Hahahaha! This novel is really interesting. Wait, why hasn't it updated yet? It's been two days without an update. A young man walked along, head down, reading a novel, paying no attention to the road ahead. Had he been watching where he was going, he would have noticed a live wire trailing into a puddle. He stepped right onto it. With a *whoosh*, everything went pitch black, and he collapsed to the ground. It's great to be young—just drop your head and fall asleep. A whole lifetime well spent.
Opening his eyes once more, he found everything around him shrouded in darkness. Right beside him was a tiny Ultraman. Hey, isn't that guy Zett?
With a ding, "Hello there, Host."
Oh great, my shift starts at eight in the morning. The system's sudden appearance gave Saize a start. "Host, please mind your language."
"Well, what use are you, anyway?"
"Normal absorption of energy. Absorb energy, gain experience points, exchange them for items, and grow stronger."
"Ugh, how utterly ordinary," Saize said, speechless.
"How can you say that? My ability at least allows me to, well, immunize against certain light beams."
"Just *certain* light beams? What a piece of trash."
"Fine, fine, I'll give you a few draws. Open your beginner's package; there are draw chances inside."
"Okay, okay," Saize said blankly. He opened the package: two ordinary draw chances, two intermediate draw chances, and one advanced draw chance.
Ultra Disguise Card.
The Ultra Disguise Card allows you to take the form of an Ultraman and retain it permanently. "What Ultraman should I turn into? Zett—yeah, let's become him. That way, when Ace rescues me and brings me back to the Land of Light later, I'll have a legitimate identity."
Time to draw! Two ordinary draws in a row.
With a *ding*, a sound rang out like the turning wheel of destiny. Accompanied by this crisp and pleasant chime, a miraculous ability descended upon the protagonist—Healing Magic! This Healing Magic was no ordinary skill; it could continuously restore all sorts of ordinary injuries, whether caused by swords, spears, halberds, or burns from laser hits, causing them to heal rapidly beneath its warm glow.
However, one crucial detail had to be noted: while this healing magic was unimaginably powerful, it had one restriction—it could not be used to heal oneself. It was like a double-edged sword, bestowing upon the protagonist the power to save others while simultaneously subjecting him to the test of his own safety.
Immediately afterward, with another *ding*, a second wondrous ability appeared—Injury Scan! With this ability, the protagonist possessed a pair of X-ray eyes, easily detecting all manner of injuries on a target, leaving even chronic ailments buried beneath the dust of time with nowhere to hide. This ability undoubtedly granted the protagonist a massive advantage, allowing him to understand his enemies' weaknesses more accurately and formulate far more effective strategies.
Two intermediate draws in a row.
With a crisp *ding*, the system prompt sounded: *Congratulations, you have drawn the Healing Beam!* This magical beam could continuously provide healing power to a target, effectively alleviating and curing moderate injuries, such as energy depletion. However, please note that it could not be used for self-healing.
Closely following that came another *ding*, and the system reminded him once more: *You have successfully acquired the Memory Tampering Card!* This card possessed an astonishing ability—modifying the memories of others. Regrettably, it could only be used once, and after that, such cards could never be drawn again. Therefore, one must use it with the utmost caution!
Two advanced draws in a row.
Didn't it say one? How did it become two? "I said I was giving them to you, but I didn't say how many. Giving you one is still a gift!"
Oh ho! The host actually hit the jackpot with a gold drop! Saize looked in surprise and couldn't help shouting, "Holy shit, it even dropped red!"
Planetary Blessing: choose several planets and acquire special abilities from them. The first planet selected was Earth; followed by the Sun, the Moon, Mars, and the Land of Light.
Earth seemed to feel the host's summons and generously bestowed upon him a breathtaking ability—infinite healing, the power of infinite healing. The Sun also responded to the call, granting him the powerful Solar Nuclear Blast skill. When the host chose to make the ultimate sacrifice, it would trigger a solar flare, dealing massive area-of-effect damage and perishing together with the enemy.
The Moon was not to be outdone, granting the host the Yin-Yang Light Shield, a barrier formed by the convergence of Yin and Yang energies capable of withstanding most attacks. Mars offered the ability of death and rebirth, usable only once per year and impossible to stockpile.
Still, the host felt somewhat puzzled by the death-and-rebirth ability granted by Mars.
At that moment, the Land of Light displayed its generosity, granting the host the approval of the Plasma Spark Tower, endowing him with an endless energy supply.
Holy shit, I am invincible. Hahahaha!
A mysterious weapon named the Blade of Survival appeared before his eyes. This blade possessed extraordinary power, capable of withstanding a fatal blow. It was not merely an ordinary weapon; rather, it was a powerful piece of equipment that could attach itself to the body and become a solid shield for self-protection.
Moreover, this Blade of Survival had a unique feature—it could be given away to others. Imagine passing this precious gift to a friend or comrade by your side, allowing them to enjoy the same level of security. This spirit of sharing and mutual aid would undoubtedly draw people closer together.
On top of that, the Blade of Survival possessed autonomous recall capabilities. When no longer needed, it could be effortlessly retrieved back into one's own hands, making it both convenient and practical. At that moment, Saize decided to install this magical blade onto his Color Timer so that it could play an even greater role.
Transform into Ultraman.
Alright, time to head out. Emerging from the System Space, Saize transformed into an Ultraman resembling Zett.
Now then, use the modification card to alter Zett's memory so that in his memories, I am his older adoptive brother.
You got it! Let's put this magical memory-modification card to work.
"System, you're such a chuunibyou," Saize remarked.
Gently placing it against Zett's forehead and pressing the start button, an invisible stream of energy began to flow and seep into his mind.
As the energy poured in, Zett's memories began to be slowly rewritten. Information about me gradually entered Zett's mind, transforming Saize into his beloved older brother. The time we had supposedly spent together, the adventures we had experienced, and the challenges we had faced side by side were all reshaped and deeply imprinted within his consciousness.
Now, when Zett woke up, he would firmly believe that I was his brother from another mother. The family bond and connection between us would grow even tighter, and he would be filled with affection and reliance toward me. That way, no matter what difficulties or crises he encountered in the future, he would stand by my side without hesitation, fighting shoulder to shoulder with me.
Alright, now it's just a matter of waiting for Ace to pick the both of us up. After who knows how long, a beam of light flashed over. It was an Ultra Warrior—none other than Ace, the dismemberment master. Ace gazed at the two sleeping little Ultramen floating in space, his heart filled with doubt. Who are these two little fellows? Why are they sleeping out here in space?
At their age, they shouldn't be able to survive in space. Oh well, let's take them back to the Land of Light.
Ace stepped forward and gently scooped them up. "Hmm... I'll take them back first and figure it out," Ace muttered to himself.
Ace brought the two of them back to the Land of Light and laid them down on the medical bay beds.
"Are they alright?" Ace asked.
"Vital signs are stable, but they're still unconscious," Doctor Hikari replied.
Ace looked at the two little Ultramen, feeling a strange sensation. He decided to ask about their situation once they woke up.
Zett woke up quickly. The moment he came to, he saw Saize sleeping beside him. "Brother, Brother, what's wrong with you?" he asked, his voice choked with tears.
At that moment, Saize woke up. "I'm fine, Zett."
Just then, Ace walked in. "Yo, little fellows, you're both awake. Why were you two drifting through space?"
Saize didn't know why Zett had been drifting, so he signaled Zett with a look to speak.
Zett stammered, "The two of us originally... we originally lived on a planet, but somehow we ended up drifting through space."
"Very well, since you have no way to go home, you can stay in the Land of Light. I'll get you registered for residency here. By the way, since you're orphans, I'll arrange orphan allowances for you. Judging by your names, you aren't biological brothers, are you?"
"Yes, Senior," Saize said. "The two of us are brothers from another mother. Although we aren't blood brothers, we're closer than kin." Such lies rolled right off his tongue.
"Alright, we'll assign a house to you."
At that moment, Zett asked, "Senior, how are the houses assigned?"
Ace smiled and said, "Naturally, one room per person."
"Is the room very small, so we each need our own?" Zett asked.
"No, the rooms are very large. It's big enough for your older brother to live with you until you grow up."
Zett then said, "Then can I live together with my brother? Can my brother's apartment be exchanged for currency?"
Upon hearing this, Ace was slightly stunned, then nodded and said it was possible, watching as Zett hugged Saize while Saize patted Zett's head.
Afterward, Ace summoned the medical staff to give the two of them a checkup to see if there were any issues. Once the medical staff had examined them, they informed Ultraman Ace that the two of them were completely fine.
"Then the two of you, follow me to get your residency registered, pick up your house, and collect your orphan subsidies."
