I decided to just upload something i written on Spacebattles a while ago, it mostly one-shots snippets of Izuku/Deku as the Gamer.

I lay there on my bed not moving as I remember the events that happen a week ago leading me to gaining this power.
*flashback*
"Kaachan, are you ok!?"
I look at my childhood friend bleeding a little from the torn wound his right arm from the debris that exploded from the large apartment complex in front of us. I stare in disbelief at him gritting his teeth in pain has he spat on the wound before tying the bicep with ripped cloth from his uniform to the now burning building complex containing people screaming for help.
It was supposed to be just a normal day as I tried to ignore Kaa- chan teasing smirk with his comments on our way to school before trying to take back my notebook that he playfully stolen. It happen so suddenly that all we could do was turn our heads at the sound of the explosion as chucks of rock rain down from the sky.
"Deku, call for help! I am going in!"
"Wait Kaa-chan you can't be seriously be planning to go inside along!? It too dangerous for you!"
He frown obviously annoyed at his nickname before walking to the burning complex with a snarl.
"So what, you want to help me or something? You're fucking quirkless you fucking nerd, you'll only drag me down!"
"But..."
I bite my lips, time was running out. Why couldn't I have been born with a quirk, I would be even grateful for a minor one. The longer we wait the less likely the chances of getting the people trapped inside out safety, I glance around seeing a few shock bystanders pulling out their phones to call for help as my mind to think of a solution.
I found myself muttering unconsciously possible solutions, info from researching different heroes coming to mind before my eyes caught something red.
"Kaa-chan! Use your quirk to blow a hole in that fire hydrant, try to smash it open to redirect some of the water to the apartment. You can use it to wet yourself to give yourself a better chance of keeping yourself safety from being burn even if it is just a little!"
He stares with some shock before smirking as I pointed at the red fire hydrant that was just a little away.
"Hah, you say some good stuff you fucking nerd!"
It was going so well, the fire was stalled by Kaa-chan ripping a space in the fire hydrant as he dive right in after soaking himself, we saved a lot of people with Kaa-chan blowing up areas that had large debris blocking the exit. Huh it was a funny thing that I use the term we instead of him, Kaa-chan was in there for a long time and I rush in there soon after him. I covered my mouth with some cloth, finding him paled, coughing and shaking as he tried to lift a support pillar size debris that had fallen on some little girl who couldn't have been over 10 years old. The other little child, a boy who I assume was her brother and proven right as he scream between his coughs with tears asking for Kaa-chan to save her. Kaa-chan shouted at the boy to leave but the refused fruitlessly trying to help lift the pillar. I wonder why he didn't use his quirk before realizing he knew that his quirk could hurt the child trapped below the debris.
"Deku!? You fucking nerd! What the hell are you doing her-*cough" I smile under the cloth trying not to inhale smoke before wordless bending my knees to help lift. It began to budge upward enough for Kaa-chan to pull the child free before dropping it.
I smile at the scene of the boy hugging her sister as Kaa-chan shouting at them to get moving, ah right fire with the building possibly collapsing. Happy hugging can wait later.
We unsteady made our way out and pain ran through my body. Why was I feeling pain, why are you shouting at me kaa-chan? Ah, I push the two kids out of the way of the large pieces of the roof that was about to drop on them. I hope they aren't hurt by my actions, I smile shakily at kaa-chan as he tried to use his quirk to blast apart the rubble but stop with a shaky expression as I cry out in pain from the force of the explosion. The rubble was too large to lift or destroy without destroy without hurting me. He stops giving me a pained look filled with fear, why was he scared? The kaa-chan I knew wouldn't be scared of this.
"…Go! The heroes will come save me," I mutter out weakly, pointing at the two kids. "Get them out here… please"
He looks conflict biting his lip before carrying the kids under his arms and running off. Darkness envelops me visions. I was quirkless, no one special and I might have never had the chance to fulfil my dream but oddly enough I had little regrets at that moment.
Darkness filled my vision as I finally stop coughing from the smoke and flames.
The pain was gone as I open my eyes to find myself in some floating grey void. Where was I, what happen, why am I here?
I float panicky waving my arms as I experience the sensation of what it might be like to be an astronaut on the moon.
"What wrong young boy, don't like the colour grey?" The void change to a blue colour, gravity seems to be working as I finally landed my feet on some invisible surface.
"Um, where am I!" I shouted nervously glancing around to try to find the voice. "Am I died, is this the afterlife of something?"
"At least my new champion is quick to caught on, yes you have died but this is no afterlife. Come, turn around young Izuku." A mature feminine voice giggles with amusement. I turn around to see a beautiful woman sitting on a golden throne decorated with flowers of much variety that wasn't there a moment ago. Her cheek was resting the palm of her hand resting her right elbow on the throne, golden hair and green toga-like clothing that sparkle like emeralds silk. Blue eyes stare into my as I gulp I felt myself tense at her presence.
She wasn't human, she look human but I knew from the moment our eyes met that she could crush me easily as an ant.
"…w-who….." She raise an eyebrow waiting for me as I struggle ask my question and not to curl up in a ball. She snap her fingers with a ah expression realizing something.
"Hm? Oh my bad, I forgotten to turn that off huh? There you go do you feel better?"
I nod at her letting out a breath of relief at the pressure that was threating to crush me. Was she an angel? No she said this wasn't the afterlife but she did say I died though.
"Who are you?" She smiles in amusement at my question as I waited with a gulp.
"I am hurt you didn't recognize me after I all I done for you and your kind young boy," She got off her throne as she idly circles around me, I try not to let the surprise show on my face as she shift form to a young beautiful brunette wearing a school uniform then a red hair man in blue armour before turning back to the original blonde in the toga appearance all in a few seconds. "But I guess I could forgive you for your ignorant, I have many names but I guess you can call myself by the name of Gaia, the personification of earth basically."
"I see…um sorry for stepping on you miss Gaia ma'am. It is um nice to meet you," I didn't really but decided to bow my greeting and be quiet for now to see why I was brought here. She snap her fingers and chairs of earth appear out of nowhere in this blue void as I took a seat across facing her.
She wave her hand to the side was the area there distorted to show an image of Kaa-chan shouting my real name and not my nickname Deku at the burning complex while being hold back by a couple people as a Hero I recognize in the firemen outfit was putting out the fire while others help rescue the other possible survivors. Ah the kids we saved are safe I am glad but I really hope-ah never mind, Kaa-chan punch the two man trying to restrain him from running inside.
I stop my questions as she told me to watch when I tried asking something and cover my mouth to stifle my gasp as I watch the heroes pull out me body, burn marks covering most of my body. I was dead, Kaa-chan try rough shaking me, screaming at me to wake up.
"Wake up you stupid fucking nerd! Wake the fuck up; I didn't need your help so wake up before I fucking kill your ass! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU QUIRKLESS BASTARD!?"
My eyes widen as they pull him away from my body, he collapse to the ground pounding the ground with tears running down his face as a hero place a hand on kaa-chan shoulder before backing off from Kaa-chan screams of rage. I wanted to yell at the image I am seeing that I was alive but I stay silent at seeing my unresponsive body.
"….I actually died…."
"Well~ not really I am technically showing you what option 3 of the choices I am offering is." I jump in surprise at seeing Kaa-chan form giving me a cocky grin before changing back.
"Wh-what?"
"This image of what you are seeing is what you see in the future, right now your still trapped under somewhere between the boundary of life and death. Be happy and listen to what I have to say."
I nod tiredly as she spoke about timelines and parallel worlds, how the world or rather the timeline I was in was a variation that ends up with the scenario of a lot of destruction to the planet. How I was originally going to receive All Might's power due to my courage and strength will, how he will die fighting a villain after being weaken due to giving me his powers. She idly said no when I ask who the villain was or any knowledge about the future like how I can even receive All Might's powers except what little she was planning to share, saying something about messing up the timeline and horrible consequences.
I ask why she doesn't fix things herself and found out there are rules to keep beings like her from messing around worlds, asking me with a laugh if I wanted to see random beings of great power rain down destruction for the lulz? Basically to make a long story short, she interferes and lots of people die. I really didn't understand how that will happen but decided to just trust her on that.
"So option 1 is where you make it so I live and you'll help keep events where I end up being taught by All Might and receiving his power?" I summarize holding an apple as she span her own apple, taking bites from it without it falling from her finger. I felt dizzy, the hero who I look up to gives me the chance to be a hero but this option feel like I am killing All Might for my own selfish goals. "If I pick that option will All Might die?"
"Well nothing is set in stone, you can still change things so he lives but yes there is still a good chance of him dying."
"Option 2 then, please gives me the power you're planning to give me. I know I don't deserve it but I don't want to be a hero if it means All Might will die."
I couldn't pick option 3 where I end up dead and Gaia uses my essence to greatly help divert events to change things for the better, high chance of a happy ending except for a few people. She change her appearance into one of those few people, my mother asking with a pain voice why I would leave her all alone when I was about go with that option. My heart torn to shreds and I resist lashing out to punch the powerful being before me, she was right I couldn't leave my mother alone. I was not sure I will make a difference but I was not going to back down either.
"Are you sure boy?"
"Yes Ma'am!"
"Rejoice my new champion and be reborn with my power! Go out into the world and show me you're truly worthy of my power!" She places her palm on my chest as I glow bright and everything went black.
I woke up in pain and tired being carried from out of the rubble and into ambulance vehicle seeing names and number above people. I listen to Gaia small snippets of advice and immediately began researching about games after seeing my mother smiling face just relieved I was alive. It seems a Villain planted bombs there in an attempt to distract the heroes while they rob a bank but lucky everyone got out alive besides some injuries.
*end of flash back*

I set down the two dumbbells with an uncertain smile at the small increase in my stat. It was getting harder to increase my intelligent so it has been best to focus on other stats. I closed my status menu, walking to the kitchen; resist pumping points into my low strength right now knowing that points will be harder to get later on.

The gamer ability that I gain might not have compared to All Might ability but I can tell it had a lot of potential. I grimace at my low physical stats that I knew was low compare to most of my classmates, I was busy trying to create skills and studying how my new ability works, trying to use Mana and mold was extremely hard.
My head shoot up as my mother gave me an exasperated smile when I realized I was muttering about possible techniques from heroes I could use.

Perhaps it might be due to level difference or maybe I can increase my observation skill to see someone with ? true level?
