Daemon of Wrath: Yup, Shoto becomes Sillad's main choice of host, like how Orochimaru has eyes on Sasuke in the early arcs of Naruto (I realize the unintentional similarity…..an evil bastard offers power to a vengeful guy who has a bone to pick with a member of their family due to their wrongdoings….). And yes, Sillad manages to force-awakened Shoto through Mana Transfer, forcing the human body to accept mana. And yep, Rakan's main choice of host is Eijirou himself, due to his insane growth and strength. Also, it was one of the main reasons I made Awakened powers capable of growth; no powers come without risk. And I love your idea for Yomungunts' host. Yes, Eri was rescued early and Gang Orca did everything to stop the Trinity from killing him. Because Eri is no longer a victim of Overhaul, there's no Shie Hassaikai Arc and Nighteye got himself into even more trouble. As for Eri using the –kun suffix, it's more that Eri doesn't understand how suffix works due to how terrible Overhaul is, refusing to give her a basic education and forcing her to learn herself. Don't worry, Beru will be Eri's nanny, and expect her to speak in the historical drama, much to Izuku's exasperation. As for Shoto not wasting any time is due to his intense hatred towards Endeavor, and Trinity will grow even more stronger due to the huge threat incoming, while also dragging people to train alongside them. As for your additional notes, my god, your idea…..oh, I got to tell you, it's perfect, perfect! Everything down to the last, minor details!
Koutekuro: Thanks, and yes, Izuku and Ochako slowly upgraded their relationship with everything they went through! And yes, things getting ugly thanks to Shoto being Sillad's puppet. As for your P.S., sure, but my advice is to make sure to add some of your twists to make your story unique. Who's Era? And yes, they're preparing for future war. Just imagine Katsuki having an aneurysm, and yes, Eijirou tells Izuku about it, and his reaction simply raising his eyebrow in confusion. As for future Awakened, you'll just have to continue reading. And no, using Ashborn as Izuku's hero name will only make him seen as the second coming of Ashborn instead of the successor of Shadow Monarch and I don't want that. Yes, Yagi and Melissa were indeed lucky.
XLR8wuzhere: Nah, Shoto prefers injuring Endeavor badly rather than encasing him in ice and putting him in a cryo-sleep.
qtar1984: That's what I think as well, and yes, that's why I choose Melissa since not only she's quirkless, but her being All Might's unofficial niece made her the first person for him to consider, especially given that this version of All Might choose to properly retire and try to rekindle his old friendship with David Shield.
AnimeFan13579: Not exactly, the I-Island incident will still happen, but since David was no longer kept in the dark, Sam will be the one who caused the incident instead.
Whitemare: Eijirou will be Rakan's main host candidate, and Ochako will not be a Monarch. Her Constellation Spirits alone are OP in the current arc, and that's only what? 4 out of 88 Constellation Spirits in her possession!? If I turn her into Monarch, she'll be too OP! For your information, there's no such thing as a Celestial Monarch. Izuku's deadbeat father will make an appearance later in the story, but I will not bring Eri's 'mother'. Also, yes, the Alderas will make their appearance and get their asses handed in a silver platter. Also, out of curiosity, why Nagant and Eraser? Also, I still consider who Inko will end up being, but I won't be using a male oc. Also, sorry in advance, but Shadow Man is a very terrible choice of a hero name. And I'm telling you, I facepalmed when Horikoshi gives Ojiro 'Tailman' and Hagakure 'Invisible Girl' as their hero names! Shadow King is a good choice, but I want to give Izuku a more unique name, something that represents him more than just his awakened powers. Mina's an excellent choice as a Poison Monarch, but you won't see her being one anytime soon.
uchiha-rune: No problem, reader-san!
Few Days Later
Dagobah Municipal Beach Park
Musutafu, Japan
The Trinity can be seen running around the street at a high speed. Izuku merely runs with only his strength and stamina, Eijirou is in his therianthrope form running in all 4, while Ochako uses [Colossal Strength] to increase her strength and stamina. Each of their steps creates a trail of footprints dug into the ground.
"Hah, hah, h-how many laps do we need to continue to run!?" Ochako asks in an exhausted tone.
"This…..this is the last one…" Izuku says through heavy breath as they speed up for a moment until they stop right in front of the gate between the main road and Dagobah Beach. Eijirou turns back to his human form while panting as Ochako collapses onto the floor.
"R-remind me whose genius idea is it, asking us to run around the entire Musutafu 20 times at a high speed with either stamina alone or Magic!?!" Ochako roars incredulously.
"L-let's be honest, Ochako….a normal workout routine won't work on us….given how much our physical strength was enhanced…" Eijirou suggests as Ochako pouts.
"Hah, hah…..my normal daily tasks won't be enough, so I had to improvise…." Izuku sighs before he accepts the daily reward, which is a [Blessed Random Box] appearing on his hand. He opens it and receives a Runestone, causing him to grin.
"I….swear, that system is so unfair." Eijirou pouts.
"I…wish I was rewarded for my daily workout!" Ochako mutters.
"Here." Izuku toss the stone to Eijirou, who is surprised and catches it. "That runestone is for [Taunt] and you've been wishing for one, to fully embrace your 'Tank' role."
"B-bro!!" Eijirou tries to hug Izuku, but Izuku uses [Dominator's Touch] to keep himself away from getting hugged by a guy who somehow smells like a wet dog.
"Hey, isn't that All Might?" Ochako says as she points at the beach, causing the boys to turn around. And sure enough, they see All Might encouraging someone, a girl older than them with long blonde hair and a pair of aqua-colored eyes, wearing a pair of glasses, a black tank top, and a pair of sports shorts, as she runs around the beach while panting heavily.
"It is, and who's the girl with him?" Izuku asks out of curiosity. "I don't remember All Might has a daughter."
"…..I can see the resemblance. Blonde hair, blue eyes…." Eijirou mutters.
"Wow….of all things I expect, All Might having a daughter isn't one of them," Ochako admits. "He has the aura of 'a forever single man'." Both boys chortle at Ochako's choice of words, shakily holding their laughter.
"O-Ocha! D-don't insult All Might!" Izuku says shakily, trying and failing not to laugh. Ochako realizes what she said earlier, and blushes in embarrassment.
"I-I didn't-!" Ochako covers her face as the boys can't hold it and laugh. This of course catches the attention of the number one hero and the mysterious girl, the latter is surprised at their appearance.
"Oh, young Midoriya, young Kirishima, and young Uraraka!" All Might exclaims, getting their attention. "I didn't expect you three to come!"
"Hey, Yagi-san!" Izuku says before he jumps off the gate and lands on the sand gracefully, followed by the others. "You don't expect us to come here? What about you, Yagi-san? None of us expect you to train someone." Izuku looks at the girl. "My name's Izuku Midoriya, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"A-ah, right! My name's Melissa Shield, it's a pleasure to meet you too!" The girl, Melissa, returns the greeting. Izuku's eyes widen when he hears the name, and his jaw drops.
"M-Melissa Shield!? A-are you by chance related to David Shield, All Might's former sidekick when he was in the States!?!?" Izuku asks as Melissa nods. "H-holy shit! I-is that why you train her? For what? To be your successor as a Symbol of Peace?" This causes All Might to cough in shock while Melissa's eyes widen in surprise. The rest of the Trinity immediately approaches them.
"W-well, y-you can say that…." All Might says nervously. Izuku looks at him with narrowed eyes, feeling that there's more to it. Meanwhile, Ochako and Eijirou introduce themselves to Melissa.
"Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Ochako Uraraka! And this dork is our best friend, Eijirou Kirishima." Ochako says while pointing at Eijirou.
"I can introduce myself, woman. But, yeah. It's nice to meet you." Eijirou says while pulling out his hands to shake, which Melissa did.
"Nice to meet you two," Melissa says before she curiously stares at Eijirou's tail. "A tail quirk?" Izuku hears this and immediately looks at All Might with a raised eyebrow.
"You didn't tell her?" Izuku asks.
"W-well, given how I have dropped one of my secrets to her, I want to at least let her process slowly. I mean, I only managed to tell some of my secrets to her two days ago…."
"….." Izuku dryly stares at All Might, who looks away while sweating profusely. Before he could say a word, a surge of mana appeared causing the Trinity to tense up and turn around to see a swirling portal right above the sand, making it look like it was a quicksand. The Trinity stares at the portal blankly, All Might look confused at the sudden appearance, while Melissa seems to be shocked at the sudden appearance.
"W-what…!?" Melissa mutters in surprise as Izuku sighs before pulling out [Balmung, Sword of Fate] from the inventory, further shocking Melissa. Izuku casually places the blade on his shoulder before jumping into the portal, causing Melissa to shout in horror and disbelief.
"W-What the fuck!?!" Melissa curses in English, causing All Might to cough at her cursing while Eijirou and Ochako sigh in exasperation.
"Don't mind it….this a normal occurance…" Ochako says in a blank tone.
"A portal appearing out of nowhere isn't normal at all! And why is your friend going in alone while you guys didn't do anything!?" Melissa exclaims in shock and panic. The duo stares at All Might with a dry expression, causing All Might to whistle innocently.
"You just have to leave her in the dark, do you?" Ochako says causing All Might to shrink in shame. Ochako sighed before she decided to explain everything about the world of magic and the dungeon, but also making sure to keep it short and easy to understand. As Melissa continues to listen to the story, her eyes grow wider and wider, her expression turns into utter disbelief, and her mouth gapes wide open, unable to process the entire explanation properly.
"H-h-huh!??!" Melissa mutters intelligently, her eyes comically turning into swirls, feeling a bit dizzy. Ochako can't help but wonder why she reacts like that.
"Ah…..this is one of the reasons why I haven't told her yet…." All Might mutters. "Melissa and her father, David Shield, believe in science more than any supernatural stuff, living on an island where there's a scientific explanation behind everything, so learning about the existence of magic makes her mind……short-circuit."
"….." Ochako stares at All Might in utter disbelief while Eijirou simply scratches his head in confusion, unsure how to react to such information. Not long after that, they saw a shadowy figure jump out of the portal before landing next to Ochako, revealing it to be Izuku himself. Izuku sighs before stabbing something into the sand, revealing it to be a giant scissor.
[κομμένη μοίρα (Kommeni Moira. Meaning – Severed Fate)]
[Rank: A]
[A pair of magical scissors made of Adamantine. It is believed that this is the same pair of scissors wielded by one of the Fates, Atropos, to sever the string of fate belonging to a mortal to end a mortal's life, but in reality, it's just a pair of magical scissors.]
[Effect: When imbued by mana, strength and durability increases by 20%, 40% if using the skill [Mana Coat]. Increases the damage dealt by cutting or slashing ability by 50%.]
[Weapon-Exclusive Passive: Severing Slash. Deals armor-piercing damage towards clothing-type armor]
[Weapon-Exclusive Skill: Bifurcate (0 MP) – Turns the scissors into a pair of scissor blades. The damages dealt with each scissor blade is 65% of the original damage]
"So glad that it was a low-level dungeon…." Izuku sighs before putting back the scissors into his inventory and turning around to look at Ochako. "So, is she fully caught up with the magic and dungeon?"
"I, uh, um…." Melissa mutters, her eyes remain as a pair of comical swirls as steams come out of her head. Izuku blinks owlishly at her reactions before looking at Ochako.
"Why is she looking like a computer getting blue-screened?" Izuku asks as Ochako sighs. He then looks at All Might who merely shakes his head.
Later
"I still can't believe magic is real…"
Melissa can be seen hanging out with the Trinity, each of them holding a cup of milkshake from a nearby stand as they all walk around the street of Musutafu.
"Trust me, I know how you feel…." Izuku chuckles. "You should see how I react to my magically recovered limbs. I thought it was a dream and I bit it hard!"
"Pfft!" Melissa covers her mouth, trying to hold her laughter.
"Don't worry about being rude, that stupid moment deserves a laugh," Ochako comments as Izuku pouts.
"Why are you so mean?" Izuku whines slightly.
"Because first, I am still mad at you for tricking me that I was going to pay for our first date. And second, you drag us to your crazy training regime. Lastly, you let me deal with blue-screened Merissa!" Ochako states.
"It's Melissa, Ochako-san." Melissa corrects.
"Details!" Ochako waves it off as Eijirou chuckles seeing Izuku grumbles.
"You lost the moment you and Ochako seal the deal." Eijirou teases as Izuku pulls Eijirou closer and starts giving Eijirou a noogie, causing him to laugh.
"So, you and Izuku-san?" Melissa asks curiously as Ochako slightly blushes.
"W-well….we have just gone on our first date yesterday….s-so…" Ochako stammers.
"Really? I thought you two already are, given how you two act like an old married couple and Eijirou-san saying you two 'seal the deal'." Melissa says in a teasing tone, causing Ochako to turn scarlet before turning towards Eijirou with a glare. Eijirou can't help but gulp before looking at Izuku giving him a sinister smirk, causing him to turn pale.
"H-hey, come on, guys. B-be reasonable here…." Eijirou stutters as Izuku locks his arms around Eijirou's neck before Ochako slowly ascends towards him. "C-come on, guys, this isn't fair at all!"
"You should know, Eijirou Kirishima," Ochako says sinisterly. "Life's not fair."
"N-no!" Eijirou panics as Ochako grabs both of Eijirou's cheeks and starts pinching them hard. Eijirou could only struggle on Izuku's grips while shouting in pain as Ochako continued to pinch him as both Izuku and Ochako cackled sinisterly. Melissa watches the scene unfold before bursting into laughter, getting their attention.
"I-I see many groups of friends, but none are as amusing as you three," Melissa says while wiping some tears escaping from her eyes. The trinity stops what they're doing before chuckling slightly, before seeing Melissa's smile slowly turn sad. "I wish I could find a friend like how you three do…."
"Well, why not?" Izuku asks, confusing Melissa. "I mean, we can be friends."
"R-really?" Melissa asks, a bit confused and hopeful.
"Like Izu said, why not?" Ochako asks with a grin. "Besides, this means I would no longer be the only girl."
"What about Hado-san?" Izuku asks in confusion. Given how Mirio introduces her and Tamaki to them and they hang out a few days after the entrance exam a few times, Izuku wonders if it means that Nejire and Tamaki count as friends.
"What about Hado-san?" Ochako asks with a hint of edge in her tone. She still remembers how the girl possessively claimed Izuku as hers and buried him in her chest.
"Never mind." Izuku coughs, not too dense to unable to catch the slight edge in her tone.
"Wise choice, bro. Wise choice." Izuku pushes Eijirou a bit with a deadpan expression.
"So, how about it?" Ochako asks innocently, acting like nothing just happens. Melissa can't help but slightly chuckle in amusement before giving them a small smile.
"I would love to…" Melissa says softly causing Ochako to cheer and hug her. Izuku and Eijirou smile at the scene as Melissa's smile grows larger. Suddenly, Izuku senses something nearby and turns around, narrowing his eyes. His reaction catches everyone's attention as they look at Izuku curiously.
"Izu?" Ochako asks in confusion.
"….I need to go to the bathroom, give me a minute," Izuku says, causing them to look confused. Without telling them more, Izuku immediately rushes off.
"But, Izu-bro, the toilet's over there…." Eijirou trails off as he points in the opposite direction. The three of them look at each other in confusion and slightly concerned before rushing towards where Izuku rushed off.
Alleyway
Izuku walks into the dark alleyway, looking around as his hand clenches slightly. He narrows his eyes as he sucks his breath and takes a step into the alleyway. He continues to walk while his head turns right and left a few times before he finally stops.
"… Why don't you all just come out…?" Izuku mutters. He was greeted with silence before a loud footstep on a puddle could be heard. From the shadow, Izuku saw a familiar face, a long brown-haired boy with 10 pairs of long fingers.
"Hello, Deku…" The boy snarls in anger.
"…..who are you again?" Izuku asks in confusion, causing the boy to facefault as snickers can be heard around Izuku. It wasn't that Izuku trying to be rude or didn't recognize him, but Izuku truly didn't remember the boy's name since Bakugou always calls him Fingers and everyone follows suit. Izuku wasn't planning to be rude, so he tried to remember the boy's name, but sadly he kept drawing a blank.
"I can't believe even you too, Deku!" Fingers snarls. "Are you so arrogant after getting into UA that you didn't bother remembering me!?!"
"…..how can I ever forget your face or even your quirk?" Izuku scowls, slightly irritated. He was at first feeling slightly terrible for not remembering the boy's name but now, all the feelings disappear in a flash.
"Are you happy now!?" Fingers says as he points one of his fingers at Izuku. "Because of you, not only everyone in Aldera was unable to complete their middle school, but we all got a goddamn black mark! All because we all choose to put a damn Deku in their place!"
If this is Izuku from 10 months ago, he would be quivering in slight fear at the boy slowly raising his voice while accusing him of a 'crime' he didn't even commit, trying and failing to say an apology before cowering in fear. Too bad for him, this is the Izuku who has faced death, came back to the land of living, fought tooth and nail to grow stronger, and now grants the power to command over death.
"Those are your damn fault." Izuku snarls back, causing the boy to take a step back out of shock. "Don't accuse me of your wrongdoing! I never ask you to 'put me in my place' but you choose to do it, for what!? Amusement? Disgust? Annoyance? Well, all I can say is congratulations, you fuckers, because karma's coming for you to pay your goddamn debt!"
"…." Finger is slightly speechless, unable to comprehend that Deku of all people not only talks back to him, but he also does it by trash-talking. He snaps out of his shock before growling at Izuku and snaps his fingers. Izuku sees one by one, familiar faces slowly appear out of the shadow, each activating their quirks. Izuku notices a rock-haired boy with rocks covering his hands, a black-haired boy with spikes coming out of his knuckles, an orange-haired girl with fires coming out of her hands, a spiky-haired boy with sharp teeth, and so on.
Izuku can't help but be shock, but not because of every bully in his class, *cough*the entire class*cough*. It is because his enhanced senses detect more and more people in the building, and slowly join in the crowd.
"Y-you bring the entire school here!?" Izuku can't help but voice out his shock. He didn't expect Fingers, Bakugou's former lackey, to manage to gather the entire school here, and judging from the anger he senses around the alleyway, he knows they all targeting him.
"Of course! All I need is to simply mention your name and they all joined." Fingers said with a grin before scowling. "Too bad some of them were too cowardly to even join in,"
Izuku silently looks around the alleyway, his hand clenches into a fist as he is slightly angered by each of the students. Thanks to his therapy and constant hanging out with Eijirou and Ochako, he knows these people aren't nice people, unlike his past self who naively believes they are and he's simply the bad person who 'deserves' it.
This time, he is no longer letting these people do as they please. This time, he is no longer being the doormat for them. This time, he's no longer the Deku who they use as a punching bag for their quirk. He is Izuku Midoriya, the Shadow Monarch, achieving his dream to become a hero.
"More like those people at least have a common sense." Izuku retorts. "Once you all got caught in trouble again, your next destination would be the juvenile center, you know that right?"
"Oh, please! Once we've done with you, we'll be long gone!" Fingers yells as everyone charges at Izuku. Izuku takes a deep breath before his hair starts to float and his eyes glow dark green and lifts his hand.
With Melissa and the Trinity
"Where did he go!?" Melissa can't help but ask in disbelief. "I swear that I saw him run towards this way! You guys saw it as well, right!?"
"Yes, Merissa. We did…" Ochako says while scratching her head.
"It's Melissa, Ochako." Eijirou points out but is promptly ignored by Ochako.
"But, seriously, where is he!? He rushes towards this alleyway, and then poof! He's gone!" Ochako complains in frustration.
"Did you try to detect him with magic?" Eijirou asks as Ochako freezes before facepalms.
"…..why didn't you use your enhanced smell?" Ochako mutters, slightly glaring at Eijirou.
"In my defense, this place stinks." Eijirou comments as Ochako stops glaring at him.
"Damn it…" Ochako mutters before closing her eyes.
"I am still trying to get used to that term…." Melissa mutters.
"Shush…" Ochako says before she smells familiar traces of mana. "Over here." They both follow Ochako toward one specific alleyway. As they reach there, their eyes pop out of their sockets in shock.
In the alleyway, there are piles of students either groaning in pain or unconscious. They notice visible bruises around the body, teeth on the ground, blood coming out of their mouth, and broken bones on each of the students. They look up and can't help but gasp.
At the top of the pile, Izuku can be seen sitting on the top, his hands clasped together as he places his elbows on his knees, head lowered down as shadow from his hair covers his face, and his emerald eyes glow in the shadow. They also notice that under Izuku is a boy kneeling, with all of his unnaturally long fingers broken at different angles and tearing up in pain.
"I-Izu!?!" Ochako was unable to hide her shock, especially after witnessing such a scene. This gets Izuku's attention as he looks at his friends.
"Before you ask, they're from Aldera," Izuku says. Ochako and Eijirou understand before glaring daggers at the pile of students while Melissa looks visibly confused.
"Aldera?" Melissa asks.
"It's the worst place that doesn't deserve to be called a school…" Ochako snarls in anger.
"I'm calling the cops," Eijirou says before they hear a whimper from under Izuku.
"Ignore him," Izuku says, a hint of coldness in his tone, which causes everyone to unconsciously flinch. "Tell them that an attempt villain ambush planned by a former Aldera High student." This causes another whimper. "I did say once you are caught in trouble, your next destination will be the juvenile center, remember? I give you a chance, yet you ignore it. Now, you reap what you sow."
Melissa can't help but be shocked. She saw that Izuku was a kind kid with the strength to back him up, given what Ochako and Eijirou told her. But, seeing it herself is another story, especially when a pile of students around them (based on her calculations, it's around hundreds of them) were the proof. She didn't know how powerful they all were, but not many people could casually beat hundreds of people. Yet Izuku, a boy 2 years younger than her, managed to do it.
She can't help but wonder if he's so strong, why Uncle Might didn't choose him as the new wielder of One For All but instead chose her? A small seed of doubt unintentionally plants inside her.
"Melissa?" Melissa snaps out of her thoughts before noticing Izuku lands in front of her. "You're okay?"
"M-me!? W-what about you!?!" Melissa hastily asks as Izuku chuckles.
"Mah, no need to worry about me," As he said that, Fingers slid down from the top while groaning and whimpering in pain.
"Is….he gonna be okay?" Melissa asks in worry.
"I don't kill them, if you're wondering. They just receive a bad beating." Izuku says as Melissa merely nods.
To be continued
