He was running. There was no time. Izuku had an hour till heroes would be chasing him down as a vigilante. The first thing he had to do was get somewhere safe. He thought of the patrols of the heroes that worked at U.A. The only ones he thought he might be able to take on without major damage would be either Midnight, or Eraserhead. He had no clue how his and Midnight's quirks would interact with each other, so the next best bet would be Eraser's patrol routes. So it was off to Naruhata to try and set up some sort of base.
By train it took him about a half an hour. Now he needed somewhere where he could sleep. He had two skills he would most likely need for the path ahead of him. He started to run though alleyways looking for the warehouse district. It was then that he ran into a slightly taller man wearing an All Might hoodie, and a mask. He looked him up and down, also noticing knee and elbow pads, and some sort of impact resistant gloves.
"Hey kid, you alright? Although I guess I couldn't be calling you kid, I'm most likely not too much older than you." The man spoke in a higher voice than expected based on his physique. "Are you hurt? Why are you running?" The man crouched down slightly to look into Izuku's eyes. Then it dawned on him.
"THAT'S A LIMITED EDITION YOUNG AGE ALL MIGHT HOODIE!" He yelled right into the face of the man in front of him. He started to inspect it and looked it over. "But if you are wearing an All Might hoodie, protective gear, and a mask, you must be, The Crawler! What great luck to run into you right after my debut as a vigilante…" The boy continued to mumble on, all while the man started to tear up.
"SOMEONE GOT MY NAME RIGHT!" He was about to hug Izuku when he started to hear his mumbling, and cut him off. "Wait, debut as a vigilante? What do you mean kid?"
"Oh! I saved a girl from something to do with the Yakuza, and turned her into Principal Nezu, and then was told to run. Crazy right? I mean what are the chances that I ran into someone affiliated with an old crime network? Now I have nowhere to sleep, eat or train my quirk!" Izuku weirdly said all of this with a smile as tears slowly started to fill his eyes.
"Hey, HEY!" The Crawler shook Izuku by his shoulders a bit. "It's going to be okay, you can come stay with me and train with me. I don't know if I would be able to accommodate another mouth to feed, but you can come along." He picked up Izuku and put him on his back, then got down on all fours. "Hold on!" He slowly lifted up off the ground, and zipped right through the alleyway, then up a wall. Izuku was holding onto his body tightly.
At the top of the building, was a small shack that looks like it could barely hold one person. There was a clothes line going off it that was full of All Might hoodies, and a skirt weirdly enough. As Izuku went up to the door, his hand was stopped by The Crawler. "Wait." He knocked on the door, and yelled inside, "Honey, I'm coming in with a guest."
"AHH! Give me a minute!" Izuku heard a feminie voice from inside, which he guessed was the person that skirt belonged to. A few minutes later a, what looked like a highschool girl about his age, came out.
"Hey Kid!" She had poofy pink hair, popping out on both sides of her head. Her eye was blue and she had an eyepatch, then Izuku looked down and freaked out blushing, as she was in a succubus outfit. "You ruined my surprise for The Crawler!" Izuku was still freaking out as she looked at him angrily.
The Crawler was the first to speak up. "You've gotten pretty good at quickly changing into your outfit!" She pouted and turned away from him. "Come on! He's just a scared kid who accidentally became a vigilante like me! How was I supposed to pass up the opportunity to take him in?!"
She looked back at him with a mixed face of shock and anger. "Did you just say you would take him in?!" Crawler quickly put his hands up as to surrender.
"Yes but what else was I supposed to do! Tell me!" At which point Izuku started to laugh.
"Sorry it's just you two are bickering like an old couple, while I just need to tell you that I only need a night is enough to stop it. I need a good night's rest to recharge, then I'm good to go on the road." He was giggling the whole time explaining it.
"Wait what! Oh no you don't! We still are heroes, even if the law doesn't say we are!" This time the girl spoke up. Which confused both Izuku and…
"Huh? Weren't you against taking him in?" The Crawler looked with quite a bit of confusion.
"Of course not!" She bonked him on the head. "How can we leave someone on the street after finding out they are running because they helped someone! He's Haimawari and I'm Haneyama. Got it? Good! You're staying here till you can actually get a place to stay!" Izuku put his hands up this time.
"With who I'm going after, I can't let others get involved. Just one night, I insist."
"Well who are you going after?" Haimawari questioned. "Also, you can just call me Koichi. Most people do anyway without my permission. So just go ahead."
"Ah well Haimawari to be honest with you, I'm going after Shie Hassaikai and the Yakuza..." As soon as Izuku said that, Koichi's face went much more grim, and gave off a dark aura in of itself. The roof around his feet cracked deepy, and Izuku could hear his teeth grinding. Haneyama ran up and grabbed him, shaking him harshly.
"HEY! I'm okay! I'm right here! They aren't going to hurt me anymore!" At that point she slapped him. He shook his head, and snapped back to reality.
"Sorry, I just remembered what they did to you." Koichi reached his hand up and held her face, on the same side that her eyepatch was on. Izuku looked at them for a minute before Koichi broke the silence yet again. "Yeah, if you are going after those scumbags, you are going to need our help! We have a ton of information on them and we can even get you in contact with our pro hero contact!"
"Um…" Izuku started to tear up "Thanks for all your help!" He bowed while letting out a stream of tears.
"You really cry a lot. You know that kid?" Koichi said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Yes I know!" Izuku said brushing his hand off and standing back upright.
It was Izuku's first morning and he awoke with three notifications right in his face. Well four if you count stacking messages. He groggily got up and started reading them.
You slept in a slightly uncomfortable cot! You regained 80% of your total focus and health!
He swiped it away, and started reading the next.
Due to you getting your first Rare skill, Congrats! You unlocked the [Race] system. You will no longer be a "Normal" human anymore! Your rare skill will be converted into a choice between three races!
He just sighed. Of course there would be more than meets the eye with his quirk. Of course there would be something to make him look weirder than just interacting with something that wasn't there. He swiped it away and saw two little gift boxes, one with the price tag of "Rare" and the other "Uncommon." He opened the rare one first.
Welcome to the rarest races of your world! Each one comes with a skill, as well as a hidden feature that will become known at level ten! Each one also opens up new trees of skills that are race specific!
Behind door number one: Dhampir! Not quite a human, not quite a Vampire! They lie right in the middle. They are not hurt easily, as well as needing to feed off blood from some sort of animal! The skill you gain with this race is Feeding Lv 1: If you consume enough flesh of an animal or even human, you gain access to their skills. The more fresh and more you eat the more skills you gain.
If that isn't your cup of tea, try Ki Shifter! These legendary martial artists had ascended to the next stage of evolution, allowing them to take on physical traits of their spirit animals. The most common form seems to be referred to werewolf. Although the downside is during the night, when energy soars, they can lose control and transform, taking on a personality of their spirit animal in its purest form. The skill you gain from this race is Shift Lv Max: Take on the physical traits of your spirit animal and gain the instinct in order to properly use them.
Inside door number three, we have a Shaped Slime! This race comes with a few ups and downs, the first being that you must eat about two times more than you already do to stay stable. Although you can eat almost anything! You become the next evolution of the classic RPG slime! You keep your form, and can change it slightly. It is innately the weakest of the three options. The skill you gain is, Shapechange Lv 1: You can modify the shape of your appearance, like changing height and length of hair. You need to consume mass in order to change it. These changes become permanent until you change again.
Izuku looked at the choices in front of him. He started to mumble to himself. "Well it seems like the system gave them to me in order of power, then theoretically I should take Dhampire, although I don't really want to be bound to consuming blood. Especially while I am trying to clear my name. Ki shifter also seems good. Although I don't want to see what the rage and strength of a dragon combined with the defensiveness and wisdom of a turtle could be like during a rampage. Shaped slime seems like it could be very good for hiding, but not much else. If I am going into hiding, it should be the best answer."
The other two vigilanties just looked at Izuku like he was crazy, muttering to himself right after waking up, along with talking about consuming blood and the rage of a dragon. Whatever that could mean. Then he reached up and it looked like he pressed something that wasn't there. Then suddenly it was as if a wave of green gelatin was cast over his body, and he just shook that off.
Izuku then reached up for the next skill. Three were laid out in front of him.
Juggernaut: Gain strength equal to 2.5% of max health, and add strength into your max health formula.
Izuku had to do a double take at that one. It seemed extremely powerful. Almost like any game that had that built in would have balance issues. He couldn't wait to see what the other two looked like.
[Racial] Chromatic: Allows the user to change the colors of their body, as much as they would like. This aligns with the changes made from Shapechange.
Izuku seemed disappointed at first. Then he realized. If he was going to be moving around as a vigilante, then being able to be a completely different person seemed like an easy choice. He should still look at the other option though.
Increased Lung Capacity: The time it takes you to start being affected by the suffocation status effect is tripled.
'This would have been useful about a year ago.' Izuku thought to himself. He selected Chromatic and hummed to himself peacefully. Then he looked up to see the two other people in the tiny house, staring at him like he had two heads. Then he realized he never explained his quirk to them. He also realized he shouldn't. At least as little as possible.
"It's because of my quirk. It's a self evolving information type. The green wave was just from absorbing new information." He laughed nervously. "I also have another quirk, which I'll be using from now on." He got up and dusted himself off.
"Before you do that. Could you step outside? I don't want you using an active quirk inside." Haneyama kindly asked him.
"Oh! Of course!" Izuku quickly hurried his way outside. He picked up some of the rubble from the caving in roof. He stuck it in his mouth and swallowed seamlessly, and grew about five centimeters. His skin also turned purple, 'No too close to Ashido. Different colors.' He instead turned blue, and grew small white, oni like horns at the top of his head. His hair turned white along with the horns sprouting out, and his body looked more muscular. He then took out his phone and dialed the only number he had in it. Bakugo.
All while the two owners of that rooftop watched, waiting to see what he was doing. 'Welp here goes nothing.' Izuku thought as he turned on Intimidate.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ON A SATURDAY MORNING DEKU?!" The other two people on the roof can hear him through the phone. Hell they both were thinking that people on the street could hear it. Izuku responded in kind.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN BEFORE I SPLATTER YOU AGAINST YOUR BEDROOM WALL. THE BIG BANG IS BRIGHTER THAN WE THOUGHT ON THE SCREEN!" Then he instantly hung up.
Bakugo just looked at the phone, now silent. He knew this phrase. He just couldn't remember it. He was in the middle of a workout though. He finished up his crunches, wiped down his body, and put a shirt on. Having to wear as little clothes as possible was a huge downside for his quirk. No jogs around the neighborhood, no going to a public gym. He went downstairs, where his mom was enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee.
"Hey Hag! Do you ever remember De- Izuku saying something like 'The big bang is brighter than we thought on the screen.' or something" His mother looked at her cup for a bit.
"Didn't he say 'The screen dims the big bang' a lot when you accidently used your quirk when you were mad?" That's when the color drained from Katsuki's face. He ran to the door, slipping his shoes on and bursting through it. He ran all the way to U.A. Then he realized that no one would be there. So his next bet would be to go to a Pro Hero's office, more specifically one that worked for the school. He could only think of one.
Izuku then threw this phone off the roof, using Power Throw. It flew for a while before slamming into the ground at least four blocks away. Both Koichi and Haneyama looked at him with concern. "What? Oh! They know who I am normally, so they know how to track my phone."
"Okay then, Let me fill you in with what we know, and set up a meeting with our contact." Koichi brought him back inside, and they started to go over the quirks of the eight precepts. The top dogs of Shie's branch of the Yakuza. They went over base locations, and their major source of income. Trigger. A quirk boosting drug, that if tampered with just enough, can make people go crazy while under its effects. Izuku figured that trying to join as an adult, would be a terrible idea.
So he shrunk down to about the size of a middle schooler, and added a devil like tail. The tail itself wasn't strong. Hell his horns weren't that hard. But it would work.
Next was training. He first entered meditation. His first thought was to use Theorycraft for a voice adjusting skill. But first he needed to boost his Wisdom.
Wisdom: 46(+11)
Skill Crafting: Vocal Modification: Calculating… Success! Increasing difficulty for Theorycraft
New Skill Theory: Vocal Modification Lv Max: You can change your voice as you see fit.
Izuku instantly changed his voice to be younger, as well as a little more femenine. Anything to hide his identity. The rest of the day was spent in Meditation trying to level it. Next was meeting Koichi's hero contact. What Izuku didn't expect was to walk into the alley and be face to bandage with Eraserhead. 'You gotta be fucking kidding me.'
Eraser's first instinct was to let them talk for a second. He had a feeling it was too much of a coincidence that his student turned vigilante, and now his contact had a new one who needed a contact in the hero world. "Hi, I'm O-ni" As Izuku was talking, Eraser activated his quirk which, true to Shapechange, didn't affect his appearance. Although it did turn off Vocal Modification.
"Explain. Quickly." Eraser started to unwrap his binding scarf, and continued to look down at his student.
"I got a few new skills, a little girl in danger, had to save her, moved before I could think, now I need evidence she was in danger." Izuku spatter out at high speeds. Eraser let out a sigh, and crouched down.
"You already had contacts didn't you? You don't need me for information." Izuku nodded. "You wanted to be able to ask me for help." Izuku continued to nod. He was rather cute, as cute as a little demon boy could be. "Well I would like to help you, but I can't for obvious reasons. But if you can plan out an attack, I can get all the U.A. staff to help with the raid. Deal?" Izuku didn't realize why Eraser sounded like he was talking to a kid, which was because he looked like one, but he was filled with determination and agreed.
Author's Note: So I actually do out the math for things like Theorycraft, and as a tabletop rpg player, I feel fucking cheated. I mean he had a 10% chance to get the voice changer, roll a d100 and get a 9. What the hell man. Anyway. How is everyone? Anyone figure out any of the math behind his sheet? Got any Ideas? Credit to LesbianScientits for a shapeshifting idea, CrystalofThePhilosopher for the idea of vampires, and thank all of you for the reviews. Which I will be going over next!
ProjectIceman: Yeah that makes sense, since it's just an extension of him really.
Mystery889: Hey. It's here.
Shaedy Mo: Nezu fucking hates most humans. I 100% believe he would hate how society has formed since quirks, partially because that was the whole reason he was experimented on. Yeah it's a bit of a stretch, but it also is like reverse plot armor. Fuck the MC
One thing I forgot to mention, I made a discord, where you guys can all talk as well as ask me questions personally! /Etzjm4d Come and talk!
