned classmate whistled at Bella.
“Nice car.”
Bella looked over and said thank you, then walked toward the steps leading to the school gate.
At the same time, she took out the study schedule she had just received yesterday from her pocket and looked around at the school map, which was much larger than she had imagined, looking a bit dazed and cute.
Mike, by the wishing pool, came back to his senses and stared at the coins filling the pool, trying to find the position of the coin he had just thrown in.
This wishing pool was actually just an ordinary fountain that sprayed water at the beginning.
The reason it became like this was because Mike made his first wish when he enrolled in the seventh grade.
Then, one day, two days, gradually, it attracted many female students to follow suit.
Afterwards, this ordinary pool became the famous wishing pool in Forks High School today.
“Shit.”
Mike cursed inwardly, then took a deep breath, picked up his backpack without looking back, and walked into the school.
He needed to calm his heart down at this moment.
Sure enough.
Is it true that when the plot comes, it is unstoppable like an avalanche?
Mike was very resistant to Bella enrolling in this school because if Bella came, the gears of Twilight would start turning, and his Gold Finger was currently still on its way, having just found the activation code.
At noon, Mike walked into the school cafeteria, ordered a fruit salad and a hamburger, and then, as usual, walked to a corner seat.
The two male students who had previously sat in the corner saw Mike’s trajectory, looked at each other, and simultaneously picked up their trays and moved to another location.
This scene was seen by a group of people not far away who were welcoming new students.
Bella looked a bit curious and asked the new classmate she met in the morning, “Who is he?”
Angela, who was wearing glasses and had just taken a photo of Bella with her camera, raised an eyebrow.
“Mike Lance.”
Jessica, next to her, added, “The school’s most popular figure. Since the seventh grade, he has firmly occupied the throne of the number one male god. He is cold, taciturn, and looks just like a domineering CEO…”
The male student Eric couldn’t listen anymore and interrupted directly.
“Jessica, please, can you stop being such a fangirl?”
Jessica came back to her senses and glared at Eric, whose long hair looked like the Beatles.
Just then, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria, attracting Bella’s attention.
Angela looked at Bella and introduced, “Cullen family.”
Jessica glared at Eric and turned to introduce again.
“They are all children adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife. That blonde is named Rosalie. That big dark-haired guy is named Emmett. That dark-haired girl is named Alice. That…”
Just as Jessica was acting as a little science popularizer, Bella saw Alice, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, walk straight to the table near the corner.
Mike’s table.
