The World of One Punch Man – City "D", Inside the Laboratory.
"My little brother, drink this, and you will finally gain the power you've always sought!"
Zaki looked at his older brother—the mad scientist who had always been obsessed with fulfilling his dream: making Zaki powerful.
Yes, Zaki had transmigrated to the world of One Punch Man!
Without thinking, Zaki took the vial and drank it all in one go. The moment he swallowed the liquid, an unbearable pain surged through his head and body. Veins bulged across his skin as his muscles expanded rapidly!
His body began to grow, rising until it hit the ceiling—and it didn't stop. His size kept increasing until he pierced the clouds, becoming a giant towering over the skies.
His deranged brother looked up at his now colossal sibling, laughing hysterically, "Hahaha! With this, we can take over the world—mind and muscle, together!"
But the lab couldn't withstand Zaki's massive body—it crumbled beneath him.
"Brother! Help me! The lab is collapsing!"
From above, Zaki stared down at the cities and clouds in disbelief. He had become an armored monster.
"Damn! I drank it without even thinking... just because I was thirsty!"
He regretted his recklessness—if only he had waited. But it was too late for complaints.
Looking down at his brother trapped under rubble and debris, Zaki decided to save him—after all, he was his brother, even if this body was new. He reached down to grab him.
But as he leaned over, he lost balance. His giant hands came crashing down with force.
"Brother! No! I'm under you!!"
BOOM!
His hand slammed to the ground—crushing his brother like a squeezed blood pie.
Zaki, trying to stabilize himself, had no idea what he'd just done. Once steady, he noticed a pool of crushed blood and what remained of a lab coat beneath him.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"What... what have I done?!"
"I killed him! I killed my brother!"
"Was my brother fated to die by my hands in this life too?!"
(DING!)

Zaki stared at the system panel, deep in thought. He wasn't unfamiliar with systems—he had read about them in novels.
"System, what's your purpose? How do you help me? And why me?"
(Host, our purpose is to assist humans in this world in eliminating monsters.)
(We help the host grow stronger through skill upgrades using points.)
(Why you? Because you're lucky. In your past life, you died of asthma. You were reborn here. If you don't wish to stay, we can erase your soul—after all, you were already dead.)
Zaki read the system's response and realized how lucky he was. He had been reborn. Sure, this world was brutal—but living was better than dying!
"System, can you help me control my power? I want to return to my normal human size and appearance—like in my past life."
(Yes!)
"I didn't expect the system to be this helpful!"
In that moment, Zaki began to shrink, his body returning to his former height—1.8 meters.
He checked himself—his strength remained intact. A wave of relief washed over him.
Looking around, he saw the destruction he had caused. He decided to leave the area before anyone discovered him.
As he took a step forward, he suddenly dashed off with a powerful burst—leaving behind the sound of air tearing apart!
"Wooooaaah!"
As he ran with incredible speed, Zaki felt joy—an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time. He pushed harder with his legs, and the sound of the wind tearing grew louder as he crossed a massive distance in a flash—barely aware of how far he'd gone.
