The Grim Reaper

'Thought'

"Speaking"

Chapter 3

I looked down from where I was to a small apartment building and casually drop down from the rooftop I was on and with years of physical training and experience, I landed on the pavement with not much difficulty.

Strange, it might be because there's probably some logic that doesn't apply here than in my previous world since that drop should have killed me. My Quirk is not having no kind of relation to why I survive the fall but maybe there is, but I just don't know it yet. Part of me is still feels the weirdness of being here at a world that I know about from fiction even after three years and yet… here I am. I am living in the world of My Hero Academia with a powerful Quirk that can end life.

Currently I'm walking towards the small apartment at the same time using my quirk ability to invisible by one of my skills called Death of Sight. By bringing death to my concept of appearance, to the eyes to those around me, I am completely invisible to the eye.

"Le Brava" I spoke through a communication device attached to my mask.

"Here, what is it Shin".

"You are certain about this person's mother?"

"Absolutely! Please don't underestimate my smarts after all this time together, me helping you along with my beloved Gentle"

Hmhm I chuckle at the high pitched voice of a woman despite her small stature is one of the best information handler in the world.

"Just making one last assurance since her child may pass soon"

"…. There is no other way is there?" she said with a small, saddened voice. I replied.

"None. With his kind of Quirk and what our world current technology, even at I-Island, there is no other way"

She sighed and finally said before she fell silence.

"If only world `cared` more"

"….Yes, if only" I continued on into the building after that.

A few minutes of walking has passed, and I entered the room of where a certain boy and his mother is living. I looked around and wasn't surprised that's everything was a mess and quite run down, showing that their finance is clearly low. Truly a careless woman and mother. I heard the sound of sadness and tears coming from another room and realise the boy I'm here for is here. I headed there and prepared myself what I'm about to do.

The young boy's name is Riku and his only 10 years old and only at the age of 6 did his Quirk manifest but even before then, his life wasn't a really good one. His only parent is his mother who by all account a complete scum of both as a person and a guardian.

I knew the info of what kind of quirk he possesses but as I entered the boy's room and looked at him, I now truly grasp his situation. Riku's quirk is a mutant type as his entire body is made out of stone. His figure is still that of a human shape but made out of rocks but as I look more closely, I could also see metallic elements on some parts of the stones in his body.

Riku was and is always bedridden ever since his quirk showed because when his entire body transformed into rocks and small part metals, the elements are very weak linked together that formed his body and can easily fall apart when moving too much. Should some parts to be taken from him, his quirk usually regenerates making new stones and metal. Worst of all despite this new form of his, Riku can still feel his sense of touch and can feel pain.

His very mother uses this disgusting opportunity to get more money by selling the metallic part of her son who's bedridden in the past 4 years. Taking the metals that's been part of the rocks of her sons quirk knowing of the pain she causes him and sells them for money.

Riku was crying and I could both tell from his voice and somehow the only thing that's seemed human like part is his eyes making tears flow out.

(Whistling) – Death's Whistle

Riku heard a whistling melody closely to him and then he noticed his door opened and clearly see me now. His cry started to fade when seeing me and I could tell he is scared and a little recognition. He then heard me speak trying to ease him despite showing him my appearance that I disabled when entering his room.

"Riku, please be calm and there's no need to be afraid." I told him softly. I could he's still afraid and confused of my attitude but I spoke again that seemed to ease him a little.

"I am here for you as friend" Riku's widened eyes slowly went down and his spoke.

"I..I….I heard about y…you" his voice despite being a ten years old, it quite rough.

"Have you now? Well, what is it that you heard about me" still speaking softly and grab a stool and sat beside him. Slowly but surely, I can see the tension he feels is fading even though I'm this close to him.

"Yes, even though I'm in bed all time, mommy turns up the TV volume really loud about some news. Saying about skeleton wearing a hood being named The Grim Reaper taking bad guys and stuff." From the way he speaks there are still many traces of innocence in him. I chuckled at that and spoke to him.

"Yes, I am that skeleton wearing a hood and taking bad guy and stuff" but I continued.

"I am also a skeleton that saves other people from being hurt"

"and I am here for you because you are hurt" him eyes widened after that.

"oh… you are here to save me?" I then replied.

"Yes because I don't want you to be sad and crying anymore. Because you are hurting"

"But mommy said I'm going okay and I'm helping her" clearly telling lies to her very own son that she doesn't care about other that increasing her back account.

"I'm really sorry Riku but…. Your mommy only said those things to you because….. she's making money with bad people by hurting you" I said to him with so much of my soft tone as possible. I really didn't want to lie to him about his own mother and just simply said the truth about her. The boys eyes widen much more and I could see tears are building up he said.

"But…but…but that's not true! Please tell me it's a lie mister! I…I… can't…" it's here that reached out and grabbed a hold onto his stoned hand and squeezed. I could tell he could feel my hand. I interject him saying.

"Riku I'm sorry. It's okay, mommy is not here and you can let it out. I am here" right then in there Riku wailed loudly, and tears are pouring out of pure sadness.

While my other hand kept a hold onto Riku, I placed my scythe on my shoulder and laid my other had on Riku head, gently patting him and repeatedly saying Its okay.

After a few minutes, he finally calmed down and only sniffles remained. After a few minutes after a small silence, Riku spoke again turning his head towards me.

"Is it really true mister?" I lowered my head a little.

"Yes, I'm sorry Riku"

"Mister, it really hurts when mommy keeps take things from me and always saying that it's going to be okay and I'm helping her…. It hurts…. It hurts a lot." A moment of silence came after.

"Mister Reaper, you said you're here to save me right?"

"Yes Riku. I'm here to save you because I don't want to say hurt anymore"

"Then please mister….please save me….I don't want to be hurt anymore"

"Riku…do not worry. I am here to put you to sleep so you can rest without ever worrying about getting hurt anymore.

"(sniffle) R… Really?" he sounded a little relief and… hopeful.

"of course, and when you wake up, you'll sit up and stand up with your own two feet with no pain whatsoever and you will go to your next journey". Riku smiled slightly at that with his stoned shaped lips. And then he asked me.

"Next journey? What is it?" tone with all the innocence of a young child.

I was still holding his hand and head with my gloved hands and then my hand one his head lowered to caress his cheek like a parent and said.

"That's for you to find to find out"…

My thumb that's on his cheek simply touched Riku's Death Mark in the shape of a line, and no moments later, Riku's eyelids are lowering as if he's starting to fall as sleep.

Then Riku, a 10-year-old boy… has passed.

The stoned-metal form of Riku's body simple crumble down and lost it's human form. I was still holding the young boy's hand and cheek and spoke to him.

"Be at peace Riku. The next chapter of your life awaits".

I stood up and called Le Brava on my communicator.

"Have everything on the mother's activities be sent to the police station. Physical evidence included. Also get it to the public internet for everyone to know themselves. She simply answered.

"Already on it" hearing her typing on the keyboard with such speed.

I activated my ability to conceal myself and made my way out of the apartment building. I jump to one of the roof tops and once I landed, I heard explosion noises close to me. I also noticed the pro hero Mt. Lady towering the buildings near the black smoke.

I made my way there and just said to myself.

"It Begins".
