1 Beginnings

Tanaka Horikawa. If you say the name to an elementary school student even they would be able to tell you who he is.

The prodigal CEO of the online retailer giant, Spamazon. He's been making headlines ever since he got the job at the incredibly young age of 21.

Today, he's 23 years old in his office looking over the daily reports and stock markets for his company. Sato Yamamoto, the executive of the board of directors walks in.

*Tanaka POV*

"Hi Sato, what do you need?"

"Regarding the idea that you proposed at last week's board meeting, is there any chance of you withdraw it?"

I look at him with a slight smile.

"Sorry but that the best thing to do for the company. Not only it benefits us, but the stock market, as well as public opinion, would rise dramatically."

"I see... well in that case."

Suddenly I feel intense pain in my chest. I cough up blood onto my report and look up at Sato.

"The board decided that recently you've been doing too many risky moves and we have declared you a threat to the company. We all agreed that what you decided would benefit too many people, and honestly, we don't like it. The easiest way to shut you up was to kill you. For the past few days, we've been lacing your coffee with a slow acting poison.

No one will know anything and you'll "die of a heart attack." Frankly, I never really liked you. You cocky arrogant brat who thinks he's so special because he's mediocre at business."

He spits in my face.

"If you had decided to withdraw your suggestion, I would've had to give you the antidote. But thank god, you didn't. Enjoy the last few minutes of your life. Hahaha."

Out of the corner of my eye, I see him walk out the door.

'Well, this is it then. I try to do a good thing and I fucking die for it. God damnit. Everything I've worked for, gone.'

I fall out of my chair and hit the floor, the taste of blood filling my mouth.

'Damn it, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die. I've done so much to get here and this is how I go. Not yet, I still have so much to do.'

Tears fall out of my eyes as the light fades.

'Damnit. Damn it all.'

The light blinks out and my heart stops.

"Waaahhhh."

'What's that sound? Why am I so warm? Is this heaven?'

I open my eyes and see a brown-haired woman and a black-haired man looking back at me.

The woman has a weary smile on her face, "Your name will be Shiro, Shiro Hirota."

*Four years later*

So apparently, I've been reincarnated into another world. I don't know how I got here, but this world is very different from my last one. Apparently, there are superpowers called quirks, which allow people to do anything, ranging from super strength to pyrokinesis. I've also learned a lot about my parents.

My father, Dr. Leo Hirota, is a doctor and apparently, he's a very good one. His quirk is X-Ray. His eyes can see through walls, items, clothing, and the human body. Using his quirk, he's saved many patients and even treated celebrities and some political figures. Undoubtedly, that is a large key to his success.

My mother, Hina Hirota is a top chef and owns a chain of restaurants across the country. Her quirk is Bubble. She can make bubbles. That's it. Aside from her quirk, my mother is very good at card tricks and used to be addicted to gambling. She loves lots of card related things. Now she's just very enthusiastic about it.

I have yet to discover my own quirk, yet, but I get the feeling it'll be similar to one of my parent's quirk.

For some odd reason, my parent has brown and black hair, but I have silver-white hair. How in the biological hell does that work!? Since I kept retained my mind, I had matured quickly for my age, being able to talk pretty well when I was one and a half years old. I was also able to read very quickly.

Also, my parent are rich. Due to both of them being experts in their respective fields, they get paid well and we live in a large 2 story house with an unnecessary amount of rooms. There is a dining room, a lounge, a study, a master bedroom, my room, a guest room, and even an indoor pool.

One day, one of my parent's friends come over for dinner and bring their kid, who's around the same age as me.

Momo Yaoyorozu.

My parents are talking to the Yayorozu's while I'm in my room reading some of my father's medical books. With all these superpowers around, people are definitely gonna get hurt a lot. So ideally, the best way to make money is to become a doctor like my father. Depending on my quirk, I could become a hero, but with my parent's quirks, I probably won't be getting a powerful one.

Momo walks into my room and comes next to me.

"Whatcha doing?"

I give her a side glance, "Reading."

'She's pretty cute, but I guess most little girls are cute.'

"What are you reading?"

"A medical book about human anatomy."

"Can I see?"

'What's the harm? It's not like she's gonna kill me.'

"Here."

I pass her the book and she looks at it for a bit.

As she reads the book, I ask her, "What kind of quirk do you have?"

She looks up from the book and smiles.

"I found my quirk pretty recently, so I can't do much. But watch this."

She closes her eyes for a second and water starts to seep from her hand.

"You can create water?"

Shaking her head, "No, I can create stuff as long as I know how it's made. My quirk is creation, I can create stuff using my body mass. Since I know that water is made from oxygen and hydrogen, I can make water. The more complex, it is the harder it is to make."

"That's amazing."

'Damn, what a lucky girl. She got a quirk like this. She could destroy the money system.'

"What about you?"

My happy thoughts trail away, "I don't have one yet."

I had turned four recently so it's not a surprise. But still, it is a little disappointing that I haven't got mine yet.

My father had done an x-ray on my foot and confirmed that I have a second joint in my pinkie toe. At first, I was confused about what that meant, but later I was told that it meant it's confirmed that I will have a quirk, it just hasn't developed yet.

We talk to each other for a while and get to know each other. Meanwhile, both of our parents are at the door watching us.

My mom whispers to Mrs. Yaoyorozu, "Oh thank god they get along. I was scared that he wouldn't be able to make a friend because he's so mature for his age. Let's leave them alone for a bit, I wanna play poker."

My dad rolls his eyes, as they all head back to the lounge to get the poker set mom has.

At the end of the night, the Yaoyorozu's leave, and my parents have a chat with me.

"So we are considering sending you to school soon. But we know that your smart, so do you want to stay at home and do homeschool or do you want to-"

"I'd rather stay at home."

'Oh god, imagine going to school twice.'

My parents look slightly surprised, but they had expected it.

My mother continues, "Well that was quick. Since you're homeschooled, let's learn how to play poker!"

*One year later*

For the past year, I've been learning a range of subjects from math, to medical information, and poker. My mom has been teaching me how to play poker and how to do card tricks. Arguably the best home school.

Momo has visited a few times and we've grown quite close to each other. Every time she comes, she surprises me by showing me a new thing that she can create.

I lay on my bed reading a book about the study of quirks. Even now, I haven't developed my quirk yet.

"Shiro! Can you come down here for a sec?"

"OK!"

I put the book back on the shelf and head downstairs. When I get to the doorway, my arm gets pulled back and the book flies at me and hits me in the back of the head.

"ARGH! What the hell!"

My mom hears me and starts to run up immediately, "WHAT HAPPENED AND WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT WORD!?!?!?!"

But I don't respond, instead, I look at the book, which has a string of translucent pink substance which is connected to my hand. When my mom gets to me, she sees the substance and gasps.

"You've developed your quirk! But what is it?"

Immediately she rushes me to the hospital and we meet with a doctor. After inspecting it for a few minutes, the doctor hands over a file.

"This is what we've come up with so far. It appears his quirk is a gum-like substance that he can produce and control. So far we don't know much other than it's an emitter type quirk and that it is sticky and stretchy at the same time. We have similar records, but this is very different in its own unique way."

My father runs into the room, "I heard that Shiro developed his quirk!"

The doctor greets my father and continues, "So anyway, since it's a new quirk, Shiro can name it."

He then turns to me, "So what do you want to call it?"

I sit there for a moment.

"Can I name it at a later date? I want to figure out exactly what it does so that I can name it appropriately."

He smiles at me, "Sure, that's no problem."

My mother and I head back home leaving my dad whining at work, saying that he wants to see more of my quirk. Once we get home, my mom tells me that I can take the rest of the day off and play with my quirk.

First, I test the distance. Attaching it to the wall, I walk away until it snaps. Step by step, until the substance breaks. 6 meters.

Then I test its capabilities. I connect it to a ball and throw it. It flies around 5 meters before whizzing back and hitting me in the shoulder.

'That was painful but informative. I wonder can I make the resistance higher.'

Just like that, the substance got harder and less stretchy. I try to throw the ball again, but this time it barely goes two meters before coming back.

'Interesting, its complexion can change.'

I play with it for another hour and during that time I've learned many things. Firstly, It doesn't really have a permanent form. I can destroy it just by thinking and it just dissolves. I'm not completely sure how yet, but it isn't an actual material created by me. Second, I can mentally control the level of "stickiness" just by thinking. I can also change the texture of it to make it rubbery. Third, I can manipulate the shape of it and make strings and small walls by connecting it and spreading it out between my hands.

Fourth, it's extremely durable and flexible. Despite its stretchy appearance, It's pretty durable when I want it to. Fifth, I can connect it to stuff by touching it with either my hands and my feet. Lastly, I can take it off and place it or throw it.

Satisfied, for now, I go and look for mom.

"Mom, I think I have a name for my quirk."

"Well, what is it?"

"It's a surprise. Can I call the doctor to tell him what it is?"

She glares at me for a second, but little does she know that she activated my trap card.

'Trap card activated: Puppy eyes.'

'Its super effective.'

"Fine, but I want to listen."

"Deal."

She calls the doctor and hands the phone to me.

"That was quick Shiro, so what do you want to call it?"

"So I've tested it for a while now and can you change the description to it having the properties of both rubber and gum?"

"Ok, I'm updating it right now."

"My quirk is Bungee Gum."

AN: I hope you guys enjoyed this, I just wanted to write a novel based on this Idea and improve my writing skills.

Also, he doesn't have NEN, he just has a quirk that has the properties of both rubber and gum.

I have another web novel called, The Dragon of MHA, if you want to check it out. I probably won't upload for a while cause I want to focus on that one. But if a lot of people read this first chapter and like it, I may continue it.
