1 The beginning

Masaru POV

Our house suddenly started to tremble. Pieces of furniture either begun to float up or get crushed and collapse in itself as the gravitational force seemed to explode in every direction.

"Masaru! Masaru listen to me and calm down!"

My mother called out to me but I barely heard what she was saying.

'What the hell is this...What the hell is the meaning of this?!'

My own thoughts, which at this point felt like a storm invading my mind, occupied my focus to the fullest, even to the point that I wasn't sure whether these were my own thoughts anymore.

"NOOO! This can't be! This isn't true!"

Was what I wanted to shout but the only sounds that left my mouth were high pitched screams. After all I remembered that I once had another life. A life in a world different from this one.

"Masaru!"

This woman, no, my mother pulled me into her arms, hugging me as if to protect the most fragile thing. Despite her exhaustion from using her quirk to reach me she once more activated it summoning a yellow light around us that formed a protective barrier.

"Masaru listen! Everything will be ok! I will protect you at all cost!"

In this situation she only thought about protecting me and not just physically as she spoke comforting words but to my ears, her voice sounded like it was fading away.

No matter how someone tells you that they will be there for you, how can you trust those words when they sound like they are getting further and further from you.

'Too much...'

Everything is becoming too much right now. I couldn't keep it together. Couldn't fight the splitting headache or all those images showing me again and again that I was someone else. In just twenty minutes I experienced twenty years worth of life causing me to feint in the end.

'...finally... it's quite'

Were my last thoughts as I willingly sank into a quiet place despite the darkness it held. Here I could sort out everything that just happened in peace.

My name is Kozuki Masaru and today was my 3rd birthday. It started off completely normal as I was eating cake and playing games with my mom when the piece in front of me suddenly started to levitate.

Out of nowhere, it left my plate, and after levitating for a few seconds it suddenly shot up and crashed into the ceiling.

"Masaru?"

My shocked mother called out to me, seemingly as surprised as I was but this was only the beginning as I felt my body being filled up with something. I don't know what it is but it soon it started to overflow and leave my body, causing strange things to happen in our living room. In a matter of minutes the reach expanded and our whole house was affected as things flew across the house or shattered under their own weight. But the worst thing was that my mother was suddenly flung into the wall breaking her arm in the process.

'...Is she even my mother...'

Doubt. It started to fill my mind after I saw those images, or rather memories.

'...not saw...experienced'

I had to correct myself. I didn't just watch those images I experienced them myself. Every emotion I felt, every thought I ever had and every regret that ever haunted me. Within 20 minutes I learned about my past life. It clicked inside my had, when the memories of the last few days before my death came to me.

'It's not fair...'

Unlike now, when I only have a mother, in my past life I only had my father. In both lives the respective other parent died shortly after my birth in an accident.

Back then I wasn't the best son, despite everything my father did or gave up for me.

'Even his health... and yet.'

My father was an orphan so he didn't have or rather didn't knew any family members that could have helped him where as my mother's family cut of all ties with us after she married my father despite their refusal.

The competition for good jobs in Japan was fierce and dad sadly lost it a few times to many but still... he did what he thought had to be done. Working at construction sites didn't yield the biggest wages but with overtime and extra mini jobs he somehow managed to offer me a good life where I didn't lack anything.

'I was such a damn bastard...'

At the cost of his own health he offered me everything my friends and classmates had. Branded clothes, technical equipment, pocket money... Everything came from him overusing his body out of love so how did I turn out to be a delinquent?

Starting since middle school I participated into fights and in high school I even joined a gang of thugs. All the time until my final year in high school, I was being an ungrateful asshole and disgrace even physically fighting with him when he tried to stop me.

The two good friends I made during my childhood. The one time I fell for a girl. I only regretted my mistakes when I was left with nothing. So I did the one thing I learned from my dad during all those years.

I finally did, what I thought had to be done trying my hardest to mend the relationships I broke. It wasn't easy. It really wasn't but in the end I managed it somehow. Family and friends. Even found a mechanic master who was willing to take me as a trainee.

'It really isn't fair...'

But none of that lasted for long. Just a few weeks later, on my 20th birthday, while waiting for the train at the station, someone pushed me from behind and the last thing to enter my sight was a transparent screen made out of light.

[Chosen world: BNHA]

[Quirk: Zushi Zushi no Mi]

[Generated cheat: Haki + training instructor]

[Added note: Better luck on your second try XD]

...

'...fuck you! I never wanted a second try. This isn't fair...I couldn't even repay them...'

I didn't understand what is going on, what that light screen was or who is behind this shit. Like this I spend the next few hours alone with my thoughts.

*A few hours later*

*Biep*Biep*Biep*

My eyes opened wide by themselves as soon as I woke up. An annoying sound and an unknown ceiling were the first two things I noticed. I would have asked something cliche like 'where am I?' before a nurse comes in but just by looking around it became obvious that I am in a hospital room. I was much calmer now, after I processed everything.

*Biep*Biep*Biep*

"..."

'If they really want to help the patients, why not start with removing these annoying things?'

*Clank*

"Hmm? Oh, good morning. I see that you are awake. Please wait for a bit, a doctor will soon come in."

Ironically, a nurse walked in that very moment but for some reason there was something that bothered me about what she said.

'Morning?'

Looking to my left, through the window, the dawn greeted me. So almost a whole day went by since yesterday. The nurse left after doing a quick check up, including taking temperature and pulse so I thought that the next person to enter would be the doctor but the door was suddenly thrown open and a woman rushed in.

"Masaru! You are awake."

Mom rushed in, instantly taking me into a bear hug but I couldn't resist after seeing her. The broken arm in a cast, her usually beautiful black hair completely disheveled and black rings under her eyes as if she didn't sleep the whole night. Her slight shaking and even though she tries to secretly wipe them away I noticed her tears.

Honestly my feelings were still somewhat complicated since I thought that I just lost my family and friends but the truth is, that it has been over 3 years now. 3 years during which I lived as Masaru. It might be a lot shorter but I haven't forgotten my new life up till now.

Besides there was something about her reaction, or about her care that strangely reminds me of dad.

"I'm sorry mom."

An apology was in order. Of course mom told me that it wasn't my fault and everything is ok, but I wasn't apologizing only for yesterday. It just felt like something that had to be said. I don't want to push someone away like I did in the past.

'Mistakes are made so we can learn from them.'

Around half an hour later, in which mom sat next to me on the bed, telling me stories about quirks and heroes and what not, the door opened again. A doctor came in doing final check ups and asking me question regarding my quirk.

While answering and telling him what happened yesterday, I noticed him and mom looking strangely at me from time to time but I didn't know why. Then it hit me.

Unlike the old OG's like One Piece and Naruto, I don't know shit about this world since I quit the anime after 5 episodes.

The main character was just to whiney! 'Oh no! I don't have a quirk!Bwawawa!''OMG! That's All Might! Bwawawa!''Oh I broke my arms and legs! Bwawawa!'

'Like Bitch shut the fuck up!'

But not knowing the plot might turn out problematic. Unlike my old world, this one is plagued by psychos and freaks and psychotic freaks! Having heroes protecting you is nice and all but for them to act a villain has to show up and act first.

'Damn! My new life might not be easy either.'

(AN: Hey everyone! Started my second FF! The setting and world is extremely different from One Piece, which is my first FF so I chose this since I felt it might be the right difficulty for me. Do say how did you like the first Chapter! By the way, I'll update whichever FF I feel like writing a chapter for. Hope you enjoy!)
