Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Archmage

He opened the door to the large second-floor bedroom and stepped into Dudley's exclusive room.

What greeted his eyes was a tall and densely-packed bookshelf, clinging tightly to one side wall of the room.

On the bookshelf were not only Muggle books related to psychology, the occult, genetic biology, ancient Latin linguistics, sociology, and boxing, but also encyclopedic and practical wizard books with covers, such as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Theories of Magic, Major Events in Modern Wizard History, Standard Spells, The Complete Book of Potions, and Speculations on the Origins of Wizards.

In addition to the books, there were also Muggle technology items in Dudley's room, such as a refrigerator, a computer, a video camera, and a music box. There was a soft and comfortable big bed, a desk, and numerous lockers and storage boxes, filled with numerous ordinary or special items.

Inside the refrigerator were three packages of Harry's refrigerated blood, and in the large wooden box beside it was a whole box full of Harry's hair.

In the hidden drawer beneath the bedroom's large bed lay a withered severed limb of a Bowtruckle, a feather of an Augurey, several Galleons, and a pigeon-egg-sized raw ruby.

These items were the valuable things Dudley had collected in the eleven years and fourteen days since he was reincarnated into this world.

The sources were legitimate. Everything was in line with the rules and aboveboard... Well, maybe.

The three packages of Harry's blood were intercepted when they went to a Muggle hospital for a physical examination and blood draw in the past ten years. Dudley also had his own blood drawn.

That box of Harry's hair was accumulated from the hair he cut during his hair's crazy growth period. Harry's magical outbursts greatly stimulated his hair. When he was seven or eight years old, his hair would always grow to his waist overnight.

The wizard books and Galleons were obtained through a fair trade with Mr. Diggory, a fan of Harry.

The withered severed limb of the Bowtruckle and the feather of the Augurey were the rewards obtained by the Dudley Gang through helping others.

In this world, in addition to wizards and Muggles, there were also many magical creatures. Although most Muggles were not aware of this, it couldn't change the fact that everyone lived together on the same planet.

Over the long years, there were always some items related to wizards and magical creatures that ended up in the hands of Muggles.

Some items with obvious special features would be searched for and confiscated by members of the Ministry of Magic, but there were always some less conspicuous magical materials that slipped through the net.

The two magical creatures, the Bowtruckle and the Augurey, were distributed in the English region. It was reasonable for the shed and leftover materials from their bodies to end up in the hands of unaware Muggles.

If the current Dudley Gang were not just a domineering kids' group that Dudley developed in Privet Drive, with extremely limited influence and sphere of influence, the magical materials he obtained would most likely be even more and of a higher grade.

As for that valuable raw ruby, it was a birthday gift that Uncle Vernon bought for Dudley at a high price with real money from Africa.

This ruby, which had no magic power but excellent appearance and looked like an alluring candy, would be of great use in his operation three weeks later.

"System, open my personal panel!"

After taking a rough look around his room, Dudley walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, silently sending an instruction with his mind.

A semi-transparent light screen panel immediately appeared in front of his eyes, visible only to him.

[Host: Dudley Dursley]

[Identity: Muggle (Magic Medium, Magic Enhancement)]

[Characteristic: The blood medium that maintains the stable ancient magic - Love Protection (Modified Version of Maternal Love Sacrifice)]

Lives together with Harry Potter, the protected object of this magic, and his blood - related and in - law relatives in the form of a family. It can charge the protective magic on the protected object, enabling the protected object to be immune to and rebound instant - death attacks before reaching adulthood.

During the period when the protective magic is in effect, if someone with murderous intent towards the protected object touches the protected object, they will be passively counterattacked by the protective magic. The counterattack damage received is proportional to the intensity of the murderous intent.

[Extraordinary Ability: [Strength Enhancement] (Transformed and enhanced by the 'Giant Strength Blessing' magic long - term cast by Harry Potter, endowing the host with three times the physical strength of a healthy adult male and the corresponding strength control ability.)]

[Unlocked Regret Events So Far:]

Aunt Petunia Dursley - Rejection from the Wizarding World (Level D), Grief over the 'Freak Sister' (Level B), Complicated and Unspeakable Love (Level D);

Harry Potter - The Dark Childhood of the Savior (Level S), Absence of Parental Love (Level S);

[Details of Regret Events:]

Rejection from the Wizarding World (Level D): As a Muggle, Aunt Petunia Dursley had a sister with magical talents. Due to jealousy of her parents' preference for her sister, she developed the idea of learning magic when she was a child.

Aunt Petunia Dursley wrote to Dumbledore full of hope to seek learning opportunities, but was politely declined by Dumbledore. Since then, the door to the wizarding world has been completely closed to Aunt Petunia Dursley. Perhaps it was never opened for her.

Grief over the 'Freak Sister' (Level B): On the night of October 31, 1981, Harry Potter lost his mother, and Aunt Petunia Dursley lost her sister.

Complicated and Unspeakable Love (Level D): Omitted.

The Dark Childhood of the Savior (Level S): The savior of the wizarding world was raised in his aunt's home, which was full of depression and denial. In the original story line, Uncle Vernon's confinement, Aunt Petunia Dursley's mockery, and Dudley's bullying made Harry Potter's childhood extremely dark.

Absence of Parental Love (Level S): Harry Potter, who lost both his parents since childhood, misses his parents extremely and yearns to experience his father's and mother's love personally.

[Current Magic Item Fusion Opportunities: None]

After browsing through the System panel that he had seen countless times over the years once again, Dudley silently sank into deep thought and recollection.

He was originally a middle - aged man on Blue Star who had experienced the vicissitudes of human relationships. He had no lack of courage and determination, but lacked a bit of luck and died prematurely in an accident.

He thought it was all over. Unexpectedly, he didn't drink the Meng Po Soup (soup of forgetfulness in Chinese mythology) and didn't go through the regular cycle of reincarnation in the underworld. His consciousness directly passed through a pitch - black passage and was reincarnated into this strange yet familiar world, taking the form of Dudley Dursley.

It was strange because he became a foreigner with whom he had little contact in his previous life and left his original country and era. It was familiar because he had read the original works and watched the movies of the Harry Potter series in his previous life. He loved them very much and still remembered them vividly.

As a genuine time - traveler from Blue Star, he of course didn't lack the much - desired golden finger.

That is, by resolving the regretful events in the original story line, one can obtain the opportunity to fuse magic items of corresponding levels and become a Super Archmage by fusing magic items. This is called the System.

Short for: Cheat System!

Dudley's system cheat isn't overpowered, but it's not weak either.

The function is clearly shown in its name.

The stories related to Harry Potter seem like fairy tales, but in fact, they are extremely tragic, filled with numerous great regrets.

As long as Dudley encounters the corresponding characters from the original work, he can unlock the regretful events. These events have either already occurred or are about to occur to the corresponding characters in the original story at the current time.

Normally, the time to unlock the regretful events follows the timeline of the original story.

If the plot has changed because of Dudley, who is like a 'butterfly' from another world, when he encounters the corresponding character from the original work, he can also Unlock Ahead of Schedule the corresponding regretful events.
