Musutafu Private Hospital

Musutafu, Japan

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I need a permission to leave the hospital for a while."

Izuku, now wearing a tracksuits and a white shirt underneath the jacket, standing in front of the counter while talking with the nurse.

"May I ask what do you plan on going?" The nurse asked as Izuku rubs his head sheepishly.

"There's something I would like to do for mom. She's been more tired as usual and the accident that happens to me didn't help at all." Izuku was half lying. He really did this to ease his mother's worry, getting stronger so no one could hurt him anymore.

"That's sweet, but you're a patient, kid." The nurse can't help but be awe at the kid's kindness. It's rare these days to see a child helping their parents as they're too focus on being a hero and all, forgetting that helping others is another heroic things.

"Please, I really, really need to do this." Izuku begged as he accidentally use a puppy dog eye, and to no one's surprises, it's so effective that the nurse felt her heart squeezed and blood starts to spew out of her mouth. "AAAHHH!!! ARE YOU OKAY!?!?!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine!!"

"You're spewing blood, you're not fine, miss!!"

"I'm fine! You'll be allowed to leave but you need to return before 8 PM!!"

"But-!"

"I'm fine!!!"

"That has to be the weirdest moment in my life." Izuku mutters as he sita on the back of the bus while adjusting his gloves. His cureent destination is to Airjet's hero agency and look for the second alleyway of the agency.

'Still can't believe that the location specifically ask me to go to the second alleyway...' Izuku thought before noticing that he has arrived at the Airjet Bus Station. He can't help but sweatdrop at the lack of creativity from whoever name this station. Sure, they did it to honor Airjet for saving the entire district, but at least give a better name. Izuku imagines the name will be Air Force or something, not...this...

Izuku steps out of the bus and looks the building in front of him. It's a giant building painted in sky blue and reflecting glasses, with a giant sign board that says 'Galewind' at the top of the sign.

"Galewind Agency...where most air-based or flying quirk sidekicks joined." Izuku mutter before deciding to go for the second alleyway at the agency. He still can't believe of how specific the location is. Why it has to be the second alleyway again?

As he arrive at the location, he saw it. A huge energy field blocking the alleyway and a tiny hole lit up by the field itself right on the center. Izuku pulls out the key from the inventory and sure enough, the key starts to glow and hummed.

He stares at the field before approaching it and inserts the key right into the hole. And as he did it, the hum grews louder as the field shattered and a familiar looking portal appears. Flashes of his first experience with the portal starts to hit him like a truck as he takes a step back. His breathing grews heavy and his eyes widen, panic and fear slowly took over him.

'I can't...I can't...not again...not again...' Izuku thought as his whole world go silent except his heartbeat and breathing. Ot happens for a moment as he can't stop remembering how the statue crushes him like an ant. He was about to run away from the portal before an image of Bakugou's mocking grin appears in his mind.

Izuku stops himself from moving as he stares at the portal. He continues to stare as he remembers the stats he saw when checking the key.

'This isn't like that...it wasn't like that damn dungeon...' Izuku thought as he slowly takes a few deep breath and his heartbeat slowed down. He steeled himself as he grip his fist tightly. 'I need to grow stronger, but staying in hospital while doing nothing but daily quest won't help...do this for yourself...do this for mom...don't made her worry any longer...'

Izuku sigh before staring at the portal, but the stare is no longer showing any hint of fear and panic. He is now determined and a little bit angry at the gate. He takes a deep breath once more before going into the portal, by runnjng towards it.

As he did, he saw the whole area changed. It was now a normal looking forest. Izuku blinks at the scene before he hears an energy crackling behind him. He turns around and saw the cracks was sealed by a translucent energy field.

'Right...the dungeon doesn't allow you to leave unless you complete it or you loses.' Izuku thought as he knocks the barrier, and sure enough, a ripple appears from where he hits the field. 'I guess I gotta clear this damn dungeon myself...then again, I can't exactly ask someone to help...no one will accept my request anyways...'

Izuku hears a rustle and turns around. He pulls out the short sword on his hand and blinks when he saw a humanoid wolf wearing leather armor and cape holding a shiny looking sword walking out of the bush.

[Iron Clawed Kobold]

Izuku can't help but sweatdrop at the name. If the Kobold truly does have iron claws, then what's the point of the sword it holds?

'Nevermind that...I need to-!' He froze as he felt his legs were unable to move. 'W-what!? Why can't-!' Izuku looks back at the kobold making a feral growl and gripping its sword. 'Damn it, legs! Move, you fool! You didn't came back from being decapitated jsut to freeze up! Move!!'

The earlier question were immediately answered as the Kobold roared at him and swing its sword at Izuku, who gains an above average reflexes from his bullies, instinctively blocks the attack with his short sword while manages to regain the ability to move his legs. And to his surprise, the kobold was smart enough to follow up with a combo of claw attack. Izuku barely able to get his head away as the claw sliced some of his hair.

Izuku uses his strength to knock the sword away, and much to his surprise, thanks to his boosted strength, he manages to knock it away. Izuku took this chance to stabs Kobold right on its throat as blood spews out of its mouth and into Izuku's clothes.

[Congratulations, your actions result in getting new skill - Critical Strike: Lvl 1]

[Critical Strike: Lvl 1]

[Your attack is now more proficient. You're now able to detect enemies' vital point and inflict critical damage]

[Mana consumption: 70 MP]

"Eh!?!" Izuku said in disbelief as he saw his mana depleted to a measly 10 MP and the Kobold starts squealing in pain. Izuku shakes his head before replaying Yoroi Musha's lesson in his head, using precision and technique to slice off the Kobold's head. It was at first stuck righta the middle, but Izuku pushed through and was able to slice it off.

[Notice: You have defeated an Iron-Clawed Kobold]

[Leveled Up!]

Izuku saw the stats and blinked. He wasn't expecting to level up so early. Then again, he was level 1 after all, so gaining a lot of exp to level up is not farfetched.

Izuku saw three lights coming out of the decapitated corpse. He approaches it, crouches down and touches the light before another holographic screen appears.

[Congratulations: You obtained a Leather Chestplate]

[Congratulations: You obtained a Fur Cape]

[Congratulations: You obtained the Iron Claws x 2]

Izuku blinked before he went to check on the item drop's status.

[Fusion available:

- Caped Leather Armor [Rank: E: Physical Reduction 1.5%.]

[Material Required: Leather Chestplate (x1), Fur Cape (x1)]

[Do you wish to fuse this armor?]

[Y/N]

"So, armors can be fused huh? Is it for every armor or is it just for some of them?" Izuku mutters before pressing [Y]. He expects a weird glowing light that blinds every player whenever crafting an item, so he was taken aback when the fusion is merely two items attach to each other like a magnet before it falls into Izuku's hand.

"...I'm going to be honest, I was expecting it to be more flashy..." Izuku said before he opens his character windows and equips it. To his shock, the armor immediately placed into his upper body and it slowly disappear. Izuku looks back at the windows and see that he still equip the item and even has the [Physical Damage Reduction] effect.

"So, I can hid my armor from everyone's sight? This is so practical, no one will questions the armor!" Izuku exclaimed excitedly before looking at the iron claws. "Now...how do I sell this?"

Izuku continues to stare at the claw for a while before deadpanned at a possible oversimplified command that never be mentioned.

"...open [Shop]?" Izuku said unsurely and sure enough, a green holographic screen appears.

[Shop]

[What would you like to do?]

[Purchase/Sell]

Izuku's deadpan face remains before he press the [Sell] option.

[Please insert the item into the screen]

[ ]

Izuku places both claws into it and another holographic screen appears.

[You have obtained 60 golds]

[Balance: 60]

"I wonder how much does 60 golds worth in yen." Izuku mutters out loud. "It feels like it doesn't worth much." Izuku tries to press the [Purchase] option.

[Notice: You cannot made any purchases at your current level]

"Good to know you can't rely on Pay To Win Method too much." Izuku said before exits the shop. He got up and looks at his short sword then back at the kobold. "...where's my sword?"

Izuku continues to stare at the dead corpses, hoping that it's a glitch and a light will appear so he can pick the dropped sword. After a full minute, his veins popped and starts kicking the corpse and walk away with a huff.

"Scam...a total scam!" Izuku mutter before he saw more and more Kobolds appears, growling at him. Izuku felt nervous at the sudden increase of the crowd as he grip his short sword properly, but at the same time, he felt excited.

"That's a lot of kobolds..." Izuku's excitement overtook him as his face made a nervous grin. "Time to level up..." He takes his stances as the kobolds roared at him and charge towards him.
