Basil had only ever seen the Harry Potter movies, but he found himself dropped into a version of the wizarding world that played strictly by the rules of the books.
He had to deal with the greasy, grim, and terrifying Snape; the calm and composed Dumbledore; Hermione, the teacher's pet who loves to snitch; Ron, who actually has a brain in this version; the empathetic Harry; and the arrogant, passive-aggressive Draco.
But the biggest surprise? The video game he was playing right before he transmigrated has become his own personal System—his ace in the hole.
To recover the game's missing "components," he starts hopping between different dimensions during his free time at school.
In The School for Good and Evil, he acquires the "Club Component" to link worlds and achieve immortality.
He visits American Horror Story: Coven, a world of witches where Heaven and Hell hide in the shadows.
He takes on the melodramatic, sparkly vampires of Twilight.
He travels to the world of Madö King Granzört to meet the magical, long-eared race living on the moon.
He even turns a realm of ancient warriors and legends upside down with a "Magic Library" component.
As he connects these worlds one by one, he pushes open the door to a new dimension and finds... the cinematic Harry Potter universe.
Now, acting as a god behind the curtain, he orchestrates the collision of the Movie timeline and the Book timeline, showing them the infinite possibilities of the multiverse.
(Oh, and he totally wrecks the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a "Dueling Arena" component.)
