„Katon Todoroki?"

The man in his mid twenties looked around, it was a empthy white space he found himself in.

„Y-yes" he answered to the create that had a humanoid shape but was seemingly composed out of black goo.

„I have a proposel."

…

…

…

„Are you serious?"

After listening to the story of the being in front of him he couldnt believe what was told to him.

This creature came from the future, a future of almost 50 years.

A person named Touya Todoroki, appareantly his grandson, would become a villain and murder a lot of people. The thing that happened to him was a combination of misfortune and having a father who himself never got to know his father, making him a selfish prude jerk of a person, resulting in a lot of deaths.

This being was a manifestation of one of this victims power, it attached itself like a curse to the person who killed him, and absorbed parts of each of the victims souls, according to his words, he doesnt know how many people he is made out of, but he knows of 47 powers, but they only had been of powerful quirks, weaker ones vanished with the induvidual thoughts of the victims.

The goal of this being was simple, he was created to get revenge, but that wasnt possible because after getting strong enough, the murderer killed himself.

Left without a mission the being thought for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that the best way to fulfill his masters wish was to never allow his masters death.

In order to reach that goal, the being used what he had gained, and by combining a quirk he called Rewind with a few other enhancement quirks and a power that granted the ability to focus things, he was able to travel into the past.

And that is where he travelled from victim to victim to meet me. The supposed grandfather of this unborn villain.

According to his words, i just died though...or at least im close to it, my child Enji is already born and nearly a year old, so it seems that because of a villains attack the office i was working in collapsed and buried me under the rubble, killing me.

That is why my child became obsessed with being the best hero, which causes him to become a horrible father.

This all sounds to stupid i might just believe it. I somewhat feel like i can trust this black goo.

So after he carefully thought, he decided he would safe me, but as a ghost-like being he couldnt really touch the rouble, a telekinesis like power wasnt in his body.

After some time he gave me a option, dying here, or taking a risk of having him boost my quirk center, this could result in me getting a far stronger quirk but i might lose my sense of self and become a mindless beast.

„I take the chance."

I cant leave my wife, not now, not with her sick body.

„Choose!"

And just as he said, a bar appeared that stood at 0 or 100, and than a couple of flame-related powers appeared, each with different functions and descriptions.

As i understood it, i have to choose what kind of direction my power has to go, otherwise he would randomly boost my quirk center and i would become a mindless beast immediately.

The options he has are vast.

Sadly a counter above me also tells me how long i have to live, a couple minutes are left after his long explanation.

Each function i choose also fills up the bar in front of me, that is the maximum i can boost my quirk with reduced risk of becoming a monster, as he said it „the hardware cant save software of to high quality". Somehow i think thats a insult but im not sure.

After some time i finished my selection.

A total of three functions for my quirk. My flame was going to become a golden flame that heals people. The flame i created can be shaped into a palm-sized hexagonal shape in order to create barriers. I can concentrate the flames on my body and create a sort of tattoo like shape all over my body which boosts my body by a tremendous amount.

Im not all happy about this, but considering my own quirk allowed me to create a flamebarrier that had the size and durability of a single paper, i would say its a lot better than before.

UGH!

„It begins, once you wake up, release all you have."

I did as i was told, my body screamed in pain, i shouted and felt my whole body burning, it was a terrible pain, there was nothing but a shining golden color in front of my eyes, and so i pushed against whatever was in front of me, using my power Scale Shield and Flamy Tattoo, i named the two just now, the stones shot upwards, forcing its way upwards.

Suddenly the place i was in started to collapse, so i released a lot of the shields and pushed against the walls.

„Help!" a scream came from behind a big boulder.

I pushed with all i had and the boulder shot into the opposite direction, before i could even realise my own strength i saw all the people in my workplace, they were injured and some even critically, but none of them had died.

„Dont hurt us" one of my female coworkers shouted.

As i looked at all of them, Goo talked to me.

„From what i know, its better to keep your identity hidden, it protects people close to you."

I touched my face and felt a lot of Scale Shields, but incredibly small. Goo must have put them there, he did so over my body as well now that i look at it.

As the people trembled in fear i went to my male coworker, he was holding his third arm that came from the middle of his chest, a bone was looking out of it.

At first i tought it was going to be hard, but the moment i wanted, golden flames erupted out of my hands.

„NOO!" the people ran backwards, but none ran out of their room, they probably thought the building would collapse on them.

After screaming himself, third-arm, as he called himself on the vigilante roleplay fantasy he did in his private time, realised that his arm was healing, the bone was already inside and his wound closed itself.

„Y-you arent the villain who attacked us?" he asked, still fearfully.

Once i answered with shaking of my head the people erupted into a cheer.

Some fell down crying, and so i went to badly injured ones and started healing them, than put them on several Scale Shields in order to move them upwards out of the rubble.

„W-wait, where is Katon-san?"

Once my name was mentioned the other started asking me that there was someone else, he must have been in the rubble and if i could look for him, once i sat the others down outside the building i used my Scale Shields to move into the air.

I never actually imagined this power to be used like this, it just came as a idea, im able to fly by using it as a plattform to stand on.

As i moved to a place nobody could see me i released the Flamy Ink and the Scale Shields, the building collapsed immediately and the same happened to me. Just as i looked around, a woman came down from the sky, i saw her on the news a few times, she was a floating vigilante with superstrength.

„H-hey are you ok?"

As she asked, i collapsed on the ground.

„Dont worry" Goo said „the enhancement was a success, i will have to go dormant for a while now, your main objective is to raise your kid properly, dont forget that."
