Izuku snapped back to consciousness and immediately wished he hadn't. His head throbbed painfully, pulsing with every shaft of light that managed to sneak through his eyelids. He'd never suffered from a hangover before, but what he was feeling now matched up perfectly with the descriptions he'd heard.

He cast his mind back as far as he could, searching for something that would explain his present circumstances. Nothing came to mind. The last thing he remembered was going to sleep in his dorm room after a long day of training. Everything after was a complete blank.

He tried harder, hoping to force his mind into revealing some new information, but found it hard to concentrate with the cacophony going off around him. Between the birdsong and the buzzing of insects, it sounded like he was in the middle of a jungle, an idea that was confirmed a moment later when he finally managed to force his eyes all the way open.

Dense, green foliage surrounded him, layers of ferns and vines preventing him from seeing more than a few feet in either direction. Strange birds with brilliant plumage like nothing Izuku had ever seen flew back and forth through the trees above. The closest parallel was the birds of paradise he'd seen on the internet, which was concerning. Those weren't the kind of birds you found anywhere near UA's campus. Or anywhere in Japan, come to think of it.

Groaning, he sat up and took stock of his situation. He couldn't see any sort of ceiling, which ruled out being stuck in some sort of greenhouse or enclosure like the USJ. The greenery around him appeared to be growing without any order or planning, which made some sort of farm or plantation less likely as well. In short, Izuku had no clue where he was, a fact that was growing more worrying by the second.

His state of dress was also concerning. Instead of his pajamas, school uniform, or even his casual clothes, Izuku was dressed in some sort of leather armor that looked like it was straight out of a western fantasy movie. It was fairly form-fitting and fit his frame almost perfectly. A thick leather belt around his waist contained various supplies, though Izuku couldn't identify most of them. Several of the pockets were empty, but seemed to be made for holding specific items. A large knife was sheathed at the small of his back.

He reached up to shade his eyes from the blazing sun as he turned to search his surroundings once more and winced as he touched his forehead. Carefully prodding himself, he found layers of thick white bandages had been wrapped around his head, forming a crude headband. He used the knife's blade as a pseudo mirror and found that a fairly large portion of the left side was stained red from dried blood. Given this, Izuku figured he was probably suffering from a concussion. He hoped it was only minor, though given his memory loss, that seemed unlikely.

He looked around, hoping to spot his regular clothes, but was distracted from his search when he spotted something else of interest. A few feet away was a large canteen resting atop a well-worn, leather-bound journal.

He made his way over to the objects, wincing with every step. The canteen was mostly full of water, and Izuku gulped at it greedily. He hadn't realized how thirsty he was until the first drops had touched his lips.

When he finished draining the container, he turned his attention to the journal. It looked like some kind of movie prop, especially when he compared it to the notebooks he kept back home on his classmates' Quirks and skills.

The inside cover labelled it the "Hunter's Guidebook", which didn't mean much to Izuku, but did raise his nerves a little higher. He wasn't very familiar with hunting, but he did know that hunters sometimes went after dangerous animals for the challenge. He really hoped that there wasn't anything too dangerous in these woods, since, as far as he could tell, he was the tastiest morsel nearby at the moment, and wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight in his present state.

He flipped idly through the book, glancing briefly at the fantastical sketches contained within. Whoever owned the book obviously had an impressive imagination to come up with so many creature designs, and their drawing skills were impressive as well. A part of Izuku hoped he would get the chance to meet the owner and take some sketching lessons from them. His own notebooks didn't look nearly this good.

When he reached the center of the notebook, a slip of paper fell out, fluttering to the ground. Izuku absently reached down to pick it up as he stared at the page that he had just opened. It was a fully colored map, filled with an impressive amount of detail. It had been sectioned into various areas, each of which were numbered and paired with a short description of the terrain and other various pieces of information.

Izuku was filled with a strange mix of relief and anxiety at the discovery.

On the one hand, he didn't recognize the area in the slightest. The map labeled it 'The Ancient Forest', which wasn't the most descriptive of names. It also included a series of numbers that reminded Izuku of a set of latitude/longitude coordinates, but were in an unfamiliar format that Izuku couldn't make heads nor tails of. Based on the descriptions of the topography and flora that were included, Izuku realized his initial guess was probably right. Wherever he was, it was definitely tropical, which meant he was miles from Japan, even in the best-case scenario. It was not a comforting realization.

What little relief he did experience was from the fact that a city was clearly labeled at the bottom right portion of the map. Izuku had never heard of a place called 'Astera', but he figured someone there would be able to help him get home.

Next, he checked the contents of the note. The handwriting was a messy scrawl that was difficult to make out. It looked like whoever had written it had done so in a hurry.

Izuku,

Sorry for leaving you alone, but the wound on your head looked pretty bad. I did my best to treat it, but with how much it was bleeding, I thought it might be better if a medic looked at it. I tried dragging you, but couldn't get too far. You might want to try skipping desert from time to time!

I've gone ahead to Astera to try and get some help. We should be back before you wake up, but if we aren't you should make your way to us. It's dangerous to spend time in the forest without a weapon.

Head due east, and you should reach Astera before you know it.

Stay safe, Partner!

Izuku scratched at the side of his head. The writing was wholly unfamiliar, yet whoever had written it seemed to know him. It would have been concerning if the writer hadn't mentioned going to get help.

A part of Izuku was tempted to stay where he was and wait for help to come to him, but he quickly squashed the impulse. The note writer had said that the forest could be dangerous, so he didn't want to stick around any more than he had to. Besides, if he met them halfway, that meant he could start to get answers just a little sooner. It was that prospect that made the decision simple.

He was still a bit unsteady on his feet, but Izuku had been through enough injuries in his hero training that he was able to push through the discomfort enough to put one foot in front of the other.

In short order, he cleared the section of the forest that he had been left in and stopped dead in his tracks. Ahead of him, the trees thinned out briefly in a small, marshy area where a handful of large creatures that reminded Izuku of dinosaurs were drinking peacefully. Beyond that, the forest thickened again, growing into a thick snarl of trees that formed a solid canopy and prevented him from seeing anything beneath them. That, however, wasn't what drew his attention.

At the center of the forest rose a jaw-droppingly massive tree. It's branches dwarfed everything else in the forest, making it hard for Izuku to judge the distance correctly. He could even swear he saw the glint of a pool of water near the top of the tree. The sight left him speechless and immobile as he tried to think of some way that a tree like this could have grown without the world knowing about it.

He was distracted from his ruminations by a distant roar that echoed through the forest. Izuku wasn't quite sure how big a creature would have to be to make such a roar, but he was sure that he didn't want to find out.

He made his way down a well-trodden path that he hoped would lead him to Astera. It wound through the wetlands area, making Izuku glad for the boots he now wore. They were very well waterproofed and kept his feet dry, even as he picked his way around the large creatures drinking from the pools. They stared at him, but didn't seem overly concerned at his presence.

Thankfully, the swampy area was small, and Izuku quickly found himself back on solid ground. As he walked, Izuku took note of yet more foreign creatures that surrounded him, from the vulture-like birds that were picking at the corpse of one of the dinosaur creatures Izuku had just passed to the small, furry creatures that scurried between his legs as he walked. Izuku would have loved to spend some time exploring the area, but he needed to focus on survival.

Finally, after walking for what felt like a very long time, but was probably only a few minutes, Izuku saw signs of civilization.

A group of people were walking towards him. One was dressed in a bright yellow jacket, with a pair of strange goggles on her head. She looked strangely familiar, though Izuku couldn't place her for the life of him. Another was dressed in a form-fitting green coat and carried a large bag with a red cross emblazoned on it. The third wore what appeared to be chainmail armour, and carried a small sword and shield.

They spotted Izuku a moment later, and all three broke into smiles. The woman in the yellow coat started waving enthusiastically at him, and Izuku felt compelled to return the gesture.

As he was raising his arm, a large shape emerging from the treeline caught his eye. It was akin to the largest Iguana Izuku had ever seen, easily three times as long as he was tall, with golden scales and a mane of tendrils that reminded him of dreadlocks.

The creature was creeping towards the group, who were preoccupied with greeting Izuku.

He threw both hands over his head, and shouted as loud as he could. "Look out behind you!"

They turned to see what he was talking about, but were far too slow. By the time they saw the creature, it was practically on top of them.

It slammed a foot down on the yellow jacketed woman, pinning her to the ground while it snarled at the other two. The man in chainmail slashed his sword at its face, but the blow didn't seem to do more than annoy the creature.

Izuku charged forward as fast as he could. He wasn't sure how much help he would be in his current state, but he knew he had to help. As he ran, he tried to activate One For All, willing the enormous power of his Quirk into his limbs.

Instead of the familiar warmth that accompanied the use of his Quirk, Izuku felt... nothing. No rush of power barely contained in his frame, no tingling sensation in his arms and legs as lightning danced along them. Izuku felt completely human, which was a terrifying prospect in that moment.

He wracked his brain, trying to come up with some way to distract the creature from the easy meal in its grasp. What finally caught his eye was a pile of loose stones just behind the creature. Doing his best to stay low, Izuku quickly made his way to the pile and picked up a large stone.

The monster was still engaged with the man in chainmail, trying to snap its jaws around one of his limbs as he nimbly danced out of the way, landing slash after slash on the monster's neck and legs.

Then, as Izuku watched, the monster let go of the woman in the yellow coat, and reared up on its hind legs. The man was taken aback by the sudden shift in attack pattern, his latest strike going wide and throwing him off balance.

Izuku could see that the body slam the monster was preparing for would crush the man, and chose that moment to act.

He hurled the stone in his hand as hard as he could at the monster's face. It smacked directly into the beast's eyes, eliciting a roar of pain and causing it to stumble backwards. This pulled it away from those it had been attacking, but also moved it closer to Izuku.

As it fought to regain its balance, its tail swung wide and smashed directly into Izuku's chest. He was sent flying, his back slamming into a tree. Thankfully, the many vines that were draped around it caught him slightly, and reduced his momentum. Instead of colliding with bone-breaking force, Izuku merely found the wind knocked out of him.

He watched, dazed, as the monster recovered itself. It dropped to all fours once more, now several yards away from the group, and roared. The force of the roar made his teeth shake in his gums and redoubled the pain in his head.

Then, like an avenging angel, a figure with a truly massive blade strapped to his back leapt down from a nearby cliff directly onto the monster. He pulled a smaller blade from his back and slammed it into the monster's flesh repeatedly. It roared again, though with much less force this time.

Izuku took the monster's distraction with the new attacker as a chance to clear his head. His vision was still swimming with static, but he did manage to rise to his feet and assume a ready stance. Now slightly more recovered, he turned his attention back to the battle.

The group who had greeted him were retreating, heading back the way they had come as fast as they could. The woman in the green jacket was practically dragging the yellow jacketed woman along behind her. The man who had leapt on top of the monster had dismounted it and was leading them.

As Izuku watched, the monster began to move once more, chasing after the fleeing figures. He could hear them calling his name, urging him to follow after them. Not having any other choice, Izuku followed. He could only hope that they would have some way of dealing with the monster wherever they were going.

He turned a corner and saw the monster roaring at a large wooden gate. The group of people were standing just on the other side of the gate, waving for Izuku to come to them. The monster seemed reluctant to approach the gate, which Izuku took as an opportunity.

He lowered his center of mass as best he could, and began a headlong charge towards the gate. His plan, such as it was, was to slip past the monster before it could shift its focus to him and use the surprise to make it inside the gate without getting clobbered.

He was almost to the monster when another form bust from the trees to his left. A massive pink-and-blue creature that resembled a T-Rex leapt high over Izuku and slammed into the other monster, grabbing its head in its powerful jaws.

Izuku pushed past the primal instincts that told him to run and hide and continued his charge. At this point, it was the safer option. If he reversed course, there was a very real chance the new monster would see him as easy prey and switch its attention onto him.

He ran between the monster's legs, twisting his entire body to avoid getting stepped on as the monsters fought above him.

"JUMP!" The man with the oversized sword called out to him.

Izuku didn't need any encouragement. He leapt forward with all his might, feeling a breeze on his neck as a tail swipe very nearly took his head off. The momentum from the jump sent him sliding along the ground as he finally passed the gate, which slammed shut a moment later.

Finally safe, at least to a certain extent, Izuku let out a sigh of relief, and collapsed into a heap.

They took a few minutes to recover from the ordeal, but the man with the oversized blade, who introduced himself as the Field Team Leader for Astera, wanted them to get moving into the city as soon as they were able.

In the brief moment Izuku had been able to evaluate the gate to the city, he had been impressed by its size. But now that he could see the city itself, he was awestruck. Built into the side of a cliff face, it soared into the sky, a dazzling amalgamation of wood, stone, and iron. Izuku couldn't even begin to fathom the architectural feats it would have taken to construct this place. What caught his eye the most, though, was the massive ship perched high above the city. Connected to the base of the cliff by spiraling walkways and constantly moving chains, it was truly a sight to behold.

He was so caught up in admiring the sights of the city that he didn't even realize his companions were talking to him until one of them laid a hand on his shoulder.

Izuku jumped at the contact, then relaxed slightly when he saw it was the bright-looking man in chainmail armor. Izuku didn't know who he was, but the way he acted put Izuku at ease. His demeanor was that of someone who had no secrets to keep or ulterior motives, and his face seemed to be permanently set in a grin.

"You ok there, buddy?" The man said. "You look a little bit out of it. Not that I blame you. From what your partner told us, it sounds like you had a nasty fall. Hope your noggin didn't get too scrambled!"

The levity rang hollow for Izuku, who wasn't sure at the moment what it felt like to have his noggin unscrambled.

"I….uh….maybe?" Izuku said, scratching at the back of his head. The bandages that were still wound around his head made the gesture awkward. "I... don't really remember much before waking up in the jungle a little while ago"

The four stared at him with obvious worry.

"Pard, what's the last thing you remember?" The woman in the yellow jacket asked.

Izuku wasn't sure exactly what to say. He didn't want to sound insane, but he was starting to suspect that he might actually be going crazy. Hardly any of what he had seen since waking up matched up with what he considered normal, or even possible.

Now that the action had stopped, and he had a moment to think to himself, he had come to one inescapable conclusion.

He was not on Earth anymore. Whether this was due to the effects of some Quirk or the whims of some malevolent god was impossible to say. Either way, his chances of making it home were much better if he could explore the area and ask people questions. Getting locked up in an insane asylum because he started talking about being from another world would definitely not help him.

So, Izuku was forced to lean on one of his weakest skills; lying.

"I...um ...remember we were talking...and then ...not much else." It was just about the vaguest statement he could come up with. He could only hope they would fill in the blanks for him. After all, they shouldn't be suspicious of anything he said.

"So, you remember talking to us on the ship before it was attacked?"

Izuku blinked in surprise. "Attacked?"

"Sort of." The woman scratched at her head absently. "Just before we made landfall, we ran into Zorah Magdaros. Literally. It wrecked the ship pretty good, and sent you and me tumbling. You managed to grab us a drake to ride before we hit the water, so we made it out without getting splattered."

She started shuffling in place as she spoke. "Then… it must have been a young drake, or it was sick or something, because it couldn't hold our weight. You let go, rather than take us both down. When I found you in the woods, your head was bleeding pretty bad, so I bandaged you up, then went to go get help. And... do you remember the rest from there?"

Izuku nodded. Some things were still a bit fuzzy, but he remembered the encounter with the yellow lizard monster perfectly.

"That's a relief." She said, smiling once more. "I'm glad you're ok."

Izuku returned the smile. Similarly to the young man, he might not know exactly who this woman was, but he found himself willing to trust her.

"If you guys are finished catching up," the Field Team Leader said, grabbing their attention. "Then it's about time for the grand tour!"

Izuku found that he greatly enjoyed getting to know Astera. It was unlike anywhere he had ever been before, and the experience was refreshing.

Whoever had designed the city had obviously had very different artistic sensibilities from modern architects. Everything was placed pretty far apart from everything else and often set on separate levels connected by a few flights of stairs, which made for quite a bit of walking as they explored. He liked it though. It gave him time to get his thoughts in order before he reached whatever destination he was heading for.

Their final destination was the canteen, which Izuku was excited for. Even if he couldn't remember all of it, he'd had quite the day so far, and a filling dinner sounded like just what the doctor ordered. The canteen was also on one of the higher levels of Astera, with what promised to be a stunning view of the setting sun as it sank into the ocean.

Apparently, he was also supposed to find something called a "Palico" there. He'd considered asking what that was, but given how simply they had stated it, Izuku figured it was better to wait and find out.

The warmth and the smell hit him at the same time, and set his mouth watering in an instant. It was like Lunch Rush's best meal on steroids. Grilling meat mixed with baking bread and a myriad of spices Izuku couldn't name. With the delicious scent filling his nose, he cleared the last few steps with a spring in his step.

He let his nose drag him into one of the empty seats in front of the stone grill. A strangely buff cat-like creature with an eyepatch looked him over. Izuku got the sense that he had been appraised and found wanting.

"There's a face I haven't seen before. You look like you're ready for a meal though. Tell me, scrawny, think you can handle a real serving of protein?"

Izuku cast his mind back to the training he'd received from All Might for a moment. The diet he'd been on for that had been both protein rich and extreme. Even so, he'd found that he rather enjoyed it after a while.

"Sounds great!" He said brightly, slapping his stomach for emphasis.

The muscular chef laughed boisterously at that. "I think you and I are gonna get on great, kid. Now sit back and have a drink while we get cooking." At that, his feline kitchen staff leapt into action. A frenzy of food and cooking implements flew through they air between them in a mad dance as they worked. Izuku quickly found himself entranced, and more than a little frightened.

They were efficient, however, despite their unorthodox methods. In just a few short moments, Izuku had a platter of food the size of his head set before him.

He was just about to dig in when he heard a familiar voice calling to him from across the canteen.

"MIDORIIIIIIIIII!"

He turned to face the speaker just in time to get a faceful of fur as something large and furry slammed into his head.

For Mina Ashido, waking up in an unknown place had been a disturbing and worrisome experience. Waking up as a different species had made the whole thing so much worse.

Mina now resembled a large, bipedal house cat with bright pink fur. She was only half the height she was used to, making things seem much bigger than they actually were. She also had grown a kinked tail that waved when she experienced strong emotions. She had tried moving it intentionally, to only limited success. Her ears were now on the top of her head, and she found them pointing automatically towards anything she focused on, amplifying the sound in a very distracting way.

It wasn't all bad. She could tell that her already good night vision had improved exponentially. The tail was throwing off her balance a little bit, but she imagined that when she got the hang of it, she would be able to pull off the cat's trick of always landing on its feet. She even enjoyed being fuzzy.

What she didn't enjoy was not knowing anything. She'd woken up in a strange bed with nary a soul around, aching all over. When she had finally managed to drag herself out of bed, she had a small freak-out about her situation, then wandered aimlessly for several minutes before finally running into someone else.

They'd acted like she was insane when she asked where she was and why she looked like a cat. After a solid minute of pleading, they finally told her that she was in a place called Astera after being injured in a boat crash earlier that day. Then they had been on their way, leaving her to wander alone once more.

She didn't recognize anyone, and it was a more disturbing experience than she could have ever expected. She knew practically everyone in her neighborhood, and had for years. The closest thing she'd experienced to this feeling was moving into the UA dorms, but then she'd been friends with everyone involved.

Now, she'd been torn from everyone and everything she knew, her form changed in a way she couldn't begin to understand. Most people only spared her a glance as they walked past, even if she tried to talk to them. The only ones who would talk to her were the other cat creatures, or Palicos, as she was told they were called. Even then, most of them just told her to sit down and wait for her 'Meowster' to answer her questions. Under normal circumstances, she might have appreciated the pun, but Mina was well into another freak-out by that point.

The sound of a familiar voice pulled her from her freak-out. Across the canteen, she spotted a familiar head of green hair sitting down to eat.

She didn't stop to question whether or not it was actually Izuku. Mina simply charged across the eating area, dodging nimbly around patrons, and threw herself bodily at him.

"So, it's just us?" Izuku asked.

The pair had excused themselves to "recover from their trying day" in their shared room after Mina had body slammed him. The others hadn't seemed too surprised, which was a relief. Apparently, this had been an unusually exciting day, even for people who lived in a realm of giant monsters.

"I didn't see anyone I recognized. But I didn't go very far. I was afraid of getting lost. This place is kinda confusing. And big." Mina said.

She was curled up on the pillow of the bed that Izuku had been assigned to, while he sat at the foot of it. The residents of Astera apparently kept fairly late hours, so they had the barracks to themselves for the time being, a fact that they were both extremely thankful for.

"I got a tour of the place, but I didn't see anyone familiar either." Izuku said.

Mina growled in frustration, a sound that was quite a bit more intimidating in her new feline form. "So, basically, we're stuck in what might be another universe, one that's home to giant monsters that we're apparently supposed to hunt, without our Quirks, and without anyone we know?"

"Well, we have each other at least." Izuku said with a small smile. "So we'll be ok."

It was such an Izuku thing to say. He probably believed it too, had perfect faith that they would be ok so long as they stuck together. That was just the kind of person he was.

And damn if Mina didn't feel herself coming around to his way of thinking.

Maybe things weren't looking great at the moment, but they didn't have to face it alone.

"Yeah..you're right." Mina said, perking up a bit for the first time since she'd woken up in this new world. "Thanks, Izuku."

"No problem" he said. Then, he leaned over and ran a hand down her back, like he would for any other house cat.

Mina froze at the unexpected contact, and Izuku followed suit a moment later as he realized what he had just done.

"I-I-I'm so sorry I just—"

"No it—it's ok." Mina said, thankful that the thick fur that now covered her hid the blush burning across her face. The contact had been unexpected, but Mina found that it actually felt... nice. Maybe it was her new feline instincts showing themselves, or maybe she just wanted some comfort, but Mina found that she rather wanted him repeat the action. "Can you... do it again?"

Hesitantly, Izuku reached out once more, and ran a hand slowly down her spine. Mina relaxed into it, feeling her back arch involuntarily into the touch. She could even feel a purr rumbling in her chest, but she resisted letting it out. There was a big difference between the intimate moment between friends they were currently sharing and... whatever purring would turn it into.

Even if she wasn't stuck in an alternate dimension and turned into a giant cat, it would have been awkward. After all, she and Izuku were just friends. Good friends, who'd been through a lot during their hero training, but still just friends. And they were going to stay that way, even if he was incredibly kind, and sweet, and the way he was scratching behind her ears felt just heavenly, and—

Mina shook herself out of that train of thought. No! No romance! You can think about how good chin scratches must feel when you get home!

"We...um...we should probably head to bed, huh?" Mina said, pulling away from Izuku's hand. "Gonna have a lot to do tomorrow."

"Y-yeah. Are—are you gonna be okay in that?" He indicated the bed she had been assigned.

It was basically a cat bed, albeit quite a bit larger than the ones Mina was used to seeing. At the very least, it looked decently plush, so Mina figured she would be comfortable, if a little humiliated.

"I'll be fine. I sleep like a rock most of the time anyway," she said confidently.

Izuku nodded in response, then began to get ready for bed as she padded away.

He hung the leather armor he'd awoken in on a special hanger on the edge of the bed and put the contents of his belt in the chest at the foot of it. The chest was divided into two parts, half for storing spare hunting gear, and the other half for the various items and knicknacks he might pick up. Through some trick of engineering, or maybe just downright magic, the chest seemed to be larger on the inside than its outer dimensions would allow. Izuku decided to file it under 'inexplicable alternate dimension stuff' and left it at that.

As he pulled the scant few covers up over himself, Izuku stared at the hulking iron weapon that had been waiting for him when he'd stepped into the room. He wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to wield it, since it probably weighed a ton, but the Field Team Leader hadn't seemed to think it would be an issue.

He wasn't quite sure how he felt about his role in all this. The people he'd talked with today had made it clear he was supposed to be a hunter, that he would have to go out and fight monsters starting tomorrow. It sounded like hard, dangerous work.

But it was apparently necessary in this world. The monster population had to be controlled, lest they overwhelm Astera. Thus, hunters were both wanted and respected here.

In fact, the more he thought about it, the more the hunters of this world reminded him of the heroes of his own. Sure, there were plenty of differences, from the use of deadly weaponry to the lack of superhuman abilities, but there were too many similarities to ignore. Both worked a difficult, yet necessary, job for the sake of humanity, and both were loved by their populace for their service.

Sighing, Izuku laid back and tried to clear his thoughts, a task that was easier said than done. His mind was still racing a mile a minute.

He was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost missed Mina's voice coming from across the room. It was quiet and heavy with exhaustion, but it still held that trademark Mina charm.

"G'night, Midori."

He smiled at that. All the worry in the world wouldn't get between Mina and her well earned beauty sleep. Izuku would do well to follow her example.

Rolling onto his side, he stared at the spot where the pink girl-turned-cat was curled neatly in her bed.

"Good night, Ashido." He said softly.

Less than a minute later, Izuku fell into a deep slumber.

Thank you very much for reading! Your enjoyment means the world to me.

This funky little fic came about through playing some Monster Hunter with my friend Dio on the IzuMina discord, and wondering just how the characters would react to the situation. I plan to do just a couple more chapters, maybe three if I make a chapter of outtakes/side fluff. I'll be updating every so often, though this is more of a side project for me at the moment. You never know though. I might get suddenly motivated to finish this.

Either way, I hope you enjoyed it, and that you have an excellent day!

If you have some feedback, a question you don't feel like leaving in the comments, or just want to chat, feel free to hit me up at

I can also be found lurking in Epsilon1101's discord, or on the IzuMina server. Come check them out, and meet some cool people!
