American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 1 Something's Wrong with This World

On television, Superman, wearing his iconic "S" logo on his chest, stands in front of the camera, smiling and saying...

"But you, my friend, you are the real hero."

"." Speechless, Xiao Xian turned off the TV, got up, walked to the mirror and straightened his clothes. Looking at the handsome man with black hair and black eyes in the mirror, Xiao Xian smiled. With the help of the smile, his already handsome face became even more charming.

It's been two days since Xiao Xian arrived in this world. After the initial euphoria, having absorbed most of the original owner's memories, Xiao Xian suddenly realized that the superhero world he had transmigrated to seemed quite different from what he remembered.

The various bizarre monsters are one thing, after all, it's an American comic book world, it would be strange if there weren't some monsters as villains, but the superheroes are also quite strange.

The Flash is suspected of assaulting others multiple times in Hawaii; Iron Man Tony Stark was photographed having affairs with multiple people; Batman opened Wayne Man Agency and signed Superman; and Spider-Man, who is now a newcomer to the superhero scene, has been accused of burglary.

The most outrageous thing was this smiling man who looked more like Homelander than Superman. For a moment, Xiao Xian almost thought he had traveled into the world of The Boys.

After glancing at the time on his phone, Xiao Xian quickly tidied his hair and then immediately went out to knock on his female neighbor's door.

The original owner left Xiao Xian not much of an inheritance: a second-hand Volkswagen, a small amount of savings, various credit card bills, and a beautiful female neighbor.

Xiao Xian didn't inherit everything from the original owner, but the original owner's memories told Xiao Xian that his female neighbor Jenny was not only rich and gentle, but also quite beautiful, comparable to female celebrities.

The original owner has only met Jenny once so far, but he was deeply infatuated with her, especially the way Jenny casually tipped the moving staff a stack of tips. Not to mention the original owner, even Xiao Xian was a little unable to control himself.

After all, who can resist a beautiful, well-built, and wealthy woman? With just a little money from her, Xiao Xian would have start-up capital to invest in Stark Industries stock. Once he achieved financial freedom, he could invest in various technological projects such as researching Extremis virus nanotechnology.

Moreover, this wealthy woman was very proactive. After their first meeting, Jenny took the initiative to invite the original owner of this body to her house for dinner, showing no signs of being aloof at all, and her words were full of hints.

If I had to point out any flaws, it would be that Jenny is Japanese. Although she has an English name, she still retains Japanese habits, using all sorts of honorifics when she speaks, which is overly polite and gives people a strange feeling.

But such shortcomings are insignificant when it comes to money. Besides, being polite and using honorifics is always better than being arrogant or indifferent.

Besides, we're neighbors, and since they've taken the initiative to offer their hospitality, it would be impolite not to visit them.

"Xiao Xianjun~ I'm so glad you could come to my house." At home, Jenny saw Xiao Xianjun visiting, gave him a charming smile, and waved her hand.

"Jenny, it's so nice to see you again. You look absolutely gorgeous today." Looking at Jenny, who was dressed in a stunning red dress, Xiao Xian exclaimed sincerely.

Although Xiao Xian says this every time he goes on a date with a girl, this time it is definitely the most sincere he has ever been, at least so far.

In the original owner's memories, Jenny's charm was comparable to that of a top star, but when Xiao Xian saw Jenny in person, he felt that even the most beautiful and charming female star was not as captivating as Jenny.

What's most captivating about Jenny isn't her stunning face, her amazing figure, or even the perfectly placed beauty mark under her eye, but rather her aura—an aura that can drive people crazy.

As Xiao Xian looked at Jenny, a strange sense of goodwill towards her rose within him, but at the same time, a faint killing intent also arose inexplicably in his heart. He felt an urge to kill her!

Xiao Xian asked himself, although he could not be called simple and kind, he was not to the point of having murderous intent towards such a beautiful woman for no reason.

After chatting with Jenny for a while, Xiao Xian appeared to be very interested on the surface, but his heart gradually cooled down. There was definitely something wrong with this Jenny!

The longer Xiao Xian talked with Jenny, the more heated and ambiguous the topic became. Xiao Xian felt his murderous intent growing stronger, and at this moment, he even had the urge to tear Jenny to pieces.

Of course, this level of impulse wasn't serious for Xiao Xian, and he could easily restrain himself. After all, if he couldn't even control this level, he would have already cut his boss's money to 108 yuan when he went to work.

"I think I forgot to turn off the gas at home. I'll go turn it off. Also, my boss seems to want to talk to me about something work-related." With a dreamy yet reluctant smile, Xiao Xian glanced at Jenny's figure and then said to her.

"Okay, go ahead, Xiao Xianjun. I'll wait for you here. Be sure to come back. I've prepared a delicious meal for you."

Jenny looked at Xiao Xian's lecherous smile, but instead of being disgusted, she smiled happily, as if she was enjoying Xiao Xian's gaze.

"Yes, I'll try my best. I hope the leader won't have too much trouble." Xiao Xian stood up without the slightest hesitation.

Even the best romantic encounters are fleeting; you need to be alive to enjoy them. This is a superhero world, and a mutated one at that. It's no exaggeration to say it's fraught with danger. Xiao Xian doesn't want to die because of his lust right after he transmigrated here.

"If you're feeling stressed, come to me. I'll do my best to help you relieve the stress, Xiao Xianjun," Jenny said, looking at Xiao Xianjun as he stood up, her words full of implication or explanation.

"Mmm~ I will, you're such a nice person, Jenny." With an awkward laugh, Xiao Xian looked at the charming Jenny, but vaguely saw a monstrous and terrifying face next to hers.

"Jenny, if I may ask, what's your Japanese name?" With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Xian looked at the charming Jenny, especially the beauty mark under her eye, and asked. Charm, murderous intent, a terrifying face, Japanese—these elements combined, and a name was already on the tip of Xiao Xian's tongue.

"Tomie Kawakami," Jenny, or rather Tomie Kawakami, said with a charming smile.

"What a nice name, Tomie-chan. I'll visit you again when I have time." His heart was racing, but on the surface, Xiao Xian forced a smile, waved goodbye, and then the next second, a ding sounded in Xiao Xian's mind, followed by a light screen appearing in Xiao Xian's field of vision.

Hey~

The system is already bound!
