Night.
An old rusted RV rumbled down a forest road, heading toward a campsite.
Inside the vehicle sat a sturdy old man in a floral shirt, his white hair glinting under the dashboard light. Despite his age, his eyes were sharp and full of energy.
At the small dining table, a brown-haired boy and a red-haired girl were bickering as usual, their voices echoing inside the RV.
Sitting opposite them was someone who seemed completely out of place — an older-looking boy with black hair and calm eyes.
Resting his chin on his hand, he gazed out the window, lost in thought as the forest blurred by.
That boy was Aiden.
A traveler from another world.
By a twist of fate, he had found himself here — in the world of Ben 10.
He had grown up without parents, relying on welfare and occasional help from distant relatives just to get by.
The one who had helped him the most was a kind old man named Grandpa Max.
When Aiden first heard that name, he thought it was just a coincidence.
But when summer came, and Grandpa Max invited him on a road trip with two kids named Ben and Gwen Tennyson, the truth hit him like lightning.
This wasn't just any world.
This was the Ben 10 universe!
A world full of alien threats, mutant creatures, and insane scientists.
Sure, in the show Ben always managed to escape danger, but that was just an animated story.
Here, in reality—anything could happen.
If something went wrong, people could really die.
And Aiden? He was just a ten-year-old boy.
If he wanted to survive, there was only one option: obtain the Omnitrix.
Forget about mechanical enhancements or genetic upgrades—none of that was possible for him.
Ding!
A clear, mechanical chime suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Sign-In System initializing host recognition… Confirmed. Loading successful."
"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the Sign-In System!"
Aiden froze for a moment. Then excitement surged through his chest.
A system?!
The kind of heaven-defying power-up that only existed in web novels?
Had his cheat ability finally awakened?!
"System," he said in his mind quickly, "what functions do you have? Can I sign in every day? Or do I get a monthly gift package?"
The voice replied immediately:
"Host, this system automatically detects sign-in targets nearby. Once a target is found, you'll be prompted. Complete the sign-in to receive a reward!"
"Reward quality is ranked as follows: Gold, Purple, Blue, Green, and White — from highest to lowest."
Before Aiden could even react, his eyes landed on Ben.
Ding!
"Sign-in target detected: Ben Tennyson."
"Approach him and pat his shoulder once to complete the sign-in."
Above Ben's head, a faint golden glow shimmered — only visible to Aiden.
A gold-tier sign-in target?!
Without hesitation, Aiden walked over and gently patted Ben's shoulder.
Ben blinked in confusion. "Uh, what's up, Aiden?"
"Nothing, Ben. There was a fly on your shoulder, so I helped you get rid of it," Aiden said with a kind smile.
Ding!
"Sign-in successful!"
"Reward acquired: Gold-tier — Omnitrix's exact coordinates and 100% guaranteed binding to Host Aiden!"
Aiden's eyes widened.
The Omnitrix's coordinates… and full binding?!
It felt like winning the universe's biggest lottery.
The most powerful weapon in existence was about to recognize him as its master!
"System, display the coordinates!"
In front of his eyes appeared a holographic cosmic map, zooming in on Earth.
A fiery object — like a meteor — was hurtling toward the forest near their campsite.
The Omnitrix was on its way.
Aiden grinned.
"All right then… I'll just wait until we reach the campsite."
By the time night fully fell, Grandpa Max's RV rolled to a stop at their destination.
As soon as the vehicle parked, Aiden jumped up. "Grandpa, I'm gonna go for a quick jog in the woods! I'll be right back!"
Grandpa Max turned from the steering wheel. "Don't go too far, Aiden! Watch your step and stay close to camp!"
"Got it!" Aiden called back, already sprinting into the forest.
Branches cracked underfoot as he ran through the dark woods, guided by the glowing indicator in his vision.
A moment later, a burst of red light flashed in the sky ahead.
Aiden looked up—
A meteor was descending fast, blazing across the night sky!
"That's it!" he gasped. "The Omnitrix!"
BOOM!
The fiery object slammed into a clearing, erupting in a blast of light and heat that lit up the entire forest.
Aiden shielded his face from the shockwave, waiting until the flames dimmed. Then, heart pounding, he dashed toward the crater.
Inside the pit lay a small, circular pod — cracked, still smoking.
The hatch hissed open.
And there it was—
a watch glowing with an otherworldly green light, resting quietly inside.
The Omnitrix.
