Midoriya Izuku : Advocate of Justice.
"Everyone in the world is born equal", that could be said 200 years ago, when quirks were non-existent. Since the emergence of Quirks, men gradually drifted apart from being born as equals. They became more powerful, faster, smarter and thousands of other adjectives to differentiate them from the Quirkless. Since the rise of All Might, Quirks have been focused on being "Flashy" & "Strong". Quirks that have more nuanced applications are easily overlooked; the Quirkless are easily relegated to the faculties of society that are protected to the highest degrees & laws, but they are also the people who are forgotten and portrayed as victims who have no fight in them.
Now, in the age of the 5th Generation of Quirks, one boy had been unable to inherit any Quirks from his mother and father, this boy was bullied for years to come, until, god himself granted the boy a mercy and a blessing. For to live up to his own destiny, he became "The Gamer".
Midoriya Izuku was in the chemistry lab after hours at Aldera Middle School. The youth was staring at the translucent screen in front of him.
"How did my life come to this?"
Izuku thought to himself as the screen before him looked back at him unashamedly.

Izuku's head dropped into his crossed arms as he watched a beaker bubble with a simple chemical compound. The vertette had come to terms with his Quirkless status, he had given up on becoming a hero. It had been a lot of things that had lead to that decision, constant years of abuse from his peers, his own mother not believing in him. But, the main thing that had led Izuku to abandon his dream was realising that he was not motivated or even believed, deep down that the youth himself , could become a hero. The green haired boy never trained his body to some ungodly degree in the name of justice and dreams or even bothered to learn martial arts to aid himself. So, for all these screens to appear, telling him, he was this thing called "The Gamer", it was mind numbing. His life was normal until this morning. Izuku extracted his phone from his left trouser pocket and quickly sent a text to the contact named "Mum". The text simply said;
"Hey Mom, Just letting you know that I'll be home later, busy with an after school project for Chemistry."
Izuku raised his head back up to his Stat Page and sighed heavily.
"Well shit, may as well try find a tutorial." The boy muttered to himself before another screen appeared on top of his stat page.
"As you have prior knowledge of game mechanics used in The Gamer, would you like an in-depth tutorial of The Gamer's system and how to navigate the menus?"
Without hesitation Izuku hit the blue box that had the words "Yes" keyed into it. The world around him lost colour, lost life and purpose as it all grayed out. Leaving Izuku as the only white noise on a noir palette. The screens in front, ran the youth through the in's and out's of the system, as well as allowing different options for ability casting, Once that was over two new screens appeared in front of the boy.

Izuku had indeed been curious about what that had meant, but was more focused of getting rid of his Negative attributes. Namely, "Bullied", "Hero Otaku" and "Incessant Mumbler". Izuku's mind drifted to the other attributes that caught his attention.
"True Essence of Heroism my ass. I bet all heroes love giving up on their dreams."
Izuku thought bitterly before ridding himself of that , focusing back onto the screens before him. The green haired boy decided to get started on this "Will of the Weak" quest. He didn't feel like finding out what would happen if he didn't complete it. The boy made his way towards the Running track outside where the Track & Field club usually practice. Fortunately, they were understanding and allowed Izuku to use one of the spare running lanes. The boy launched himself into completing his quest vigorously, giving it his all and coming out looking like the incarnation of sweat. The youth used one of the showers, again with the permission of the Track & Field club, and headed on home.
Izuku was pondering on his decision at the moment, as he had completed the quest, he had been given a screen of rewards but could only pick one.
Rewards Available:
Status Recovery
+5 Status Points
Random Box
"Status Recovery seems pretty good, but at the moment, I really don't need that, nor do I need a Random box. I think, getting the Status Points will be better in the long run."
Izuku concluded his decision, thinking of selecting the option of Status points, the rewards screen disappeared and another one appeared.
"Congratulations, you have completed your Daily Quest and your First ever quest! Bonus XP will be awarded to mark this Achievement. Also, for making a well thought out decision in choosing your reward, your WIS stat gained an extra point! Spend your 5 Status Points wisely, Gamer."
Izuku deliberated his decision for a few steps before putting all his 5 bonus points into his strength stat. The green haired boy couldn't feel much of a difference afterwards.
"Well, that much is to be expected I guess, I only put in 5 points, not 50 or 100."
"For thinking logically you gained +1 WIS"
Izuku smiled lightly at the display in front of him. It was good to know he could raise his stats in such a simple way. This meant the youth could inject his other points into a stat like Luck or Charisma if he really needed to. Not long afterwards, Izuku arrived home, which was at ten to six in the evening. His mother as always greeted him warmly when he came back. Izuku made his way into his bedroom, quickly undressing himself and changing into a pair of loose black trackies and a gray t-shirt. Once changed he sat down at his desk and pulled out a fresh notebook. He gave it a simple title, like all his other notebooks.
Analysis : The Gamer
He wrote down everything that was known to him at the moment about his ability before storing in his inventory. Once Izuku was done documenting his new found power he was called down for dinner. After finishing dinner and washing his dishes, Izuku sat on the couch as the TV played the news for the day. But his attention was no on the news of heroes, I twas drawn to the antique that rested upon their artificial fireplace.
Inko came and sat on the couch beside her son. Almost immediately she noticed that her son's attention was not drawn to the news, the heroes, but rather on the ornament that was above their fireplace. The aged woman took note of the look of curiosity on her son's face, she wasn't surprised. Izuku had never taken notice of anything that wasn't a hero or hero related.
"At least, that was the case until 2 years ago…"
Inko would never voice it, but she was greatly relieved when Izuku had given up on being a hero. It meant he would never be put in life threatening danger. It was selfish of her, but Midoriya Inko couldn't bear to lose the only other person she loved.
"Hisashi, if only you were still here maybe then I would have had the strength to support Izu..."
The elder vertette cleared her mind from that morose path and decided to ask Izuku what he wanted to know about the ornament.
"Izu, what's the matter? you've been staring at the fire place for a while now?"
The younger Midoriya jolted before turning to face his mother. Izuku had used analyse on the ornament but was baffled by the name of it. His initial thought was, It's like something out of a game, but then he remembered, his life has been transformed into a game.
"Ah, well, it's uh what's that above the fireplace? I've never really payed much attention to it before?"
"Oh that old thing? I got it form my mother. I asked her what it was and she said it was a family heirloom, it's been passed down in my mother's family for centuries at this point."
The Midoriya Matriarch sighed as she remembered all that she was told about the ornament and the family name that accompanied it, she thought it was all a load of hogwash. Izuku expression showed how baffled he felt by the response given. It 3was Centuries old? It looked like it was made a few days ago!
"So this thing predates Quirks? That's pretty amazing, I mean, this thing looks brand new!"
"That it does Izu. I never understood myself why it has always looked that good. I know I clean it every month but it shouldn't look that good. Honestly, at this point I'd believe all that "Pendragon Magic" that my mother droned on about."
"Pendragon Magic? What's that?" Inko wasn't looking at her son, but she could tell from his tone of voice that he was in his super curious mode.
"Pendragon is the name of my mother's family, they came from England and have been protecting that relic for all these centuries, supposedly."
Inko rolled her eyes before standing and making her way to her bedroom. Before she disappeared from sight she called back to Izuku.
"Now young man, go wash yourself and do your homework!"
Inko's order was met wish a somewhat distracted "Yes Mum" she Thought nothing of it as she continued to her room. As Izuku made his way to the bathroom, he read the notification that appeared after talking to Inko.

"So does that mean my full name is Pendragon-Midoriya? Or Midoriya-Pendragon? What the hell does the Pendragon family have to do with such a weird ornament anyway?"
Izuku decided to stop thinking about it for now and do what his mother told him to do, bathe and homework.
