Stand User in Marvel Universe Chapter 2 Dio

The phone conversation persisted, and Will's distinct accent, common among black individuals, held He Yongzhi's attention completely, as he had seldom encountered such a dialect before.

He was experiencing a peculiar sensation because his current name mirrored that of a villain character in a game he was in the process of creating, a blatant imitation.

JoJo?

No, it's me, Dio!

Perhaps this was meant to be… an alignment of destiny.

As Dio pondered the original JoJo narrative, a sudden recognition sparked within his field of vision.

A familiar interface materialized before him, instilling a profound sense of deja vu.

"This is the exact interface from that game! How is this even possible?"

Dio, well-versed in web novels and anime, understood the tropes of such isekai stories, where protagonists are often bestowed with unique powers. The prospect of receiving one himself sent a jolt of excitement through him!

"Hey, are you even listening? You're still there, right?"

"Ah? Ah! My apologies, what were you saying again?" Dio, caught off guard, momentarily forgot he was speaking with Will.

"I mentioned you should get some proper rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow, and we can visit the cemetery. I never would have believed that playboy Tony Stark would be so accommodating."

"Understood, I'll do just that. See you tomorrow."

"Alright, take care, Bro!"

Dio swiftly ended the call, but a thought struck him as he recalled the name Will had mentioned.

Tony Stark!?

Could it truly be…?

The gravity of his situation finally dawned on Dio; he was no longer in his original world!

Setting aside his immediate curiosity about his newfound abilities, he quickly retrieved his mobile phone and initiated an online search.

Minutes later, he was rendered speechless. Stark Industries… Numerous prominent figures were real entities, not mere fictional characters.

Whether he chose to believe it or not, he had indeed transmigrated into the Marvel universe.

Fortunately, the year was still 2010, placing the conflict with Thanos a considerable way off. However, Dio couldn't recall the precise timing of major events or crucial battles from the movies, only recognizing the heroes and their general mission to protect the planet from villains.

He understood that any careless alteration of this universe's timeline could trigger a temporal paradox.

The sudden realization of his predicament sent a wave of panic through him, stirring a strong desire to return to his former life, which now seemed so peaceful. Here, alien invasions were practically commonplace, and even this city, situated far from New York, was a perilous locale!

Yet, if he remained passive, Thanos would inevitably gather all six Infinity Stones, and with a mere snap, half the universe would vanish.

The odds were still fifty-fifty, but he held a firm belief that he belonged to the unlucky category!

Every time he and his development team concluded a game, he would meticulously test it, searching for bugs, analyzing the gacha rates, and the like.

Based on his extensive experience, he had never once experienced good fortune in the realm of gacha games. Meanwhile, his friends consistently acquired powerful SSR characters.

He couldn't even achieve a single rare pull, even when the gacha rate was amplified tenfold!

Therefore, relying on luck was simply not a viable strategy for him!

Now inhabiting another person's body, he was eager to compare their respective fortunes: was his old self luckier, or was his current self?

This line of thought momentarily eclipsed his yearning to return to his previous existence.

Since he had acquired a special power, he was determined to harness it, regardless of its perceived weakness, for the sake of survival!

Even if he couldn't alter the grand outcome, he resolved to give his utmost effort – that was his conviction!

Having achieved a measure of calm and acceptance of his circumstances, he desired to delve deeper into the nature of his special ability. This represented his most significant opportunity for survival, necessitating swift and thorough learning!

Only

Although the development of that derivative game had not been completed, the fundamental commands, features, and interface had been implemented, giving him a solid grasp of its mechanics.

"System?"

He attempted to engage with the system by uttering its name, a common method protagonists used to interact with system-based superpowers in the novels he'd read. However, receiving no response, he surmised it might be due to the game's incomplete state, thus lacking proper functionality.

Yet, upon further reflection, he conceded that a disembodied voice suddenly whispering in his ear might not be an entirely pleasant experience either.

Given that he had conceptualized and designed this interface himself, he possessed a foundational understanding of its workings, providing him with a rudimentary idea of how to proceed.

Consequently, Dio's first action was to open the novice player's gift package, which contained a white egg – this would be his inaugural Stand.

Hmm…

He furrowed his brow.
