The doctor, Christine Palmer, becomes worried for Ryan. Maybe she should have hurried to the psychiatrist as Shirley said.

Before she could do anything. Mr. Hiddle, Knight's family butler, has arrived at the hospital.

Hiddle thought "Young Master finally woke up. I don't know whether this is a blessing or retribution for the Knights family." Hiddle always thought Ryan was a soft child, he is very fond of him.

The Knights family is a military family, and all of them are hardened men. But during the crisis 3 years ago, only Tim Knight, Ryan's father, is still alive. It almost seems like the end of the Knights' family, this goes on until Ryan wakes up.

The Knight's family was targeted by a secretive organization. False accusations, framing, and sabotage affected the whole family member. Tim persevered and tried to fight back, but instead, his son had an accident that was planned by the organization.

He also put his son inside a private hospital, and he falsified his son's identity to make sure he was not targeted. Not much to do when you're in a coma. Tim thinks that his son is weak or rather, his weaknesses. He didn't want to involve him in this.

He knows that if his son was taken, he would lose this war. After his wife died during childbirth, Ryan was the only love he had in this world. He would rather fight the whole world than lose his son.

That's why he was so angered by Ryan's attack that the entire enemy organization was flipped upside down and swore to cut down its root. He generated so much chaos that some upper-tier members of government and Congress came to calm him down. He's a mad dog in the shadows while posing as a respected member of society in the light.

Back to Hiddle. He came to ward 404, where Ryan is, he opened the door slowly, feeling guilty in his heart as he wasn't there for Ryan.

He has to support the knight's family, the living ones. 3 years ago the doctor said Ryan was barely alive and death will be mercy for him.

But due to Tim's insistence, Ryan could live to this day.

Hiddle was filled with a guilty conscience, as he supported the doctor at the time. He just… wanted the boy to have peace. It breaks his heart every day seeing the boy he raised could only live with life support.

The old butler took care of the boy meticulously. He cuts his hair, trims his nails, and makes sure he's comfortable if there's any chance he wakes up. He reads to the boy every time he has. To get a response from him was the old man's life's greatest wish.

Hiddle sees Ryan sitting on the bed with his half-opened. It seems like the sun's glare is too much for him. Hiddle walks slowly toward the blind and closes it. The corner of his eyes moistened when he neared the boy, who is now a young man.

Although he supports the doctor at the time to pull the plug, it can't be denied that he loves the young master. "Master Ryan... " Hiddle spoke slowly. Ryan looked at him and said, "long time no see, old man", with a shy smile.

Ryan has finished processing his memory. He needs to do it quickly as the Marvel universe is not for a slice-of-life genre. It's now 2005, 3 years before the plot for the canon started. And with the Osborne group, he knows this is not a canon MCU, but not quite the full marvel comic book universe, or he's in some variant timeline.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

He is a bit relieved that there's no mutant in this world. The mutant-verse is messy, and if he's in the world of mutants, he will support the mutants. No doubt about that. The discriminatory nature of humans has always sickened him, whether it is in the comic, or his previous world.

He wants to sleep. He wants to escape from this reality. He was having a panic attack till he heard the voice calling him. He turned and saw a white-haired, 180 cm tall old man who wears gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and with a kind temperament.

He refers to his memory and knows this is Hiddle, his housekeeper. In his memory, his father is a cold and calculating man. He knows his father's nature, but his father always tries to show him that he loves him. It's a little weird that his father is not here.

"How are you feeling, Young Master?" Hiddle walked into the room. "Well, I've been better," joked Ryan. Compared to his previous life, this body is undoubtedly better. But he can't show that. He needed time to adjust to his new life.

"After I talked to the doctor, we can go home now, '' said Hiddle. Ryan nodded. He agrees with Hiddle. There's nothing much to do in a hospital. And he needed to investigate the world he lives in now.

After 3 days of observation in the hospital, Ryan can go home. Dr. Christine Palmer wishes Ryan all the best, although Ryan doesn't remember anything, Christine has been observing him for 3 years and taking care of him. She's really glad Ryan woke up.

Ryan hugged the beautiful doctor to thank her. This is not in line with his personality, but he does it to avoid suspicion as the previous Ryan is a soft and kind kid. A little bit naive but he is a nice person. It's a little hard for him to pose as such a person.

Hiddle drives Ryan to the Knights Manor. "Master is in the middle east, handling some affairs. He'll be back in 3 months, ''said Hiddle. Ryan thought '' Your son was in a coma for 3 years, but you don't even see him when he wakes up".

Unknown to Ryan, his father never told the public about his coma and pretended that his son was studying in Europe. If he comes back now to see his son, it'll cause some suspicion. Although his problems are over, you can never be too sure.

Ryan goes into his room, this room is familiar and both unfamiliar at the same time. Nothing changed from his memory, but he knows deep down, that he is not Ryan Knight. There's also an uncomfortable matter for him as he cannot remember his last name, or his family in the previous life.

His friends, his country, and so on. He knows he has all those but when he tries to recall them, it's like it's been blocked. He's now a 174cm, blonde-haired man with purplish-blue eyes. His body is scrawny and thin, his cheeks are sunken, showing signs of atrophy for 3 years he's not moving.

He stares at his eyes for a while. In the Marvel universe, the color purple is not such a good thing. The purple man, Thanos, etc.

While contemplating, he thought "Well, at least my family's rich." It's a good thing that he has an identity, background, and influence to survive in this dangerous world. Now he's back in his 20's. There are a lot of things he can try.

Maybe he can further his studies. A regret that he has in his previous life is he doesn't further his studies. Because of his family circumstances, he quit halfway through his degree and started working.

"As I am 20, it'll be awkward to enter high school, maybe I can take the GED/SAT before applying to university." Ryan continues to settle down, he takes a book and starts to plan his life, a habit he has had in his previous life.

"Ryan Knight is a well-educated kid, although now at Peter Parker level or Gwen Stacy level, there's no problem to get into the ivy league." He then continues to sort off his memory, and after having dinner, he goes to sleep.

Hiddle only gives him soft food for now. He hated it as the old man treated him like he was fragile. While eating his breakfast, he had a thought. " Maybe I should go meet the Ancient One."

There are a lot of stories he read about transmigration, some of which had to do with the Ancient One. The male ancient one is ruthless, but the female ancient one is a little mellow and could be talked to. He's just not sure which it is.

If he went to the sanctuary, and then got banished to another dimension as he is not the inhabitant of this world, that will be the end of him. He shudders and pushes the matter to the back of his mind.

Ryan asked for a laptop. He then surfed the Web, but it's annoying as he's already used to the future information age. Maybe this world's technology is advanced compared to his previous world, but for personalization of technology and convenience, his previous world takes the cake.

He spent his day quite repetitious. As he needed to recover from prolonged atrophy of his body, he watched some cartoons, ate healthy food, got some exercise with his health instructor, or did therapy. Hiddle's insistence on this matter annoys him.

Few things give him comfort, such as some sitcoms or shows from his previous world; Malcolm in the Middle which is on TV showtimes, friends rerun, Star war/trek, and many more.

But there isn't manga, anime, comic book culture, and so on here. In fact, the comic or animation industry is almost extinct. Most movies are also shitty. It can't be helped that it's only 2005, but still.

He expected a transmigration life to be exciting, but this is boring. The old man also didn't allow him to go outside until his body condition was better. So he's stuck in the house. He's so bored that he doesn't even bother to pose as the nice and naive kid anymore.

After 2 weeks in this world, an intriguing thing happened during his sleep. He heard the sound of a chime that woke him up in the middle of the night. He's a little excited about seeing what happened. "Finally!"

There's a floating panel in front of his eyes that says…
