AN: The MC has some parts of their personality based on mine, but not all of it.


Chapter 1:

I never expected to get isekai'd. And certainly not into My Hero Academia. I mean, I guess it's not that bad, could have turned out way worse if I got reincarnated into Naruto, from which I know the most. No point to dwell on the universe choice however, since I got a life to live. Well, I will once my tiny baby body grows a bit.

I should definitely start planning though. Like, the important things: should I involve myself in the life of the protagonist? If anime logic still applies, then probably yes since I think most of the characters from the main class didn't die. It really sucks now that I have such limited knowledge. I know a bit about the start from the fanfics I read, but they were villain!Deku ones, and because of this they diverged rather early from canon. I do however have limited knowledge, so I should categorise it in my head.

It would be nice to have a quirk though. Back in the previous life, I was always fascinated by the concept of magic, mostly because it gave power without physical exercise, or the need to rely on other people. So yes, I hope I'll get a quirk.

I remembered that I once heard that the younger you were, the easier it was to learn new things. During these last couple of months, this turned out to be true, as I managed to quickly pick up japanese, even though I always struggled with language learning. I should learn a couple other languages while I'm young, it'll help me in the long run.

Nah, I'm too lazy for that.

It was determined that I was an odd child. I was quiet, and quoting others "very smart". This was a fair critique, given the size of my body.

I'm lonely again. It isn't a new sensation, I was never much of a people person, but being treated as a baby was just the worst.

The parents, honestly they were kind of meh. Like not bad but not that great either. I don't want to waste too much words on them, they aren't important.

It was determined that I have a quirk. No one knew what it is however. The doctor said that it'll probably activate in the near future.

I was down in the park. It was close to my fifth birthday, and my quirk hasn't activated yet. Kids on the playground all had their's, and those who didn't were labeled quirkless. The verbal bullying already began, but they were focusing on some other kid, sometimes throwing mean words at me. They didn't faze me, "I don't really care what other people's meaningless opinions are about me", that's what the logical part of my brain said. "We should show them who's the boss", was the thing that the emotional part of my brain said, not being helped by the fact that I was in the body of a four year old, and didn't have quite the grip on my emotions.

It was fine, for a while, I just sat on the swing, and I closed my eyes and enjoyed the wind as I moved. I certainly didn't expect to be rocked off by an explosion of all things.

I sat up from where I landed on the ground. There was a blond kid next to the swing, smirking, like he did a great deed. He looked very familiar, but at that moment my mind didn't continue that train of thought. No, it continued another one. One filled with rage.

I just sat there, I wasn't loud, I wasn't shouting back at the bullies (because he was one of them, I could see), and I didn't hurt anybody. And this little piece of shit just had to come here, and blow me off there, just to show it that he has that fancy little quirk. I can't stand these people.

And that was the part where I blacked out.

I woke up later, surprisingly, in the hospital. That was strange, to say the least. I wondered what happened. Maybe a spontaneous villain attack? That theory was quickly abandoned after I saw that I was alone in the room. And the window was locked. It wasn't normal glass, but some kind of stronger one.

A man came in, wearing a doctor's uniform. He asked me if he should start with the good news or bad news. I told him to start with the good.

He told me that I unlocked my quirk. That filled me with joy, and contrary to what he expected, he second sentence did too. I was told that my quirk is very strong. I shapeshift into some kind of black creature with a white mask, and attack everything around me, starting with that blond boy. It was only pure luck that a hero was just right around there, or he would have died. I made sure to look shocked at this, but inside I was gleeful. Shapeshifting, I never expected something this great. He told me that my quirk is very dangerous, and I should never attempt to use it alone, since if I attacked someone they might die. I made sure to look scared, and I guess I managed it more or less, after that, they left me alone for a little while.

I immediately started brainstorming. My quirk activated when I was angry, so maybe it's tied to my emotions. This one will be convenient to use as an excuse, to show bullies their place. I wonder if I can control the shapeshifting more, and maybe stay more in control, not just black out and let animalistic insticts, guided by my emotions do the job.

The parents of my new body also visited me, told me that it's not that bad to get a "bad" quirk, and I can find a career in other paths. Everyone acted like my quirk is bad, like I'm the unluckiest person just because I got it.

The next day we did some tests. Before I went into rage, my skin started cracking, like porcelaine. If I stopped before it shattered, I wouldn't activate my quirk. They didn't want to test that, so they just told me that whenever I feel angry, I should do breathing exercises, and not let my emotions control me. I nodded, and resolved to practice in private. One thing was clear however: I wanted to use this quirk, and for that I needed a hero-license. Another thought of mine was that it may also be beneficial to get close to the protagonist, so their plot armor would extend to me as well. It looked like I was going to UA then.


AN: I hope I didn't make it too edgy, I just wanted to write a protagonist that isn't like most others.

If you want to imagine the creature he transformed into, then check out No Face from "Spirited Away", when he turned into a giant monster, that's what I had in my mind when I wrote it.

My knowledge about MHA is limited as well, so I'll probably make some mistakes in the future.
