The sound of friends talking inside a loud classroom could be heard. The rustling of seats as they moved across the room to their friends. The sounds of laughter and jokes.
In the back of the classroom, a seat was placed next to the window. Classic protagonist seat. The two were 17 years old and were talking to each other.
They were different at a glance. The one sitting in the chair had two legs placed on the table as Harry leaned back, with a pencil balancing between his lips and nose.
This boy was our protagonist. Jake Shenal is now known as Harry Osborn. Harry had shoulder-length hair. It was brown and shiny. It was smooth, and the middle parted with tiny bangs above the eyebrows.
He was noticeably lean, and compact muscles littered his body as his white shirt sleeves were rolled up, showing his developed arms. At a height of just 6'0, he had a handsome face to boot.
Standing beside his chair was Peter Parker. The usual nerd with wide blue ties, glasses too big for his face and pants that were too short to reach his black shoes.
Peter Parket would always be a shy nerd in the beginning, but this time, it was not like this. Harry, knowing Peter's high upper limit, hired him years ago.
Years ago, Peter's aunt may have fallen ill due to overwork and had to be placed in the hospital for a month. As you would imagine, the healthcare system in America was not merciful.
Bills built up over the time that Aunt May was in the hospital. The Parker family was on the brink of going homeless as the debts that they owed were not something they could pay.
The debt was an astonishing $300,000!
That wasn't something the poor Peter could afford. But they were in luck, as a mere month before this, Jack had been reborn in Harry Osborn's sick and disease-ridden body.
In this universe, Harry's sickness went beyond the original comic and ended his life in his sleep. Peaceful and painless. This granted the new Harry many opportunities.
Using the opportunity and the big money that his daddy had. Harry searched the place Peter lived and took advantage of the chance to gain intelligence on par with Reed Richards.
He paid the debts of Aunt May and hired Peter as his assistant. Norman Osborn was confused, but he would do it for his son without hesitation. He saw how bad the sickness was for Harry.
The guilt of knowing that his son could die any moment, Norman almost went mad as he started searching for anything to cure the only thing left, his son.
But to everyone's surprise. Harry started healing slowly. His skin and bones. Harry's body started filling with fat, and Harry knew his sickness was miraculously cured.
Harry began training for muscles. Working with famous scientists who helped him build muscles. For pure bursts of power and speed with the agility of a cat.
Machines strapped to his body, vibrations that improved muscle connectivity. Muscle growth, but for lean power. The durability and endurance of a tiger and a cat.
Even without any power, Harry took full advantage of his billionaire dad, hired famous martial arts teachers and studied for years. Harry's power neared superhuman without any enhancements or powers.
Why was Harry doing all of this?
The answer was quite simple. Harry has the dream of becoming Spider-Man. Specifically, a supreme Spider-Man. He wants to finish his fights and villains easily.
But for that to happen, Harry must not be killed before that happens. The only way to ensure something like that is by becoming strong enough to protect oneself.
And what's the easiest way to get powers that far outclass those of Captain America and could rival superhumans? Becoming Spider-Man is the answer.
Harry was in his mind, thinking of things he needed to do to start his superhero career. Suddenly, Peter's words startled him out of his thoughts as he scraped the chair and stood up.
The classroom went quiet as everyone looked at Harry with curiosity and shock. All the time that Harry spent in school, they never saw him shocked, ever.
Harry was known as a genius in school. Gifted with genes far beyond the norm. Handsome, rich and always humble. Of course, Peter knew how much effort went into becoming as good as Harry.
The countless nights of training, sweat and blood. Sometimes, broken bones and hospital visits. But Peter always saw something different in Harry.
They will not give up.
Peter saw the will to not give up on Harry. If he gave up, then his life would be over without any meaning. Peter's respect for Harry has grown from gratitude to genuine awe and respect.
"Peter! Are you sure you did it?!" Harry asked as he gripped Peter's shoulders with too much power. Peter flinched, and Harry pulled back with an apology.
"Yes, Harry. The suit you told me to design has been finished. Though I don't know why you would want something like that," Peter said with a raised eyebrow.
Harry was too excited. Without words, Peter started walking to the exit of the classroom, and Peter followed with words. Coming out of the room, Harry almost collided with someone.
"Harry, where are you off to with such speed?" Gwen asked with a raised eyebrow as she watched her friend and crush walk down the hall like he was running to an ice cream truck.
"Sorry, Gwen! I have to go somewhere. Catch you later!" Harry looked back with a grin and waved his hand. Leaving a confused Gwen, who watched them walk away.
"What has gotten into him? I have never seen him this excited..." Gwen muttered with a smile. Seeing her friend excited for something always makes her excited for him as well.
Outside Midtown High School. Harry and Peter got into a black limo, and the driver drove away without a word. The two soon arrived at a massive building that pierced the clouds.
This tower was called The Tower of Totem. The tower was 200 meters tall. This tower was not a joke. Harry offered his future knowledge as a tool to increase his wealth.
Harry created a company with his father under his name. Harry called this company Futuristic Entertainment Force, or FEF for short. This was the start of Harry's plan.
Harry leveraged his knowledge of future trends and popular consumer preferences to create social media apps that would generate revenue.
Harry created TikTok, and every creator who earns money from the app will have to give him 1% of their total earnings after tax. That might sound like a scam, but these apps were revolutionary for Marvel.
The second thing that Harry created was Instagram, and the third app was Twitter. Instagram was in the same boat, with Twitter being free to use for everyone, but no one can earn money from it.
Using Daddy's money, Harry hired some famous people in the world, such as Tony Stark, and had them create videos on his apps to promote them to civilians.
In its first year, TikTok generated 150 million, while Instagram earned 100 million in the same period. Launched simultaneously, their combined revenue totalled 250 million.
Harry also did not have to hire people to manage the apps since Peter was by his side and made it the most secure app on the planet. Harry was also generous and gave Peter a yearly salary of 5 million US Dollars.
Pssshhh!
Two electric doors opened as a ray scanned Harry's eyes. Peter and Harry entered the elevator, and the elevator went down. A minute later and 100 meters underground, the door opened.
Exiting the elevator. Hundreds of high-speed cameras. Machine guns were mounted on the door. Grenade launchers are ready. Highly trained assassins and guards were patrolling.
The room was the size of a football stadium, with bulletproof glass covering it and the assassins and guards outside of the glass. The only ones who can enter the glass are Peter and Harry.
"Sir! We have been patrolling and swapping shifts 24/7, and we did not notice anything!" The head assassin said as he got on his knees. Harry nodded with a smile.
Entering the glass. The glass formed around Harry and Peter before forming into its shape. Hard enough to block missile bombs from breaking it.
Walking into the middle of the room, the people outside could not see into it, as everything was invisible. It was due to a secret double glass inside that created a deceitful room.
Only Harry and Peter know of its existence. So, everyone who has been down here only ever sees a room with scientific equipment and nothing else. It also has blockers that block scanning and infrared scanning.
"Finlly... It's ready," Harry whispered with an excited grin. Blue light flashed on his face as a smoking chamber revealed a suit placed on a mannequin the same shape as Harry.
"My suit..."
