-I'll be putting the chapter ones of all the fanfics mentioned, to give you guys a sample if you wan't more please do go to the website and support the author! (And maybe even convince them to start uploading chapters in here as well!)

Chapter 1

Darkness. Darkness was all that surrounded me, at this point I found the darkness to be almost comforting. I didn't know how long I'd spent in the vacant expanse of darkness. All I knew at this point was that I died, I died in a car crash. The reasoning for my death was simplistic, but I also knew that I wasn't the one driving the car at the time of its crashing. I found it strange that I could associate so many words with different emotions, but I couldn't associate them with memories. Mom, a feeling of protection and happiness. Dad, a feeling of excitement. All I could think about while floating around in the darkness were these words, wondering why I felt these emotions when thinking about them and how I came to associate the words with those emotions.

Ping!

A loud bell-like sound interrupted me from my musings. Light flooded my vision and text started to appear in front of my face. The text seemed to be inside of a floating glass panel and with how the words appeared on the screen it seemed like someone was typing them out. Either from the panel itself or from somewhere behind it light was being shone. The panel confused me, after spending such a long time in the darkness I thought that death was just like that, but suddenly I learned that for some reason there were glass panels with text on them after death. It was only after I read the words on the glass panel that I realized how wrong I was.

Congrats! You have completed the tutorial. You are now ready to experience the full version of The Game!

The tutorial? I assumed that by the tutorial this 'Game' meant my life, but that didn't make any sense. I started to remember things now, in every game I've ever played I would always know that I was in a game while in the tutorial, but I guess that even in those video games some features were locked off. If I had to guess the conditions for completing the tutorial were dying.

Ping!

Another ping sounded out, I guess that whenever 'The Game' wanted to send a message of sorts it would start with the sound of a bell.

The Game is an interactive system that gives the power of The Game to a select candidate, The Gamer. You are the newest Gamer. Multiple other Gamers are floating around, but you won't have to worry about them. Using the power of The Game you, The Gamer, will travel to different worlds from different source materials, such as books and anime, in these worlds you will do what you do in every game, beat them.

Beat them? Wait… why am I not even questioning the validity of these messages? Why am I not freaking out? I am almost 100% sure that if I was still alive then I'd probably be having a panic attack.

Congrats! Skill(s) discovered

[Gamer's Mind] (Passive)

Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through.

Allows peaceful state of mind,

Grants immunity to psychological effects.

Alright… that's certainly interesting. Do I have any other skills?

Skill(s) Gained

[Gamer's Body] (Passive)

Grants a body that allows for the user to live real life like a game.

[Observe] (Active)

Provides information on target.

Well, I guess that answers that question, if what Gamer's Body description said was true then that would technically mean that I wouldn't need any sleep or need to eat food, though maybe if I became a vampire or something I would need the blood. If I used Skyrim as an example then I would be able to discern that I wouldn't necessarily need to eat or sleep, but if I became a vampire somehow then I would still need blood to survive.

Please select world.

World? My mind flashes back to when 'The Game' said that I would need to beat worlds from certain anime or books, but I wasn't aware that I'd be able to choose the world that I'd want to go to.

Don't get the wrong idea, your first selection of worlds is limited and gets even more limited as time goes on.

Well, that's just great, would've been great to just be able to go to Medaka's Box and gain extremely op powers. I guess it's meant to be so that I don't start extremely overpowered or something.

My Hero Academia: Ever wanted to be a goody-two-shoes superhero or the big bad villain? Then this would be one of the many worlds for you. In a world where nearly all the population of the world has a special power called a quirk, you must stand out and make a name for yourself along with the main cast of the show.

Game of Thrones: Ever wanted to take your shot and see if you could sit on the Iron Throne? Then this would be your chance, be in a world where it is weirdly both realistic and fantasy-like. Do you want to eventually sit on the throne or stay on the sidelines and guide everyone? The choice is yours.

Naruto: Become a kick-ass ninja and gain the powers of chakra. Cool right? Have the choice to choose between whatever village you want and become a shinobi. [Perk: Plot Armor] available.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Take on the life of a demigod and try your best to live in the monster-infested world of Percy Jackson. Choose to go to Camp Jupiter or Camp Half-blood, or just do your own thing and avoid all that drama. [Perk: Plot Armor] available.

That's not a lot of choices, I truly wonder how it could go down from four, I'd imagine that The Game would eventually need to expand on the list of worlds, or it would just want me to complete the first four worlds before moving on. Anyways, whats this 'Plot Armor' perk?

Perk

[Plot Armor]

Take over the role of the main character and gain their plot armor, at the cost of losing memories of major plot points in the story.

Ok… while it does sound useful in a few scenarios I doubt that I'd ever want to use the title, it just didn't sound like something I'd want. Now I need to decide which world I wanted to go to, Game of Thrones was obviously off the list first, I did not want to deal with that drama, and my knowledge of the series wasn't that good. I wouldn't mind going to the world of Percy Jackson but I wouldn't want to be held down by a camp so I'd have to wait till I get stronger so I'd be able to stay on my own and not have to rely on a camp. Now Naruto… the one that I hold the most knowledge of out of the four but also the one that I'm the most scared of. While the other worlds were straight forward (besides Game of Thrones) Naruto was weird… I knew how to perfectly cheese the 'flawless' system of Naruto, I just needed a Sharingan and my work would be done. Well, maybe I'd wait a little while longer until I became strong enough to rip a Sharingan out of some Uchiha, or maybe even become Orochimaru and steal an Uchiha's body. Well, all that was left was My Hero Academia, it was still a pretty strong world but like Percy Jackson, it had places that could train me, like UA or some other Hero School. Unlike Percy Jackson though I wouldn't mind attending UA, like come on, did you see those hot girls? The hot girls at UA aren't the entire reason why I'd want to go to My Hero Academia it's because of…. well it is mainly because of the girls but I wanted to become a hero or villain, either would be good.

Are you sure?

Y/N

After pressing down on My Hero Academia another message appeared asking for confirmation. I clicked Y.

Select Race:

[Human] (Quirkless)

[Human] (Quirk)

Well, this is obvious. I pressed down on 'Human (Quirk)'.

[Human] (Quirk)

You are a human… with a bit more spice.

You are born with a quirk and given a free skill at birth. Said skill is randomized and can either be god-like or absolute dogshit.

Gain 25% bonus class EXP.

Well, that's reassuring, especially the port where my quirk could be absolute dogshit or god-like, I was personally hoping for closer to the god-like side of things, but you never know.

Please select a class.

[Fighter][Archer][Mage][Healer][Rogue]

Looking over my choices the only ones that stuck out to me were Fighter and Mage, no matter how much I'd love to be a fighter I knew that killing wasn't widely accepted and carrying a sword around wasn't that reassuring to the general populace. So, I pressed down on Mage.

Please select a specialization.

[Elemental Mage][Illusionist][Enchanter[Summoner][Necromancer]

Well really, I wanted to be in the fight so the only one that fitted what I wanted from myself was Elemental Mage. Though eventually, I'd want to become a spell sword or something along the lines of that.

Class Gained

[Elemental Mage] – LVL 1/100 [0%]

Gain 5 INT and WIS every level.

Please select first and primary element.

[Fire][Water][Earth][Wind]

I look over the four options, the only one that I wouldn't jump to get would be Earth, though the only reason I'd want water is that most of blood is made from water. Though I guess since it said 'first element' then I'd be able to eventually choose a second element. I am left between the choice of Fire and Wind, of course, I choose Fire because who isn't a bit of a pyromaniac?

Skill Gained

[Pyrokinesis] – LVL 1/100 [0%]

The general control of fire and its uses. Higher-level = greater control/stronger

Skill Gained

[Fireball] – LVL 1/50 [0%]

Breathe out a fireball and shoot it out in a general direction. Chance to give Burning effect to target.

Cost – 50 MP

Damage – 15

Ok… that skill isn't that noteworthy, but I will make it work. Ok, now I think there is more than just getting my class situation handled.

Type in your name of choosing

Oh… OH, I guess I'd have to choose a Japanese name of sorts because I'd be going to a world inside of Japan, besides I can always change my name… I think.

Your name is: Aka

Are you sure? Y/N

Yes, I'm sure about the name I wouldn't have typed it in if I wasn't sure about it. Though admittedly making my name 'red' in Japanese was uncreative.

Where am I? One second The Game is counting down and the next I'm in a bedroom, I guess I got teleported here. My alarm starts to ring after I come to that revelation, I guess either I have a job or need to go to work, I hate that I'm saying this, but I hope its school. "Aka! It's your first day at the new school!" A voice calls down from somewhere downstairs, my mind provides the information that it is my mother.

"I know mom! I just woke up!" I yell back, the word mom feels weird on my tongue, if not a bit wrong.

Ok first things first, where is the school that I'm going to? Aldera Junior High, the words of the school appear in my mind, honestly, it's a bit weird, I'm guessing that I don't remember my past life, but the information will be provided to me if I need it. If I remember correctly then I must wear a Gakuran while at school, it really sucks. After putting on the Gakuran I head downstairs, my mother waiting for me. I decide to use the [Observe] skill on her.

Thoughts about you – Love

Ok… imma just say it, my mother is a total milf, I would fuck her, but I doubt that she would reciprocating of that. "Alright mom, I'm ready to go." I say calmly tugging at my collar, "I honestly hate this outfit."

My mother giggles at that and gives me a hug, "do you want me to drive you there? You can't use your quirk in public, so I don't want you to get in trouble."

Oh yea, I have a quirk, I'll have to investigate that later. "I'm fine, besides I never get in trouble." How did I know that? Don't ask because I don't know.

My mother nods and shoos me out the door while telling me to have a fun time. Walking to the school my mind is clouded in though, if I had to guess the anime starts towards the beginning of the school year, y'know with the teacher asking the students what they want to be or something like that. I don't really have a lot of time to work with but if I want to gain OFA, and I do, then I'll A. Kill Izuku (very morbid) B. Somehow steal the spotlight from Izuku C. Distract Izuku somehow. Two of my option relied on 'somehow' but the first option wasn't a somehow, and since this is a game then I'm guessing I have an inventory. As soon as I thought about an inventory a screen popped up in front of my with squares in it, in the first square there was a book. I didn't put a book in there so might as well check it out.

Skill Book: ID Create/Escape

Would you like to learn this skill? Warning: Upon learning this skill the book will be destroyed.

Sure, why not?

Skill added

[ID Create] – LV 1/EX [0%]

Create dungeons for you to explore and defeat enemies.

Escape current ID

Well that's cool, so will time be frozen when I go into the ID?

Yes.

Ok, thanks totally awesome game. Now that I know that time will be frozen, I guess I need to grind. Wait, if I want to convince All Might to give me OFA then I need to look weak, Status.

[Dark Spike]

Cost – 50 MP

I kinda like the fact that my Quirk is just shadow control, even if its sorta edgy. Anyways, why does Dark Spike do more damage than my Fireball? Now that I think about it, the description for the perk did say it had a chance to inflict burning effect so maybe it balances the damage out. Anyways my Quirk right now is absolute dogshit, I need to level it up, especially if I want to become a villain or a hero.

-5 HP

What? Suddenly I'm aware of the fact that I walked into someone and I am now atop of them. Getting up I look at who I walked into, seeing green hair I immediately knew who it was, Izuku Midoriya.

Thoughts about you – He doesn't know you

"You ok? Sorry I wasn't really paying attention." Honestly after seeing two people's stats I know that I have a pretty good start with 10s in every stat. I offer my hand to Izuku.

Grabbing onto my hand Izuku pulls himself up, "ah i-it's fine."

I nod, "I'm Aka by the way."

He nods meekly, "I'm Izuku, you're the new exchange student, right? You speak really good Japanese for an American."

Now it is my turn to nod, it seems I am learning more about myself without even trying to. "Yea, my dad's Japanese so I primarily spoke Japenese with him." It seems that my mom met my dad in America, they got married blah blah blah then they moved here and my dad's on a work trip.

Izuku nods, "I see, so do you know the way to the school?"

I shake my head, "nope, I was just walking hoping that I'd eventually find myself at the entrance."

"I can lead you to the school if you want," Izuku offers.

"Sure, it would help me out a lot." I respond, Izuku nods and starts walking ahead of me and towards the direction of what I'm assuming is the school.

Eventually both Izuku and I arrive at the school, the school is smaller than I expected, but that doesn't really matter. "Thanks for leading me to the school Izuku, you're in my grade, right?"

Izuku nods, "mhm, and with how this school works we are in the same class, and I happen to know where that class is, want me to show you?"

I nod and don't give any vocal response. Following after Izuku, we're suddenly interrupted by someone grabbing onto Izuku. "Yo Deku!" the kid who was holding onto him yelled out, he had ash blond hair, and I recognized it.

Katsuki Bakugo

Thoughts about you – You're the new kid

Well shit, guess I really only compare to people who either don't have a quirk or their quirk is useless, or people who just don't train. Let's do quick math, if my HP is END X 10 then Katsuki's HP would be 430, but I doubt that would be the case, his quirk causes explosions and as far as I know he isn't immune to the recoil from them, so why is his health at that?

Note: Certain Quirks give the user certain boost to certain stats, HP, MP, SP, or skills. You now have this boost as well.

Due to [Quirk: Umbrakinesis] you now hav level in [Sneak] skill and Mana gained via intelligence is doubled

Skill Added

[Sneak] – LV 1/100 [0%] (Due to quirk LV X 2 = 1)

1% chance of not getting caught more or less depending on environment and/or person

So basically, everyone with a quirk has a little cheat, well I can't say that I'm complaining even if [Sneak] is useless to me right now. "H-hi Kaachan, you ready for the school year?" I am interrupted from my musings by Izuku who responds to Katsuki.

"Of course, next year I'll get into UA, just stay out of my way Deku." Katsuki of course ignores me and starts to walk ahead after that brief message.

Izuku blushes red in embarrassment, "that was Katsuki Bakugo, we've known each other since we were kids but after he got his quirk he changed, and well I didn't get mine."

"Wait you don't have a quirk?" I try to play it off as if I didn't already know that he didn't have a quirk.

"Yea, I just never manifested one, sorry if it makes you think any differently of me." Izuku looks away from as if expecting me to suddenly start hating him because of his Quirkless status.

"Nah, I understand that there's not a 100% chance of manifesting a quirk so there's no harm in you being Quirkless." I say quickly.

Izuku nods, "thanks for understanding."

"Of course, I'd understand, besides my own quirk would typically be seen as something a villain would have or as something that's dark." I silently snicker to myself at the little pun at the end, even if Izuku doesn't understand the pun.

"Oh, whats your quirk then?" A light sparks in Izuku's eyes, the enthusiasm in his voice reminds me of the fact that he likes to take notes on people's quirks.

"It's Umbrakinesis, allows me to control shadows and what not." To demonstrate my ability, I try to summon a bit of shadow, but a ping sounds and reading it reveals that I don't have enough levels in the skill to manifest shadows.

"Oh. OH! Haha, that was a really bad joke you made back then, with it being dark and all, you weren't lying though about it being something a villain would have." Izuku says after laughing a bit from realizing the joke I made.

"Anyways I think this is our class." I say pointing at the classroom.

Izuku nods in confirmation, "yea it is, so let's go in."

As we enter the classroom the sound of people talking immediately stops, and everyone moves their heads to look at Izuku and I. I guess that being a new kid in a school where most of the people now each other is strange. The teacher was the first to recover and waved me over to him, "why don't you introduce yourself to the class."

I look at the class recognizing only two people, Izuku and Katsuki. I don't care about the fodder characters, so I don't bother using observe on them. "Yo, I'm Aka Kuku and I'm the exchange student from America."

The teacher nods along, "good good, I'm sure you can guess where your desk is, or do you need help?"

I glare lightly at him, of course its obvious theres only one empty desk, fucking asshole. Thankfully the desk I'll be sitting at is right next to Izuku's. Once I sat down the teacher grabbed a stack of papers and started to hand them out. It was asking about my desired life-course. "Now class I understand that all of you want to be heroes," the class starts to yell out displaying their quirks, "now class you have to remember that using your quirks in school is against the rules." The teacher looked like he was going to continue his little speech but was interrupted by Katsuki.

"Don't group my up with all of these fodder characters teach." Katsuki snarls while saying it, and snarls even more when the class starts to yell at him. "Shut up!" Katsuki claps his hands together forming an explosion causing the class to quiet down.

"I've already aced the mock test at UA, I'm not aiming for useless office jobs like the rest of you fodder, I'm aiming for a spot even higher than All Might." The class nods along, not wanting to make Katsuki mad.

"Ah yes if I remember correctly Izuku and Aka both want to go to UA." The teacher says offhandedly causing the class to start laughing at Izuku and I.

Multiple people in the class told Izuku that he couldn't get into UA with just studying, most of them don't even make it fully through the sentence without breaking into a fit of laughter. Katsuki finally deciding to show himself fired off an explosion in the direction of Izuku and I. "You think that you, a Quirkless idiot can get into UA? Don't put yourself on my level Izuku." Izuku shrinks into his chair after Katsuki tells him that, "and you, a fucking Yankee thinking they can enter into UA, the best hero school in the country? Don't make me laugh." Damn, that was something, I'm not a fucking Yankee though.

"I'm not a fucking Yankee, best remember that." I get up from my desk and walk over to Katsuki, honestly, he fucking annoys me, "and I will beat your ass in the UA exams."

Katsuki's snarl grows, "meet me tomorrow at Dagobah beach and we will settle who's better there."

Quest Added

Objective: Meet Katsuki at Dagobah beach then kill him

Reward(s): Explosion Quirk and Villain Questline added

Penalties: OFA Questline locked and Hero questline locked

Accept: Y/N?

Why do I have to kill him? Oh hell, what am I saying? Of course, I'd kill him if I actually met him at Dagobah. The questions is if I want to actually do this, if I become a villain I could get close to All For One and get some more quirks but I could do the same if I was a Hero, but by close I mean I would kill him if I was a hero then hopefully gain All For One. The cons outweigh the benefits, so I guess I'll have to deny this quest. "No, we can prove who's better at the UA exams." Damn, guess my dreams of being a kickass villain were gone.

Katsuki snarled and sat back down, I sat back down as well, staring ahead waiting for class to just end. Throughout class Izuku kept on glancing at me as if wanting to say something but when I'd look at him, he would turn red and quickly look away. Eventually we have a break and I decide to ask him why he keeps looking at me. "It's because Katsuki isn't used to being said no to so you kinda knocked him down a peg, if only a little bit." Izuku says, I nod at it but don't actually say anything in response.

Finally, after what seemed forever the final bell rang, and everyone started to leave the class. I stay behind with Izuku because I know that Izuku would look at his phone and see the news about the sludge villain attack and try to write about it in his notebook. As if on cue Izuku looks at his phone, sees the news report, and pulls out his notebook. "Yo Izuku whats that?" I ask pointing at the notebook.

"Oh, it's a notebook that I write in when I see or read about someone's quirk, I basically just write about potential abilities and already known abilities." Izuku responds.

I nod, "sounds interesting Izuku." I look up seeing Katsuki walking over to us, I stare at him for a second before he starts walking into a different direction, I guess me saying no to him really had an effect on him.

"Anyways, you can go on ahead if you want, I think I'll stay here for a bit and write about the recent villain attack." Izuku tells me, I nod and walk out of the classroom.

That was different from canon, in canon he goes home and while walking he gets attacked, guess someone is pulling the strings to allow me to get attacked and gain One for All. Well, it isn't important guess I should start walking. I already know whats going to happen to me if I use the same route that Izuku did to get to the school so there's no worries there. Now I just have to play the waiting game so see when the sludge villain would attack me.

A few seconds later I find myself regretting the fact that I wanted the sludge villain to attack me. Basically, the sludge villain was now suffocating me and being how weak I am, I couldn't do anything about it.

[Suffocating] Effect added

-2 HP every second

It honestly sucks, and even though I know that I'm going to be saved it doesn't change how scared I am. I'm desperately pulling at the sludge villain's body, at least I think it's his body. Thankfully [Gamer's Mind] prevents me from freaking out but it doesn't stop me from desperately trying to survive. I think the sludge thing said something, but I don't hear it and the next second a strong wind pushes into me separating me from the sludge villain and destroying the sludge villain. I hate to say it, but I pass out after that, but I know it was All Might that saved me.

I wake up a bit later to find All Might looking at me, big shocker. "Are you alright young man?" He asks, I nod in response, "I think I'm fine."

All Might nods, "alright then, my job is now done."

All Might gets ready to jump but I know that if I want One for All then I need to grab onto him. "Wait!" I yell out, of course All Might doesn't hear me and then he starts to jump.

I grab onto him and in the process accidentally knock the bottle of sludge from his pants. "Let go kid!" All Might yells at me, "I can't! If I do, I'll die!" I yell back. All Might grits his teeth and coughs, a bit of blood coming out of his mouth.

All Might lands at the next building we pass over, I let go of him dazed from the short flight, "so kid what was so important that you had to grab onto me?" All Might asks.

"Well, I wanted to ask you if it's possible for me to become a hero even if my quirk is something that people would assume a villain would have." I really have to try to act like I'm distraught so that All Might believes me, and I think it's working.

"Look kid, if you truly want to be a hero then you shouldn't care about how others will view it, anyways I need to give the sludge to the police stat-" All Might abruptly stops and erupts into a coughing fit and smoke starts to cover him, and once the smoke cleared it revealed a lanky man in the place of the muscular man.

"What the fuck?" I already knew this was his true form, but I still had to play the part of a clueless teen talking to his idol.

"Shit. I guess I can't make an excuse for this, can I? You see my quirk just allows me to transform into the muscular body that everyone knows me by. I used to be able to use my quirk 24/7 but after a wound I got five years back I haven't been able to use it constantly." He lifts up his shirt to show the wound, in person it looks much worse compared to the anime.

"Why don't you show the public?" I ask curiously, I was actually pretty curious as to why he didn't show the public his true form.

"It's because I need to keep up the persona of the Symbol of Peace and not let anyone know how weak I am without my quirk. Anyways kid I have to return this sludg… where did it go? It must've slipped out when you grabbed onto me, well I can't do anything about it now." All Might sighs and starts to walk towards the stairs.

"Wait, it was my fault the villain got out! I've got to go help!" I run ahead of All Might and ignore his protests at my idea. Running down the stairs I mentally sigh, it seems that I'll need to save Katsuki now.

Author's Note: Honestly, I've been planning on writing this for the longest time, but only recently did I decide to stop being a coward and write it. Also, I'm using most of 'The Game' mechanics from the author 'The Dark Wolf Shiro' his/her fanfictions are what made me want to write this. I will admit though that this was originally just a random idea that I developed upon in algebra, no wonder my grade is so low. If you can, please leave a review, that is what shows me that you readers are enjoying what I am writing.
