Izuku Midoriya collapsed into his bed panting once he got home from his 'Daily Quest' smiling proudly he looked over his rewards and stats that he had spent the last week honing.
"You have gained 5 Points to level up your stats! You have been recovered -20 fatigue! You have received random box... inside the box was Dungeon key"
'Hmm, what's this?'
Izuku looked at the key

Izuku looked down into the palm of his and looked at the key

In front of Izuku was the first entrance to Tatooin station Izuku looked at the key in his hand which was vibrating slightly.
"Would you like to use DUNGEON KEY? Y/N"
"Yes" Izuku said and suddenly Izuku knew exactly what to do. He grabbed the key in his hand and thrust it into the empty space in front of him. What appeared to be a wall came up behind him Izuku looked back at it and attempted to push his hand through. It didn't budge. Izuku nodded to himself as if in confirmation.
'As I thought, it's like a dungeon in a video game' as Izuku thought this a message came up in front of him.
"You cannot leave this dungeon until you have either defeated the boss, or use the Hearthstone"
Izuku walked down the flight of stairs to one of the main rooms.
Inside this particular room there was a wolf with Dark red fur and a set of iron teeth was a attached to bottom half of its jaw. Above it there was a name "Iron Jawed Raikan" the text was orange. The beast turned around and looked at Izuku with glowing red eyes. Izuku fell into a stance that he had seen Eraserhead use before. The beast lunged at Izuku who dodged to the right at the last second, watching in horror as the concrete buckled under the force of the lunge. In a few seconds the Raikan was lunging again Izuku once again dodged, but this time he also went for an attack of his own, it felt like hitting a wall.
Izuku jumped away again, barely dodging the wild claw that was sent his way. The fight continued this way Izuku dodging the beast's powerful attacks while hitting it once or twice where he could. 'Dammit, if only I had a weapon or item of some…' a lightbulb lit itself over Izuku's head.
"Inventory!" Izuku shouted, a display came up. The word 'Inventory' was in bold at the top and underneath it there was numerous small boxes. One box in the top left corner had an icon of a sword on it. Izuku reached out to the screen and thought about pulling the weapon out of the inventory. The weapon responded to his command. A wakizashi pulled appeared in his hand as if being pulled from the inventory.
It was the wakizashi from the Sludge villain incident. "I don't know why this was in there but now I can fight" Izuku said while looking at the wolf. Once more the Raikan lunged forwards but this time Izuku charged at it. He ducked under the savage attack and stabbed upwards into the beast's heart. He pulled the weapon through the rest of the way using both the monster's momentum and his now improved strength.
A ping went through his head. "Level Up!" A growl sounded behind him. Izuku looked at the two Raikan walking up to him. He hadn't turned his entire body so most of it was still in shadow. A single glowing green eye stared at the enemies creeping towards him. When the Raikan lunged so did he. After this everything was a blur. He killed countless Raikan, cleaving through the enemy hoards like a hot knife through butter.
"Level Up!"
"Level Up"
"Level Up"
"Level Up"
…
…
…

After a while Izuku stopped, looking at the area around him. There was a hallway shrouded in shadow
Then his inventory.
Items:
34 Raikan fangs
2 worn daggers
Travelers clothes
Hearthstone
…
"A hearthstone huh?" Izuku remembered back to when he first entered the dungeon. "I could just leave right now. Dissolve the dungeon, be done with it, but… I don't know when I'll get another opportunity like this" Izuku said pondering over his options. 'Advance or retreat? Advance or retreat?' Izuku investigated the dark hallway up ahead "Advance!" Izuku said to himself walking towards the hallway. After another bout of brutally intense fighting with dozens more Raikan and even a few other enemies. 'I can feel it, I can feel myself getting stronger!' Izuku thought giddily. Izuku came to a halt in front of a set of stairs an ominous aura flowed up the staircase "but I don't think I can handle whatever is down there".
"That's 100% the boss room" Izuku said. Izuku looked at his stats.

Then at his weapon, the wakizashi that had served him faithfully throughout the entirety of the dungeon was looking rather worn, missing chips of metal at various points along the small blade. 'It's probably going to break soon' Izuku thought.
"I'm ready." Izuku reassured himself, but his already low self-esteem was arguing with him… "I. Have. To. Do. This" Izuku growled to himself. He started walking down the stairs, readying his weapon.
Izuku's eyes widened at the sight before him, the usually clean interior of Tatooin station had turned into a swamp. A giant snake was coiled in the centre of the platform.
"Swamps ruler blue poison fangs Rasaka" the giant snake lunged at him barely a blur to Izuku's honed eyes. 'what is that speed?!' Izuku thought as he raised his blade in defence. The impact sent him flying backwards into one of the station walls. Blood escaped from his mouth, which was wide in a silent scream. "*Hurk*". Izuku fell to the floor. On his hands and knees Izuku slowly pushed himself back up.
The giant snake let out a mighty hiss, showing of its front fangs which were each more than two times longer than his wakizashi. Which, speaking of was now incredibly broken. Izuku gave a grim nod while having a mild panic attack. "So, you must be the boss of this place" Izuku stated.
Rasaka hissed again and lunged. Izuku, now smiling like a maniac met the charge.

"That… was an incredibly challenging fight" Izuku said through heavy pants. Izuku knew he had to move but didn't want to, he found his seat upon the corpse of the giant snake rather comfortable.
"Alert"
"You have slain Swamps ruler blue poison fang Rasaka!"
"Let's see, I look like shit, my clothe are ruined, I'm covered in blood and my weapon is broken… On the other hand…" Izuku looked at the katana in his right hand.
"Rasaka's right fang"
-Item class: C
-Item type: Katana
-+25 Atk
A weapon crafted from the right fang of the great Rasaka! Still covered in his poison it has a chance to paralyse the enemy, also thins blood increasing bleed.
Status effects:
-Paralysis 30% chance
-Bleed 30% chance"
"Yeah, it's worth it" Izuku said. As Izuku stood up to leave, the dungeon dissolved the around him. Izuku simply stood in shock for a moment before continuing onwards, noting the lack of damage to the environment where he had caused it. "Must be like a pocket dimension or something" Izuku said.

"YOU! CITIZEN YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO BR HERE!" a police officer yelled at Izuku. Izuku looked around for a bit then seeing no one else pointed at himself. Mouthing the word 'me'
"Yes, you kid!" the officer said a little calmer now.
"Oh, I'm so sorry officer" Izuku said bashfully. The officer's face softened.
"It's okay kid, just scram before I have to tell my superiors about you" the officer said making shooing motions while doing so.
"Okay, but may I ask why?" there's a villain attack nearby, where making sure nobody can come and help him" the officer said, "Now go"
"Of course, officer" and with that Izuku rushed away from the station.
Izuku soon found himself at the site of the villain attack. The villain had some form of gigantification quirk, which also gave him increased durability. Izuku grabbed the broken dagger out of his inventory, 'Well, might as well use it for something heroic' Izuku thought as he threw the broken dagger at the enemy. Izuku smiled to himself as the Giant went down.
Out of the corner of their eye one of the heroes swore she saw someone leaving with a smile on their face. Just after she saw this one of the other heroes found a broken dagger embedded in the Villains ribs. 'Just who was that' Nejire thought going back to her head hero Ryukyu. 'I hope I get to meet him one day.' Little did she know she would meet him very soon.w
