A/N: I have been away for a very long time. I am terribly sorry for not being able to update my stories.
Sadly as I have been unable to keep up due to my work I have lost the trail of my other stories and they now stand as abandoned.
I have however created this and am now posting the first chapter. I am currently having the second and third chapters proofread so those should be up soon as well.
Please enjoy and tell me what you think.

What is going on?
That was the only thing going through my mind right now. I feel cold and weightless, almost like I was underwater.
Water. I know what that is, but I can't remember any instance of interacting with water.
What is going on?
You have perished in your previous life. As such all memories of that other life has been removed. You will have the opportunity to relearn important life lessons in this new world however.
Is the blue textbox answering me? It seems like it, still this is very hard to believe.
Maybe I should just continue and see where this will take me.
A wonderful choice!
Please create your new character.

Y/N
Name? I had one before, when I was alive but I can't remember it. I selected to have both the name and gender to be chosen as random. I wasn't sure what or who I am in my old life after all. I don't think I would be able to make a good choice at this rate.
Character has been created!
Status:
Name: Kuro Shirogane
Gender: Male
Title: The Gamer
Hero Name: N/A
Quirk: [Locked]
Level: 0
Exp: 0/100
HP: 500/500
MP: 200/200
QP: [Locked]
Attributes:
Strength: 5
Vitality: 5
Dexterity: 5
Intelligence: 5
Wisdom: 5
Luck: 5
Attribute Points: 20
Perks:
Gamer's Body: Allows you to live your life as if it's a game. Sleeping and eating provides recovery benefits. All injuries are translated to damages. Sleeping and eating are no longer necessary for continued survival. Pain and fatigue only lasts for a short time.
Gamer's Mind: Allows you to live your life as if it's a game. Enables you to stay calm in any situation. Immune to psychological and mental attacks and statuses.
I guess that makes a bit of sense. What about those attribute points though, I wonder.
Attribute Points are points that can be used to strengthen yourself. You will acquire 5 points per level up until level 20 at which point you will start acquiring an additional 5 points incremented every 20 levels.
Strength: Governs your overall strength. Lifting, striking, pushing, and pulling. Can be alternatively increased by performing feats of strength or training.
Vitality: Determines your HP, defense, and overall endurance. Can be increased by endurance training, or taking massive damage and surviving.
Dexterity: Speed, flexibility, aim, and grace. An important attribute for anyone. Can be increased the speed training, gymnastics, target practice, or dancing.
Intelligence: Determines your MP, memorization, and logical thinking. Can be increased by studying or intelligent actions.
Wisdom: Strategy, wise choices, and your use of intelligence. Can be increased by making wise decisions or being strategic.
Luck: Your luck may either be a blessing or a curse, it can also determine what loot drops everytime you defeat an opponent. Increase by being lucky.
Okay, that explains that. I wonder what Quirk means?
You will received knowledge of quirks at a later date.
I guess the textbox isn't going to answer all of my questions then. Perhaps that should be enough of this for now.
The Inventory is a pocket dimension used to store items for the gamer. It is unending and will never be full. Also equipping items from the inventory can be done by either a voice or a mental command. Any loot enemies drop are automatically sent to the inventory as well.
That is definitely useful. Hopefully it is untraceable as well but I'm not perfectly sure on that.
Though out your life you will also be learning several skills. You can acquire them through practice, experimentation or by consuming skill books. You can view them on the Skills section although it is empty at this moment.
Would you like to repeat the instructions?
Y/N
I think I got everything so I selected 'N'
By completing the tutorial part 1 you have acquired the following rewards!
1 Quirk selector
1 Evolving item
You may find them in the inventory once you recover the memory of the tutorial.
Wait, what?!
You will now be reborn and live in the new world you will recover the memory a day after your 12th birthday.
Talk to you then!
The blue screen disappeared and I knew no more.
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
I woke up not feeling sleepy, at all, and if you've known me for years then you would know how weird that is. I just turned 12 yesterday and didn't went to sleep until 6am so when I look at my alarm clock and saw that it was only 8am I was more than surprised.
It didn't last long though. A blue screen suddenly popped up in front of me.
Long time no talk!
Are you ready for part 2 of the tutorial?
Y/N
There was a searing pain in my head, it was so painful and so sudden that I didn't even had time to shout. It passed quickly though, and seconds later I was about to breakdown in a panic. At least until I felt a force squash my panic and forced me to be calm.
Gamer's mind. It has to be.
Wait…
I remember.
Holy shit! That was real!
I felt myself calm down again. Gamer's mind is definitely going to be useful when I become a hero. I don't care what everyone else say. With my gamer ability I can now become a hero. I'm not just a quirkless kid anymore.
Izuku would be extremely jealous though.
Still, it would get me out of Bakugo's bully radar. He's such a prick.
Noticing the window in front of me again I decided to continue and touched the 'Y'.
For future reference mental commands would suffice to use the interface.
Nice to know.
First let's assign your available stat points. Please open the Status Page.
I quickly will my stats to appear. Seeing as they're all still uniform at five, I decided that Intelligence and Wisdom will be the most important along with Dexterity. Being smart and strategic, then having the speed to react quickly would be something I sorely need.
I added five to each, then another five to Luck. The ability to make the universe your bitch, who wouldn't like that?
For actually being smart about it and not just dumping them all to strength or something take a bonus +5 to Intelligence and Luck.
Sweet! Free increase!
Now open your inventory!
Quickly doing so I saw that I have a circular disk like thing and what looks to be a black ring.
The item on the first slot is a Quirk Selector, it will allow you or anyone you approve to acquire a Quirk from a list. The second is a charmed ring, take it out
I reached in and found the screen to ripple after I touched it, as soon as my finger touched the slot for the ring it appeared in little motes of light fully grasped in my hand.
Since you don't have any skills yet, we will provide you with one.
Congratulations!
A Skill has been acquired!
Observe – Active (Lvl 1)
Provides information about something or someone. More details will be provided at higher levels.
Cost – 0 MP
Now use it on the ring.
'Observe' I commanded looking at the item.
Ring of Hercules
Rank: Legendary (Evolving)
+ 5 to Strength when equipped
*An evolving item will grow stronger along with you. Keep it equipped at all times.
I remembered that the tutorial said I can equip items directly from the inventory, wanting to try it out I placed the ring back in before making a command.
'Ring of Hercules!'
It appeared on my ring finger after a short and small burst of light.
It looks pretty nice.
For completing the tutorial part 2 you have received the following rewards:
1 Quirk Selector
1 Skill Book
When your prepared select continue to proceed to the final part of the tutorial, the battle system.
[Continue]
I'm a little happy that they gave me time to prepare as I would definitely want to learn a skill and select a quirk before fighting. Though I was a little shocked that they gave me another Quirk Selector so quickly, wouldn't having multiple quirk make me too strong? Or maybe I can give one to Izuku so he can gain one too!
At the moment you can only have one quirk. Additional quirk slot will be added at LVL 20.
That make much better sense. Anyway, I need to do this first before giving my only friend the greatest gift of all.
Opening the inventory I took out the skill book first.
Skill Book: Martial Arts. Would you like to learn this skill?
Y/N
I selected 'Y' and the book disappear into motes of light, suddenly I acquired knowledge of fighting styles and movements that I never knew before. I can feel my body adjust to enable the range of movements necessary for fighting.
I smiled.
Next I took one of the Quirk Selectors and activated it.
Choose a Quirk to acquire:
Flight – Allows the ability to fly.
Super Strength – Temporarily increase strength fivefold.
Telepathy – Read, speak to, and control mind.
Telekinesis – Make things move with your mind.
Speed Force – Temporarily increase dexterity fivefold.
I wanted them all. I seriously do. However I can increase both my strength and dexterity by training, to theoretically I should be able to eventually be strong enough to almost have Super Strength or Speed Force. Telepathy and Telekinesis are also very tempting, but there is one thing that mankind has always dreamt of. And now that I have the chance, I will grab it.
I selected Flight.
Congratulations! You have acquired the Quirk Flight!
Flight – Active (Lvl 1/5)
Mankind has always dreamt of flying ever since they first awakened. Now it's your turn to conquer that sweet freedom of flight.
Passively increase dexterity by 20
Max Speed – Mach 1
Cost – 10 QP per minute
That is so cool! Wait what's QP?
Quirk Point (QP) – Quirks are physical abilities and such has their own limits.
Current QP: 500/500
So that's why it was locked before, I needed to have a quirk.
Figuring I was as ready as I can be for now, I touched continue. A bright flash of light occurred and when I opened my eyes I found myself in a wide open area. It looked like a coliseum.
For this tutorial match your HP reaching 0 will not have any consequences, however in the real world that will be equivalent to dying.
Quest Alert!
Defeat win your first fight!
Complete:
500 exp
1 Skill Book
1 Evolving Item
Fail:
100 exp
Quest is Mandatory!
I only had one thought. Bring it!
In front of me my enemy materialized from motes of light.
It was a small kid, probably around 10 years old. He had a long blue scarf wrapped around his neck and a weird bowl shaped cap with tuft of his hair sticking our form it.
I used observe on him immediately.
Konohamaru Sarutobi
Level 3
HP: 700
CP: 1000
A copy of a young aspiring shinobi from another world, this young boy can certainly pack a wallop. Especially after he started to aim to be better than his idol Naruto Uzumaki.
Beat to gain: 200 exp
Konohamaru charged forward at surprising speeds before leaping and aiming a spinning kick at my head, I dove forward and spun planting my own kick at his exposed back and scoring the first hit of the match. I didn't expect the kid to recover quickly however and he used the momentum from my kick and spun throwing a bunch of ninja stars at me.
I was too close to dodge them all and got hit by three as I tried to block. One on my left shoulder and two on my left arm.
HP: 350/500
Enemy HP: 680/700
Not good. Each throwing star does 50 damage and he looks like he has a lot more of those.
I pulled out the ones that hit me and kept them in my pajama pocket. I really should have remembered to change clothes before doing this fight.
The kid pulled six more, three on each hand and threw them at a wide fan formation. I ducked then launched myself forward with my vastly high dexterity, and an uppercut from me caught him unawares. I didn't let up this time, and followed it with a heavy heel kick before pulling one of my acquired stars and stabbing it on his chest. Right where his heart should be.
Critical Hit!
Enemy HP: 490/700
I pulled out the star and was about to stab him again but Konohamaru was able to grab my arm and spun himself almost like monkey ending with a donkey kick right at my mouth.
HP: 300/500
He threw a diamond shaped dagger at me this time and I threw the star in my hand to deflect. Suddenly he did some weird form with his hands and to my utter surprise spat fireballs at me. For the first time in my life I activated a quirk and rocketed skyward, I didn't stop until I can barely see him due to me not being used to my quirk and its speed yet.
I can see him looking around wondering where I am and I decided to do something stupid. I dived towards him, heedless of physics and gravity and threw a haymaker at the top of his head.
Good news, I won. Bad news, I broke all the bones in my arm and almost killed myself with that stunt.
Enemy HP: 0/700
HP: 4/500
Congratulations! You have completed and won the battle tutorial!
You are now free to use your power however you wish in this world.
Acquired a total of:
700 exp
10,000 money
Skill Book: ID Create/Escape
Amulet of Arthur
You have levelled up three times!
Name: Kuro Shirogane
Gender: Male
Title: The Gamer
Hero Name: N/A
Quirk: Flight
Level: 3
Exp: 0/800
HP: 650/650
MP: 350/350
QP: 650/650
Attributes:
Strength: 5+20=25
Vitality: 5
Dexterity: 10+20=30
Intelligence: 15
Wisdom: 10
Luck: 15
Attribute Points: 15
I was suddenly restored to perfect condition, no broken bones, no pain, nothing. I can work with this. But first, I took out the amulet and observed it.
Amulet of Arthur
Rank: Legendary (Evolving)
+ 5 to Vitality when equipped
I equipped it immediately, I understand evolving items now. Earlier the Ring of Hercules only gave me +5 in strength but after leveling up three times I see that it leveled up too and has increased to +20 strength. Getting these items early on is perfect for me.
I also saw that my quirk gives +20 to dexterity so I'm good there for now. I added 5 points each to Intelligence, Wisdom and Luck. Seeing as they're the only ones without help for now.
Martial Arts has Levelled up!
Observe has levelled up!
Those are good for now.
After another flash of light I find myself standing in my bedroom again, my pajamas unruffled and untorn, along with a weird weight in the pocket. I pulled it out and found two ninja stars from the fight; it seems I can pull things with me after the fight ends.
For finding a loop hole in the system you lucky bastard take +1 to both Luck and Wisdom.
I smiled that was nice to know. Finally I pulled out the skill book I had gotten.
Do you wish to learn Skill Book: ID Create/Escape?
Y/N
The book once again disappeared in lights.
You have acquired the skill:
ID Create/Escape – Active (LVL 1)
Allows you to create an instant dungeon to train or just hang out in.
Higher level will give more dungeons, some with monsters in them.
Dungeons:
Empty Dungeon
Cost: 0 MP
Now that is something amazing! The ability to create dungeons with monsters to fight and level up against? I might even acquire some awesome loot! With this I'll get very strong very quickly!
A thought suddenly entered my mind. What about Izuku? I have made up my mind to give him my other quirk selector but could I help him get powerful with the gamer ability?
Party System
The party system will allow you to temporarily share some of the Gamer benefits to others. While in the party other people will be able to level up like, allocate their points, use skill books, and quirk selectors. However the Inventory is not shared and they cannot create a party of their own.
Telepathic Messaging will also be available within party members.
