Restart, Spider-Man! [1]

New York, atop the Empire State Building.

Pay attention, this red and blue Spider-Man is called Xiaoshuai.

In the dark of night, he quietly climbed up to the top of the antenna tower of the building.

With clouds covering the moon, Xia Luo Parker found a spot to sit down and raised his hand to take off his mask.

The strong wind messed up the young man’s hair as he overlooked the neon city below, taking a deep breath of the cool night air before pulling out his phone from his collar.

Anyone who’s been Spider-Man knows that Spider-Man doesn’t have pockets.

He opened the phone.

[Spider-Man, I know who you are.]

[I am your father!]

[…]

[Listen, meet me at the Empire State Building at 10 PM tonight, or I will kill everyone around you without mercy.]

The phone screen showed this message, and the sender was none other than Norman Osborn, without any disguise.

Norman Osborn, a famous New York entrepreneur, father of Harry, and the supervillain Green Goblin who had recently thrown the city into chaos!

As for him, Xia Luo, a transmigrator, his current name was Xia Luo Parker.

Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Harry—everything Spider-Man was supposed to have, he had it all.

Not long ago, after being bitten by a mutated spider, he naturally became Spider-Man.

Super strength, fast reflexes, web-shooting, Spider-Sense, wall-crawling—he had all the powers.

But unfortunately, compared to the movie Spider-Men, his abilities were far weaker. His Spider-Sense was unreliable, his reflexes were only slightly better than an average person’s, his strength wasn’t enough to lift a small car, and only his web-shooting and wall-crawling abilities barely passed.

The weakest Spider-Man was now being targeted by the craziest Green Goblin.

Xia Luo shook his head slightly.

After becoming Spider-Man, all he had done was use his powers to mess with some small-time thugs and borrow a bit of money here and there—he hadn’t even had a chance to cross Norman Osborn.

Yet somehow, this guy had discovered his identity and invited him to this meeting.

He accepted the threat.

Just a day ago, Norman, as the Green Goblin, bombed an Osborn company shareholder meeting, and Harry was present at the time. Norman had completely lost his mind and could do anything.

Spider-Man’s fate is tragic, and Xia Luo didn’t want to lose the people close to him.

Family, friends, lovers—they would all face danger because of Spider-Man’s identity.

Spider-Man is lonely.

In his second life, Xia Luo refused to accept such a miserable fate.

He had tried to avoid this destiny, staying away from any spider-related labs and exhibitions, yet he was still bitten by a mysteriously appearing mutated spider and became Spider-Man.

And it was at that moment, upon becoming Spider-Man, that he discovered the only way to break free from this tragic fate.

Sacrifice himself!

Only by sacrificing himself could the people around him stay safe.

So even though he had barely gotten used to his new powers and knew he was no match for the Green Goblin, he still came.

He didn’t say goodbye to Uncle Ben or Aunt May, nor did he try to convince Harry to stop his father.

Because he knew that every struggle might make things worse.

His “sacrifice” was already inevitable.

Only by doing this could he gain the power to protect those he cared about.

As his thoughts wandered, fire blazed through the night sky.

Xia Luo looked up to see the Green Goblin speeding towards him on his glider.

Boom~

Soon, the Green Goblin, wearing his green armored suit, hovered in the air, his evil golden eyes sizing up Xia Luo.

Harry’s good friend, they had met many times.

Norman had always liked this smart and well-behaved young man. He had even thought, if Xia Luo were his son, how lucky that would be.

But there was one thing about him that always gave Norman a headache.

“Hey, Xia Luo, good to see you. I need your help.”

His tone was kind, making no effort to hide his face as he took off the Goblin mask, revealing a face ravaged by illness.

Seeing that Norman didn’t immediately attack, Xia Luo grinned.

“As expected, it’s you, Uncle Norman. Is that your battle armor? It’s really cool. Though the design isn’t perfect, it’s simple yet personalized, and the glider’s air control is amazing—it’s very Goblin-like. But the armor’s polish is a bit off. How about this, you take it off and let me give it a good buff for you?”

“You really don’t have to talk.” Norman’s forehead veins bulged, clearly irritated by Xia Luo’s endless chatter.

Apart from Harry, not many people could tolerate this guy.

Seeing this, Xia Luo spread his hands and smiled, “Alright, actually, I was going to say your armor doesn’t look as good as my suit.”

At those words, Norman’s expression faltered for a moment before he suddenly sneered, tossing a pumpkin bomb behind him.

Boom!!

The pumpkin bomb exploded, and Xia Luo’s body instantly turned into charred bones in the light, before being blown to dust by the shockwave.

Below the antenna tower, the torn red-and-blue suit was carried away by the high winds into the night, as if marking the end of Spider-Man’s tragic fate.

“Yes, your suit looked great—so great that it’s dead now.”

Norman revealed a triumphant smile, but then clutched his head in a fit of madness, regretting his impulsive action.

“Oh God, what have I done? Poor Xia Luo, I should have talked to you first.”

The next moment, the regret on his face twisted into a sinister grin. Donning the Goblin mask once again, Norman flew off into the night.

“I am the most terrifying Goblin. I’ve never needed anyone’s help, hahaha…”

His maniacal laughter echoed in the night sky, his dual personalities switching back and forth, sending shivers down the spine.

Stars twinkled, and a massive spider web spanned across the universe.

Hanging upside down on one of its threads, Xia Luo opened his eyes. He moved his hands and checked his unharmed body once more.

Recalling the earlier scene, Xia Luo folded his arms, a bit exasperated.

The pumpkin bomb’s power had exceeded his expectations, and he himself was pitifully weak.

He couldn’t win, no way he could.

Fortunately, at the moment he became Spider-Man, his golden finger also arrived.

[Congratulations, you’ve received an invitation to the Resurrection Match!]

[Would you like to participate in the Resurrection Match?]

[Yes] [No]

The system message appeared before him. Xia Luo put on his Spider mask and clicked “Yes” without hesitation.

The Resurrection Match, as the name implies, is a match you must win in order to resurrect.

But that wasn’t his real golden finger.

His true cheat ability was—

[Ding! You’ve entered the Resurrection Match.]

As his thoughts wandered, Xia Luo’s body was devoured by the void. The next moment, he appeared in New York under the night sky.

[Scene: The Amazing Spider-Man Universe]

[Mission: Go to the clock tower and save Gwen Stacy, who is falling.]

[Reward 1: Resurrection quota x1]

[Reward 2: Strength +10 tons]

[Participants: Peter Parker, 10 Chitauri Soldiers, Tony Stark, Xia Luo Parker]

[Countdown: Thirty seconds]

In the night, a red-and-blue shadow swung through the air, landing on the glass exterior of a tall building.

The glass reflected the information about the Resurrection Match, as well as the plot of “The Death of Gwen” from the movie.

In this multiverse, there was another Spider-Man, Peter Parker.

After defeating Electro, Peter Parker witnessed his friend Harry, who had become the Green Goblin, capture Gwen Stacy as a hostage to vent his anger at Peter for not saving him.

In the clock tower battle, Gwen fell from the tower, and Peter Parker couldn’t save the love of his life.

His prized Spider-Sense captured every moment of her death.
