Open World: Heroes

by BioQuill

Izuku Midoriya was a quirkless child in a world of super heroes and villains. When his idol, the number one hero, tells him he can not become a hero without a quirk, he finally gives into his own demons, and jumps to take his own life. Fate, however, has other plans, and Izuku will soon learn that quirks are just one way to become a hero, in an endless reality of possibility.

2. Chapter 2: Power

Two weeks had passed since I arrived in this world. Two weeks since I lost my old life, gained this new one and this new family. Two weeks since Delilah came into my life.

"Two weeks and you haven't gone on a date yet." Kai said as he, Tomura and I walked through the streets.

"It's just… I've never asked a girl out before…" I stuttered.

"Don't think too much about it." Tomura said honestly. "It'll only make it harder to ask her out, and it'll be even harder to ask to bang her." He shrugged, causing me to stop in my tracks.

"H-h-h-hold on, what!?" I asked in pure shock at how Tomura just openly stated something like...like that!

"Not surprised you don't know…" Kai said, holding laughter back. "The social norms here regarding sex are oh so different than back home. For example, you are fourteen, Delilah is sixteen. You two can get at it and as far as most people are concerned that's okay. Same for ages sixteen through twenty. And after eighteen it's free to be with whoever you want of your same age or older."

"And fetishes are okay as long as everyone's consenting and it follows the laws of the area you're in." Tomura said simply. "As long as everyone's ready, willing, and gives consent, then who cares when or where." He said. "Unless it's nonconsensual rape...yes, you can consent to rape...it's weird, don't ask...but rape is still a high crime."

"Uh…" Was all I could get out.

"I think we broke him." Kai said.

"I just… need to process that…" I said, rubbing my temples.

"You are now imagining Delilah stripping due to you hitting puberty." Tomura said in a...weirdly accurate 'infomercial' voice.

"S-stop that!" I swatted him away.

"Actually, when you think about it she might be having similar thoughts." Kai said. "She typically sleeps big spooning you."

"Wait that's what spooning is?!"

"When she showers she is rather… comfortable in a single towel around you and does leave the door open a crack."

"Wait how do you even know that?"

"Plus she's walking out of a lingerie store." Kai finished, pointed.

Slowly I looked… that's a lot of pink and rather… detailed mannequins on display. And there Delilah was, walking out with a bag sporting the store's color of pink and name on it.

"Looks like someone's preparing for a special night." Tomura chuckled.

"I-i-i." I shook my head. "What am I gonna do?!"

"My guy, just take a deep breath." Tomura told me. "It's not the end of the world, just talk to her, hang out, 'dating' is just a fancy word for hanging out with a friend from my experience." Tomura said.

"That experience being dating sims." Kai joked as he got elbowed by Tomura.

"My point is, before I got rudely interrupted." Tomura glared at Kai. "Is that you're going to hang out with a person that also likes you, just relax, and be yourself."

"I don't even know what to do for a date. Most of the time we go out to dungeons and walk around town." I said.

"Just talk to her." Tomura said. "Go out to eat somewhere, hang out at home, just hang out with her."

"And if ya do hand out at home, she might just put on that new dress she got." Kai said.

My face turned red and my nose splashed blood.

When we got back home I saw Delilah laid down on the couch. "Welcome back Izuku." She purred and sat up. "How'd your walk go?"

"We had to make sure he didn't pass out from blood loss due to several things." Tomura shrugged. "And we told him some...important things."

"That's good."

"Saw you in town." Kai said. "Planning something special?"

Delilah turned pink but smiled… woah… "Heh, when Izuku is up for it, it's waiting and ready."

There goes my nose again…

Once that stopped Delilah and I were in my… well, our room. I was on the computer looking up… dating stuff and she was napping on the bed.

Okay, breath. "Delilah." I said, she stirred and got up. "Do you, wanna, maybe…"

"Yes Izuku, I will go out with you."

I heard a loud Ha from the door. Tomura?! "Were you eavesdropping!?"

"I just wanted to make sure if you were going to be a nervous wreck or not." Tomura called out.

Delilah chuckled. "Want me to take care of the date plans?"

"I… well…" I tried to start.

"Relax Izuku, everything will be fine." Delilah said.

---

The first stop on our date… wow… a date… snap out of it! Okay, so the first stop on this date Delilah was taking me was… what? The Heroes Guild Hall of Fame?

"I didn't even know this was a thing." I said as I looked around.

"Well a lot of the best in the Heroes Guild get recognition." Delilah said as we walked through the manikins. "And Heroes are your thing."

"Heh, this is amazing." I said as we walked along the exhibits. "There's a lot of female heroes here."

"This is The Family of Heroes. They're mostly hermaphrodites."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Not sure why."

As we walked through the exhibits we got to heroes I was more familiar with.

"If there's one regret I have…" I heard...All Might talking. "Is that...all the Young Midoriya's I have failed to tend to, to see them flourish into the Heroes they aspired to be...either by them becoming Villains or...worse…" I saw, what I could only tell, a video interview behind a statue of All Might, telling the people how...he regretted what he said to me?

"I didn't think All Might's Interview would be playing today…" Delilah said carefully.

I looked at the statue, seeing the video play. I sighed. "It's not him, you know." I said, turning to Delilah. "That's not the All Might I know."

"And how do you know he's different?" Delilah asked carefully. "And what's stopping you from believing his words?"

"Because I'm not standing in front of him, and telling him he was wrong." I said, casting Levitation and picking up a trashed wrapper and tossing it into the trash can. "I don't know how, but one day, I will get back home… I can feel it. I'll find All Might, Kattchan, I'll show them how wrong they were, wrong about me. I will become a Hero."

"Want to know how you showed All Might you could be a hero back in your world?" Delilah asked me simply. "Cause you didn't need powers or a quirk to prove to All Might you could be a hero about...eight times out of ten."

"No thanks… I'm, actually pretty good. I idolized All Might so much that… I forgot in the end he is just a person too."

"A person who was given a quirk." Delilah mentioned.

"And I was given magic and spells… and someday I'll earn the Quirk Katzuki has waiting for me. For the first time in my whole life, I don't care that I was born without a quirk."

"And that's how you showed All Might how you were going to be a hero." Delilah giggled. "Not being born with a quirk, but being the first one to stand proud and say 'I'm gonna be a hero'."

I nodded, smiling as we continued through the exhibits. When that was over we took a walk in the park. Delilah took this opportunity to hug my arm like she was my sleeve. Needless to say I was red as we walked. "Is, uh, this a normal couples thing?"

"Yes." Delilah nodded. "Yes it is...although there's a lot of other normal couple things this world has to offer that's saved for later."

I laughed weakly. We eventually stopped for some ice cream and ate them at a bench. "So… do you remember anything before ending up in that pod?" I asked.

"All us Prize people know what our basic interests are and anything and everything about the person that won us." She said honestly.

"Really?"

"Mostly for Lover Prize's like me, while I have more of a personality than just what I know about you, it's mostly focused on your likes, dislikes, and so on." She shrugged.

"Huh. What about things like family or friends. Do you have anything like that?"

"Nope." She shook her head. "At least, not that I know of, cause in some cases Prize People are based on real life people or beings, so technically you could see me with my family and friends, but at the moment, I'm just me, trying to have a nice date with you Izuku." Delilah said honestly.

"Oh… so, I guess that makes Tomura, Kai, Katzuki and I like your family then huh?"

"Pretty much." She nodded.

"Huh. So, what… race are you? I know you look human but a lot of your features are cat like. Is that part of the Shrowdingers Cat ability of just part of you?"

"I'm a cat girl by birth." The cat girl nodded. "I'm just stupid lucky to have gained that legendary ability."

"So I hear. They typically just, appear at random right? They don't work like other Ability classes from what I read."

"Yeah, Legendary abilities are about as random as they come. Sometimes you can get them by beating bosses, other's through certain situations, other's just by random chance." She shrugged. "No one really knows, unless your Mother and she knows basically everything besides...like a couple of things."

"Huh. How do villains work here? I know when researching Hero guilds some common enemy villain guilds were mentioned. Is being a villain here the same as being a hero is back home, more a job than anything?"

"Pretty much." She shrugged. "Villain Guilds are jobs, keep's things regulated and doubly makes sure people don't go overboard like some villains normally would." She shrugged. "Plus it's a lot better than...the alternative…" She said nervously.

I nodded. I read about that, Chaos Guilds. Guilds unsanctioned by The Family that deal in illegal drugs, slavery and other of the far darker side of crimes. They were nearly wiped to extinction back in this realities early days but small pockets still exist here and there. "Right, and Hero Guilds basically act like police but for people causing trouble with the villains guilds or responding to SoS markers from people exploring Hazards Zones." I sighed.

"Pretty much." She nodded. "But then there's the actual police, most of them being retired heroes who didn't want to be a part of the guilds anymore but still wanted to do some good."

"Huh. It's kinda weird hearing that. So, aside from your Legendary Ability what other abilities do you have?"

"Just form racials, I would Dexterity Up and Enhanced Senses." She said simply. "Other than that, not much considering I don't have any skill points yet."

"Right. So, where are we going after this?"

"Well, considering I've dragged you to a couple of places, where would you like to go?" The cat with a hat asked me.

Wait, when did she get a hat? "Well… maybe the movies? I haven't seen much in terms of TV or movies in this world so that should be interesting."

"Oh yeah, there's so many good movies out right now." Delilah said honestly. "Any kind of movie you want to see first?"

"Well, nothing in particular honestly. Any suggestions?"

Delilah smiled, scarfing down the last of her ice cream before taking me to a nearby 'Classics' theater. She bought two tickets for Iron Man.

When that movie was over she got another pair for Captain America, and I loved both those movies.

I mostly liked iron man since he had no actual powers and built that suit… damn I could have done that back home come to think of it? "That's pretty incredible for a hero movie. It's nothing like how they went back home."

"Marvel Movies have been a good source of entertainment and to show how heroes could be...unless your Captain Marvel, in which she's just been a bitch for too long and...well her movies not good." Delilah said honestly.

"Huh, still, a suit like that is amazing. And there's two more of those iron man movies and one other Captain America movie?"

"Two more Captain America movies, then Spider Man, Ant-Man, Thor and a whole host of other movies."

"I'm definitely going to watch them." With it getting rather late we started heading home. As we walked I noticed Delilah kept turning and looking behind us. "Is someone following us?"

"Certainly feels like it…" Delilah frowned, her cat ears straight up as if to hear something specific.

As we kept walking, she jumped back, pulling me with her as the ground under where we just were caved in unnaturally. "Well damn, keep forgetting to never underestimate beastials." A voice said from behind us. We turned, seeing a man dressed in a brown suit and hat. "Animal instincts are always a bitch to deal with."

"This is a safe zone asshole." Delilah hissed. "The fuck are you doing?"

"Safe zones only apply to monster spawns kitty, the dangers here are from the people, and the… Chaos."

Chaos… "You… are you with a villains Guild?" I asked.

He laughed. "Please. Don't put me in with those lightweights." He lifted his hat, his forehead held a tattoo of an outline of a hand with a blue dot near the palm. "Chaos Guilds pay more anyway."

Delilah's eyes widened. "We need to get out of here, now." Delilah whispered to me in honest fear. "So, why are you here asshole?" She asked carefully.

"You, actually. Shroudingers Cat, a lot of people will pay trillions of rem for it, and a little whore like you just spawns into existence with one the rarest abilities in existence."

"What did you call her?" I said, my tone went from fearful to anger.

"Piss off kid, this is between me and the girl. Don't think it will save you either. You have to remain unseen to use it."

"Like that's gonna be difficult." Delilah rolled her eyes. "But you best get to hiding before people start rushing here to kick your ass." The cat said simply, as I felt something softly nudge my left hand, the one...with my assistant. "But I also thought your specific Guild was destroyed in a raid a couple hundred years ago, what? Did you get tired of being a chicken shit or something?"

"While the heads were chopped off, the snake laid her eggs well hidden. Small as we may be, we're still alive." He stated, raising a hand. "Real, genuine evil, can't be killed so easily." His hand formed a fist, the earth under us splitting open as Delilah pulled us out before it crashed into itself. She pulled me and- how did he get in front of us?! "Not so easy to run away, little kitty."

"Listen, how about you just back off now, and we can all forget this happens." Delilah said carefully, holding me as close as she could but...also staying in front of me.

"Awh, but once that ability of yours is extracted, I was gonna sell you to a lovely little collector I know. He just adores feline females."

"Shut up!" I yelled, casting fire at him. He dodged but using telekinesis I turned it around, hitting him in the back of the head.

"Impressive technique." He said, the smoke fading. He didn't even look affected. "Good control too. But, not enough." He tapped a foot and the whole area began shaking. "Tectonic Implosion."

"Shit!" Delilah panicked as she grabbed me and started running as fast as she could carry me.

"Woah! This is… different!" I yelped as she jumped, the ground below us cracking open as it began hitting buildings, making them fall. She jumped into one… and suddenly it felt like… falling, then we were back home. Is… that what her ability feels like? "We're home? That's… incredible."

"Ms. Bakugo!?" Delilah called out in a panic. "We've got a problem."

"I know." Katzuki said, walking in adorned in her Time Walker robes, hood down. "Chaos Guild… you two… heading to the bedroom?" She asked. It took me a moment to realize Delilah was still holding me. Blushing I jumped to the ground.

"No, he was after Delilah." I said. "He wanted her ability."

Katzuki sighed. "Yeah that figures one of the few things they'll show up for is a Legendary Ability."

"It was Nexus." Delilah told her. "He had the symbol stamped on his forehead…"

"Cocky little turd." Katzuki huffed.

"Excuse me." I tensed, realizing that was Tomura's voice that...cold before. "Did I hear...Nexus?"

"Tomura…" Katzuki started carefully.

"Twelve years…" Tomura growled. "Twelve years Nexus has been hiding Jin…"

"And twelve years we've found nothing. Believe me, I want to find him as much as you, but you are out of your league when it comes to them." Katzuki stated.

"Who's Jin?" I asked.

Katzuki sighed. "Well, you know I take in Isekai orphans that are from worlds like mine. Jin is one of them. He was about fifteen when Kai and Tomura arrived. Big Brothered them both… then, one day, he was gone. He worked with the police as an investigator and, well, it was about the Chaos Guild Nexus. Jin went in and never came out, never respawned here at home… just missing."

"But now you have a Nexus groupie hunting you, and I'm going to make sure he tells me everything I want to know." Tomura stated.

"He was...that important to you?" Delilah asked, not knowing how dear Jin was to Tomura.

"I became a shut in after he left…" Tomura shook his head. "But now...we can finally figure out what happened to Jin…"

"Assuming this asswipe even knows anything." Katzuki said. She pulled her hood up and headed for the door. "Defense state Red, Code 77KJL." With that she ran out, the door slamming shut as it and all the walls and windows now glowed with a shimmering yellow light.

"Damn it, she locked us in…" Tomura frowned.

"Tomura?" I asked. He shifted, his anger turning to exhaustion from how he slumped. "Is Katzuki going to be okay?"

"She's a Time Walker, the only ones that can stand up to them are certain Level Five Bosses, and the Family." Tomura sighed out. "You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that even knows how strong they truly are, let alone anything that can stand up to them."

"Okay…" I sighed out. Katzuki is strong.

It was the next morning when Katzuki came home. She looked fine, just angry. "Fucking bastards…" She growled.

"How was it?" Tomura asked carefully.

"I know why they took Jin now." She said, placing a jar of… some kind of goop on the table. "They wanted his Quirk."

"No…" Tomura's eyes widened. "Even...even if his quirk diminishes the durability…" Tomura shook in worry.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Jin… his Quirk is called Twice. He can make copies of himself, his own copies can too and of other people. The copies are weaker in power and stats can still be bad. When a clone is destroyed it leaves behind this nasty goop, it's like an ooze of fast decaying programmable matter."

"And considering what can happen in this world…" Tomura clenched his fists in anger. "Do you know where they're holding him?"

Katzuki shook her head. "He suicides, and from how these clones are built to decay rapidly after death we can't even examine the corpses brain cause there is none."

"Can't you turn back the clock and bring it back?" Delilah asked curiously. "Like in Doctor Strange when he was able to reverse an apple getting eaten?"

Katzuki chuckled. "Time doesn't work like that kid. Not anymore anyways." She sighed.

"If it did, then a whole lot of things would either be solved, or get even worse." Tomura grumbled. "Damn those Nexus bastards…"

"So what do we do now?" I asked.

"Now, now it's not good." Katzuki sighed. "They're after Delilah, and Mother knows what they'll do to you all…"

"And wouldn't Mother or The Family step in with all these Ability Stealing?" Delilah asked nervously. "I thought it was impossible to steal abilities to begin with?"

"Steal yes… copy, no. That is very much possible. The ability Copy Cat can do that for every ability that isn't Legendary. If they have someone with copycat copying one's abilities and then they willingly pass it along to another… I'll have to report this possibility to the council and Mother herself."

"We need to save Jin...cause with Jin, they can copy Legendary abilities." Tomura brought up. "Which is...not good in anyway shape or form…"

"Wait, how?" I asked.

"Jin can copy anything, even people." Tomura said. "As long as he has the proper dimensions, he can clone two of any person he wants...and that person is a perfect copy, abilities and all." Tomura said. "So...if they manage to give Jin any Legendary Abilities...he can make any amount of himself and pass it on to any number of people…"

"A mass production line of replaceable fighters…" I said shakily.

"That's not what makes it so scary." Tomura said. "You can...pass on abilities willingly...so all of Nexus's soldiers could have any number of Legendary Abilities…"

"I…" Katzuki looked between us all. She grit her teeth. "I… am going to get in so much damn trouble for this…" She sighed, quickly scarfing down her breakfast. "Someone call Kai and get your things packed."

"Are you sure about this mom?" Tomura asked nervously. "We could just bring it to the Council and Mother and they'll sort this out right?"

"I'll go get him." Delilah said as she headed off to find Kai.

"What's… going on?" I asked.

"I'm going to jumpstart your fate and destinies kid… and get so much paperwork and backlash for it…" Katzuki groaned.

"This is becoming a massive emergency mom." Tomura said honestly. "Even if the paperwork will be a pain in the ass...but why backlash?"

"Breaking rules mostly but… I'd rather not talk about the punishment for it."

---

We found ourselves in a remote place here in the Hazards Zones. The dungeon here was… different. "I think mom's trying to kill us…" Kai said.

The dungeon before us was unique. It's what one called a Custom Dungeon. A dungeon built by an Admin, and from the… sense of fear and dread just looking at us gave off, it was a Void Admin's dungeon.

"No I'm not. Besides, he'll go easy on you lot to start off." Katzuki said as she knocked on the doors.

"This is still a Void Admin's dungeon…" Tomura said nervously. "You really sure this is a good idea?"

"Not at all but it's the best means of getting you all ready." They hammered the door. "Hey, Kurogiri!"

"Either your stupid for coming here Katsuki, or your really desperate." Someone said out of nowhere as the door opened to reveal...a very well dressed man. "Oh, you even brought the kids, so which is it? Stupid or Desperate?"

"Both and shut the fuck up I'm calling in that favor you owe me." She huffed. "It's Nexus… they're back."

"God damn it…" The smoke covered man sighed out. "Get in." He said, opening the doors wider and stepping to the side.

We all entered… huh, a living room? He set out some drinks and we all took a seat. He took a , in a flash of black and green numbers a large bottle of whiskey appeared in his hand. "As I said, Nexus has resurfaced. They're after her." Katzuki said, motioning to Delilah. "She has the Schrodinger's Cat ability."

"Cause of course…" He groaned. "And let me guess, this also includes Jin?"

"How did you…" Tomura asked.

"Who do you think she came to first?" The person asked. "With my ability to open portals to anywhere in known reality, it was the least I can do...little did I know I'd end up owing her later because of it..."

"I need you to train them for fights. Train them to be heroes. And I will be sending others here as well."

"Do you know how much of a headache that will be for the both of us?" Kurogiri asked carefully.

"Well, I'm fully aware of it on my end." Katzuki stated, making Kurogiri growl in annoyance. "Look, we can bitch about this for years on end but we both know that anything involving the Nexus Chaos Guild is bad news. It's very much possible that by using a mix of Jin's Quirk and the Copy Cat Ability they can mass produce both abilities and armies."

"And you didn't take this straight to Mother herself why?" Kurogiri asked.

"Cause this is faster?" Tomura guessed.

"Because as bad as it is… it's allowed." Katzuki huffed. "And as long as it's not perma death Mother won't step in. The Sons and Daughters and yes us Time Walkers all will though. The issue now though is finding them. Nexus has always been slippery bastards before and after the war."

"Well...can't we track Jin's Assistant?" Tomura suggested. "Or try and ask the Black Market Guilds?"

"We've tried, the tracker is getting jammed. It's typically something only level five dungeons do and even then it's rare."

"Wait, are you saying their base of operations is likely a level five dungeon?" I asked.

"Chaos Guilds do typically use them for that. No one other than the strongest get in and out."

"And none of us will have any chance of getting that strong in any noticeable amount of time…" Tomura grumbled.

"That's what he is for." Katzuki said. "This is Kurogiri's dungeon. He has total controls over how it generates, how strong the enemies are, and can pick bosses for the final floors. Here you all can really track your progress."

"There's experience, what about Skill Points?" Tomura inquired.

Kurogiri sighed. "I know some people in the Adventures Guild. I can set that up for you all."

"So...how much trouble will we be in for doing this?" Kai brought up. "Cause it sounds like this is kind of illegal for some reason."

"Well… it is and isn't. I can't explain it myself but all you need to know is that what happens from this point on was meant to happen, just later on." Katzuki sighed.

"But this is really important." Delilah said. "Sometimes things need to...speed up to meet the demands."

"So it seems… and now that you are all here and safe, I have to go." Katzuki said.

"Hopefully the others won't bitch at you too hard." Tomura said honestly.

"You… when will we see you again?" Kai asked.

"Likely… holidays. Knowing what's waiting for me given this breach of protocol it's the only days I'll be given free time."

"Cause of course…" Tomura grumbled.

"But…" I started, stopping as I felt Katzuki pat my head.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Next time I see you all, you'll be so much stronger. Okay?" She said.

"...Okay." I said with a nod.

"Good. Kai, be a good big brother alright."

"Heh, yes mom." Kai said with a nod.

"And Tomura… don't stay cooped up playing games all day, okay?"

"Considering I'm gonna have to be thrown into a dungeon for god knows how long…" Tomura sighed out. "Just...come back safe alright?"

"I will." Katzuki laughed. "And Delilah, try not to break Izuku while flirting, okay?"

"No promises." Delilah giggled warmly.

I blushed but shook it off. "So, til next time?" I asked.

Katzuki laughed. "Yeah, til next time kid." With that, Katzuki put her hood back up and left through the doorway.

For a while we sat there, upset and worried.

"So… I guess you'll be needing rooms then..." Kurogiri said with a deep sigh.

"And these two will be needing sound proofing." Tomura pointed a thumb at me and Delilah. "Young and brand new to dating is going to lead to a lot of...extra noise."

"Tomura?!" I yelled as Kai and Delilah both began laughing.

"I second that!" Delilah declared.

"Delilah…!" I whined as Kai kept laughing like mad.

"And now that the mood is better." Tomura nodded.

After my fluster was over and Kurogiri made us our rooms, I couldn't help but worry about Katzuki.

"When is the nearest holiday she can visit us?" I asked Delilah who at the moment was just setting up the bed.

"Well, it would probably be Saint Patrick's day cause...well why the hell would you want to do paperwork when the day is about getting black out drunk?" Delilah shrugged.

"I wonder if that does count?" I thought aloud.

"Everyone needs a couple days to just drink, party, and get over the hangover." Tomura shrugged.

"Hey Tomura. How are you holding up?" I asked as Tomura walked in and sat at my desk.

"As best as I can…" Tomura sighed out. "Just...when we get to dungeon stuff...don't be too concerned when the monsters start screaming…"

"... Say what now?"

"Remember my quirk?" Tomura asked, bringing up one of his gloves hands. "I'm going to be taking my gloves off when we get to dealing with the dungeons...and last time I checked, disintegration is painful."

"Oh! So you're going to be using your quirk in combat then? That's good, it is an impressive power."

"Not when it's literally anything I physically touch." Tomura shook his head. "It may be impressive, but it's...also extraordinarily dangerous…"

I nodded. That is true. "Hey, so what is a Void Admin exactly? Why are they different from normal admins?"

"The Void is...something really complicated and convoluted, but last time I checked, it's because the Void had people that could devour entire dimensions without much being able to stop them." Tomura shrugged. "And also the fact the Void is extremely volatile and can cause some...unwanted changes to a person if used too much."

"Oh…" I said.

The next day training began, Kai, Tomura, Delilah and I were all outside Kurogiri's dungeon. The Void Admin himself stood before us in front of the doors. "Typically I keep my dungeon at a level three, but since you all are mostly green and my Void makes these far stronger, I've decided it to a level one. This floor is built to see where you each are in terms of skill from powers to physical strengths. Your goal is just get to the end of the floor as a team."

"Fair enough." Tomura nodded. "Well, let's get this party started."

"Can't wait to see how I fair in a dungeon." Delilah said as she put on...clawed gauntlets? When did she get those?

"Now, as this is a Void Dungeon, I managed to weaken the enemies but the void energy within all of them will still make even a basic Shadow Creature a challenge." Kurogiri added. "And I'm not weakening them any further. If I did then I'm insulting what it means to be a dungeon master."

"That's fine." Tomura said as he cracked his knuckles.

"Wouldn't want to make things too easy on us." Delilah shrugged.

"Good. Now that all that has been said, get to it." Kurogiri said, snapping their fingers as the doors to their dungeon opened. We ran inside and the first thing we came across was a single Shadow Creature. Tomura ran up, trying to grab it to decay it but it jumped and slashed his head.

We had formed a party just after breakfast. I watched in shock as Tomura's HP went from full health to just a sliver and in the red.

Kai used his quirk to built a fast wall between us and the overpowered thing. "Fucking hell I knew Void Dungeons were tough but that's bullshit."

Tomura rapidly drank a healing potion, his HP going back into the green.

"Well...that sucked." Tomura grumbled. "Didn't think it would be that fast…"

"Or hit that hard." Kai said.

"In a one on one we definitely don't stand a chance." I said. "We need to deal with it like a team. If we circle it, then it can't dodge and if it turns to attack one of us then it's left open to attack from the other three."

"Sounds like a plan." Delilah nodded.

"As long as I can wring its neck I'm good." Tomura nodded.

We got to work on the plan, Kai dropping the wall as we each tried to circle the thing. It spun around, trying to lash out at one of us. When it did the other three went in for a hit. It's HP didn't drop by much but it didn't have a large HP pool anyway.

Three more times and it was finally killed- wait what the?

The last time I killed a Shadow Creature it dropped about five rem or so… why did this one drop two hundred?

"Well...that's quite a bit of rem for one enemy." Tomura said honestly. "But it is a Void Shadow Creature...so makes sense."

"Still though, this is a level one dungeon, but being Void Tainted it feels more like a level three or even four." He sighed. "Honestly it's worrying to think about what a level five void dungeon is like."

"I guess when that time comes we'll deal with it." I said. Between the four of us the two hundred was split into fifty rem each before we headed out. The next room was a puzzle. One where we had to enter a combination into the door and we only knew the first number.

"Huh, not expecting this." Kai said as he looked the lock over.

"So we only know one number, and...what, we have to guess?" Tomura frowned, looking around the room to see if there was any clues as to how to solve this puzzle.

I looked at the number, and the lock. The combination lock here had four enteries. Hmm. "Maybe it's a math problem?" I suggested.

"How so?" Tomura inquired.

"How would math be involved?" Delilah asked me curiously.

"Well, the first number is twenty four, and there are four tumblers. I'm mostly just guessing though."

"It's the only thing we've got at the moment." Tomura said. "Might as well."

Let's see… the number we have is twenty four, and four slots for numbers. Maybe multiply by four… or add? "I hate when there's no hint…" Kai huffed.

"Maybe it's four numbers that all cross over twenty four?" I thought aloud.

"So 8,3,4, and 6?" Tomura asked.

I put them in, and the door opened. "Wait that was it?!" I said in surprise.

"I hate math puzzles…." Kai groaned.

"God damn it…" Tomura grumbled. "Alright, so simple puzzle solved, let's get going."

The next room was more parkour based and here Delilah and Kai shined. Kai using his quirk to launch himself up and around and Delilah's natural dexterity and agility.

Tomura and I managed though far slower.

The room after that seems to be one Tomura is taking seriously. "It's… two chests?" I said. We entered this room there was two chests next to one another and Tomura immediately went into some kind of detective mode.

"One or both of these might be a mimic." Tomura frowned. "Or a trap…" Tomura muttered as he looked over both chests with extreme care and precision.

"Aren't mimics more common in the lower levels, or you know, a level two or higher?" Kai said.

"Firstly, we're in a Void Dungeon, so anything's possible." Tomura said. "And second, never believe a chest isn't a mimic or trapped, cause you'd die to either if you just immediately try to open it." Tomura explained.

"Are mimics that strong?" I asked.

"Actually yeah… they're a real bitch to deal with. Especially the big ones…" Kai sighed.

"They also ambush based monsters." Tomura said as he tossed a rock at both of the chests after taking a step away from them. "When you're trying to open up a chest, you're wide open to suddenly be grabbed and shoved into it's mouth and devoured."

Nothing seemed to happen, which he growled at. "Why don't I use telekinesis to keep it in the air. If I open it like that and it's a mimic you three can kill it." I offered.

"Huh… that can work." Kai said.

"That...would work." Tomura nodded in agreement. "Go right ahead Izuku, let's hope neither of them are a mimic."

Nodding, I levitated the chest on the right up. I opened the lid some and it opened itself wide, a fleshy maw of teeth and drool greeted us when it opened. A long, thick snake like tongue exited the maw and lashed around like the tendril of a squid. "That's… so nasty…" I shuttered.

"That's a mimic for yeah." Tomura said honestly, looking over the mimic as close as he could without getting in range of it's gross tongue. "Now what's the differences to show your a mimic asshole…"

"I think this one doesn't show that…" Kai said, touching the ground and his quirk sent a spike of stone through the mimic. It didn't die but was now stuck.

Tomura huffed, touching it's head and the body turned to ash in about a minute.

I levitated the other one and opened it. Inside was a longsword, the hilt and handle was a purple color with some design of three triangles on it. Tomura grabbed it immediately.

"This sword is mine, there are many like it but the Master Sword is mine." Tomura said happily.

"Nerd!" Kai called out.

"Don't you collect monsters to taxidermy?" I asked.

"They are trophies and there is a difference." Kai said.

"It's really not." Delilah said honestly.

The mimic dropped a thousand rem. Dividend evenly we each got two hundred and fifty, giving us each three hundred total.

The next and final room looked like a boss room. Standing in the center of it was… Some guy with two bandage covered katanas and was wearing only pants and a boar head for a mask. "Took your time getting here." They huffed. Their voice was gravely and deep.

"Ah fuck…" Tomura groaned.

"I didn't think Inosuke would be the first boss…" Delilah said nervously.

"Who?" I asked.

"Let's just say he's really strong…" Kai groaned.

"Damn right." The boar head guy, Inosuke said as he brought up his swords. Each blade was chipped to have teeth along their length. "Kurogiri called in a favor, and frankly I enjoy crushing newbies. Even got a few of my friends from the adventures guild to join in on this. So, this is how it's gonna work. You four are gonna fight me. Manage to kill me and you'll each earn ten skill points."

"This is gonna be a nightmare…" Tomrua said as he put his gloves back on and pulled out his gun. "But, let's start things off." He said as he raised his pistol and fired it at the boar headed guy.

In a flash, Inosuke's blades deflected the bullet, and in another he was in front of Tomura, cleaving through his gun, and hand, before kicking him back into the wall behind us. I stood in shock as I saw his HP go red, then empty. "Come on! I said fight!" He yelled, turning to face Kai.

Delilah appeared behind Inosuke and tried to claw at his back with those strange claw gauntlets of hers.

To all our surprise, he spun a complete one eighty degrees from his torso and clashed with her gauntlets. "Nice try!" He yelled, headbutting Delilah away. Her HP went into Yellow and a small icon pf a cracked bone was next to it. He broke her skull! With his own head?!

"Can shumbody get me the number of that prick…" Dellilah asked, delirious from the headbutt. "Thanks...check please…" She fell over right after that and clutching her head in pain.

Kai and I both got close, Inosuke walking over to us. "Fuck this guy is tough. I have an idea but it might take a minute to get ready, think you can distract him long enough?" Kai asked me.

"I… I'll try." I said, stepping ahead of Kai who put both hands to the ground.

"So, impressed by my strength yet?" Inosuke asked.

Is he trying to boast? How prideful can he… wait, that's it! "Y-yeah. Very strong."

He laughed. "Damn right I am!"

"Yeah. Strong enough that I bet… you could do like, a hundred pushups?"

He laughed again. "A hundred, please! I can do a thousand easy!" To my shock he actually dropped down and started doing push ups… he, he fell for that?!

"Izuku, spark fire to the ground, now!" Kai said.

Rapidly I cast a fireball at the ground. To my shock the whole ground before me and under Inosuke exploded. "What did you do?" I asked.

"Turned the upper layer of the ground into gunpowder." Kai said.

Delilah walked over to us rather dazily.

"My head hurts…" I grumbled. "And poor Tomura...he's not gonna get any experience from this…"

"Here." I said, giving Delilah a hi potion.

She drank it rapidly and before we got some peace a flaming sword shot out, hitting Kai in the neck. His HP dropped to zero immediately. "That was dirty… I like it!" Inosuke yelled, jumping from the fire, burned and his boar mask on fire. "Do that again!"

"You just...one shot Kai…" Delilah said worriedly. "Uh...okay...I bet you can't break that wall by ramming your head into it." Delilah said as she pointed at a nearby wall, ready to use his own pride against him just like me.

"I bet I can! And I'll do it through your rib cages!" He yelled, charging at us.

Delilah pushed me aside and jumped up and over Inosuke. When she landed and I got back up he was stopping and trying to turn when suddenly Delilah, being out of sight, vanished as she used her ability to appear right behind him and try to dig her claw gauntlets into his neck.

In retaliation, Inosuke lifted his other sword, but using levitation I pulled it out of his grip and tossed it aside.

"That's enough out of you boar head!" Delilah shouted as she managed to get her claws into the guys neck

With a gurgling should, Inosuke yelled, "Fuck off!" He said, trying to pry her hands off him.

I rushed in. This spell was still new for me, but it's here or now. I got close, putting a palm to Inosuke's stomach. "Frost!"

A blast of cold hit his gut, freezing his torso to ice. Delilah acted fast and spun around and kicked the frozen body part. Frozen bits of gore shit out as he hit the ground. "Damn. Didn't think I'd lose first fight."

With that his HP hit Zero and the arena reset.

"Well...that was...a lot harder than I thought…" Delilah panted heavily.

"Yeah… I hope Kai and Tomura will be okay." I said, taking a deep breath, happy that was all over.

"Well, it's not perma death thankfully, they probably respawned back in their rooms." Delilah mentioned.

"I know, still, those deaths looked… painful."

"Sadly that's...one thing that will remain constant." Delilah sighed out. "Now...there should be a treasure chest for our victory…"

In the center of the floor was said chest. We walked over, kicking it open as inside was four thousand rem, a Ring of Storms, and forty Skill Points.

I looked up the Ring of Storms. It boosted water, sound and lightning magic by ten percent. Wind and ice magic by nine percent and gave a slight boost to mana by five percent of the wearer. "Useful." I said, putting it on.

"So all the skill points should either be split among the entire party or all surviving members…" Delilah started, checking her assistant to see how many Skill points was earned.

I checked. We both had ten. So it was split evenly. I unlocked Advanced Scan, so I could gather all the more information when in a fight or in general five left. Hmm. "Can we just unlock whatever random abilities as long as we have the points required?"

"Pretty much." Delilah shrugged. "You can even use your skill points to increase your stats if you don't know what skills to grab." She said, tapping her Assistant in what I could guess was to put in her skill points. "One per normal Skill, two per Rare Skill."

"Hmm…" I was looking around and spotted one Skill orb. It was blank, meaning hidden and was oddly not connected to any branches. "Hey, you ever see one like this? It's blank and isn't connected to any branches."

"Mind if I see?" Delilah inquired. I nodded and showed her the random blank orb and her eyes widened. "Oh...Izuku you lucky bastard."

"What?"

"You have a legendary ability." Delilah told me. "I don't know which one, Legendary abilities are fickle and have a tendency to just 'pop up' out of nowhere, but that orb there shows you have one, it's just not…'activated' yet." She explained to me. "And as an example, look at my skill tree." She said, showing me her skill tree and her 'Schrodinger's Cat' ability was indeed by itself outside of her normal skill tree.

"Huh. I wonder what it is? Or how it even activates?" I said, deciding to put my last five points into boosting intelligence for my magic.

"No one knows." She shrugged. "One thing that Mother did was make sure Legendary abilities were absolutely random, either on how you obtain them or what one you'll get if you are able to gain one." She said honestly. "Keeps ability hunters on their toes from both their...work…" Delilah growled. "And the authorities hunting them down for doing a whole host of illegal shit."

"Huh. Well, shall we go?" I asked as the doorway out began opening.

Delilah, gave me a smile that made me nervous. She took my hand then suddenly we were in our room after I blinked. I tensed up. Delilah dropped us on the bed and held me… rather close against her. Even wrapping her tail around my leg. "Uh- Delilah?" I asked, face red given how… close… her… chest is.

"Right now we're going to celebrate." Delilah purred.

"C-celebrate how?" I gulped.

"Either through victory cuddles, or...something more fun." She purred seductively, feeling her tail trail to...sensitive areas!

"D-Delilah!" I stuttered.

"Do you want cuddles or fun?" She asked softly as she pushed closer to me...her breasts are so soft…

"I- Uh…"

We didn't, well, do anything but Delilah did tease me all night with… herself.

By the next morning my face was probably permanently in blush. "You got cat hair on your shirt." Kai said, chuckling.

"I… well, yeah…" Was all I could say.

"Izuku is a wonderful cuddle buddy." Delilah giggled.

"I think you broke him. Did you cuddle him naked girl?" Kai asked as he poked me.

"I just gave him cuddles and teased the shit out of him." Delilah said honestly.

"So yes." Tomura chuckled. "So yeah...that dungeon run sucked a bit."

"That was just a trial run to test you all." Kurogiri said as he entered the living room. "So far, I am quite surprised with the results. You all did fairly well, and while Kai had a hard start, using his quirk to change the floor of the boss room into gun powder was quite resourceful. In order to best strengthen your weaknesses I've redesigned the dungeon to train you."

"Cool, so what are we gonna do? Speed training, strength training?"

"For you, an education. That math puzzle was basic and you didn't have a clue."

"Oh for the love of!" Kai groaned.

"To be fair, we had literally no idea what the puzzle was supposed to be about until Izuku brought it up." Tomura pointed out. "And how the hell did you get Inosuke to owe you a favor?"

"He owed me from when he was a rookie." Kurogiri said. "So, shall we get to it?"

"Sure." I said, trying to focus on… other stuff.

"No…" Kai groaned.

---

No…

"Yay~" Delilah said as… why am I going through this!

What my training session was… is agility training, through gymnastics.

"Just hurry up and get those stretches done." Our teacher, a… humanoid blue bird lady said.

Delilah showed how...very flexible she was during her stretches, and she kept waggling her eyebrows at me when she did something more...why must she torture me like this? "So who are you if I may ask?" She asked the bird lady.

"Gina. Full time gymnastics instructor, part time dungeon boss." She said simply. "When Kurogiri said he needed help on the favor he owned Katzuki I figured I'd help out."

"But, I mean, I get why is Delilah here?" I asked. "She's… naturally flexible…"

"Because you." She poked my chest with a feathered finger. "You're too easily embarrassed around her. In a fight you can't go getting a bloody nose while in a fight because her shirt get's torn or she lands her ass on your crotch."

I blushed, but Delilah was smiling.

"She's right you know." Delilah shrugged. "In a fight it's dangerous, even if your really cute when you're embarrassed."

"So… the gymnastics… and these tights?" I asked.

"Get you used to both seeing her figure as close to naked as possible and while you both practice you will be in a lot of physical contact." Gina said.

"W-well… I guess so…"

"Between these classes and the locker room you'll be used to being with Delilah both clothed and naked."

"I'm sorry, say what?!"

"Yes. You two will be dressing, bathing and practicing together. I hear you two already share a bed so I don't need to worry about that."

"Yay!" Delilah cheered happily. "Plus, this will help against any Succubi or other lewd based enemies we might encounter Izuku." She said which...I legitimately forgot could happen.

"Unless they emit pheromones." Gina stated. "Now then, keep up with those stretches!"

The gymnastics training lasted six hours. I was sore and barely able to move… Delilah had to… help… with… clothes… bathing… and of course… she made sure to show herself off to me…

By the time I was in bed I was so lost in… memory I barely registered her pressing against my back with her chest.

"That was fun." Delilah purred happily.

"I… had no idea your fur trailed from your head to spine to your tail like that." I muttered. "Or how… " I trailed off.

"You can tell me anything." She said softly, feeling her arms wrap around me gently.

"I'd, uh, rather not." I gulped, shaking my head. "Are you sore from the training at all?"

"A little, it was a bit tough, even for my natural flexibility and dexterity." She said honestly.

"Okay. Wonder what Tomura's training is? I know Kai is basically getting math lessons but I am wondering what Tomura has to work on."

"Target practice or martial arts." Delilah guessed. "Either he get better at using a gun or he get better at hitting things with his hands."

"Probably. So… are you just gonna keep pressing against me since I can't move?"

"I could do more if you want." Delilah said honestly.

"I think I'll just sleep for now…" I said, taking as deep breath as I let my tired body get some sleep

The next morning I woke up and ate a high protein breakfast to help with my muscle development. I was still sore but much less so.

Back in the gymnastics room Delilah and I tried some basic jumps and runs. "So far so good, but Izuku, keep your body limber while in the air or you risk not being able to dodge or land while falling."

"Okay." I sighed.

"By the way, do you know what Tomura's training is?" Delilah inquired to Gina.

"Well, despite his frame he is stronger than he looks physically, and he is already plenty flexible. His training is focusing on strengthening his quirk and utilizing it in combat for both hand to hand and in mid ranged combat."

"He can do that? Use his quirk in range?"

"Kurogiri seems to think so." Gina shrugged.

"And what, will he be able to turn his disintegration quirk into an aura around him or something?" Delilah asked curiously.

"Not sure. He's training with a Quirk Ability expert now."

"Neat." Delilah nodded. "Wonder how he's holding up on it?"

"You'll see him back home." Gina said.

After the jumping training Gina had Delilah and I take some breathing exercises and finish off with some more basic stretches before we finished. When we got to the locker room though for showers… there was no shower… just… a… small… tub. "Where is the showers?" I asked.

"Part of your training. Now both of you, strip and get in the tub!" Gina yelled from the door, closing it and locking it.

"Didn't expect the bathtub so soon." Delilah said honestly as she immediately started to strip. "Gonna start the water or strip first?"

"Uh…" I looked up. "Well, water first."

"Water's not gonna start itself if you stand there." Delilah said while continuing to take her clothes off...this time slower and a whole lot more sensually.

I gulped, walking over and starting the water.

After the tub was full and a good temperature Delilah… removed the last of her… clothes and walked in. With a blush and a sigh I began to… also, undress. Once that was done I got in and… ah!

I opened my eyes, seeing and feeling Delilah sit right next to me. "Uh… hi." I said weakly.

"Hi." Delilah smiled. "How you doing?" She asked casually.

"Uh, heh." I sighed. "Just not used to a unisex bath…"

"Doesn't Japan have plenty of unisex baths?" Delilah inquired curiously. "Or is that just a silly anime trope?"

"Well, there are but they're mostly for adults… I mean, I guess technically I was in one with mom when I was really little but I don't remember much of that."

"That's fair." Delilah nodded in understanding. "So...anything you want to talk about?"

"Well… what are your hobbies like?"

"Well…" Delilah thought for a moment, scratching her chin as she thought about her hobbies. "I like collecting cards."

"What kind?" I asked, hoping a simple conversation can… keep me distracted. "I used to collect Hero cards back home."

"Honestly all sorts of cards." She said honestly. "From trading cards, to collectable cards, anything really."

"Huh. What have you got so far? Also… wait do cards also count as weapons here? I remember a hero back home who could manipulate cards and basically turn them into walls, projectiles and armor."

"Oh yeah, you don't even need a quirk either." She said honestly. "There's an entire class of weapon's based on those 'magic cards' as it were, the strongest being an extremely ancient pair called Fair Game, but until now it's mostly just been rumors and hearsay on if it exists in the prize pool, if anyone has it in their possession, or anything else." She explained. "You'll find replicas of it, especially from Gambler Nobodies in the realm, but the original is a Card Collectors wet dream on a hundred pounds of the strongest aphrodisiac in existence."

"That's a…. Metaphor?" I said. "What about like this one old show I saw once, Yu Gi Oh I think? Anything like that?"

"Yep." She nodded. "There's the normal cardboard variant, and then there's the cards that literally summon the monsters or use the spells." She said honestly. "Same for Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Dual Masters and a lot of other...actually good card games."

"Huh. What about board games? My mom once showed me this classic movie from way before Quirks, was made in America. What was it called? Ju… Ja… something…"

"Jumanji?" She inquired. "And yeah, Jumanji is a really good classic movie."

"That's it. Gave me nightmares about elephants and plants for a week though."

"The elephants and plants made you scared, but not the big spiders crawling everywhere?" Delilah inquired.

"My neighbor has a spider head as part of their mutant quirk. It didn't really phase me. Especially given she babysat me for the better part of ten years."

"Interesting." She said honestly. "The only other person like that off the top of my head is Fang from Teen Titans, only instead of just a spider head they had...the entire spider as their head, giant legs and all."

"Huh. I imagine Tomura would know a lot about that too- Delilah!" I yelped as she… well, her hand is… ah!

"Just relax." Delilah cooed, her hands working like magic.

"Uh… okay…"

---

The next morning Tomura and Kai were both in awe and laughing at me. Somehow, I unlocked that Legendary Ability… Copy Cat. I can copy a person's abilities that aren't Legendary and their race even… so now, I'm part Cat, Like Delilah…

"That's priceless!" Kai coughed out while laughing on the floor. "Popped your cherry and gained a Legendary Ability!"

"I...really didn't expect the legendary part to appear because of...that…" Delilah said sheepishly.

"I can't believe Izuku got laid… and I still haven't." Tomura huffed.

"I uh, well… heh, this can't be the weirdest way someone has gotten a Legendary Ability, right?"

"I'm sure there's weirder." Tomura said honestly. "I mean...someone got a legendary skill from slipping on a banana peel, bastard got the Legendary Skill Frictionless if what the news said was true given it happened in broad daylight for a whole host of people to see."

"Huh… wait, what's Frictionless?" I asked.

"As the name says." Kai said, finally stopping his laughter. "While having any movement in combat no friction from physical and some ranged attacks. Meaning you can't hit them physically."

"Which in most cases would make them an absolute pain in the ass to fight." Tomura said honestly. "But that's what most Legendary Abilities do."

"Fair… so I copied Delilah's race and… what else?" I checked my Assistant, finding under a new Racial Abilities, Etherian Feline Beastials.

[Heightened Agility: Your Flexibility and speed is on par with that of a feral cat.

Heightened Senses: Your hearing and scenes scent are now on par with a feral cat.

Night Vision: in the dark your vision is now as good as in the daytime.

Clawed Nails: Your fingernails now are as tough and sharp as a feral cat's.

Loyal Connections: When you are loyal to an ally, your stats in combat will gain a temporary boost for one hour by ten percent.]

"Oh wow." I said.

"What do you see?" Delilah asked curiously.

"Your racial abilities are really useful. Though, am I stuck being part cat now?" I asked, my… new tail flicking about.

"Hmm… look at your Profiles page." Kai suggested.

I nodded, heading to settings, Profiles… three new profiles. Human Male… human Female? Etherian Feline Beastial Male, Etherian Feline Beastial Female?! "I have three new ones. One more for human… being a girl and both male and female for my cat race… why?"

"When copying, Copy Cat is said to give you Race Profiles you can switch between to make the best use out of Racial Abilities. Though I didn't know about the gender part."

"Maybe because he copied me? A female etherian feline?" Delilah suggested.

"Probably. I know Copy Cat can basically copy anything about a person if they copy their race, getting their racial abilities. But for other certain abilities it has to be seen first hand." Kai said.

"I have to see certain abilities at work to copy them?"

"Yeah. Basically the only abilities you copy by just looking at a person are racial ones… and gender apparently. But abilities like our quirks or combat ones."

"I can… copy your quirks?" I asked, surprised.

Kai nodded. "All Abilities not Legendary."

"Which is really good when fighting things you can't normally scan, cause unless their a shapeshifter, nothing really has an immunity to Copy Cat...or any legendary ability besides some Fifth level Dungeons." Delilah said.

"Huh. That's really cool. So wait, does that include basic dungeon monsters?" I asked.

"I believe so. I think only like ten people in all of creation have gone public with having Copy Cat so I wouldn't know for sure given they don't typically give out information like that." Kai shrugged.

"Not many go public with Legendary Abilities to begin with considering...why we're here." Delilah sighed out.

"But, Izuku being able to change race, and genders means it will be harder to locate him in public."

"How come?" I asked.

"Well, Profiles are basically like having a new identity all together. You can even go as far as to have an independent stats and Ability set for each profile on top of having them be a different race or gender. It's part of how Nexus and Chaos Guild members hide so well to begin with."

"It was originally supposed to be a good, positive thing, where if your life is becoming too dull through the ages, you can 'restart' as someone new and enjoy new things and a new life...but sadly some people just have to abuse good faith." Delillah shook her head in disappointment.

"That being said though it's still a double edged sword. Meaning if we get and make new profiles to be someone else we can travel without too much worry." Kai said. "Izuku can now do this naturally, we'll just have to collect the money to make them." Kai sighed.

"So besides the money problem, what's the double edged sword part of this?" Delilah tilted her head.

"I think he means that while Nexus used profiles to hide in plain sight, we can abuse that same method to hide from them." I stated.

"Basically." Kai said.

"Alright." Delilah nodded simply.

With that done we got back to training.

We told Gina about my new Ability. "Impressive. This can definitely help with your training." She said. I nodded. "Now shift your gender."

"Wait what?!" I yelped. "Why?!"

"Just because you finally did it with Delilah doesn't mean you won't mess up again. Having a ladies body can help you get used to Delilah and any other female companion you might pick up along the way."

"And I'm planning on getting him plenty of other female 'companion's'." Delilah giggled.

"Wait what?!" I said, spinning to Delilah. "What do you mean by that exactly?"

"Exactly what you think." Delilah said simply. "Either through just having more party members, or getting you more girlfriends, I'll be there to help you through it my shy little hero." Delilah said with a warm smile. "Also, if your also wondering, harems are legal, and rather commonplace to be honest."

"... What?!"

---

A week had passed since I got Copy Cat. So far I copied Tomura and Kai's quirks, Gina's race and Racial Abilities, and even Kurogiri's Quirk. Unlike with Tomura though I can turn it on and off with basically a thought. He was grumpy about that for a while.

Kai's quirks was hard to figure out. I had to know the atomic structures of both what I'm disassembling and what I want to reassemble it as.

Kurogiri's Quirk was surprisingly simple. I just needed a mental image of where I wanted to be and the portal opens up.

"I still can't believe you can just turn my quirk on and off…" Tomura grumbled.

"I don't get it either." I said. "Maybe since so many quirks or powers have an 'always on' feature maybe Copy Cat just copies them all but adds a switch?"

"That's probably it. It's not a legendary ability for nothing." Kai stated.

"Cause why not…" Tomura sighed out, his shoulders sagging a bit. "So, when do you think our next dungeon run will be?"

"Maybe soon. We've all made good- Delilah!" I yelped. Since my Copy Cat ability has me gain the ability to swap races and gender… Gina, as part of my training, keeps me as a female for the majority of the day. It was embarrassing, awkward and both raised and answered a lot of questions but after a while I would forget I was one gender or the other… until Delilah would remind me. Like right now… when she squeezed my… chest, from behind.

"I still can't believe how big you are Izuku." Delilah said, giving my chest a happy squeeze.

"I can't believe you forget to change back." Kai said.

I sighed, pulling up my assistant and setting myself back to hang male. In a flash I was back to normal and Delilah gave a pout but settled for laying herself across my lap. I sighed. "As I was saying, we all have made good progress so with luck we can explore the dungeon properly."

"Yeah, good dungeon exploration…" Tomura trailed off, looking at both of his hands. "Let's just hope it goes better than last time." He shrugged.

When Kurogiri showed up we all went outside the dungeon again. "Now then, who here can tell me the types of dungeons you will come across."

"Tower, Arena, Mixed and Custom." Tomura answered simply.

"Yes. Towers are the classic form of dungeon, going up, down or both and consisting of many, many floors. Arena can be exactly as they say, arenas where you fight in many rounds against waves of enemies for prizes, or can be like baren empty villages, cities and towns filled with wandering enemies, bosses and loot. Mixed are a blend of the two. Maybe a arena dungeon has a tower dungeon within it or the tower dungeon has floors that are like Arenas. Custom are admin owned dungeons like mine. We can make them and modify them however we see fit.

"Today I will start you all off in a simple, ten floor tower dungeon. Hidden within it are several secret rooms and optional bosses. All you need to do is clear it, the rest is completely optional. I've based it off of a cave and the amount of monsters is minimum given your struggles with the shadow creature before since my dungeon is void tainted. Each floor has a map, and the key to the boss room is hidden in either a cheat, on a monster or behind a puzzle. All the loot is mostly random, as per usual but I did place a few specific prizes behind puzzles or within secret rooms. Do as you wish, and good luck."

"Sounds simple enough." Tomura nodded.

With a nod we all headed in.

The first floor was a cave. Early lit and smelled of moss and minerals. Kai pulled a flashlight from his Assistant and we were able to see a path. "Alright, so far so normal. Wish there was more light but I expected this…" He sighed.

"Let's just be on our guard, who knows what'll be in this cave." Tomura said simply, preparing for anything that might appear.

I brought up my assistant, switching to Delilah's race and she and I now saw the cave in much clearer vision. "Come on, Delilah and I can keep an eye out for enemies." I said as she and I led the way.

"Thank you natural night vision." Delilah said happily.

"Wonder if we'll be finding kobolds or goblins here?" Tomura wondered.

"I'm betting more on bats and spiders." Kai said.

"Is it weird that Mole People comes to mind?" I asked.

"I heard they're a lot nicer than some stories would have you believe." Delilah replied to me.

As we walked Delilah and I stopped Kai and Tomura. Scan told me this was an Armored Tunneler. Half suit of armor, half mechanical drill with high evasion and resistant to fire, poison and lightning attacks. Weak to Ice and Water though. HP 700. "Armored Tunneler." I said. "Twenty feet ahead or so."

"Tough normally considering all their resistances and defense." Tomura mentioned. "But if I can get close enough, I can deal with it rather quickly."

"It's evasion will be hard to deal with though… unless. You said about twenty feet away, right?" Kai asked me.

"Yeah."

He cracked his knuckles, putting his hands to the ground. His quirk went off and the ground turned a pure chrome color. "Now run Tomura!"

Nodding, Tomura rushed, the Armored Tunneler unable to tunnel through the chrome ground and with it stuck Tomura managed to grab it and it rusted then disinterested instantly.

He got 290 rem and a steel pick axe.

"That was cool." I said

"Yeah…" Tomura said absently. "I've learned how to decay things a lot faster now, and I don't need all my fingers touching something anymore."

"Impressive bro." Kai said. "Those math lessons I had to take extended to chemistry and such. I can make iron, steel and bronze now out of dirt and some other stuff."

"Neat." Delilah nodded. "So when in doubt, we can get plenty of money or materials with you around."

"... I actually didn't think about that." Kai said.

Tomura facepalmed. "So anyways, let's continue forward."

With a nod we continued on. The first room was empty but has a puzzle. It was a large circle with various symbols on it. "I wonder how this one goes?" I asked, moving the circle around. It had four rings within it. Each one with symbols on them too.

"It might be a 'line up' puzzle." Tomura brought up, looking at the circles carefully.

"So align the patterns or spell… whatever these symbols mean?" Kai asked.

"Probably." I said.

"Now, let's see what these symbols are…" Tomura muttered, looking over each symbol carefully.

"There's probably something to help solve it in here…" Delilah started as she searched the room for any clues as to what might help solve this puzzle.

After a bit of searching Delilah and I found three symbols scratched out in a line along a wall behind a rock. Putting them in from smallest ring to largest left only the outer most ring to figure out. A little bit of spinning later we got the proper order and a part of the wall of the room opened up, revealing a treasure chest. Inside was two thousand rem and… shotgun ammo?

"Money and bullets in a box would normally not be a good thing." Kai said.

"But this isn't a normal thing." Tomura said as he put on a gloved hand and picked up one of the shotgun slugs. "Now what brand of shotgun are you from?"

Once the rem and bullets were put away we messed with the symboles some more. We did discover two more combinations. The second gave us the floor map and the third gave us a Riot Shotgun, as Tomura called it. He was happy to see it

"And this is mine for when I can't smack something with my bare hands." Tomura smiled.

"Sometimes all you need is a big gun." Delilah chuckled.

"Huh, I've seen some of the police back home with pistols but I've never seen a shotgun before." I said, looking over the large firearm. It was black and chrome and looked completely new.

"Japan has some strict gun laws, and shotguns, especially riot ones, are rather...powerful." Tomura explained. "Shotguns in general are powerful to be honest." Tomura said as he started to load the shotgun carefully.

"I remember. Ironic gun laws stayed just about the same but there were nearly the same for quirks, of course some heroes were allowed then because of how their quirk worked." Kai said.

"And then there's those that are quite literally guns." Tomura mentioned...wait what?

"What?" I asked. "I don't remember much about Quirks being Firearms." Coming from me, that's saying something. Then again I did focus mostly on Japan based heroes.

"It's from Digimon with Deputymon, and then specifically the main character from 'No Guns Life', where he quite literally has a fully functional revolver for a head." Delilah brought up. "There's probably others, given that some people have quite literally turned guns into people...it gets really weird."

"Huh… weird." I said. As we walked to the next hallway. There Tomura got to test his gun against a Void Shadow Creature. It could fire five times before needing a reload and he shot off all five before it died. "Wow, even with a gun they take a lot to kill."

"Yeah, Void tainted anything is a pain in the ass." Tomura nodded. "So, you see why normal people don't use a shotgun?"

"Because they can use magic, epic swords and super powers instead?" Kai offered.

"And yet one of the more well known pro heroes uses a gun." Tomura pointed out.

"Along with nuclear bullets." Kai added.

"Wait what? Nuclear bullets?"

"Yeah, people decided to make nukes the size of bullets." Tomura said. "It was the obvious progression after you make nuclear rocket launchers."

"Nuclear grenades." Kai added. "Armor, ray guns, cannons, robots, weaponized satellites, beer."

"Nuclear… beer?" I asked.

"Don't ask…" Tomura shook his head.

We continued on, finding a… a… what… is… that?

It looked like a knight, had glowing yellow eyes and a red and black heart on it's torso. "What is that?"

"Wow, a Heartless." Tomura whistled. "Haven't seen one of those in forever."

"A basic Soldier heartless as well." Delilah added. "Oh uh...have you heard of Kingdom Hearts?"

I shook my head.

"Remember Katzuki's weapon?" Kai asked. I nodded. "It's called a Keyblade. Each is fairly unique, but the ones the Time Walkers Use, The Gazing Eyes, and No Name, are some of the more powerful ones. Anyone can get a Keyblade and collect the variations, save for No Name, Gazing Eye, and the X-blade. You can get some good replica ones, but not the original ones."

"Mostly because Gazing Eye and No Name are exclusive to Time Walkers because of their time based powers, and the X-blade...well rumors are their exclusive to The Family because the X-Blade is...well a God Weapon half the time."

"Huh." I said. "But what does that have to do about the Heartless there?"

"Well, typically Heartless are more easily slain with Keyblades. You can kill them without them but it's a lot harder." Kai said.

"And sadly none of us actually have one." Tomura sighed out. "But all I know is that they can still decay like everything else."

"Huh. Strange. So how do we deal with it then?" I brought up, looking at the thing walking in a circle.

"Magic is a good weapon against them when a Keyblade is absent." Kai offered.

"So looks like Izuku is good for this situation as well since he has a lot of magic." Tomura mentioned.

Nodding I can various Fire and ice spells at the creature. It took more hits than I would have liked but it finally died in a puff of darkness. It dropped several potions, gold in the shape of diamonds both large and small and some weird gems.

Tomura said these are ingredients in crafting various items.

"Did you copy the Soldier before it died?" Delilah asked me.

"Uh, let me see." I checked my assistant.

[New Race Uploaded, Monster Class: Heartless - Soldier.

Attack Abilities:

Claw Attack

Two-Stage Claw

Spin Kick

Kick Shower]

"I'll take that as a yes." Tomura saidnestly..

"Yeah. Got some attack abilities and a Monster Class Profile."

"Neat, so in certain areas you can go out and not get harassed by monsters, and even go to certain monster based towns." Tomura brought up.

"That's pretty cool actually." I said as we continued on. The next room had two basic Shadow Creatures but we easily dealt with them and moved onto the puzzle that was here.

This puzzle was pattern based. We had to basically guess what the pattern was and when we got a part wrong we had to dodge arrows. Thankfully they don't deal all that much damage.

"Really hate how we have to deal with a random chance puzzle." Tomura grumbled.

"Well, how would you hide treasures in a dungeon? Aside from a miniboss?" Kai asked as the final pattern was matched. The wall the puzzle was on went down and behind it was a large metallic chest. Opening it, inside was more shotgun bullets, special feline beastial gloves, Delilah took those, and a red sword that gave off a black aura that moved like fire. "Wow, this is a classic. A Shadow Slayer Sword."

"A classic?" I asked, looking the weapon over. It definitely looked like it belonged in a fantasy videogame or anime.

"It's an old but powerful weapon that's for sure." Tomura nodded in agreement.

"Basically back well before The Family, Mother and a lot of other nasties, Shadow Creatures were the only real threat in existence. This sword was built specifically to kill them. It's been a classic first timers weapon for generations and even some veterans still use them after some upgrades, or without. To some people a sword is just a sword." Kai said.

"Yeah, if you would give a title 'old reliable' to something, this is one of those weapons." Tomura said honestly. "So, who wants to wield it?"

"Dibs." Delilah said as she picked it up. "Gonna need to build up my combat options."

"True." Tomura shrugged. "Maybe the next chest you'll get something Kai."

"Meh." He shrugged.

The next room held another Soldier Heartless and Shadow Creatures. It was a bit harder with the increased numbers but once we got the last of them out we found another large chest. Inside was more ammo, but for different guns, rem and… is that a rapier made of bones?

"Huh, hay Tomura, catch!" Kai tossed the bone sword over at Tomura, who grabbed it… and was surprised it did not decay in his hands. "Knew it. You can use undead or necromancy based weapons fine."

"But...even Undead decay under my powers…" Tomura said in confused shock.

"How does he know that?" Delilah inquired.

"When...Jin was around, he took me to a hazard zone with some...basic zombie monsters." Tomura said as he held the bone rapier a little tighter.

"Hmm…" Kai hummed thoughtfully. "Maybe this sword is just made out of something that doesn't decay?"

"Izuku, mind scanning this for me?" Tomura brought up. "I'm pretty sure you upgraded your Scan ability to something higher up."

I nodded, using Scan along the weapon. "Huh… it says it's made from… human bone, but it has a divine element core."

"A weapon made from bones with a divine element core? Huh, that's an odd mix, but does explain why it isn't decaying. Divine core anything is immune to that effect."

"There's...something I can touch without hurting it?" Tomura asked, seeing my older brother...starting to shake a little with joy.

"You can use a sword now. That's pretty awesome." I said to Tomura.

"Even if I couldn't use a sword...it's still amazing to find something I can hold without it turning to dust in my hands…"

"Say, Kai, what's a Divine Core?" I asked.

"Well, A Core of any kind within a weapon is like… I dunno really. High level blacksmiths can imbue weapons and armors with cores that let them get stronger, evolve and gain Abilities like we do. Divine Core is just one of so many you can imbue and the stronger the weapon the more cores it can have."

"Also, certain cores can give your weapon a subtype, like putting a fire core into a weapon gives it the fire attribute." Tomura brought up.

"And therefore it can also gain fire based attacks, it's own spells and manapool independent from your own, and a lot more." Kai added.

"That's… really useful. And any weapon can be imbued with a core?" I asked.

"Yup." Kai nodded.

"There's a whole lot to cores that we don't know about, and technically, people can have cores in them considering there are plenty 'humanoid weapons'." Tomura brought up.

"Cool."

The next room had a new type of enemy. Giant bats. Two of them. I copied them and then we dealt with them. They were weak to Fire and didn't dissolve into vapors or mist. Kai stored their bodies away to… process... later. It was here we came across an optional boss room.

[Optional Boss: Great Cave Frog

Rewards: Keyblades ×4

12,000 rem

15 Skill Points per Party member

Munitions Box (Small)]

"Four Keyblades, a lot of money, fifteen skill points per Party member, and a small munitions Box. Those are good rewards." Kai said.

"So we take it?" I asked.

"I wonder what Keyblades we'll get?" Delilah wondered.

"The munitions box would help me given I use the most guns out of all of us." Tomura pointed out. "Plus...I might get to try out some more things with my powers."

"Hmm. I wonder what the Great Cave Frog is like?" I said aloud as I typed them into my Assistant. Oh, Here he is.

Great Cave Frog. This optional boss is unlike other bosses in that it is just a Monster constructed to act as a boss or miniboss in dungeons. It's powerful poison makes it immune to all forms of decay and necromancy attacks and can even use the corpses of your allies as thralls to fight against you… holy crap…

"Now that's nasty." Kai said.

"This bastard's gonna be tricky." Tomura frowned. "Considering my quirk don't work on it…"

"It's probably why Kurogiri chose this one as the optional bosses. He's probably testing to see how well you can fight without your quirk." I suggested. "And I'm willing to bet the other optional bosses are similar, each one nullifying one of our strengths so we can adapt and work on our weaknesses."

"Fair." Tomura nodded. "So, we going to fight these optional boss?"

"Probably best if we do." Kai said. "If this is our training we best not half ass it by not completing everything."

"Fair enough." Tomura nodded. "Let's hope for the best I suppose."

We entered the room, it was a large room lit by a single large torch and had a rushing river/ mini waterfall inside against the back wall.

Emerging from the river was a large frog, taller than Kai and wider than all four of us together. It's eyes black and hollow and skin wet with toxic poison. Upon seeing us it opened its mouth, several sets of bones getting spewed out as they now began to come together into an amalgamated form between the frog and us.

"That is… going to give me nightmares…" I shivered.

"Same here…" Kai said.

"What is this, the Gitrogg Monster from Inistrad?" Tomura frowned.

"I'm pretty sure the only people who would get that reference is the both of us Tomura." Delilah said, preparing her brand new sword. "We better kill it fast, I don't know how strong it's poison is or it's thralls."

"Delilah and I can handle Bones here, you two use range to take the reptile out." Kai said as he and Delilah vegan attacking the skeletal abomination.

"I'm pretty sure a frog is an amphibian." I said as Tomura and I rushed around to the frog. I began casting Fire and Ice spells at the large beast and Tomura shot off his shotgun.

[Great Cave Frog HP: 1520/1540]

Crap that's a lot of health!

"Can you tell any weaknesses with your scan ability?" Tomura asked. "Cause Divine might work against it but I'd rather not just rush in blindly."

I nodded, activating scan.

[Great Cave Frog.

Weaknesses:

Wind

Lightning

Holy

Silver]

"It's weak to Wind, Lightning, Silver and Holy. Holy and Divine are the same right?" I asked as I kept throwing fire at the thing.

"Well…" Tomura said as he put away his Shotgun and pulled out his divine rapier. "This just got a whole lot better."

"Divine is basically a stronger version of Holy." Delilah told me.

I nodded, keeping the frog distracted with spells as Tomura rushed in. He dodged a swing from it's… hand? And managed to get a cut along that appendage.

[HP: 1497/1540]

That's a lot of damage.

"Now that's more like it!" He said happily as he stabbed the frog a lot quicker than his first swing.

Note to self, Weakness Damage is a lot stronger than basic attacks.

When Kai and Delilah finished that abomination off they joined Kai and I against the frog.

With the four of us we managed to make quick work of the boss and gained the rewards.

We each got a Keyblade called Starlight. Apparently it's like a beginners Keyblade that will change depending on its wielder.

Tomura was also surprised it didn't decay in his hands either. His specifically also had a Divine Core put in while the rest were standard Starlight Keyblades. I'm assuming Katzuki has something to do with that.

"Well...this is cool." Tomura said honestly.

"Yeah, always wondered why Mom never gave us ones either. Seems odd given she has two." Kai said.

"I'm just surprised with how light weight it feels." I said, moving the key shaped weapon along. It felt like a thin stick in weight. "Wasn't expecting this given it's size."

"Considering it's a weapon made of pure magic, I wouldn't think it would be that heavy." Delilah brought up.

"Okay. So far we are making great progress. Should we take a short break for a bit?"

"I'm game for a break." Kai shrugged.

"We're gonna need to rest up for the rest of the dungeon, and thankfully, optional boss rooms become safe zones after you beat them." Tomura said honestly.

"Good." I said, taking a seat on the ground. Delilah rested next to me and I let out a sigh. I could use a nap.

---

I found myself in what looked like a festival. I walked the streets enjoying the sights and smells. It reminded me of the festivals back home- Delilah!? "Hi Izuku~" She purred, dressed in a short pink kimono with a peach and strawberry pattern.

"D-Delilah?! Are… we sharing a dream or something or is it all just in my head…"

"This is the Dream World." She said honestly. "We're both dreaming, but the dream world is just as real as the real world."

"Oh, oh! Katzuki told me about this, it just takes a while for Isekai to appear here. So, it's a never ending festival?" I asked, looking at all the games and dancing and food around.

"Pretty much." She shrugged. "The ancient Admin's of Dreams wanted to make this paradise, free from nightmares and just a simple party, but who those Admin's were have been lost to time sadly, same with a whole host of other rather important people."

"You'd think not considering how long people here live and all." I said with a shrug.

"The only people that remember the extraordinary time frame between now and when this all started would be Lord, Mother, The Family, and the Time Walkers, and none of them have ever been either keen to share those times, or even been able to have a conversation with anyone in general." Delilah explained.

"Huh. That's strange." I muttered. "Well, come-on then, let's go have some fun here. You have been here before right, know any good places?"

"This entire place is a 'good places'." Delilah giggled. "But what are you in the mood for? Food? Games? Movies?"

"You know this place best. Surprise me."

I'd come to regret that. Rather quickly.

Where we were now was… a thing. "Uh, Delilah, what is The Match Makers Guild?" I asked as we stood outside the love themed… Casino, I wanna call it?

"Exactly what it looks like, a love hotel." She giggled.

"I figured something like that but what even is The Match Makers Guild?" I asked.

"The Match Makers Guild...well it's pretty much that, it matches people up with their best supports, it's also the guild that takes in Lover Prize people when the people that won them don't open up."

"Uh huh… and you brought me here… to do what exactly?"

"Either to find you more party members to help us deal with 'you know what', or get you more girlfriends." She said honestly. "I did say I was going to get you more girlfriends."

"Uh… huh…" I said, barely getting to turn around before Delilah literally picked me up and carried me inside. "Come on Delilah, what's with you and… harems…?" I asked with a blush.

"As your lover, I must have you share your amazing love and indulge in my fetish." She said honestly. "Cause you deserve it."

"But… I mean,"

"Plus this can help you be a hero~"

I raised an eyebrow at that. "How does you getting me a harem make me a hero?"

"Some of the people in these pods have been here for hundreds, even thousands of years. They wait in an endless sleep until the right person comes along. By being the one to wake them up you can save them from another hundred or more years of sleep and get them going on with their life."

"... That's… I mean…" Sleeping for hundreds of years… just, waiting… "Fine… God Tomura and Kai are gonna-" I stopped mid sentence as I saw… "Tomura?"

He looked at me. Looked at Delilah, and the building we were all about to enter.

"Listen...the Divine Cores gave me hope okay?" Tomura said.

"Oh, is that why you were also a hermit?" Delilah asked.

"One of the reasons besides Jin…" Tomura sighed out. "And what brings you two here?"

"Delilah's fetish…" I said, blushing.

"And you saving any of those Lover Prize people like Prince Charming?" Tomura teased.

"Shut up!"

When we got inside it was… kinda surprising. It was more or less like a lobby with a single lady, she looked human, as the reception desk. "Hello and welcome to The Matchmakers Guild, what form of companionship are you looking for today?" She asked us.

"Lover companion's." Delilah said. "For Izuku Midoriya."

"Lover companion's as well." Tomura nodded.

"Right then, so, who is going first?" I took a step back, even pushed Tomura ahead of me. Delilah laughed. "Please bring out your Assistant under the scanner then."

Nodding, Tomura did as told. A beam of red light scanning it.

"Please let this work…" Tomura muttered.

"Alright then mister Tomura, it looks like at this location we have nine compatible residents for you."

"At… this location?" I asked.

"Yes, we typically keep forty to fifty thousand unopened prize pod people here of the Lovers Class at each location." She stated. "Now, mister Tomura, would you like to see them all or pick one specifically?"

"I'd like to see them all please." He answered.

"Very well." She said. She pushed a button on her desk and behind her desk appeared nine pods, each one gave a holographic image of the person inside. "We have Natally the Celestial, Kiki the Chaos Witch, Agitha the Lich Queen, Sol the Human, Cla the wood elf, Nicky the Succubus, Tina the Scolvaltural Dire Wolf, Hanna the Technomage and Amber the Naga." She listed off.

"Wow…" Tomura blinked in surprise. "Um...and this is taking my...abilities into account?" He inquired nervously.

"Yes, actually. Your Quirk Ability Decay does make it difficult but not impossible. Each of these fine ladies does have either high resistance or complete immunity to your Decay ability. If anything given their current skill trees and once you open them the ones who are only resistant, Sol and Cla, will most likely gain an immunity later on as they also have a rapid regeneration ability."

"You can tell all that?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes, while when first found it's not easy to tell who they are and what they have lined up and all that, we can decode it when they arrive here, if they are unfortunate to end up here." The lady said.

"I...honestly can't believe it…" Tomura said. "Today...just keeps getting better and better."

"Now would you like one, two, or?" She asked.

"He wants all of them." Delilah answered for Tomura. "You can obviously tell he's about to cry in pure joy at not needing to hide himself for other people's safety right?"

"It's not the first time I've seen it, nor the last." The receptionist sighed, although I wasn't sure if it was because they've done this for a long time or they're sad that people try to hide themselves from love.

Tomura walked over to the first pod, opening it. The first thing to pop out of the person inside were… giant… white… wings! She then sat up and jumped out of the pod. "Woah, now that is a power nap." She, Natally, said as she stretched herself. She was… tall, easy six feet even with a… figure that my mom used to get sad when she saw another lady like that in a magazine… large. She was large. She then looked down at Tomura. "Tomura, happy to meet the man I'm spending eternity with." She said, giving him a hug.

"He went limp… is he okay?" I asked.

"He's just enjoying the girl's." Natally said.

The… oh...

"I...I can't believe it…" Tomura muttered in pure bliss.

Tomura opened the other eight and well… he was… happy.

Delilah was now looking at me and gave me that smile I've grown to know well and fear. I sighed, putting my Assistant under the scanner.

"Okay then, mister Izuku… At this facility you have ten thousand matches."

"I'm sorry WHAT?!" I yelped. "How is that even possible?!"

"Because you're adorable." Delilah giggled. "And smart, kind, and an all around great person."

"I mean, we have had people who matched with the entire list of residents before so this is not that bad." The lady said. "WIll you be taking all like mister Tomura?"

I simply turned to Delilah… Mercy?

"No mercy." Delilah told me with that same smile. "We would like all of them please."

---

Returning to the dungeon when I awoke from that nightmare proved… crowded. Kai, passed out from laughing several times before he finally got it all out of him. "Geeze Izuku, I never took you for a ladies man... real hound dog here!" Kai said, giving me a hard noogie.

"Delilah is the one who said take them all!" I countered, trying to pull out of Kai's grasp. When I did I just fell into the hands of… ah! I got myself back up.

"I regret nothing." Delilah said.

"Me neither." Tomura said, his group of nine sticking close to him.

"Okay…" A black vortex portal opened, and Kurugiri walked out of his portal. "What in the infinite levels of hell happened here?"

"Delilah's fetish." Kai said, laughing again.

The void admin groaned, despite his face just being a black mist of smoke he looked rather upset. "Katzuki owes me big time for this…" He said, growling as he rubbed his temples. "Honestly…"

"Hey, I was fine with my nine here." Tomura said with raised hands. "It's Izuku here that got ten thousand."

"In any case… Everyone here not in the party of four, through the portal. I'll have to reorganize Iziku and Tomura's rooms." There was a chorus of sad sighed but everyone did walk through Kurugiri's portal. After the last one walked through Kurugiri then walked up in front of Delilah and I. "For the sake of my sanity and your own health… until you two get your own housing with enough internal dimensional space to house them all and more… I better not see a single new addition to your 'little' harem, got it?" To help emphasize his point, he released a not so little amount of void that, being part cat, sent my instincts into red alert and crossing into accepting my fate. Judging from Delilah's face, she was in the same boat.

"Don't worry, we know." Tomura said carefully.

"We didn't mean to make it more of a hassle to you…" Delilah said nervously.

"Good…" Kurugiri said, absorbing his void back into himself and began walking into his portal. "Fucking horny teenagers." He said before entering and it closed.

We all fell to our hands and knees. "And I thought mom was scary…" Kai said.

"Well I'm sorry that I'm more happy about me being able to physically touch another without accidentally destroying their bodies." Tomura huffed.

"You okay Delilah?" I asked. She was still shaking a bit.

"The Void...is never pleasant." She shivered in fear.

"Yeah… how can he handle that kind of energy? Every cell in my body was trying to decide on either running for my life or accepting my demise…" I said, shaking off the memory as I helped Delilah up.

"Void is not for the faint of heart." Kai sighed, getting back up. "I imagine you three, mostly Tomura, want to get back to those lovely ladies so let's wrap this up quick then shall we?"

"Yes please." Tomura nodded.

I sighed, nodding as we headed on.

Surprisingly the rest of the dungeon wasn't so bad. This floor had one other optional boss, a stone golem immune to magic so I had to switch to using one of the copied Quirks. I don't have enough experience for Kai's. Tomura's is easy to use but even if that thing is slow it's a pain to get hit by… Maybe. "Hay Tomura, jump in." I said, activating Kurugiri's quirk. The black mist flowed from my arms, and replaced my hair as a portal opened on the floor next to me and the other above the golem.

Nodding, Tomura jumped in, exiting above the golem and grabbing it's head. Immediately the stone began turning to sand and soon it was gone entirely.

I was breathing heavily. Is using a quirk always this tireing or is it just me since I never had one before… and now I have three… huh… Kachan would get so mad if he learned about this…

"Alright that was twenty skill points each, ten thousand rem each and we each also get a new gun." Kai said as he handed out the firearms.

"But, I don't really like guns…" I said as he handed me a small revolver.

"It's better to learn and never use it than to need it and not know how to use it, right?" Kai asked.

"Well… yeah… I guess." I said, looking the black metal firearm over.

Tomura got himself something he called a machine pistol, Kai kept a shotgun for himself and Delilah took a short rifle for herself. As we walked to the next room, most likely the boss room, I kept looking at the weapon. Why does this… just not feel right, holding it?

"Holding a gun doesn't feel right huh?" Tomura asked me curiously.

"Yeah. I don't know why either. It just… I don't know. I can't describe it, it's just this wrong feeling." I said.

"Guns have a...peculiar effect." Tomura said honestly. "Even in a world where people can run faster than the speed of light, bench press mountains or swing a sword hard enough to create a Grand Canyon...a gun is still a gun, and one bullet in the right spot can down anyone without regeneration."

"Depending on the metal, even those with regeneration." Kai added. "I can get not liking guns, really, but trust me Izuku, a contingency just in case of emergencies is a good thing. A lot of dungeons, especially level fours and fives, have restrictions that can block you from using abilities, magic, certain weapons, and those are the ones Chaos Guilds love to hide in."

"How do they even hide in dungeons like that?" I asked.

"Pocket dimensions. A safe room is always a safe spot. Someone brings in a small pop up tent that can house fifty on the inside but look no bigger than an outhouse on the outside. It's allowed because some people enjoy farming certain floros and dungeons… of course, it's also one of those things Chaos Guilds exploit."

"It's still a wonder how or why these people keep cropping up…" Tomura shook his head.

"My money is that some people are just crazy." Kai said.

"Aren't we all crazy?" Tomura joked.

"So, it's just people being people and all that huh?" I asked.

"I suppose the old saying 'Some people just want to watch the world burn' still holds true…" Tomura sighed out.

"Hm… Yeah…" I said as we made it to the main boss room.

[Boss: Gunther the Gorilla.

HP:2,000/2,000]

"This guy has a lot of HP." Kai said. "If he's packing void too it might be a problem."

"So this is gonna be a pain in the ass?" Tomura brought up. "Goodie…"

"I'm willing to bet if he's large he might not be all that fast and with luck Tomura can get some damage in with his quirk. If I add the one I copied from him too then it might be a short fight." I stated.

"Possibly, but in my experience if a boss is slow he's a tank and not every massive boss is a snail either. He might be faster than we'd like." Kai sighed. "I can try the dirt to gunpowder trick again but I'm pretty sure it won't kill him instantly. Take out a good amount of HP and maybe stun him for a bit but that all depends on his defences."

"What if I copy him?" I asked. "If I copy his race and Racial Abilities I might be able to at least provide some help, plus if I turn on Tomura's quirk for my punches or slaps I can also deal in decay damage."

"True… by the way did you copy that frog boss too?"

"Nope. I would rather not be that…" I said, remembering that boss was nasty.

"That is perfectly fine." Delilah nodded. "But...sooner or later you might need to if we go into any Necrotic Waste type area's.'

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there… okay so we have a plan at least. It won't take Copy Cat much time at all to scan him over so once it does I'll shift race and take him head in, giving you three time to get at him from behind."

"Sounds like a plan." Tomura nodded.

"This should be fun." Delilah said as she prepared her shadow sword.

"Let's kick some ass then." Kai said, cracking his knuckles.

We opened the door. Inside was a large Gorilla as expected but he was not like your basic animal. He was intelligent. "So, you four gave Kurogiri quite the headache. Heh, I like you already." He said, giving a toothy smile.

"Well, that's what happens when this guy here get's ten thousand girlfriends all at once." Tomura said simply.

"That's not going away anytime soon…" I sighed.

Gunther chuckled. "Anybody who can give that sourpuss a headache is okay by me. And it's nice to see so many of the pod people freed."

"Pod people deserve their freedom to enjoy life as is, and indulge in my harem fetish." Delilah said proudly.

I sighed. "Does that mean a lot of pod people don't get opened?"

The gorilla sighed. "Sadly. The matchmakers Guild does it's best but they typically replace their residents faster than they get to go. Ally, Servant, Lover, all the classes often times find themselves ending up there."

"Which is always strange considering how many people...want to be with someone." Tomura brought up carefully, having apparently been in that category of 'wanting to be loved but couldn't due to outside reasons'.

"Sadly. Real shame too, all of them are still people."

"Yeah…" I said. So they are largely just trapped… basically forever until… "How does the Liver class work exactly?" I asked. "Can they only love the one who freed them?"

"No, they can learn to love others, just takes time and can be a difficult transition, but it happens."

"It's a whole thing that the Matchmaker guild has been trying to figure out, even petitioning some help from The Family on occasion to figure something out." Delilah brought up.

"Hmm I have an idea, I'll just have to talk to Kurogiri when this is all over…" I said, Copy Cat copying Gunther's race and Racial Abilities as I shifted into a large Gorilla.

---

"... You're insane…" Kurogiri said flatly.

"It is crazy but hey, Crazy works in our world." Kai stated.

"If it means I can help them then I will do it." I said firmly. "I'll free every pod person the Matchmakers Guild has, and hopefully the rest I can't too. They deserve to finally start living life."

"But hey, it'll help the MatchMakers guild." Delilah said honestly. "Even if they have as many people as physically possible… they're still understaffed from what I've researched."

"Weird." Kai said.

"In any case they all deserve a chance to be free. I bet with just the ones Delilah had us being home we could build a town or small city." I said.

Kurogiri looked thoughtful for a time. "A city of Pod people… heh, now that isn't a new idea but it could lead to interesting things… and who exactly would lead this city?"

"None of us really have any leadership skills, but I think Izuku should be the leader." Delilah suggested.

"Hmm… No, Izuku is still young for that… hehehehe. But I know someone who just might fit the bill…"

Kurogiri quickly wrote out then sent a letter out and not a second later a blue clock themed portal opened up and- Katzuki?

She had a lot of bags under her eyes. "Kurogiri… I owe you…" She said, yawning. "Hey kids."

"It's only been a week, what happened to you?!" Kai asked.

"They put me in archives…" She groaned, plopping onto the couch.

"So...not sure if you heard, but me and Izuku got girlfriends." Tomura brought up. "And...their all either highly resistant or immune to my Decay…" He said, the tired time walker not having seen Tomura this happy in a long time.

"That's good sweetie… *yawn* finally gets…"

"She… fell asleep?" I asked, Katzuki's light snores filled the room. "Are the Archives in the Time Walkers Guild that bad?"

"From what I know, the internal workings of the Time Walkers are pure and complex Bureaucracy. Paperwork and waiting and forms and files. Their archive rooms take up enough space to fill a planet like Dechamore nine times over."

"Fucking hell no wonder she's exhausted." Kai said. "What did you send to get her out of that?"

"I have a few friends other than Katzuki in the Time Walkers and when building a new city or town it's best to request someone with prior experience." Kurogiri stated.

"So how long does she have to power nap before she has to be back at work?" Tomura asked curiously.

"Let her sleep for now. Having her service her punishment building a town is much better than the Archives. Her punishment is that she will run and build this city. Keeps her close to you all and with luck you can all move out…"

"Heh, okay then…" I said.

With that done we all returned to our rooms and I forgot about the ten thousand girl army in there…

Taking a deep breath I walked in and… huh. Everyone is mostly just doing their own thing. Better than all them jumping me...

"Hey everybody." Delilah said happily.

"Hi." Most everyone replied.

With a sigh I went and laid down on my bed, Delilah following my example. "Today was… interesting."

"It was most certainly interesting." Delilah said happily.

"Guess I will end up going back to the Matchmakers Guild if it means helping all those people still stuck in their pods." I sighed.

"That's fair." She nodded. "It's gonna take a while, it's gonna be a pain in the ass for everyone involved, but it'll all work out."

"It's the right thing to do, and the right thing is rarely the easy thing to do." I said, letting my mind wander. "So… knowing I can't actually be with all of them… how many do you think I will end up with?" I asked with a sigh.

"All the girlfriends you got from those prize pods or the one's you'll open up for the town?" Delilah asked curiously.

"... Both I guess?"

"The one's that will be in the town will be handled by a governing body, and you can actually be with all of them." Delilah said honestly. "Just as an example, The Family has been said to basically just be it's own Harem of unknowable numbers, but they all made it work out." She brought up.

"... I don't know if I'd wanna try that… as is, I'm still not fully used to you at all Delilah. Back home not many girls gave me a second glance, especially when they learned I was Quirkless. In fact a fair amount bullied me about it too…"

"Well this isn't back home." Delilah reminded me. "And we're not asking you to immediately jump into a massive orgy pile." That made me turn so red I wasn't sure if I looked like me or a tomato. "All we're asking for, at the moment, is a simple date and time with each of us. You have me, and ten thousand others, that want to know more about you Izuku, to love you for you, not because of your powers or lack thereof, but because your a wonderful person."

"Heh, thanks for that Delilah. Still, Ten thousand is… a lot."

"And that's why we're ageless and there are cloning abilities." She said honestly.

"Wait, seriously? Clones?"

"Yeah, there's actually hundreds of different cloning techniques, mostly from certain Ninja worlds that use elements or other natural powers to make physical clones that disappear after a bit, but the strongest would be Starfish Clones."

"Starfish Clones? Huh… well, in any case I guess we better get some rest. I imagine when Katzuki wakes up she'll want to know all she's missed."

"Oh yeah, that's for sure." She scooted closer and wrapped her arms and tail around me. "Now, it's nice and sweet cuddle time."

As I was getting comfortable I felt… others, start to get on the bed next to us and soon the bed was packed with… people all huddled on top of Delilah and I. I sighed, accepting it as I went to sleep. I'll make sure this time in the Realm of Dreams I get to try out some of those games.
