After getting myself reasonably presentable and prepared to take on the day I went downstairs to have breakfast with my family.
A thought before you meet my family.
They're the best.
My Dad's an engineer, and my Mom's a teacher. They have minor quirks not powerful or catchy enough for a hero and yet they make it work.
My dad's is "Puff" which allows him to control small amounts of smoke, he often uses it to make the smoke from his cigarette become dragons, knights, and horses; great party trick, but not so much against fighting villains.
My mom's is "Gardener" just her presence ensures every plant within 10 kilometers is as healthy as can be.
"Hey Kuro." my dad called "I thought you'd be sleeping until atleast noon?"
"That was the plan dad, but the sun shone through my eyes and I can't go back to sleep however hard I try." I answered complaining.
I heard my mom's laugh and saw her approaching the table with a bowl full of greens.
"Mom, do we really have to survive on rabbit food today?" I asked, as my dad snorted.
"Young man you and your father have eaten over safe threshold on unhealthy food yesterday. While I don't mind you eating meat, today this calciferous vegetables will better help purge the unhealthy waste of those food."
The rest of our meal passed quickly with my mom and dad bantering.
After I finished eating I decided to show them something.
"Hey mom, dad? There's something you two should know." I told them nervously.
"Son." My dad interrupted. "Just so you know your mother and I would love you no matter what." He said with understanding eyes, I looked at my mom and she looked like she was about to cry.
"What?" I was confused. Did something happened?
"You're going to tell us that you like boys, right?" Oh hell no! My jaw dropped. "It's okay Kuro, we know you spend an awful lot of time with your friend Izuku." My mom answered with my dad nodding along.
"No!" I yelled mortified. "I'm not gay!"
Suddenly their eyes widened like dinner plates, did they seriously thought I was?!
"I'm not gay! How could you even think that? Remember when mom caught me looking up pictures of Uwabami online?! Or when my jaw dropped when I saw Midnight?!"
"Kuro-" My dad tried to interrupt but I was on a roll.
"Izuku is my best friend dad!"
"But Kuro-" This time it was my mom.
"Seriously mom! I'm not!" I yelled again, completely horrified. If my parents thought I was, then would that have mean other people did?! I'm never going to find a girlfriend now!
"You're floating!" My mom and dad yelled at the same time.
I looked downwards and saw that I had floated from my chair. Oops.
"Oh. Uh right! That's what I was going to tell you two. My quirk finally awakened."
"But I thought quirks should have awakened by the time you were 4 years old." My dad said putting his chin in his hand while thinking.
"Maybe I just never learned to use it until now?" I scratched my head in thought. "Even now I haven't fully learned to control it."
"Well whatever it is congratulations sweetheart!" My mom shed a few tears of happiness. "Now come down here so I can hug you!"
It was a perfect morning.
After that dad took me to get my Quirk registration handled. I told dad that I have a feeling flying isn't the only thing I can do with it, but since it's the only thing I can do right now they had me put it down as 'Flight' and was told to upgrade it at a later date.
After which I convinced dad to let me stay at the park for a while saying that I wanted some peace within the tree line.
I quickly walked towards the park close to Izuku's home. I wanted to barge in and give him a quirk as soon as possible but he and his mom is currently on vacation and there would be no one there. As I approached the tree under which I always sit and read a blue textbox appeared again.
You have found a natural dungeon!
Park Dungeon
Recommended Level: 5
Would you like to enter?
Y/N
Hmm, why not. I got time to kill.
Light exploded once again forcing me to close my eyes, when I opened them I saw myself standing in the park. Only this time everything around me was rotten and broken down. It's like a post-apocalyptic scenario.
Hmm I wonder what kind of enemies I'll face here.
"Brains!" I looked towards the moan and saw them.
Seven zombies all slowly shuffling towards me, with excited glint in their dull dead eyes. They make my skin crawl.
'Observe'
Quirkless Zombie
Level 3
HP: 700
MP: 0
This dead body of a quirkless human has been resurrected by a novice villain with a necromancy quirk. Help put them to rest.
Weak against fire, light, and blunt weapons.
Resistant against ice, and stabbing weapons.
Beat to gain 100 exp
I guess my Observe now let's me sees resistances. I can work with that.
I looked around and found a short pipe, probably a broken piece of the monkey bars. I swung it around to get a feel with its balance and weight, once prepared I leapt of and flew low. Doing my best not to lose control of my speed. My first swing knocked the lead zombie on its ass, I spun in the air and hit it on the back of the head making it face plant. I then grabbed it by the neck and flew it about a hundred feet in the air before throwing it back down.
The zombie impacted the gound hard, bits of bone, and rotting muscle flying everywhere. Finally it exploded into motes of light after a second.
Acquired Loot:
1 Zombie tooth
2 Zombie bone
Gross. I guess there would be a crafting section on the game if I'm getting crafting materials. But I digress, I still have seven more undead idiots to kill. I quickly flew downward and scooped up some rocks before flying faster and faster to build up momentum. Time to see if I can pull this off. I bank hard towards the back of the group the G-Force making it hard on my body. Right before I collided with the ground I pulled up at an angle with all the momentum and threw a rock at the head of another zombie.
You have created a new skill!
Aerial Bomber – Active (Lvl 1)
Throw something at an opponent as you rise from a dive. Massive damage, huge G-Force, total adrenaline ride.
Cost – 25 QP
I ignored it for now as I focused on my plan, the force was really getting to me now and I have only done it once. I swerved right and bank making a high speed U-turn before doing another. It's hard to keep my eyes open the wind and the speed is making my accuracy low so I would need to get close again.
I swooped down and prepared two rocks before throwing them as I rose. Two of them immediately burst into light. At that point I had to stop and rest in mid-air. I could feel my bone almost breaking and I was in pain. I got the message, I haven't adjusted fully to my quirk yet
For enduring extreme G-Force as much as you did and successfully making three difficult shots take +5 to vitality and +1 to dexterity
Acquired Loot:
2 Zombie tooth
3 Zombie bone
"Well, there's only three of them left." I told myself before speeding into a dive again.
Acquired Loot:
1 Zombie tooth
6 Zombie bone
Not bad. Plus I just need a hundred exp for my next level.
I started walking deeper into the park, I had a feeling that the stronger enemies are there.
I was right.
I saw a huge muscled zombie walking alone and observed it.
Quirk Zombie
Level 5
HP: 1500
MP: 0
This dead body of a human with quirk was resurrected by a novice villain with a Necromancy Quirk. Help him find peace.
Quirk: Super Strength
Weak against bladed weapons, psychic abilities, fire and light.
Resistant against ice, blunt weapons, stabbing weapons, physical attack.
Beat to gain 500 exp
This is a problem. I quickly took to the skies while grabbing a vine from one of the trees close to me. I thought I would be safe here.
I was wrong.
The Quirk Zombie punched the ground, pulled out a boulder and threw it at me. A loud boom exploded behind me as I hit Mach 1 just dodging the thing.
I placed the vine in my inventory, I had originally planned to tie one of my ninja stars on the steel pipe and use it as a bladed weapons but I would need something bigger for this.
I quickly flew towards town where I know was a museum for archaic weaponry is stored.
I burst in through the window. And used my observe on every sword, axe, and spear, I can see.
A skill has levelled up!
Observe – Active (Lvl 3)
Eventually I found three weapons still useable.
Yamaguchi
A katana owned by a disgraced ronin from the past.
Rank: Rare
Durability: 38/500
Damage: +40
Save The Queen
A heavy double-handed broadsword from medieval Europe
Rank: Rare
Durability: 50/380
Damage: +70
Peircer
A heavy lance designed to break through steel plated armor.
Rank: Uncommon
Durability: 4/20
Damage: +29
Old and almost broken but still useable. I quickly flew back towards the park and found the muscled zombie throwing things trying to smoke me out. I flew towards his back once again reaching my speed limit. Taking out Piercer and a small torch lighter that I took while in town, I aimed carefully.
I once again performed an Aerial Bomber and Piercer nailed him right on the neck, the bottle I attached on the spear's shaft with the vine shattered along with Piercer itself dowsing him with gasoline
Critical Hit!
Enemy HP: 639/1500
Finally I tossed the torch at him and he went up in flames. No matter they were weak to fire. He literally turned to ash only 20 seconds in.
You have levelled up!

I placed all my points in Luck.
Due to thinking outside the box, exploiting your enemy's weakness, and using strategy to defeat n opponent stronger than you without taking damage. Take this whopping +5 points to Intelligence and Wisdom.
"Alright!" I celebrated.
Acquired Loot:
1 Zombie Tooth
4 Zombie Bone
Skill: Raging Strength
You have acquired a skill:
Raging Strength – Active (Level 1)

Cost: 200 MP per minute
You have acquired a skill:
Fireball – Active (Level 1)
Burn baby, Burn!
Cost: 50 MP
Finally some skills that can use MP. Although I really don't know how I gained the Fireball skill. Maybe because I created a fire attack and it helped me?
Whatever it will help me against the zombies.
I walked on a little sad that Piercer has shattered but with 4 durability I was aware that it may be a one-time attack.
I came across with more quirkless Zombies and I used my fireballs to dispatch them. Quickly finding out that I have a very shallow MP pool. Before pulling out the pipe from my inventory and bashing them with it. I didn't took to the air this time as I have almost half of my QP gone, though both it and my MP are replenishing slowly.
I trudged deeper and deeper getting another level up from all the Quirkless Zombies putting all my points into Vitality this time.
Eventually just as my MP and QP turn to full I encountered another Quirk Zombie with super strength.
With my Ring of Hercules I have a total strength of 35, plus Raging Strength skill gives me with an additional of 50 strength that I can maintain for two minutes.
Let's test just how powerful this guy is.
'Raging Strength!'
I felt a massive surge of energy flowing through my body and I know this is it.
As smart and strategic as I am. I'm still a man, and as someone who was kicked into the dirt all my life. I will release all my pent up frustrations now.
I charged, using my flight to speed into him at Mach 1; I threw the biggest punch of my life. All the force of my strength and all the speed of my quirk. He didn't stand a chance.
My entire arm hurt but thanks to the increased Vitality of Raging Strength nothing's broken. Though perhaps since it came with an increase in HP I would have been alive anyway. No use overthinking it now.
I deactivated the power-up.

No damage. Cool.
Just a little more for another level up. Hmm, time to finish the dungeon.
I walked further and further and encountered a lot more zombies, both quirk and non-quirk though I only ever see the super strength quirk. It was rather simple to eliminate them. As I would turn my enhancements on and off and wail on the quirkless zombies with the pipe or with my Martial Arts, sometimes even burning them.
I got a couple levels on the skills and on myself as well.
Seeing as I needed more MP I placed all my points on Intelligence.
Finally just as I was about to call it a day, I heard trumpets blowing. I of course investigated and ended up being trapped inside a force field that suddenly erected itself around the central area probably making sure no one who finds out can escape.
"So, you're the one that's been attacking my minions." A woman's voice called out.
I walked further and saw a young teen probably 16 wearing a cloak that was parted from the middle showing her to be in leggings and a bikini top. She looked irritated at me.
"You're just a kid."
"You're just a teenager." I fired back.
"I can't let you escape and tell the heroes about my plan now. Goodbye kid. Now be one of my minions!" I heard a rushing sound and turned to the left where I saw a mass of bones all moving staking together until it rose up about 20 feet high.
'Observe'
Colossal Skeleton Warrior
Level 10
HP: 5000
MP: 0
Formed from multiple corpses, it inspires fear into the hearts weak men and women alike.
Weak against Fire, blunt weapons, light.
Resistant against Ice, stabbing weapons, dark.
Beat to gain 50,000 exp.
This is bad. I tried to use ID Escape but was told that I can't exit during a boss fight. Alright let's do this.
I activated Raging Strength again.
I still shouldn't fight this thing head on even if I can. Let's get rid of its movement first.
I left another sonic boom behind me as I rocketed towards its massive left knee cap. My fist didn't shatter it. It turned it to powder instead.
Enemy HP: 4000/5000
This doesn't seem so bad. I flew towards its head and completed two more hits before something struck me and sent me rocketing to the ground. I created a crater on impact.
HP: 678/1750
Somebody got plate of that bus?
I groaned and got looking around to find two Colossal Skeletons, one standing and the other kneeling and looking beaten up.
One hit did that much damage?
I stood up and started thinking. The skeletons couldn't react in time with my speed, but that speed also caused me to get a sort of tunnel vision. Fighting two would be disastrous.
Maybe I should take out the summoner first.
Making my decision I once again went high speed, though only 100 miles per hour and not at mach speed. I went to the second skeleton and also crushed its knee.
Enemy HP: 4300/5000
Not as much damage but it's still immobile now. I did a barrel roll to avoid its counter attack as well as the other one's before going mach 1 again and smacked the villain unconscious. With her down my enemies should no longer increase.
I slowed again and pummeled the two enemies to death before going to the villain.
As she was unconscious I observed her.
Mika Kurosagachi
Level 4
HP: 10/400
QP: 400/5000
A young necromancer that wants to kill her father for abusing her and her sister as a child. She mastered her quirk and eventually found herself in a different dimension to build up her forces. She wants to kill her father and the heroes for not being able to protect her sister.
Weak to Physical attacks.
Resistant against Magic based attacks.
Beat to gain: 400 Exp.
I almost killed her with a slight tap. I sighed and scratched the back of my head. I was wondering what I should do when the blue textbox appeared.
With Mika being unconscious you have been declared the winner of the battle. She will be sent back to her world to be sent to justice.
As she disappeared into motes of light I received another pop-up
