In the shop menu, there are a list of items that are payments for the skill card he saw before. Which he can use G Currency to exchange.

[Quest Alert: Rescue Bakugo Katsuki & Survive]
"Fuck, you just do whatever you want, stupid system. Open Skill Card" As Izuku see the time has been count down. He quickly grabs the bag floating in the air and selects [Swap Place] as the countdown hit the zero.
"Swap Place!"
[Swap Place Scroll has been selected]
[The target are Bakugo Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku's School bag]
The Moment the world resume moving. With a scroll appear in his hand, a magic circle in the scroll has been active.
Before the Sludge Villain would have notice, The hostage he held in his body have been replace with the bag
"What the" The villain began to panic as his hostage has been taken away without him knowing. He quickly scans the surrounding until he sees a lanky boy with green hair running not to far away from him
"Deku, What the fuck has you done!" Katsuki who realizes that (he) been release from the clutch of the villain. (He) doesn't know what happen at all. A moment ago, (he) was being held hostage. Now (he) was being carry by Who (he) despises the most and in a princess carry pose!
'Why did he feel so big, what happened' that was when Katsuki realizes something has change but before Katsuki can check (his) body for a change, (he) could see the villain from over the shoulder of Izuku
"Where do you think you're going, stupid brat?" Izuku could hear the Sludge Villain leaping over him.
'Damn system, please pause now' Izuku could only pray for the system to pause the world again. But nothing happens. He was still running and the villain almost got to him now.
So, Izuku did the only rational thing he could think of. "Sorry Kacchan"
Izuku throw Katsuki forward away from him hoping that Katsuki would have run away easily
"Stupid Brat playing Hero, eh?" In his last moment, Izuku turn his head to see the ugly face of the villain. Many things run through his head in his soon to be final moment, how he doesn't want to died, how he has yet become a hero, how his mother gonna feel losing her only son.
"DIED! Sludge Whip!" The Villain Spin his body and focus a power on one of his limps then slam down at the poor boy.
"IZUKU!" Izuku think he must be hallucinated as he can hear Kacchan call him with his real name again.
People call him No.1 Hero. But here he was standing there, hesitate like a coward. When in front of him, A young boy with no quirk. Whose dream have been crushed by his along admired hero.
'Pathetic'
He watches as the boy knowing that he can't get away so, he chooses to sacrifice himself.
He watches as the poor boy get crushed by the attack of the villain.
'Pathetic'
He can only grit his teeth reluctantly, unable to intervene because of his injured.
He watches as the boy's ember of life slowly fade away.
He watches as the rescued girl cry.
'Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic'
"R… R... UN…" in his final moment, the boy painfully whispers as he looks at the girl.
'Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic, Pathetic'
This is the only word he can label himself with. How can he call himself hero. When in front of him, the most heroic hero of them all is a quirkless teenager. With that feeling burning inside of him, the hero named 'All Might' grit his teeth and activate his quirk. A once lanky man then became muscular, befitting of the title No.1 Hero
"Boy, you already a hero" He was supposed to smile as a symbol of peace but now he just feels so much rage inside him as he faces off the villain
"A… All MIGHT!" The Sludge Villain was panic as he was overwhelming by the tremendous aura of the so-called No.1 Hero, especially when that face is lacking his trademark smile.
"Detroit Smash!"
…..
...
..
.
Darkness… all he can see is darkness surrounding him. He feels like he was just floating there unable to move or do anything at all, actually he doesn't feel his body at all.
'Am I… dead' He thought, recall his most recent memory. He could vaguely remember help someone then attacked by the villain. In fact, he could feel as if the existence of Midoriya Izuku falling apart. Soon, he will forget everything and being erase from the existence.

[You unlock the Title One in the world In-Between]
"Boy! You Awake" When Izuku was awake, the first face he sees was his long-timed idol. Confusingly, he scans his surroundings. It seems like he was now at a hospital.
"Boy, I know you are confused. But calm down first" Izuku can feel All Might firm hand on his shoulder bringing him back to reality.
"All Might, what happen… more importantly what about Kacchan. Is he safe?" When He say that His idol just smiles happily.
"Your friend is safe now"
'Though there is some complicated stuff, I better left out for now'
"More importantly, I want to talk about you" All might say as he returns to lanky form. Izuku just realize that he was in a private room and now there is only two of them now.
"Me?"
"Yes, let me tell you what happen after you was attacked by that villain" When Izuku recall the incident, he could remember it clearly. Her remember the villain's face before being attacked. He remembers the impact of the attack, he remembers the pain, the suffering, the feeling of his conscious slowly lost before…
"I died" that when it actually hit him. The boy rushing out to vomit in the toilet. He could still feel the coldness that embrace him in the darkness.
"Boy that what I want to ask you, how are you able to survive? Did you really quirkless?" All Might wait for Izuku to calm down on his own then ask him when he finally come out of the toilet.
"Yes, I am… no, actually, let me check something first" Izuku feel like he wants vomit again but decide against it as he come back to sit on his bed

'I can still access to the Gamer system but it says I am Quirkless'
"All Might, this may sound stupid but I got something like a system log and it turn my life into an RPG game." Izuku begin explaining start from the first time he got the first message from system.
"According to the status windows, I am still Quirkless though."
"Maybe someone who have the quirk Gamer use their ability on me. That is quite scary on it own though" This was the theory Izuku come up with. Even though he said that, he can hardly believe it himself. He can't help but laugh dryly.
"…" All Might was not laughing or smiling, he was deep in thought with a serious expression.
"Uh… All Might" Izuku was nervous when he sees All Might's Expression.
"Let's talk about that next time but let's keep this secret between us for now" All Might reassured "The Origin of this Power maybe suspicious but it did save your life. Let's leave it at that"
"To the next topic, I want to apologize to you and also thank you" Izuku was surprised when The Symbol of Peace Bow his head before him.
"I also have an offer for you" said All Might as he lift his head up to look Izuku in the eyes
"Because of your action, you who are powerless but have what it takes to act for the sake of others. Even if it means risking your life. If not because of you, I would have forgotten the principle I hold as a Hero" All Might's every word was loud and clear. Izuku can't help but trembles as each word pierce his heart.
"And I see that in you, With that same principle as a foundation, Midoriya-Shonen, you too." Izuku was always doubting himself even though he determined to became a Hero. Deep down he never believes that a Quirkless people can become a hero. But now, the hero he admires the most are saying what he always yearns to hear for almost all his life.
"YOU CAN BECOME A HERO"
