Chapter 1: beginning
"Defeat!"
"AHHHHHHHHHH"
That was the fifth loss today, right on my day off. I'm on a bad luck streak.
Looking at the highlight reel of the match, where a golden player, playing Tracer, practically solo-killed 4 people on my team and got an assist, while a Widowmaker headshotted me and killed me.
"0 to 3… why haven't I deleted this game yet?"
My God, the thing I hate the most is losing.
But, even complaining, I knew it would be easier to burn my house down than to stop playing Overwatch.
I looked outside, it wasn't even 10:00 am and it already felt like I was dead. I got off the laptop, went to bed, and grabbed my phone.
I wanted to take a break to see if this bad luck streak would pass.
While I was looking for something to distract myself, I started reading the Tracer comic again. Even though she's one of my favorite heroes, she's the one I play the least; if I've played 5 games with her, I'll think it's a lot.
Looking at the world of Overwatch, I can't help but think how amazing this world is. Imagine being able to participate in this world as an agent? Or being a genius scientist who creates incredible technology like Winston, who created the chronal accelerator, or Efi Oladele? Hahah, the girl was 11 years old and created Orisa, the tank who looks most like a mother.
And also the tank I hate the most in this game… but the girl is a genius.
Fighter or creator, maybe being a ninja like my favorite support, Kiriko, and her fox spirit "magic."
Playing with them, being a leader on missions as a strategist.
A laugh escaped my mouth; it would be cool to live in that world.
…
"Where am I?"
That was the first thing I said.
I'm no longer in my room, but in a place that's all blue, more like a cutting-edge technology room that I've seen in futuristic movies.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
I said to nothing. There was nothing here.
I looked around. At my body, and there were several wires connected to various parts. Looking closely, it seems like I'm naked. I say "seems" because I'm covered in metallic armor. I tried to take all this off my body.
And at that moment when a wire came off [It's not recommended that you do this].
A robotic voice came out, not sounding feminine or masculine, but you can tell it's robotic.
"Who are you? Where am I?"
A transparent screen appeared in front of me with blue letters changing rapidly.
[10...30...44...55...87...99...100... initialization complete]
What was happening? Why did I fall asleep and appear here? And what is this?
[Searching for related voice model. Voice model analyzed. Integrating voice model 'Athena'. Integrating Model.]
With each new word spoken, the voice seems more familiar, a voice I know very well. This is the voice of the AI from my favorite game. But why is it imitating that voice?
[Full capacity. Starting activities in 3, 2, 1.]
[Hello, my host, how are you?]
"Who are you? What's going on? Where am I? What place is this? Why am I here and not in my room?" I asked one question after another, finally a voice besides my own and I was desperate for information.
[One question at a time, host. I have no name, but you can call me system, but also known as leader system.]
[You are in the midst of transmigration, going to a new location in time and space. Therefore, I ask that you do not remove the armor and synthetic wires; they prevent you from dying at the moment. 3, 2, 1. Ready, you can take them off now; the transmigration is over.]
This voice is Athena's, but colder, as if she's just doing her job. As if I died, she would go to the next and next.
"I need to calm down and think straight. Getting nervous won't help," I said to myself.
Looking at the floating screen, I say: "You're a system, right?"
[Yes, host. To be more precise, I am just the leader system.]
Leader… possibly team leader? Or money-making system like a CEO being the leader of a company?
Transmigration.
"You said you were transmigrating. Where am I being transmigrated to?" I think that was a good question.
[You are correct, transmigrating to the DC universe, timeline… unknown, power level… unknown, year… unknown at the moment.]
"DC? IN THE SAME WORLD WHERE DARKSEID AND DOOMSDAY APPEAR EVERY DAY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" I yelled, how could I not? Anyone who likes romance has possibly wanted to go to a world like DC, but thinking about actually going is another story.
Especially to a world like DC, which is a sign of the most dangerous for someone without power.
[Calm down, host. I am a system for people like you.]
"Like me? I don't understand what you mean."
[Want to do something, but are afraid to do it.]
Well… I made a scene, didn't I.
Okay, time to think about what I want to say.
"System, what can you do and why did you copy Athena's voice from Overwatch? This question will answer many things that are on my mind."
[As a leader system, I will give you the leadership position in any position, of any company, private or not.]
[At this moment, I am changing to your requests.]
[Setting up the world, as your request escapes everything I have already done, I have to make many modifications at the same time.]
[I apologize for the limited information.]
[And the reason for having analyzed and integrated the Overwatch AI's voice is related to your desire.]
Desire? I didn't make any, I didn't know any Rob or God related to Overwatch, but what does Overwatch have to do with DC? There wouldn't be any crossover between these two.
"What was my request? Because I didn't make any."
[Your request was - to be a leader on missions as a strategist - referring to Overwatch agents.]
"But I was just talking, you know? If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked to be a hero with a harem of 200 women." I said, almost shouting, "Look at the opportunity I missed."
[If that was your wish, I wouldn't have granted it. I'm not just a system that - in your words - puts everything in your hand. My hosts work hard, they are natural leaders, who change the world when they appear. You won't be God, but you will be the best leader this world has ever seen.]
"Hum... I understand what you mean, but can I go back to my world?" I asked. This thing isn't for me.
[Yes, you can. If you fail your first mission, you will return to your world as if nothing had happened.]
[Some of my hosts failed their first mission, but many wanted a second chance.]
[You were chosen to be my host. You will want to lead, lead them, lead to a better world, lead Overwatch. After all, the thing you hate most is losing, right?]
...
This system. It hit my weak spot. I know I'm bad at Overwatch, but I consider myself a fan and I love helping my team get the win, no matter what class or game, always towards victory.
"And was it because of this thought that you brought me to DC? Why would you do that? I don't know how to fight, I'm not the smartest, I'm not even a grandmaster in Overwatch."
[Because you meet the requirements. You are not, so I will make you the best leader this world has ever seen.]
[Batman will kneel and ask to be your student.]
...and for the first time, that voice came out less robotic and more like... a Chinese master... hahahahaha.
That was the first laugh I had that day.
"You're right, I don't like to lose and it's not like there's much for me in that world... even if this is surreal, maybe it's worth it."
[I'm glad you liked it, host. I'm finishing the preparations.]
"So, what are my powers? Super strength, gravity manipulation? I'm excited." I said smiling, who wouldn't want to have powers that could only be seen in fantasy?
[Passive: you become smarter the more you study.]
...
"And..."
[That's all my hosts get from me.]
"How am I going to be the leader of Overwatch in DC by just getting smarter?" I asked shocked. It's normal for the transmigrator to be weak at the beginning, but having no power at all is ridiculous. Getting smarter, anyone can do that. Some less than others, but everyone gets smarter.
[As a leader, you need to lead. You won't be on the battlefield.]
"... like Oracle."
[Exactly, you will be the head of Overwatch. Your words will decide whether they come back alive or not from the battle, whether innocent people will die or live.]
"But that's a lot of responsibility for someone like me." I said shocked, I didn't think it would be like this.
[Responsibility... that's what it means to be a leader.]
...
[So, are you going to give up? If you stay still, the mission will fail and you'll go home.]
The system spoke emotionlessly, and listening to everything so far, there was only one thing I knew I had to say.
"Not a chance, this mission will be completed without casualties." I said determined, after all, I have nothing to lose. It will be victory or victory.
[I'm glad you accepted. That's what I expect from my host and a leader, to know that many are at your command, ready to follow your orders, and their lives are in your hands. Not everyone can be one.]
"You had said we arrived, right?" I asked, remembering his words.
[Yes, changing your clothes.]
Now that I remembered how I was dressed, when I looked at my body, the armor and wires were gone and I was wearing a suit. It was very comfortable.
"System, what's the situation?" I need to know what's going on right now.
[A war against meta-humans]
"What do you mean?"
[Exactly, a group of meta-humans called "The Evolution" declared war on the world. The war is at its peak now.]
"Okay, you said it's an unknown DC world, possibly a mix of several stories and new ones... but is there anything I should know?"
[Yes, in this 'war', the members of Evolution are using the UN restrictions on meta-humans, which only the Justice League has the right to interfere in this type of situation, about meta-humans and extraterrestrial invasion, to declare this war on the world. With the UN restrictions in this type of situation, world leaders decided to create a new organization.]
"And the world accepted this war and did nothing?"
[It wouldn't be much when you have a gun and they have a meta-human who releases explosive bombs as naturally as breathing.]
"What about nuclear bombs?"
[Are you telling the US to drop a nuclear bomb on themselves?]
"Leave it."
[Can I continue?]
Is she irritated?
"Yes, please continue."
[With the consent of the major nations, the Aegis Global Authority was created, which is an organization linked to the UN.]
"I got it, but what does Overwatch have to do with it?"
[Overwatch was a company focused on general technology, but when a team was making a serum to give soldiers superhuman strength, something went wrong. In an explosion, everyone responsible for the experiment died, but a soldier who was in the experiment survived, gaining the strength of a super soldier.]
[Because of this and two other mistakes, creating powerful soldiers, Overwatch, which was only focused on technology, was chosen to be subordinate to the Aegis Global Authority.]
"You made a lot of changes to the world," I said impressed, like a God who changed the whole world for his son to play with.
[I can only change once, so I have to change to give my host a chance to have a good start.]
[Having a good start doesn't mean it's going to be easy.]
"What about the Justice League?"
[Currently helping in the war.]
"How long has this war been going on?" I forgot to ask that question.
[It's one week away from completing four months.]
"And how long do I have to do this mission?"
[One week.]
"... seriously?"
[Yes, this war has to end in a week.]
"Okay, what members do I have and what's the situation with Overwatch now?"
[First you're going to meet a main member of Overwatch, so you can have more system functions]
[When you see an Overwatch member, you can ask for more details. I'll summarize the situation.]
As I was about to speak further, a knock came at the door that I only now noticed existed.
I calmed down and called whoever was there to come in: "Come in."
A dark-skinned woman with curly hair and brown eyes entered, wearing formal clothes. She had a hurried expression on her face, as if she had been running.
"Captain Moissan, the members are waiting for you to start the mission," the woman said with urgency on her face.
"Yes, I'm coming. You can go ahead," I said as calmly as I could. When she left, I spoke to the system.
"System, what did she mean by that?" I asked curiously.
[One of the Overwatch members discovered the location of one of the "Evolution" vice-leaders. The meeting is to discuss what to do next.]
"I understand... I'm not going to lie, it's a lot to think about. I'm nervous!"
[It's strange not to be. Anyone in this situation would be, but you can decide to give up or not.]
"So my mission is..."
[To end this war in a week.]
...
I won't give up.
...
In the meeting room, with a huge table capable of seating over 30 people, but only 5 were sitting, waiting for their captain to arrive. One of them was a gorilla eating peanut butter, a young girl who was smiling looking at pictures of kittens, a woman who was holding a sniper with all the care in the world, a robot that was just floating as if it was thinking about something, and a blond man looking at his watch, as if he was counting the seconds.
"He's late," said the soldier.
"Give him a break, 76. He just lost his father, it's normal not to be so willing," said the woman who was messing with her cell phone.
"He's the leader of Overwatch now, Tracer. I know losing your father is hard, but as one of the powers that can end this war, he must lead. That's what Matheus gave his life for, so we could have more advantage in this war. And now we've discovered the location of one of those trash, we have to act as fast as possible," said the soldier calmly, as if all the words he said were basic... and he wasn't wrong.
Many died to have this advantage: friends, comrades, everyone lost someone. It's normal to want to end those responsible for this. He lost someone, but everyone lost.
Everyone fell silent. They knew that what the soldier said was the purest truth.
The oldest woman in the group put her hand on her right eye. Being one of those who participated in the previous attack, she knew that the soldier's words were the purest truth.
At that moment, a man entered the room, appearing to be 24 years old, with an athletic body, short brown hair and an expensive-looking suit. He sat at the end of the table, the place where he could look at everyone... and everyone could look at him.
"I think everyone knows me, but I'll introduce myself again. My name is Julian Moissan, I'm the captain and leader of Overwatch, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
.....
(Aut-... I hope you enjoyed it, and I apologize for any mistakes. I changed a lot of things and I'm trying not to go crazy while I write, but I'm more focused on young justice).
