Crunch—

The sound of a mouse shattering echoed as Roger accidentally crushed his own mouse in a fit of frustration.

Staring at the broken mouse, then at the screen in front of him, Roger swallowed hard, replaced the broken mouse with a spare one, and continued browsing the webpage.

"Andrea, A transmigrator who accidentally arrived in the Marvel Universe, possesses a mind no less brilliant than Iron Man's, and has created many technologies. Her proudest invention is..."

Roger scrolled further.

"The artificial intelligence, Athena."

Roger's pupils contracted as he tightly controlled his strength to avoid crushing the spare mouse in his hand like the first one.

Slumping into his chair as if all energy had left him, Roger stared at the illustration on the screen.

Previously, he had thought all of this was just a coincidence. But now, after seeing Andrea's illustration, he could no longer convince himself otherwise.

Not only was the character's design the same, but so were the name and the technology she developed. What were the odds of such a coincidence?

Could it be that the person Roger transmigrated into was merely a fan-made character created by an amateur artist?

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Roger sat up straight, carefully examining the character description provided by Luna. Although the explanation was sparse, there was a brief outline of Andrea's life.

Roger flipped through a few relevant sketches and discovered a crucial discrepancy in the character's design.

"Not a Sorcerer Supreme...?"

The character description Luna provided didn't include the title of Sorcerer Supreme. It only mentioned that Andrea was an ordinary person striving to become a supreme being.

While she gained Asgardian lineage due to certain circumstances and used the power of the Infinity Stones, she had never studied magic and was definitely not a Sorcerer Supreme.

"Was the character design wrong? Or is this a fan design of a fan design?"

Although this minor inconsistency wasn't enough to explain much, the difference between Luna's description and Roger's knowledge of the character made him uneasy.

There was something that didn't quite add up.

But no matter how much he thought about it, it was futile. To find out more about the character design, he would have to ask the creator of this work—Luna.

"The problem is, it's not easy to contact her."

Roger picked up his phone, found Luna, but hesitated to send a message.

After all, they were mere acquaintances. Luna had reached out to Roger out of gratitude, but if Roger were to contact her proactively, it might seem like he was leveraging her gratitude.

Worse, people might misunderstand it as him pursuing her romantically.

Moreover, Roger hadn't figured out how to broach the topic if they were to meet.

Should he just come out and say, "I think I transmigrated into the character you designed"?

If he said that, he'd be lucky not to be labeled insane, let alone have a meaningful conversation.
