The god… Ludsin. The new world he had sent izuku and the others was called『Uderon.』It was similar to Earth, but it was a world where science and magic blended into each other.

The forty people reborn in『Uderon』were in wonder at the differences between this world and Earth. They were born to new parents, saved by various moments of good fortune, made use of the special powers ingrained in there original quirk and reunited with each other and recognized one another through their destinies.

They kept their rebirth a secret amongst themselves, but before they knew it, they were known as the heroes.

Excluding the 41st person.

ludsin was the god who ruled over the circle of life and death,

for the souls of many worlds, including Earth and Uderons. He was not directly worshipped by the people, and he didn't entrust anything to clergymen. Nor was he able to directly intervene by descending onto a world to perform miracles.

What he was capable of doing was controlling the circle of life and death of souls and, very occasionally, altering it. However, he had almost never made any alterations to the circle before.

This was because the system of the circle of life and death was very well-made; there were almost no situations that required Ludsin to adjust it.

However, a problem had occurred recently.

The circle of life and death for one of the worlds that he managed was slower than those of the other worlds.

While the other worlds were proceeding as normal, this problematic world had come to a standstill for quite some time.

Magic, martial arts, literature, science, engineering, art, cuisine. A repetitive pattern was occurring in a wide variety of fields where development would happen, but then be lost soon after.

The countries repeatedly annihilated because of demon king ranpages and internal skirmishes ; a thousand years passed with no progress to show for it. From time to time a hero would appear and one of two smaller countries that had been at war would win and absorb the loser to form a single, larger country. But such larger countries were unable to unify properly and eventually divided, giving rise to conflict once again.

There existed gods who directly controlled that world and led its people. However, to protect the world from a Demon King who had previously appeared in another world, they had to summon heroes from other worlds and fight the Demon King together with them. Ever since then, they had been unable to regain their former power.

It was necessary for this world's advancement to continue through any means necessary. It was currently in a state of stagnation, but one event could trigger a sudden decline in development.

As the world declined, fewer souls passed through the circle of life and death , posing a danger for Ludsin existence

.

As Ludsin wondered what to do, he heard rumors from axis gods to be more specific

from aqua who managed cycle of life and death for axis believers . that if you took a soul from a world called [Earth] that retained all of their former memories experience and quirks , bestowed powers that correlate with there quirk upon them and had them reborn into a world, that world would develop in a good direction at an alarming pace.

It was a rumor that he wanted to believe in. It seemed absurd to think. that a single person with memories experience

and a minor power of their past life and cheat-like powers bestowed upon them could have such a large impact on an entire world.

Even so, it was worth testing. In the problematic world, the gods had summoned several heroes from other worlds to battle the Demon King. It was a direct summoning of living inhabitants of [Earth], so they had not received cheat-like abilities and divine fortune. Even so, they were victorious against the likes of Demon King.

Furthermore, most of the heroes lost their lives in the battle, but even in their short time on this world, they had made a lasting impact further developing stagnant worlds.

And there would be no better time to test this rumor than now, when there were no Demon Kings or evil gods. With no events like battles between gods and abnormal beings that could challenge them, if heroes were granted cheat-like powers, they would surely have an even more profound impact on the world's development.

Fortunately, using his position, Ludsin could feed the souls of the dead back into the problematic world, causing their rebirth into that world as many times as he desired. It wasn't a difficult task to have them retain memories of their previous lives, either .

As for the cheat-like abilities, he could prepare them by using his ordinary god-powers that he had been saving.

However, he was uneasy with the idea of reincarnating only one person. Just in case, he should use a bunch more people.

And with good timing, just as Ludsin had finished his preparations, around a forty Japanese people died. According to what he'd heard, they were inhabitants of an island country with advanced knowledge of science and economics, as well as a peculiar culture.

With nobody around to object, Ludsin decided to exclude the souls of the villans from among those of the Japanese people who had died on the ferry and reincarnate the rest.

However, they would be reincarnated not on the problematic world, but in『Uderon.』

For the purpose of executing his plan perfectly, Ludsin chose Uderon as a place where the souls could live through a practice run so that they could accumulate knowledge and experience. With their original quirk and bestowed cheat lie power .

Once these souls completed their second lives in Uderon, he would grant them new powers and destinies once more and have them reincarnated again on the problematic world.

With this much time and effort spent on this plan, it would surely go had to go well.

However, not being used to having to do such tasks, Ludsin had made one small error. Even a god could not predict that this error would cause his expectations to come crashing down one day.

As if foreshadowing such events, a soul appeared before Ludsin, having finished its second life.

Ludsin had expected some differences in their timings depending on the order in which he had reincarnated them. But given the expected lifespan of a human, this was far too quick a reunion. However, he had predicted that this soul would be the first to appear.

「As I expected, you were unable to complete your entire lifespan, Midoriya Izuku.」(Ludsin)

The one that had appeared was the 41st reincarnated soul, without any quirk ,power, destiny or fortune. It was the soul of Midoriya Izuku.

The soul of Midoriya Izuku that had appeared before Ludsin was covered in multiple wounds and hole in body , and shrouded in despair filled Mana.

「why does this happened to me ... ? . Not only they never come to save me but when i managed to get out from there they had audacity to kill me ! I'll never forgive them! even if I'm reborn I'll never forgive them! I'll never forgive kacchan and That goes for you as well you damned god !」(Izuku)

Midoriya Izuku was born in a holy city atresia in Uderon.

Ludsin had told him that he would never live a blessed life. Those words became reality; he experienced nothing but misfortune from the moment he was born.

His mother was a prostitute and his real father had abandoned her before he was born. His mother found a new lover who made the decision to sell the baby Izuku to buy alcohol, to which she didn't object.

The ones who bought Izuku was a orphanage run by church that carried out illegal research on magic . As he was examined there, it became clear that he was more inept at magic than any ordinary person in Uderon.

In Uderon, there were seven attributes of magic that could be used – the four elements of earth, water, fire and air as well as the additional attributes of holy, demonic and space. It was common knowledge that everyone had at least one attribute out of those seven that they had an affinity for.

However, Izuku demonstrated no aptitude for any attribute whatsoever, let alone any affinity. In other words, he was an existence that defied logic, inferior to even an ordinary person.

But the people of the church realized that Izuku owned a vast Mana pool that was far greater than that of any person including mighty heroes.

He had incredible amounts of Mana even though he had no aptitude for any attribute. This was a bizarre contradiction in the eyes of the cardinals. And among them, one suddenly came up with an idea.

「It's not that this experimental subject has no affinity for any attribute. Rather, there's another attribute that we've not discovered that this subject has an affinity for. Isn't that possible?」(cardinal)

From that point, their research began. It was around then that Izuku's memories of his previous life returned.

After several years of research with Izuku as a human subject, they discovered the eighth attribute – the attribute of cronos. The cardinals had Izuku learn the cronos-attribute magic that they had discovered and reconstructed his entire body, including his brain, to continue their research and experiments.

「BASTARD!」(Izuku)

However, the circumstances that Izuku was in ended with one word. [Trap]

When he had regained his memories of his previous life, his body was filled with explosives; his life had been taken hostage. And around him were the researchers that viewed him not as a human being, but as an experimental animal.

Izuku no longer needed basic education such as language or how to read and write, but he had no freedom whatsoever.

Not only that; if he showed any signs of rebellion, he would receive an electrical shock and be left convulsing on the floor.

He spent his days eating food that was nutritious, yet more plain than food fed to prisoners, and doing exactly as the cardinals instructed him to in whatever experiments they desired to carry out.

Even though he had awakened his ability to use cronos-attribute magic, he couldn't leave the laboratory.

Izuku covered his body in cronos-attribute magic and desperately gathered power in his hand. Completely inept with any other attribute of magic, through sheer effort, he covered himself in cronos-attribute magic.

He developed many different uses for his magic, contributing towards the church, the cardinal and the holy country they belonged to. However, right until the end, Izuku's work went unrewarded.

This was because the cardinals were aware of his usefulness to them, but they also feared his insubordination. As Izuku's usefulness increased, this fear also grew.

The explosives in his body were buried not only in the heart, but also in the brain. His torso housed a GPS to prevent his escape. His right eyeball was been replaced by an artificial eye containing a special camera and a listening device was planted in his mouth and ears to catch even the smallest whisper.

His food intake was limited so that he would never have more physical strength than necessary. His room was small and he was never allowed to leave it except for experiments.

To make him more able to use cronos-attribute magic, to increase the size of his Mana pool – They reconstructed his body for a variety of reasons.

In order to ensure that he wouldn't somehow make an ally to plan an escape or rebellion, the guards who watched him and the operator that gave them direct orders were rotated often, so that he wouldn't be in contact with any individual in particular for an extended period of time.

And finally, they carried out an inhumane procedure on his brain, cutting off his control over his body's Mana and making him their puppet.

At this time, Izuku wasn't even ten years old. And from this age, he spent over ten more years in this hell where he couldn't even move a single finger of his own accord.

Even after about ten years of this situation, Izuku's mind did not cave in. A reason for that would be the memories of his mother Midoriya inko that had been able to somewhat maintain his sanity . Another reason was that he had hope that... that kacchan or herores would come to rescue him from this hell.

However, Izuku died.

He was unable to withstand the reckless experiments carried out by the newer cardinals, who were trying to surpass the results produced by their predecessors.

It was ironic that through death, Izuku regained his freedom. Through the death of his body, his soul regained its control over his Mana.

Izuku by use of his time attribute magic manage to stop time for his body turned his own body into an sort of Undead to go on a rampage, fueled by his hatred.

He tore those who had toyed with his life to pieces and squeezed the cardinals that begged for their lives as if they were pieces of wet cloth. He made sport of the military personnel as he killed them.

As Izuku continued rampaging after killing everyone in the orphnage, not satisfied with this revenge, familiar faces appeared before him.

『Ooh…!』

Izuku raised his voice in joy at the sight of these dozens of people, as their faces were familiar to him.

Their features were a little different, but most of them were his classmates in the same year as him in his previous life.

Fujimoto Kurumi was among them as well.

They were Izuku's classmates who had been reincarnated in Uderon with him. They were his hope.

One day they would definitely find him; they would definitely come to rescue him. For the past twenty years, Izuku had never stopped believing that.

They were a little late, but he wasn't one to complain. Let's celebrate our reunion, let's redo our second lives, I'm sure it's possible now that all of these companions are here, he thought.

Trembling in joy, Izuku took one step towards them.

「Everyone, commence attack!」

However, at the command of a young man who appeared to be the leader of his companions, Izuku was struck by simultaneously-released magical attacks.

『Wait! Why are you attacking me?! I'm your ally, I'm one of your companions!』

Izuku's screams were drowned out by blazing hellfire, blades of wind, piercing cold and devastating lightning. Izuku, who had approached his companions with no thoughts of defending himself, was completely bewildered as he fell, his body fatally wounded.

「That was surprisingly quick. Considering that we heard that a powerful Undead had risen.」

「Well, there's twenty-four out of us forty heroes gathered here. There's no way we'd have trouble with that.」

Above Izuku's head, familiar voices were having a conversation.

Forty people? A forty people, you said? NO! There were a forty and one of us, including me, there's a fourty and one!

He wanted to shout those words, but his throat had already been cut; he could not even let out a moan.

His right arm was completely burned and blackened; his left arm had gone flying off somewhere else. His legs had been torn off at some point; he could see his left leg in the corner of his vision.

His head and torso were in a terrible state as well.

「The reason we didn't have any trouble is because this Undead let its guard down. Cronos-attribute magic… What a terrifying magic.」

Looking in the direction of this voice with the only eyeball that he could move, Izuku saw Fujimoto Kurumi standing there. She had matured more than she had in her previous life; she was now an adult woman.

「Ah, he's another victim of this orphanage .」

Next to her stood a young man, the leader who had given the attack command. Judging from the distance between them, he knew that this man and Kurumi were intimate with each other.

「I'm sure he wants us to kill him.」

「You're right, Bakugo.」(Kurumi)

Bakugo…? Bakugo? Katsuki Bakugo?! This guy is Kacchan?!

「Let's at least finish him off so that he doesn't have to suffer anymore.」(Kurumi)

「That's the best thing we can do for him. Kurumi, let's do it together.」(Katsuki)

Don't fuck with me! Why the hell are you the one standing there?! Why are you trying to finish me off with such a heroic look on your face?!

Why is it you, why the fuck did it have to be you?!

It's all your fault that my first life was such a disaster! Forty heroes? You're treating me as an outcast and killing me?!

Izuku let out a cry, but he was unable to withstand the bright light coming from the hands of Bakugo and Kurumi and turned into dust.

「Everything is your fault! You call yourself a god?! Second life, my ass! You cast me into a hell even worse than my previous life!」(Izuku)

Izuku's fist that had been distorted like there multiple version of fist coiling around it, but it didn't even graze Ludsin. That was just the result of the difference in power between quirkless powerless man and god.

「I am aware that I did a terrible thing to you.」(Ludsin)

Saying the same thing as he had said before, Ludsin explained the circumstances he was facing to Izuku's derpressed soul. The information was transmitted to him directly by some godly power and permeated through his mind in an instant.

「… So you're saying there's a third time?」(Izuku)

「That is correct. This is something that has been prepared since you were first reborn in Origin. This time, you do not have the choice to refuse, and I cannot interrupt it.」(Ludsin)

What absurd nonsense this was. However, to Izuku, this nonsense was like finding a ship when he needed to cross*.

「I see… Then in the next world, I'll kill them! The ones who killed me, I won't leave any of them alive! I died first, right?! In that case, I'm going to be the one who reincarnates for the second time first, so I'll have the advantage! This time, I'll be the one who kills them!」(Izuku)

I'll become an adult before them, gain power and then find Bakugo katsuki and the others among the children and kill them all! That should be possible even for someone like me with no special power.

「Now hurry up and grant me all that stuff, Kami-sama*. This time you've got a destiny and fortune for me, right? After all, this time i have time attribute magic from my previous life according to your rule i have power and experience from my previous life right ?!」(Izuku)

「… I have no power to bestow onto you.」(Ludsin)

As if lightly pushing against Izuku's soul, Ludsin pressed his palm into Izuku.

「Eh?」(Izuku)

With just that, Izuku began to speed up and fall towards somewhere.

「At this point, the only thing I can do is add something. I cannot give you a power.」(Ludsin)

「Why?! I'm the only one with nothing again, how is that possible?!」(Izuku)

「Because I cannot allow the others to be killed by you.」(Ludsin)

Ludsin spoke to Izuku as he grew smaller and smaller, apologizing.

「If you kill the others, the world's development will be hindered. Your death on Uderon was the product of a great amount of misfortune. The same goes for the fact that Bakugo katsuki and the others were unaware of your existence, even until the very end. But even if I say that, you will not be satisfied.」(Ludsin)

After Izuku had died on the ship, before he was reincarnated, he had been standing at the edge of where all of the souls had gathered. Because of that, nobody had seen Izuku.

Furthermore, there had only been one person to refuse to be reincarnated in a new world.

And the final point was that he had been the very last person to be reincarnated.

Because of these things, Bakugo katsuki and the others had explained his absence by thinking,「he must have somehow survived and didn't die with us」or「he must have refused to be reincarnated, like that other person.」

In addition, the repeated experiments on Izuku's body had changed the shape of his face completely, to the point that Kurumi hadn't even been able recognize him.

「All of this misfortune was caused by my own clumsiness. I wished for you to look forward and live on without giving up or resenting anyone, but unfortunately you were put on a path that made that impossible. Through your discovery of time-attribute magic and development of new magic, you contributed towards Origin's advancement. I hope that you can forgive me for being unable to repay you in any way and forcing you to endure a third life of misfortune.」(Ludsin)

But even as Izuku's soul grew more distant, Ludsin could feel Izuku telling him that this would never be forgiven.

「Therefore, all I can do is to have you give up on your foolish revenge before you can commit any sin and hope that you will quickly end your own life.」(Ludsin)

And then, in the palm of Ludsin's hand, something like a ball of slime appeared. In the next moment, it hit Izuku's body.

「?!」(Izuku)

As Izuku screamed in agony in response to the violent pain, Ludsin spoke.

「This is a curse. It can never be lifted. With this curse, you will never be able to gain new powers even in this new world. However, I promise you that for your fourth life I will fullfill all of your wishes and return you to the [earth] normal circle of life and death with your memory intact .」(Ludsin)

With no time to object to Ludsin's undesirable promise, Izuku's mind went blank.
