Summary: All Might dies. All for One wins. Izuku gets a second chance. Does he really need One for All right now?

One for All. A powerful quirk passed on from one person to another that adds the strength of each owner it holds. All Might. The Symbol of Peace. Holder of the last embers of that power as he had given it to his successor.

A man that was strong in muscle and heart. He was buff and his costume was ripped across his torso. He had an aura of power and a unique presence that gave hope to civilians. This would have been someone everyone would think would win.

It was a grim scene that people would see if anyone were around. Pieces of his heroic uniform fluttering to the ground. A pain filled expression was upon his face. His left side of his face held a cut from above his eyebrow that had blood run down. His majestic hair was ripped on the right. A limp and skinny right arm could be seen as steam started to pour off of the proud man.

Izuku Midoriya. Successor to All Might. Someone who held the quirk and was only able to access ten percent. He could only watch the scenes play out in front of him. His consciousness was slowly slipping.

He watched as a monstrous arm smashed into the Symbol of Peace and with a sickening crack forced the hero's body into a crater. The landscape was something out of an apocalypse. Buildings were in ruins. Fires burned as civilians screamed. Ice covered pieces of buildings. Black, heavy smoke lifted into the slowly setting sun. The villain only chuckled with a menacing grin.

The quirk this villain had was known as All for One. A tall man with a futuristic respirator and no eyes or hair. He had on a black suit that did not even have a speck of dust on it.

All around the battlefield laid his friends in different positions. All Might and the teachers of U.A. did not make it in time. All they wanted to do was rescue Katsuki Bakugo who was a hostage of the League of Villains. They only saw the aftemath of what the villain had done.

Todoroki Shoto was riped in half and thrown into two different ruined buildings. You could see his organs and blood if you looked as it connected the two pieces of bodies. Tenya Iida had his legs ripped off and was slammed into a car to bleed out as he yelled in pain. Ochaco Uraraka was struck with a light pole right through her stomach. She faced upwards, spread eagle as her eyes stared upwards and her pale body dribbled a pool of blood beside the pole. Its steel metal shined red. Katsuki Bakugo had his head crushed and his body left in a crater. Those were the nice ones.

Izuku was gravely injured. He was pulled into a sitting position. His left hand was crushed by a stone. He had been put there by the villain as the teachers had come to help. He could see the battle drawing to a close. He stared at the decapitated head of Aizawa.

The principal Nezu crawled to Izuku. His form was battered leaving only scraps for cloths and his white fur was covered in dirt and blood. In his little paws was a pocketwatch. He took hold of Izuku's right hand and put the watch in it. "Take it. I hope it helps."

All for One started to float All Might's body into the air. He started to laugh hysterically. He lit All Might's body on fire and watched him scream.

Then everything faded from sight.

He woke up to see words floating in front of him in white. He was standing on darkness and it seemed to stretch on forever.

Game Over

1 Life Left

Restart?

Yes? No?

He stared at the words for a long period of time. He blinked. Then he patted himself to see if it was real. He was in the clothes he wore as a sports uniform for U.A. He remembered the pocket watch he was given by the principal. It wasn't there. Neither were the wounds he was given by the monstrosity known as All for one.

He shrugged. Nothing made sense anymore. He pressed on the yes button. The world started to pixelate and his vision shattered only to have the world change to the day that changed his life.

He was in the classroom listening to Katsuki Bakugo.

(Partial quote from the manga)

"...believing with all your might that you will have an "individuality" in the other world."

Stunned Izuku watched a healthy Katsuki walk away. It was different though. Above his head was his name with a health bar colored red and a blue bar underneath.

After he knew that the explosive boy left a tear came from his left eye. A choked laugh came from Izuku's lips. A grin came upon the freckled face. He ran to were his thirteenth hero notebook would lay only to find that it had changed.

A Hero's Game: Izuku Edition

Guide for your Second Chance

Giddy, he turned the cover only for a holographic screen to open. It held a picture of his face and a list of things he could use to the side. It held a Profile, Quests, Quirk, Equipment, Inventory, Abilities, Settings, and an Info section. He looked into the Info section first.

He started to walk home the opposite way he had gone that day. No interruptions. No deadly slime creatures. He got home to a warm "Welcome home Izuku!" from his mom. He went to his room and sat on the chair by his desk and P.C. He placed the book down and started to read more thoroughly. First he went to Settings and spoke out loud.

"Voice, thought, or touch screen controls? Let's go with voice and thought for battle and general for touch screen. All right! It's on Normal setting? I thought it was on Hard? Time to look at the rest!"

He went through his Profile button and found out quite a lot. He could not change his profile picture. He had his name permanently labeled so he couldn't change his name. There was a Title that told him what he was with any bonus available to it, Level and Experience along with stats just below it. The stats also held stat points. Underneath all of the information were two extra words grayed out with a note beside it. It looked like this:

He decided to look at the rest on another day and got ready for bed. Collapsing onto the bed with a smile he could hear his last thought of the day. Should I have repeated the day the best I could instead of learning more about my second chance?
