Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 2: Chimamire no gēmu ga hajimaru

About an hour later, the scene shifts at the school infirmary where you can see that Midoriya is slowly waking up, and he appeared disoriented as he tried to recall what just happened, and the school nurse spoke and asked how is he feeling, as she checked on him earlier and find no signs of any kind which made her decide not to send him to the hospital.

Midoriya sat up and said that he felt something weird just happened, and after telling the nurse what he experienced, the nurse chuckled and said that maybe he need to take some time off and go home for today so he can rest and be energized by tomorrow. Midoriya sweat-dropped as he felt that the nurse did not believe what she just heard about a DIGITAL SNAKE emerging from his smartphone and bit him which led him to ending up here inside the clinic.

"I'm guessing that you're getting delirious due to watching too many horror movies."

"Eh…?"

"Yup. That must be it…"

"Er…I'm sure I was bitten…"

"I checked. There's no snakebite or anything. You're perfectly well."

"Really?"

"You should take the rest of the day off and get some rest. Since it's Friday today, I'm sure you'll be needing some rest. I'll tell the principal about it. You should go home for now."

"…"

As Midoriya walks out of the clinic, his classmates stood there watching, where they appeared concerned after the way he fainted, and there they spoke to Midoriya, asking if he is okay and if he is sick or something, unaware of what really happened to him.

Midoriya said while he do feel quite exhausted, he said he is fine, as he could not vividly recall what happened earlier, and did not want his classmates to worry. hearing this made them feel relieved and told him to go home for now and rest

"Just do as we advised you to do, Midoriya."

"You get some rest, okay?"

"Please."

"Don't scare us like that."

"We got worried, you know that?"

"Just take the rest of the day off."

"That way you'll be refreshed."

"…"

After that, Midoriya walked off as he went to pick up his bag and head home to take the rest of the day off, while his classmates just stood there watching their classmate taking his leave.

Several minutes later, the scene shifts inside a train as he is taking a ride home as he recalled what happened earlier, as he is sure that a snake appeared on his smartphone and went out and bit him, yet no one believed his claims and even the school nurse believed that he is having a hallucination of sorts, which Midoriya sighed as he wondered if he is having a case of UNFORTUNATE MISFORTUNE.

At the moment the train is quite full and there are no seats available, so all he could do is stand up and wait for the next station to arrive so that once passengers get off he can get a seat to sit on. he soon recalled what happened earlier, and while baffled, he opted to ignore it as he checked his smartphone and there the same app he saw earlier appeared, where the app, Darwin's Game, STATING that his FIRST BATTLE will commence in a minute.

Midoriya blinked his eyes when he saw a GAME AVATAR of himself is displayed on the app, which made him even more baffled, and as the timer began to tick, Midoriya is even more confused as how his likeness is made automatically, and soon the train arrived at the next station, where nearly all passengers got off, and he sighed as he finally got a seat.

As he checked his smartphone, he saw that the app, Darwin's Game, STATED that the game has started, and his opponent will be someone named Stain, which that person's screen avatar appeared, which further confused Midoriya, and there he glanced at his left side, where he blinked his eyes when a person stood up from his seat, where the person, who appeared muscular, stared at the boy, in a rather menacing way.

The man has a flat, somewhat-triangular face with no nose; has a very long tongue, tainted with numerous small bumps. He has rather long, black hair, which he wears in a messy fashion; it would drape over his face if not for his headband and mask, and small blood red eyes with tiny irises.

He sports a dark combat suit, plated with metal armor across his body to holster his weapons. The torso is sleeveless, so he instead wraps his arms in yellow bandages, all the way from just below his shoulders to his wrists. He also wears long black wristbands and a watch on his left arm, and his knees are protected with metal pads, the costume completed by black boots with steel armor. He always dons his signature blood-red scarf and matching headband, as well as the tattered cloth he wears around his face as a mask.

Finally he brandished a VERY SHARP knife, and is carrying a sword covered in a sheathe.

He stared straight at Midoriya and slowly approaches him, and Midoriya then stared at the person and the screen of his smartphone, where he became alarmed as the avatar resembled the person, and his name is displayed on the screen, stating that the person approaching him is named Stain. Midoriya became a bit nervous and there he asked Stain what is he doing, but Stain said nothing as he approached the boy, staring intently at him.

"Hey…"

"…"

"What are you doing…?"

"…"

"That's…!"

"…"

"S-stop!"

"…"

Stain said nothing as he lunges forward and raises his arm, ready to stab his target, and Midoriya panicked as he uses his bag to shield himself, where he FORTUNATELY managed to shield himself from being stabbed, and he instinctively kicks Stain back as he ran off and exited the train, and ran towards the exit of the station, where he is screaming for help.

Stain followed and hid the knife as he chases after his target, and as Midoriya ran past a crowd of arriving passengers, he managed to get a head start, but Stain simply shoves the blockade aside, causing some to fall off and they screamed at Stain for his actions.

"EEEEKKK!"

"HEY!"

"YOU ASSHOLE!"

"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?"

"COME BACK HERE!"

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

"YOU'LL GET WHAT'S COMING, YOU JACKASS!"

"HOPE YOU'LL DIE A KARMIC DEATH!"

Midoriya managed to escape the train station and ran towards the sidewalks, hoping to outrun his attacker, but then he saw Stain chasing after him, and this made the boy feel more terror as he kept running, and he screamed for help as he passed by several pedestrians, which they were baffled at seeing Midoriya screaming for help, wondering if he is serious or just looking for attention.

However, Stain ran past the pedestrians, shoving them aside, causing them to fall to the ground, some got hurt and others were irked by this and shouted at Stain for doing that, though he ignored them as he is focused on chasing his target, and the angry pedestrians cursed him in anger and annoyance as he did not even apologized for what he just did.

"EEEEKKK!"

"DAMN!"

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"

"WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM SHOVING ME LIKE THAT?"

"COME BACK HERE! I'LL GIVE YOU A DAMN BEATING!"

"STOP! I'LL KILL YOU!"

"YOU'LL GET WHAT'S COMING, YOU JACKASS JERK!"

"HOPE YOU'LL DIE A KARMIC DEATH!"

As the persons got up and recovered a bit, they were annoyed at what just happened, and as they are ready to leave, they commented that people today are so rude and full of themselves acting like troublemakers after Stain shoved them aside, and hoped that Stain would get a karmic result for the action he made, which the other pedestrians also echoed their sentiments that Stain should be punished for his actions.

"That guy…he pisses me off…"

"Yeah…"

"He shoved us and didn't even stop or apologize…"

"That's right…he thinks he own the streets…"

"I hope that person find that guy and avenge us…"

"Yeah, and that shover will get what's coming…"

"Cross your fingers…"

"I will…"

The scene shifts to a nearby establishment where Midoriya is seen running and is looking for the nearest police station to get help as he is fearing for his life, and the first thing he passed by is a snack bar, where he approached a bartender and asked for help, asking if there is a nearby police station here, and the bartender said that there's a police outpost nearby, and asked what is wrong.

Midoriya desperately told the bartender the reason, and yet the bartender looked around, not seeing anyone carrying a knife and tells the desperate boy that maybe he is just delirious from the heat, which the 14-year old boy denied in a panicking tone.

"I think the heat's getting to you…"

"N-no…I'm not…"

"You ought to go home and…"

"I'm serious! Someone wants to kill me!"

"And who is it? I don't see anyone…"

"I swear! I'm being chased by someone who is wielding a knife!"

"I don't see anyone. Just go home and…"

"I mean it…WWWAAHH!"

However, as Midoriya turn around, Stain arrived and raised his hand as he is holding the knife, and a terrified middle school boy narrowly evaded the stab, yet the bartender became the recipient as he is stabbed on the throat, which is quite deep, and as Stain tries to get the blade off his unfortunate victim, Midoriya ran off and head for the nearest police outpost, almost crying from terror as he wondered why someone would want to kill him.

As Stain got the knife off, he saw his target running away, and resumed in his chase, leaving the dead bartender behind, not caring about anything else other than finishing off his target and ensure his death as per the rules of the app game that is Darwin's Game.

After a minute of running, Midoriya finally found a police outpost and head there, and a policeman who is on duty saw an exhausted and panting Midoriya, who just knelt down in exhaustion, and out of curiosity, the policeman began approaching him, and asked what is wrong, and there the teen boy frantically told the policeman his situation, and the policeman glanced at Midoriya, seeing that he does not look like he is making it up as he remained kneeling down to catch his breath.

Then he saw the approaching Stain, running towards the outpost, and seeing Stain's attire matching the description that Midoriya gave, the policeman sensed that there is truth to this and drew out his gun, and aimed at the approaching attacker and warned him to stay where he is or he will be forced to shoot, which Stain said nothing as he came to a stop.

"You!"

"…"

"Stop right there!"

"…"

"I mean it!"

"…"

"Stay where you are or I'll shoot!"

"…"

However, Stain threw the knife straight and the blade hits the policeman on his throat, causing him to stagger back, and Stain went forward, held the knife by its hilt and slashes the policeman's throat to the point of nearly decapitating him, and the unintended victim fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood, dead.

Midoriya stared wide-eyed in horror at what he just saw, as two person are killed due to getting caught in this senseless crossfire and he shouted at Stain, demanding to know why he is doing this and why must he kill, reasoning that there has to be another way to settle this without any need of violent action, which Stain just stared at his prey in a silent, yet indifferent tone.

"S-stop!"

"…"

"Don't!"

"…"

"There has to be something we can settle! Just don't kill me!"

"…"

"Please!"

"…"
