RPG Hero
"If there's a goal in life, you can move more fully." - Sage Moruo
Chapter 1, Izuku Midoriya: Origin
Near Tatouin Station
'What is with all these names and levels over people's head?' thought the green-haired and freckled-faced boy in a black middle school uniform with a title and a level above his head that said:
The Gamer
LV: 4, Midoriya Izuku
, as he walked down the street. He looks above at people's heads, noticing the same from other that said their names, what their jobs were, along with their levels between 4-8.
"Maybe this could be a Qui- Wow, a giant Villain." Izuku exclaimed as he went to see a huge shark-faced villain on top of a railroad. Different people in costumes were fighting with the massive malcontent. The police secured a line as a crowd with people their smartphones out for videos or pictures, others were cheering, and the rest were talking on their phones. A young man with his level, name, and title above his head,
Pro Hero, Kamui Woods
LV: 38, Nishiya Shinji
, as he lands on top of the train station. He wore a wooden helmet that covers his face along with a navy jumpsuit. His arms made of timber like his belt with a red flowers attached, kneepads, and shoes.
"GET AWAYYY!", yelled the behemoth.
"Who's he fighting?", Izuku exciting ask as he squeezed to the edge of the police line; looking with a smile and eyes filled with wonder.
"Illegal use of Quirks during rush hour along with robbery and assault. You're pure evil.", stated Kamui
"It's Kamui Woods!", the green-haired boy exclaimed with delight, "The popular young super star!"
"A commentary, huh? Kid are you an otaku?!", a middle-aged man next to the teen asked.
The freckled face of the young lad changed to embarrassment as he said, "UH, no, heh heh..."
"Your punishment", Kamui announced as his arms turned into branches.
"Here it comes. It's his Super Move, Preemptive Binding…", declared the boy as the superstar's ligneous arm stretched towards large villain, "… Lacquered Chain Prison!"
"CAYNON CANNON", interrupted a mammoth woman with lengthy and capacious creamy blonde hair with purple horns protruding from it. She wore a lavender domino mask and her bodysuit was purple around her abdomen that ended with orange accents at her neck, shoulders and waist. The carroty borders gave way to a skin-tight portion colored the same as her hair and lead to the same colored ending of lilac gloves and boots.
Above her head said,
Pro Hero, Mt. Lady
LV: 32, Takeyama Yu
, as she picked up the knocked out and smaller giant while men with their cameras out. they repeated, "Money shot!" amongst the group snapped pictures with successive flashes.
"Today's my debut!", she publicized as she moved her posterior towards the crowd, "Pleased to meet you all! I am Mt. Lady!"
Izuku then takes out a notebook and writes while mumbling, "Gigantification? It's quite the common yet powerful Quirk, but could the damage of public property limit its use? Well… that would depend on if she can manipulate size at will."
DING!
A blue message box pops up in front of the inscribing lad that read:
A skill has been created through a special act.
Another blue screen appears right after:
Through continuous observation, a skill to find the target's information, [Observe], has been created.
A red box followed suit:
[Observe] (Active) LV: 1 EXP: 0.00%
A skill that can reveal information about a target.
Effect: It allows the user to gain info like max HP, max MP, and a general description.
'Huh, what is going on!? Why is this happening?! IS THIS A QUIRK!?', Midoriya thought as he
"Taking notes, huh!? Guess you wanna be a hero then. Gook luck with that!" the older man complimented the teenager as he blushes.
"Thank you! I will try my best!", thanked the young man as he looked away from floating squares. He then looked back as nothing was there as if gone from his actions.
Aldera Junior High, Third Floor Classroom
"You guys are now Third-years. It's time for you to start thinking about your futures!", the male teacher with a stack of papers next to him says to the classroom.
"I would hand out these career forms, but...", he then grabs the stack on his desk and swipes off his desk, "I assume you all want to be heroes!"
The students then show off their different Quirks while Midoriya raises his hand with a dejected expression while he glances away.
"Yes, you all have wonderful Quirks. But you know it's against school rules to use such abilities!", lectured the man towards his rowdy class.
"Sensei don't lump me in with these failures!" yelled an ash blond, spiky-haired teen with sharp red eyes with his legs on a desk.
Above the teenager's head said,
Hero Wannabe
LV: 8, Bakugo Katsuki
, as other students countered with, "Get over yourself, Katsuki!".
"SHUT UP! Extras should act like extras!", the irritating young man insulted at his classmates.
"Bakugo… you, of course… must be wanting to attend for U.A. High School.", the teacher commented.
"The national school!? The acceptance score for this year is 79, right!?", remarked as another student.
"I heard that they hardly admit that many students!", stated another peer.
"The dumb gossiping of extras!", Bakugo yelled as he gets on top of his desk, "I maxed out the mock exam! I'm the only one here that's U.A. material!"
"Not only that, but I'll be among the richest in the world!", proclaimed the prideful Katsuki.
"You're also going for U.A., aren't you, Midoriya?", a fellow student interrupted.
The class turn their attention to the young man hiding behind his arm and face buried in the desk.
They all laughed in unison at Izuku's admission to the high school.
"HUH!? Midoriya!? NO WAY!"
"Having good grades cannot get you into the Hero Program!"
The green-haired got up from his seat and opposed, "Th-that's not true! Sure, there's no requirement like before, but…". The blonde teen slammed his hand on the desk and as an explosion destroyed it with a loud boom.
"Forget these losers' Quirks. You're just a Quirkless gaming otaku.", the bombastic teen subdued the frazzled young man on the floor.
"Wa-Wait, Kacchan.", Izuku stuttered as he skits back to the wall, "I wa-wasn't s-s-saying that I could contest with you! Not at all! I mean it. It's just… it's been my dream since I was four and well… there's no harm in trying…"
"Ha ha ha ha, Try what!? The Entrance Exam?!", Bakugo said as his hands smoked with bursts.
"Are you just taking the Exam to "Try"!?", he added as he and rest of the class heckled while looking down.
"What can you even DO!?", the young man with the smoking and fiery palms finished. Midoriya then looked down as he said nothing while they all snickered.
12:02 P.M. Downtown
"VILLIAN! ANYONE STOP HIM!", a citizen yelled as a green liquid humanoid runs down the street.
"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!", challenged the gooey villain gargled.
"A hero is sure to come.", a pedestrian noted.
"This guy seems to have been driven by the turmoil earlier. Lots of people seem to lack any control over their Quirks.", another said.
"There appears to be no limit to them"
"Yes, there is.", a large muscle man behind the crowd announced.
"Why you ask? Because I am Here!", proclaimed the muscular man as he smiled.
Aldera Junior High, Third Floor Classroom
Izuku sighs as school ends and the students leave class. 'Maybe, I am just fooling myself in thinking that I could take the Hero Course. No, I can't give up; not when I come this far. There has to be a way, maybe with I should focus on those weird messages.', he reflects as the freckled-faced teenager gathers his thoughts.
'Okay, I first see these levels and titles above everyone's heads and then there how blue screens that said I gain some ability called [Observe]?', Midoriya reasoned as a yellow message box appears above his notebook.
DING!
The yellow screen read:
[Hero Analysis for My Future, No. 13—Rank: Rare]
A notebook that is written by [The Gamer], Midoriya Izuku, on examining heroes, costumes, combat strategies, and their Quirks along with their Super Moves. It is a well-written summary for the sake of coming up with ideas for his own hero career. It is very beloved by the writer and owner as proof of his effort and dreams.
'WHAAATTTT!?', Izuku exclaimed in his mind over seeing the unmoving hovering screen.
'Could this possibly be my Qui-', he tried to think until it was disrupted by Bakugo taking the notebooks.
"Now what is you're looking at, huh?", the volatile bully demanded.
"What's that, Katsuki?", asked one of his gang.
""For My Future"? Midoriya, you are unbelievable…", insulted by the fiery teen.
"C-c-c-ome on, Kacchan, give it back!", Izuku insisted.
Katsuki then put his two hands between the book and burst into with ember and smolder.
"EEEEEEEHHHHHHHH?!", cried the green-haired out of shock, "WHY!?"
"Hmph, the best heroes there had shown proof of merit when they were students.", argued the ash blond teen.
"I will be the first and LONE from this shitty public middle school! The first to gain the honor of being a graduate from U.A. high. Guess you could say I am a perfectionist.", professed Bakugo as he threw the notebook out of the window.
'So vain…', commented his gang mentally.
"In other words…", said Katsuki as he patted Midoriya's shoulder, "Don't you DARE get into U.A., nerd!"
The shoulder started to smolder leaving the young man shaking.
"C'mon, say something", voiced on of Bakugo's goons.
"He won't say anything, even as a Third-Year, he can't face reality.", affronted the zealous teen as he leaves the room.
"If you wanna be a hero so bad, then why don't you dive off the roof.", implied the tormenter.
"Maybe, you'll get a Quirk from through reincarnating!", Katsuki plagued Izuku.
Midoriya angrily turned as the other teen gave a menacing look with his left hand popping and crackling with blasts and bursts.
"That's not food, stupid. It my notebook… idiot... idiot…", the dejected boy informed the koi as he takes it out from the tank.
He then leaves the school ground and head into a tunnel. 'I have to keep my chin up and keep moving forward or I will never know what I can do!', the emerald-hair lad reaffirmed to himself.
He heard a glop sound as a green gooey humanoid appeared from a manhole cover behind him.
Izuku then looks at the villain as the slimy being says, "A medium-sized vessel… to hide in…"
DING!
A blue message box pops up:
A skill has been created through a special act.
Another blue box appears right after:
Through sensing danger in different situations, a skill to detect hazards, [Danger Sense], has been created.
A red screen manifest:
[Danger Sense] (Passive) LV: 1 EXP: 0.00%
A natural survival instinct. It allows the user to sense when a threat happens. The higher the skill level, the earlier danger can be sensed.
The boy runs through the darkness of the tunnel as he does his best as he can while the gunk followed. "Why did this had to happen!? Why has this day just been so bad for me?! If only there was someone to help me!", the frightened teenager cried as he runs toward the light.
"Fear not, kid", he heard as larger fist punched the manhole in front of him.
"I am here!", as the large muscular man with blonde hair that has two bangs sticking up with a large smile on his face.
"Get behind me, young man!", he says as Midoriya reaches the end of the tunnel and gets behind the hero.
"TEXAS SMASH!", the brawny man punches in front of himself as a gust of wind blasts towards the tunnel.
"A SHOCKWAVE?!", the scoundrel blubbered as he was splatter by the gale.
The young teen was sweating and breathing as he falls to the ground. "All… M… might", he whimpers as he faints on the ground.
"Hey! Hey! Wake up, Kid!", as the man gently slaps until his eyes open.
DING!
A blue box appears before the teenager's face with an X in the right corner reads:
Your physical activity causes your VIT to increases by 1.
Your physical activity causes your DEX to increases by 1.
He sighs as he then puts his finger towards the little X in the corner. He then sees the face of his savior along with his title and level:
?
LV: ?, Yagi Toshinori
, "Thank goodness.", Yagi greeted the recovered boy.
"WHAT!?", he shouted as at seeing the Toshinori.
"I apologize for getting you caught in my villain hunt.", confessed the man with well-defined muscles.
"My style usually has me finish this sooner, but I am unfamiliar with the area. Along with being off camera!", exposited the man to the teen.
"But my success here is thanks to you as I've captured the Villain!", announced the man as he showed a soda bottled filled with a glop.
'All Might! It's really him! Up close and he even saved me from a Villian.', contemplates Izuku as he looks at the hero.
"Oh! An autograph! Where's… My notebook…", the young man muttered as he finds his burnt notebook.
"HE ALREADY DID IT!", yelled Midoriya as he looked the signature with a little scribbled of the rescuer's eyes and bangs in the corner.
"This will be a treasure, a family heirloom", he said as he repeatedly bows.
"Not I must bring this fellow to the authorities; you can catch me on TV", All Might says he crouches down.
'Hold On! I still… need to ask.'
"Thanks for your support", he regarded as Izuku at the last second grabs onto the leaping man's legs.
He then notices the teen clinging on to his leg midair and says, "Release from me!", as he struggles to push the boy off. The scuffle causes the pocketed bottle to fall into an ally below; unnoticed by the two.
"I just need to ask you some things… only you can do!", Midoriya cries out as his mouth and eyelid flap from the pressure.
"Okay, okay, just do me a favor and close your mouth and eyes!", Toshinori directed the clinging teen as blood drips from his mouth.
"It's his fault for messing with me.", Bakugo say as he kicks a lime soda bottle.
"Seeing him so full of stupid dreams like when we were kids just pisses me off. I thought I told you two to stop smoking! Getting caught could go on my record too…", he yells at his two goons.
"H-hey!" as they point to the enlarging liquid mass to the back of Katsuki.
"Yes, someone with a good Quirk.", the Villain insinuated as his giant maw closed in on the unaware wannabe.
All Might then lands on a nearby building with a crash as Midoriya wheezes.
"Hopefully, the people downstairs can help us get down. I've truly got no time."
"Wait! Um…"
"No! I can't wait!"
"Even without a Quirk… can I be a Hero?! Can someone without a Quirk become a hero like you?"
"Quirks are…", Yagi says as he then jerks as steam rises from his body.
"Because I don't have a Quirk and I have always been bullied… That's why I think that saving people is one the coolest things someone can do. The way you save people with that fearless smile! I want to be the strongest Hero just like y- WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!", as Izuku looks at an emaciated blonde man with bangs in front of his sullen face.
'That can't be All Might but he has the same title and level along with his name being the same.', he looked in shock at the once muscular hero.
"I am All Might", he spoke as blood flows out of his mouth.
"NO WAY!"
"You know how people hold in their stomach at the pool? It's like that!"
"NO WAY!"
"A fearless smile, huh… you've seen the real me kid but don't spread the word of this, okay?", Toshinori exposited as he
"No way…"
The withered hero as he lifts the right of his shirt to as Izuku sees a drastic scar. A mutilation that left the upper abdomen disfigured along with markings of surgery. "Five years ago,… an enemy did this."
The young man tried to look away from the wound from the man he idolized.
"My respiratory system was almost wrecked along with my stomach being amputated. I've been wasting way due to the aftereffect of the surgeries. I can only do my Hero work for approximately three hours a day now."
"Five year ago? Then was it that fight with Toxic Chainsaw?"
"You've done your homework but that lowlife could never do that to me!"
"This was never made public. That is I asked for such a thing not be public. A Symbol of Peace show save people with a smile must always be vigilant. The reason why I smile is to keep the crushing pressure and fear I feel. A pro should always be read to risk his life. Without a Quirk, can one become a hero? The answer would be no most likely."
The young man looks down at in dismay over all the information as he looks down to the ground.
"If you desire to help people, you could become a police officer or a rescue profession. Villain Custody Officers are usually mocked for what they do but it's still commendable work! It's not wrong to dream but you to be more realistic, kid.", he advises Midoriya as he goes downstairs.
'Have to get this guy to…', he thought as he checked his empty pocket and looked out to see a loud explosion outside.
"On no…", he remarked as his expression turned to dread.
Bakugo was encompassed by the sludge villain as fiery explosions erupt from his hands. Each blast causes damage around him that create fire around the two-way block.
'As if I would this mud man use me like this.', he thinks as he screams loudly.
'What power this one has! I hit the jackpot with this one! Now I can get revenge on him with this kid's Quirk!', the villain of mire thought to himself. A crowd surrounded the two entrances as Heroes gather around.
Mt. Lady tried to step above the crowd into the street but couldn't fit. "A single lane street? I can't get in!"
"Fire is my weakness! Someone else should take this one!", Kamui Woods yells as he saves three people wrapped in his branches.
"Thanks, but I've got my hand full here! Where are the firefighters?", a Hero resembling a fire fighter with tap valves attached to his hands. Above his head read,
Pro Hero, Backdraft
LV: 30, ?
, as he questions, "How's it looking over where you are?".
"He's too slippery to get ahold of. But the hostage with the explosion quirk is trying to resist!", answered a large muscular man with a large headband with a yellow and black caution pattern. His title and level read out as,
Pro Hero, Death Arms
LV: 38, ?
, while he tries to get closer to the captor. The Villain then swings his large gooey towards the Heroes as they avoid the strikes.
"It's no good, there's no one here that can stop him! We have to wait for someone who can deal with this to show up!", Kamui shouted as he dodged the villains strikes.
Yagi appears at the edge of the crowd and looks at the previous capture Villian. 'It must have happened then.', as Toshinari recalled.
'I lost track of time and now dealing with that fan led to this! Pathetic… Pathetic!', he rebuked himself as he clamps his left side.
Izuku was walking down the street looking down at the notebook with a miserable expression. 'Even the best of the best said it. Don't cry! You knew already, right?! This is reality and I knew that which is why I tried so hard!', he reasoned as he rubs his nose while sniffling.
Midoriya then looked at a blast of flames along with the crowd gathered as the other side of street.
'Is that the villain from earlier?! Did All Might drop him or…'
"This is my fault, then!", the boy reprimanded himself.
"Why're the heroes just standing?", a person in the crowd stated.
"Seems the Villain's grabbed a middle schooler.", another mentioned. The green-haired lad then lifted his hand to his mouth as his eyes widen in shock.
"Hey, isn't that Villian All Might was chasing?", a pedestrian in the mob remarked.
"All Might? Here really here?!"
"Yeah, I saw him earlier."
"Then what's a hero like him doing right now?!"
The skinny blonde man looks exasperated while Izuku looked guilty as he looked as Katuski creating explosion after explosion. He then saw the eyes of Bakugo as they look like they were asking for help. The green-haired, freckled teen as he rushes past the police and Heroes towards the Villain and his hostage. All the heroes look in shock as he Midoriya ran into the danger ahead.
'Is that Deku?', the hostage though as the Villain wrapped around him turned.
'Why am I running? Doing this? Why?!', questioned Izuku as his notebook falls out of his bag.
"You're dead", gargled the liquid mass as he slugs towards the villain.
'What do I do? What do I do!? Wait… Page 25.', Midoriya comforted himself as he takes off his backpack and throws his backpack at the captor.
DING!
Blue screens appear one after the other:
A skill has been created through a special action.
A skill that uses strength to lunge objects, [Throw], has been created.
A red message box then manifests:
[Throw] (Active) LV1 EXP: 0.0%
A skill that rips apart an object or person using a strong force.
Effect: Increases throwing force by 30%.
A red bar in a beige box with HP on the left side above the miscreant's head went down by 1/8. The freckled-face boy grabbed the goo around Bakugo as he tries to grasp. "Kacchan!", the teenager cried as he clutches Kacchan's head. He pulls and tugs until he most of Katsuki's shoulders while strands of green liquid still stuck to teen.
DING!
Azure screens appear one after the other:
A skill has been created through a special action.
A skill that uses excessive strength, [Rip], has been created.
A red message box then manifests:
[Rip] (Active) LV1 EXP: 0.0%
A skill that rips apart an enemy or an object using a strong force.
Effect: Increases tearing force by 30%.
Midoriya Izuku then rips out Kacchan as he emerged from the villainous being.
'Pathetic… PATHETIC!', motivated All Might as he grows in muscle to the point of being well-defined.
"AAAAAHHHH, I JUST NEEDED TO A LITTLE MORE AND BECAUSE OF YOU! I COULD HAVE WON!", yelled the sludge as a massive hand was about to hit the two teens.
Toshinoari Yagi appears behind Izuku and grabs his hand with his left. All Might then said, "The lesson I left with you… one that I should practice what I proclaim!", preached the Hero.
"PRO HEROES SHOULD BE READY TO RISK THEIR LIFE FOR ANOTHER!", Yagi continued as he pulls back his right fist while blood splattered out of his mouth.
"DETROIT SMASH!", roared the #1 Hero as he punches in front of him. A mammoth gust splatters the Villain as it turns into a tornado that stretches into the sky. The short cyclone dissipated as rain fell on the street, extinguishing the flames. The heroes collected the defeated form of slime scattered around the street. "There was no need for you put yourself in a dangerous situation liked that", Death Arms berated Izuku as he looks down.
"That quirk of yours was awesome and you seem really tough!", A hero praised Bakugo as he looks toward Midoriya.
'I wanted to say sorry to All Might but I guess I will have to leave him a message when I get home.", Izuku thought to himself as he walked into his neighborhood.
"Hey Deku! I didn't ask you to save me! As if you could! How dare a gaming Quirkless fool like you to pity me. Trying to brownnose me?! Do you even think you can mock me! Stupid otaku!", wrathfully declared the boisterous teen as he stomps in the opposite direction.
'Think he also sprained my neck, too. Whatever', Midoriya smirked as he walked home until, "I AM HERE!", shouted All Might as he slides in from the corner.
"All Might?! What are you doing here? What happened to the reporters", responded the shocked teen.
"I shaked them off quite easily as I'm All Mi-!", coughed Toshinori as blood splashed from his mouth as his muscles diminished.
"Kid… I came here to give my gratitude and take back what I said earlier… I also have an offer."
"Huh?"
"Without me hearing your story, I would have been nothing more than muscles and hypocrisy! So, I thank you!"
"That… It was all my fault! I got in your way… even though I'm Quirkless, I even dared to ask you–",
"Exactly! Of All the people at that incident, it was you, though fearful and Quirkless, who responded! You are the one who inspired me to act."
"Most the top Heroes show signs of greatness when they are young. Many of those people claim that their bodies moved on their own before they could even think! That is what happened to you back then, wasn't?"
"YES…", Izuku said as he tears welled as while falling to his knees.
"You CAN be a HERO.", All Might finished as The Gamer cried down on the ground from hearing such words.
