Chapter 0001: The Golden Finger That Arrived Nineteen Years Late

After Lina gave birth to William, she went to Hong Kong and Shanghai several times to look for his father's family. After more than ten years without any news, she eventually gave up. William has grown up without knowing whether he has grandparents or other relatives in the Great Celestial Empire.

Parallel world, January 2000, University of London dormitory in England

Suddenly, a loud knocking sound echoed at the dormitory door

Upon returning home, Chen Mo, having rarely managed to outdrink four uncles, had consumed quite a bit. At this moment, Chen Mo felt a bit exhilarated, having downed a large glass of water, feeling quite well, and not particularly drunk. He lay on the balcony at home, looking at his phone while enjoying the early summer night breeze, and opened a website to find the newly released Avengers 4, watching it with great interest.

However, it is truly arduous for a single mother to raise a child, and after William's grandparents passed away when he was ten years old, life became even more difficult. Nevertheless, Lina bore all the hardships alone and diligently raised William.

Three days ago, he fell asleep in front of the computer while staying up late to write a school assignment

What kind of broken system is this, lacking even a little helper or any guidance for newcomers? What kind of system requires nineteen years of charging?

In his previous life, William was named Chen Mo, a 22-year-old ordinary office worker from the Xijiang Province of Greater China in 2019. That day, his cousin was celebrating his 20th birthday, and the entire family, consisting of dozens of members, gathered at his uncle's house for the celebration

He does not need to borrow power from the Dimension Demon; all of his magical power is provided by the system and has no side effects

After a long while, William finally understood that this system was a foolproof, beginner-friendly system. Within it, William could learn all kinds of technology, magic, and various abilities, provided that he could comprehend and understand them

The Marvel Universe system has completed charging, initiating startup. Host William Devonshire, welcome to the Marvel Universe system

System? William was taken aback, is there really a system? I was just watching Avengers 4 and got struck by lightning, and now I have an entire Marvel universe?

The fundamental theory of magic is explained thoroughly and simply, making it understandable even for beginners in magic. However, it remains uncertain whether one can practice magic in this world

William silently activated the system in his mind, and suddenly a vast surge of memories flooded into his brain

Who is the great deity bestowing blessings, the system, is the system present, William silently recited in his heart

He is of mixed Chinese and British descent. His mother, Lina Devenshire, met his father 18 years ago during a skiing trip to Switzerland. It was a romantic and enjoyable 7-day journey, but disaster struck on the 7th day

William has been in this world for 19 years. The king of England in this world is a male king named Philip. The current president of America is a man named Benjamin Arthur, and the previous term saw a British female president of America.

Coming from a single-parent family and being of mixed Chinese and British heritage, William has always felt out of place among the English children, having few friends.

As long as he can comprehend it, both technology and magic can be learned. William spent a long time just looking at the catalog of technology and magic. When he opened the section on basic technological knowledge, William took a glance and was overwhelmed.

This is similar to the magic in the movie Doctor Strange, but the difference is that William's power comes from the system

With a pull of both hands, the golden magic circle transformed into a golden magic rope. With a casual flick, the magic rope ensnared the back of a chair several meters away. With a strong tug, the chair flew to William's side, where he caught it in one swift motion

The excited dancer William wielded a magical rope, occasionally lifting shoes from the dormitory and causing chairs to collide with the walls, creating a series of loud thuds

William closed his eyes, perceiving everything in the dormitory with his mental power, even clearly sensing the items placed under his bed. He found a few coins under the bed and attempted to use his mental power to cast the Mage Hand spell. To his surprise, he succeeded; the coins were lifted as if by an invisible hand, flying towards William. He looked at the coins in his hand, his face filled with excitement

While skiing down from the summit of the ski resort, a large-scale avalanche occurred. Lina and William's father were separated by the avalanche. Only Lina, due to her fortunate circumstances, was buried shallowly. The rescue personnel spotted a small part of her ski board protruding from the snow and ultimately rescued Lina, while William's father, Chen Jing, was never found again.

He, along with 2 younger brothers and 1 brother-in-law, accompanied four uncles in drinking. After finishing 4 bottles of Wuliangye, they were still not satisfied and continued to play dice with the four uncles until 11 PM. The banquet only concluded after all four uncles were drunk

William Devonshire raised both hands to draw a six-pointed star in the air, and a golden magic circle appeared in the atmosphere

But this is magic, isn't it? For those who have watched so many superhero movies, who wouldn't want to have a bit of superpower or magic? Let's not think about it for now; let's learn it first.

The vast majority is incomprehensible to him. He can understand the basics of natural sciences, basic computer science, and basic mathematics to some extent, but he cannot grasp other more advanced topics. This broken system cannot directly transmit knowledge to my brain, and it cannot even communicate. It is not an elite learning system; I still have to learn slowly on my own. It is truly useless

Beep beep beep, energy charging complete, Marvel Universe system activated

Charging? Which system requires nineteen years of charging before it can be activated

Is this magic? William suddenly understood in his heart, huh, how do I know this is magic? William felt as if he suddenly knew what this was, without needing to doubt it, as if he had always known it, and could understand it just by seeing it.

Hearing the complaints from the students in the neighboring dormitory, William hurriedly went to the door to apologize and managed to coax them away after a long while

William has been in this parallel world for nineteen years. Three days ago, he was awakened from his sleep by a series of beeping sounds.

Fortunately, Lina still has her parents, and William's grandparents, who love and care for William very much. The two elderly individuals can also assist Lina in raising William

The sound of beeping awakened Chen Mo from his slumber

William rubbed his eyes, closed them, and then opened them again, only to find that he was still in his dormitory

Hahaha, I am about to become prosperous

As the movie reached its halfway point, a thunderstorm suddenly broke out. Just as Chen Mo was about to return to his room, he noticed a bright flash of lightning shooting across the sky towards him, and then he lost consciousness.

Upon initial activation, this system grants you unique foundational magical knowledge from the system's master, who serves as your source of magic

The next morning, William sat up, rubbing his still slightly dizzy head. Have I drunk too much and started hallucinating? Why is there a strange knowledge in my mind—magic? How could there be magic in this world? William, who has lived in this parallel world for nineteen years, has never heard of magic. Am I really drunk?

After waiting for a long time, the system did not respond at all, and feeling dissatisfied, he asked the system many times but still received no reply

Enduring her sorrow, Lina Devonshire returned to England. It was not until three months later that she discovered she was pregnant. However, all Lina knew was that William's father was named Chen Jing, a 25-year-old from Huaxia's Magic City, working in Hong Kong. She only knew that Chen Jing had gone to Hong Kong in 1975, and beyond that, she knew nothing else.

A furious shout came from the doorway, "What the hell, buddy, are you on drugs? What time is it now? Damn it, are you going to let anyone sleep? If you keep this up, I will call the police"

Until he was admitted to one of the best schools in England, University College London, William was seen as a nerd by most people, having never even had a girlfriend

It seems that this system is somewhat useful, as it does not require me to guess repeatedly; as long as the elements within the system can understand themselves, they can learn. Moreover, its current essence is a fusion of the complete souls of adults from two worlds, which naturally makes it more agile than the vast majority of people, and its cognitive abilities have increased several times compared to before

William pondered for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice according to the fundamental theories of magic. Before long, numerous flashes of light appeared in his mind. Various theories and methods of magical application emerged in his consciousness

A vast surge of knowledge and memories flooded into the mind, and within a few seconds, the person fainted

With less time for play, young William could only find joy in his studies, and he could not play with those little brats. Therefore, he had always performed well academically from a young age. Additionally, his grandfather Henry, who came from a noble background, taught William many things from an early age. After he turned 18 and began to integrate the memories of his past life, his mind became sharper, and his understanding of previous knowledge and memories became clearer.

This is a world completely different from William's previous life

William was extremely excited during his first encounter with magic. For the past few days, apart from eating and sleeping, he dedicated all his time to honing his magical power. Finally, on this night, he successfully mastered his first spell, the Magical Rope. Note: Its original name is Setorak's Red Band, but since William's magical power is provided by the system, it is referred to here as the Magical Rope.

Fortunately, there is a consolation prize in the system's magical cultivation system. Although William feels that he does not dare to openly use magic in this world devoid of magic and superpowers, he is even more reluctant to let others know that he possesses magical abilities

This spell has many uses; it can split a person in half, bind individuals, and the Mage's Hand is even more useful. If one wishes to grab a pen while lying in bed, a pen from the table can fly into William's hand. Moreover, there is a wealth of technological knowledge from the Marvel universe in his mind, and with just a bit of high-tech innovation, he could easily amass a fortune.

This dizziness lasted for 18 years. When he turned 18, his brain had fully developed and was able to receive the vast memories of his past life. Only then did he gradually begin to recall the memories of his previous existence, and the two souls merged together.

Closing the door, William lay on the bed and could not help but recall the extraordinary experiences of the past few days, his feelings gradually transforming from uncertainty to excitement
