E-Rank Dungeon, Kobold Camp
Galewind Agency, Musutafu, Japan
'Remember your lesson, Izuku. It's all in technique and precision!' Izuku thought as he blocked an incoming sword slash from a kobold, before kicking it away. He was surprised at how much power he packed as it caused his footprint to cave in the kobold's gut.
Another kobold tries to stab and Izuku is barely able to parry it away, and he stabs the monster's throat, causing the blood to spray on him. Izuku looks away as the blood almost touches his face before seeing another kobold already behind him.
Izuku, in panic, tossed the one he stabbed at the kobold before he felt a sharp pain in his back. He turned to saw the kobold he kicked away had just hurt him.
[Notice: You received damage! -16HP!]
Izuku gritted his teeth as the kobold went for a charging stab, but Izuku sidestepped to dodge the attack and pierced its muzzle before ripping the short sword off its jaws.
[Notice: You have defeated an Iron-Clawed Kobold]
[You leveled up!]
The kobold that got hit by its pack's corpse swings its sword. Izuku instinctively tries to block it, but instead of using his sword, he uses his wrist.
[Notice: You received damage! -9 HP]
[Notice: You have defeated an Iron-Clawed Kobold!]
[You leveled up!]
Izuku winced but felt that the wound wasn't as bad as earlier because of level up. Izuku takes the chance to kill the enemy by decapitating the enemy before it can do anything.
[Notice: You have defeated an Iron-Clawed Kobold!]
[You leveled up!]
Izuku grunts in pain as he looks at the slash wound on his wrist before cutting off the pieces of his jacket and wrapped around his wrists.
"I'm glad that I can save my Status Recovery once per two days." Izuku mutter before looking at his windows.
[Unclaimed Reward: Status Recovery (x2)]
"I need to save them in an emergency. These wounds are nothing." Izuku said before looking at the dead Kobold. He saw the familiar glow once more and touched it.
[Congratulations: You obtained Leather Chestplate! x2]
[Congratulations: You obtained Leather Wristguard!]
[Congratulations: You obtained Fur Cape!]
[Congratulations! You obtained Iron Claws! (x3)]
Izuku felt his veins pop as he looked at the notification. Where is the sword!?! Give this boy a new sword!!
"Is the drop rate really that low?" Izuku mutter before he looks at the wristguard.
[Leather Wristguard]
[Rank: E]
[Physical Damage Reduction: 1%]
[Strength: 1]
[Fusion available: 1]
"So, lower my strength but in exchange for physical damage reduction," Izuku mutters before looking at the available fusion.
[Fusion Available: ]
[Barbarian Gauntlet (Rank D): Physical Damage Reduction: 2%, Strength: 4, Agility: 2]
[Material Required: Fingerless Gloves (x1), Leather Wristguard (1), Fur Coat (1)]
" Fur Coat? Not Fur Cape!?" Izuku looks like he has been bamboozled. The kobold has dropped fur capes but the fusion requires a fur coat! "Where the fuck should I even get a fur coat!?" Izuku yelled out in anger before noticing more and more kobolds appearing. "...oh, yes. It's Grindin' Time!"
With that, Izuku toss all of his rational thoughts and important lessons out of his head and charges towards the pack of kobolds.
Bakugou Household
Musutafu, Japan
"Damn it!! *Cough!*" Bakugou coughs violently as he slams the book into the wall. "Damn that villain! *Cough! Cough!* Not only has he fucking capture me!! *Cough!!* He ruins my fucking throat as well!!! *Cough!!!* Stupid heroes!! *Cough!!* A bunch of pussies!!! *Cough!! Cough!! Cough!!!*"
He stomps on the floor as he drinks some water before accidentally spitting some of it out as he coughs violently once more. He curses and throws his bottle into the wall out of anger, spilling the water around the room.
"Damn them!!" Bakugou growls before he starts coughing again.
"What's going on!?" Bakugou stiffens before turning to see his mother glares at him.
"Nothing!" Bakugou yelled before coughing again.
"Didn't I tell you to stop yelling or you only made it worse!?" Mitsuki expresses her disbelief as Bakugou growls.
"I don't have to listen to you, old hag!" Bakugou growls.
"Oh, sure. I'll just ignore your coughing till you can't say a word." Mitsuki sarcastically said as Bakugou growled but said nothing. "Get some rest, brat."
"I'm going to train!" Bakugou gets up but is stopped by Mitsuki placing her hands on Bakugou's chest.
"No. You will rest." Mitsuki said as Bakugou growls. "And you're still grounded."
"Grounded!!?! All because of Deku!?!?" Bakugou roared before he coughed again.
"Call him by his name or just call him 'Midoriya'! I rather not hear you call him in that disgusting nickname!" Bakugou tch'ed and look away. "Don't 'tch'ed' me! I mean it!"
"Whatever." Mitsuki stares at her son with a sad expression, wondering how the two kids who wanted to be heroes together ended up like this.
"What happened to you two? You two used to be close." Bakugou stared at his mother for a while before scoffing and looking away. His next words made Mitsuki realize how big her mistake was for not making sure if Bakugou was surrounded by a positive influence.
"He's a quirkless loser. There's no way I'll ever befriend someone like that."
Back with Izuku
"Hah...hah...Rewards Window..." Izuku can be seen sitting on a pile of corpses while muttering as he presses the button on the screen, specifically at [Status Recovery]. He felt his fatigue disappear and his wounds healed.
"Can't believe I leveled so much..." Izuku said with a grin before he pulled something out of his inventory. "I finally get it..."
[Mana Proficiency (Unlocked) - Lvl 1]
[Allow users to increases mana points and reduces the mana usages for any Active skills]
[MP increases: 10%]
[MP Consumptions: -10%]
[Required: Intelligence 25 or above (Requirement Meet)]
[Silver Fang Blade]
[Rank: D]
[Increases Attack by 10 when attacking]
"This is a huge upgrade," Izuku said with a grin before he tried to swing his sword with a similar technique he did when watching the video. Izuku felt it was wrong due to the difference in length before he adjusted it.
He made sure the sword moved swiftly, but precise. Light but powerful. He practiced a bit to make sure the movement was steady. It took him a while but he finally gained a notification.
[Congratulations! Your actions have earned you a new skill!]
[Basic Sword Technique - Lvl 1]
[Passive: If using a sword, the damage inflicted on your enemy will increase by 15%]
[Notice: Basic Short Sword Technique is a branch skill of Basic Sword Technique. Would you like to fuse both skills into one?]
[Y/N]
Izuku blinked at the screen. He didn't expect the system count branch skills. He shrugged before pressing 'Y'.
[Congratulations! Basic Sword Technique gains 10% Extra EXP]
"Wow..." Izuku deadpanned as he stared at the screen. He was expecting more, but alas, he can't complain. He then checks his equipment before noticing a '!' icon on the fur capes. He raises his eyebrow before pressing the icon.
[Notice: Dismantling items are now possible. Would you like to dismantle [Fur Cape]?]
[Y/N]
"Dismantle...? No...don't tell me..." Izuku pressed [Y] and the cape in his inventory glowed. Izuku pulled one out of the inventory and saw a tattered fur coat. He checked it and he felt his eyes twitch in annoyance.
[Fur Coat]
[Rank: Material]
[Worth: 10 Golds]
"It was this shit the whole time!?" Izuku growls and tightly grips the coat. He went to the fusion options and pressed yes as the coat disappeared and Izuku's wrist started to glow before a fur gauntlet replaced his gloves. It slowly disappears in thin air.
"Finally!" Izuku grinned before he gained a notification.
[Set: Barbarian]
[Set Bonus Effect 1(3/5): Health increasedby 5]
[Set Bonus Effect 2(5/5): Physical Damage Reduction 5%]
"Cool!" Izuku said excitedly before getting up. "Alright! Time to grind more!"
Izuku tosses his now broken short sword away and changes it with his newly acquired Silver Fang Blade. He continues to dive deeper into the dungeon before he notices several short humanoid monsters with green skin, pointy ears, long fangs, and ugly ass mohawks, wearing nothing but leather loincloths.
[Ferocious Goblin]
"Whoever named this truly lacks creativity." Izuku deadpanned before he saw one of the goblin charges at him. Izuku stabs its gut with precision before he swings his sword, tossing its body away. The goblins saw their ally get tossed casually, and start to shake in fear. Izuku points his blade as he takes a stance.
"Let's see how far can I go." As Izuku said this, the goblins roared and started mindlessly charging at Izuku. Said boy simply cuts each one of their heads off and thanks to increased senses and agility, he manages to dodge all of the goblin's attacks and kills them with ease. It's no longer a fair battle between humans and monsters. It's a massacre.
[Notice: You leveled up!]
[Notice: You leveled up!]
[Notice: You leveled up!]
[Notice: You leveled up!]
Izuku saw the multiple screens popping in front of his eyes. To think killing a group of goblins would increase his level by 4. He turned around and saw the glowing red eyes in the shadow. Izuku gets rid of the blood in his blade and faces the glowing eyes.
"Come at me, monsters."
