a different kind of hero
"Man my stomach still hurts." Denki kaminari complained as he and the rest of the class had just exited the gym. It was their 2nd day back after their summer break and they had just "experienced" how a program called a work study could help them improve, curtsy of 3rd year Mirio Togata.
"I hear you man, I hear ya." Eijiro Kirishima agreed while rubbing his stomach, something most of the class was doing. "What about you Izuku? You mad you couldn't face Togota?" He asked though he only got silence as an answer.
Confused, the class turned around only to see a smiling Mirio and Nejire Hado, a nervous looking Tamaki Amajiki and their homeroom teacher Shota Aizawa who had a look that was a mix of panic, confusion and pissed before running off to the school.
"Hey ugh, you 3 wouldn't happen to know what that's about or where a Izuku is, would you?" Hanta Sero asked, a nervous smile on his face. "Oh yeah it was awesome! He was walking and suddenly he was gone in swoosh!" Hado explained with hand jesters as Mirio nodded in agreement.
"Oh yeah, I guess he was really excited for his next class if he would teleport there!" Mirio finished with his smile getting even bigger.
"WHAT!?" Was the only thing the class could think to say causing Mirio and Hando to tilt their heads in confusion.
"Wait? So that's not normal?" Mirio asked in confusion.
"NO!"
Line break.
Izuku Midoriya blinked in confusion as he found himself in a dimly lit room sitting in a simple wooden chair. Across from him sitting in a fancier chair was a woman with blue hair, blue eyes and a blue dress.
"Ah hello young human and welcome to the afterlife. I am the goddess Aqua." The now named Aqua greeted him causing Izuku's eyes to widen. Was he really dead and was this really a goddess? "No. This is clearly still your body and even if you did die the Revive-Revive fruit would just bring you back." A wise voice said coming from one of his awakened devil fruit spirts.
The woman seemed to take his silence as shock so she smiled and continued. "Yes it's unfortunate but true. Your life has come to a sudden end." At this she looked at the book that had been setting besides her before starting going through names causing Izuku to sweat drop.
She kept going until at last she seemed to reach his name. "Ah, here we are Izuku Midoriya." She said before blinking as if realizing something before quickly looking back and forth from the book to Izuku at rapid pace. Izuku growing a little unnerved about this was about ask something when Aqua yelled.
"Oh it's you, your finally here!" She shouted in glee before throwing the book aside as she took a much more relaxed position in her chair. "Hey listen, sorry about that whole life coming to a sudden end thing as well as just snatching you up, but we gods have a little job for you." She finished in what she thought was a cute pose while not sounding apologetic in the slightest.
"So that's it the gods fucked up and need our help to fix it." A female spirt said amused while Izuku raised an eyebrow. "What exactly is this job your talking about?" He asked curious what kind of job a goddess could need him for.
Aqua hearing this grinned. "To defeat the devil king and his armies of course." She stated. "You see we gods have many worlds under each of our jurisdiction and sometimes a threat comes up that we can't handle on our own. So we ask deceased souls, usually male teenagers to help us. And usually it works." She explained before an uneasy look came to her face. "But this time.." she trailed off as her body started to shake violently.
Izuku raised an eyebrow. "This time it's to difficult?" He asked before actually jumping out of chair as Aqua seemed to burst as tears of anger suddenly flooded out.
"You're damn right it is! First it was just the devil king and his armies, and if it was just that then it could be manageable but of course it's not that easily! The remnants of the last devil king's armies roaming around, monsters forming entire armies to wipeout cities, dungeons coming out of nowhere and don't even get me started on the threat of a world war breaking out!" She finished in a huff before seemingly remembering she wasn't alone.
"So that's where you come in!" She said with her best winning smile. "With your strength, experience and will I know you can do it!" Aqua said trying to make it sound as tempting as possible. Izuku meanwhile was silently thinking it over, while the devil fruit spirts were talking it over.
"Are we really even considering this?! That 'goddess' is clearly hiding something and even if she isn't we have more then enough crap to deal with back in our own world." Fury said completely dismissing the idea.
"If the goddess of this world felt the need to call on outside help for this, we should at least see what we can do." A deep sounding man's voice argued.
"I say we do it. At the very least, we can use this to to test out multiple awakened fruits that we haven't yet." A sinister voice threw in their two cents.
Izuku meanwhile was thinking everything over, he actually wanted to do it, but there was one thing holding him back. "How long will this take? There's stuff in my world I need to take care of and I can't waste to much time." Izuku argued with Aqua just waving it off.
"Oh don't worry about that at all. Time moves much, much faster in this world then it does in yours. Years could go by in it and only a few hours will pass in your own. You won't even age since your body will still be on your old world's time." Aqua explained easing away the last of Izuku's concerns.
'Well, when she puts it that away, I really have nothing to lose.' He thought to himself before looking toward the goddess and nodding. "Alright, I'm in." He said causing Aqua to cheer.
"Yes! Thank you, you won't regret it! Now just a couple of things before we send you on your way! First we'll give you the ability to read, speak and write the multiple languages of this world." Aqua explained with Izuku nodding, thankful he won't need to go through the headache of learning entirely new languages. That's when his shoulders started glowing and when he rolled up his uniform's sleeves he found two symbols.
"Those symbols mark you as one of the god's chosen. See undead and undead magic are vehemently despised by the gods and there for the people who worship us. These symbols will say that you have our blessing to use them, so show them to a priest as soon as you can." Aqua explained as Izuku nodded before looking at the purple symbol. "Right, So is there anything else?" Izuku asked with Aqua nodding. "Just one last thing, we give those we send to this world an item or special ability, though given your powers I doubt there's anything we can give you."
"Actually there is one thing." Izuku said after a moment of thinking. "Could I get some kind of porch that can supply me with an unending supply of what ever currency I need that can't be lost or stolen?" Izuku asked with Aqua nodding. "Easily." She said as she snapped her fingers and a small coin bag appeared in his hand. With that Aqua stood up from her chair. "Hero hear my words. I know in my heart that it is you who will defeat the demon king and bring peace back to the world." Aqua said back in her goddess voice as a magic circle appeared beneath Izuku's feet.
However it was at this point that something clearly went wrong a magic circle also appeared underneath Aqua's feet as well, something she clearly noticed. "Wait a minute, what's going here?! Why is there one under me too?!" Aqua demanded as an angel appeared from above in a bright light.
"Lady Aqua." The angel greeted as she landed. "It has come to the attention of the council that you have been neglecting your duties as overseer for several worlds." The angel said with slight regret and slight disdain in her voice as Izuku looked at Aqua with a raised eyebrow seeing Aqua break Into a nervous sweat as she began to tremble. "W-W-Well you see as a high ranking goddess and have many important duties so I can't really be blamed for overlooking a few worlds." Aqua tried to explain only for the angel's features to grow more and more cold. "372 worlds. 372 worlds have fallen because of your neglect." The angel said her voice now matching her while Izuku looked at her shocked and appalled with even the spirts looking incuriously at her.
"But! But! But!" Aqua couldn't help but stutter as she tried to think of any excuse that could save her from punishment as the angel continued. "With that in mind it has been decided that you shall accompany the chosen hero in his quest and upon the Devil King's defeat and the world is truly saved you shall be allowed back." The angel announced as the two started lifting off into the air while Izuku looked annoyed as he watch the goddess have a breakdown. 'Looks like I'll be baby-sitting for a while.' He thought dryly before looking back at the angel.
"Hero, know the gods truly regret asking so much of you, but please fulfill the request and not just defeat the devil king but unite the world and save it from ruin." The angle pleaded and Izuku raised any eyebrow. Wasn't the job just to defeat the devil king? 'You know what? screw it. I might of well since I'm there." He thought as he nodded at the angel who seemed relieved.
"Thank you great hero know that the gods will grant any wish you have once you have completed the quest." The angle informed as the pair had just about reached the celling where a portal had appeared. "Now then I wish the both of you luck." She said as Izuku and Aqua where disappeared with a flash of light into the portal with the goddess crying all the way.
Line break.
It took several seconds for Izuku to get his sight back after going through the portal and when he did he saw that it clearly worked. The town they found themselves in a town straight out of a fantasy world. Izuku also noticed his outfit had changed, no longer was he in his gym uniform but now he had black boots, grey armory pants and a red shirt. "Well we're here." He said before turning to aqua. "Now where should we go fir-" He was cut off by Aqua who was in hysterics by now and tried to shake him violently while blubbering inaudibly
Izuku didn't appreciative this and with when swift chop to the head sent her collapsing to the floor. "Shut up already!?" Izuku ordered, his patience with the woman already at its limits. Aqua meanwhile just rubbed the spot where he stuck her while glaring at him with tears in her eyes. "How could you do that to me you jerk?! I'm a goddess remember!" She yelled at him only to cower as he glared darkly back.
"Yeah, a failure of one." He responded coldly, the 372 fallen worlds still fresh in his mind. It was at this point he noticed people where starting to stare so he took a deep breathe to calm down. "Look for the time being we're stuck with each other so let's just try to make the best of it. Now the first thing we should do is try and find the guild hall." He said. Izuku having watched played many fantasy anime and rpg as a kid he knew that much at least. "Where is that?" He questioned getting a blank look from Aqua. "No Idea." She said simply getting a disbelieving look from Izuku
Seeing the look Aqua got defensive. "What's that look for?! I'm a goddess, you cant exit me to know all the details of a simple town do you?" She asked with her arms crossed defiantly. 'Completely worthless.' Izuku thought with a twitch before sighing. "Come on, let's start asking."
Turns out it was pretty each to get directions and soon the pair was on the way to register at the guild. One the way, Aqua told him to just call her Aqua so people wouldn't know she was a goddess, Izuku agreed but silently felt it was unnecessarily. No one would but she was a goddess in the first place. Finally after about ten minutes of walking they had arrived.
'Not bad for a starting town.' Izuku thought. "Alright let's head in." He said getting a nod from Aqua as the pair opened the doors and stepped inside. The place was packed from Members talking about jobs to people eating at tables. "Welcome, if you're here to eat grab a table if your here to work head to the counter and see what's available." A waitress greeted them on the way to deliver food. Before the pair could move a man about 6'0 with a dark pink mohawk got up.
"Well look what we got here. Never seen you before, what's your business here?" He asked in a clear act to intimate the pair with Izuku not even blinking. "To defeat the devil king, what else?" He responded with the room going deathly silent as they all stared at him incuriosity. "The devil king? Are you serious kid?! That's suicide!" Mohawk said with a scowl on his face with Izuku just shrugged. "What ever happens, happens. That's not going to stop me from trying." He told the man honestly. 'Besides that's nothing compared to uniting the world and saving it from ruin.' He thought dryly.
Mohawk was silent for a second before grinning. "In that case, Welcome to that gates of hell! Registration is right up there." Mohawk told them his attitude doing a complete 180 getting a nod of thanks from Izuku who nodded and thanks before heading towards the first available window which was run by a woman named Luna.
"Welcome to the Aexis' Guild Hall. How can I help you today? " Luna asked after introducing herself. "We'd like to register as adventures." Izuku requested getting a nod from Luna. "Excellent now I'll need is the registration fee." Luna informed getting a nod from Izuku who reached into his new money pouch and got out the amount needed and gave it to the repressionist. "Excellent now if the two of you will place your hands on this crystal so we can get stats on your guild cards after you do that you'll be able to start leveling up and increase your stats." She said as she brought out a machine with a giant blue crystal in it connected to what looks like a needle.
"Okay, who's first?" She asked as Aqua stepped up and placed her hand on the crystal as it began to active and upon seeing her stats Luna gasped. "Wow your intelligence is below average and your luck is the worst ive ever seen but everything is way above average!" She revealed getting everyone in the guild halls attention. Hearing this Aqua smiled. "So does this mean I'm unbelievably amazing?" She questioned." "Amazing would be an understatement. The mage class is out since it requires intelligence but other than that you can be anything you want." She revealed shocking the guild.
"Well its disappointing there's no goddess class, but since there's not I'll settle for the Arc-Priest who heals her allies." Aqua declared getting cheers from the guild who started praising her and Aqua happily took it all in. Luna meanwhile turned to Izuku with a sad smile. "your turn." She said with pity that he was mostly likely going to be overlooked for his friend for a while. Izuku seeing and hearing Luna and knowing what she as thinking about simply rolled his eyes and placed his hand over the crystal and waiting for his results.
Aqua meanwhile was beyond thrilled at being praised and it was made even better that it was people from one of her Junior goddess' town. 'Maybe I can try and covernt them.' She thought greedily seeing that even a Eris' priest was praising her.
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
That shout shut everyone up as they turned and saw Luna going over Izuku's adventure card like she couldn't believe what she was seeing while the boy in question looked annoyed at having attracted a crowd. "What's wrong Luna?" A red haired waitress asked a little nervous since Luna rarely losses her calm. "It's his stats! They're all beyond maxed out!" She yelled getting gasp from the rest of the guild while Aqua seethed as the attention was being taken away from her.
"Is this really that big fo a deal? and what do you mean beyond maxed out?" Izuku asked with Luna turning to him surprised."Of course it's a big deal Lord Izuku! to max out one stat is amazing but you seemed to go beyond max for all of them is beyond belief!" She told him and Izuku cringed at the lord part. "As for going beyond max, simply look at his card!" She said where she show'd everyone his stats with each one having 1000+ next to it. This seemed to be the breaking point as the crowd rushed forward and surrounded him. Izuku looked towards Luna for help but the woman was already heading towards a staircase shouting she'd be right back.It was then the crowd reached him with everyone talking at once.
"I cant belive how strong you are man! First an Arch-Priest and now you? What a day!"
"Yeah when you first came in talking about drafting the devil king I though you were spewing shit, but you might actually be able to do it!"
"He's so strong and he's just starting out! I don't even think Kyoya has maxed out a single stat yet and he's gone beyond it with them all!"
Through all of this Izuku wasn't paying attention to any of it, instead he was talking with the devil fruit spits. 'So Im guessing your the reason my stats are so high.' He asked. 'Probably. Remember with all of our experience, memories, and knowledge plus all the abilities you wield it shouldn't be that surprising this is the result. Though I would still be careful there could easily be someone else like this in the world and while they may not match you, you should still be cautious. The drowned advised getting a mental nod form Izuku who tuned back in to what the group was saying.
What the adventures were know discussing was what class he should take. Some where saying Crusader, others saying Sword master or Arch mage." If I may make a suggestion." Luna's voice suddenly was heard quieting everyone down. Seeing this Luna continued. "In regards to your class Lord Izuku, why not go with the Calamity class." She suggested getting confused looks from everyone having never heard of this class before.
"Yes the Calamity class." Luna continued bring coming to one of the tables and placing a piece of paper down with everyone crowding around to see it. "The calamity class is without a doubt the strongest class there is. It's honestly like a jack of all trades master of all kind of class. And it's only available to those who's maxed out every stat." She explained getting wide eyes from everyone. "There are only 2 classes that rival it the World Champion class that requires one to max all physical based stats and Sorcerer Supreme class which requires you to max out all magic based stats.
Both are easier to reach but neither are as powerful or useful as the Calamity class." Luna explained with the crowd nodding understanding now why they've never heard of any of these ranks before turning to Izuku who seeing the looks nodded. "I'll take it." He said simply getting cheers from the guild with Luna happily registered him before handing him back his card. "Thanks, now what kind of jobs are available?" He questioned wanting to get started immediately.
Luna along with the rest of the guild wasn't expecting this question was silent until someone spoke up "W-W-Well there's always IIIfang the Kobold Lord." Someone suggested weakly and everyone turned to see a young man with blond hair and a black mole under his left eye. Seeing everyone's eyes on him he stuttered. "H-H-H-Hey he's a problem isn't he?! He's moved in to the one cave we can safely transport supplies through, and no adventurer strong enough has come back yet to deal with him and his minions yet. So why not him, the now strongest guy we've got?" He questioned with everyone thinking about it as they slowly warmed up to the idea.
"I mean he has a point.""Yeah we cant keep waiting for Kyoya to solve this." "If he wants to try and has the skills I say we let him have a go at it.!" The last one finished with a cheer getting cheers from most of the room as well. "Wait, wait lets all calm down now!" Luna said trying to calm everyone down. Personally she didn't want this to be Izuku's first mission. True they had needed that route clear so they could trade and move goods again and they gathered a ton of information on IIIfang thanks to countless adventures trying to attack them, but the problem was they all ended in failure with some of the adventurers not making it back.
She was about to to turn and tell Izuku he didn't have to do it but that's when she felt a hand on her shoulder and looking up she saw it was the man himself." Lord Izuku?" She questioned with Izuku looking down and asked a simple question.
"Where do I find him?"
Line break.
"I cant believe your making us work the day we got here! I'm a goddess remember, I should have to do this!" Aqua complained for the 13th time since they left, wanting nothing more to get a bath, eat and sleep. "Then go back to axel." Izuku said distracted as he started at the skill he acquired.
Right of Conquest-Allows the user to summon any monster that these has killed. If the monster is killed during this time then the user must wait twenty four hours at the time of death before they can summon the monster again.
Hearing this Aqua growled. "I would if you let me use that money pouch of yours! I mean you know it cant' be lost or stolen so what's the issue?!" Aqua questioned. "It'd be to suspicious right know to just throw money around." Well use it to pay for what's necessary like housing and food and once we finish a few jobs then we can start using more." Izuku once again explained to which Aqua growled and then pouted out while muttering under her breathe.
Seeing the goddess pacified for now Izuku began to think over his plan for the upcoming fight. According to the information they had IIIfang was over two meters tall, muscular covered in red fur and had blood thirsty copper-red eyes. it's weapons of choice was a large bone axe and leather shield with a nōdachi weapon as a last resort. It was also much faster and flexible then it appeared to be apparently jumping of the the pillars and walls in a fast motion to confuse and blind side the enemy.
If that wasn't bad enough he also apparently had 12 minions called Ruin Kobold Sentinels. red Demi-human creatures with long thin ears sticking out of their helmets with each one having a long tail. Each one has been reported to have wear a heavy set of armor wich makes it's throat it's only weakness. Apparently half of them have maces and others have halberds.
'The problems going to be those minions of his. if I can get rid of them quickly IIIfang should go down way easier.' Izuku thought to himself. One would think Izuku would be hesitant to kill but with the memories and spirts of so many killers in his head plus the fact he was expected to kill the devil king. Izuku forced himself to put those feelings aside.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he turned to Aqua. "We're here." he said simply and indeed they were, turns out the cave wasn't that far from axis, an hour's walk at most. "Finally, Im exhausted! Let's get in there and get this over with!" She ordered getting a nod from Izuku. "Right you stay here, I'll go in and take care of this." Izuku order. "Excuse me, who are you to order me around?! I'm a goddess and an Arch-Priest, I'm going in with you!" Aqua yelled. "You'll just be in the way." Izuku said dismissively seemingly to further infuriate Aqua. "Look I may not have wanted to come here in the first place but now that I am I do intend to help you! Is that so hard to bel-!" "You'll still get your half of the reward!" Izuku cut her off knowing the real reason why she was insisting on going in.
"Best of luck in there Izuku!" Aqua cheered with a wink and a thumbs up immediately dropping the issue knowing she'll still get her money. Izuku just rolled his eyes and entered the cave before suddenly stoping. "Oh yeah don't stand in the entrance about the next 3 minutes."
He walked in while ignoring Aqua's demand to know why. After about 30 seconds of walking in darkness a light appeared in the distance and after another few seconds entered IIIfang and his minions' chamber. 'Bingo.' He thought before jumping down into the middle of the room.
Upon seeing him the beast roared with the minions pointing their weapons at him. Looking around Izuku spoke. "Afternoon guys." he greeted getting another snarl from IIIfang undeterred Izuku continued. "Now then, before what happens, happens I thought I'd give you one change to pack up your shit and piss off. So what do you say?" He offered. This seemed to be the final straw as with a roar IIIfang pointed at Izuku with his axe and them minions jumped into the air ready to cut the intruder down.
Izuku just shook his head. "Shame." He said simply before a great column of fire erupted from him blasting not only straight up but also out both entrances with a terrified woman's scream being heard in the distance. IIIfang had jumped back to avoid the fire watched his minions die as they were engulfed in the fire. However what the monster saw next wiped away it's anger and replaced it with confusion and fear as it watched the human In the fire gorw until it easily matched it's right and took on a much more demonic shape. It was then the fire cleared and IIIfang saw fully what Izuku had become.
This was the power of the Ifrit-Ifrit Fruit. "Now then." Izuku said sounding as demonic as he looked as he begun to walk towards IIIfang, each step leaving fire behind. "Let's try this again. Leave and live, or stay and die.?" He questioned his arms bathing in fire. IIIfang's whole body was trembling but it manned to put that fear aside and with a roar charged forward it's axed raised and swung down to lop of one of Izuku's arm's only to go straight through as Izuku fire emerged from it's wound.
Izuku chuckled at the monster's stupefied expression. Ifrit was a fire elemental, he was made of fire like those who ate the Flame-Flame fruit was. "Alright, My turn." He said before bringing his fist back and slamming his into the monster's face the impact audibleas the monster was sent flying leaving behind a trail of teeth and blood. When he hit the wall he was indented several feet into it the whole cave shaking as he was so and burying him under several feet of rocks from the celling.. Just when Izuku was going to go check to see if he was still alive IllFang emerged with a enraged roar, his face covered in blood with one of his eyes swollen shut and Nōdchi in his hand. Izuku in response, ignited himself covering himself in fire ready to incinerate the monster.
"IZUKU!" an enraged voice screamed as Aqua appeared beyond pissed covered in soot and ash, clearly not having listened to Izuku. "Just what are you doing in here!?" She demanded only to see the two monsters about to kill each other. Putting on her cutest face she clapped her hands together and bowed. "You're clearly busy. So I'll talk to you later." She said sweetly before turning tail and run. With her gone IIIfang charged forward hoping to cut him down only for Izuku to know it out of his before smashing his fist into the beast face sending him into the ground while the heat from his fist burned the monster even more.
Wanting to finish his Izuku created a spear of fire and aimed it at IIIfang's head but the beast jumped out of the way and landed against the wall he was first smashed into. Clearly desperate at this point he raced for his nōdachi however seconds before he could grab it Izuku appeared wielding his bone axe and aimed a strike for his neck forcing IIIfang to guard with his right arm. Saving his neck but having his arm cut off in the process.
IIIfang was at it's limit as it stared at Izuku with a mix of fury and fear and decided on final all or nothing charge. It grabbed it Nōdachi and turned only to come face to face with Izuku's palm, Izuku stared down at the frozen beast with no emotion. "Goodbye IIIfang the kobold Lord." Izuku said as a the cave was engulfed in flames.
A few minutes later Aqua poked her head in hesitantly. "Izuku you there?" She called out hesitantly only to find Izuku back in his normal form setting on top of the charged corpse of Illfang.
Izuku turned and smiled. "Hey there Aqua he greeted her as she looked over the corpse.. "So it's over?" She hoping the monster was truly dead. "Yeah." Izuku said as he looked down at his skill card and the new text under Right of Conquest.
Ruin Kobold Sentinel X 12
IIIford the Koblold Lord X 1
"It's over." He said with a grin.
To be contiuned
Well here's the first chapter of my new story. Honestly it's something Ive wanted to do for a while but just kept getting side tracked. Oh well it's here now and so I can only make it better.
Also I want to hear any suggestions you have may have about any charters or series you want to see in this story. It's going to be an massive x-over with Izuku essential building an army to face not only the devil king but a ton of other problems.
Yes Megumin and darkness well be in this story sightly with their characters altered just a little bit, so they'll still be the same characters. Aqua well also change for the better but you might not like what I have planned for her.
Also expect big changes to start after the dullahan is dealt with. but after that things will start to change.
anyway go check out the story that inspired this story. Blessed with a hero's heart by Magnus9284 over on Fanfciton.net it's amazing.
That's it for now till next time,
Bye
