"Shit!"

Why was this happening to him? All he wanted to do was to go on lots of adventures, maybe save a princess, and become a famous adventurer like All Might was! Sure, he never really thought that there was a chance it would happen, and he was aware of the dangers, but he really didn't think that he'd die on his first quest!

"Oh crap oh crap oh crap!"

First quests were supposed to be easy! Not giant wolfspiders!

Izuku slid under a random log that had fallen and down into a ditch that was home to a small creek. Just in time for that log to be shattered into splinters by a pair of slobbering wolf jaws that could easily swallow a horse! A giant spider leg slammed into the side of the ditch sending dirt flying and making Izuku ever so slightly grateful that he had brown pants.

Wolfspiders weren't supposed to get this big! Not in the slightest! They were just supposed to be the size of a cat with an abnormally large dog head! They were great house pets! Not a pet the size of a house!

"Seriously!" Izuku scrambled up onto his feet - mostly - and ran forward trying to avoid what was more than likely certain death. "Why is this happening to me?"

He was born under the stars of the Deku sign, that meant he was supposed to have good luck! It was a really great sign for a hero, in theory at any rate. It was good for casters, rangers, and rogues, which Izuku wasn't. He was a swordmage, which wasn't the best class in the world as anything it could do a fighter or caster could do better, and those were two of the most common classes in the world. Then there was his Quirk, a special ability that almost everyone had; if he had something like spell strike, or still spell, then it would have been a lot better, instead Izuku's Quirk was probably the most boring it could have possibly been.

Ambidextrous: In short, anything he could do with one hand he could do the other, it made things like dual wielding or lock picking much easier. On its own it was fine, rogues liked it but it didn't do anything that other quirks couldn't do better.

The problem with all of this was that luck didn't help with swordsmages, and a swordmage required one hand to be free for casting spells, so he couldn't dual wield. In short, none of his stuff worked together and he should have given up and been a merchant or a farmer like his mother wanted!

Well, at least if the giant wolfspider had its way, his misery would be gone like real quick.

Even if he wanted to fight back, he couldn't! He had dropped his sword and his spell book back when the creature had first appeared and started chasing him around the forest!

He did not want to be eaten by an oversized house pet! Izuku ducked under another fallen tree and leapt over some rocks narrowly avoiding the creatures snapping maw or it's large hairy legs that slammed down with the force of thunder. Why the hell was this thing so persistent? What did he do to earn its wrath?

"Hey dumbass! Look, there's a giant elk over in that direction!" He pointed towards the large six legged deer with white fur and green symbols etched into its fur. Fuck, did he really just try to get the wolfspider to go attack a forest spirit? Shit shit shit!

If either the forest spirit or the wolfspider gave two shits about each other, it was in the mutual understanding that the wolfspider was going to eat the loud obnoxious little shit running through the forest. As evident by the way the forest spirit calmly ate some grass and the wolfspider promptly tried to bite Izuku one more time for good measure.

It missed. Barely.

But even then, Izuku could feel its hot moist breath snarling behind him as he continued to run along the ditch, hoping that the low angle would give him just enough space to avoid the creature's snapping jaws. This had to be revenge for that one time he squashed a spider wasn't it?

Come to think of it. "You shouldn't even exist in the first place!"

If the creature was aware of its unusual existence, it didn't even care. Rather all it wanted to think about was having Izuku for its next meal. And lunch time was soon.

Izuku felt his heart sink when he looked up ahead. He was running towards a cliff. Of course there was a cliff, why wouldn't he randomly pick the direction that led straight towards a cliff where he could instead have the lovely choice of falling to his death instead of getting eaten alive. He'd probably still get eaten though. The wolfspider could easily climb down a cliff. If not, then then something else would likely show up and eat him.

In short, he was probably going to get eaten today.

But he wasn't going to let this jackass be the one to eat him!

Izuku ran faster, his legs screaming at him, and his feet were making a very persuasive argument to buy some better shoes. The edge of the forest was coming up, the cliff face opened up into a valley that looked to be surrounded by a cliff, almost like the entire area had been carved out and pushed down into the ground. The area even looked to have less trees than the forest he was currently running through, and the ones it did have looked smaller and younger.

It didn't feel natural.

What did feel natural was the fear of death that was currently punching his apparent fear of heights into the ground and telling him to jump. With a very loud and very high pitched scream, Izuku jumped narrowly avoiding the the jaws of death once more, the cloak his mother had made him was not so lucky.

Nearly one hundred feet separated him from the ground. The cliff was higher than he thought it was. A lot higher. So now he had plenty of time to come to terms with his death. Well not really, he was now falling really really fast towards his death. If he got reincarnated, he wanted to come back as something more awesome than some kid that died on their first quest!

Reality had a much different idea.

Instead of pain followed by death, he was greeted by a cold water swallowing him whole and giving him just enough cushion to hit the bottom. He still got a lot of pain. And now he was wet. And drowning. Thank fuck he actually learned how to swim! Surprisingly few adventures did. Izuku looked around the clear murky waters he found himself in and couldn't see shit. So if there was a giant lake monster ready to eat him, he wouldn't see it coming.

He swam up, desperate for a breath of air and nearly swallowed more than one breath of water on his way up. When he got to the surface, the reality that he had no time to rest was presented to him when he saw the head of that giant wolfspider glaring down at him. It started to climb down the dry brown cliff wall with a great amount of ease.

"Fuck me." Could today just be over already? It felt like he had been running for hours. With a deep breath of air, Izuku headed for the shore. Every part of his body felt like it was ready to fall off and was just begging for death. He really didn't want to die here, in the middle of nowhere, to be eaten by a giant asshole and turned into silk and or shit.

Izuku stumbled up onto the shore and noted that the wolf spider was halfway down the cliff by now. He did have to admire the creatures desire to eat him, that was some next level tenacity at work. Almost made Izuku wish he had that kind of drive about not dying. Technically he did but he did lack important features like being a giant killing machine that made it possible.

He was spent. At this point, his best bit was to find a cave or somewhere to hide before that creature managed to find and eat him.

That and he was fairly certain he had a broken leg and or foot.

Swallowing the pain, Izuku advanced forward intent on getting as far away from the creature as he could.

It was near the center of the clearing that he found something.

Sitting upon a stone that was bathed in sunlight and surrounded by short grass with not even a sapling growing nearby was a sword. A broken sword, shattered in two. It didn't look like any kind of material that Izuku had ever seen before, it wasn't iron, nor steel, not even the silver of mithril. Rather the material of this blade seemed to shift from blue at the base where the hilt was to red at the tip, blending in a lovely purplish color where the two halves of the blade were snapped.

The blade's beauty laid more in just the strange color of the metal. Runes ran along the blade in a language that Izuku didn't understand blending together and forming a kind of art, even the hilt was a thing of beauty. He grabbed the hilt of the sword. It was lighter than he expected it to be and the blade was still sharp, and the awkward point made from where the two halfs had broken could be used to stab well enough. Still, for a hunk of metal sitting in the sun, he expected it would be much warmer.

He went down to grab the other half of the blade; if he made it out of here he might be able to get it reforged, then he would have a sword of his own. There was even a good chance that this sword was magical. The top of the blade was warm. Warm enough to almost sting when he touched it.

A snarl from behind him startled him and he grabbed the bare broken blade and squeezed tight, he could feel the shallow cut as he spun to confront the beast, his warm blood sizzled on the hot blade's surface. There was some real magic in these swords; he knew that. Probably not enough to take on a giant wolfspider, but maybe enough to make it regret eating him.

The beast growled at Izuku, its tongue licking its lips before it unleashed a great bark that was at least part roar.

Naturally, Izuku roared right back at it, feeling the blood drip from his hand and spit flying from his mouth. He wasn't going to run anymore! Mostly because he couldn't, but that was besides the point. He poured his energy into the blades hoping that they would activate. "Bring it on, asshole!"

The great snarling maw of the wolfspider opened wide as it launched forward propelled by its eight large legs.

"Allow me to take care of this, Master Izuku."

Time seemed to slow as the right half of his body felt cold, like resting in the shade on a hot day. A flurry of snow appeared and a woman walked out from it. Her long pure white hair fluttered in the wind, her icy blue eyes were fixed onto the beast in front of her and she wore a white and blue robe that was both simple and ornate in its design. She held up a single hand the snow gathering around her.

"What?! No way I'm letting you have all the fun!"

The ground to his left burned, heating up his body like standing next to the fire after coming in from the rain. Another woman appeared, this one with short flaming red hair with charcoal eyes stepped out, she looked at him and smiled for a second before looking towards the beast, flame resting in the palm of both of her hands. Her clothing looked similar to the white haired girl's, only burnt at the edges and a red orange color that was much shorter, closer to a tunic than a robe.

A wall of ice came from his right and a torrent of fire came from his left.

In that moment, caught between two conflicting magical forces Izuku almost felt pity for the creature that was attempting to eat him just moments ago. Almost. Both attacks blasted the beast with enough force to knock it away from Izuku and then promptly kill it as it was impaled onto the cliff wall with the ice while being burned by the fire. Honestly, he had no idea what the fuck just happened.

"Ko, you really didn't need to do that." The white haired beauty turned to the redhead, taking a careful step in front of Izuku. Izuku only had an inch or two on the maiden, but that didn't feel like much. She carried herself with such poise and beauty that he had to suck in his breath just by looking at her. "My Ice was more than enough to handle it."

The redhead - Ko - stomped in front of him as well her arms crossed in front of her chest and pouted. "You never let me have any fun, Sho! This was our first time out in a long time!

Izuku looked between the two girls, Sho and Ko. They looked really similar to each other, closer to each other than even sisters would. But they did have a fair number of differences besides, hair, eye, and clothing, Ko was also a few inches shorter than Sho was and her chest was, uhh, much less pronounced than Sho's was. They both had long pointed ears that pointed straight out from their heads. So they weren't exactly human.

"I know, and that's why you should have let me handle it. Look at yourself, you're already cutting into Izuku." Sho gestured towards Izuku's left hand where he was still very much bleeding and still very much holding onto the broken blade.

"Yeah? So! That's why we were even able to come out! Because of that, the blood contract has been sealed!" Ko puffed up her tone less rigid than her sisters.

Izuku blinked and looked at the sword he carried then at the two beautiful girls that had appeared out of nowhere. "Umm, excuse me, but how exactly do you know my name? And what are you two talking about?"

"Ahh! Where are my manners!" Sho took a step back and bowed at the waist towards him. "Master Izuku, we are-"

"I'm Ko, she's Sho, we're that sword you found and because you put your blood on us, we're now your sword," Ko interrupted with both hands behind the back of her head, she kicked one of her long bare legs for no reason showing off her shoeless feat. Compared to Sho she looked drastically under dressed, more worse for wear, she even had a red scar that covered much of the skin around her left eye.

Sho shot up and marched over. She looked a lot more put together than Ko did; she even had shoes on and her robe actually went all the way down to her ankles. "Ko, you ruined our chance to leave a good first impression!"

"What are you talking about? We just saved his life from that thing! We already made a good first impression! Your boring introduction would take too long anyways." Ko waved off Sho like it was nothing.

"Alright," Izuku nodded and looked at the broken sword in his hand. Well, it was his sword now apparently. "So-"

The world went black.

"Oh dear," Sho's calm tranquil voice drifted into his thoughts.

"See I told you yours would have taken too long."

"Would you-"

Izuku dreamed about two sisters bickering over him while he finally fell asleep.

AN: I'm finally getting like three things out of the way with this fic. Fantasy AU, Shoko being twins, and someone falling in love with a sword.
