[Dreamer] Chapter One

Many years ago, there was news that a baby that gave off light was born. Ever since then, superpowers have been discovered in various places, and time passed without the cause being identified. Before we knew it, the supernatural became normal, and dreams became a reality.

The world has become a superhuman society, and about 80% of the world's population now has some kind of special trait or power.

In this world swirling with chaos, the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired came into the limelight.

That profession was...Heroes!

And in this world, where having powers was incredibly important...I had none!

At a young age, I always knew that I wanted to become a Hero like my Idol, All-Might, the number one hero in the world!

But when I was in Kindergarten and examined to see if I had a Quirk, I was informed that I had no quirk because I had two joints in my pinkie toe!

[A/N: Not gonna lie, I still find it stupid that joints in their toes are the identifier for quirks...]

For the longest time, I was depressed that I would never be able to fulfill my dream, but as I grew older, I made a promise to myself that I would become a hero no matter what, even if I didn't have a quirk, to prove to everyone in the world, that even those without Quirks can become heroes!

I studied and worked hard, trying to learn everything I could about being a hero and heroes.

And even though I was bullied and suffered through the torment of Ka-chan and his friends, I never gave up on what I believed in!

And on the final week of Junior High, I was attacked and nearly killed by a villain and was saved by All-Might!

And when I asked for his advice on becoming a hero...he told me that it was impossible and should give up my dream...the very hero who inspired me to rise and fight to become a hero...is the very same one that told me that my dream was essentially futile.

And on my way back home, questioning my life and why I should even try anymore, I witnessed my Classmate and childhood friend Ka-chan being attacked by the very monster All-Might saved me from...it was my fault it escaped...I distracted All-Might, and the Sludge Villain managed to escape...

In a clear moment of stupidity, I, a worthless person without a quirk, thought I could somehow save Ka-chan and dashed passed the crowd of people and Heroes and straight toward the Villain.

Everyone gasped out in shock around me, but at the time, I didn't hear anything as I focused all of my attention on Ka-chan and the Villain.

I latched onto the Villain's side and began trying to tear the Villain away from the suffocating Ka-chan, but in the end, it was all in vain.

For every bit of sludge, I tore away from the Villain, more Sludge took its place, and the Villain's grip on Ka-chan tightened, before my eyes, I watched as the Sludge villain was about to kill my childhood friend...and I could do nothing to stop him...

Then suddenly, All-Might appeared and took out the Villain with but a single punch, leaving Ka-chan laying on the ground and gasping for air and me, in shock at seeing how easily he defeated the villain compared to how much I struggled...

I was then scolded for being reckless by the Pro Heroes on the scene, and from the crowd, all I heard was ridicule and contempt.

Realizing that I was useless and that my one goal now seemed impossible, I lacked the will to live...

So, that very night, I climbed to the top of a building and jumped, not wanting to continue living under the scrutiny and cruelty of this world.

In the last moments, before I fell to the ground, I noticed All-Might dashing towards me, only to cough blood and trip.

Then, for my final moments before I hit the ground, I looked upon the beautiful city and sky that seemed to glow at night. I let out a painful smile.

Then, only Darkness, as I felt my body smash into the pavement and my body break.

With several people witnessing the scene happen before their eyes, emergency services soon arrived and rushed the boy in critical condition to the hospital, where he was immediately put into surgery to save his life.

After a several-hour-long surgery, and Midoriya was in stable condition, his mother was finally allowed to come in and see him.

When she saw her son's body, she cried out in grief and fell down on her knees at the side of the bed, gripping Midoriya's hand.

However, she suddenly felt a warm and sticky sensation coming from Midoriya's hand. Opening her tear-filled eyes, she gasped as she watched what appeared to be countless wounds begin opening across her son's body before rapidly closing and opening again, in an endless cycle.

It didn't take long at all for Midoriya's bed and body to become completely stained with blood, and Midoriya's mom called out for help.

---

Meanwhile, a boy with green hair wearing only his underwear with a strange object in his arm washed onto a beach.

A wave of sea water washed over him, causing him to groan and cough out sand and salt water from his mouth as his eyes opened...and the panic set in.

---

As my eyes adjusted to my surroundings, I leaped to my feet and looked everywhere, panicked as just moments prior, I felt so much...𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯.

Now? I felt...strange.

Scanning my body, I blushed after realizing I was wearing only my underwear.

However, after turning my left arm, I was shocked to see a strange metallic object lodged in my left arm just below my wrist on the underside of my arm.

And when I tried inspecting it closer, a blinding light covered my vision, as a holographic screen appeared before my eyes, emitting from the object.

\----------=+=----------/

Other than that, there was a Crafting and Inventory to the left of the status, and to the right was a 3d picture of me.

Above the status, was a list of tabs.

The second was listed as 'Engrams,' the third was 'Tribe,' and the last was named 'Survivor Notes.'

Getting too distracted without even realizing it, I jumped after hearing what sounded like the mix of a bark and hiss, making an incredibly uncomfortable sound to the ears.

Quickly throwing my arm down, the screen disappeared, allowing me to see around with much greater clarity.

To my horror and shock, a strange reptile creature with feathers on the tip of its tail and top of its head with agile legs and short arms equipped with sharp talons and much larger than me was sprinting towards me...

I rose my arms to cover my face as the creature leaped into the air and crashed into me, sending me to the ground with its talons digging deep into my arms, causing me to scream from the horrific pain.

The flesh of my arms was torn and ripped away from my arms as the creature worked to get to my face.

Suddenly it bit into my right arm and to my horror, pushed me down harder, before pulling with its razor-sharp teeth.

I screamed in agony as it removed me from my arm and ate it in front of me.

Then I heard shouts and screams around me.

People!

The creature was pelted by arrows and thrown spears, killing it near instantly and throwing it off me.

Looking up with a daze upon my rescuers, I saw big burley and hairy men covered in scars.

"Fresh meat! Can I do it, chief?!" One of the men shouted in excitement upon seeing me and the creature.

"Shut it, let's have a closer look first," Spoke the largest man of the group as they approached me.

"Help...me," I manage to speak out, still feeling too much pain and shock and hoping I would be saved.

They come closer and began grabbing and prodding my body.

"Too scrawny, but with those wounds, there is no point in trying to fatten him up, tonight's stew is going to taste a bit fatty, but so be it, maybe we will get lucky tomorrow," The chief stated, before grabbing his hatchet, and swinging it down on me, causing me to scream before going silent, as the hatchet was embedded deep into my skull...killing me.

[You have been killed by Goli the Butcherer of Tribe: Pig Hunters]

[Respawning]

I screamed as I found myself washed on the beach once again, with all my limbs attached to me.

Little did I know, that marked my First Death...the first of many...
