[Western Crossover] Becoming an Overpowered Hero in Metropolis

[The three-year deadline is up! Today, we'll start laying the foundation for our perfect career by taking over Metropolis!] The System, also known as the Dragon-Ao-Tian System, declared grandly.

As Lambert plummeted in a panicked Sky Drop, he thought, No, wait, put the tough talk on hold and come save me first!!

The Dragon-Ao-Tian System kept going on and on, completely ignoring whether its Host lived or died. Being bound to it in this lifetime was surely a blessing.

[As the Host of my Dragon-Ao-Tian System, you don't even have this much courage? I'm ashamed of you.] The System had actually prepared a one-use protective shield for its Host, but it firmly believed that only a Host who had experienced life and death could become a qualified Dragon-Ao-Tian.

So the Host could just fly without a care. He wouldn't actually fall to his death. At worst, he'd just get a scare.

Superman, who was helping a cat down from a tree, naturally didn't miss the serene figure plummeting from the sky.

"Don't be afraid. You're safe now," Superman said to the young man.

[Host, hurry and accept him!! This is obviously a Pokemon delivered right to your door from the start. As expected, even aliens are deeply drawn to my kingly aura.] The System tossed its head smugly.

With its help, the Host would capture Metropolis, take over New York and Gotham, and rule the world in no time.

"Stop laughing. Don't act like a villain. How can a person be a Pokemon?" Lambert objected to the System's grand plans.

[He's an alien. Aliens don't have human rights.] The System had another brilliant idea.

[How about this? Punch him once, and I'll give you a max-level starter pack. It's the Creator Godhead I snatched when I was playing a Western fantasy game before. What do you think? Tempted?]

"System, get out here! What kind of Creator God creates things by drawing?!" After suffering a humiliating social death, Lambert had genuinely thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of life.

Instead, he got a dog with four uneven legs and a dragon with no claws, so abstract-looking it could guest-star as the Slender Man.

Could this world please be a little nicer to him?

Lately, Superman kept running into all kinds of bizarre creatures that made him question his life. Could things like this really exist on Earth?
