Musutafu Police Force Department
Musutafu, Japan
In front of a Police Department, a tall but skinny messy blonde blonde-haired man can be seen standing in front of him, coughing some blood as he enters the building. When he entered, the police saw him and greeted him.
"Ah, Yagi-san." The man, Yagi, turns to see a man with the head of a cat, wearing a police uniform, greet him.
"Hello, Tamakawa-san." Yagi greeted back as Tamakawa grinned.
"Seeing Tsukauchi again, huh?" Yagi chuckled and nodded. "I'll never understand how you guys even become friends."
"We share a few things we are interested in," Yagi said. "But, I'm here for business. All Might has asked me to talk about a few incidents that he might've missed."
"Ah, I see," Tamakawa said before looking at Yagi from above to the bottom. "Why didn't you retire? I think your conditions are not a right fit for any office work."
"I love my job, Tamakawa-san." Yagi half lied. He does love his job, but he just wish there's less paperwork. "And I'm still able to help All Might despite not being his sidekick, I think it's not something I can't give up. Although, he has told me many times to retire and stop straining myself."
"Ah, that makes sense. But, I think you should listen to All Might. Helping people is good, but not at the cost of your health. You'll only end up saving fewer people." Tamakawa said as Yagi internally winced. He simply nodded. "Tsukauchi is still in his office. I guess you don't need me to guide you there, right?"
"Yes." Yagi nodded as he walked away. He sighs before coughing, spitting out more blood. He takes a handkerchief from his pocket and wipes the blood off. He found an office with Naomasa Tsukauchi written on the door. Yagi took a deep breath before opening the door.
As he opened, he saw a black-haired man in a white dress shirt, black trousers, and a black tie holding a folder while sipping his coffee. The man turns around and brightens up, placing the folder on his table.
"Toshinori, didn't expect you to visit today." Yagi chuckles as he closes the door.
"Sorry for not announcing my visit, Naomasa," Yagi said. "A lot of things have happened these few days." This causes Naomasa to frown.
"Yeah, and it gets worrying," Naomasa said as he gave Yagi a folder. Yagi held it and opened it, saw a lot of contents in there. A lot of police evidence pictures are shown in the file. Most of them are corpses. each was caused by different things.
"Frostburn? Clawed by beast-type quirk? Decapitated? Naomasa...what is this?" Yagi asked as Naomasa sighed.
"A lot of things happen underground, Yagi. Things that limelights were unable to see." Naomasa said as he sighed. "We were still unable to figure out who was behind this, and we were desperate enough to ask HPSC to help with this situation. It manages to work, no more victims and the cases have remained dead 15 years ago."
"Did you know what they did to handle this?" Yagi asked as Naomasa shook his head. "Don't you think it's suspicious?"
"I did. And the recent cases didn't help at all." Naomasa said as he pulled out another file and gave it to Yagi. He did and opened it, seeing a familiar photo of the green-haired boy. As Yagi reads, he froze when he saw where the incident happened.
It was right at the sewer under the bridge, where the Sludge Villain was captured.
"This...this happens there...?" Yagi asked in horror as he shook violently.
"Yagi?" Naomasa asked as Yagi held his head in shame.
"I...I caught the Sludge Villain 5 days ago in the same place where this happens..." Yagi said as Naomasa widened his eyes. "I...I didn't notice there was another victim there..."
"I see...but there's something weird about this case that I can't ignore," Naomasa said, catching Yagi's attention. "Try to read the next page."
"What?" Yagi was confused before he turned the page and he grew confused. The pictures say that the boy was covered by his blood, and his clothes were tattered, but other than that, he seemed fine.
"It seems that the boy got beaten badly by a villain, yet he was completely healed. What's more confusing is that he is quirkless." Yagi froze and turned towards Naomasa.
"Don't tell me..." Yagi mutters in horror.
"No...we check his condition again, still no sign of quirk." Yagi sighs in relief. "But, the weird thing is that the police guarding the boy when he's unconscious told me they saw two HPSC members visiting him and then left in disappointment."
"What made them interested in young Midoriya?" Yagi asked while raising his eyebrow.
"With how he recovered from whatever injuries he might've got, I wasn't surprised if they're interested, probably hoping the boy saw who was responsible for healing the boy?'" Naomasa answered unsurely.
"...should we keep an eye on him? Making sure whoever did this to him won't come back to finish the job?" Yagi asked.
"I would love to, but it's not a decision I made. And the police force has stretched thin to patrol around the area, making sure the villains didn't claim another victim." Naomasa said.
"Should we get some heroes to participate in this?" Yagi asked.
"I know what you're suggesting, and my answer is no," Naomasa said, causing Yagi to wince. "It's not that we didn't appreciate it, it's that heroes are the biggest topic discussed in media. If a group of heroes starts to patrol in different areas, you know how crazy the media will get. Especially you, All Might."
Yagi, or as his hero name called All Might, sighs in defeat. Naomasa was right, if limelight heroes start to change the patrol route, it'll attract too much attentions as the medias are too nosy to not understand the word 'privacy'.
"Is there nothing I can do to help?" Yagi asked, sounding so helpless.
"Is this because you want to help or is it because of guilt?" Yagi's flinch is enough to tell Naomasa everything. "Don't beat yourself too much. No matter how much of a hero you are, you're still human. Not to mention what happens..." Naomasa looks at Yagi's left stomach as he winced.
"...*sigh* I guess..." Yagi was unable to get rid of the thought. He knows the boy is okay now, but after what he learns earlier, he can't stop thinking about it.
Kobold Camp, Galewind Agency
Musutafu, Japan
Clang!!
Izuku grits his teeth as he feels the gravity pull him downward. He is blocking a huge greatsword from the kobold boss using [Mana Blade, but he keeps getting pressed by the sheer strength of the dungeon boss.
'W-what strength!!' Izuku thought as he struggled to push the sword away before he saw a fire appear from the huge kobold's paws. He widens his eyes in horror as the flame makes contact, sending Izuku flying and burning his shirt and his jacket.
[Notice: You received damage! -271 HP]
'That much!?!?' Izuku caught himself as he landed on the ground roughly, using his sword to stop himself. He barely ducks as the giant wolf monster appears in front of him and launches a huge burst of flame. As the smoke cleared, Izuku saw the boss was about to swing its greatsword down. Thanks to increased senses, agility, and years of analysis, he manages to roll away.
The greatsword made a huge crater on the ground as Izuku rushed towards the opponent and used [Mana Blade] to slice the boss. It only manages to graze the monster as it growls and swings its sword towards Izuku, who jumps and lands on the sword before trying to stab his head. The kobold chief saw this and used its fang to bite the sword. Izuku widened his eyes in shock as the boss swung its head to the side, sending Izuku flying.
The kobold roared and launched a powerful fireball at Izuku. Izuku was unable to do anything but cover his head, as the fireball hit him and exploded, launching him into the tree.
[Notice: You received damage! -619 HP]
"No shit!" Izuku growls as he gets up quickly before he has to duck from the boss's powerful sword swing, cutting several trees behind Izuku. Izuku takes this chance to get out of here using [Sprint] and keeping his distance from the boss.
"Damn it...the boss was more than just a hulking barbarian!" Izuku panted as he winced at the burn marks on his arms and chest. Izuku looks back at the window and wince, noticing the health bar on his armor is yellow. "Because it's a mere D-Rank, I know it won't last forever, but to think a dungeon boss will be enough."
Izuku watches the humanoid wolf warily as it turns around and rushes towards Izuku. Izuku tries to block an incoming sword swing, but he is once more sent flying towards another tree. Izuku gritted his teeth and shakily stood up before he saw the boss rushing towards him again. He rushes away from the monster and uses the bushes and tree to his advantage, hiding from the monster.
"Fuck..." Izuku hissed as he looked back at his status window. He winced at the fatigue meter reaching 60 as he slid into the ground. "He's too powerful..." He looks back at the kobold looking around. "How much stronger should I get for it to be enough..." Izuku mutters as he slowly doubts himself. No matter what he did, the kobold simply shrugged it off and hit him tenfold. He can't help but feel like he's a Deku again...
Deku...the name given by his bully...how much he hated that damn name...
"Fuck...come on Izuku, get a fucking grip!" Izuku mutters as he shakily gets up from the ground. "You promise yourself...not to be weak again. For my dream...for my mom!" Izuku whacks his head hard as he takes a few deep breaths.
"Think, Izuku, use your goddamn brain! Power struggles are a no-go because you're still weaker than that whore in terms of raw strength. His head is well protected and so is his stomach..." Izuku then remembers something and facepalmed. "My skills, I got-!" Before he could finish his sentence, he got slammed by a giant sword from his left. Izuku bit his lips to stop himself from screaming, blocking the impact using both of his arms. It results in broken arms and his body being sent flying into another tree.
[Notice: You received a critical injury! -1742 HP]
[Tenacity - Lvl 1 Activated!]
As for the kobold boss, it seems to be proud of what it has done. It places its sword on his shoulder, admiring the damage it has caused to that puny human. It was about to walk away before-
"[Status Recovery!]"
The kobold snaps out of its thought and turns around to see the same puny human standing confidently, his body glows green as his injuries heal like it wasn't there. The kobold roared in disbelief, wondering what was going on. And why do the human's eyes suddenly glow green!?
"[Observe!]" After muttering that single word, Izuku made a huge maniacal grin as he grip his sword, coat it with [Mana Blade]. "[Sprint!]" He rushes towards the boss at great speed as the boss swings down its greatsword hastily.
And said target is the monster's crotch.
The wolf howls in pain as blood starts to explode from where Izuku stabs it, causing it to drop its greatsword. He grins as his eyes glow.

It starts the tradition of catching goblins and burning them alive while partying despite not knowing what they're celebrating. It's constantly in heat and always goes around to mate with his fellow kinds, be it male or female, or even a little pup.]
"You're very proud of your genitals aren't you, ya sick freak!?!" Izuku roared as he swung his sword upwards, creating a huge tear from its genitalia into its guts. The kobold roared and choked Izuku, who retaliated by headbutting it away, which he did successfully due to the boss constantly losing strength.
"Raarrgh!!" Izuku pulls the sword away and takes a stance. "[Critical Strike!]" Izuku said before letting a powerful jab right at the monster's heart, creating a large hole in its chest before it collapsed into the ground, and died.
[Notice: Congratulations! You defeated the Alpha Kobold Warrior]
[You received a reward!]
"To think your desire to constantly have sex with anyone will be your downfall," Izuku mutters before shivering. "And what the fuck is with the information!?! How much of a sicko this fucker is!?!" Izuku gagged before looking at the now-cracked sword.
"*sigh* It was good while it lasted." Izuku heard cracks as he looked down to see his invisible armors crumbled apart. "Same to you, incomplete barbarian set..." He then opens his windows to check the rewards.
[Item: Kobold's 'Elixir of Life']
[Rank: A]

"Holy shit!!" Izuku widens his eyes in shock before grinning widely. He has just hit the jackpot and he was over the moon. Izuku then notices something on the ground next to the corpse. He picks it up and gape.
[Runestones: Fireball]
[Type: Consumable]
[A runestone with the magic spell imbued in it. If you break the stone, you'll get a skill [Fireball] ]
"Fuck yes!" Izuku said excitedly before breaking the runestone. A bright glow emits from his body as a familiar green screen popped up.
[Fireball - Lvl1]
[Rank: D]
[Shots a fireball at your target. Has a chance to burn the target.]
[Burning Chance: 25%]
[MP Cost: 90 MP (Passive: Mana Proficiency)]
"Fireball!" Izuku grinned as the flame appeared from his palm. His grin wavered as he stared at his flame. "...to think I got the element similar to the two people I despise..." Izuku turns off the spell. "But, I'll make sure I won't fall the same hole they did..."
Izuku looked at the corpse before he finally got another notification.
[You have defeated the boss. The dungeon will be restored to its original state.]
Izuku saw the world glitch before his eyes as it turned into a completely normal-looking alleyway. He gets up and puts all the items into the inventory so he won't catch more attention given his clothes conditions are now.
"I'm so beat..." Izuku sighs as he walks out of the alleyway before noticing a lot of people crowded the street. Izuku looked confused at what they were doing before he saw something that turned him as pale as snow.
Right in front of everyone is a huge glowing blue crack, similar to the first dungeon he ever visited, and almost died from it.
