The Most Clutch Gamer

by The Lorax Man

When the Author thought that giving Izuku Midoriya the power of living in a game, he thought that it would be fine He did not think, that he would suddenly be overcome by the urge to become stronger. He did not think that his stats would consume him whenever he used them. He did not think that it would be a bad idea. But it was a good idea at the time Gamer Izuku, basically

1. Somethings different

It was at the tender age of four that Izuku Midoriya learnt something that many adults from the 21st century struggled with. That not all men were created equal.

Not in a negative sense, oh no, he would eventually be on the good side of that saying.

He would have a quirk, the same as all his other classmates

He would call it "Gamers Friend"

It would turn his life into a game.

just a casual rpg.

This is the story, as many, many iterations of Izuku Midoriya have said, of how the hero Deku went down in history as the most clutch ga- I mean, as the most symbolic symbol of peace

It all started in Australia. I know the history books say china with a glowing baby, but the first ever quirk was aptly named Legend. It made the user a god among men. A true legend. The holder of the quirk was named Steve Irwin. The quirk, as powerful as it was, had one weakness.

Sting Rays.

And the rest is tragic history

A couple of decades and a bit, and Boom, human chinese lantern, and the rest of that is history.

Again

And then centuries later, and you have me

16, almost 17 year old Izuku Midoriya.

And 17 year old Bakugou Katsuki, but he's kinda meh

..

Don't tell him I said that

Currently in a fight for his life, battling against the forces of boredom, in school.

'Sigh.. why would anyone care about anything from 2018. It was just a year of SJWs and millenials' I think during a particularly boring history lesson 'and why do we still have info on it. Though 2016-2020 were considered 'the second dark age' the shortest of the two because the millenials got bored of being snowflakes that quickly.

Heh

Maybe-'

My thoughts are cut of by the very loud and abrasive school bell. The one that my school decided to import from America to give us a taste of what english speaking countries were like to try and get us motivated for university in one of the states. And it would have worked. If those kind of bells hadn't of been phased out of educational centers because it prevented students from learning.

Of course Aldera Junior High completely ignored that little bit if info and used them anyway-.

"Shut up, Deku, it's time to leave." groweld my only friend, Katsuki Bakugou, or as I like to call him Kaachan.

"Sorry Kaachan. Was I mumbling again?" I say picking up my bag "My head was in the clouds again, thinking about these god awful bells"

While leaving the school, some girls came up to us, like usual, and asked us to go to the arcade.

Like usual.

And like usual, Kaachan responded with a

"Fuck off you goddamn extras. Stop trying to waste my time"

Very nice Kaachan.

A+ in socialising

Almost immediately they run off. The power of a slightly ticked of Katsuki Bakugou truly knows no bounds when it comes to scaring people off.

"You know, maybe you should try socialising. Raise your charisma stat. Might be fun"

Immediately he replies

"And waste my time talking to shitty extras? Not fucking likely"

Maybe he has a thing for being alone. Sitting in his room, lights on low, brooding. Yeah. 'The Brooding Hero; Fuck Off'

"Fuck off, you mumbling bitch"

I pick up a pebble on the side of the road in preparation for a social experiment

"Hey Kaachan, you wanna start working out at the beach. I saw a bunch of fridges and they look perfect for some DIY strength training"

"Good idea, you might actually build some muscle for the UA entrance exam.

If you can keep you head outta the fucking clouds"

"Yeah yeah, Kaachan" I sigh "and besides, we need to train our bodies any way, cause our quirks are coming soon, and the doctors did say they would take a toll on our bodies"

"Yeah." he replies "that too"

We spend the rest of the walk home in silence, admiring nothing because the beach looks like shit and the park is full of kids. Although I did see a snail. That was nice. And

Oooh, did Tsuikano-san finish the garden? That's cool. After reaching the split I ask Kaachan if he wants to come over and get his ass beat at video games some more

"No. Your skill at Super Smash Bros Ultimate with the fucking Wii Fit Trainer. It's unnatural"

"Your loss man, guess i'll have to beat you another day. Wanna walk me home though?"

"Sure. Just… No more Smash Bros"

After walking past some pot plants and kids we part ways at my place.

Before bakugou can leave though "Hey Kaachan, think fast" I say grinning diviousely and throw the pebble that i've been holding the entire time.

Bet you forgot about that one didn't you

The pebble soars through the air, gleaming like some kind of raindrop from space come to rain rocky justice on Kaachan. And just before it hits him it explodes. Fuck. My devilishly devilish grin disappears and is replaced with a sour look. Like I bit a lemon. A salty lemon. He turns back towards me and starts howling with laughter at my face

"Nice try Deku, but my quirk came in last week. I wanted to surprise you at the beach." he struggles with how hard he's laughing, "I was gonna try and explode the fucking fridge, but, oooh boy, this was even better" He turns back and says "see ya tomorrow, Shitty Deku. Maybe then you'll have a quirk"

"Yeah Yeah, Kaachan, fight me when you can beat me in Smash"

Once again he looks back

"Was that a challenge"

"Come on. I beat you with Kirby 5 times in a row. We both know who wins"

He sighs, and turns away

"You're lucky you can Smash better than you can throw"

"Fuck you too"

Sigh

…

Sigh again

"You maybe wondering why i'm able to break the fourth wall like this. That's because it's a part of my quirk. I know, in this world, quirks don't appear until your around 13-18, but that's because they usually are way more powerful, than say, a thousand years ago where they came in at age 5. Nowadays, Explosion, once meant being able to make explosions. Now it means complete control over what combust when in contact with your body or in a 5 meter radius. Along with nitroglycerin sweat to keep it nice and even. Sorry for the info dump I think to you guys while getting a glass of water "but this is necessary, to keep the smart ones from getting the satisfaction of spoiling the mechanics of this universe in the comments.

Ahh.

Nice, cold water.

Maybe a little bit of salt from the tears of theorists everywhere, but that makes it taste better

Anyway, where was I

Oh yeah, Quirks

You still get part of the quirk, like how adolescents still have a brain that grown before adolescence, until the full thing develops. Bakugou's was knowledge of any source of heat in his 5 meter radius. Mine was knowing that life is meaningless, and everything's a game. Also I respawn. found that out after I accidentally drowned.

In a bathtub. Don't ask"

"Info dump over," I say to myself "Time to order some pizza. And G*Fuel with the code pewdiepie for 10 percent off. Go ahead and subscribe" bringing the phone to my ears I order a large pepperoni pizza, with two diet cokes

*Ding Dong*

"Pizza"

*Deep inhale*

Mhhhh that smells good. You wanna smell, don't you. Sucks this is just a fanfiction. Go eat something, then come back

After enjoying the fuck out of my meal, and you should have enjoyed the fuck out of yours, I walk to my room, and head to bed, incredibly tired for no reason other than for plot purposes.

Right before my head hit the pillow I hear a rather loud, but flat

*Ding*

….

Wow, Author man cutting it rather close, aren't you?

Shut the fuck up. You only exists because I let you

Yeah, yeah, keep talking

Fuck You. I was originally gonna give you a tutorial before I permanently changed your life into a video game, but i'll just let you figure it your for yourself

You sure this isn't gonna get me killed

Bye Bye. Be grateful I was too lazy to change your world into hardmode Terraria

…

Izuku Midoriya

Age- 12

Description

Annoying as fuck. WIth Inko as a mum, and Hisashi as a shitty dad, and then the weight of knowing that life is just in the mind of a shitty fanfic author, has created the being that goes by the name of Izuku Midoriya.

Huh.

That's cool.

Guess that's my Quirk. Imma grind the fuck outta this shit. I'll be, for those of you xany enough to know what the intro meant, the most clutch gamer to ever exist.

Plus Ultra. Ish. More like, Time skip. Or not. Who knows. Only I do

I'm tired. Maybe I should sleep.

But, like, sleep is for the weak.

Ehh, fuck that, imma sleep, lucid dreams man, here I come

I walk up the flight of stairs, taking in the photos of my dad that are potato quality, so I don't know what he looks like. All I see is green on white on green. After what seems like ages of barely 360p quality photos, I reach my room, filled to the brim with All Might merch and memorabilia. My All Might sheet clad bed I finally go to bed. My head hits the pillow and-

*Ding*

Wake the fuck up

All Hp and Qp has been restored, cause you slept in your bed

So no lucid dream, I guess

*Scoff noise, but in his head*

Fuck no, you don't deserve that shit

Wake the fuck up

No dreams, huh. No more wet ones, I guess.

Ehh, i'll live. I walk outta my room

*Existence is paused*

Do you guys want me to describe everything. Or should I just be like, After a hearty breakfast, I make my way to school. You know what, i'll do that anyway

Well fuck you too then

*Back to normal*

After a hearty breakfast, I make my way to school, thinking about why the fuck the author is so great. Hey. I didn't say that. Why the fuck the author is so great. Hmm. Fuck you. Wow. Author man. That's really cool man.

I look at the bench that Kaachan and I usually sit at, and-

Ooooh, there's Kaachan

"Kaachan" I yell excitedly "D'you wanna be my party member" and his face scrunches up into one of confusion.

"The fuck do you mean, party member, dumbass. I'm not playing any more goddamn games"

"Awww, that sucks" I whine. "But no. I got my quirk. It's called Gamers Friend. It turned my life into a video game. With stats, and points, and a quirk tree and a-"

"Jesus Fuck deku, I get it. Calm down. Two fucking seconds after I get my quirk, you get this bullshit. Man, fuck this shit"

"That's not important Kaachan, what's important is whether or not you'll be my party member. Ignoring the fact that I don't know if this Quirk has a party system, I should check"

"Dumb fucking deku, doesn't even know how his quirk works"

Oh shut up Kaachan. Menu, appear.

*Dingy Dong*

The fucking menu.

Would you like to invite *Katsuki Bakugou* to your party.

This will give him a leveling system, and exp. He will not be able to access the quirk tree without the Authors permission

Kaachans face scrunches up, and I laugh. "You'll get used to it. Just say yes"

"Fine"

*Bing Bong*

The cunt said yes.

Minimap has now been toggled on, it shows the location of all available party members

I crack my knuckles one by one, smiling at the disgusted look Kaachan gives me. I Let out a laugh, my loudest one yet, and whisper quietly to myself

"Finally. My story begins"

After school, again, I know, bet you're dying to know what happens there, Kaachan and I head to the beach, to test our Quirks out, so we decide to head to Dagobah Beach.

Walking through the streets of Musutafu, a place that i've never really explored before, has me wondering.

What else have I missed, hanging out with Kaachan, and hero worship

"Hey Kaachan" I say "You wanna explore a bit before we get to the beach. We never really explored this place, did we"

I tense my legs, getting ready for what was inevitable

"No we didn't. Yeah. Not a bad idea, Deku. Not a bad idea"

I muster up as much strength as I can, when-

*Ding*

Strength and Vitality have increased by three temporarily because of how fucking hard those legs are tensing. Honestly, calm the fuck down

Stats as they are

Strength - 6

Intelligence - 5

Durability - 2

Charisma - 5 + 50% = 7.5

Dexterity - 6

Vitality - 5

There we go

I take of like a bullet, but slower, yelling behind me

"Betcha i'll get to the markets first"

"DEKU. GET BACK HERE YOU FUCK"

Sprinting through the streets of musutafu is an..

Experience, for lack of a better word

Families whizz past, the sound of childish laughter gracing my ears, the smell of something on my nose. Tingling, like a numb limb

I Run Faster and Faster and-

*DING x2*

Who cares about the game, all I care about is me, and my legs, pounding against the pavement.

My lungs, taking in air, taking out the things I can't use

My heart, moving the newly oxygenated blood, transporting to my legs

My legs, pounding against the pavement

I hear some crackles. I smell the sickly sweetness of Kaachans quirk. Caramel.

I run faster

At this point i've completely forgotten the market

All that matters is finding that smell. The one that smells like tingles.

I leap over a stall, the smell on my nose, when I see brown hair. The smell is stronger

I run faster again

I cross the road, ignoring the yells of passerbyers, ignoring the horns honking

They don't matter when i'm rolling over them. They don't matter when that smell is so close

I turn into an alley.

I grab the ladders and climb, the scent so close I can taste it

Finally, after what seems like a lifetime, I make it.

The sunset really is beautiful

And finally, I see it.

Her.

"Who are you" I hear distantly "Why were you chasing me". Her voice is cloudy, my head is fluffy.

"I..

I don't know why I was chasing you. I didn't know I was chasing you"

"Who are you" she asks again

I walk closer.

"You know, at this point, I don't care. You smell amazing, by the way. Did anyone ever tell you that."

"No. Is that your quirk"

"I don't know"

She looks me in the eye, and

Oh god, those big brown eyes

"I have to go" I say quickly, "I'm sorry if I scared you"

I turn around

"Usually, i'm not this sage or some shit. But the readers gotta get their cliff hanger. They have no idea what's going on, but the Author does. Oh he has plans for me. That was a massive character change, don't you think. Foreshadowing, maybe. Any way, I gotta go, see ya later.."

I put one foot on the ledge

"Uraraka Ochako"
