Bang

Listening in on Izuku Midoriya's life could be described with that one onomatopoeia and for the same reason he was never sure he could be a hero. His weak Quirk, "The Gamer," which allowed him to quantify people's strength as a set of 5 stats. Strength and Agility were pretty basic, They were strength and speed of the target, Vigor was their durability and contributed to two stats, Hp which represented how many hits they could take and Focus which was something like stanimia. Intelligence and Wisdom were stats that would show off how well your memory worked, or how much info you could process. Wisdom also contributed to focus, more than Vigor did.

Now I bet you are wondering what that all had to do with that one sound, Midoriya's childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugo, had developed a Quirk that allowed him to cause explosions at the tips of his fingers, and the center of his palms. Now this kid loved to pick on Midoriya, all because no one else could see his quirk. Now the quantifying of people's strength wasn't the only thing his quirk did. It made him into a game character himself. No injury is truly permanent and his mind doesn't register things like pain or exhaustion in the same way. He could level up and gain skills, just by repetition, hence his level 10 dish cleaning skill and a level 1 cooking skill, from the few times he has had to. Although he himself is only level 2, all the bullying counted as combat enough for him to get some exp. The one thing that stuck to Midoriya more than anything, it was his nickname that Bakugo gave him, Deku or "one who is useless."

Deku himself had always wanted to be a hero, and go to UA, the most prestigious Hero School in the world. On one of his last few days in middle school he decided to look over his stats while listening to the teacher, "Well I know all of you really want to go into the hero course right! Expect…" He looked over a piece of paper… "Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo want to try out of UA's hero course." The entire class went to silence and looked at Deku, in which he snapped back into reality and noticed the whole class looking at him.

"Umm yes sir?!" The class erupted with laughter with whispers in between, "Look at him faking that Quirk of his, I mean who does he think he is fooling?" No one really believed he had his quirk, but whatever. The worse thing was that he could never really get into RPGs to understand his power more. Of course he still recorded down any hero's stats in a notebook when he could. The bell rang for the end of class as everyone cleared out except for the good ole friend, Katsuki Bakugo.

Bakugo walked in front of his desk, slamming his hands on it and brandishing his explosive power. "So you think you can compete with me bitch? You think your worthless ass could even come close to my excellence? Hell you aren't even fit to lick my damn shoes," he snarled out, his face only looking for and more furious, Deku stood up and looked him in the eyes.

"No my quirk isn't nearly as impressive as yours, BUT I WILL GET INTO UA AND PROVE YOU WRONG," He covered his mouth as he said this and fear filled his eyes and face, draining the color out of him. Bakugo just growled and worked on his way out.

"If you really are a game character why can't you use magic, fucker?" Bakugo said quietly as he left slamming the door, leaving Deku with the thought,' 'Why haven't I tried to use magic? A ton of game characters can, and they just use some sort of energy!' This thought put deku into overdrive about researching magic systems from a lore perspective on his phone as he walked home from school.

On his walk he found one that said it was just focusing your energy to a point, and making it take shape. So he tried it, and he gained a skill "Basic Focus Control Lv1." He opened it and read the skill, noticing that his focus had gone down one point.

Basic Focus Control Lv1 : This skill allows someone to move the focus they use in their body and move it in the air around them, some famous magic users from history would call this mana, or chi. Drains 2 focus a second.

"Yes!" In his eyes he did it, he could use magic, however barely possible it was, and now he looked at his focus, seeing it was only XX and realized he had to get his stats up asap. He was already missing two just from moving it in his own his walk home would soon be interrupted as behind him a sewer grate burst off the roadside, and as soon as he turned, was covered in a greenish black slime, while it said something along the lines of, "This will be a great disguise, plain and boring!"

"MMNNF," Deku screamed out as he couldn't breathe. He got a pop up from his quirk saying, Status effect suffocation: You are unable to breath and are losing .5% of your hp a second. Adjusting for Vigor you are now losing .4999% of hp a second. 'Great, I finally figured out the best part of my Quirk and I'm going to die, unless I can do something.' He started to try to tear the slime off this mouth over and over, fingers sinking into the grotesque and slimy person until he got a pop up, his health reaching 40% and then another right after New Skill: Tear off Acquired! He did it, he got something He didn't care what it did and he decided to use it, ripping the slime out of his mouth while doing so. He let in a breath of fresh air and got a notification as he felt a hit on his head. Status effect: KO in effect, You will now be rendered unconscious. As soon as he saw that, he passes out, while feeling a great deal of wind.

Feeling a slapping over and over on his face, Deku shot awake, only to be completely shocked at the man standing before him, All Might, the number one hero! "C-c-c-c-ould you s-s-s-s-ign my notebook please!," Deku had barely stuttered out.

"Hahaha! Check it, I already have! I must go now to make sure our little villain doesn't try to escape." All might started to stretch and he crouched down.

"WAIT! I have one question for you All Might, Is it possible to become a hero when you only just started to understand your quirk at my age?" All Might stopped in his tracks, figuring this would be something he could answer quickly.

"Of course Kid, Hell I only got a hang of mine right after Highschool started!" With that, All Might had lept away creating a great gust of wind, knocking Deku over. He stared up with awe as All Might basically flew away. He noticed a pop up after he had left. Congrats, You have leveled up! You now have 5 more points to spend. He started back on his way home, making sure to keep moving his "focus" around and try to get a feel for it, and what he may be able to do with it. He just figured, why stop at learning focus and try to learn how to fight with something, because his hand are not going to work on villains like the one he had just dealt with. Once he got home and opened the door, his mother greeted him and he looked her in the eyes.

"I need some sort of tool, so I can fight. I won't be able to be a hero with my hands alone. Whether we sign me up for martial arts, or we just get me a blunt object, that is up to you." His mother stood and looked at him with shock. 'Just what had happened to him while he was on his way home today?' She reached up and put her hand on his shoulder gently.

"Okay, there is a Dojo nearby that can teach you. They specialize in teaching mutants, but they should be able to teach you. Just please be careful, I know your Quirk isn't as strong as others, so you may be picked on here." She looked at her son with worry, her eyes tearing up lightly. She pulled him in for a hug and he returned the favor, holding her tightly and rubbing her back.

"I'll be fine mom, I just need to get stronger so I can keep up with other heroes."
