78Hello y'all! This is Forzarismo with something new today! Now, imma be honest with y'all I have always wanted to try my hands on making a fic involving My Hero Academia, and now here we are! Is a work in progress, but nevertheless I hope you all enjoy~!
Chapter 1: Evil Begets Evil
Y'know, finding myself waking up on a pile of grass is certainly not the strangest part of my day today.
Not even the fact that grass isn't even itchy for that matter.
No, the strangest part is the ten meter tall demon-like thing towering over me.
With a face shrouded by dark smoke, showing nothing but a singular glowing eye staring at me unsettlingly along with two horns jutting around his head, and a body covered in futuristic armor that no doubt looked pristine and superb when new…
Am I in hell?
"Bruh, does my ranch really look like hell to you?" The demon deadpans at me, placing both of his hands as he looks at me with… disappointment? "Also, I am not a demon, though I guess my current appearance doesn't help much with that does it?" Said not-demon then engulfs itself in flames that are a myriad of colors that begin to shrink in mere seconds. Soon enough the flames disperse and what lays before my eyes is… a latino?
Well if he is a latino, he's a damn huge one at that.
"Yeah, that works too. Mexican if you wanna be more specific, but I digress. My name is Faust Herrera-Cortez, and I have brought you here to my humble abode to give you an opportunity Manny." The tall man introduces himself, putting his hand out so I can shake.
Hesitantly taking it, Faust almost painfully clasps his hand over mine and for a moment I can't help but think I made a mistake.
Suddenly Faust lets out a bark of laughter. "Trust me, compared to the offer given to me when I was in your position, your option is far from being a mistake."
"Okay, can you please stop reading my mind!" I can't help but shout, with Faust backing away with his hands in the air.
"Alright bruh, calm down. No need to get all uppity. Was just messing with you is all." Faust remarks, adjusting his wide brimmed hat. "Alright look, you interest me and I have an offer for you on the table if you wanna take it." He starts off, conjuring a table with a large umbrella and two seats as he talks.
Taking a seat on the conjured chair, I feel a tad wary of the offer, and I wanna know what it entails. "Can you give me the specifics before I even consider taking this offer?" I inquire, Faust's face remaining neutral through it all.
"Of course, I don't mind at all. To start with, let me just tell you that this is an experiment of sorts. I plan on giving two people two differing powers, both of which are crucial into me achieving the strength I now have. The first guy already got his part, and now I am talking to you to see if you are interested in partaking in this." Faust starts off, leaning into his chair as his body relaxes. "Though you can always deny the offer if that is what you wish, I'll just send you back to your life with you being none the wiser of any of this taking place." Faust starts off. Though his face turns serious for a moment. "Though, if you want to live longer than a week I'd refrain from going back to your old life."
"What? Why?" I can't help but ask, not sure if Faust is still messing with me this time or if he is speaking the truth.
A holographic screen abruptly appears before me, showing myself in third person buying a lotto ticket while taking my younger brother and his girlfriend to the store to buy some snacks. "Well, as you can see you bought yourself a lottery ticket, and congratulations by the way you will win roughly half a billion dollars once the government gets their cut. Of course you go out and get all of your winnings immediately in cash and begin to plan out on how you want to spend your money. Honestly a fair amount of things you had planned are things I'd have done myself if I were in your shoes. Clearing all of your family's debt, buying each of them new cars, setting up trust funds, doing everything you can to have your family set for the future. Unfortunately for you, your younger brother Julio's girlfriend is a damn conniving snake, and sets a plan to have you robbed of your wealth before you can even begin those plans you had in mind." Faust narrates, and as he speaks the screen accurately portrays what he is saying to the most minute detail.
It shows me getting a lotto ticket and subsequently winning, it shows me celebrating my newfound wealth around my family members, and it shows my lil bro's girl plotting with her equally greedy family members with the fucking bitch being head of the entire operation.
"Of course like with everything, nothing ever goes according to plan." Faust adds, and the screen shows me what I soon realize is my last day alive. I see my home being broken into, I see many of that bitch's relatives all wearing ski masks and armed with weapons breaching each and every room before finding me and demanding my wealth.
And then… my lil bro shows up injured and holding a gun in his hands. Somehow he discovered the whole damn thing, and yet another screen appears showing me that he had in fact been with that bitch of a girl of his before she got too cocky and broke up with him while snitching on herself as to what she and her family were going to do to me.
Needless to say, while my lil bro did get stabbed, at least the bitch died in the ditch she dug herself in.
Going back to the other screen, my lil bro walks through the busted door and starts shooting at everyone who he saw as an intruder. If this were an action movie he would've come out of this whole situation alive, maybe injured and banged up, but alive nonetheless.
Unfortunately, real life is far from such a fantasy.
The screen cuts to the aftermath of it all. It shows police and ambulances surrounding my home, and many of the intruders getting arrested after being treated. And then it cuts to my room, where I see both my lil bro and I dead to the world, both our lives cut early before we can do anything.
"Need some tissues man?" Faust's voice calls to me, breaking my gaze from the screen. Looking down at the table I notice tears have been dripping down my face and landing on the table.
I can't help but feel angry about all this. "This is some bullshit man, that can't be true!" I shout at Faust, who despite my yelling remains calm and stone faced.
"The truth always hurts man, trust me I should know." The screens soon disappear from the table, and Faust pulls out a box of tissues and places them in front of me. "If it's any consolation, everyone involved in that crime against you and your family that are still alive end up arrested with life in prison, and your family opens a charity foundation in both of your names that focuses on helping troubled youth find opportunities beyond what the typical ghetto shit that tends to happen in your city." Faust adds forth this new wave of information to me.
Well shit… it's either accept the offer Faust is giving me or to go back to my old life and die not even a week later. Not really giving me a choice here. "So what's the offer?" I ask Faust again.
"Well, have you ever heard of the Gamer System?" Faust asks, and the influx of memories of all the times my lil bro talked about these fanfictions he has read come forth from my mind.
"I… am aware of the concept, yes?" I speak out slowly, wondering where this is going.
"Well, not to sound cliche here but congratulations on being my first ever nominated person for my Gamer System!" Faust announces, the dusk sky brightening with fireworks popping beyond our vicinity.
"Ah damnit… alright what does it entail?" I ask, exasperated that one of my brother's corny hypotheticals is coming to fruition.
"Well, you'll have access to my first ever prototype of the gamer system programmed by yours truly to start with. You'll gain multiple benefits from being a gamer such as having [Gamer's Mind] and [Gamer's Body] each of which are great boons to have when entering an unknown world and needing to survive. Also as you level up not only do you get more powerful, but you gain access to a bunch of new features! You also get to traverse through many worlds you once thought were mere works of fiction! What's there not to like? Now, what do you say?" Faust asks me after selling the idea to me.
Honestly it doesn't seem all that bad. Granted depending on which world I get sent to I could be fucked regardless but the opportunity is really compelling to me. Now I won't lie to myself and say I have a step-by-step plan to pull myself through any challenge ahead of me, because my weeb of a brother is more leaned towards that than I am with all of his hypotheticals that he discussed with me when we passed the time. However, despite all that I like to think that I could work with what I am given should the proper opportunities arise. Meeting Faust's eyes with my own, I give him a smile and nod. "Alright, consider me sold. So what happens next?"
Faust smile widens and the holographic screen appears once again. "Reporting to you live from Los Angeles, this is Gerald Alder here with the latest news of the explosion that has claimed the lives of thirteen people in the industrial district. Just about half an hour ago there was a loud and mysterious explosion that went off somewhere in the city's industrial district, which soon turned out to be a van that was for better lack of a term, vaporized. The only thing able to be salvaged from the wreckage was the vehicle's license plate and some of the limbs of the unfortunate people who died here, of which thanks to an anonymous tip we now know the name of one of the victims, La'Tanya Rashiki Milton." The video then cuts to a Instagram video of My lil bro's bitch of a girlfriend screeching like a howler monkey alongside her "gurlfriends" as they enjoy whatever kind of alcohol they're illegally partaking in.
Honestly, I can't believe what I am watching. Looking up to Faust he simply smiles at me and opens his mouth to speak. "Think of that as a signing bonus for taking my offer." At that, the screen disappears and suddenly I find myself in a white room with a naked body that is more akin to an extremely life-like mannequin that's missing all the features that make a person.
Welcome to Character Creation!
Please make your new avatar!
The words appear before my very eyes and I am faced with a dilemma: Do I simply make myself or should I redesign my body to how I go all out with it?
If it helps, your starting world will be My Hero Academia. So if you really want to blend in, keep in mind that you'll be landing in Japan two years prior to the start of the series. You will start off as a child in the world and this is merely to show how your avatar will look once fully grown, so do keep that in mind before finalizing your creation.
Well, that really does help simplify things. Let's see… I don't wanna be too tall all things considered. While it certainly helps with the intimidation factor when it needs to, I want my new body to reach a more… sensible height.
And so, I scale my final height to be 6'1.
Following the body type, I am given multiple presets inspired by multiple different examples, such as Zoro from One Piece and Gaston from Beauty & The Beast, all the way to disturbingly feminine builds like Totsuka Saika and Hideyoshi. In the end though, I chose the preset that mirrors Hijikata Toshizō from Fate/Grand Order.
Though… I am not fond of how pale his skin is. Needs a bit more color if you ask me. So, adjusting the scale a bit, I give the body a more peach complexion to make it look more healthy.
Next are the hair and eye color. Hmm… well I will be heading to a Japan that has shown to have such incredibly diverse features, so I am pretty sure I can get away with whatever choice I take regardless. Scrolling through the color wheel, I am honestly mesmerized by the amount of options I have. For hair color I scrolled through multiple colors ranging from silver to dark blue before settling on a dark burgundy for my hair color. As for my eyes, that was honestly harder once I chose the hair color since so many different colors and shades complimented it. After scouring through the color wheel I ended up giving myself a pearlescent gold for my irises.
After that I just did some minor adjustments here and there until I got something I felt I was pleased with the results. Looking over my new avatar body I can't help but feel proud of myself-huh? Oh, can't forget that. Two or three extra inches wouldn't hurt right? There we go, now this is good!
Please enter your name!
Name huh… Well, since I am gonna be in Japan for the time being might as well blend in all the way. Thankfully I have a name in mind already, and it pays homage to my favorite fighting game series.
You have entered: Fukurou Mishima
Is this correct?
Yes, yes it is and I am ready to go down into 23rd Century Japan and to flip that script!
Not so fast Fukurou, there is still one more thing you need to do.
Quirk Selection
Select one of the quirks on the list or hit this button for a random quirk.
Oh, yup! Now this is what I am talking about! Lemme see the list! Okay let's see here…
…
…
Faust? Why are all these quirks so… average?
Well, I gotta balance it somehow. You can either select any of these average quirks or you can take your chances with the random quirk option if you want a strong quirk from the get-go!
Oh my goodness… This one just gives me a minor telekinesis capable of picking up things that weigh at most five kilograms! And why would I choose a quirk that merely doubles my strength!? That's not even mentioning the mutation quirk that gives me the abilities of a house cat! Not even a mountain lion or a bobcat, but a house cat! What is this bullshit! It even says I am more susceptible to being the host of toxoplasma! Hell nah, I ain't dealing with that shit!
Looking over at other ones just paints an even worse opinion of picking any of these. Like, why would I want spider fang teeth? Not even the full spider, just have my teeth replaced with spider fangs and their subsequent venom. And who in their right mind would want to have the power of levitating but I can only levitate an inch above the ground!?
Nah, none of these quirks speak to me. Hah… I hate gambling, but at this point I have no choice.
Random Quirk it is!
You have chosen the random quirk option!
Rolling for your quirk!
…
You have received: Phagogenesis!
[Phagogenesis]
In Hunter X Hunter, this term was used primarily to describe the Chimera Ant's main ability, which is to reproduce new offspring with the abilities and features of those the queen consumes. This quirk is similar to that, in that it gives you the ability to take the quirks of those you directly kill.
I feel my eyes widen like saucers at the sight of what I received. This… This is a fucking game-changer! Granted it's like a more limited and violent version of All For One, but hell, any ability like that in this world is a fucking game-changer in the right hands!
Now does this mean that I will be killing whoever catches my interest left and right? Of course not! Not only is that fucking retarded and stupid in both the short and long run, but I'd likely die before I can even accomplish anything noteable. I'm no sociopath, and what's the point of living if you don't enjoy it? Nah, any murders I do will be involving people who are firmly deserving of getting unalived.
Shigaraki and Toga come in the forefront of my mind, Overhaul too. Sure the first two have some sob stories and all, but that doesn't excuse them for their actions. Overhaul… yeah he's just gonna die, simple as that.
Oh yeah! Can't forget to give you these before you head on to your journey!

With that said, the entire process of sending me to My Hero Academia went far more smoothly than anticipated. It was a literal blink and you'll miss it moment, as one second I was still looking upon a screen, and the next thing I know I am suddenly inside of a building with all of the lights turned off, with the only light coming from the windows itself.
I am suddenly hit with an influx of memories that belong to my avatar. In this world, Fukurou Mishima, or Mishima Fukurou as he would be known here in Japan, is an orphaned thirteen year old child who has been alone for almost his entire life. First off, his mother died during childbirth, and his biological father died not too soon after, being a casualty from a large-scale destructive battle between a hero and a villain. He is basically homeschooled in the orphanage he is located in, and usually spends his free time sneaking into buildings to see if he can steal anything valuable to sell for a quick buck to not only help himself, but to help the other orphans in the orphanage. It also states that while he indeed does have a quirk, no one has been able to discern what his quirk actually is aside from having a decently high quirk factor.
Huh, gives me a lot more wriggle room than expected.
Looking into his more recent memories, looks like he got on a train using some money he pickpocketed from some asshole civilian who bumped into him and left for a village to do some sightseeing. When he saw this building was empty due to an evacuation order inputted by some heroes due to the appearance of a dangerous villain, he decided to take advantage of it and to rob the place clean of whatever he can get his hands on, and is currently on the fourth floor.
Well, why shouldn't I oblige myself in such an activity? Sure, it may seem a bit hypocritical of me but I am in a new world with little to my name, so I need whatever advantage I can get. So with that said, time to get started!
Walking through the office cubbies, I find the occasional watch and gold bracelet, with some cash and wallets here and there. While I don't know the price of gold, I have collected thirty thousand yen so far. Don't know how much that is in American currency, but I hope that's a lot. I then shove it all into my baggy pockets and set my sights on the manager's office and let myself right in.
Once inside, I can immediately tell that this manager of this place certainly has money to squander. A lot of the things here look really damn valuable, like this miniature grandfather clock. Picking it up, I begin inspecting it and surprise surprise it's made in Switzerland! I then go to open the drawers, but unfortunately they are locked. Looking around the office, I notice a cabinet opened slightly, practically inviting me to rob it. Opening it shows a closet with multiple coats and vests in there, each and every one of them looking really damn expensive as hell.
Huh, Burberry still exists here. Looks like the manager of this place has damn good tastes. I'd stuff em into your inventory if I were you.
Wha-!? Faust you're still here!?
Of course I am! I am currently overseeing how the system is working and by extension yourself. I guess you can call me your Admin. Also, I forgot to mention to you that you have an Inventory Option available for you to place anything you want in there. Just mentally call out [Inventory] and it'll be prepared to take in whatever it is in your hands.
Wow… that's a damn good ability! I could rob a place clean and everyone would be none the wiser!
Man, it's crazy what one would do if they realize they can get away with it.
I start throwing in the coats and vests into my inventory, along with all the other stuff I have pilfered and are stored in my pockets. Once I have that done I then begin searching the hanger for any "hidden" spots that could potentially hold something valuable.
Unfortunately, before I can even continue halfway through searching the closet, there was an audible boom that caused the room I am in to shake just enough for dust to fall from the ceiling. Looking out the window, I notice a big pink guy with blonde hair fighting against two heroes and-OH SHIT!
Throwing myself towards the far end from the room, the building shakes like never before, and even a big chunk of the floor collapses in a shower of thick, dark smoke with only a man's growl letting me know as to who is down there. Looking around frantically in search of anything to protect myself with, I find a jagged and broken steel pipe laying to the side and grab it as quickly and as quietly as I can. Slowly inching towards the door that is now ajar thanks to that pink man, I catch a glimpse of the big pink man two stories below me and realize that he is in fact someone I know of already.
Muscular.
…
Holy shit.
Holyshitholyshitholyshit!
What the fuck is this guy doing here!? Faust!? Where the hell did you send me!?
I sent you about two years before Izuku's story starts of course! This is merely one of the events that happen prior to that. In fact…
Quest added
[A Legend Begins…]
Objective: All greats have to start somewhere, and an opportunity has arisen for you to take! Defeat Muscular and show the world what you are capable of!
Reward: 10,000 EXP, Greatly Increased Reputation with The Water Hose Duo, Massively Increased Reputation with Kota, Increased Reputation with Mandalay, Slightly Increased Reputation with the Wild-Wild Pussycats, and x2 Rare Loot Crates.
Optional Objective: Give Muscular a more permanent end.
Reward: Muscular's Quirk, 20,000 EXP, and an Epic Loot Crate.
Wait, are you really suggesting that I go and try to kill Muscular!? What kind of fucking drugs are you on!?
I don't do drugs. Never understood the appeal. If I ever want to act like a dumbass in front of a bunch of people, I'll just make another jackass film.
Wait, you made a movie-!? That's not important! Even if the rewards are quite convincing to do this, how in the hell can I even accomplish this!?
You have the necessary tool in your hands already.
Wha-!? How is this gonna help me!? Muscular is a damn terrifying villain that tanked a Detroit Smash from Izuku! What the hell is a broken pipe gonna do against that!?
Be that as it may, quirked people are still human for the most part by the end of the day. You got this.
Ah… fuck it!
Slowly backing away from the broken doorway, I sneak myself around until I am completely behind Muscular, who looks to be angry at the two heroes who are laid unconscious before him. Analyzing him thoroughly, I take note that his muscle fibers are covering his entire body, leaving no opening…
…Except for his head and neck.
"Urgh… you fuckers! You got my fucking eye! Ogh… when I am done with the two of you, you're going to regret ever becoming heroes!" Muscular snarls out, uncaring at the fact that the Water Hose Duo before the two of us are unconscious.
Hah… okay, gotta find my opportunity to strike… oh man this is gonna fail, I know it is…!
As I wait patiently for an opening, I feel my mouth dry and I do my best to quiet my breathing as much as I can. The quieter the better.
And then, Muscular takes a step forward, but the moment he does it looks like his damaged eye flares in pain, forcing him to stop and to reach for his eye as he winces in pain. And just as he does, his quirk stutters for a moment, receding a bit back into his body and overall just making him more vulnerable.
There it is! It's do or die!
"Gah! Motherfucker! Oh, I will take my time with you bi-!" That's as far as Muscular got before I stabbed the sharp part of the steel pipe into the back of his skull and through the neck with the combined force of my strength and gravity. The end result of my attack genuinely shocked me, as the pipe went through with more ease than I thought, and to be honest the fact that I am still alive can only mean I did good.
But if that's the case, then why is Muscular still standing up?
Slowly tilting my body around Muscular's shoulders, I go to see his face and-OH MY GOD HE'S STILL ALIVE!
Thinking fast, I pull the jagged pipe using my full leg strength, and honestly that took way more effort than stabbing it through in the first place, but in what felt like a long time but really were only a couple of seconds I was able to yank it out. The moment I felt it had no resistance was also the same moment Muscular let out an angry gurgling sound and made a step forward before falling. In my panic, I brought down the pipe over his head as hard as I could, making him audibly gurgle even more just as his face and chest met with shattered concrete and debris.
"Just stop breathing, just stop breathing, just stop breathing…" I repeat the mantra over and over as I keep bashing his head with my makeshift weapon until I just couldn't, even when his quirk receded back into his body I still didn't stop. When I involuntarily dropped my pipe, I stared at the results of my work and I am met with the sight of Muscular's head having been literally caved in from the back, notable chunks of gray matter having splattered out from the creases and cuts made from my strikes.

Ping!
You have leveled up! You are now Lv. 8!
You have gained 40 Stat Points!
Oh my… I feel my body calm down before I can do anything on my own. Uh, Faust? Is that supposed to be the way [Gamer's Mind] is supposed to work? Because if it does then that sucks!
Hmmm… Well, like I said this is still a working prototype, there are obviously some kinks that need to be worked out. Don't worry though, I am on it already! Just gotta adjust this here… nudge that a bit over there… alright, I think that should do it for now. If you find any other problems just let me know!
Alright, I hope it'll be right this time. And sure, I'll let you know of any other problems appear. In fact, give me an hour and I'll probably find something else wrong.
Hey, don't get all snarky with me. Do you know how hard it is to code a system that warps reality to make shit work? A lot harder than you'd expect!
Yeah, yeah calm your tits man! I'm just joking. Alright, now the simple question is what should I do next?
Staring at the unconscious Water Hose Duo, I notice that they are still breathing at the very least, even if a limb or two doesn't look to be in the right place, and Muscular is… well, dead. And with me being the only one that is conscious here in a place I damn well shouldn't even be in in the first place, that leaves me with only one rational solution.
Get the hell out of dodge!
Reaching for the bloodied steel pipe, I shove it into my inventory and begin making a run out of the building, heading towards the emergency exit as fast as I can. Opening the door I see that the stairway leading down is completely empty and take full advantage of it by sliding down the railings until I reach the exit to the outside world.
Just in the nick of time too, since I can just start hearing the sirens coming our way and they are only getting closer the more I dilly-dally. Exiting the building fully, I see dense forest as far as my eyes can see and sprint through em, my entire focus on making sure I get away from all of this.
A While Later…
Naomasa isn't one to shy away from the dirtier side of hero work. Working alongside heroes like his friend All Might made it all the more easier on his conscience after all..
The scene before him however, is one of the rare instances where he is absolutely glad that he didn't eat his lunch before receiving the call that brought him here.
Before him lay The Water Hose Duo, unconscious and extremely injured, but thankfully already being tended to by paramedics. It's a little too early to see, but he hopes they make it out of this okay.
The same cannot be said by the villain not too far from them.
Goto Imasuji, the prime suspect of multiple mass murders happening over the past year, with many heroes being among those he had ruthlessly slaughtered. And now… there he lays before him, dead with his entire head turned inside out from blunt force trauma.
Looking around for anything that could've been used as a weapon, the only notable thing that Naomasa finds is a small trail of blood dripping a couple feet away from Goto's body that suddenly ends abruptly. 'This is going to be a tough one to solve with the only witnesses available unfortunately rendered unconscious at the moment.' Naomasa thinks to himself, turning towards the opening where he sees The Wild-Wild Pussycats coming at a rapid pace, riding on one of Pixie-Bob's earth beasts.
Once they get close enough, the earth beast melts into the ground, with Mandalay rushing to the forefront with her teammates following right behind their leader. Walking up towards them, Mandalay is the first to speak. "Detective, we heard about what was going on. Are they alright?" Mandalay questions, worry very evident in more than just her tone of voice.
Naomasa merely nods, giving Mandalay a bit of relief from the slight assurance Naomasa have her. "They've been put through the ringer against the villain, but injuries aside they've been stabilized for the time being. They're just up ahead if you want to see them before they're evacuated." Naomasa explains, and Mandalay wastes no time in rushing over to see them. Glancing at her leave for just a moment, Naomasa then turns his attention to the remaining heroes. "That being said, the villain has been killed during the altercation from what I can surmise, but they weren't killed by The Water Hose Duo. No, it seems like a third party is involved." Naomasa remarks, with the remainder of the Wild-Wild Pussycats turning serious with the newly given information.
"Do you know anything of this so-called third party?" Tiger inquires, getting ready to leap into action at a moments notice.
"Next to nothing unfortunately, only that they used some sort of weapon to stab and then beat the villain Goto's head in before making his escape. That, and there is a blood trail that extends noticeably away from Goto before ending after a couple of feet." Naomasa explains, receiving a nod from Pixie-Bob, who looks to be taking in the information and analyzing through it.
"Can you take us to the villain?" Pixie-Bob asks, and Naomasa silently nods and leads her around the rubble to where Goto's body lies, though now his body is covered by a white sheet to hide how badly beaten his head is. Pixie-Bob then walks over to the aforementioned blood trail that suddenly ends abruptly. "Hmm…" Pixie-Bob hums as she then gazes towards the emergency exit door. She turns to her fellow teammates and motions them to follow her.
As they head towards the emergency exit she gazes down to the exit down on the first floor and takes note that said exit leads to the outside once she heads down the steps and heads through the door. "Ragdoll, can you use your quirk on the forest ahead of us? Maybe our third party is somewhere in there." Pixie-Bob commands, with Ragdoll nodding in confirmation and using her quirk Search to find the perpetrator.
As she scans through the whole forest, all Ragdoll sees are the regular wildlife that normally inhabit such locations, and try as she might, Ragdoll couldn't find the person they're after. "It's no use, I don't see anybody in the forest." Ragdoll states, slightly disappointed that her search did little in finding someone.
Tiger came from behind and gives Ragdoll a reassuring pat on the back. "Do not fret my friend, if you couldn't find them that just means they weren't there in the first place
Now, let us not waste anymore time, while he may not be over in the forest, we still must work with the police to make sure everyone is safe and sound.
With Faust…
Huh, they just left… I guess it just goes to show that they just rely on their quirks a little too much, though they would've spotted him if not for my intervention. Looking back to Manny, or Fukurou as he is now called, he looks to be resting near a creek, cleaning his shirt from the bits of blood and grey matter that splattered on him before giving his shirt a quick soak in the water.
Man, he should be thankful that his shirt was red already. Can't have my little project get hit with an unexpecting curveball so soon, though a small part of me wants to see what would've happened had I not done that. Listening into what he's saying, it looks like he is currently experimenting on the new quirk he has obtained, and I can't help but chuckle at his child-like glee of watching muscle strands come out of him and wrap around his arm before he begins to individually wriggle each strand kinda like if they were pseudo-tentacles. Checking the surrounding area for him, it looks like he has a couple more hours before he has to head back to the orphanage.
Changing from perspectives in an instant, I look towards the other guy I gave powers to and- is he doing the Emo Maguire dance?
Huh… so he is.
Well, at least it looks like he's enjoying himself, and helping others while doing so for that matter. It looks like I made a good choice with him, giving him Horseman powers and all the unrestricted perks it gives along with being one.
Now the question is will Fukurou step up to the plate? I think he will, but considering the age of his current body it could potentially take a while for him to do so. Then again, gamer powers so he's bound to surprise me.
Fukurou… what will be your next move I wonder?
With Fukurou…
Getting off the train back home, I received some looks about my disheveled appearance but was otherwise ignored by the public. Looking towards the sky, I can't help but let out a sigh that it is getting late and I have already passed curfew hours for my orphanage, and I am likely gonna be yelled at by the matron the very moment I get back.
Wonderful.
Deciding I'd rather not get into any more trouble by making her wait any longer than need be, I began traversing through the alleyways that Fukurou has long since been accustomed to traversing through. As the minutes pass, I make sure to not go through the specific alleyways that tend to lead to the hideouts of minor gangs from what my previous memories serve to tell me. Soon enough, I reach the second to last alleyway I need to traverse before heading to the main street that leads me back to the orphanage.
A box-cutter knife swinging out in front of me however prevents me from moving forward. Jumping backward and pulling out the broken pipe in my inventory, I am alerted by the presence of someone hiding behind the dumpster, the knife still ever-present as it is being held by a hand that looks to belong to a girl.
Quest Added!
[The Vampire Thirsts]
Objective: Well, it looks like you have encountered the quite popular Himiko Toga! Personally, she is meh to me but most other people seem to think otherwise. And now you have the opportunity to decide her fate! What will you choose?
Kill or Save Himiko Toga.
Reward: If Killed you'll receive 1500 EXP plus her quirk. If Saved you'll receive Massively Increased Reputation with Himiko Toga and 1500 EXP.
Oh, you gotta be shitting me.
"What do you want?" I throw out the stereotypical question to give me time to assess the situation before me.
Walking out from behind the dumpster is none other than MHA's favorite Harley Quinn vampire ripoff Himiko Toga, looking as crazy as ever, with that creepy ass smile of hers.
"I have been following you for a while… you smell of blood, it makes me feel all good and tingly inside…" Toga comments in that cheerful voice of hers, squirming in a way that just brings shivers up my spine. She then tilts her blade and it glints slightly from the action. "Hoh… it just makes me so excited!"
Toga breaks into a sprint, rushing towards me with the intent of making me bleed until she is satisfied. Obviously, I don't want this psycho butch anywhere near my insides so I guess it'd be best to cut this short. Raising the pipe defensively, I wait for Toga to get close enough so I can strike her hard and make a break for it. Right as she is within striking distance, I swing the pipe diagonally to make have the best chance of making contact with her annoying self, but like some kind of Mary Sue bullshit, she dodges with ease, weaving around the pipe like some kind of circus acrobat before stabbing me in the shoulder.
Now normally, this would've been a problem, but thankfully while I was stalling, I wrapped about a dozen layers of muscles over my body and kept it under my shirt, having them work like makeshift body armor. So while the box-cutter did indeed slice through my shirt, it didn't hit anything that would make my HP go down.
Instead of acting worried, Toga's smile merely widens. "Oh, I love it when you dance with me! My last boyfriend didn't last this long, but I will keep his memory with me forever~!" Hold up, what?
Jumping back and away from me, she suddenly started having this pale, mud-like substance exude from her and in seconds she was a completely different person. To be more precise, she looks like Izuku but taller with black hair and no freckles. I feel my face turn to stone at the sight of it, and I can't help but ask her a single question. "Was he your last boyfriend?"
In return, she merely giggles in a masculine voice that shouldn't belong to her. "No, he was my first. Had a couple others, but none were as special as him. Let's see if you are anything near as special as him, huh? So please be my boyfriend~!" Toga explains before launching herself again, this time with more force and speed, but this time I am wholly prepared.
I wrap my entire body with Muscular's quirk, only truly being visible from the arms since I am wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but it is enough to make her pause for just a moment, but that was a pause that would be fatal to her. I blitz her with a speed even I was unprepared for, and end up body checking her to the ground with enough force to rip her disguise open from the torso and back area. She gains a look of surprise at the turn of events but soon that surprise is turned to fear as I strike her square on the forehead.
Now, imma be quite honest with myself, I was underestimating how strong Muscular's quirk is. I know for him it is quite the OP quirk, especially when being able to tank a 100% OFA punch from Izuku, but I felt that he needed to have trained his quirk somewhat to reach such a level. And me, just barely using a fraction of his quirk to enhance my overall physical capabilities went to use such a quirk to enhance the power behind my steel pipe and striking Toga straight on the noggin, what other result there be aside from her head literally exploding from sheer brute force.
…
Well, I'm not going to be able to explain this away friggen T-Shirt getting all dirty and shit…
As I try to pick off the chunks from the shirt, all it does is somehow make it worse!
Hah… for fuck's sake!

Kill or Save Himiko Toga.
Reward: Well you killed her so here you go! Received 1500 EXP plus her quirk Transform!
Not helping Faust!
Administrator Faust has sent a gift to you! You have received: x1 "Please Be Patient, I Have Autism" Indestructible T-Shirt.
Fuck you!
Ripping my shirt off of my person, I stuff it into my Inventory and take out the shirt gifted to me by Faust. Ugh… the picture is even tilted slightly and off-center by a bit, making it all the more humiliating.
But, haters can't be choosers I guess.
With great reluctance, I put on the shirt, and stuff my pipe, my ripped shirt, and Himiko Toga into my Inventory because leaving any evidence when you have the means to get rid of it is one of the stupidest things someone can do. Once that is done i begin walking out of that alleyway and decide to just stroll through the main streets back home. It only took me like ten or so minutes, but by the time I got around the corner to the last stretch I can see the head matron staring back at me quite sternly from this far.
…
I hate today.
Well, that is chapter one for y'all! Tell me whatchu think!
Sincerely,
Forzarismo
