In the great kingdom of Uuyaa, there is legend of a mighty helm capable of granting the wearer psychic power, hidden in the tomb of a fallen demigod. Many have attempted to claim this treasure, but none have succeeded.

One party of adventurers however sought to succeed where the other had failed.

The party of four entered the tomb. Taking the lead was Izuku the Brave, a young adventurer who lacked the ability to use magic but made up for it with his swordsmanship, and possession of a legendary weapon passed down throughout the generations. He was on a quest to defeat the Dark Lord that looked over the kingdom. Right behind him was the Mage Ochako, a talented spellcaster who sought enough wealth to buy her family's smithery back. Then there was Tenya, brave Paladin of Heronious on a quest to avenge his mentor's murder at the hands of a legendary assassin. Bringing up the rear was Shoto of Envor, the prince of a neighboring kingdom come to Uuyaa to escape his father's control. They had formed their group after realizing that they could achieve their goals much easier together as opposed to alone.

And this dungeon was but another stepping stone towards their goals.

"Everyone be careful, there could be traps..." Said Izuku

"I'm not seeing anything..." Muttered Ochako.

"Just stay on guard, there's a reason nobody has ever reached the demigod's tomb..." Tenya Added.

They continued down the dark hallway, guided by the illumination of Shoto's light spell.

"Hold up." Said Shoto "The ground ahead appears uneven..."

The group stopped. The floor ahead was indeed uneven, with some of the stone tiles that made up the floor sticking out more than others.

"Let's see..."

Izuku took out a rubber ball and tossed it down the hallway. As soon as it touched one of the floor tiles a spike shot out from the ground, impaling the ball before retracting back into the ground, leaving the deflated ball on the ground.

"A spike trap." Said Tenya.

"We'll have to be careful..." Added Shoto

Izuku got into a runner's stance.

"Can't activate the trap if I don't touch the floor."

Izuku rushed forwards and jumped, rebounding off the walls as he successfully maneuvered over the uneven floor.

"All that acrobatics training he did with that old rogue Torino is really paying off." Said Ochako.

Upon landing Izuku looked over and smiled.

"Ochako lets go."

Ochako raised her staff and uttered an incantation, casting a levitation spell on herself. Now floating she used her staff to push herself over the ground and towards Izuku, who helped her back down. Tenya scratched his chin.

"Maybe if I'm fast enough..."

Tenya activated a haste spell, enhancing his speed and reflexes and dashed forwards, despite his steel armor he was able to outrun most of the spikes, with only one or two managing to pierce his feet.

"Agh!"

Despite the pain he pressed on, making it to the other side.

"Are you alright Iida?" Izuku Asked

"Y-Yeah."

They turned their attention to Shoto.

"Its all up to you Shoto." Said Ochako.

Shoto nodded.

And then proceeded to freeze the entire floor.

"W-What..."

Shoto nonchalantly walked across the floor over the traps.

"There, now lets mo-"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT EARLIER!?" Asked Iida

"Hm?"

"You could have frozen the ground and we could have just walked over it!" He continued.

"... oh"

Iida facepalmed as Ochaco and Izuku looked on awkwardly.

"I mean he's not wrong but..."

"Hopefully that's all for traps."

The continued further, passing by a number of old caskets.

"Wonder who else was buried here." Muttered Ochako

"The Demigod was a great military leader." Said Izuku "He was admired by all sorts of warriors, both friend and foe... it wouldn't be surprising if they wanted to be buried alongside him."

"Wow you sure know a lot about old heroes."

Izuku smiled.

"Oh I'm a huge fa-"

Without warning a skeleton burst out of a nearby casket and grabbed Izuku.

"Ah!"

Ochako knocked it back with her staff, freeing Izuku.

"You alright?"

"I'll live."

Several more caskets opened up and more skeletons emerged, some brandishing weapons.

"Okay less likely to live."

Iida drew his lance and smirked.

"Foul undead! You face a holy knight!"

Iida charged in, impaling a skeleton with his lance. The monster clawed at him whilst skewered until the Paladin finished him off by slamming him against a wall, shattering the bones.

"Ha!"

Shoto drew his short sword and readied magic in his free hand while Izuku drew a long sword.

"Remember, aim for the head." Said Izuku.

Shoot launched out a volley of ice spikes, striking several skeletons. Izuku found himself fighting with an axe wielding skeleton. Ochako began casting a spell on herself.

"Enlarge!"

Ochako grew to a much larger size, easily towering over the skeletons.

"Try this on for size!"

She stepped on a pair of skeleton warriors and knocked a group back with her large forearm. Izuku meanwhile cleaved a pair of skeletons in half.

"We got this!" Said Izuku

Iida nodded as he knocked one skeleton into another, shattering them both.

Shoto uttered an incantation and set his sword ablaze, striking down a pair of skeletons that charged at him.

"Just a few more left and-"

Before he could finish a Skeleton got the jump on Izuku. It grabbed onto him from behind and attempted to strangle him.

"Gah!"

"Izuku!"

Ochako swung At the skeleton, attempting to shatter it, but the Skeleton not only managed to free itself, it also grabbed onto Ochako's large hand.

"What just-"

The skeleton pried lose one of its ribs and started stabbing Ochako's hand with it.

"Ah! Guys I could use some help!"

Izuku leapt into action. He reached into his satchel and pulled a throwing knife.

"Hold still!"

He let the knife fly, where it embedded itself in the skull, finishing off the skeleton. By that point all of the other skeletons were defeated and Ochako shrunk herself back to normal size. Izuku rushed over to Ochako's side.

"L-let get That for you."

Izuku pulled out a first aid kit and got to work bandaging the wounds.

"Izuku-"

"That Skeleton was a crafty one wasn't it? I bet it was a rogue in its past life."

"Izuku I-"

"I don't seem to have any disinfectant though, so you might want to watch that in case it gets infected-"

"Izuku I have healing magic."

Izuku looked at Ochako, then at the wound on her hand (realizing at that point that their hands were touching as well) then back at Ochako,

"Oh yeah right..."

Ochako healed herself while Izuku awkwardly looked to the side.

"Alright, tend to your wounds and let us continue." Said Tenya "The helm awaits."

The party entered a large room. Despite its size there was only one noteworthy thing in the room, that being the gold coffin at the end of it.

"There it is." Said Shoto "The Demigod's tomb."

Tenya wasted no time rushing towards the coffin.

"Almost there friends."

"Iida no!" Izuku shouted "There could be a-"

Just then a large monster dropped from the ceiling, landing in front of Iida. It's humanoid body was covered in black fur, and it had the head of a bull. In its hands was a massive battle axe.

"Minotaur!" Shoto shouted.

The beast brought its axe down, Tenya barely managing to dodge out of the attack's way.

"Of course there'd be one more thing in the way!" Yelled Ochako as she prepped a spell. "THERES ALWAYS ONE MORE THING."

Finishing her spell Ochako fired a barrage of magic missiles, hitting the Minotaur in the side. The Minotaur responded by snorting and charged at her. The Mage rolled out of the way, causing the Minotaur to crash into the wall. Shoto cracked his knuckles and rushed in, hands glowing with magic.

"I'll hold it in place!" Shoto shouted "Once I freeze it, you guys hit it with everything you got!"

Shoto slammed both hands on the ground by the Minotaur, freezing Its legs in place. It grunted in surprise, not realizing that two other attackers were making their moves. Tenya charged in, channeling holy energy into his lance for a divine smite. At the same time Ochako fired a sunblast from her staff. The spear pierced the Minotaur's chest and it's body surged with holy energy. Moments later Ochako's blast hit it in the head, causing the beast to let out a roar of pain.

"I think we almost got it!" Said Iida.

Suddenly the Minotaur grabbed Iida and threw him at Shoto, knocking them both back. The Minotaur then shattered the Ice restraining it with its axe and glared at Ochako.

"Deku I need a hand!"

While everyone else was fighting the Minotaur, Izuku was studying the Minotaur, watching its movements and actions to find weaknesses.

And he found one.

"I got this..."

Izuku put his hand on the ornate sheathed longsword at his hip.

"Keep it focused on you! I just need to strike at the right opening!"

"I can do that!" Ochako replied, gripping her staff tighter.

Izuku's plans never failed before, and they weren't going to start here.

The Minotaur charged at Ochako once more, axe skidding against the ground as it ran leaving a trail of sparks.

"FORCE WALL!"

Ochako manifested a wall of invisible energy, blocking the Minotaur and shielding her from harm. The monster clashed against the wall and roared as it hacked away with its weapon.

"I never used this on a target this size! I don't think it'll hold for too long!"

"I won't need much time." Said Izuku, a determined look on his face.

And with that he drew his sword: an ornate gold longsword that flickered with fire and sparks of green electricity as he readied it. The legendary blade One for All had been used to slay dragons, inter-planar foes, and even a mad god at one point in its exsistance. A Minotaur was nothing to the sword, and by extension it's current owner.

"NOW!"

Izuku charged at the Minotaur, the electricity jumping to his body and surging around him. Meanwhile the forcewall was beginning to crack as the Minotaur wore away at it.

"It's at the halfway point!"

"IM HERE!"

Izuku dashed forwards at inhuman speeds, sword engulfed by fire.

"LETS GO! FAERUN SLASH!"

And with that Izuku slashed, hitting at a weak spot in the back of the minotaur's neck. The slash cut clean through with ease, leaving a trail of green flame behind. It let out one final roar of pain before falling over dead, its corpse shattering Ochako's force wall in the process.

"You did it De-!"

Before she could finish Izuku crashed head first into Ochako, sending them both into the ground.

"Oof..."

"Sorry...went too fast..."

"That's an understatement..."

"Yeah... got anymore healing spells?"

The party was fully healed a minute later as Izuku claimed the helm from the demigod's casket and held it up.

"The demigod's helm..." muttered Izuku

"They say it granted the demigod psionic power." Added Shoto "It'll be useful against the dark lord."

"Indeed, but what sort of psionic power can it grant?" Tenya mused "We should bring this to the artificer."

"And let her blow it up? No let's just test it right here." Said Shoto.

Izuku nodded and slipped the helmet on.

"Anything Izuku?" Tenya asked "do you feel like you have great psychic power?"

"Can you shoot mind lasers?" Ochako Asked

"If it shoots mind lasers I call dibs." Added Shoto.

"N-No nothing like that... I don't know what it-"

"That helmet looks a little silly on Deku."

"Eh?"

Izuku looked at Ochako in confusion. The girl had not opened her mouth but he clearly heard her voice.

"Does make him look cute though...l cuter than normal anyways... and to think just a minute ago he felled a Minotaur... well I do love that about him."

"LOVE!?"

Izuku didn't realize what he said aloud until everybody looked at his blushing face.

"Izuku is the helmet causing you metal strain!?" Asked Tenya "Your face is all red!"

Izuku took the helmet off and set it down.

"I think it lets people read minds..."

Ochako flushed as she realized the implication.

"He heard... my thoughts."

Ochako picked up the helmet and put it on just to hide her embarrassed face, not realizing that she too can read minds now.

"She said she loves me." Thought Izuku "S-She... She loves me too?"

Ochako's eyes widened.

"She loves me too?"

"Ochako is it true?" Shoto asked "Can the helmet read minds?"

Ochako didn't answer him. Instead she took the helmet off and looked at Izuku, her face just as red.

"You...l heard it didn't y-"

Izuku never finished. Before he could Ochako tackled the fighter to the ground and caught his lips in her own, eliciting a loud scream of shock from their two companions.

The entire table erupted into screams as Ochako described her actions. The group's DND campaign hadn't had a moment like this since Iida soloed that Cyclops.

"URARAKA DID YOU JUST!?"

"That was sudden." Added Shoto.

Meanwhile Aoyoma, the DM erupted into applause.

"Magnificent! Truly magnificent!" He cheered "Its so... sparkly and romantic!"

Ochako blushed nervously.

"I just did what I felt my character would do..." Said Ochako "Izuku has been there for her since day one... and now that she knows he like her back..."

Izuku rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"I mean Izuku does think Ochako is... c-cute... if you want our characters to enter a relationship I'm down for it."

"As long as you don't mind..."

Aoyoma stood up and began sparkling.

"Yes wonderful! I'll start planning a marriage arc immediately."

"ITS TOO SOON FOR THAT!" Both players shouted,

Tenya chuckled at his friend's antics.

"Well I guess congratulations are in order..."

"Now you just need to hook up with the artificer and you can double date." Said Shoto

"Don't push it." Said Tenya.

Ochako And Izuku glanced at each other and smiled. This was a new experience for them, a relationship. Even if it was part of a game.

Deep down however they both wished they were as confident as their characters were.

This was probably my favorite chapter as well as the reason I did Izuocha Week. Mainly because I'm a giant nerd who runs a DnD game on mondays.

I hope you guys enjoyed it.
