And here, he stood.

There was no sound.

No air.

No light—at least not the kind that made sense.

He woke floating, weightless and adrift in a place that felt like a dream someone else forgot to finish. Nebulas spun like lazy dancers in a sea of black silk. Strange geometries hovered in the distance—half-built planets, ruins of stars, shattered moons frozen mid-collapse. The void pulsed, alive with a silence too deep to be empty.

"…The Awakened One stirs."

A voice, like thunder whispered through a pillow, echoed across the timeless dark. Before him stood something that couldn't be described—an outline of shifting light and shadow, neither beast nor god, but older than both.

"Where…?" the man croaked, though no air passed his lips.

"You are nowhere," the being answered. "You are between what was and what could be."

He blinked. No memory. No name. Only the faint sense that he should be more surprised than he was. "What do you want?"

The being's form rippled, amused. "I am not the one who wants. You are. You have been chosen—one chance, one wish. Anything. Speak, and it shall be."

He didn't hesitate. Didn't need to.

"I want to do… whatever I want. No rules. No chains. Just… freedom."

Silence, then laughter—soft, endless laughter that curled around the stars like vines.

"A paradoxical wish," the being mused. "But one I shall grant. Through this, you are now bound… only to yourself."

A pulse of light struck his chest. Lines of glowing circuitry spiraled down his arms, vanishing into his skin. Symbols—codes, glyphs, languages lost to the age before time—flashed before his eyes.

Before he could speak, the stars folded inward. Light became weight. The void became dark. Then—nothing.

He woke to the stench of garbage and rust. Concrete. Dripping water. Dim neon buzzing overhead. An alley.

His breath hitched. The sky was black, but no longer infinite. A city skyline blinked overhead, alive and uncaring.

Then:

He stared at the glowing blue screen hovering in front of him. This… was real.

And for the first time in forever, he smiled.

"Yeah. Let's see what I've got."

The screen shimmered in the air before him, floating steadily despite the flickering alley lights and the occasional distant honk of a car. He reached out instinctively, and the menu responded to his intent.

"This is more than I could hope for. Now my destiny is only mine to control"

-------------------------------

He stared at the glowing system panel, eyes narrowing as new lines of data replaced the old. The scan was still running in the background, but already the info pouring in made his head spin.

"System, clarify, what happened to the world structure?" he asked, arms folded.

[Revised Dimensional Analysis Loaded]

World Structure: Hybrid-Reforged – Code Name: "Reality 127-X: Unwritten Collision"

Narrative: Non-linear. Cause and effect unbound. Plot threads are mutable. Destiny variables: scrambled.

World Composition (Updated):

Primary Layer – My Hero Academia.

"Quirks" never existed in this world. They were replaced by Abilities, which awaken naturally at the age of 10.

No All For One. No One For All. Those powers never emerged.

Society still structured around Heroes but now they fight monsters and gates instead of villains, but the power classification system is now based on their ability tiers from D to SSS.

Heroes still undergo training in academies, but the potential is no longer inherited or restrict to their ability. This potential is awakened, refined, and measured in raw sync with willpower and genetic resilience.

Solo Leveling-second layer.

Dungeons and Gates appear randomly across the world. Hunters exist alongside Heroes, classified and managed separately by national Hunter Associations.

Go Gun-Hee is alive and active, serving as Chairman of the South Korean Hunter Association.

Sung Jin-Woo is a mid-tier B-Rank Hunter, living peacefully with his family. He never became a Shadow Monarch.

The absolute being never existed, so he never made the Monarchs or Rulers.

Mana and Abilities are part of the same energy system—some call it "Aether."

One Punch Man

Hero Association has always existed, operating globally. High-tier Heroes like Tatsumaki, Fubuki, Bang, and others are native to this world. Psykos, reformed and publicly known as Neuro Storm, is a high-level Hero in Japan. Saitama's status is unknown. Existence unconfirmed he may have never existed in this world.

Note: The world is not bound to a single storyline. Reality itself is modular. Events do not follow a set path. Anything can happen, and everything might.

Please take into acount that more universe may exist here, or at the very least characters from other works of ficiton.

The words glowed with finality.

"...Great," he muttered with a smirk. "A sandbox with no rules. Just how I like it."

Then he turned his gaze skyward, toward the skyline beyond the alley.

"System, can you tell me where I am specifically? Like… which country?"

The screen pulsed again:

He blinked, then laughed softly. "That's one hell of a detail drop."

He turned toward the end of the alley, the glow of distant signs peeking through the misty air.

"Well then, Japan. Let's see what kind of insanity you've got waiting for me. But first let's eat something"
