Veni, Vidi, Vici.

{POV MC}

It's been four years since I've been living in this new world, or as I've come to know it as Japan. Such an amazing and beautiful place, rich history, mountains, forests, oh and of course their warriors; samurai. Now those were warriors, soldiers befitting of the title. Disciplined, loyal, and masters of their craft.

I have learned so much from them and still discover something new about them on occasion, such a shame that many don't adhere to their standards. Still, I've learned so much more about this world, since so much of its information is free and open to the public as long as you have wi-fi. Such a terrifying yet amazing place the internet, and a dangerous tool that has rules but doesn't.

But if there is one thing, I've learned it's that this whole world has deemed a hero called All Might to be the number one hero or the symbol of peace.

I mean that's great and all but he's doing it in a very poor manner as he is doing it all by himself. Sure, I mean there are other heroes, if some can even be called that, but there are other heroes doing whatever they can to help but it doesn't seem to matter. For a hero sure, All Might is a great hero… but as a symbol of peace no, he is too fragile.

"Ryuu, are you ready, it's time to go." I heard my mother call from downstairs.

"Yes mother, I'm ready, I'll be down shortly," I answered as I quickly finished tying my shoes with a firm tug.

What? Did you think my mother died; no, it was close though? Seeing her, feeling her touch, and hearing her voice was the only thing that made me cry that day… Wrong, second actually, being held by my father who had such love, care, and pride did also.

Living and growing up in such a loving family was something I never had or experienced and I would do anything within my power to protect that.

My mother stayed at home during the years I grew and took care of both the house and me. While my father was a soldier of the country, but was more in the engineering department of the research and development part as his quirk helped him there.

Closing the door to my room I rushed down the hall as a grin formed on my face as I saw the stairs and picked up my pace.

Only to hear mother raise her voice in concern for the umpteenth time. "Catch him quickly this time please, you almost gave me a heart attack last time," I laughed almost making myself trip as she was right, my head isn't exactly symmetric.

"What are you talking about, it's not like when it's your turn you don't do the same," I heard my father quip back at mother.

"I have no idea what you mean?" I heard my mother snap back as I reached the top of the stairs, almost making me mess up my timing as I saw the look on her face.

"Catch me!!!" I yelled, my face showing my happiness with the stupidest grin a child could have.

As I started to fall, I noticed both mother and father were still staring at each other instead of looking in my direction.

"Guys?" I questioned slightly, until I felt a firm pair of hands grab me in midair without looking only to slowly turn his face and reveal a big fatherly smile.

"Did my little dragon enjoy his flying today?" my father asked as he embraced me in a fatherly hug and rubbed my head.

"Yes father, it was the best! Mothers face was especially hilarious when I saw the look on her face, I almost fell." I answered laughing as mom decided to start tickling my ribcage, catching me by surprise!

"Oh, I wonder what my face looked like, hmm." my mother said as she continued her onslaught on my ribcage. Not stopping even after tears started to form in my eyes. As laughter, joy, and happiness escaped my body.

I just continued to laugh and look at my parents' faces in between tears of joy, wishing and wanting this moment to last.

Then I remembered about a certain ancient who seems to take his sweet damn time, as four years have passed and he still hasn't shown up, seriously I mean he is stupid old, as I think… I might have figured out who he is.

Like I said, I learned a lot here in this world, it's so much more advanced than my original plane. It's terrifying if you really think about it.

[Aw, so glad you're thinking about me, no seriously I'm glad, really.]

"Who in the fu… Ancient!?" I said, almost cursing while quickly looking around only to notice that I was in a different place and everything seemed to be frozen around me. And finally, to my horror I noticed my parents were gone! Before I could do anything, a figure started to melt into life right before my eyes.

[Don't bother looking around as this is a completely separate pocket of time] said the figure who melted into existence. He wore an ancient style of armor from a time unknown from top to bottom. The bottom half of his face was blocked by a mask that matched the color of his armor, only to reveal the hollow of its eyes.

[And yes, who do you think it was, Santa Claus, and before you ask yes, your parents are fine?] he spoke as he slowly placed his hands behind his back.

"They better be," I said as I mimicked his pose. "You should know what I intend to do otherwise, Polomos." I spoke with a small smirk on my face, "That's who you are right, Polomos?"

[I really did choose right, that's a name that hasn't been used in a long time, but yes. If you wish to call me that you may.] he laughed as he spoke, his voice thundering in the space around us.

"No, I'll just call you Ancient since that is what you are. So do I need to explain everything that I learned and saw through these four years or…" I asked in an impatient manner as I wanted to be with mom and dad. Ancient, shook his head in denial.

"Then what…!? Did you watch me all this time then!?" I said as I covered my chest, as a look of horror spread across my face.

[...]

…!?!

[No and stop covering yourself kid, I already saw what I needed to when I melted into existence.] Ancient spoke without any emotion.

[And besides if I really wanted to, you couldn't have hidden anything from me in the first place, so it's pointless.]

"Wow, a very powerful ancient war god and super pervert all in one I guess," I said mockingly.

"Still wouldn't that be something you don't tell others in the first place as that isn't very nice and quite invasive?" I asked as I started to think of any way I could to prevent anyone from doing that from happening to me in the future.

[Yes, the whole package, and I'm so ancient that I could care less of what others think, trust me if you ever get to whatever age I am certain things just don't matter, observe.] he spoke and did something that made me stunned!

[Even my own gender becomes pointless at a certain time as mostly being a male just suits me better at times.] Ancient said in a deep and husky feminine voice, then quickly changed back.

[Like I said, not that I mind, it's just that this form is the most convenient.]

I only nodded my head with a blank and bewildered expression as the whole conversation was something beyond my current comprehension.

"So, my reward, Ancient? Was my knowledge, information, and curiosity enough to satisfy a concept such as yourself." I asked in a serious tone with slightly furrowed brows.

My question was answered again with laughter that thundered throughout the pocket of space.

[Sorry, it's just that you look kind of ridiculous being so serious. I mean you are only a child,] he sighed before shaking his head, then his voice turned serious.

[But to answer your question, yes, it was very adequate for what I was looking for. If anything, I'll even include some information that'll be quite interesting for you though.] Then without saying anything he raised his hand.

I wondered what he was doing until I felt a very heavy and painful energy that seeped into my body and spread very slowly throughout!

I screamed like a beast, clenching my head as I fell to my knees! As scene after scene of slaughter, chaos, war, and people I couldn't really recognize. Until I saw a symbol of a proud and colorful eagle and a man who wore a proud expression that stood next to it. Making everything that I saw start to make a little sense.

[My gift or what you've come to know it as, a quirk, is called War Manipulation. It'll allow you to influence all forms of conflict; mental, physical, spiritual, and even conceptual ones at its peak. Its applications are numerous, but I'll let you figure those ones out as you grow, and for that additional bonus I talked about it's quite simple really, this world you are living in is from a manga/anime, but it's timeline and history has been changed slightly since you were never supposed to be born into this world in the first place…]

Ancient continued for a while but I couldn't even bother to care as the pain was something akin to my entire being, being torn, eaten, burned, and boiled alive all at the same time and worse.

I could go on and on but I'd rather not and focus on trying to live currently. Not even the fact that I wasn't supposed to be born in this world or it being from a manga made me flinch as I already accepted that this world is my home.

"What… is… the… price… for such a power?!" I asked in between my screams as whatever was happening to my body continued, as it continued to be racked with immense pain.

[Good, at least you've understood that everything has a price at least, especially a power like this. It's quite simple actually, there is a man I want gone, he has ignored my call and thinks himself above it,] Ancient spoke with a little anger in his voice.

[He calls himself All for One, that is all I'll give you as if I give you too much it wouldn't be that much of a challenge.] He laughed as he finished slowly melting away as he continued to watch me squirm around in pain.

My conscience started to fade as darkness slowly took over, with the last thing that I remembered was the screams of pain and horror of my parents as they looked over the top of my body, with tears flowing like a waterfall down their faces.

I swear! The next time I see that bastard! I'm going to break his fucking jaw!! I screamed inside my mind until a heavy exhaustion took over me. Falling unconscious in my father's arms.
