Marvel : I'm in Westview Town

---

Westview Town.

The morning sun shone through the thin clouds, casting its warm light on the quiet town.

"According to our station's news, after five years of disappearance, most people are returning to their normal lives..."

The TV in the café broadcasted the news, filling the room with a calm hum of background noise.

"Finn, five years have passed since the Blip happened. How do you feel about it?"

Receptionist Johnsen withdrew his gaze from the screen and looked at the young man sitting at the opposite table.

His light brown hair framed his thoughtful face, one that seemed far too calm for someone who had just experienced such a chaotic world.

"It's... surreal. Five years of change feel like the blink of an eye to me..."

Finn put down his coffee cup after hearing Johnsen's question. He paused for a moment, lost in thought, before responding, "It's just like waking up from a dream."

The second half of his response reflected Finn's true feelings.

Everything truly felt like a dream to him—because he wasn't from this world. He was a traveler.

---

Almost a year ago, Finn had traveled to this universe.

Time travel was already a miracle in itself, but then came the realization that he was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And the timeline had progressed to just after the events of Avengers: Endgame. The chaos of Thanos snapping his fingers and erasing half of all life had finally been resolved.

Those who disappeared five years ago were now back, and somehow, Finn had been dragged into this world during their return.

"You gain five years of hiatus but lose five years of your life. Fair trade?"

Johnsen chuckled, trying to lighten the mood with a bit of humor.

"Maybe it's for the best. See you tomorrow."

Finn took the last sip of his coffee, stood up, and walked out of the café.

Anyway, it had been almost a year since his arrival. Spending the rest of his life in the Marvel universe didn't sound too bad—if he could survive, that is.

Ding! The host successfully hid for eight months. Please continue to work hard!

The mechanical voice of his system interrupted Finn's thoughts.

"Four more months," Finn muttered, rubbing his temples.

As a traveler, Finn had been granted a cheat ability: a system. But unlike systems that allowed their hosts to dominate the world, his was a "Hidden System."

The concept was simple: by hiding his strength and remaining unnoticed, Finn would earn greater rewards over time.

The longer he hid, the stronger the rewards would be. But there was a catch—the minimum time limit for hiding was one year.

If he got exposed during this period, all his efforts would be wasted.

The system also imposed restrictions on his movements. Finn was confined to Westview Town and its surrounding areas.

If he left the area for more than a week, it would be considered a failure.

And, of course, this town wasn't just any ordinary town.

Westview Town.

The town controlled by Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision.

When Finn first heard this from the news, he cursed the system and its creator. Hiding in Westview Town felt like being thrown into the lion's den while blindfolded.

He didn't want to be one of Wanda's puppets. Those under her control lived in constant agony, their minds warped and their lives drained by the effects of Chaos Magic.

Fortunately, the system had granted Finn a novice reward for self-defense:

[Ability]: Creation Magic

[Grade]: S+

[Description]: Creation Magic allows the user to create anything they desire. At its peak, it can even manifest entire utopias that align with everyone's ideals.

At the current level, Finn's Creation Magic wasn't fully developed. It was strong, but not invincible.

Still, it gave him a fighting chance.

With his abilities, he could go toe-to-toe with Wanda. But defeating her quietly without drawing attention? That was impossible.

And any exposure meant the failure of his mission.

He had to be patient.

According to the timeline, Wanda was still grieving over Vision's death.

Her emotional turmoil would eventually lead her to Westview Town, the place where Vision had planned to build a home for them.

The house hadn't been completed—it was nothing more than an empty plot of land.

Finn decided to wait.

He couldn't risk using psychic magic to find her. Wanda's mastery of Chaos Magic meant she'd sense any attempt at invading her mind. That would only spell disaster.

By the time Finn arrived at his apartment complex, the sun had climbed higher into the sky.

Westview Town was a lot bigger than most small towns. It was practically a small city, complete with modern amenities.

Finn walked up the stairs and ran into one of his tenants, Josh—a lanky young man with a nervous energy about him.

Josh waved a small backpack in Finn's direction. "Hey, Finn! I'll have the rent ready later today. Just need to hit the bank real quick."

"Sure, but don't take too long."

After all, collecting rent was the only thing Finn had to do while lying low. He owned the apartment building—an inheritance he couldn't explain but didn't question.

Back in his apartment on the top floor, Finn collapsed onto his sofa and opened his phone to scroll through the news.

---

"The events of Spider-Man: Far From Home haven't started yet?"

Finn couldn't find any news about Peter Parker or the infamous Night Monkey suit. That meant the timeline hadn't reached Spider-Man: Far From Home yet.

According to the events of the MCU, Peter's trip to Venice and his encounter with Mysterio would happen about eight or nine months after Endgame.

"Looks like we're getting close to the 'three Spider-Men in one frame' moment," Finn mused, taking a sip of his Coke.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door.

Finn glanced at his watch. Only ten minutes had passed since Josh left.

"Josh? Back so soon?"

But something about the knock felt… different. Light. Hesitant.

"Wait a sec, I'm coming!" Finn called out as he walked toward the door.

When he opened it, he froze.

Standing there was a stunning woman with long, dark hair cascading over her shoulders.

She wore a red coat, and her clear eyes reflected deep melancholy. Her fair skin seemed almost ethereal, and her lips—rosy and delicate—formed a gentle smile.

"Hi," she said softly. "I'm Wanda Maximoff. Is there any room available?"

Finn stared at her, unable to form a response.

Wanda tilted her head slightly, her expression curious yet weary. "Hello? Is something wrong?"

Finn blinked, snapping himself out of his daze.

"N-No, not at all. Please, come in."

And so, the wheels of fate began to turn in Westview Town.
