A/N: A plot bunny whispered sweet nothings in my ear and this happened. May very well be a one-shot, but hey, if it ends up gaining traction, then I may very well continue it.


In the end, the only thing that proved capable of defeating him was old age.

And it seemed even that couldn't keep him down for long because just as soon as his eyes closed, they snapped open. But he was no longer in some shitty hospital surrounded by other old people. No, he was on a random couch in a random house.

But the house seemed familiar. Why did it seem familiar?

He tapped the side of his head and was nearly knocked on his ass as another set of memories came flooding into his brain.

Orario. Gods. Adventurers. Dungeons. Valis. Levels. Falna. Soma. Pallum. Liliruca Arde.

She let out a scream as she practically catapulted off the couch and landed on the other side of the room, back pressed against the wall.

She, no, he, ugh, confusing.

She remembered.

That's right. She was Liliruca Arde. The Pallum. The patsy of the Soma Familia.

And yet, she was also something more. Something so much more.

A man with a bald head who could defeat any foe with but a single punch.

The strongest hero in the world.

Saitama.

And as much as she wanted to claim the memories to be fake, she couldn't.

Wait- oh god.

She quickly reached up to her head and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized her hair was still intact.

She was never training that hard again. Both out of fear of losing her hair and of losing the excitement of combat. A thing she had never really cherished until now.

However . . .

She looked down at her hands. Her scrawny, 13 year old hands.

Maybe training for at least a year wouldn't be a bad thing. And with the boost the Falna gives me . . . I should be able to protect myself in the dungeon just fine.

She nodded to herself.

And then proceeded to do one push up.

She instantly regret it.


A year and some change later saw a changed Liliruca Arde speeding through the dungeon at speeds she could only imagine moving at before. Not even the War Shadows on the 6th floor could touch her as she made short work of them.

She smirked, feeling the adrenaline of combat flood through her entire body as she made it to the 13th floor and found some enemies who could actually challenge her.

She was currently Level 2 and the Captain of the Soma Familia after she had punted the previous Captain in the balls so hard he retired from adventuring forever. It was his fault for trying to get frisky with her.

And Soma was also impressed with her resilience. She had drank his wine and hadn't even blinked.

She was never one for alcohol, at least in her former life.

But perhaps it had something to do with the skill she had unlocked.

Limit Breaker - Limits do not apply.

Because of that, there was no hard cap for her stats. Her Abnormal Resistance being at G likely also had something to do with it.

She ducked under the fist of a Minotaur and smirked up at him, the crazed look in her eyes actually making the beast take a step backward before she launched forward and slammed her right fist into his stomach and sent him hurtling backward. But he did not fall.

Good. He can take a hit.

Her fist met his and the shockwaves from their clash caused the entire room to shake. But in the end, he was the one to buckle, the bones in his arms cracking.

She laughed. "Sorry, but I win this one!"

And then he was blown back into a wall, whereupon he exploded in a shower of gore.

As she plucked the magic stone from the remains, she suddenly remembered - she had a party.

She looked backward.

"Ah- I left them on the first floor. It's not my fault they're so slow."

While in the past, she had been a Supporter and someone who had scammed others to get by.

Now, she was a front-line adventurer who didn't need to rely on such underhanded tactics.

"Sensei!"

She blinked and her head rotated toward the sound of the voice. Long blonde hair, eyes that craved strength- that was Ais Wallenstein.

But Lili knew her by another name.

A certain name possessed by a certain Cyborg.

To think that Genos' new self would be so much like his old one though.

Still, it was certainly amusing, seeing a Level 4 from the Loki Familia call a Level 2 from the Soma Familia 'Sensei.'

Some things never changed.
