1 Chapter 1 - Mai W....!

It started with a luminous baby born in China. After that event, many people started being born with superpowers. Those superpowers were called quirk. Eventually, around 80% of the world population has a quirk, some of them became a villain, and to fight those villains, hero society was born. While the other 20% are not so lucky. They were born quirkless, meaning that they were just normal humans without any superpower.

Those who were born quirkless usually got treated differently by others. Just like a girl named Mai. She's an orphan because both of her parents were dead when she was born. She then transferred to an orphanage. There, she lived normally, happily playing with others her age.

It was until when she's four years old that she was then brought to the hospital to test her quirk, the data stated that she didn't have any quirk at all. She has an additional joint on her small toe. People with quirk didn't have that. When she came back to the orphanage, the result of her test somehow got spread to the residents. It was then that she started to get bullied by others.

Of course, there is no physical incident because the caretakers of the orphanage didn't want to get a problem with the government. she was only being ridiculed and she also got isolated by the children there because in the whole orphanage, only she has no quirk. She was so sad. Before sleeping, she always cried every night because of her treatment.

Even though there's around 20% of the world population that didn't have a quirk. But if it were to account for only the children her age, that percentage would go down to about 3,3333%. It was really unlucky for her. If it were a gacha, she would probably be the winner.

Then came a day when she woke up, her face stopped showing emotion. Others thought that it was because of her bullying, no one thought it was because of her quirk. They were right, because it really is not a quirk. It was power other than quirk.

After her face became emotionless, those people who bullied her often feel sad, depressed, and other negative emotions when they bullied her. They thought it was because she became emotionless that they came to pity her. They stopped bullying her because they didn't want to feel that kind of emotion. But she still got isolated because no one wants to associate with her.

Even she herself was confused, because she knows that she still can felt emotion. It just that she can't express it to others because of her deadpan face. Her voice also becomes flat with no tone whatsoever. She also thinks it was because of her being bullied that it became like this. Well, she was only four years old, so she can only think about simple stuff.

It was a cold night. The wind freezes those who underestimated it. After she had dinner, Mai came to her bedroom and started laying down on her bed. She pulled her blanket and put it on top of herself. It was a lonely sight.

She's only alone in her room despite having more than one bed because no one wants to sleep near her. It was fortunate, or maybe, unfortunate, that the orphanage has some rooms that were not occupied because many children got adopted by their new parents this year. So, she gets a whole room for herself.

She then started to close her eyes. Tomorrow is her birthday. It was last year when she got her quirk tested. So, she will be five tomorrow. But she knows that tomorrow is not a special day, because no one will celebrate her birthday. Tomorrow is just a normal day for others. She just hopes that starting from tomorrow, her life will become better than before. Her consciousness slowly left, and she fell asleep.

The morning came. The sun rises from the east, slowly coloring the world with its light, promising a rather hot day in the afternoon. The sunlight is also coming through the window of Mai's bedroom. illuminating the one who's still asleep on top of her bed. It was then that something happened.

[System Activated]

[Proceding to reclaim lost memory...]

'AAAARGGGGHHH!!!!' Mai suddenly wakes up from her sleep and starts touching her head because of the sudden headache that she has gotten. She started screaming inside her head.

"aaaaa..." While that was happening, on the outside she just said a long 'a' with a flat tone and expressionless face. She also starts rolling on the bed until she falls on the floor and then she starts rolling on the floor.

After sometimes, the pain started to lessen. She then stayed there, unconscious.

Thirty minutes later, someone knocked on her door. When they didn't get an answer, the one who knocked on the door just opened it herself. She looks like a middle-aged woman with short brown hair. Her name is Bic Watanabe. She is one of the caretakers in the orphanage.

When Bic sees Mai laying on the floor, she slowly walks to the sleeping girl. She then crouches down and starts to poke Mai's cheek with her finger. She does it multiple times and there is no reaction. She then starts to weakly slap her with her right hand. She does it multiple times and there is still no reaction. Atlas, she then uses both of her hands, repeatedly. It was a success.

Mai opened her eyes and all she could see was that her cheeks were being ravaged by a middle-aged woman's hand. She didn't know what to feel about that.

"Hey you, you're finally awake. Quick, go down and eat breakfast, after that, you can continue your sleep or whatever..." after Bic said that, she then got up and walk out of Mai's room.

While Mai looks normal from the outside, on the inside, her mind is working like crazy. After the middle-aged woman left her room, Mai started to organize her memories. From what she knows, she was reincarnated or maybe she remembered her past life memory.

But from the looks of it, it is probably the former, but her memory got sealed until she was five years old. She also remembers meeting with god, and the god said that it would reincarnate her with her memories intact and it was because millions of people from her previous world were praying for her after she passed away.

The god said that it was because of what she did before she died. But she only remembers that she saved a man from a speeding truck and died crashing into the said truck.

The god chuckled and said it would only reincarnate her. If there was extra stuff, it was not from it, but from the man she had saved. She only nods to what the god said and then, she gets reincarnated. She lost her memory and she just got it back a few minutes ago.

Mai then quickly stood up from her laying down position and then turned her head into a mirror that was hanging on the wall. Her (imaginary) eyes widen.

What is reflected from the mirror is an image of a little girl with snow-white skin and waist-length lavender hair. She knew it was herself that was reflected in the mirror. She looks really cute, especially with her deadpan expression. But what makes her (imaginary) eyes widen is not that. It was because her look is the same as her most favorite character from Touhou, Hata no Kokoro, but in the loli version.

'Kyaaaaa!!~~' she squealed in her heart. But what came out from her mouth is a monotone "kyaaa..."

'KYAAAAA!!!~~~' she squealed even harder because of how cute her voice was.

At that time she realizes something. It was as if she has understood the truth of the universe itself. A door to a new world has opened for her. She had fallen in love-

-with herself.

After Mai was done admiring herself, she heard a grumbling voice coming from her stomach. Thank goodness there is no one else here. She then quickly goes to the dining room downstairs because her room is on the second floor.

Other children were already in the middle of enjoying their food while some had already done it when she got there. The moment she opened the door to the dining room, their gazes were focussed on her for a second before they started ignoring her and doing what they normally do.

Well, not that she cared about that. Right now, she has got something more important to investigate. So she quickly picks up her breakfast and sits down on random chairs. When she sat down, the one beside her lifted up his breakfast and got up to change position. He didn't get angry at her because when he did that, he would always feel some sort of negative emotion and he didn't want any of that right now.

Mai then eats her breakfast, while ignoring the other children's silent mockery that was thrown at her. When she is done, she hastily walks back to her room and locks the door. She looks again in the mirror, admiring herself while contemplating what to do next. It was then she heard a voice from inside of her head.

[U- Ummm... excuse me, I'm a System. It's nice to meet you, host!]

It was a soft, little girl's voice. Mai was stunned for a second(even though her deadpan face is always on), before she became excited.

'Woah! A system! And a cute one at that!' Mai thought to herself.

"Nice to meet you too, System-chan, my name is Mai..." Mai said with a flat tone. But after waiting for a minute, the system didn't answer her back. "Hello! System-chan, are you there?" She asked. But what answered her wasn't a soft voice but a flustered one.

[Y- Yesh!!! I- I'm still here, my host! A- Also, next time, please don't call me cute so suddenly! My heart is not ready yet!]

'Oh!' Mai realized something. 'Can you read my thoughts?' She tried asking the system without opening her mouth.

[Y- Yeah! I can do that. I'm really sorry for intruding on your privacy, host!]

Mai felt a little troubled, but not too much. It's just embarrassing having your thoughts known to others just like that.

[I- I'm so sorry! I know it's embarrassing]

'Mou~~~ System-chan, can you not tell me what I'm just thinking?' Mai pouted in her mind and then she got an idea. 'I know the solution to that. You can just act like you can't read my thoughts when I'm not talking to you! I'll also talk to you telepathically from now on so that people don't start calling me crazy'

[Owh! You're right! As expected of the host! You're so smart!]

'Hehehe~ Praise me more...'

[Host is so awesome, so beautiful, so wise, so great, so smo-]

'Ok~ Ok~ stop right there! That was so exaggerated!' Mai halted the system. 'Calling you System-chan felt weird, I'll call you Ai-chan then. Are you fine with that?' She asked the system.

[Y- Yes, you can call me whatever you want, host!]

'Anyway, let's get back to the main topic, so you're a system right? Can you please tell me about yourself?' Even though she already knows what a system is, the reality could be different from what she imagined.

[A- Alright! My full name is Absolute Hell Touhou System, or you can calmly shorten it to Touhou System to make it easier] 'Chotto matte!' [As of now, I only have three main functions. There are Mission, Shop, and the Ultimate Gacha] 'Oi!' [Host! Maybe you should see your own status first to make it easier for me to explain further. Just say status while wanting to see it]

'Wow! Ai-chan can really become serious when explaining something! Also, it's Touhou! That's so cool!' Mai thought to herself, which obviously, was heard by the system. Without Mai knowing, the system became flustered again. 'Alright, I'll check my status then. Even though I want to ask more about what you just said earlier,' Mai was just too excited to see her stats.

"Status!" Mai said while focusing her mind. After she said that, a transparent screen appeared in front of her. It was filled with words of information.

Mai was dumbfounded seeing her stats. Not her race, she didn't care much about it because there are more important things. Even though she didn't have anything to compare with it, she still thinks that she was strong.

Especially with those 1000 unused attribute points and cheat looking abilities. She wasn't dumb. She knows what those points are because she plays some RPG games back on earth. Attributes points are used to increase the number of other attributes.

From her memory, she had realized what world she's in right now. My Hero Academia! A wonderful modern world filled with superpowers. Now that she knows she has some kind of powers, she didn't need to worry too much about her life here. She really wants to have fun living here.

Mai also told the system she wants to change her name as well. She will use her past life name, which is also Mai, but with a family name.

From now on, she will be known as Mai. Mai Waifu, to be exact.

[Name: Mai -> Mai Waifu]
