Sorry that this chapter is shorter than the last but do keep in mind that I goal in a chapter is that I always white it up to 2000 to 4000. It's only on rare occasions that I go above that.
Anyway welcome back to my second chapter for my story and let me just say that I'm proud that I already got quite a few favs and followers. Now let's just hope I don't stop this like the others. On that note I would like to say this. I'll be rewriting some of my old stories, starting with Strawhats stumbles into Gensokyo. (Now known as Training in Gensokyo.) And once I'm up to date with that I will rewrite another old story. For anyone that wants an old story back with a new approved state then I want you to PM me so that you don't flood my Review box that has nothing to do ith this story.
OK sorry for the ramble so I'll let you all go for now. Enjoy.
PS. Thank you Impstar for the advice, always appreciated.
Disclaimer: No Game No Life is made by Yū Kamiya and My Hero Academia was created by Kōhei Horikoshi.
Her designation used to be Üc207Pr4f57t9, but ever since she lives in this new life she has discarded that name and now goes by the name Shuvi.
She was once apart of the Cluster. A collective that all Ex-machina was apart off. Created by a God to serve him and fight his war with the other gods and their creations.
She remembers fighting many battles and was sent on many scouting missions with her unit.
It has always been like that. Scout, battle, damaged, repair and do it all over again. This cycle was all she ever knew. Well that was the case until a day she laid eyes on him.
One day she and her unit was given a mission. They had to engage in a large-scale conflict with Aranleif and his seven followers. As the battle came to a close, Aranleif used Far Cry, to annihilate the Ex-Machina. The Ex-Machina unit had no choice but to use the armament Umweg to deflect the attack to prevent further losses.
The mission was a success with all the Dragonia, included the leader Aranleif defeated. But as they were heading back the girl found something that has escaped their radar. It was a village that belonged to the nameless race and it seems to have been destroyed from the aftermath of their attack.
The lone Ex-machina flew down to analyse the damage and found a lone human child. The boy was the last survivor and the girl was about to leave since the kid was deemed not a threat. But she stopped when the kid stared at her.
It wasn't fear and the kid doesn't have the eyes of hopelessness. It was something fierce like he was trying to express that he will pay them back for this and ran off.
The Ex-machina still think that this was not a threat since a lone human can't hope to go against the other races. But that does ask the question. Why does humans look like that when it was all pointless?
Whenever she doesn't have a mission the lone Ex-machina goes off to observe the humans. She watches them build a civilisation and protects themselves from the war. Even when they are weak they still go off and learn as much as they can despite it being useless to them.
Why? Why do they go so far when it is pointless to even try? The android just had to know. After a while she figured it out.
The heart.
Their determination, their strength along with their weaknesses. Came from the heart. But what she just couldn't make sure of was why the heart feels the way it is.
This has created many errors as the Ex-Machina's heart grew confused.
The cluster has deemed the Ex-Machina as broken and took her out of the collective. Only when she could fix these errors will be when she will be allowed back in.
The lone Ex-Machina took off and decided to learn more about the heart and gone to see the human kid. The kid, now grown into an adult who was called Riku. He gave her the name Shuvi yet didn't seem to trust the android and she could see why.
She analyse the human and found out so many emotions. Angry when he said how she killed his people, sad on how he ordered those people to die and joy when he founds himself winning for once. And Shuvi absorbed all of it.
Riku and Shuvi grew closure as they soon fell in love together. The two got married and now have a human, Corone as a sister-in-law.
Riku and Shuvi started their plan and it was going smoothly. Until Riku became reckless and was breaking apart from the Black Ash. So she decided to carry on the plan without him so to make him not hurt himself anymore.
The last thing she remembers was getting cornered by the Flügel and gotten destroyed when said Flügel sent down her own heavens strike at full power. Completely destroying her, leaving behind a single ring.
After that was only darkness as she found herself trapped in this dark, cramped space. Time goes by as her senses was coming back and the next thing she knew, she was being held by a woman that looked kind of like her. One with messy purple hair with orange eyes. Her name is Mako Rei, her mother.
It didn't take long for her to figure out the fact that this was her mother. She saw what was suppose to be her father but they were far in between as she only met him a few days after her birth. Those times grew further apart until one day she never saw the man again.
It wasn't until she was three years old that her mother admitted that her own father have left them. She said how the man would come home with a weird smell coming off of him. It only took Shuvi a moment to realise that it was a woman's scent that was coming off of him. He was two timing. Mako said that we were the ones that had to move out and got a small apartment to live in. She never saw the man again after that.
Her mother works as a mangaka, a person that draws manga. Her mother usually stays in her bedroom drawing out her manga and publish them, her main genre is sci-fi though she has dubbed a bit on horror but that was just her hobby. Her quirk was ink creation and that her manga is quite successful so we never have to worry about money. Shuvi's mother used to cook dinner for them but Shuvi had learned quickly on how to cook and had ended cooking for them while her mothers schedule grew tighter as she gotten more popular.
Like most kids her age at the age of four, Shuvi have finally gotten her very own quirk. She found out when she squirted out ink like her mother's. At first they thought her quirk is the same but after a while they found out it was something different when Shuvi's breath out icy breath after seeing one of her classmates use that kind of quirk. It wasn't ink creation but a copying quirk.
Her mother was proud but Shuvi only felt a bit happy. The reason being is that this quirk is a more limited version of her Aus: Jawohl. Because unlike before when she still has her robotic body, her more fleshed out body cant handle some of the more stronger quirks. It is impossible for her to reach the same kind of power she once had.
At this point the classmates started to see how much of a genius she is. She answered so many questions correctly that the teachers had to ask Shuvi to slow down for the others to actually learn. That made the students call her names like 'know it all' or 'teachers pet.' But Shuvi was never concerned about her reputation. She never cared about her image since she never sees the point of it. She never cared an about what other kids like and that just made them isolate her.
The school told her mother this as they were a bit concerned about me, but mother didn't seem to care. It's not that she doesn't like me it's just that she doesn't even see what was wrong in the first place. To her Shuvi was just above the norm. "Your fine the way you are Shuvi. Why fix anything that isn't broken?" Is what she said to Shuvi and they left it at that.
Since Shuvi doesn't have any friends from how unnerving she can be at school, she mostly stays in her bedroom or in the kitchen to cook. She spends time either doing her homework for school or was tinkering something. Her mother was shocked when Shuvi appeared one day with a huge headpiece on the left side of her head. It was the same one she had in her last life. Only it was just an accessory, no enchantment was put on. She does this sometimes and built other parts she used to have. Like the two twin tails that used to be her main energy source but now it just ties around her hair to make ponytails.
She cooks, she builds stuff, and she even once knitted a hoodie which is also the same one Riku gave her.
She never did stop thinking about Riku. He was the only one she ever loved. She hoped her sacrifice wasn't in vain and hopes for Riku to have a happy life without war. That is the only way she could forgive herself for leaving him behind.
Four more years have gone by and Shuvi has pretty much got used to this new life. She learns more and more about what this world have to offer and that includes the superpowers of this world. Namely the heroes and villains. To her they were just like the ones that fought at the Great War. Only difference is that the heroes actually knows what their doing is for the greater good and the villains wanted to damage the status quo. Some heroes do it for the popularity and money though some does it for the greater good. One of them is the strongest one of all, All Might, the symbol of peace. His power alone is in between Tier 8-A | High 7-C. Just his punch alone could break open the clouds.
She may be human now but her brain is still like an ex-machina and so could analyse the person's strength just from looking at his normal punches which could theoretically destroy multiple buildings just from force alone.
Shuvi's heart actually skip a beat when he first debuted as a hero, a man who have saved multiple people in just ten minutes with a giant grin on his face.
"It's alright now, why? Because I am here!"
Shuvi had begun to wonder. How could a human like him smile in such a dangerous situation? The answer was simpler then she thought. It's because he cares, he cares and protects the people around him.
And so she began to look more into heroes as they are much more interesting then the races in her first life. It didn't matter if these heroes are weaker then the 16 races and that some of them has non heroic goals. They are at least much more bearable then the races that just want to take each others heads off.
So when she heard that there was a fire and the hero couple, Water Hose was on a scene. This was the first time that a hero appeared near by so she went out to analyse the heroes in action up close.
That was when she saw him.
"Riku?"
-ZERO-
"And that's when I saw you Riku." Shuvi said with a smile as Riku nervously looks around. After the incident was over Riku asked on how Shuvi was doing in this new life. Shuvi then begun to tell him her life story though Riku wanted this to be more private. And so Shuvi immediately took him to her apartment without letting him think.
Now Riku is in the lounge in a girl's house. He normally doesn't think this kind of thing but before he didn't have time to think about such things when there was a war going around. But he is a boy damnit! A boy alone with a girl he loved and even married, alone in the same room.
Shuvi notices his expression and tilts her head. "Is something the matter Riku?" The boy shakes his head to get these thoughts out and changes the subject.
"Where's your mother by chance?" Riku said while sweating nervously. He tricked gods into killing themselves so why is being alone with a girl so damn hard!?
Shuvi couldn't figure out why he is sweating so she pointed to a door to her right as it has a 'DON'T OPEN!' on it.
"Over there." She simply said.
"So close." Riku mumbled as Shuvi stares at him. Riku gulps some air while feeling his face turning red.
Shuvi then crouched and crawls around the table and Riku found their faces so close together.
"Too close!" Riku said a bit more loudly as Shuvi touched their foreheads together. Riku calmed a bit only to feel a bit confused at what Shuvi is doing.
"I thought you are not well from what happened earlier, but it appears that's not the case. This needs correcting." Shuvi deduced as Riku wondered where she's getting at.
"Okay then, then what are you...?" Shuvi interrupted him with a smile.
"You're embarrassed because you're a virgin." Riku then blushed extra hard.
"Yea that's right I'm still a virgin despite now having a second life. I'm still a kid so I'm not old enough to even date girls yet!" Riku shouted as he feels like he is being teased more then usual and by Shuvi of all people.
"But we are in love with each other so doesn't that mean we are dating?" Shuvi asked curiously. They even gotten married so does that change the fact that they are dating?
"Huh?" That's right they are pretty much dating at this point right? And since she is now a human that means that when they get older he would no longer be a vir...
"What keeps making all the ruckus out here!? I got a pen and I know how to use it!" The mother finally had enough with all the shouting and burst through the door with her messy hair covering her eyes and a pen reaching out menacingly. Riku jumps back in shock.
"Ah it's an actual ghost!" Riku said without thinking which earned him a punch in the head.
"Who are you calling a ghost you stupid brat!" Mako shouted in fury only to notice that there is in fact a brat with her daughter who was just silently watching. "Wait, who are you?"
-ZERO-
"Oh so there was a villain attack nearby?" Mako said nonchalantly as the two kids watch her back to drawing her manga. She does this so much now that she could talk to people without loosing concentration. She has everything she needed. The only thing is that the floor is covered with scrap paper so it's hard for Riku to walk around. Shuvi manages just fine after living with her mother for so many years.
"Yes mother." Shuvi said in a same tone of voice.
"And that you got attacked by said villain but managed to get away thanks to your quirk and this boy's reckless action?" She asked as she draws the last bit of the background with Shuvi nodding
"Hm."
Mako sighs as she finishes with one of the panels. She glances at Riku before starting the next panel. "You idiot."
"W-what?" Riku sounded out as he is a bit surprised by her bluntness. Mako finish continues.
"But you did save my daughter. So I guess a thank you is in order." She said with a smile while still drawing. Riku blinks as he was not expecting this.
'Is she a tsundere?' Riku thought as he remembers all the anime that his own mother watches with him. His thoughts were gone when a manga book was forcefully put in his hands. 'Through the stars?' Riku read the title as he looks back to Mako who has a grin on her face.
"Read it and tell me what you think. Really appreciated for you to offer." She mischievously said with Riku gasping in shock.
"You cheapskate!" He shouted feeling betrayed as Mako just laughs. Shuvi herself smiles as she watch her lover and her mother interact. It reminds her of the times Riku backchats at Corone.
-ZERO-
Corone sighs tirelessly as she finally gets to rest after a very long meeting. It has been ten years since the war ended and already everything is changing in a big way.
Now that all the races have settled down they are now looking to take more territory from each other.
These meeting was with people that used to be part of Ghost and they already made counter methods that could keep the races away from them since they are still considered the weakest race.
She sighs again as she went to her bedroom. Thanks to Tet who had rebuild the world from the ground up has already build all the necessary living arrangement, that includes this castle who is built for the new royals.
There was a debate about who is going to be leader but everyone had already declared Corone as their queen. Corone was shocked by the unanimous vote but they showed her the writing that she is their leader. The very same writing that Riku had tricked her in saying.
'Riku.' She thought sadly as she looks out the window and into the world now named Disboard. The world that Riku would most definitely be impressed by.
"No war, no fighting, everything is how it's supposed to be. You two would've loved to see this right?" Corone took out her blue rock from a chest piece and look at their names engraved into it.
"Riku, Shuvi." Corone feels tears falling down her cheeks. "I hope that you two are happy, wherever you are."
-ZERO-
*Achoo* Riku and Shuvi sneezes while they were walking. After his encounter with Shuvi's new mum, Riku found her a bit... eccentric. Now Riku was now heading home after getting milk from the shops.
"Man sneezes again? I hope I'm not coming up with something." Riku said quietly to himself but Shuvi heard him and touches his forehead. She nods to him smiling.
"It's okay Riku, your heat temperature is all good." Shuvi said as Riku scratches his head in silence.
The two got to Riku's house as the sun is about to go down.
"Man my mum must be worried so much right now. After everything I forgot to call them that I was alright." Riku sighs as he can just imagine his mother just hugging him and never let go. Riku looks at Shuvi and smiles. "Well, I better head in now. I'll see you..."
Shuvi immediately goes to Riku and hugs him tightly and kiss him right on the lips.
Before when they done this was when Shuvi was an ex-machina. Her lips just felt cold with a hint of metal to it. But now her lips feels so much more.
Riku was surprised but after a moment he leaned in closure as the two hug each other. The two lips let go after a minute as the two heads touch each other.
"I love you Shuvi." Riku said as he felt Shuvi nodding.
"Love you too, Riku." Shuvi said back as the two now have to let go.
"Bye Shuvi." Riku said as he was about to open the gate.
"Riku."
The boy looks back at Shuvi as she now looks a bit saddened.
"Yes Shuvi? Is something the matter?" Riku took a step towards Shuvi as she looks up.
"How do you feel about this new world? Is it better then before?" Riku widens his eyes as he didn't expect this question.
'How do I feel?' Really Riku never thought about it, this was finally a chance to live a more normal life. But...
"I never liked the war. It has killed lots of my people over the centuries." Shuvi looked down at her feet as she remembers how she was one of them who killed humans without knowing it. Humans were so fragile that they couldn't survive even the weakest of attacks. Directly or indirectly.
"But..." Shuvi looks back up to see nostalgia on Riku's face. "It was also the world that I get to meet you."
Shuvi's face actually went red as she felt embarrassed over his words.
Riku smiles as he thinks that Shuvi is now more of a human inside and out.
"It's because you are my hero Riku."
'Could I really become a hero despite having no quirk?' He thought for a bit but stops himself. 'No I can become a hero, if it's with Shuvi then I have no doubt that we can make it happen.' He was then filled with confidence as he turns around and said.
"Shuvi, despite being quirkless, despite being an ordinary human I will be by your side! If you want to be a hero then I will be fighting alongside you. With your strength and my planning then we can make it happen! We can become heroes together! We will be the ghosts like we were together! As long as we stay true to the rules we established then we can get through anything!" Riku said with a proud face as he is ready for anything to come his way.
Shuvi looked even more embarrassed but was also confident that Riku will keep his word, he always have.
Riku had nothing more to say and heads through the gate. Shuvi felt a smile across her face and runs to the gate and say.
"It's good to finally love you again, Riku." Riku looks back but sees nothing as Shuvi was already heading back. Riku smiles brightly as he heads to the door.
"It's good to love you too Shuvi."
