1 I Don't Want to Be a Hero

"Oh, brave hero, my world needs you to help defend it from a great evil. With the assistance of God behind you there will be nothing that will stop you from saving this world from this evil. Will you accept this mission to help save my world and its people from destruction?"

A man looked around him and saw a large being with angelic wings protruding from its back and a halo above its head looking down at him. It held a huge sword that looked to be as tall as a skyscraper with its tip embedded somewhere in the ground.

"Let me guess, you'll give me some sort of cheat ability to help me on my journey, and I'll use that ability to save the world. Is that about what is going to happen?" He scratched the back of his head looking straight ahead, not bothering to try and look up at the face of this huge being.

"So you are familiar with this scenario, are you? You are correct, I will give you the ability to choose any ability and I will grant it for you to use in assistance to this world." The being didn't move as it responded, the voice sounding like it was in his head.

"Yeah, no." He didn't bother hesitating to decline the request. He wasn't hero material, he's out for himself and no one else. The being went silent for a moment before speaking once again.

"Interesting, that usually works according to my colleagues. Humans are meant to be greedy and take power for themselves when it is offered to them. Why don't you?"

"Too much of a hassle. Being a hero means responsibility to help people, I don't want that." The man starts rubbing his finger inside his ear as the being once again goes silent. "Why don't you just let me go to hell or wherever it is I'm going, and you can choose someone else."

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. I can choose another champion, but I cannot send you away." The being still remained motionless as it explained, its voice on the other hand just sounded annoyed and frustrated.

"Alright, so send me to the world and choose a different champion. You don't even need to give me a power, just send me there as a regular joe and I'll stay out of your chosen persons way." The man started looking around the area, trying to find anything interesting to look at besides the big being.

"Unfortunately, that's not how it works either. Because I have taken your soul from where it should have gone your soul has been torn. The powers are chosen to fill in this piece of the soul that has been torn apart."

"Fine, give me the abilities of a Sonorosian." The man just thought of the first thing that came to his mind when he spoke about powers and that happened to be the Sonorosian alien species (Echo Echo) from the Ben 10 cartoon.

"An odd choice but I doubt that will be a problem. Just remember to stay out of the other champions path and there shouldn't be any problems." A portal opened by the sword of the being and the man made his way towards it but stopped before crossing.

"How will I know who this other champion is?" He looked up this time when asking.

"You should know of this world I am sending you to. In your world it was known as the 'My Hero Academia' world. He will enroll into UA in the Hero Course and replace one of the students there."

"Got it, see ya!" And with that he walked through the portal.

It's been around 4 years since I was reincarnated into the world and I have to say, nothing interesting has happened. I'm an orphan so I don't know who my parents are, but I do have a name from them; Shawn Mendes.

The group is going to get our quirks checked out by a hospital soon since we have all manifested them. When mine appeared it caused a big ruckus because there were suddenly two of me. The other kids were freaking out.

Also, I've decided that I won't become a pro-hero. As cool as it would be to run around saving people and having fame and glory, I can have fame and glory other ways. I actually intend to use my quirk to help me make music. Well, recreate music anyway.

I was able to access the computer for a small amount of time and looked up if there were any artists in the world that I knew of, but there weren't so I can use pretty much any music I want and claim it as my own.

Anyway, I haven't started writing down any music yet, but once I start school I'll do that. From what I know, that school has a music class that I can take and use that class to learn some instruments. I can use the other classes to write down the lyrics to songs that I can remember.

Right now I'm practicing with my quirk to focus on multiple things at once. Because I have the powers of a Sonorosian I also have their sensory web ability. Even if my clones are independent of me I still need to learn how to play every instrument I can because I can't keep my quirk active all the time.

(The sensory web ability is actually an ability of the Splixson's (Ditto) but I thought I might as well add this here.)

Well, I technically could but then I would be arrested for public quirk use. I'll figure out a way for me to use my quirk on stage but for now I should keep working on focusing on multiple things at once.

By the way, I never mentioned this, but I wasn't born in Japan, I was actually born in America if you could believe it. I guess that God wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to mess anything up by accidentally meeting his champion or something.

Fine by me, I could probably pick up Japanese easily but I'm a native English speaker, so this makes my life a whole lot easier. It also helps me with names, instead of being formal and calling each other by our last names we just use our first names.

Names aren't really a problem for me though, I don't really hang out with anyone at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an anti-social person, I just haven't made a connection that I think will last.

"Kids, come grab some dinner!" I heard the orphanage caretaker call out to us and we all got up and ran to the cafeteria. I sat with the other boys but not interacting with them unless they asked me a question. Food was finally served, and I ate with a vigor that would leave animals in disgust.

"Tomorrow we will have your quirk examined at the hospital, does everyone know who their buddy for the trip is?" The caretaker called out as the children were eating. We all nodded our heads, and I looked over at a different table where my buddy was eating.

A girl with a head of blonde hair and blue eyes looked over and caught my gaze and smiled at me. I smiled back, being polite, and she turned back to her friends. Her name was Taylor Swift. I know, I was freaking out too when I heard her name and that she was in my orphanage.

She was my buddy for tomorrow and she was pretty excited to figure out what her quirk was. Unlike most people, her quirk wasn't that obvious, but I figured it would have something to do with her voice as whenever people hear it everyone turns their heads.

Having finished my food I cleaned off my plate and walked back to my room. You know what, screw waiting for school, I'm gonna start writing some of the songs I remember now and show them to Taylor when I get the chance.

It's probably not a coincidence, but this Taylor also likes singing and music so I figured I could help her out here and there when she needs it. Who knows, maybe we'll even do a few songs together.

For now though I should start writing down some of the songs that I want to use and choose my debut song. My public debut won't be until I'm at least 14, but who says I can't do things online without revealing myself.

This online debut will have mostly instrumentals, but I might even release some songs that I'm fine with revealing to the world early. Online debut will be when I'm 6, that gives me two years to figure out how to play instruments and write down a bunch of songs that I want to perform.

I already have an idea of the first song that I want to post online and I have an idea to go along with it that will instantly skyrocket my popularity. I just need to figure out a way to make this work.
