2 Hell of a Life
Musutafu, Japan
It is a normal morning as citizens got up to their usual routine. Adults are either going to work or going to do some morning shopping, while a few others take their children to school.
School children walking to school with friends talking about their favorite heroes and things that happened during the weekend such as heroes and villains fighting or things they had done like go out shopping, going to the beach and other such stuff.
It was a typical morning in Musutafu City. Everywhere one looked nothing out of the ordinary was happening.
In an abandoned steel factory site in the southern part of Musutafu City. A place that should be abandoned had a number of people inside. The people there had no uniform showing they weren't workers nor did look like people that had any intention of working there to make steel or inspecting it to make the factory workable in the near future.
The only way to describe the people that were there was one word [villains]. Many of them had a look in there eyes. That look was either dark and devoid of light as if they had given up on this world, while a few others had a sinister smile with eyes that said 'let's go out and hurt anyone that stands in the way of their next score'
"Hey scorch, we were all gathered here by the bosses right, so where are they" said a bold man with a strong muscular body and a long scar going from the top right of his forehead to the left end of his left cheek
"How would I know where they are breaker, I got here after you remember" said scorch. She was a woman with long blond hair and had an athletic figure
"Most likely still in the office" said another man with slick black hair before he continued "most likely disciplining the brat for that stupid attempt he tried before we headed out for that last job"
"That boy never learns does he" said scorch before she continued "I'm surprised he's survived this long considering how harsh those beatings are"
"Your not wrong, I would have died years ago if it were me" said breaker
"If it were me I would have killed myself by now and end my days of suffering" said a skinny man with tattoos all over his neck and arms
"At the very least I would stop trying to contact the police and heroes association, that would at least lower the beatings a little" said the man with slick back hair before continuing " but let's face it, by now he's become a punching bag for those two"
" Just those two, what about scyth, knuckle, and toxic" said scorch "it's not like we don't know they go in there and beat on him too"
"It's better to take out their anger and frustration on the kid, instead of doing something stupid out there. At least that's what our bosses say" said the skinny tattooed man
It was known to everyone by their bosses that they were allowed to go and hurt their son as much as they wanted. The reason for that was simple. They just didn't care about him in the least. If their child died they wouldn't shed a tear and instead they would just say "well that's just one less mouth to feed"
"Do you honestly agree with them doing that wrath" said scorch to the tattooed man
"Of course I don't, but I'm not the boss here am I" said wrath "if the bosses say it's ok who am I their underling to question their parenting"
"Can you even call that parenting, it's nothing but abuse" said torch with a look of disgust on her face
"If you feel so strongly about it, you know where the office is. just go upstairs and let them know how you feel about the way they treat their child" said breaker to scorch
"No thanks, I value my life" said scorch after calming herself down
Although scorch didn't agree with the way her bosses treated their son. She was at least smart enough to not say it to their face.
'I wonder what they called all of us here for' scorch thought as she looked around the factory.
Scorch had never seen such a large gathering before. The most people she had seen gather at once was twenty to twenty five. Now there was almost three times that number here.
'Just what are they planning to do with so many of us here' she thought
Just as those thoughts ended in her mind. A office door on the second floor of the factory opened up. As the door opened a man and a woman came out of the office.
The man with short black hair with blue eyes and a handsome face. He was seven feet tall with ripped muscles all over his body. On his left arm was a tattoo of a black dragon, while on his body were numerous scars each of different lengths and depth, showing that he had fought numerous battles with heroes. That was one of scorches bosses, his villain name was [Chaos Dragon].
As for the woman that came out. She had long red hair with violet eyes and a beautiful face. She was six foot seven with a stunningly beautiful figure. When one looked at her one would think 'she has to be a model' although she didn't have scars like the man next to her scorch knew she had been in just as many battles as the man next to her. Her villain name was [Mad Titan].
Just as they reached the end of the stairs Mad Titan spoke "you all must be wondering why everyone is here, well let me tell you it's something no one has accomplished yet"
"When all of you hear about our plan, your going to be jumping in joy"
As everyone leaned forward to hear every detail they could not help but be shocked at their following words.
———————————————————————
On the second floor of the factory. In an small office where a person would normally be in there doing paperwork. Laid a small child on the floor with deep purple bruises and blood coming out of his mouth and nose.
If one didn't look at the child carefully, one would think they were looking at a corpse. The child was so thin that malnutrition was the first word associated with his figure. He had long black hair and violet eyes but his face was so bruised that one could barely see them.
If someone looked a little longer they would notice that several of his bones were broken from both his arms and legs, to several ribs. If anything it wouldn't be surprising if he received internal injuries.
This boy in question was Kei, who had reincarnated in the [My Hero Academia World].
'How did it turn out this way' thought Kei as he laid on the filthy floor
The first day when he gained consciousness he was excited knowing he was finally in the world he had only seen in the manga and anime. He dreamed of growing up quickly and becoming a hero that would help people and save live here and there.
That was what he thought. But reality was a cruel mistress. The place where he was born was an old building. The more he looked, the more he noticed it was an abandoned factory.
In the beginning he wondered if his parents were homeless and living in this run down place. Those were his first thoughts before seeing his parents and the people who were constantly around them.
No matter how much he tried to deny it, he had to admit his parents were villains and this run down factory was their base.
As time passed he started to walk when he was five months old. His parents were impressed at his quick development of learning to walk. As time passed he finally showed off his ability to speak.
That was as far as his parents joy lasted. The reason being that Kei made the mistake of telling them it was wrong to be a villain. It was also on that very day that he received his first beating by his parents.
In all honesty, he was surprised he survived that abuse. After all he was only four at the time. It was only after the sixth time they beat him that he realized his ability [Nature] had already been active in his body and keeping him alive.
A full year after that first beating, his parents installed a tv in his room. The reason for that wasn't so he could watch children cartoons and the like. No, it was so he could see his parents committing crimes and fighting heroes. It was purely to inspire him to turn into a villain just like them.
Sadly for his parents that dream will never come true. Kei was a reincarnated being with the intellect of an adult. So how was he ever going to be brainwashed by his parents to become a villain.
Shortly after getting that tv, Kei came up with a simple plan 'I need to get to a phone and call the police'
It was a simple plan. All he had to do was overhear what the were planing next and alert the police so they along with the heroes can wait for them and ambush then in the act. Yes a simple plan indeed.
Sadly things dong ever go as planned because he found out the hard way that his parents had cops in their pocket. The beating he received when his parents found out was beyond painful. What was worse was that every time he heard what their next plan was they would always find out.
Beatings, starvation, and just pure torture was his everyday life. No matter who he called the police, chief of police, or even the hero association itself. The person that always answered the call was in their pay pocket.
As the days turned into weeks, and weeks turned to months, Kei still didn't give up hope that he would get in touch with someone that wasn't in his parents pocket.
But as years started to go by, he was slowly losing hope. The more he tried the worse the abuse would be. It was now to the point where his [Nature] ability was barely keeping him among the living.
'I know the system said I would have a hard life, but this is too much for someone to endure' thought Kei
Too many things were running through his mind at the moment. How he felt helpless to stop his parents, as well as giving up on trying to alert the heroes and police on their plans to hurt people.
When his thoughts of giving up came clearly in his mind, he would try to shake his head and think to himself 'how can I live with myself, if I give up on helping people' when Kei thought up to there, he would feel ashamed of himself for even considering the thought of giving up.
It was always at this point that Kei thought of the system who had sealed his abilities .
'If I had full access to my [Nature] ability, would I be able to escape this nightmare' thought Kei
Kei had tried to run away several times but was always caught by either his parents or their underlings. Now he didn't even have the strength to do that anymore.
'How bad must my bodies condition be that it's now difficult to even lift a finger now' Kei thought to I'm self yet again
His body, now in such a sorry state was truly a horrid sight to behold.
As those thoughts ended, he couldn't help but speak the following words to himself, as streams of tears ran down the side of his face.
"The system was right, this really is, one hell of a life"
