Awakening

As the high school bell chimed, the students began to stream out.

A fit teenage girl with dark red hair and green eyes walked out of the school. She appeared to be just 17 years old and quite tall, yet her well-toned muscles were hidden beneath her thick clothing.

The dark clouds acted as a shroud, casting an ominous evening gloom. As she crossed the road and approached an empty-looking street, she paused. The dimly lit street, with old houses and alleys, appeared rather eerie. The overcast weather didn't help the situation either.

'This doesn't look promising, but there's no other route.'

With determination, she proceeded down the street, only to be abruptly pulled into an alleyway. Her heart raced, though she expected it – after all, this is London.

A ruffian began searching, groping her in the process. while another held her tightly.

She desperately wanted to reach for her pocket knife, but the ruffian snatched it away, his surprise turning into a lecherous grin.

"Hehe~, little girl~ I didn't expect you to have this."

The man commented as he groped her, though she didn't shed a tear, trembling in her helpless state.

'If only I possessed magic like my family.'

She clenched her fist in anger and frustration, wishing for power as the ruffian cut through her clothes with the pocket knife, injuring her in the process.

Then, suddenly, something unexpected occurred.

[Host Lucy is in danger.]

[Emergency detected. Using the free Template.]

[Captain Carter]

[Free Template: [Captain Carter] is activated.]

Instantly, Lucy felt a surge of explosive strength. Her body bulked up in an instant, showcasing her newfound power. She grew to a towering height of 6 feet, her inner wear torn away on the spot. Her injury healed instantly.

The ruffians were stunned as Lucy's clothes tightened around her, and she flashed them a beastly grin. Breaking free from their grip, she easily dispatched the one who held her, his jaw shattering under her punch.

The other ruffian, who had groped her, saw her display of strength and fled in fear.

Yet, at an unexpected moment, the girl – no, the monster – stood before him with a terrifying smile.

"I'm a vengeful one."

Before he could call for help, Lucy's hand covered his mouth with superhuman force. His eyes filled with terror as Lucy's grip left him incapable of screaming.

Lucy seized the ruffian's genitals through his pants, saying, "I want you to understand how I felt."

A hint of despair crossed the ruffian's eyes. In his helpless state, an electric jolt surged through him, causing excruciating pain, stifling his screams due to Lucy's superhuman grip.

Lucy forcefully opened the ruffian's mouth and forced his genitals into it, a trace of ecstasy filled her heart.

'This strength...'

Both ruffians lost consciousness and barely clung to life. Lucy placed them together in the dark corner of the alley, feeling repulsed by their presence.

However, she knew killing them wasn't the answer.

'No, that's too merciful. They deserve a life of despair. Death would be a mercy they don't deserve.'

Lucy inflicted gruesome injuries on them – plucking an eye, severing a tongue, shattering their legs audibly, and even removing their facial skin, though not cleanly.

'Damn, the stench. Maybe that's why torture is frowned upon. The smell is unbearable. I wish I had just killed them, but that would've been merciful.'

Shaking her head, Lucy ensured everything was in order.

'It seems like the work of a deranged werewolf. I should be safe.'

After confirming her belongings, like her ID card and knife, Lucy returned to her apartment. Upon entering, she discarded her clothes and headed straight for the bathroom. Examining herself in the mirror, she saw a muscular girl with a well-built physique, standing at a proud six feet tall. Her sharp jawline and enhanced beauty gave her a striking appearance.

Filling the bathtub with hot water, Lucy soaked, lost in thought.

'I need to dispose of that dress somehow. And then there's this...'

[Name: Lucy Evans Potter

Level: 0

World: Low

Templates: [Captain Carter]

New Draw(s): 1

Missions: 1]

Lucy gazed at the status screen, a corner of her vision since activation. She was well-acquainted with the screen and the character Captain Carter.

After all, she was a reincarnated individual.

She couldn't recall her death, but she knew she had been reborn in the Harry Potter world, as the elder sister of Harry Potter himself.

Initially, she was excited – the chance to save her new parents and raise Harry with love. She'd envisioned adventures at Hogwarts and becoming a formidable witch.

Things began well – her new parents survived the attack, and Harry even got his famous scar.

However, reality often proves disappointing.

Everyone, including herself, realized she was a Squib.

She had drawn the short straw in the gene pool.

Initially, she felt disappointed, but she didn't dwell on it much, since she still had a powerful and loving family.

However, things unraveled swiftly. Her family began to distance themselves from her, making preparations for her impending exile to the normal world, as the laws of the wizarding world still applied to her, even as the sister of the 'Boy-Who-Lived'.

Nevertheless, they didn't abandon her entirely. They continued to send her substantial sums of money periodically, enabling her to lead a lavish life. She lived with a fellow squib who had raised her and had recently gained emancipation. As a result, she now resided on her own in an apartment she had purchased.

The fantasies she imagined slowly broke apart showing her the ugly truth of the world.

'Strength is everything'

Lucy refrained from speaking aloud, as she lacked trust in any wizard or witch. Being a regular individual, she dreaded the possibility of someone delving into her thoughts should she utter something out of the ordinary. This was particularly true for a specific headmaster. Consequently, she suppressed her emotions, choosing silence as a response to her fears and vulnerabilities.

Engaging in a gym routine to build strength became her way of coping.

'What am I thinking? Now's not the time to think about the past. Let's see what this system can offer. Hey, system, are you sentient?'

...

'Whether it's pretending or not, it's fine. Now, let's proceed.'

Mentally, Lucy commanded the system.

"Open the Draws."

Although spoken aloud, nothing occurred. She tried different phrases – 'Gamer system,' 'Shazam,' and more – to no avail.

'Alright, maybe if I men—Ah! That worked.'

Mentally, she interacted with the 'Draws' option, revealing a new screen.

[Available New Draw is used.]

[Template: [Jacob Black] is received.]

Lucy stared blankly at the screen.

"At least it's not those boring vampires, but..."

Recalling the Twilight series, she sighed. Though she'd been a supernatural fan, the series disappointed her with its low fantasy elements.

"Whatever, now for the missions."

[Missions: 1]

She mentally tapped the option, and a new screen materialized.

[Mission: Introduction of The System

Introduction: The System acts as an intermediary.

Originally, upon the host's awakening on their 18th birthday, a free complete Template of choice should have been provided. However, due to a threat, a Free template is used.

The first free template has already been utilized, leaving each subsequent draw to offer a Template. To fully merge with a Template, the host must fulfill certain missions.

Until a Template is completely merged, another draw cannot be initiated.

For leveling up, the host must undertake Ascension missions. A (+) sign will appear alongside the level number when the host is ready for advancement.

The host's ultimate objective is to attain Level 6, which provides further details.]

"A medium, huh..."

The origin of the system intrigued her. She had never encountered a God. Initially, upon her rebirth, she entertained the notion of a system, but it seemed impractical, given her lack of interaction with a wish-granting god. So, how could such a system exist? A mechanism that bestowed power, often with origins attributed to a divine controller.

"But what about gods? Could I transcend into a God with this system? Achieve omnipotence and eternal existence? Perhaps, one day, I can obtain an [Omnipotent God] template."

After bathing, she assessed her reflection in the mirror. After trimming her hair and showering, she dressed in her warmest attire. Despite the winter season, she felt no chill.

Seated on her bed, she delved into Captain Carter's memories. Although she lacked the captain's personal recollections, she possessed the memories of her marksmanship, martial arts expertise, weapon proficiency, and interrogation skills. Naturally, she could execute these abilities flawlessly.

"The mental enhancement from the super soldier serum proves quite valuable. My memory remains impeccable, and learning occurs at a remarkably rapid pace. I can master anything within hours or days, a feat that would take an ordinary individual decades."

Opting not to dwell on these thoughts further, she examined her system panel.

[Name: Lucy Evans Potter

Level: 0

World: Low

She accessed the missions:

Mission 2: Submerge the body in wolf's blood for 1 hour.

Mission 3: Kill a Werewolf.

Mission 4: Kill 10 Dark/cold creatures like vampires.

Mission 5: Eat werewolf heart.]

"Those are extremely challenging missions."

Lucy wasn't an ordinary squib; she was completely devoid of magic. She hoped the super soldier serum might awaken her magical genes, but she was uncertain.

"There's only one way to find out."
