1 Chapter 1: Awakening

At night in New York City, an ambulance was speeding down the road.

Inside the vehicle was a 15-year-old boy, our main character, along with two medical personnel.

Suddenly, a change occurred. Blue veins appeared on his arm, and his skin slowly turned red. A mild seizure followed, along with a strange distortion of his body.

The medical personnel immediately noticed the abnormality and moved to check on him. They discovered that the patient had a fever, but before they could react, something unbelievable happened.

The boy's hand suddenly grabbed the hand of one of the medical staff with a powerful force that caused the man's wrist to ache.

His colleague rushed to help, but surprisingly, despite using all their strength, they could not remove the boy's hand. On the contrary, his grip tightened, causing the medical staff to groan in pain.

Not only that, but his arm became increasingly thin and his consciousness slowly faded in the face of his friend's distress.

It wasn't until he lost consciousness that his hand finally let go. The boy immediately sat up, causing the remaining medical staff to fall back in shock.

"Matt, Dash, what's happening over there?" The driver's worried voice came through the intercom, but no one responded.

The sound of the call only made the teenage boy feel uncomfortable, and he punched the divider window between the two parts of the vehicle with a strong swing, easily shattering it. The broken glass flew straight towards the unlucky driver.

The sudden attack caused the driver to swerve and crash the ambulance into a house beside the road.

The accident caused quite a stir, and all passing vehicles stopped to take a look. Just before someone could get closer to the vehicle, the door was thrown open.

From inside emerged a frightening creature that seemed to belong only in a horror movie, scaring anyone who came near.

It was a giant humanoid creature over 2 meters tall, with blood-red skin, four evenly distributed arms, three of which were the size of an adult's hand, and one large and deformed arm on the upper left side. His face was equally eerie, with two eyes on the left side.

This terrifying appearance garnered many screams from the onlookers. The monster clearly did not like loud noises, as it constantly covered its ears and howled at those around it. Finally, perhaps unable to bear it any longer, it ran down an alley and disappeared into the dark night of the city.

---------------------------------------------------

Still in New York, at an abandoned subway station, a strange creature was resting.

The monster that had caused chaos earlier was now sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a calm expression, eyes closed, and muscles relaxed. It was a ridiculous but harmonious scene.

After a while, the creature went through a violent transformation. Its large body quickly shrank, and the two arms below retracted completely into its body. One of its left eyes disappeared, and its skin changed from red to white. In just a few seconds, the monster had transformed into a teenage boy.

He had a symmetrical physique, well-developed muscles, fair skin, and stood at 1.78 meters tall. His arms and legs were strong and impressive, exuding an aura of evenness and strength.

He had black hair that fell to his shoulders, dark brown eyes, a mischievous smile, and a handsome face. All of these traits made him look sharp and confident.

He wore a torn black T-shirt, black leather wristbands with black clasps, black jeans, black combat boots, and a necklace with a pendant hanging from his neck, a gift from his first criminal act: stealing a bike and using it to escape to New York.

[MC POV]

So, what's my situation?

Is it awakening or reincarnation...?

It's strange, both lives were scum like me, yet I'm given another chance... Hahahah...

In the newly awakened memory,I was a hundred percent villain, belonging to the kind that cannot be saved or reasoned with, like the wolf in La Fontaine's story: "it is harmful when alive, and useless after it dies." The only difference is that after death, I'm given the chance to continue causing harm.

This life isn't any better. I'm just a homeless kid who likes to cause trouble and wander around. When I grow up, I'll either become a punching bag, or one of the strongest beings in the universe, but insane and lonely.

You might wonder why I'm so sure about the future? It's simple, because I've seen it. Yes, you read that right, I really have seen it.

In my past life's memory, the world I was in was just a fictional world, one of my favorite TV shows, called Ben 10. Ironically, it was one of the shows that my past life enjoyed the most.

To briefly summarize, the entire plot revolved around the main character, a boy named Ben Tennyson, and his watch, the Omnitrix, which was the most powerful weapon in the entire universe.

The story begins when Ben Tennyson, a ten-year-old boy, accidentally finds a space watch called the Omnitrix. This watch allows Ben to transform into different alien beings and use their powers. Each of Ben's different forms has unique abilities and a different approach to the world around them.

The setting of 'Ben 10' is quite diverse, and the adventure takes place in many different locations, from the urban city to the far reaches of outer space. Ben and his group frequently travel to different planets and lands, facing dangerous forces and protecting peace, blah blah blah...

As for myself, I was one of the main villains of the original series, Kevin Ethan Levin, also known as Kevin 11. My ability was to absorb and release anything I touched, from matter to energy and even the abilities of other creatures.

Thanks to this ability, in one timeline, I absorbed countless creatures from 11,000 different species and gained the title Kevin 11,000, becoming one of the strongest beings in the universe, even defeating Ben Tennyson at that time - the one who had complete control of the Omnitrix.

Unfortunately, all that power still couldn't win against the glory of the main character, and in the end, I was defeated.

However, now I'm not just the old Kevin anymore. There's no way I'll let that tragic future happen again.

Suddenly, countless electric rays shot out from my hand, illuminating the devilish smile on my face: "Not much longer, the top of the food chain will belong to me."
