Unbalanced Checker Board.

Once I recovered from the modifications from getting All For One, I took the quirks Warpgate and Decay from the two dumpster divers beside me, and made my way back home via the sewers, avoiding the police checkpoints set up around Yokohama to catch the terrorist who bombed the bar.

That'd be me.

And they failed colossally, given that I escaped, just like that.

Once I was back at the hideout, I cooked myself some nice rice and beans and a side of konbu kimchi I bought from a convenience store on the way.

Finally, after a shower, lunch and a day's rest, I began to plan in earnest.

I had this second chance at life in a world whose future I knew.

Now that didn't mean I could game the stock market or invent something awesome to become insta-rich. I wasn't that much of a genius yet.

But that did give me one idea. The idea that stoked my long dead ambition from my previous life. One that I was too cowardly to attempt in the real world.

World Domination!

I would climb my way to the top of this world and stand unopposed, ruler of the whole world.

After all, what else was there to do?

I was never a Deku simp or an All Might fanboy. And to be honest, none of the characters in the show held much real promise. They wasted the amazing potential of their quirks. But then again, so did most people in this world.

That was something I needed to change. But first, I needed a league of villains of my own.

And I had a roster ready for the game.

Target number one, the brainwasher himself, Shinso Hitoshi.

I hopped online and checked out his profile. Given that he wasn't the sort to have a fake or grandiose name online, he likely kept his bame the same on all social media platforms, hence, it didn't take long to find him.

Hitoshi Shinso. Student at Nabu middle school, Saitama prefecture.

Great. It's too far for my other plans to work.

No. I'll get him after he fails the UA entrance exams. When he is at his lowest, dreams shattered, before he can gather himself, I'll snatch him up in my web.

This is no time to waste on individual pieces like him. This is time for some aggressive moves. The board is too unbalanced right now. Especially so against me.

So I'm going to knock out some of the enemy's biggest pieces.

As the art of war says, if your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .

And right now, the most unexpected spot is the head of the snake and the figure of most intrigue that could cut my plans into ribbons of despair with a mere thought. And that is the man I must subdue first.

The one with the quirk of supreme intelligence and prediction.

That was my target.

Principal Nezu. And his quirk, High Spec.

A quirk so powerful, it let a literal fucking mouse go toe to toe with the best humanity had to offer.

And that was the fourth quirk I'd steal.

Because the third one I'd steal was Erasure from Aizawa.

Why am I counting quirks?

That's because the people who got the quirk All For One through a DNA infusion, like me, in canon could only copy and use a limited amount of quirks, that number being eight.

Since I didn't have enough data on this process and I didn't even know yet if I could copy more than eight quirks or even give other people any quirks, since I didn't have enough experience in using it, I wasn't going to take any chances about this.

The first eight quirks I copy will be the most important and high priority ones, just to be extra sure, in case I couldn't take more.

Then the question arises.

Why did I use this method to get AFO?

That would be because this was the only way to get it without ending up as a puppet of the original user of All For One, like Shigaraki did in canon.

When the user of All For One transfers quirks willingly to another, he also get the power to mind control them.

The only way around it is to be like Nine and get it via DNA infusion.

And that's how I chose to get it.

After all better safe than sorry and better sorry than dead.

With that said, I teleported to UA and went straight for the throat.

First, I ambushed Aizawa as he left his hero agency, in a flash, dragging him through a portal straight to the the Tokyo bay at a depth of 600 meters.

Immediately, showing his experience, Aizawa erased my quirk and attemlted r

to struggle out of my grasp.

Knowing his fate, I let go momentarily and watched him attempt to swim, before he fainted.

I could survive the pressure of course, albeit barely, but Aizawa couldn't, being a normal human.

I shot him up from a depth of 600 meters and watched his lungs explode with the pressure difference and his body get crushed.

Stealing his quirk, I buried him in the ocean floor before going back to the shelter.

There,I rested and recovered for an hour before teleporting into Nezu's office and decaying him to death, without even giving him the chance to think.

Stealing his quirk, I returned and retired for the day.

Tomorrow, I begin my training in quirk usage, before I went about the rest of my plans.
