Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

The next day, early morning.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Hawking slowly opened his eyes and then loosened his hands, which he had been clenching all night.

"It's so hard to master, so incredibly hard to master!"

He looked closely at Wanda, who was in a deep sleep beside him due to exhaustion from the previous night, and couldn't help but sigh.

"From now on, I have a new identity—husband."

"It might not be long before I become a father."

With his current physical body, as long as he doesn't deliberately restrain himself, he can basically hit the target every time, so it's not a possibility, but a certainty.

He certainly didn't restrain himself last night; if it weren't for the cleaning product, the sheets would probably have had to be changed several times.

"I'll probably sleep until the afternoon."

After getting out of bed and having a quick breakfast, Hawking opened his control panel.

He had previously unlocked a new protagonist template, but hadn't had time to check it out until now.

"Loading the Kamado Tanjiro template."

In an instant, the boy's memories of the past fifteen years flashed through his mind.

Tanjiro, a kind and gentle man, was born into a poor charcoal-selling family. He was the eldest son in the family, and his father had passed away when he was young. He had three younger brothers and two younger sisters.

He was born with an extraordinary sense of smell and made a living by selling charcoal in the town at the foot of the mountain.

However, one day when he returned home after selling charcoal, he found that his mother, three younger brothers and one younger sister had been brutally murdered, leaving only the eldest sister, Mizuko, alive.

But on the way down the mountain to seek medical treatment for his younger sister, he found that his sister had become very strange and even attacked him.

He finally learned the truth when he met Giyu Tomioka, the Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.

It turns out that there exists a monster called a ghost in this world. Ghosts are immortal and incredibly strong creatures that are transformed from humans. They crave human flesh and blood and have no memories or emotions from their previous lives.

The more people it eats, the stronger it becomes, and it is almost impossible to kill by any physical means except by cutting off the neck with a Nichirin Blade made of special metal.

Once transformed into a demon, it will not hesitate to kill and eat its own family members.

However, unlike the zombies, ghouls, and vampires that Hawking knew in his previous life, the demons in this world are basically transformed from an initial demon called Muzan Kibutsuji, who is also the most powerful demon.

Not just any ghost can turn a human into a ghost.

Moreover, all demons, including the most powerful Muzan Kibutsuji, have a fatal weakness: they fear the sun. If they are exposed to the sun for too long, they will be killed by the sunlight.

Tanjiro's family died at the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji, and his sister Nezuko was also turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji.

But strangely, her sister seems different from normal demons, because she still has familial feelings for Tanjiro, and she recovers from her injuries by sleeping instead of eating people because Tanjiro restrains his desire to drink blood.

Guided by Giyu Tomioka, he and his sister became apprentices of the former Water Pillar, learning breathing techniques and joining the Demon Slayer Corps, which is dedicated to killing demons and protecting humans.

I hope that one day I can find Muzan Kibutsuji to avenge my family and find a way to turn my sister back into a human.

Along the way, they met Zenitsu Agatsuma, the inheritor of the Thunder Breathing Technique who is usually timid but can unleash tremendous power when unconscious, and Inosuke Hashibira, the creator of the Beast Breathing Technique who wears a boar's head mask and was raised by wild boars.

I also met Kanao Tsuyuri, the successor of the Flower Breathing Technique who is unable to make choices on her own due to psychological barriers, at headquarters.

His memories end when he was fifteen, when Tanjiro carried his sister and two friends to the Mugen Train to support the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku.

The strongest swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps are the "Pillars," of whom there are currently nine. The rest are ranked according to the ten Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

The strongest demon is Muzan Kibutsuji, followed by his twelve demon moons: Upper Moon Six and Lower Moon Six.

On this Mugen Train, Tanjiro and the others first encountered Lower Rank One Enmu, and ultimately defeated the demon while ensuring that no ordinary humans died on the train.

However, they soon encountered Akaza, the Upper Moon Three.

Then they were plunged into a fierce battle. The Upper Moon demons were powerful, many of them had the blood of the previous Pillars on their hands, and some had even eaten more than one Pillar, but they were rarely killed by the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Breathing techniques?"

After reading Tanjiro's memories, Hawking showed an expression of great interest.

In fact, this world is one of the weakest worlds he has ever encountered, much weaker than the previous Jujutsu Kaisen world.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be of much help to him; at most, it would just add a new power to his inner universe.

The key point is that the breathing techniques used by humans in this world are not the kind of energy that can be cultivated to produce chakra, magic power, or spell power. They are merely a method of controlling breathing to improve control over the body and unleash potential.

But it was precisely this subtle breathing technique that piqued his interest.

I'm even more interested in them than those so-called ghosts or blood demon arts.

In his view, ghosts, though seemingly powerful, are actually nothing special.

Blood Demon Arts are similar to superpowers; they are abilities that ghosts are born with. There's not much to say about them. If he's going to study that stuff, he might as well study mutants and Inhumans in the Marvel universe.

Looking at the demon's strength, with its physical body exceeding human limits and terrifying regenerative abilities, it seems quite formidable.

In Hawking's eyes, they were no different from humans in the Marvel universe who had been injected with various gene-mutating agents, and even worse because of their fatal weakness of being afraid of sunlight.

Throwing Hulk in would probably be enough to crush these so-called ghosts.

Moreover, despite having such a significant advantage, the Ghost Swordsman still couldn't defeat a Ghost Swordsman who had no energy in a normal one-on-one battle, demonstrating that the Ghost Swordsman's breathing technique was indeed very unique.

Of course, with Hawking's current physical body, he doesn't need to use breathing techniques to unleash his physical potential. To unleash his physical potential, he can simply open the Eight Gates Formation.

Ultimately, the reason he values ​​breathing techniques is because of their absolute control over the body.

His strength improved too quickly, so his control over his body and internal energy was not very precise, and he basically relied on brute force to achieve miraculous results.

There's nothing wrong with that. As long as the desired effect is achieved, there's no need to spend a lot of time on such precise control.

However, the appearance of the breathing technique reminded him of Ultra Instinct from the Dragon Ball world.

He plans to develop Super Saiyan 4, not Super Saiyan Blue, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to learn Ultra Instinct, the divine technique of the Dragon Ball world.

Because Ultra Instinct is not the evolutionary path of Super Saiyan Blue, but a divine control technique mastered by the Angel race, anyone with talent and ability can learn it.

The key to Ultra Instinct is to separate the body from the mind, allowing each part of the body to perceive the surrounding danger beyond instinct, without needing the brain to think before acting.

But the prerequisite for reaching this level is that you must first have sufficient control over your own body.

If you can't even fully control your own body, how can you talk about making your body act beyond your consciousness in another aspect?
