1-The Emperor

I had fallen asleep at around midnight as I had been up to through a rough week of finals. I drifted off to sleep a few moments later without any trouble whatsoever. I felt as though I had slept the whole night, waking up with a groggy and heavy body, only to realise I'm much smaller.

Anyone would think they're in a dream with how I woke up, but it was somehow all real. I sat there for hours thinking to myself, not even taking time to think about what is happening, instead, I was to process the memories that weren't mine that had seemingly been placed in my head.

I can't remember what happened to me before all this, only that I know I was Damian Goodmen, a thrill-seeker from Queensland Australia. But now, I had taken the place of one Raiden Mishimoto, a four-year-old boy who suddenly died from fatal arrhythmias, a medical condition that can result in the victim just suddenly dying.

My parents are Haruto and Akari Mishimoto, both tech majors at Kiwi, this verse's version of Apple. I hadn't developed a Quirk yet, but that was probably due to me just turning four and soon entering Kindergarten where such things primarily occur.

I didn't know how to feel, I had hours to contemplate this and so much more. I cried for a while due to the haunting thought of never seeing my loved ones again. My depressed state was shoved to the side of my subconscious as the sun began to peek over the horizon, putting a small but still present smile on my face, a sign that we move on and heal eventually.

"Hello," An aetherial voice that came out of nowhere says, spooking the shit out of me and making me fall of the bed and hit the floor hard.

"Apologies for frightening you, it wasn't my intention" The voice which is hard to decipher as to whether it's male or female. "Oh, and before you ask, no, you are not currently in a dream," The voice says.

"W-What the fuck is going on..." I ask in confusion.

"You are currently laying on the floor as I speak to you," The voice says.

"Right, and what does you talking in my head mean?" I ask with concern.

"Well, you are not insane. I am a Helpful Vocal Assistant, or HVC for short" HVC says.

"Holy shit this is real..." I say with shock.

"Indeed"

"Well...how about Jarvis instead?" I ask with a shocked tone.

"Very well, that shall do nicely," The voice says as it also changes its voice to match that of Paul Bettany, a welcome change. "Say, sir, would you like to open your Starter Stand Pack?" Jarvis asks, leaving me puzzled as I think of the one thing he could be possibly referring to.

"Starter what now?" I ask

"Starter Stand Pack sir, here, I shall activate it for you," Jarvis says as what looks to be a gacha wheel appears, then proceeding to spin for a few moments before stopping on 'The Emperor'.

"Ah yes, The Emperor, a symbol of hierarchy and power, may this firearm serve you well sir," Jarvis says as light flashes infront of me and a pistol falls, hitting the bed with a slight bounce.

I look at the pistol that is a hybrid of a magnum and a semi-automatic pistol with shock, slowly picking it up, admiring its pristine finish and build of the weapon, as well as its hefty weight of around a kilo.
