There was nothing too out of the ordinary about his second life. Well, his own life specifically that is. The world he lived in was mildly insane.

The Avengers were constantly throwing down with a seemingly endless number of villains of the week. The X-Men were a daily presence in the news as they struggled to promote goodwill towards their people. Alien invasions and exiled gods popped up from time to time. Typical crazy stuff.

As a normal human, he really couldn't afford to get wrapped up in that level of nonsense. Thankfully, Japan seemed to be relatively calm compared to the circus that was America. Seriously, what could he even do against enemies like Magneto, Loki, or Thanos? Spending his days flirting with his cute classmates and lazing around sounded much better in his books.

Hm? Why do his classmates this year look so familiar? Is that Shizuku Yaegashi? A voice in his head? Superpowers? Immortality? Gorgeous, super-powered women?

Hmm...

It would appear that Japan just might need its own superhero to act as a deterrent to Avengers level threats after all! With a power like this it would almost be a crime to not do all he could to accumulate power and save the world. Yep, he was just doing a public service here. No ulterior motives whatsoever, thank you very much.

Oh? The sinister six have captured Spider-Man and are about to execute him on live television? Sorry, can't help. Saving the world at the moment. Any reports that placed him at a campus bar flirting with Gwen Stacy at the time of the broadcast were false, obviously. Everyone he does he does for the sake of protecting the Earth! Everything. He meant everything.

Sorry? What was that? Is that Black Widow? Well, looks like the world will be saved quite a bit tonight.
