*All systems operational," the AI reported. "Suit is ready for field deployment. Web shooter fluid reserves at maximum capacity. Sensor calibration complete."
"Good. Store it in the secure locker. I won't need it until after the Oscorp Trip."
"Understood. Peter, I must point out that you're planning to be bitten by a genetically modified spider. This carries significant risk."
"I know. But I've studied Oscorp's research extensively. I know which spider will bite me. I know the genetic modifications it carries. I've analyzed how my unique genetics will interact with the venom."
"Your projections show 94.7% chance of positive outcome. But that leaves 5.3% chance of severe complications."
"I'll take those odds. Especially since I'll have you monitoring my vitals throughout the transformation. Any sign of problems and I'll enter the dimension for emergency medical treatment."
"As you wish."
Peter checked his final stats.
[Current Status: September 20th
Age: 16 years, 1 month, 17 days
Physique: 9.8/10
Mind: 12.1/10
Spirit: 8.2/10
Peak Human Threshold: Originally estimated 5.0, revised to 10.0
Current Status: 98% of absolute peak of body's capability
Estimated Peak Achievement: 3-4 more days]
So close. Almost there. Just a few more days of training and he'd hit the true limit. 10.0 Physique. The absolute maximum possible without enhancement.
Then the spider bite would push him beyond his limits entirely.
He had basically achieve twice the stats of a peak human at this point.
Peter entered his training area. Began his final sessions.

*September 24th. Day Before Oscorp Field Trip.*
Peter had achieved it.
[Status Update: September 24th, 11:47 PM
Physique: 10.0/10
ABSOLUTE PEAK BODY CAPABILITY ACHIEVED]
He stood in his dimensional gym. Sweat covering his body. Breathing controlled and even.
He'd just completed a workout that would hospitalize most professional athletes. But he felt fine. Strong. Ready.
Bench press: 600 pounds. Mile time: 3 minutes 12 seconds. Vertical jump: 52 inches. Reaction time: 90 milliseconds.
He could fight for hours without tiring. Could take hits that would break normal people. Could move with speed and precision that are baseline superhuman.
Because it was superhuman by normal standards. He'd trained past what anyone thought possible. Used his unique genetics and thousands of subjective hours to become something beyond the natural limit.
"Congratulations," FSIS said. "You have achieved peak human capability across all physical parameters. No ordinary human in recorded history has matched your current combined statistics."
"Good," Peter said. "Because tomorrow, I become something more than human."
He showered. Changed clothes. Left the dimension.
In his real bedroom, he checked the time. 11:48 PM. One second had passed.
Tomorrow was September 25th. The Oscorp field trip. His origin day.
Peter lay in bed. Stared at the ceiling. Thought about everything that was about to change.
'I'm ready,' he told himself. 'Physically. Mentally. Spiritually. I've prepared for years. I know what's coming. I know how to handle it.'
'Tomorrow, Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man. But not the Spider-Man from the comics. Something better. Something more prepared.'
'Something the world will need when Thanos comes.'
He closed his eyes. Set his alarm for 6 AM.
Tomorrow would change everything.

*September 25th. Morning.*
Peter woke before his alarm. 5:30 AM. Body clock precise.
He went through his morning routine calmly. Shower. Breakfast. Normal activities. Because today needed to appear normal.
Uncle Ben was already up. Coffee brewing.
"Big day," Ben said. "Field trip to Oscorp."
"Should be interesting," Peter replied. "Their genetic research is cutting edge."
"Just be careful. From what I've read, they work with some dangerous stuff."
"I'm always careful, Uncle Ben."
Ben studied him. "You've changed a lot this past year, Peter. Grown up. Become someone impressive. I'm proud of you."
"Thanks. That means a lot."
"But remember, no matter how smart you get or how successful you become, you're still accountable for your choices. With great power comes great responsibility."
"I know. I won't forget."
They finished breakfast together. Normal family moment. Peter treasured it.
At 7:45 AM, Peter left for school. Wore normal clothes. Carried a normal backpack. Looked like a normal student.
But inside, his enhanced mind was running calculations. Probabilities. Scenarios.
'This is it,' he thought. 'No turning back after today.'
He arrived at Midtown High. Students were gathering for the field trip. Buses waiting. Teachers checking attendance.
MJ found him first. "Hey. You okay? You look tense."
"Just thinking about the research we'll see today."
"Always working, even on field trips." She smiled. "That's very you."
Gwen approached next. "I'm excited about this. Oscorp's genetic lab is supposed to be incredible. We might actually learn something useful."
"Definitely," Peter agreed.
Felicia appeared last. "Field trip day. How thrilling. We get to watch scientists in lab coats explain things we could learn faster from textbooks."
"You're not excited?" Peter asked.
"I'm excited to spend the day watching you," Felicia said with a slight smile. "You're much more interesting than genetics."
Flash and Harry joined the group. Teachers started calling for students to board buses.
Peter climbed onto bus two. Found a seat by the window. Looked out at the city passing by.
'In a few hours, everything changes,' he thought. 'Spider-Man is born today.'
'But not randomly. Not accidentally. With full knowledge. Full preparation.'
'This is my origin story. And I'm writing it my way.'
The bus pulled out of the school parking lot. Headed toward Oscorp Tower in Manhattan.
Peter's journey toward becoming Spider-Man had officially begun.
