Chapter 3: Retribution

『3 years later.』

It has been 3 years since he was born into this world. Such a life he was living. Some would be jealous of these events. The boy got to be reincarnated as Dio in another world. That's the most amazing thing that could happen to any person, could wish for when they died. Wouldn't you be jealous?

But unfortunately it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. First of all up until the 3 years the boy was born he never unlocked Dio quirk at all. He could only make the assumption he'd awaken them in the form of a quirk once he turned 3 years old…

Though that's the problem. He's been 3 years old for a couple of months and showed no signs of awakening his quirk at all. He thought if he was just patient it would awaken, eventually. Just had to be patient, that's all.

But that wasn't even the major problem... The main problem was for 3 years Dio was living in the My Hero Academia world. He never left the house once. Yeah, he was Introvert, but that wasn't why he didn't travel.

His dad David Brando never let him. The reason wasn't because the dad was overprotective of his son. The reason wasn't even because the dad was strict. The reason was because David hated his son with a burning passion.

His reasoning was because If it wasn't this brat of a son, Erina would still be around. If she was still around, she'd still would've him a goodbye kiss every day and send him off to work like she used to.

Why! Why! Why!. He cried himself to sleep while always remembering the embrace Erina gave him. Whenever he would go in his room, he picked up the photo of him and Erina on their honeymoon for nostalgia.

David blamed Dio for the death of Erina, his alleged lover and Dio' foster mother. This jealous anger eventually drove him to abuse Dio for all Dio's time living on earth. Despite this, David did not always treat Dio with hostility.

He was genuinely a kind father for Dio 2 years in MHA. If you saw him on the street, any stranger would've looked at this man and thought he was a productive member of society. He wore a suit everywhere he went and was well respected among everyone in his workplace.

The entire problem started however when Dio walked in on his dad one day to ask, one day to ask for a snack. Though when he entered the room, the atmosphere felt distinct and was brimming with sorrow.

The lights in the room were flickering from dark to light. Dio stood there standing at the room entrance near the door just looking strangely at his father. David was just sitting there on a chair near the table with his hands on his lap while he was looking at the ceiling bewilderedly.

After he was staring at the ceiling for what felt like a long time David steadily moved his right hand from his lap and grabbed a cigar from the ashtray on the table. After he took a lighter from his pocket and lit up the cigar than put the cigar in his mouth. He then looked to where Dio was standing and said..

『It's all your fault. It all your fault why im feeling this way! If only you were never born. Eina would still be with me. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve any of it!. It was you!.』David said, crying while shouting. He hurriedly ran over to Dio and grabbed his hand. He took out the cigar that was in his mouth than furiously rammed the lit cigar in Dio's arm until he felt like stopping.

『Dad, stop!! DAD STOP!! It hurts! AHHHH』Dio screamed in agony.

The dad however didn't care and carried on with this torture for more than an hour. After he twisted Dio's arm until he heard a crack. He then knocked him out on ground cold. Dio body lay on the floor lifeless with no more screens to be heard.

The father left the room satisfied, as if he made an achievement. Nothing was the same for Dio from than onwards. He would get a abused every day with so much pain he couldn't even sleep.

Every day Dio would always think to himself why him? Why does this horrible dad abuse me? Why does he hate me? And why does he want me to die? As all of this Dio fate considering the Dio in the anime had an abusive dad which was the reason for Dio's descent into evil. Was of all this planned out?

-----

Though that all changed when Dio turned 4 years old..

(Dio POV)

I woke up out of my bed. My body still ached from the pain I received yesterday. But I already became numb to pain. I didn't feel it as much as I used to. I rubbed my sleepings eyes and yawned. After I walked down my stairs to look for some breakfast. I went to the kitchen and saw there was some orange juice in the fridge.

I drank all the orange that was in the container until I was not thirsty anymore. As I was drinking from the bottle I suddenly stopped. My entire body started shaking out of nowhere. My vision suddenly became blurry. Surprised by the sudden occurrence, I dropped the orange juice in my hand.

I dropped to my knees and coughed out blood and fell unconscious. When I woke up like 6hours later, I went up to my room. I felt refreshed. No, in fact I feel I could conquer the world haha. I'm not foolish, I knew the reason for this sudden development... It seems it has finally awakened. At long last my quirk had finally awakened ha haha.

I walked upstairs and went towards the mirror in the room.

It seems I won't be abused anymore. I will finally put this abuse to an end. No more torture. I will finally get my revenge on that old fart longed so hard for.

As I was saying those words, I heard my front door to my house open, My father had the keys, so he went through the door.

I trudged downstairs and approached my dad in front of the door..

『What do you want you little shit』David said with his arms crossed looking at the boy.

『Father...』Dio said

『...』

『I will kill you』
