3 Chapter 3: A New...weird World

Looking around the house I found nothing of notice or importance besides the emptiness and the old age of the building.

What I did find however was some broken glass from a clear bottle.

Grabbing a large piece of Glass I looked at my reflection.

I was a small child with short black hair, red eyes, and a malnourished and feeble body.

I was surprised to find that I had red eyes, which does not exactly seem like a normal eye color...

I was wearing a ripped-up t-shirt that was covered in dirt and grim and wearing dirty jeans and shoes that were close to falling apart.

Throwing away the glass I sighed before heading for the door of the house I was in.

Stepping out of the house I found myself in an old neighborhood with a few different people walking about.

They all looked like thugs and some even looked...inhuman in a way.

For example, one had green skin, another had long blade-like claws, and another even looked like a humanoid lizard.

What the hell is wrong with this place...?

Keeping my distance from the strange-looking people I walked along the street and found that I must be in some kind of suburban area outside a large city.

In the distance, I could see many skyscrapers and planes flying in and out of the city.

Eventually, I reached the city and neared some kind of playground with a bunch of kids bullying a young green-haired kid.

Getting annoyed by this...disgusting scene I approached the boys who mocked the green boy while a kid with spike hair hit him with small flames exploding from his fists causing the green-haired boy some small bruises and small burns.

Walking over to the boys I shouted righteously "Leave him alone!" in Japanese.

Wait...did I just speak Japanese?

I only know how to speak English, so how can I suddenly speak Japanese?

Ignoring this, the spiked-haired kid with flames exploding in his hands looked over and shouted "Get out of here, I am teaching this quirkless loser a lesson!"

"Don't care, this is my final warning, leave him alone or face the consequences," I stated with a glare.

Hearing this the hot-blooded boy gnashed his teeth and yelled "Make me," as he charged at me with his strange exploding fists.

Suddenly as his fist came barreling towards me I felt a strange sensation warning me about the attack, is this the [Quirk: Danger Sense] skill I have?

Moving my head slightly to the side the boy's fist flew past my head before I grabbed his wrist before pushing my back up against his chest and pulling him over me and slamming him to the ground causing him to get the air knocked out of him.

Looking back over to the other boys I noticed that they were backing away in fear.

"Get out of here and take him with you, otherwise your next," I warned them with a glare.

Watching them pick the hot-blooded boy up before running away I looked over to the green-haired boy and reached out with my hand.

"Come on, let's get you up on your feet," I told the boy.

The boy looked up at me with a bruised face and body and grabbed my hand.

"I am Damian, who are you?" I asked, introducing myself.

"I-I am Midoriya! D-Do you have a quirk?" He asked with clear interest.

"I think so, I believe it's called 'Danger Sense'," I answered.

"Danger Sense? How does it work?" Midoriya asked.

I just shrugged, "I think it's pretty self-explanatory," I answered.

"Anyway, where do you live? Let me take you home," I asked the boy.

"I, I live over there..." He told me pointing to an apartment building.

"How....where did you learn to fight like that?" Midoriya asked.

"I am self-taught," I lied.

As we walked to his home we talked and he discovered I was homeless and starving.

And being the good boy he is, he offered me some food when we arrived at his home.

Apparently, his mother was at work and he was alone at home and decided to go play at the local playground.

Getting me some food from their fridge Midoriya finally asked "Why did you help me?"

"Why not? I despise bullies and felt like helping," I told him as he kindly gave me a sandwich.

After I ate two sandwiches and talked with the boy, Midoriya some more I learned quite a bit about the world.

It's like the Earth I am used to but for some reason, the people of this earth have things called 'Quirks' which give them abilities and mutations that can drastically increase a person's lethality by giving them abilities such as enhanced strength, the abilities to control flames, and even abilities that allow them to change their own bodies.

This was a world of literal 'Superheros' and 'Villians'.

Although for some reason they label common criminals as 'Villians' as well which doesn't make any sense to me.

And from my talks with Midoriya, I could tell that he desired to be a hero more than anything but due to being 'Quirkless', he is looked down on by society.

So I made a deal with him, I will teach him how to fight and train him to physical fitness and in return, he will pay me with a meal.

He was excited about this and before his mom would arrive from work I decided to leave.

Thanking him for the meal I soon left the apartment and found that I needed to start making money, I needed money for food, water, better clothing, and if possible a weapon.

If this world is as dangerous as it seems I don't think my fist is going to be able to keep me safe in this world.
