Chapter Text
"I'm sorry......but you can't be a hero without a quirk....." Those were the words said by her idol two years ago. Izu Midoriya still remembers them clearly. They were the words said by the number one hero, All Might...... That day was what she considered the worst day of her life. The day her dream died. After that, she just decided to give up on ever achieving something notable in her life. She decided it's not worth the effort on a world that actively tries to fuck with her.
She had no care for anyone in this world, except her mother. Her interest towards heroes faded, she became a recluse that kept everything to herself, she indulged herself more in things that entertains her like video games, anime, and manga. Heroes and villains meant nothing to her now. She only cared about living her life normally, perfectly content with no excitement.
"Nice day today...." Izu said as she took in a deep breath of the autumn air. "Yes it is, Izu." said her mother, Inko, who smiled as they took a stroll around the streets of Musutafu. Izu dropped out of Aldera as she didn't really want to be in an environment where she constantly gets belittled, bullied, and harrassed. She attended online classes and finished school early. Thanks to that, she gets to relax and spend more days by herself or with her mother.
"Mom, you want to try out the new Ice Cream place that recently opened?" Izu asked to her mother. She smiled at her daughter and nodded. The two then went for a delicious frozen treat at the new shop. The two continued their stroll after eating their ice cream. As they walked on, they bumped into familiar faces. A blonde spikey haired woman noticed them and waved. "Inko! It's been a while!" was what the blonde said. "Mitsuki! It's great to see you!" Inko said to the blonde. Accompanying her was a boy with the same hairstyle. He walked over and faced Izu who had a neutral expression on her face. "Izu." was what the blond said. "Katsuki." responded the greenette.
The two had a short stare down before the blond scoffed. "You're a completely different person to the one I knew." was what the blonde said. "You say that to me every time we meet the last few months." said Izu with a giant sweatdrop at the side of her head. "Only because it's true! You're nothing like that timid, shy and pathetic bitch you were!" said Katsuki which caused his mother to slap the back of his head. "Oi! Don't talk about Izu like that brat!" said Mitsuki angrily. "The fuck did you do that for, Old Hag?!" said Katsuki who angered his mother even more. "Why you little-"
Izu and her mother just stared at the shout fest the two were having. Izu just shook her head playfully while smiling. Despite his brash and arrogant personality, Katsuki was one of the only people that didn't bother Izu during her time in Aldera and helped her out a couple of times. Sure he didn't actively try to make what was happening to her stop, but she still appreciated his help. She heard that he was going to attend U.A soon. She hoped he succeeds. He'll make a good hero. "He'll do great there." is what Izu thought when thinking about Katsuki attending U.A. She smiled and sighed. This is one of the few moments where she could just relax and enjoy what few things she has. She hoped nothing bad will happen and that this day will continue norma-
BOOM!!!! CRASH!!!!!
The four were startled by the loud explosion that came from a building just a few blocks away. A large minotaur villain was fighting with a flying hero. "Just my luck..... a villain attack. Just great, I suggest we ru-" Izu froze when the minotaur threw a sharp pole aimed at the hero who dodged and was headed straight towards her mother. The instant she detected the trajectory of the pole, she pushed her mother out of the way, but it resulted with the pole going through her abdomen.
"Izu!" Inko yelled out in a panic. Izu felt her consciousness starting to slip away. "Hot....Why do I feel so hot?" Izumi thought as she felt her body weaken.....Confirmed. Heat Resistance acquisition successful "So.... this is how I die...Getting a pole go through my abdomen...?" Confirmed, Stab Resistance acquisition successful. Continuing..... Izu chuckled in her mind. "Atleast I didn't become another statistic for quirkless suicides.... Well, atleast I don't have to go through all the pain that I endured in my life ever again.... There's a lot of blood coming out...." Izu saw her mother scream for help and Mitsuki trying to assure her that she would be fine. Confirmed. Pain Nullification acquired. Creating body that does not require blood.
"....I feel cold now.....very cold...." Izu turned to Katsuki who was frozen in shock. Cold Resistance acquisition successful. Acquisition of Heat Resistance and Cold Resistance results in acquisition of the Skill: Thermal Fluctuation Resistance. Izu smiled and signalled to Katsuki to come closer. When he did and kneeled in front of her, she whispered something in his ear. "Katsuki, I want you to fulfil my dying wishes. Take care of my mother and....destroy my computer. Throw it in a bath tub. Make sure it's completely wiped." Katsuki just stared at her weirdly. Deletion of Data via Electric Current has failed due to insufficient information. Alternate Measure: Elctric Resistance and Paralysis Resistance are acquired.
"Really?! That's what you want as your final wish?!" Izu just chuckled and nodded. "The world must never know what I get up to, alright? Just....do it, please?" Katsuki just sighed and nodded. Izu smiled and closed her eyes. "This is truly the end of me.... I'm kind of hungry..... I'll take anything as a last meal. Don't think I have time though..... If I'm reborn, I hope I can eat anything....like a Predator." Unique Skill: Predator has been acquired. Izu then opened her eyes once more and stared at Katsuki. "Feel free to use my Quirk Notes by the way. I hope they can give you Sage advice on how to be Great hero." Izu smiled and saw a single tear fell down Katsuki's face. Extra Skill: Sage acquisition successful. Continuing......Unique Skill: Great Sage has been acquired.
Izu sighed and turned to her mom one last time. "Mom.....stay safe......I love you.... You were the only one in this world that I loved." She saw her mother distraught and her face covered with tears. She regrets having to leave her so early, but she hopes she can live on and that Katsuki can protect her. Izu then felt her consciousness slip away and her body went limp.
"This world was cruel.....If I get reborn, I hope I never return."
"W-Where am I?" was the thought that came to Izu's mind as she regained consciousness. She tried to see anything, but her eyes wouldn't open. "Am....I in a coma? Did they manage to get me to a hospital....? No... There's no way that I could've survived that long enough to arrive. By the time help arrived, I would've already died." Izu sighed mentally.
She then tried to speak, but it seemed like her voice disappeared. "I can't feel my limbs either....this feels weird." She felt her body touch something. "Is this.... grass...?" She felt the plant began to dissolve inside of her. "....Did the grass just dissolve inside my body?! What the hell am I?!" She tried moving around and she felt..... jiggly? "....Elastic, bouncy, had properties of both a liquid and solid....hold on." Izu then investigated her exterior to see if jer suspicions were true. "No way...I became a.....slime?!"
After realizing this, she started to get angry. "Is this some sort of joke?! Someone quirkless like me was already the weakest in my life, but now I become the weakest kind of monster in an RPG?!" Izu was furious before realizing something. "So....I did die then. My life as Izu Midoriya is over....I feel bad anout leaving mom, but I hope she can move on.....so, the universe granted my wish, huh? I asked to be reborn and now here I am.....as a slime."
Izu sighed mentally as she didn't have a mouth anymore. "Hmmm, this doesn't seem like my old world though. Did I get reincarnated into another world? Hmmm.... Well, I can't really do anything against this. I'm no longer a human, I guess I'll try and live the beat as I can in this new body."
(Switching POV to Izu Midoriya)
It's been a few weeks since I've been reborn. I might not be able to see, taste or smell, but this body is actually pretty cool. I don't need to eat or sleep to survive, and I don't feel tired at all! I'm just bouncing around, eating these weird grass. Why you ask? Because I'm bored....! Eh, who am I talking to exactly? Oh right, no one. I feel so lonely!
Hmm, I do wonder where all the things I eat go to. I haven't had any waste exit my bod- <Report.> Ah! What the fuck was that?! <Report: All matter that had been consumed is stored within the stomach of Unique Skill: Predator.> That voice! It's the one I heard when Iwas dying....! Uh, excuse me, but who are you Miss....? <Report: It is the effect of your Unique Skill: Great Sage.> I see...
Nice to meet you Great Sage! By the way, what is predator? <Unique Skill: Predator is a skill that allows you to ingest objects and analyze them from within your body. You can then acquire the skills from the object and once the analysis is complete, you can mimic the object as well. The Sub Skill: Stomach stores the objects you ingest. If can also isolate harmful objects that cannot be analyzed.> Wow! That skill sounds amazing!
Hmm, analyze anything I consume....Great Sage, can you analyze the plants I've been eating? <Analysis Complete. Hipokute Herbs- a valuable herb that only grows in areas rich in Magicules. Used as an ingredient for healing potions.> Magicules? <Magicules. A special energetic material found in all-> Uh, can you summarize it please?
<They are the Building Blocks of life in all magical beings.> Building Blocks... So this cave must be full of it! That must be why there are so many in here! So I can analyze these herbs by eating them, and then I can make potions with them right? <Correct.> Alright, time to devour all of them!
I went on a buffet of rich magicule filled hipokute herbs. As I did, I created plenty of healing potions inside my body. I stopped and took a break on a rock.....Hey, if those plants were special, does that mean this stone is too?! <Magistone Ore. Minerals that spend long periods of time within magicule rich environments. As these minerals continue to absorb magicules, they became magistone ore. These are incredibly valuable.>
Really now?! Then it's chow time! I continued my feast in this incredibly rich cave. I find more and more incredibly valuable materials the more I eat. Man, being a slime is grea- AHHHHH!!!!! I'M TUMBLING DOWN!! Oh, I stopped. Wait, NOW I'M FALLING! AHHHHHHHH!!! Ugh, I think I fell in water.... Oh crap, am I about to die by drowning?! I just got reborn! I don't wanna die that quickly!!
Wait, I don't feel like I'm suffocating. Do I even need air? Do I even have organs? Well, I guess I can't die from drowning. Still, I'm stuck in here..... Wait, I got it! I'll ingest some water and.....there we go! Now we're zooming! Looks like it worked! <Skill: Water Pressure Propulsion has been acquired.> Woohoo!!! Wait, I'm going to fast! Ahhhh!!!
.....I think I hit a wall... I didn't feel any pain though. <Report: You have acquired Pain Nullification. You have taken 10% of Physical Damage. Activating Skill: Self Regeneration> So I still take damage even if I don't feel pain. I'll be sure to remember that. Oh, I regenerated the damaged part of my body! Being a slime rules!
"Oi, little one. Can you hear me?" Eh? What was that voice? "You can hear me, can't you?" Is he talking to me? I can hear you but I can't really respond because I don't have a mouth. "Oi!" Listen, I'm sorry but I can't speak! "KUEHAHAHAHAHHA! I see, you lack the ability to speak.... since you're not cowering in fear, you must also lack the sense of sight, right?"
Wait you can read my thoughts? Well, yeah. I don't have eyes or a mouth. I can't see, taste or speak.... "Well then, how about I give you the ability to see?" Really?! You'd do that?! Oh yes ple- "However, I have a single condition. You must not be afraid when you see me and you promise to talk to me again. A good deal, yes?"
Yes, it's a really good deal! But....how will you grant me the ability to see? "The Skill: Magic Sense allows you to sense the magicules around you. If you detect magicules, you'll be able to see." Oh, I see! Alright then. I'll try to do so... OH WOW, I CAN SEE!! <Extra Skill: Magic Sense has been acquired> Wow, everything looks so gorgeous.....I see, I really did become a slime. Oh by the way, thank you- DRAGON?!
A gigantic and imposing dragon was who I was talking to?! I've seen Ryuko in her dragon form, but even that doesn't compare to this one! Oh, he's gesturing to get closer. Well, I did promise to talk to him after he gave me sight. I bounce over to the dragon.
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am the Storm Dragon: Veldora, one of the four True Dragons of this world! KUEHAHAHAHAHHA!" Man, that voice is booming. Uh, nice to meet you! As promised I wouldn't be scared and that I will talk you!
"Hmm, this is quite fascinating. Slimes are usually low ranked monsters devoid of any mind of their own. However, you seem to have a sense of consciousness. Are you a unique?" Unique? Uh, what do you mean by that Mr. Veldora?
"It refers to those with exceptional abilities that differ them from their own species." Well, I used to be a human, but I was unfortunately in an attack that ended my life. I woke up in this world and I found out that I became a slime.
"I see, you are a Reincarnated One." Reincarnated... So I really did reincarnated as a slime. "You came to this world in a very unusual way." Unusual? "There are those that came here from other worlds, but you are the first one that I know of that reincarnated into here. If you travel here with just the soul, it'll be hard to withstand the pain."
So there are those that came here, but not by reincarnation? "Yes, we call them Otherworlders. These Otherworlders receive special abilities when they enter this world." I see, I received my skills because of that. There might be some people from the same world as I came from....
I hope not."Oh? Did you not like your old world?" My old world was cruel. I hope I never return there. But, I do want to meet other Otherworlders! "What? You're leaving already...?" HE'S SULKING! Uh, I guess I'll stay for little while. I have nothing to do anyways.
"Really?! Then please, take as much time as you want!" Well, can you tell me about this forcefield that's around you Mr. Veldora? "Please, just call me Veldora. This seal here? It happened 300 years ago...."
"I accidentally turned a town to ashes." Are you sure that's by accident.... "Suddenly, someone came to challenge me. I may have.... underestimated them....just slightly. Though, I did use my full power in the fight. And I lost!"
But, you look so strong, Veldora! Was this person really that good? "Yes, she was. She was known as a Hero to the humans and received Divine Blessings." Hero..... I doubt it's like the heroes of my old world. Probably something like an RPG kind of hero.
"I succumbed to her Unique Skill: Absolute Severance, and then sealed me with Unlimited Imprisonment." So that force field is the Unlimited Imprisonment? "Yes, the Hero said she was a Summoned One." Summoned? Is that different from Otherworlders?
"Like Otherworlders, she also was from another world. However, she was summoned using a ritual that was held for several days and done by 30 or more wizards." How fascinating! This world is really like a Fantasy RPG!
"They are expected to serve as Powerful Weapons. To ensure they do not defy the orders of their summoners, a curse was imprinted on their sould using magic." What?! But that's so cruel and unfair! They shouldn't be subjected to that!
"Cruel you say? You said that your world was terrible to you, but I do not know on what extent. However, this world is about Survival Of The Fittest." Well, atleast that's understandable. In a fantasy world like this, I guess it's really dangerous out there...
So you were sealed by the hero and you've been here since then? "Indeed, that is correct. I'm so bored and lonely...." I feel bad for the guy, sure he said that he destroyed a town, but he's been here for 300 years with no one to talk to. In my old world, atleast I had my mom to keep me company....
Alright then, I've decided that we should become friends! "What did you say?! A mere slime dares to befriend me, the feared Storm Dragon?!" I never had any friends in my old world. You don't seem like that bad of a guy and you seem so lonely. Of course, if you don't want to-
"S-Stupid! I didn't say that I denied your request!" Aw, he's like a tsundere. That's kind of adorable. So Veldora, will you become my friend? "Hmm, I have decided. I shall be your friend. Be grateful for you have the almighty Storm Dragon as your friend!" Alright then! We shall now be friends!
I extend a little nub reaching out to Veldora. He extended his claw and we made contact. You know, it's kind of embarrassing getting excited about making friends, but I haven't had a friend for so long! My old life is behind me now, here's to my adventures in this new world as a slime!
Though, I wonder if Katsuki destroyed my PC? Hopefully he didn't see what was inside...
In the old world of Izu, Katsuki went inside what used to be her room. He went over to her computer. "So this is that computer she told me to destroy.... Well, she never said anything about me taking a peak. I'll throw it in the bath afterwards."
Katsuki sat down and opened up the computer. He found the password underneath the keyboard and he now had access to the secrets Izu Midoriya had on her computer.
