Part 1: The Quirk That Changes Everything
[Interface]
Quirks are separated into five separate tiers determined by their capabilities. Transient Class Quirks are what most the population have, abilities incapable of doing much of anything useful. Typically, either changing the appearance of a person or giving them a mundane ability such being able to remove the eyes.
In this world of heroes and villains there exists... a precarious balance of power. No matter what heroes say or how they act, the villains haven't gone anywhere. It's rarely ever mentioned on television or on the radio these days. More than likely because it reminds people that the brighter that heroes shine, the more defined the shadows that villains inhabit shall be. It inspires a fear in their hearts that cannot be shaken loose.
A simple misstep would be all that it would take to warp the arc of all our stories. While that may be true, fear was the last thing on my mind, there were far too many mysteries that remained unraveled to die now. Part of the thrill was this unwavering uncertainty in a world ready to flip at a moment's notice. The heroes bathed in sunlight and villains who were cloaked in darkness.
In a world filled to the brim with people with supernatural abilities, wouldn't it be great to live life as though it were all a game? If you asked me such a question, I'd have to agree with you wholeheartedly. The day my Quirk manifested was the day that my eyes were opened to the bitterest of truths. In this world, all men are not born equal. Some people are just born with greater power than others, and I was one of them.
[00:00:00:36]
The indicator was flashed urgently before my face as I sprinted down the sidewalk. Letting me know that time was nearly up on my current quest. I click my teeth, just a bit haughty with arrogance. I stop just short the opposite street and couch down low to the ground for a moment. The ground shakes and my body glows a vibrant green for a moment before I fly high up into the air.
After the extended leap into the sky I touch down on top of a building across from Tatooin Station. I skid to a halt at the edge of the roof, finally getting eyes on the villain in question. He chooses that moment to roar into the air in an act defiance. All he had to his name was a run-of-the-mill gigantification Quirk but it was impressive all the same. I run my hands through my messy hair with a wide grin.
"Level 36 huh. I'm so jealous."

I reach into my inventory and pull out of a pair of binoculars. My shoes scrap against the asphalt roof as I take a load off with a sigh. I then lazily dangle my legs off the side of the building. My cellphone buzzes in my pocket just as the show was about to start. I kick back to relax and pull the phone out of my pocket. The screen is pitch black for a moment before a sequence of words flash across the screen in green.
[Quest Completed]
The crowd of onlookers below murmur in excitement as the first pro hero arrives on the scene. Kamui Woods wastes no time climbing to the top of the railway and fluidly dodges the villain's attacks. He lands and swiftly climbs up the offending limb and ends his aerial acrobatics with front somersault. At the end of his jump he latches onto the back of the villain's neck.
"You are under arrest for assault, robbery and illegal use of your powers during rush hour traffic. Any further resistance will be met with swift punishment!"

Profile: Despite only recently becoming a full-fledged pro he's been in the hero business quite a while! His career has only really just begun with the completion of his own agency!
The villain ignores his warning and reaches back to get a hold of him anyway. Kamui narrows his eyes leaps straight up into the air above the villain and juts out his right arm. Several different branches extend from it as he prepared the flashiest move in his arsenal. The villain immediately shields his eyes and takes a step back before it even began.
"Preemptive Binding Lacquer Chain Prison!"
The branches from his arm extend out at a blinding speed and entrap the villain in mere seconds. The crowd roars in excitement as Kamui takes the villain into custody without breaking a sweat. It really was impressive, I think I enjoy his particular fighting style.
I replace the binoculars in my inventory with a sigh as my phone buzzes again. I sneer at the screen, having easily forgotten I needed to be at school within the hour. How time always seemed to fly. With the situation resolved and the experience collected, there was no reason to stick around. I take the straight drop down from the building and approach the rear the crowd for a quick picture.
Police and reporters alike surround Kamui for pictures and he waves in a reserved manner. Among all the flashes and shutters he notices one of the people take pictures isn't like the others. Before he can get a good look they seemed to disappear before his eyes.
Part 2: United Front
[An alliance of groups against their common enemies...]
I shuffle into class right on time as always, brushing past students I've been with for three years now. Their names and faces didn't matter to me, but not much did anymore. The sounds of their voices and laughter, so carefree was grating to my ears.
Their voices finally soften to silence as our teacher clears his throat.
"So, as third year students it's time to start thinking seriously about your futures and what you want to do with your lives. I could pass out some career aptitude tests but, why bother?"
He shrugs as if the alternative was obvious and every student began flashing their Quirks. I wonder what went on inside his head, I really did.
At first glance he was an insufferable man with hopes too high for his own good. But it was a façade to cover up his own irrational glee. Every person in our class had a Quirk, but almost all of them were useless. None of them would ever be serious heroes and he knew it. He knew it very well.
The class quiets down yet again as another student lounging in his seat speaks up. His ashen hair shifts ever so slightly as if nothing was more assured than his own words.
"Sensei, don't put me into the same category as these rejects. We're as far apart as the heavens and the earth. Most will be lucky to be a sidekick to some nobody."

Quirk Classification: Emitter
Quirk: Explosion – Allows the user to secrete a nitroglycerin like substance from their palms and ignite it create various explosions. The user has a threshold of resistance to the shockwaves produced by their explosions but not the explosions themselves. The Quirk is weakened and vulnerable in cold temperatures. On the flipside, it works much more effectively in warmer temperatures.
Status: [Normal]
Emotions: Passion. Confidence. Satisfaction.
Profile: A perfect example of two very specific Quirks combining to form a powerful new offensive one. It was either luck or fate that Katsuki was born with the Quirk he has, up to the observer to decide.
Not that he wasn't correct, in fact he it could be mistaken as trying to show them reality as it was. In the past before our Quirks had manifested it wouldn't have been inappropriate to have called us friends. From the moment ours Quirks appeared we had silently agreed that our destinies had simply diverged. We would walk very different paths in life. As arguments break out over his inflammatory remark I lower my head to my desk, tuning them out to background noise.
Every day without fail I receive a quest to make it to school on time. The quest content never mattered to me, what mattered was the experience. So, most days I transfer to the subway and head here like I'm supposed to.
Like I'm supposed to...
What a joke...
The rather distinct noisy din of the city is disturbed as an explosion blows out a storefront. An unarmed security guard follows the blast, slamming up against a concrete wall before slumping over. The villain that emerges from the now burning credit union grunts in irritation, two duffel bags slung over his shoulders. Despite his clothes his entire body seemed to be composed of a green viscous fluid.
"Wannabe heroes are such a pain."
In the distance, he could already hear police sirens racing in his direction. People on the street stunned by the explosion take on look at him and turn tail and run. He saunters further towards the street another security guard rushes him from behind, baton in hand. The villain doesn't even turn to face him and merely backhands him. The force of the blow sends the security guard skidding down the sidewalk.
He stops at the curb of the street and a car screeches to a halt just in front of him. All the doors open at once accept for the drivers, who instead rolls the window down. The villain tosses the duffle bags onto the ground at the criminals who left the vehicle shove them into the car. The driver who wore a high collared sweater and black shades hands the villain a brown bag.
"You always make a mess Lahar. You know that makes it hard on the cleaners."
Lahar takes the bag without question, smirking but amused by their comment. His left hand now freed up changes shape to that of an arrow which he points at the burning building.
"I may play with my food a bit, but I always deliver, don't I?"
The driver completely ignores his boasting and gestures to the burning building with their head.
"Did you find anything?"
Lahar nods and turns away from the car before stretching his free limb back into the building and dragging a metallic crate out. The driver of the car lifts her shades for a moment, revealing magenta eyes for a moment before lowering them.
"Only thing in the building I couldn't open. The locking mechanism is attached to a retina scanner."
"Alright, hand it over and get "lost" quickly."
Lahar laughs to himself as he helps load the metal crate into the back of the car. A police car rounds the corner as he closes the hatch on the vehicle. Several more follow close behind it and the driver puts pedal to the medal seconds after.
The police leave their cars and suddenly dozens of weapons are trained on him. As the car that assisted the crime rounds the bend he turns to face the authorities.
"Hands in the air and lay on the ground villain!"
Lahar slowly raises his hands above his head as ordered. The police officer speaking slowly lowers the megaphone as the villain seemed to grow much larger and less humanoid. His smile becoming even more twisted than before. The police officers begin shaking with fear as he drawn into the depths of his red eyes.
"God's help us..."
Part 3: Achievements
[Arbitrary challenges used to extend a games longevity...]
By the time school was over at least half my brain had turned to mush. There was simply very little any teacher at this school could teach me about anything. I had a knack for absorbing all the information laid before me. I grab the sides of my desk and stand with a sigh intending to depart from school right this very moment.
"Izuku."
I straighten my spine all the way at the sound of my own name. I slip my phone back into my pocket and sling my bag over my shoulder before turning to look at him.
"What's up Bakugo?"
"It's Katsuki, don't act like were strangers."
"Acquaintances at best."
Katsuki was quickly becoming annoyed, his presence spreading throughout the room. Even his weaker cronies were beginning to feel afraid. He narrows his eyes but makes no explicit movements, standing before the only one in the room who didn't fear him at all. The only worthy one in his eyes.
"I want to talk."
"I have things to do, places to be, people to see. You understand, right?"
I brush past him without breaking tone, heading towards the door to the classroom. I get several steps before he turns to face my back once again, his presence growing larger.
"Then I'm coming to."
Our classmates, his cronies take the opportunity to speak their minds. Unlike Bakugo I never made it my prerogative to explain my Quirk to anyone at all. So I was just another student with a Quirk who didn't feel like showing off. Who needed fans and admiration anyway?
"Come on man, he's not interested... if he's too good for you then he's not worth anything anyway."
I pause at the threshold of the doorway and turn my shoulders ever so slightly. Looking back at the boy who had spoken, my time limit was already expired. My Quirk reactivates and my eyes glow a ghastly green. My cold gaze causes him to freeze in fear, I had no need of words to threaten others around me.
"You can tag along if you want, free country."
Katsuki exceeded what I believed to be his personal limits. Following closely behind me as we traversed the rooftops of our city. I stop on the edge of the next building overlooking a busy intersection. Katsuki times his next explosion to stop just behind me. I reach into my inventory and pull out my binoculars.
"What the hell are we even doing, Izuku?"
"Achievement hunting of course."
Katsuki who had also been looking towards the street stops at my odd answer. His trademark grimacing face becomes twisted in confusion and he clenches his fist.
"What the fuck does that even mean? You talking about some videogame? This isn't some game."
"Life is a game. The difficulty is set to extreme and the settings are locked. The only option is to adapt."
He takes a deep breath, believe me to be speaking figuratively instead of literally. The funny part was I wasn't kidding, my setting had a gameplay tag and the difficulty rating was extreme and unchangeable. At least for now, I wouldn't give up hope just yet. There had to be further parameters just out of reach.
"So what are you hoping to see?"
"Rare mutant Quirks. I'd like to see some up close and get a couple pictures."
Without even turning to look at him I could tell he was giving me a weird look. Whether he was embarrassed or judging mean meant very little to me at this moment in time. I was on a mission.
"Most mutant Quirks are harmless and serve no other purpose than changing appearance. Some people might rudely call such Quirks fetish bait, and they are only half right."
"Wait you don't mean...? Midoriya!"
He reaches out to stop me as I drop down to the sidewalk below. I ignore his voice and replace the binoculars and replace them with my most expensive camera. I flow with the crowd quite easily with Katsuki desperately on my tail.
Katsuki is in such a rush that he collides with me after I'd already come to a stop. The strap around my neck holding the camera bouncing against my chest lightly. It was embarrassment on his part. Until moments ago he hadn't known it would end up like this.
The girl I stopped in front of looked surprised but not fearful considering my harmless appearance. Her pointed ears and delicate strands of white hair gave away her rare elven Quirk. There was an undeniable beauty about her, but mutant Quirks like these guaranteed such physical attributes. Looks that wouldn't fade with age made her "special".

"Hi there, my names Izuku Midoriya and this is my fried Katsuki Bakugo. He saw your Quirk from afar and thought you looked beautiful. After getting closer I must agree. I wanted to ask if you would you mind if I took your picture?"
Katsuki behind me was deathly silent, his face growing redder the longer this went on. He didn't even have the resources to spew profanity or defend himself. In fact, it looked like his embarrassment was ensuring this would go correctly. I would exploit his presence to the max.
"Well thank you... Midoriya and Bakugo? I appreciate the compliment; you can take my picture if you like!"
I flash her a wide smile and bring the camera up to eye level. I adjust the shutter and snap off a few pictures. Up above my head I get a notification which becomes a grand display.
[Achievement: Elven Guard]
"We do appreciate this miss, please have a prosperous day."
I bow to show my thanks and pat Katsuki lightly, his face smoldering. As she moves to go about her way we pass in the opposite direction. I was ignoring Katsuki at this moment, counting the experience I was getting for the achievement.
We ended up walking a block before I turned to look back at the tagalong. I was stupefied by his expression for several moments before bursting out into laughter.
"Kacchan your face is so red, wait, was she your type? I had no idea know you even had a type! You should have said something; you're going to be famous someday after all... right?"
Part 4: (No) Desire?
We left the inner-city not long after that with another achievement completed. Katsuki had been brooding the whole way, something that was almost out of character for him. I was waiting on his fiery outburst to finally manifest itself.
"Izuku, help me understand, how... how did you..."
I stop just outside the tunnel and turn back to him with an inquiring grunt. He also stops, the scowl returning to his face as if it been a long time coming.
"Stop and think logically Katsuki. I only needed one thing from that girl and it was neither her conversation nor her number. I only needed her photograph, to complete that task I used all my accumulated resources effectively. Both my plain face and short stature make approaching a piece of cake. A compliment from me means jack shit but this time I had you there and you weren't scowling. The fact that you didn't speak also helped quite a bit, implying that the picture was for you and not me. See where I'm going with this?"
"So you're saying that the pleasantness and lack of resistance was for me? Whatever, that doesn't even matter to me. You do care about some things and have a powerful Quirk to boot. So why aren't you interested in being a hero?"
Katsuki looked like he expected me to respond with anger, but quite frankly there was nothing to get angry about with a valid question. It had a simple answer.
"Don't you know, Bakugo, in this world it's dangerous to pick a side."
"You're a smart kid, that brain must be chock-full of knowledge, isn't it? Let's talk politics kid. I want your humble opinion about something."
[Warning! Danger Detected]
[An Ominous Threat Has Been Detected]
It took a moment to register that something had tripped my danger detection. I look over my shoulder slowly as a literal tower of green fluid loomed over me, it even had a face. My eye twitches at how fast it must have approached to be this close already. The villain is on me in the next moment, encasing my body completely. Katsuki was a fraction of a second to slow, his explosion striking the villain.
"Izuku!"
"You're in the way. Get lost."
A hand shaped protrusion of fluid connects with Katsuki's stomach before he can even blink, sending him careening back down the street. Now that I was inside the villain, I forced my eyes open. Already planning how this fight would need to proceed to live. First I needed his stats to see if winning was even possible.

Quirk Classification: Emitter
Quirk: Liquefaction – The user can give solid matter liquid properties by making physical contact with all five fingers. If the same process is done a second time, the liquefied matter will be returned to its solid state. When this Quirk is used on his own body he can become living fluid material and maintain his secret identity at the same time. It can also be used to take over the body of another person and use their Quirk or even assume their identity. The fluid form is immune to physical and elemental attacks beyond a certain threshold.
Status: [Impervious]
Emotions: Greed. Excitement.
Profile: A member of the League of Villains specifically in the Deus Ex Machina faction. He possesses a rather unique Quirk that makes him a perfect soldier to fight heroes.
Another box appears on my right, a new quest just for this occasion.
Team up with Katsuki Bakugo and defeat the villain!
Success: Life
Failure: Death
Accept! ... Dammit why won't the skill activate?
[Repugnant Touch]
Activates when in physical contact with someone or something intending to cause physical or mental harm. Delivers an electrical shock to the one touching determined by just how much they intended to harm you. Regardless the intensity will increase over time if the contact remains.
Well it didn't matter because it would automatically activate in a moment if I didn't get any air. As if a switch had been switched, an arc of electricity spreads across my body as my lungs screamed for air. Lahar chuckles, amused by the rather mundane energy attack. His elemental resistance suddenly begins to fail as the energy ratchets up, causing his eyes to widen.
"The hell!?"
The electricity pours from my body feverishly now, arc to the surrounding tunnel and bypassing his elemental immunity. He lets me go in the next instant and I gasp in a mouthful of air. None of the attacks we had initiated had done more than one damage to this monster of a villain but that was all about to change now. I immediately lower myself to the ground, wheezing but defiantly eyeing the villain who tracks my movements.
"Kacchan, try it again."
[Transference]
Take a 30% hit to overall stats and give double that power to another person for a limited time! After a short moment, the two powers will combine rather explosively! Useful for misdirection and a major tactical advantage.
Katsuki leaps over my nearly prone form, his entire body glowing a familiar eerie green. Lahar has no time to react as his second opponent easily breaches his defenses. With his left hand, he grabs the back of my shirt and pulls me out of harm's way while his right sparks dangerously. Ours power mixes shortly as he swings into the villain.
"Die, sewage fuck!"
The explosion blows back the villain and completely fills the tunnel. Smoke and debris fill the air and Katsuki looks at his smoking hand in awe. I study the damage done with calculating eyes, the skill and our combined power was marvelous.
This power... no... Izuku's power... it's amazing.
It's good but just not good enough. Even with the overall stat increase, Katsuki is just barely clipping the threshold of his elemental immunity. He could break the fluids bonds but failed to do much damage. I hadn't done enough testing with this skill to be assured of anything. I don't think it would be enough for us to win.
An elongate arm darts out from the cloud and grips Katsuki by the wrist. He remains calm despite the situation, blowing the limb apart with his enhanced explosions.
"Hah! I can barely feel it kid, how long can you keep that up?"
All right then, Dialogue Mode.
It was another faucet of my Quirk built around conversation. It presents you with different options to say and could reveal information even I didn't know beforehand.
|-|We surrender! Just don't kill us|-|
|-|Is this all the power you have, having trouble with middle school students?|-|
|-|It's true we aren't strong enough to defeat you, but it will take too long to ensnare up both. He will catch up to you long before then.|-|
The third option seemed best, revealing a tidbit I had no knowledge of. This villain was escaping the clutches of someone and had stopped here to try capturing us. There was a chance he would stop if he was reminded of this. It was our only hope really.
"It's true we aren't strong enough to defeat you, but it will take too long to ensnare us both. He will catch up to you long before then."
Lahar does pause after hearing me say the word "him", his eyes widening in fear. I allow a smirk to drop onto my face as I continue with the bluff. His eyes dart back and forth nervously.
"That guy will most certainly take you into custody."
Lahar smirks nervously as his amorphous body begins to reform into a human shape. Katsuki grits his teeth in fear as the Villain passes by us ending the fight prematurely. All the bloodlust from moments before evaporated and the adrenaline coursing through my veins quickly waned.
"You're right kid, today is your lucky day isn't it?"
Katsuki shivers as the villain strolls by us without a second glance. We stood in place like stone statues until the sounds of his footsteps could no longer be heard at all.
Part 5: The End of the Beginning
As we scurried away from the dark tunnel I had the distinct feeling that something else was supposed to happen. I had cleared the quest and kept my life and experience for outwitting the villain. I guess that's all that matters really.
Both heroes and villains were much too troublesome for their own good. They could both end up being a nuisance in my long-term plans.
Lahar finally stopped in a rather damp alley, snaking a single eye around the corner wearily. With no heroes in sight he places his palm flat against his chest and reverses the effects of his Quirk on his own body. The viscous green fluid quickly turns back to flesh and he roughly coughs into his hand.
"Shit, I had no idea he was even in the city. To think I would be running away so fearfully from a hero. I almost completely ran out of stamina... at that point returning would be impossible. I would have died... damn you All Might."
Despite coming so far already he collapses onto his knees and wheezes. The dark alley begins to swim in and out of focus until he falls face first into a grimy puddle. After a few moments, he finally becomes silent, unconscious.
The alleyway is silent for a several moments until a man appears at the mouth. He calmly walks forward until he was beside the unconscious villain. The man partially lifts the black blindfold from his closed eyes for a moment. The world becomes a sea of blue and pulse emanates from his body.
"Sakakibara. It seems you did not perish. Although it is obvious you did not do it unscathed. I will bring you home now."
He stoops down onto one knee and picks up the wrist of Lahar. After confirming his erratic pulse, he lifts the villain onto his back easily and starts walking away.
Lahar is pulled from his slumber to find himself in a tattered hospital bed. The sound that woke up comes from a propped-up tablet lit up from a live video. Despite his weary condition he smiles gleefully.
In locations all over the city villains paused what they were doing as their leader broadcasted to them live. To cellphones, to tablets and computers of all those invited to listen.
"Attention all who hear my voice, this is your leader Deus Ex Machina. I want to begin with an apology for many were injured complying with orders I gave. I rally now because your combined efforts have finally borne fruit. This day... we have won."
He pauses and all those listening waited with bated breath.
"We now have this hero society at checkmate. A device was recovered that been shuffling from corporation to corporation. Now that is in our hands... when next it falls, we shall be there to catch it in our hands. In thirty days give our take we will be cooperating with other sects to retrieve it."
A new number flashes across the screen for all those looking to see.
[30:17:25:24]
"Synchronize your watches and timers because this is our timeline my children, we've worked too hard to have this operation fail. When that timer hits zero have your game faces ready. At this point any mistakes could ultimately mean death or worse."
Notes ~ To be clear here at the end I am introducing an original character who happens to be a villain. He's going to be important later on. He's apart of a list of Seinen level original character villains I'm adding to this world.
There many more hidden stats that Izuku can see that I didn't squeeze into this chapter and I'll explain them now for convenience. Each of the categories below will be assigned a point value from 0-100, 0 being the worst and 100 being the highest. Some of these stats can be raised using special items he receives from special quests while some can only change based on situation or personality. Those below are Izuku's own stats.
[Power: 33]~~~~[Speech: 98]~~~~[Honesty: 23]
[Speed: 82]~~~~[Charm: 40]~~~~[Wealth :31]
[Endurance: 50]~~~~[Insight: 88]~~~~[Kindness: 50]
[Stealth: 99]~~~~[Tenacity: 53]~~~~[Empathy: 8]
[Flexibility: 58]~~~~[Appearance: 47]~~~~[Dissatisfaction: 50]
Dialogue Mode isn't very complicated either, the choices are determined by two factors. The first is the level of your speech which Izuku happens to have nearly maxed out. The second factor is something called "affinity". It is a synopsis of someone's current personal relationship with Izuku. There are negative and positive "affinity" points ranging from -100 - 0 - 100. The initial impression someone has of Izuku + their interactions determines the score. For example, Katsuki Bakugo has a -5 negative affinity and a +20 positive affinity for Izuku. A 0-0 score means they have no impression while -50 - +5 means they think rather poorly of you.
