In Marvel, People are Kamen Rider - Chapter 1
Here’s the translation adapted to incorporate Kamen Rider or Marvel themes, with appropriate references to characters, skills, and items from those universes:
—
**New York at night.**
On the top floor of Manhattan’s most unique building—the Jerome Building—a luxurious room hosted a tangled scene of three figures.
“Slow down, Mr. Jerome! Slow down! I already… Oh!!!”
A girl momentarily paused the action in response to a high-pitched cry.
Another quickly took the main stage, becoming the primary force.
Finally, after more than twenty minutes.
Silence returned to the room.
Disregarding the two sweaty, sleeping twin beauties beside him, Lin Jerome rose from the chaos.
To Lin Jerome, these cover girls of December’s Maxim magazine were merely tools for release, not to be cherished.
As a rising tycoon unmatched in his era, any woman he desired was within his reach.
Saint Jerome Lin, 21 years old.
He earned dual PhDs in Mathematics and Computer Science from Princeton University at seventeen, and a PhD in Life Sciences from UC Berkeley at nineteen.
Founder and current CEO of Jerome Intelligence.
Launcher of the first intelligent satellite—the Satellite Zea.
Inventor of the humanoid robot, Humagears.
The youngest member of the American Academy of Sciences.
The youngest recipient of both the Turing Award and the Fields Medal.
His resume alone was enough to stun the masses.
Yet Lin Jerome was not one to rest on his laurels.
In a normal world, he would have gone by the moniker God, but this was the Marvel Universe, where he was known simply as a contender!
Indeed, Lin Jerome was a transmigrator.
Before crossing over, he was a renowned entrepreneur managing several toy, gaming, and film companies.
A year ago, at a party with a newly signed girl group, he suddenly lost consciousness after strenuous activity.
When he awoke, he found himself in the world of American comics as a genius orphan scientist.
Being a scientist in the Marvel world was fraught with danger and pitfalls.
Fortunately, Lin Jerome didn’t traverse time and space empty-handed.
A system named “Knight Century” emerged in his brain—a placement development game featuring Kamen Riders, co-developed by his company and Toei Company, Ltd.
For some reason, this game underwent a transformation and entered his mind, usable in this world.
His achievements were partly due to his inherited intellect and partly due to the system.
The game allowed for placing various Kamen Rider world items or monsters to influence the people of this world, earning the game’s unique currency—Influence Factors!
These Influence Factors could be exchanged for items from the Kamen Rider world.
From the Time Demon King Armor to a simple Disc Animal or ordinary coin, everything was available in the system’s store.
After transmigrating, Lin Jerome was thrilled to find that Kamen Rider items from the system could be used in the Marvel world!
This was a tremendous help!
Thus, with his dual-life experience and system support, a high-tech empire rose.
Saint Jerome Lin’s name was often mentioned alongside Tony Stark.
“Unknowingly, I’ve become an influential figure in this world! How delightful!”
Lin Jerome approached a large window, chest out, looking down at the bustling city below.
Behind the city’s lights lay unseen darkness.
From the moment New York became the world’s premier city, it was destined to be intertwined with sin.
Luckily, Lin Jerome was no saint either.
He relished the feeling of controlling everything.
“BOSS!”
Just then, a figure entered the dimly lit room.
Short hair, round face, delicate features, a slender figure.
Her hands neatly placed in front, exuding a blend of propriety and playful charm.
Most notably, a special device hung by her ear, emitting a faint blue light as she spoke.
Isu, the Humagears Lin Jerome exchanged from the system, served as his secretary and chief aide.
His success was closely tied to Isu.
“Let’s talk outside!”
Lin Jerome glanced at the sleeping twins, threw on a casual outfit, and followed Is to the brightly lit living room.
“BOSS, I’ve completed the investigation of the factory sabotage!”
Secretary Isu looked serious, all business.
“Was it Roxxon?”
Lin Jerome couldn’t help asking.
Jerome Intelligence has faced challenges since its inception.
The successive launches of intelligent phones and Humagears had kept Jerome Intelligence under constant scrutiny, attracting various covetous entities.
From capital to gangsters, even government forces sought to meddle, creating obstacles for Jerome Intelligence’s growth.
Especially recently, a factory producing Humagears was bombed, costing Lin Jerome significantly.
Thus, he had assigned Isu to investigate.
“Yes, it was Roxxon Group!”
Isu nodded solemnly.
“Roxxon has a mercenary squad known as the Serpent Squad, some with superpowers, which is why our security was breached!”
“Good to know! Seems like Roxxon doesn’t realize the trouble they’ve stirred!”
A cold light flashed in Lin Jerome’s eyes.
Certainly, Roxxon Corporation was a behemoth in the Marvel world.
As the world’s second-largest energy giant, only behind Walmart, stepping on giants like Exxon Mobil, Shell Oil, and Stark Industries.
Its scale dwarfed Jerome Intelligence by hundreds of times.
But having crossed Lin Jerome’s path, he was set on revenge.
“BOSS, should we deal with Roxxon now? Roxxon Energy has deep connections worldwide; it might be tough to take them down!”
Isu’s Humagears module flashed as if calculating, then she spoke.
“I’m not naive enough to think we can take down Roxxon right now! We just need to hit them where it hurts!”
Lin Jerome gently pinched his secretary’s cheek, feeling just like real skin.
Unfortunately, this early version of Isu lacked the technological singularity to comprehend human emotions.
“Understood! Then you go handle it! I’ll take care of everything at the company!”
Isu nodded immediately.
“With you here, I feel at ease!”
Lin Jerome trusted Isu completely.
As a “Retainer,” she was a system-provided assistant to help players.
Retainers lack will, possessing only the original character’s memories and traits.
As the sole player of the game, Lin Jerome had absolute control over all retainers and exclusive rights to exchange items from the Knight Century game.
He could distribute game items and equipment to others, and with a single command, retrieve everything he had issued!
