I do not own any characters or places that are in the actual anime or manga

Hundreds of years ago, there was a young boy that was very interested in fire. He couldn't explain it, but he felt he always gravitated towards the element. One of the times he saw fire, he decided to touch it. The boy and his parents were completely shocked at what they saw.

His hand was fine!

While nobody at the time knew it, that boy was the first one to gain Magic Potential. After that initial boy, a strange phenomenon happened where all the babies born had magic potential in their veins. Like him, some were able to withstand the elements, while others could even control the elements. After 50 years, over half of the worldly population possessed this power. Once another 30 years passed, only 10% didn't exhibit some kind of magic potential.

Once 60% of the world had magic potential, people started to see that they were all connected to 4 classes. Once the classes were established, and people had a decent grasp of how to use their powers, new professions showed up to use these powers; some more than others. A few of them were Mages, Alchemists, and the ever so popular, Knight role!

Unlike your typical RPG, Mages were more like scholars than actual fighters. Although they did possess a hefty amount of Magic Potential, they decided to use it to understand what Magic Potential is, where it came from, and how it worked.

Alchemists were the people that would almost get as much service as food shops. They would create potions that would help somebody that was injured, some that gave your skin the strength of steel, while others were kinda duds. They would always try to find new concoctions to assist their customers in any way.

And then there were the Knights. The role everybody wanted to be. They would develop their Magic Potential to be used in hand-to-hand combat, or with a weapon. Some even use their magic for protection when the time for it arises. They often get famous for protecting their kingdom from threats. It truly was an honor to be a knight.

So long story short, except for a few changes, the world as they knew it was turned into an RPG!

*To the actual story*

"Comeon Izuku," a female voice said to the child that was currently taking in the sights of the shopping places, "You don't want to get left behind, do you?"

"No mom!" he yelled back to his mother, "I'm coming!" After taking another look at a merchant that sold time counters (clocks), he used his little legs to catch back up to his mother. When he reached her, he instinctively grabbed the hand his mother left out for him.

"Stay with me, okay? A lot of people are going to be coming this way soon, and I don't want you to get lost," the mother said in a kind voice.

"Okay." he simply responded as he continued to look around the town. This was the boy's first time away from the house. He would usually do his chores when his mom went to town, but she insisted he go with her so that he could get acquainted with the kingdom. Staying inside all day wasn't healthy for a 5 year old boy after all.

"Do you remember what we need to get sweetie?" his mother asked to get his attention.

"Yeah! We need...umm...we need..." Izuku thought hard on what they needed to get from the marketplace. Inko just smiled at how cute her son looked as he was trying to remember, "Oh yeah! We need some bread, beef, milk, and a new trowel for your garden!"

"Yep. Now let's hurry up and get the freshest things before they're all taken." she said as she took her son's small hand and lightly pulled him into the right direction.

It took a few minutes, but they finally made it to the marketplace. To Inko's dismay and to Izuku's amazement, the place was already full with people. She let out a light groan of annoyance while the boy's eyes were practically sparkling.

"Wow! There's so many people!" Izuku exclaimed, "I wonder why they're all here at the same time?"

"Me too Izuku, me too," the mother sheepishly said as she led her son through the crowd of people. Once Izuku made it to the group of people, him and his mother started getting bounced around by the sea of people. Many apologies were said from the 2 as they made it to each of the places they needed to go to. Once they were able to escape the crowd, they were both tired from their little expedition. They ended up with slightly stale bread, some decent beef, milk that was going to expire soon, and the trowel was slightly used.

"And that," Inko started to her son, "Is why I like to hurry up with the shopping. You ok sweetie?"

"Yeah. I didn't know you had to go through that everyday," Izuku then smiled innocently at his mother, "Your so cool mom!"

Inko then pulled her son into a tight squeeze while also carrying their purchases, "Thanks sweetie. I try." She then let her son go and the 2 continued on their way home. Unbeknownst to them, there was a figure in a black robe following them. The 2 got a fair distance away from the chaotic marketpalce before the figure announced his presence.

"Um...excuse me," he said in a sincere voice, "Could you help me with where to go? I'm new to this kingdom, you see."

The pair turned around to see the man before them. He had a black robe with the hood covering his face. The robe went all the way down to his legs, so there wasn't really much to see.

Inko looked at the man with a skeptical face on while she ushered Izuku behind her, "I will try my best to lead you in the right direction. Where do you need to go?"

The man then walked closer to the 2. The mother walked back as well, afraid of what the man was going to do. Once the man was close enough, he produced a metal needle from his pocket. Then he threw it with all his strength past the 2.

That's when he started making his demands, "Hand over all your coins and groceries. My MP is metal, and I specialize in attracting metals. So if you don't want to get skewered in the throat..."

The mother and son were now trembling like a leaves at the threat. Both were scared for their lives. Reluctantly, Inko started to hand over the bag full of stuff.

However, just before the man was about to grasp the bag, another person in a suit of armor tapped him on the shoulder. When the robed man turned around, he was greeted with a sword that was inches from his face.

The suited man smiled as he saw the expression on the other man's face. He then gave a wave from his unoccupied hand, "Hello thief. If you don't mind coming with me, we'll see what the nobles want to do with you." His sword then glowed yellow for a few seconds. After the glow faded, Inko and Izuku were more calmed then they were before. They were convinced that the man's form put them at ease.

The robed man growled in anger as he lifted his hand up. The needle started to shake while it was on the ground. The armored man saw this, so he pushed his sword closer so that it was barely on the tip of his nose, "Ah ah ah. You're not going to use your MP against me."

That caused the thief to let go of his control of the needle. He sighed reluctantly and started in a mad dash away from the armored man.

"Hey!" he called out, "Get back here!" he then gave chase to the man that threatened the mother-son pair. Inko and her son looked on to the man trying to catch up to the thief. Izuku was especially interested.

"Who was that mom?" he asked.

"That was a knight, sweetie. They protect their kingdom and the people that live in it. Lucky us that he decided to come around," she then got herself together and was about to walk down the path to their house, "Comeon Izuku, We can tell you dad about what happened when we get home."

"Hey mom."

"Yes?"

"I want to be a knight when I grow up."

*Thus ends the first chapter! This is more like a prologue to what's coming up, so please bear with me. I don't know when I'll update, but I assure you that it will be soon

Hope you all have a great rest of your day, and please review so you can tell me how I did!
