Transmigrated into The Boys, Starting as Soldier Boy

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Starting Out as Soldier Boy, and My Dear Son Is Actually Homelander!

Cold... bone-chilling cold...

Mike Lee struggled to regain a shred of consciousness in the darkness.

Right now, his limbs felt as heavy as if they had been filled with lead.

There even seemed to be some kind of metal mask over his mouth, restricting his breathing.

As he instinctively struggled, he forced his heavy eyelids open...

The next moment, Mike froze.

What came into view were dim green indicator lights, thick bulletproof glass, and a dense tangle of metal tubes wrapped all around him.

This looked like a cryogenic hibernation pod.

Before Mike could figure out what was going on, a flood of strange and terrifying memories surged into his mind.

Battlefields swept by gunfire...

The dazzling aura of a superstar worshiped by the masses...

Deep in the jungle, the twisted, treacherous faces of the former members of Payback...

And beneath the glaring surgical lights, the long torment of being shot, injected with all kinds of unknown toxins, and even bombarded again and again with radiation weapons!

Several full minutes passed before Mike’s rapid breathing finally began to steady.

Shock flashed through his open eyes.

It seemed he had transmigrated.

And he had ended up in the bloody, violent world of The Boys!

Not only that, the owner of this body was no nameless nobody.

He was Vought’s true original icon, the veteran superhero with near-invincible defense and terrifying destructive power. Soldier Boy, Benjamin!

"Hiss... What a hell of a start."

Mike silently sucked in a sharp breath.

He forced his eyes to move, taking in the dim laboratory beyond the pod, with its heavy Soviet-era industrial style...

So what timeline was this, exactly?

If Mike remembered correctly, in the original story’s godawful plot, Soldier Boy had it miserable.

A first-generation American hero, and he had been frozen over and over again a full three times!

The first time was during the Nicaragua operation, when every member of the Payback squad he once led stabbed him in the back.

Black Noir led the charge, and even his old flame, Crimson Countess, took part.

In the end, he was sold to the Soviets as a political bargaining chip, then tortured like a lab rat in this sunless hellhole for nearly forty years, half-conscious the whole time.

And the mastermind behind it all was definitely Stan Edgar, Vought’s ever well-dressed, hypocritical, cold-blooded man in power.

The second time was after he had finally seen daylight again. He had originally agreed to help The Boys deal with Homelander.

But at the crucial moment, Soldier Boy lost focus because he was hell-bent on beating up his damn grandson. Then Butcher, cuckold jokes and all, completely threw him off with one line: "He’s my wife’s son." That was all it took to set off the infighting, and Soldier Boy ended up getting hit from every side.

Once again, he was treated as a dangerous, uncontrollable weapon, betrayed by The Boys, and locked back inside a cryogenic hibernation pod.

As for the third time, that was in the recently updated Season 5, Episode 7, with only one episode left before the finale.

After giving Homelander the V1 serum, Benjamin had originally planned to cut ties with the past for good and head to South America to enjoy himself.

But because he said, "Good luck, son," to Homelander...

That giant, love-starved infant Homelander instantly broke down.

With his emotions completely exploding, Homelander turned on him like a rabid dog, locked his arms around Benjamin’s neck, choked him unconscious, and sent him into cryogenic suspension for the third time...

After reviewing the original body’s tragic history, Mike couldn’t help rolling his eyes hard in his heart.

World’s Ice Boy, huh?

Frozen three times, betrayed three times!

What kind of first-generation hero was this? He was clearly just a superpowered sucker everyone could push around!

That cuck Butcher had a point, too.

Soldier Boy really was a massive cunt. No matter where he went, he would get stabbed in the back and betrayed.

But...

"Since my consciousness has completely taken over this body now, and I’m already awake..."

Feeling the terrifying power stirring deep inside him like a nuclear reactor, Mike’s lips curved into a defiant smirk beneath the metal mask.

Since the cryogenic device could no longer hold him, did that mean devices like this would no longer be able to restrain him from now on?

Before transmigrating, Mike had never been the type to waste energy tearing himself apart inside.

In his previous life, he had no parents and no partner. Now that he had come to this chaotic world filled with superpowers, he might as well settle in.

So what if he abandoned the identity of the old "Mike Lee"?

From today onward, he was Benjamin!

He would enjoy this perfect body at the peak of humanity, enjoy the absolute power brought by top-tier superpowers, and enjoy the endless pleasure of ageless longevity!

Since he was already here and could not go back anyway, he might as well live to his heart’s content in this world!

The moment Benjamin fully accepted his new identity, a panel suddenly lit up before his eyes.

A notification sounded beside his ear.

[Ding! Host consciousness fusion detected as complete. Son-Education System officially activated!]

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and continued reading.

[System Introduction: This system is bound to the host. Its mission is as follows: educate the rebellious offspring, Homelander (John)!]

[Mission Description: As Homelander’s biological father, you have a responsibility to pull this wayward son back onto the right path.

[Rewards include but are not limited to: unlimited all-around enhancement of the body’s basic constitution, acquisition of flight, acquisition of Heat Vision, improved control over Nuclear Shockwave, enhanced Self-Healing, and various other abilities...]

Looking at the words appearing on the screen, Benjamin, who had been relatively calm until now, sank into a rare, lengthy silence.

"The system... wants me to educate Homelander?"

In this world of The Boys, most people’s opinion of Homelander was surprisingly consistent: an extremely narcissistic giant baby, a cruel, bloodthirsty, perverted dictator.

Many people feared him.

The members of The Boys even dreamed of cutting him to pieces.

But... when it came down to it.

Benjamin did not actually hate Homelander.
