Hello and welcome to another experimental fanfic of Boku no Hero Academia, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, and this is probably an ambitious experiment that I'm going to try out on.

This came about after re-watching Mushoku Tensei the second time around, and while watching the episodes I suddenly got the image of Midoriya and Kendo flashing in my mind, and as I watched the final two episodes, the images of Midoriya and Kendo keep playing in my head, and there I decided to try it out and see if this would attract fans and readers alike, as this is an unfamiliar territory that I'm about to trespass…

While this fic is a fantasy-like setting, I'll briefly show Midoriya in his PREVIOUS LIFE before getting to the Isekai elements…and given that this fic is inspired from Rudeus and Eris, the pairing here would be Midoriya and Kendo. While this would be a T-rated story, I might shift to M-rated if the story reaches to the scene where the two would CONSUMATE their moment…

Well then, read on and enjoy!


Ch. 1: Hīrō no shi to yoki shinai saisei

Japan.

The country that is located within East Asia, quite near different Asian countries such as China, Taiwan, Korea, India, and the Philippines, is seen and that country is ruled by the Diet, and are handled by the Emperor and the Prime Minister. After Japan's surrender at the end of World War II, the country began to change for the better, and for several decades Japan vastly improved, mostly in the technological department yet their culture and values remained the same, as most Japanese citizens remained hospitable to visitors, residents and tourists alike.

The scene then shifts to Yokohama, which is the second largest city in Japan by population, and the most populous municipality of Japan. It is the capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture. It lies on Tokyo Bay, south of Tokyo, in the Kantō region of the main island of Honshu. It is a major commercial hub of the Greater Tokyo Area.

The current area surrounded by Maita Park, the Ōoka River and the Nakamura River had been a gulf divided by a sandbar from the open sea.

Before the emergence of Quirks and the superhero society, Yokohama was bustling with life being a commercial hub, thus it is known for selling things that are trending to people, ranging from food to clothes to luxury vehicles and even the latest gadgets.

The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality. You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.

"Hello...please by our items..."

"They are cheaper..."

"...they are in good working condition..."

"You can try them if you like..."

"I promise you will like them..."

"I promise you will get your money's worth..."

"Here are the items on our display..."

"Pick the one you like..."

Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:

- Nintendo Famicom

- Super Famicom

- Sega Mega Drive

- Game Boy Color

- Game Boy Advance

- Neo Geo

- Sony Playstation

- Sega Saturn

- Nintendo 64

In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles such as the Sony Playstation 4, the Microsoft X-Box One and the Nintendo Wii, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.

"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"

"Yes...they are cool..."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."

"Hmm..."

"Would you like to try them...?"

"..."

"I promise you will not regret it..."

Though when people with Quirks became prevalent, life and business went on smoothly as usual, but then Yakuza groups began to make their presence known, doing illegal business such as drug trafficking, and soon it disrupted the daily lives of the Yokohama residents, as gang wars erupted and this resulted in gang members engaging in firefights, which claimed innocent lives in the process.

Worsening the matter are Yakuza members began hiring applicants who possess Quirks and each rival gangs became more bold, as they challenged the police and are one step ahead of them, occasionally attacking various police precincts and killing and/or maiming police officers.

When the SYMBOL OF PEACE AND JUSTICE emerged in the form of pro hero All Might appeared, his actions steadily and gradually put a dent on the gangs in Yokohama, temporarily crippling the drug business and life at Yokohama slowly returned to normal.

-x-

However, peace within Japan would be shattered, as months that passed, the hero society faced its biggest crisis as the newly-formed Paranormal Liberation Front, led by Tomura Shigaraki, launched an all-out attack on UA Academy, in which by this time, Hawks was able to provide information on a number of pro heroes that are backing the PLF. There Endeavor led some of the active pro heroes to face the PLF, and the battle was quite explosive as the battle was very intense as it led from Yokohama to Tokyo.

The battle is indeed intense as traitorous pro heroes managed to take down and injure some true pro heroes, and this prompted Class 1-A and 1-B to join the fray, and there Midoriya, aided by Bakugo and Todoroki, managed to get close and confronted Shigaraki, where he used unexplained means to increase his Quirk's power and pose a threat to the three teen heroes.

With an unexpected help form Eri, All Might temporarily regain his Quirk and confronted Shigaraki and urged him to stop his foolishness and explained his familial background, and though swayed at first, Shigaraki brushes them aside and proclaimed that he will destroy hero society and bring about a new world order. All Might pleaded to him but was fallen on deaf ears.

"Tomura!"

"All Might!"

"Please stop this!"

"Never!"

"It's not too late!"

"I'll kill you! I'll kill everyone and everything!"

"Please don't do this!"

"Die!"

Shigaraki then unleashed what appeared to be a giant Nomu that possesses a Quirk that causes spontaneous human combustion, and began its attack, and to everyone's surprise, Shigaraki appeared to made a miscalculation as the giant Nomu appeared to be unable to distinguish between ally and foe, and uses its Quirk on everyone, as members of the PLF and the pro heroes were incinerated.

Within 30 minutes the Paranormal Liberation Front loses its important members and Shigaraki is left alone, and somehow he managed to regain control of the giant Nomu and ordered it to make a retreat. As All Might went after them, Midoriya, Bakugo and Todoroki followed, unwilling to let Al Might handle it by himself. Endeavor followed seeing that his son is also there.

Endeavor told his son not to go reckless and Shoto assured that he will not, as he said that he knows what he is doing and asked for his assistance, which the father and son came to an agreement on what to do, which Endeavor agreed, as he remembered that to become the new number one hero, he has to act like a cooperative player.

At the oil depot, All Might is using his Quirk to land strong blows that would force the giant Nomu to back away from the area, while Bakugo and Endeavor are forced to stay and watch due to their Quirks being too risky to use because it might cause a powerful explosion should the oil refinery tanks get ruptured and burst into flames, which Shoto agreeing that they cannot risk using fire-type and combustion-type Quirks as the resulting explosion would surely kill Midoriya and Shigaraki on the spot.

As the Nomu persisted in going to where Shigaraki is, Shoto uses his ice Quirk to cover the giant Nomu's eyes and somewhat blinded it, and there All Might and Endeavor uses their strengths to land several blows on the Nomu to compel it to leave the oil depot, and there Endeavor tells Shoto to go help Midoriya, and cautions him from using his fire Quirk, which Shoto nodded.

"Todoroki-shonen!"

"Sir?"

"Go and help Midoriya-shonen!"

"I see."

"Make sure not to use your fire Quirk!"

"I understand!"

"Go now!"

"I'm on it!"

The scene shifts at the center of the oil depot, where Midoriya and Shigaraki are fighting, and there the 16-year old boy is dodging Shigaraki's hands to avoid the touching Quirk that causes anything he touched to dissolve into dust. As Shigaraki gloated that his plans will succeed and that killing Midoriya will cause All Might to despair, Midoriya's unwavering resolve kicks in and performed the Delaware Smash in full power and struck Shigaraki's face.

The blow caused Shigaraki's "hand mask" to detach from his face while absorbing the blow, and the result is that he suffered a fractured jaw and dislocated the bones on his face, causing him pain while knocked down. Midoriya then stood before the fallen Shigaraki and told him to stop this foolishness and give up, while making it clear that he will defend the people and everyone's smiles.

Shigaraki can only glare in silence due to his now-fractured jaws.

"I won't let you win!"

"…"

"You will not cause sorrow and despair to everyone!"

"…"

"You should surrender and change your ways!"

"…"

"I'll see to it that society will be peaceful as always!"

"…"

As Shoto is approaching the battlefield, he stopped when he saw the giant Nomu approaching, and this forced him to use his ice Quirk at full power and encased the giant Nomu in a giant block of ice, and there All Might and Endeavor carried the frozen Nomu and prepared to carry it away from the oil depot, with Shoto offering to assist them.

All Might then told Shoto and Bakugo to go assist Midoriya and apprehend Shigaraki so that the villain can be restrained and safely taken to prison, which the two teens nodded, but then All Might and Endeavor noticed that the Nomu is glowing, and Bakugo grinned thinking that the Nomu is trying to come up with a secret attack and he is ready to face it.

However, All Might grabbed Bakugo and Shoto and told Endeavor to fall back, saying that the Nomu is doing a kamikaze move, and he sensed that the Nomu's action is similar to the atomic bomb used by the Allied forces during World War II, and Endeavor is alarmed by this, in which they saw the Nomu beginning to glow further and can feel its heat intensity increasing.

"All Might! What's going on?"

"That Nomu is about to blow himself up!"

"What?"

"Hurry! If he explodes, the whole oil depot and plant will explode as well!"

"This can't be!"

"No time to ponder! Come on!"

"…"

"…"

By then the Nomu shone brighter and went towards the scene where Shigaraki and Midoriya are fighting, which Midoriya noticed what is happening, and to his shock he realized that he couldn't get the time to evacuate the oil depot as the Nomu roared before exploding, and the explosion resulted in the oil depot and refinery catching fire and this caused a chain reaction as the whole depot exploded in a mushroom of fire and smoke, engulfing everything in its path.

As Tomura laughed maniacally, Midoriya attempted to fly off as fast as possible, but the explosion and flames of the explosion caught up with him, and he realized that he couldn't escape and mentally bid his mom, All Might, his classmates at UA Academy and all the people he met goodbye as his whole body was engulfed in the flames of the ensuing explosion, as he could feel his body beginning to burn away as the scene starts to BLACK OUT.

-x-

The scene LITS UP, which Midoriya seemingly regain consciousness, and in a FIRST PERSON VIEW, Midoriya wondered where he is, as he somewhat, if vaguely, recalled about the oil depot where he fought Shigaraki and the Nomu that exploded, and as he attempted to speak, he blinked his eyes as the voice that came out from his lips are the sound of an infant.

Then he saw Inko, but to his bewilderment, Inko is dressed like a commoner that can be seen in anime shows that feature Isekai elements, and upon glancing at a mirror, Midoriya stared wide-eyed as he sees himself as a two-month old infant who is about to be breastfeed, and he could only mentally asked what just happened here.

"What…? How come I'm a baby? What's going on here?"

There Inko told her son that things will be okay as she is glad that he is healthy enough not to get an illness and said that even though life is hard, what matters most is that both of them are doing well even though they are not financially well-off.

By then Hisashi came and greeted Inko, and both of them began cuddling Izuku, who for some reason, seemingly have been REBORN to a different world and a different era, though he seemingly have the same parents from his previous life.

"Hey there, Izuku…"

"Izuku…your father's here…"

"We are one happy family…"

"We may not be financially well-off…but at least we are thriving everyday…"

"So don't try to be so picky, okay?"

"Grow up to be a good son, Izuku."

"We love you, son."

"We always do."

To Be Continued...


Hope you liked this chapter, though I sort of borrowed some elements from the Paranormal Liberation War manga arc but deviate a bit by having All Might temporarily regaining his Quirk…and that Midoriya was killed in the oil depot explosion, while at the same time I borrowed elements from Mushoku Tensei where Midoriya is REBORN in a world similar to the said series.

Now you're wondering how Midoriya would thrive given that the world he is reborn into is fantasy-inspired and all, but I am working on it and how I'm going to blend the elements of My Hero Academia and Mushoku Tensei into this story.


Preview:

As Midoriya spends his early childhood, he will have to adjust to the fact that he is now living in a different world and that his old life is no more…

See you in eight weeks…
