1 Reincarnation Into 'My Hero Academia'

"Where am I? Didn't I die?"

I was completely surrounded by darkness. I couldn't see anything and I couldn't feel anything. Only my consciousness was still intact. I still remembered what happened to me.

I died.

I was sure, I was run over by a truck when I pushed that little girl away.

"Haa~, I wonder why I'm so calm despite knowing that I died? Maybe because I wasn't really happy with my life?"

My name is Jayden Walker. I was 20 years old when I died. I was also an orphan and for whatever reasons whatsoever, I was constantly bullied in school because of that. As a countermeasure, I had to spent a lot of my time learning various kinds of martial arts for self-defense.

I must say, I was quite accomplished in Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Boxing, Jujutsu and more.

As I grew older, I was still not really capable of integrating into the society. I was rarely going outside and spent most of my time watching animes, movies and other shows, as well as reading mangas and novels.

Before I had 'that' accident, I was walking towards the market to buy some food ingredients for myself. It was at this time when I saw a cute little girl walking along the sidewalk while holding a pink balloon in her hand.

Suddenly, a fierce wind breeze blew over her and she let loose of the balloon. Unfornatuely, the balloon flew right across the street. The little girl immediately panicked and ran after it without looking at her surroundings.

I couldn't help but freeze for a second when I saw a truck speeding towards her direction. I instantly reacted and urgently rushed towards her. I didn't know why I was doing that, but my body was kinda reacting on his own.

I used all of my willpower to ran faster than I ever had. Some people around me had also finally noticed it, however, they couldn't do anything but to scream in fright.

My body felt lighter than ever. I barely reached her in time and immediately pushed her away. A millisecond after my successful rescue, I couldn't help but smile before ultimately getting hit by the truck.

People instantly rushed towards me. Some were frozen and horrified by what happened, some looked at me with grateful yet sad eyes, and also some acted rationally and immediately called the ambulance.

I didn't react to anything. All I could see was that little girl in front me who I saved. She was crying loudly. She seemed to be apologizing to me.

I didn't know what she said.

I could barely hear or see anything. I knew that I wasn't going to make it.

So, I tried to gather the last bit of the strength I had to squeeze out a smile towards the direction of that little girl, and said with extreme difficulty, "L-little girl, d-dont cry.. Don't t-think that it's y-your fault."

Still, despite hearing what I said, she was still crying.

I gritted my teeth from all the pain and somehow managed to weakly lift my arm up and put my hand on her head. She immediately stopped crying when she felt my touch.

"I..I don't have a-any time a-anymo..re. Listen. Please d-don't feel guilty about it. I h-hope, you w-will live y-your life hap..pily from n-now on. You w-will su..surely become a..spledid and b-beautiful woman.."

The little girl was violently nodding her head up and down. I smiled at her for the last time and I finally breathed my last breath.

And here I was. Surrounded by complete darkness. I was slowly getting sleepy. I didn't even know how much time had passed. Slowly, my thoughts drifted away and I let loose of my consciousness.

My 'soul' was slowly drifting away into the endless darkness..

When I regained my consciousness, I was still surrounded by darkness but something felt different. I felt some liquid touching me. I didn't know what it was and before I could think more about it, I was slowly getting pushed into the light.

The light was blinding and I felt coldness touching my body, so I couldn't help but let out a cry, "Waaah..", but contrary to my expectations, the words didn't come out the way I wanted.

"Oh~, look at him, he's so cute and adorable."

I heard some people talking and touching me, so I tried to squeeze my eyes open. What I saw left me frozen.

Giants.

That's all I could think about. The people around me grew nervous when they saw me stop crying. It took me a few seconds to gather my thoughts.

Tall people. White clothing. My inability to speak.

'Reincarnation...really???'

I was a freaking baby. Now, that I know I was reincarnated, I started crying again, so that they won't give me these nervous looks again. Meanwhile, I should also think about what exactly was happening, right now.

"Congratulations! Here is your boy, Ms. Jin. He is completely healthy." the nurse handed me over to the woman lying on the bed.

Her and my eyes connected. She was breathtakingly beautiful. She had long, black hair and dazzling blue eyes. Her face was stunning. She was clearly my mother. She looked at me with warm and loving eyes.

When I saw that, I froze. I felt something that I never felt before.

'Love? Is this motherly love?'

I couldn't help but cry for real this time. My mother, a little bit startled by my outburst, pulled me closer to her embrace. I felt her warmth and calmed down. I showed her my brightest smile I could pull off as a baby, right now.

Seeing my smile, my mother also couldn't help but tear up a little bit, until suddenly someone barged into the room and destroyed this wonderful moment. I was disgruntled by this interruption but chose to forgive that person after I heard what he said.

"Honey, are you okay? How is our baby?"

A handsome middle-aged man with short blond hair and blue eyes could be seen standing in front of the door. He was approximately 195 cm tall and had a slightly, bulky build. He wore a white shirt, dark blue pants and black shoes. He obviously seemed to be my father.

"Shut up, don't be so loud or do you want to frighten my little baby?!" my mother reprimanded him with a fierce gaze.

My father instantly shut up and began to sweat heavily seeing his wife's fearsome expression.

'Oh~, seems like he is quite afraid of her, even though my mother looks like an angel.'

Oh boy.. How I naive I was.. In the near future I will experience exactly what he felt at this moment.

My father sheepishly walked over to the bed and held my mother's hand.

"Look how cute and handsome he looks. He totally has your and my genes." my father chuckled.

"Hm~, yes, he is wonderful." replied my mother happily.

Right then, the nurse came over and asked, "Again, congratulations Mr. and Ms. Jin. Do you already have a name for your child?"

My father and my mother looked at each other for a second before my mother replied, "Yes, we have. His name is Jayden. Jin Jayden."

My mother held me up a little to somehow see my reaction to this name. Honestly, I was really surprised to get the same first name I had in my previously life, so I just giggled happily in response. My parents also laughed happily at my reaction.

- 3 years later -

It had been three years since I had been reborn into this world. First, I thought that there was nothing special to this world and that it was totally normal like in my previous life, but a few hours after my discharge from the hospital, I came to know that this world was anything but normal.

I saw various kinds of abnormal things. People that looked like animals. People that had things extending out of their bodies and more.

I was totally stunned and shocked from what I saw. What was this? Where was I?

Fortunately, during my three years in this world, I finally came to know where I was. I was in the world of 'My Hero Academia'. I was an absolute fan of this manga/anime and I still couldn't really believe that I was in this world.

No matter how absurd it sounded, I was really in this 'fantasy world'. I heard some people talking about Heroes, Villains and Quirks. I even sometimes heard the name of the Number One Hero 'All Might'. Clearly, I was extremely excited at the prospect of becoming a hero as a former Otaku.

But, I still had some fear lingering inside of me, thinking of the possibility that I could be Quirkless because there was no 'God' or other being who gave me some sort of wishes or power before I reincarnated, like those novels that I occasionally read.

Well, besides that, I lived my life quite comfortably and happily until now. I really enjoyed the love I received from my parents, which I never had in my previous life. My parents always bought me tons of toys to play with and showered me with lots of attention. My father sometimes had to go to work while my mother stayed at home and took care of me.

Some time ago, I came to know that my parents were 'Pro Heroes'. We lived in the USA and my parents were both half-american and half-japanese.

My father's name was Jin Jason. He had a powerful Quirk called [Power-Up].

Like the name implied, he was able to boost his physical abilities to another level. Of course, there were still some limitations to his quirk, but still, he was nevertheless immensely strong from what I heard and he was also one of the top 10 heroes in America.

His hero name was 'Power Tank', because of his incredible offensive and defensive capabilities. Also, when he activated his Quirk, his muscles would bulged a little bit and his short blonde hair would rise and stand on end.

My mother's maiden name was Shiina Saya. She also had a quite powerful Quirk called [Energy Force].

She could manipulate energy from inside her body or outside from the environment to utilize it to attack the enemies by concentrating the energy, in mostly the form of a ball, and shoot it at the target.

She could also use it for defense by enveloping her body with said energy. By doing so, she would gain a yellow layer of energy around her body that could increase both her defensive and offensive capabilities for protection and melee combat.

She used to be one of the top 20 heroes in America, but she decided to quit her job after I was born, just so she could take care of me. Her hero name was 'Energina' and she was famous for her stunning beauty and her occasionally appearing fierce temper which didn't suit her appearance at all.

When I first came to know of their Quirks and their descriptions, they felt somehow familiar to me, but no matter how long I thought about it, I still didn't have any idea what it actually was. In the end, I decided to just let it be for now and to think about it again when it'll become more clear to me.
