Chapter 1
Ahh... its blue all over the place.
It's been so long since the last time I visit this place. How long has it been? Was it 10 years? 100? Or has it even been a thousand years?
I searched the room only to find a bizarre looking old man with a long nose and bloodshot eyes sitting behind a desk while staring at me with an ever-present grin plastering his face.
I had already gotten used to it, so I don't really get unnerved by that grin of his or even by his overall appearance anymore. As my eyes wander over the room, I notice that it seems everything has still stayed the same as the last time I was here. The only difference I notice is that the elevator has stopped moving, as if it has already arrived at its destination. And the other detail that was missing from the room was Elizabeth. Before I can say anything to Igor, as usual he greets me with the phrase that he used to greet me when I first arrived in this room.
"Welcome to my velvet room." Igor said to me with his ever-present grin. I can't help but smile back to him. The greetings that I'm so familiar with, it's been so long since the last time I heard that.
"Hello Igor, it's been so long." is my response to the catchphrase of the Velvet Room attendant. "I can't seem to find Elizabeth with you, is she busy?" I ask him with a small smile. It is somewhat unusual for her to not be in the room, but it has happened before, so yeah... It must be just a coincidence that she was not here.
"Indeed she is busy right now, busy to complete her own journey. But you do not need to worry about her, because if your path aligns with hers, the both of you shall meet again." he said to me without changing his expression. And so one of my questions has already been answered, even if the answer itself did bring other questions to mind. But I still don't know the reason why I am here. Hasn't my contract already been completed, and what about the great seal? Was humanity already done yearning for death? Or am I still inside the seal, but have only come here by whatever means temporarily, only to come back into the seal later? But if so, then back to the first question, what is the reason that I'm being called back here for?
But as if he can hear all the questions in my mind, Igor suddenly started chuckling and then spoke, "You are truly an exceptional guest, not many get the privilege to come to this room again after they have completed their contract with an excellent completion such as yours. If you are worried about the seal, then do not be so because the seal is no longer needed. Now, as a reward for all you have sacrificed, you are now completely free from all of your past responsibilities." When hearing this, I feel happy, but at the same time a little confused by what he said. For example, I wonder how come I am no longer needed for the seal, and once again before I voicing what was on my mind, Igor spoke to me, "Do not think about the how, just focus about the now. All will come in due time when the moment is right and you are ready to face the oncoming challenges life will put in your way. But, if the world ever needed you again, will you rise above for the sake of humanity? Even when the game has already been rigged from the start?"
The question makes me raise an eyebrow. But nevertheless, I give my answer, "Since when has the game ever been fair?" I ask him back, with a slight smirk on my face. Every challenge that we faced before was anything but fair, so why would it be any different this time? Seeing my response, Igor's grin at me became larger, and somehow, the grin seemed to be more sinister-looking in nature rather than the usual excitement or glee. "We will see. I also give you something as a parting gift from me." After he said this, I start to lose my consciousness before I could manage to ask my questions, or even say goodbye to him. And the last thing I see is the borderline-sinister grin of Igor and hear Igor said, "If that is all, then farewell. Let us see what can you do, as we await for the hand fate has dealt for you to be revealed on your journey."
[ Heroes ]
His name is Midoriya Izuku. The chosen successor of the quirk, [One For All]. You might think that he is some sort of genius, or some kind of prodigy, for him to be chosen as the bearer of [One For All]. But in fact, he was just a normal quirkless boy who was fond of his notebooks about how to be a hero. And who was often bullied a lot because of his dream. They say that he will never be able to be a hero, but he keeps trying and praying for just a chance to have his dream come true. Hoping for a miracle to come. And as if someone up above finally chose to take pity on him, he finally got that chance. What kind of chance you say? Well, today is the third day he trains with his idol. A week ago, training with his idol was just a dream in the night that would stay and never leave dreamland. But somehow, the man that he admired the most in world had met him and offer him the power that he always wanted, but knew will never be granted to him. The power that he had only seen in the news. Wielded by the greatest hero in the world, All Might. But here he is today, training with said hero who has becomes his master as well. And for this last 3 days, he got taught by his idol with rigorous training. What kind of training you say? Of course, the training is cleaning the beach. This is the perfect training for an aspiring hero such as himself. He can train his body and at the same time, he can also help the people by making this beach beautiful again.
"Come on Midoriya my boy, you need to train harder than this if you wish to inherit [One for All] for yourself." shouted All Might to him with his original form. It came as quite a surprise to him when he first saw the great All Might's true form looks like a walking stick. He said he got that form of from his fight five years ago, where he had been gravely injured ever since. Because of that, All Might can only stay in his hero form for about 3 hours. So he made a promise that he will keep this secret with him, and he also promised All Might that he will train to become stronger and even exceed him. Reminded by his motivation, his spirit renewed and he push himself even harder. This is his only chance to become a hero after all, so he needs to train his hardest to be the number one hero, replacing All Might as the symbol of peace. He doesn't care how hard he needs to train, even if he needs to go to hell and back he will never give up and keep his promise to become the number one hero.
[ Heroes ]
All might was really glad that he had found someone with a heart as good as Midoriya. He knows that his eyes are shining with hope whenever he set his gaze to the boy. He was aware that he didn't have much time left as a hero, but thankfully he had already found his successor. Now his last duty as the symbol of peace is to train the next generation, so that they to can protect the future from those that would bring harm to others.
"Come on Midoriya my boy, you need to train harder than this if you wish to inherit [One for All] for yourself." he shouts to Midoriya. It seems his spirit is very high even when facing such rigorous training, he can only hope that his successor will still retain that same spirit even when faced with odds that seems impossible to overcome.
"Let's rest Midoriya my boy, I will give you an hour to relax and then we continue till the day end." he said. And so the said boy started rehydrating and laying on his back. Hopefully he will survive the entire ordeal and manage to enter Yuuei Academy to become a hero.
When the one hour break ends, Midoriya goes backs to his training with the same spirit as before. He can only smile whenever he sees the boy's determination in his eyes. He knows that he choose the right person to pass on [One for All].
[ Heroes ]
After the break, Midoriya continues his training. He keeps pushing his body to the limit in order to strengthen it. In his mind, he always says that he need to succeed and become the number one hero. All Might already choose him, so he need to prove to him that he will not regret his choice. Even if he needs to break all his bones, shatter them and then heal them and keep repeating the process in order to become strong. He will take it all with nothing but a determined smile on his face.
"Midoriya my boy, you can stop now." hearing All Might's voice, he stop carrying the tire under his arm and started laying on his back. It's already dark, he now realizes that he was so focused on his training that he didn't realize that the time flew by and the day had already ended. His breathing is heavy, his body is hurt, and his mind is tired. He thinks today he really did work hard. When he started to close his eyes, someone lifted up his body. He reopened his eyes upon the contact, just to realize that All Might in his hero form starts to carry him on his back. He can only smile at All Might and All Might also smiles back to him as a response.
Just when he started to relax on All Might back, suddenly the world froze. He doesn't know what had happened because everything just suddenly froze without warning, even the flies that are on above the garbage were frozen. But oddly enough he doesn't go into panic mode, he feels calm instead. 'Maybe it's because I'm too tired to panic right now.' he mused to himself. And then when he starts looking around, he can see a blue butterfly glowing and flying in front of him. The butterfly was really beautiful. Its color and the glowing that it emits really caught his eyes. He can't avert his eyes from the beauty, it was truly a sight to behold. 'I don't think I ever see a butterfly as beautiful as this.' he thinks with an expression of awe visible on his face. As he was still mesmerized by the beauty in front of him, suddenly a voice can be heard.
"Help..."
'Help? Whose voice is that?' so he starts looking around trying to find the source of the voice. His eyes wandering across the place in order to find anything that might be the source of the voice. He can't find anything, except the blue butterfly. 'Did the voice come from it?' he wonders. Not long after his wondering though, the voice can be heard again.
"If you can hear my voice... Please... Help..."
And the butterfly starts to fly to the pile of trash near the coastline and stop right on top of the trash that is in the coastline then it disappear in the blink of an eye. After that, the world starts to resume again.
"W-wait a minute All Might, I think I s-saw something. C-can we go in there just for a m-minute?" he said to All Might with his tired voice to go to the place where he saw the butterfly stop. He doesn't know what is there, but he just can't go away and leave whatever's there without checking first.
Although confusion can clearly be seen on his face, All Might still complied to go to where the young boy asks him to go. When they were getting closer to the place, they start to get a glimpse of something near the pile of thrash. It seems like someone who has been unconscious, and when they do a closer inspection they were really shocked by what they saw. Their eyes widened in shock when they can confirm that it was indeed a human body that is laying over there. "Is-is-is that a human over there?" I ask All Might who looks shocked too as he suddenly jumps as fast as he can to the place where they saw the boy. When All Might pick up the body and do some basic checking, All Might let a sigh of relief out from his mouth. "The boy is still alive, but we still need to bring him to the local hospital as fast as possible." Midoriya can only nod at what All Might said. The boy, has a blue hair and look so weak right now. 'Is the boy the one who asks him for help? If so, is his quirk related to freezing time and transformation?' As he ponders over this, All Might already move as fast as he can to the hospital while carrying the two boys.
[ Heroes ]
"You cheated. It was against the rules to directly involve ourselves with them." said some demonic voice with a trace of anger on its voice. "Or where you already aware that they will fail?" the voice continued to speak, but instead of anger now his voice was accompanied by a tone of arrogance.
"You said it yourself that the rules forbid us to involve ourselves directly with them. I can only make the game a little bit fairer." Answer the other voice with a chuckle to the earlier voice, "After all, do not think that I do not know about how you rigged the game again even before it started?"
"Hmph... I only do something that is still within the boundary of the rules. If they fail, then they don't really deserve to win at all." said the voice with confidence. "We will see. I am sure no matter what your game is, they will succeed. Humanity will prevail." is the other voice's answered with conviction to the challenge.
