Everyone faces uncertainty at some point in their lives. 

Even a brilliant surgeon like Kenzo Tenma was no exception. 
But there was no way he could have known that his decision to stop chasing professional success and instead concentrate on his oath to save peoples’ lives would result in the birth of an abomination...
A Monster...

Note- The story and the characters are taken from the masterpiece, Monster by Naoki Urasawa.

Karma Arrowwood tries her best to live a normal life as the personal maid in Howard Manor. There's only one catch. No one can know she's a demon. This becomes especially hard when the demon king sends high ranking demons to capture her and her master. Can she survive, or will her emotions run rampant and get her caught?

Sakura POV +

A new year comes again and now
I am finally a highschool student. I
enrolled in Raimon high school because my friend, Tenma suggested me to study here.

* Alarm Rings *

Sakura: What time is it?! It's to early!

I looked at my alarm I was surpried that it is clock and already 7:30 am

Sakura: Gosh, I'm gonna be late !

I hurry because I'm going to be late
on my first day. What can my classmates say to me? Late on first day of school? Because I was so anxious to be late, I didn't saw that another person is on my front and I bump to him.

Sakura: Gomen, gomen. I was
on hurry. Daijoubu desu ka?

Tsurugi POV

I was on hurry because I'm gonna be late and suddenly I bumped into a person.

???: Gomen, gomen. Daijoubou desu ka? I was on hurry.

I looked in her and ... and she
was looking very worried about me
She is so cute and my heart seems
to skipped a beat. Was it they called
love at first sight?

Tsurugi: Daijoubu. How about you, are you okay? Sumanai

??? : Yokatta, I'am relieved . Gomennasai, hontoni gomen. Anh, I'm going to be late !!! Hontoni gomennasai..

Tsurugi: Wait.. I ...

She already left when I was 
going to ask her name. Oh! I'm late!

Sakura POV

Oh no! I couldn't even know where my classroom is. Wait, I see a similar face. I... I knew it was Tenma.

Sakura: Tenma?

Tenma: S..Sakura, is it really you?

Sakura: I knew you were Tenma!
By the way do you know where is my classroom?

Tenma: Oh, you're on my class together with Shinsuke, Kusaka, Aoi, Konoha and others.

Sakura: I am glad to be your classmate.

Tenna: Me too.

Tsurugi POV

Luckily, I made it up on time.
come to think of her, I wonder who
she is, will we meet again?

Shindou: Hey Tsurugi, what are you
thinking?

Tsurugi: Nothing really.

Shindou: Are you sure? Oh by the way, Tenma said that his friend is going to transfer here...

Tsurugi: Tenma's Friend?

Shindou : Yeah and I heard that her
name is Nozaki Sakura.

Nozaki Sakura? What if she is the
girl I bumped in earlier. What if
she is the girl that caught my
fancy? And what if she is not her?

Yuji-sensei: Minna, take your seats. Let me introduce to you our new
Nozaki Sakura.

My heart skipped a beat. I looked
at her and ... She was her, the girl
I bumped into, the girl who caught my
fancy.

Sakura: Konnichiwa, My name is
Sakura. I'm pleased to meet you.

"Ambil jarahannya Harmit." Dhrizh menyarungkan kembali kedua pedangnya dipinggang.

"Oke!" Harmit berjalan mendekati mayat assassin.

Tidak ada anak buah assassin itu yang menghalangi Harmit. Topengnya membuat mereka merasa rendah, sehingga membuka jalan untuknya.

"Kalian masih ingin tinggal disini atau pergi?"

Suara Dhrizh sedingin es saat mengatakan itu, para pemain yang mendengar langsung tersadar dan berlari kesegala arah, berusaha untuk menjauh secepatnya mungkin.

"Kak, apa nggak masalah kita lepasin mereka?" Tanya Harmit setelah berdiri disamping Dhrizh.

"Hmm? Santai, lagipula mereka disini untuk Monster Parade, setidaknya mereka berguna sebagai perisai daging." Jawab Dhrizh memandangi pemain yang sudah cukup jauh.

"Ohh!" Harmit tercerahkan akan jawaban tidak bertanggung jawab seperti itu.

"Haa... Ayo Harmit, kita perlu bersiap." 

Dhrizh selesai bicara dan menyeret kerah Harmit yang masih dalam lamunannya. Sebelum dia mengambil langkah kedua, pasangan kakak beradik itu menghentikannya dan membungkukkan badan 90 derajat.

"Terimakasih Expert!" Kakak beradik itu mengatakannya bersamaan, terlihat sudah terlatih hingga memiliki kekompakan seperti itu.

Expert adalah sebutan bagi pemain ahli didalam Neswald, mereka tidak seperti Ranker yang menunjukkan keterampilan menggunakan peringkat Level. Para Expert selalu tertutup, bahkan Level mereka kadang tidak diketahui. Keterampilan Expert setingkat dengan para Ranker 100 keatas.

"Sama-sama. Lain kali hati-hati misalnya ada kelompok mencurigakan seperti itu." 

Ksatria itu berdiri kembali dan menatap Dhrizh dengan mata mengagumi, tampak persis seperti Harmit pertama kali bertemu Dhrizh.

"Perkenalkan nama saya Tenma! Dan ini Kakak saya Tenri! Boleh kami tau nama Expert sekalian!?" Kata Knight bernama Tenma yang sekarang berdiri 10cm jauhnya dari Dhrizh.

Harmit melihat Tenma yang mendekat langsung mendorongnya menjauh, "Jangan dekat-dekat!"

"Maafkan adik ku Expert!" Tenri menundukkan kembali kepalanya, meminta maaf.

"Ahh! Kakak! Aku juga minta maaf Expert!" Tenma ikut menundukkan kepalanya, kemudian ucapan bersama terulang kembali.

"Sudah-sudah, Harmit santai..." 

"Ughh, orang ini terlalu kaku kak." 

Dhrizh menyuruh mereka mengangkat kembali kepalanya. Dia jadi canggung akan situasi seperti ini, keringat didahinya juga muncul, 'Untung aku pakai tudungnya!'

Harmit juga tidak nyaman dengan sikap permintaan maaf mereka. Sekarang dia merasa menyesal mendorong Tenma."

"Panggil aja aku Dhrizh. Kalian tidak perlu sesopan itu, kami bukan Expert." Dhrizh berusaha membuat mereka nyaman.

"Mhm! Kami bukan seorang ahli, hanya pemain biasa. Ohh iya, panggil aja Harmit, Harmit, itu nama Harmit soalnya." Harmit bersalaman dengan Tenma, seperti tingkah laku yang sering ditunjukkannya saat pertama kali bertemu.

Mata Tenma menunjukkan kecerahannya kembali. Tenri juga sedikit menghela nafas, tekanan dari topeng Harmit membuatnya selalu untuk berhati-hati. Dhrizh melirik mereka berdua dan berpikir secara mendalam.

'Pria ini, sikap dia maju kedepan dan melindungi seseorang memang cocok sebagai pemain garis depan, orang seperti ini pasti memiliki kepribadian setia. Perempuan itu dapat berpikir tenang saat dikelilingi musuh sudah menjadi bukti ketenangan yang didapat dari pengalaman.'

Dhrizh tersenyum, berjalan kearah Tenri, kemudian membuka tudungnya dan mengarahkan satu tangan kedepan untuk bersalaman.

"Apa kalian berdua tertarik untuk bergabung didalam Party kami?" Dhrizh mengatakan kalimat itu dengan santai, 'Orang orang ini pasti menghargai hubungan.'

Tenma dan Tenri terkejut atas undangan mendadak dari Dhrizh, mereka tidak habis pikir dapat undangan langsung seperti ini.

"Kami ma–!" 

"Kami akan mempertimbangkannya terlebih dahulu." 

Tenri menghentikan Tenma mengatakan keinginannya, ia tidak ingin menerima undangan tersebut dengan tergesa-gesa.

"Hmm? Silahkan pertimbangkan, kami hanya ada disekitar sini beberapa hari." Dhrizh memberi tanda untuk pergi.

"Terimakasih." Jawab Tenri sambil menundukkan kepalanya sedikit.

'Aku tidak tau apa motif mereka mengajak kami, lebih baik ambil jalan aman.' Tenri pikir ini adalah pilihan terbaik. Mereka baru bertemu beberapa menit yang lalu dan undangan Dhrizh jelas ada maksud tersembunyi.

'Apa yang dipikirkan si Kakak! Ini kesempatan bagus buat kenalan sama ahli!' 

Tenma dalam hati menggerutu, tidak ada yang lebih baik dari satu tim dengan seorang pemain ahli, karena itu meningkatkan keselamatan hidupnya dalam Neswald.

"Kalau kalian sudah mempertimbangkan pilihan, besok tunggu digerbang utara. Kami pergi dulu." Dhrizh mengatakan itu dan pergi bersama Harmit. 

Tenri mengamatinya, ingin mengikuti kemana mereka pergi, tetapi saat Dhrizh dan Harmit tertutup pohon, 'Mereka menghilang!' Jerit Tenri dalam hati.

Tenma juga terkejut melihat kedua pemain itu menghilang, yang mereka ketahui dari tampilan mereka adalah Dhrizh pasti seorang Knight atau Warrior, dan Harmit, Wizard atau Elementalist. Tidak mungkin ada pemain dari kelas kelas itu yang memiliki kemampuan menghilang. 

"Kecuali Extra Skill." Kata Tenri dengan suara rendah.

Tenma menanggapi setuju akan perkataan Tenri. Extra Skill dalam Neswald dapat diartikan keterampilan tambahan yang diberikan peralatan atau senjata. 

"Kakak, bagaimana kita sekarang?" Tanya Tenma setelah memastikan sekali lagi tempat Dhrizh dan Harmit menghilang.

"Tetap dalam rencana, kita hanya mengikuti Quest Monster Parade ini sebentar. Kemudian pergi menemui Kuro-nii." 

"Hahh..." Tenma menghela nafas sedih, kemudian mengangguk.

Terlihat di kejauhan atas pohon sekitar 20 meter dari mereka. Dhrizh dan Harmit duduk dibatang dan memandangi Tenri dan Tenma. 

"Whoa, tadi cukup cepat Kak." Gumam Harmit.

Sesaat setelah Dhrizh ditutupi pohon, dia menyuruh Harmit menghadap depan dan kemudian mengaktifkan Mimicri, Extra Skill Gunta Robe Enchant. 

Dalam 3 detik, seluruh keberadaan Harmit akan menghilang, atau bisa kebal, tetapi tubuhnya masih dapat disentuh.

Setelah Harmit mengaktifkan Mimicri, Dhrizh telah memasuki kondisi kemalasan. Dia menarik erat kerah jubah Harmit, kemudian melompat disetiap batang pohon, kecepatannya meningkat dari 3 meter lompatan pertama yang menghabiskan satu detik, 7 meter lompatan kedua, dan lebih dari 10 meter setelah Harmit keluar dari kondisi Mimicri.

"Jubah ini memang memiliki pasif yang hebat."

Dhrizh tidak bisa membantu menjadi teringat pasif tambahan dari jubah Sloth Child Tunic.

[ Sloth Shape ( Passive-Super Rare ): Anda akan memasuki kondisi kemalasan apabila tidak ada yang memperhatikan Anda selama 3 detik. Saat berada di kondisi kemalasan, Anda akan menjadi tidak terlihat selama tidak melakukan serangan. ]

Ada banyak cara menggunakan pasif tersebut, terutama saat memastikan tidak ada yang mengikuti.

"Bagaimana dengan orang itu kak?" Tanya Harmit.

"Bagaimana apanya? Biarin aja, terserah mereka mau ikut kita atau nggak." 

Dhrizh dalam hati tidak sabar memiliki anggota tambahan dalam partynya. Dimatanya, anggota party sama seperti sekelompok pemburu. Berburu hewan bersama seseorang lebih menyenangkan daripada sendirian, itulah perasaan yang dimiliki Dhrizh dalam Party Neswald.

***

Gelombang terakhir dari Monster Parade mulai terlihat diujung jalur Might Forrest. Pasukan monster ini berbeda jauh dari gelombang sebelum sebelumnya.

Pasukan terakhir Wave-5 hanya terdiri dari selusin monster humanoid. Mereka mengenakan jubah yang mirip seperti jubah Dhrizh, hanya saja warna jubah itu hitam dengan samar samar aura giok keluar darinya.

Kali ini pasukan pertahanan dipimpin Heilin yang baru kembali dan Heibert sebagai wakilnya. Dibelakang mereka, berdiri Rufus, Helena serta member utama Yggdrasil yang dipimpin eksekutif Yggdrasil.

Pasukan yang dipimpin Battle Creed berada disayap kiri, dan sayap kanan dipimpin oleh seorang assassin wanita berpakaian serba hitam. 

Total pasukan pertahanan gelombang terakhir berjumlah 20.000 pasukan, termasuk pasukan NPC. Jumlah meningkat drastis, akibat Yggdrasil membawa member inti sebanyak 10.000 pemain. Ini bahkan tidak sampai sepersepuluh dari total member inti Yggdrasil.

Guild yang tidak terlihat disini, hanya pasukan dari Sakura Tree yang dipimpin Yakamoji.

"Kepala Desa, musuh hanya berjumlah 12, mengapa harus beramai seperti ini?" Tanya Rufus, Heibert tidak menyelanya, ia juga sedikit bingung.

"Berjumlah 12?" Jawab Heilin, berpikir ini lelucon terburuk yang ia dengar sepanjang tahun. Dia memandangi monster humanoid itu yang mengeluarkan staf panjang dan melanjutkan, "Haa... Aku juga berharap ini hanya berjumlah segitu. Kalian lihat boneka boneka kecil itu."

Orang yang mendengar merasa bingung akan kata kata Heilin, Heibert dan Helena juga termasuk orang yang bingung. Semua orang spontan menoleh kemonster humanoid tersebut.

Monster itu mengangkat stafnya, kemudian mengetuk bumi dengan lembut. Seketika tanah disekitar mengeluarkan aura kematian yang pekat, angin berderuh kemana mana, membuat suara yang dihasilkannya seperti teriakan bumi.

Suara dingin monster itu terdengar bersamaan, "End's of Apocalypse."

Bersamaan akhir dari kalimat itu, sebuah lingkaran hitam menyebar hingga ke pasukan pertahanan paling depan, dengan monster humanoid itu sebagai titiknya tengahnya.

Tenma and his wife make some hand signs and release some purple smoke from their mouth.
"Secret Technique: Kodon Saigenzai"
The purple smoke surrounds the wolf monster Roen and slows its movements.
Hmm…
'Interesting…'
Izuna curiously stares at the battle between the Kodon clan Leader and the wolf.
'He is utilizing the hypnotic abilities of the medicine to induce a genjutsu on the beast. Looks like he wants to gain control of this wolf.
This medicine is very potent, and it even affects the Mangekyo Sharingan. I wonder what motives the Kodon clan fosters for trying to seek control of this beast.
Previously, they sealed the beast to prevent any further harm to the Land of Medicine and now they have unsealed the beast.'
Awooh…
The wolf howls at the Kodon clan leader as it senses their intention.
Swish…
It swipes its claws and creates a wing blade to disperse the smoke.
"Not so fast, you beast… you may have terrorized our ancestors, but our abilities have far surpassed them."
Whoosh…
The couple makes some hand signs and releases more purple smoke at the beast.
Awooh…
The roar of the beast turns feeble as the purple smoke induces its effect.
"Tenma… do you think it would work?"
His wife questions him.
"It should work. The villagers had grown complacent with the invention of blue fire powder by the Kumanoi clan. If this continues, the village will discontinue the shinobi services and we would grow vulnerable to foreign attacks."
Tenma clenches his fist tightly.
"I can't allow such a thing to happen. The foolish decisions of a few old geezers shall not ruin the legacy of our ancestors."
'Hmm… so he thinks he can control a monster at the level of a tailed-beast.'
Izuna silently stares at the Kodon clan leader.
'Well, I am always up for more entertainment. Let's see how he will dance.'
A wide smile appears on Izuna's face as he chases after the Tenma clan Leader.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
The couple continues to douse the beast with more purple gas.
Bam…
After a few minutes, the beast collapses on the ground and loses its consciousness.
"Here is our chance, apply the sealing talisman on the beast. With this, it will fall under our control."
Tenma takes out a sealing talisman from his pocket and brings it near to the beast's forehead.
Swoosh…
The talisman slips into the beast's body and the eyes of the beast turn violet.
"Success."
Tenma has a relieved expression on his face as he stares at the beast.
"Now it's time for the second part of our plan."
Whoosh… whoosh…
Tenma makes some hand signs and slams his palm on the ground.
Poof…
The Wolf Monster Roen disappears in a large puff of smoke.
"Now on to the village. Once the village faces this monster, they will come to know the value of the shinobi culture. Fostering shinobis is necessary to understand the horrors of the war. The Land of Medicine can't maintain a neutral stance."
Tenma and his wife walk towards the Howling Wolf Village.
Fwoosh…
Izuna reappears at the place as he stares at the back of the Kodon clan leader.
"This human is foolish. He is seeking his doom."
Kurama scoffs at the Kodon clan leader.
"Does he think he can control a mindless beast corrupted by Negative Chakra on his own? Humph…"
Kurama snorts and closes his eyes.
"…"
Izuna silently stares at Kurama.
"If my memory serves me right, then there is someone here… who wasn't controlled once but twice… and now he talking shit about others."
Haha… Haha…
Kushina giggles loudly as she tries hard to control her laughter.
Minato, Kushina, and Izuna stare at Kurama for a while.
"Don't compare me to this vile beast. Also, the one who controlled me was Madara Uchiha. You can't fathom his power with your imagination; that's how strong he was.
I can still feel the vile chakra of Madara."
Slam…
Izuna swings his hand and a giant Tori gate falls on top of Nine-tails.
"Oops… my hand just slipped."
Izuna apologies to Kurama. Minato and Kushina nod their head as Kurama stares at Izuna in perplexion.
"Anyway… the point is, the Kodon clan leader can't control the beast properly. It would get out of his control, eventually."
Minato clears his throat to ease the tension.
"I also believe so…" Kushina nods her head in agreement.
"Earlier, I recognized the sealing formula laid on the stone tablet. It has some resemblance with that of our Uzumaki clan. So, I guess that seal was created by the ancestor.
Now, since the seal has been lifted, it will take a while for the beast to gain its full power. And once it reached its full power, it will easily break free from his control."
Kushina explains the details.
"I guess… I can gain some profits from this incident."
Izuna greedily rubs his hands.
"After all, who doesn't get sick in this mundane world and if I can procure first-class herbs and medicines for free, then I will happily dive in."
Whoosh…
Izuna's figure turns into countless shards of ice, which shatter and disappear.
Inside the Howling Wolf Village,
Tenma Kodon and his wife reach the center of the village.
"It's time to put our plans into action."
Swish… Swish…
Tenma makes some hand signs and slams his palms on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu: Roen"
Poof…
A giant puff of smoke rises in the air as the giant wolf monster appears in the village.
Tenma makes some hand signs, and the eyes of the wolf glows brightly.
Awooh…
It howls loudly and releases a shock wave through the village.
Boom…
The shock wave blows away the nearby house and destroys most of the house.
Panic and chaos ensue in the village as the villagers run for their life.
"Quick… RUN, the village is under attack."
The villagers rush out of their houses as the wolf's roar terrorizes them.
Hmm…
"Interesting… that howl has yin chakra infused in it. This beast can use the yin chakra to induce fear and emotional instability.
I want to cash in a favor… I can't allow them to die."
Izuna makes some hand signs and creates multiple shadow clones.
"Protect the villagers."
"YES BOSS…"
The shadow clones nod their head and disperse.
Awooh…
The wolf howls again and releases another powerful shock wave through the village. It releases a purple ring of energy from its body.
The ring expands through the village and casts a powerful hallucination on the villagers.
"Quick… the village is under attack, we have to neutralize the threat."
Various guards and ninjas surround the wolf.
"This monster… he is similar to the legendary wolf monster Roen told in tales. How is he here?"
The expression of one of the old guards turns ugly as he informs the other guards.
"What?… he is that monster."
Fear encroaches the hearts of the guard.
"Quick, send someone to ask for backup from the Kumanoi clan. Their 'blue fire powder' would help us a lot against this monster. Also, send someone to Kodon clan to request their help."
The Guard Captain orders a few of his subordinates as the rest of them engage the wolf.
"Get into the formation, we have to prevent him from further harming the village."
Hmm…
'They don't have the ability to fight this wolf. That Tenma just released a disaster on his own village.'
Izuna shakes his head as his clones continue to evacuate the villagers.
Inside the Kumanoi clan,
A middle-aged man stares out of the window as he listens to the report of one of his men.
"Hmm… so the village is under attack by a giant wolf monster. I have a hint of the identity of the culprit, but we have to stop the wolf first."
The middle-aged man turns around and orders his man.
"Ready the blue fire powder. We will blow that wolf into smithereens."
"Yes… leader."
One of his subordinates nods his head and flickers out of the room.
"All ninja techniques are useless in front of our blue fire powder. The invasion by Amegakure is a prime example of this.
Those haughty bunch of shinobis invaded our land with an army only to get annihilated by the might of our blue fire powder."
The middle-aged man closes his eyes and reminisces the past.
'It was right after the Second Shinobi War. The Amegakure was under the rule of Hanzo of the Salamander. He was feared throughout the shinobi world.
Hanzo was a master of poisons and the medicinal herbs of the Land of Medicine sparked greed in his heart. He sent his legion of shinobis to attack and plunder the Land of Medicine.'
The Middle-aged man removes the cloth from his arm to reveal a wooden stump.
'My father was the clan leader of the Kumanoi clan at that time. I was a hot-headed adult who took part in the war. It was thanks to the invention of blue fire powder by father that led our Land of Medicine to victory.'
Sigh…
The middle-aged man sighs and covers his arm.
"Monster or not… nothing can stand before the explosive power of blue fire powder."

A medical student died because of negligence of the authorities. Later, he is granted a second chance in life with some boons. But being an Otaku and Naruto fan, he chooses to live in the chaotic world of Naruto.
The story will follow canon for the initial part with a new plot. Major changes will reflect in the later part as our MC grows up. The story has strong AU elements and the power scaling is ramped up to explore various foreign elements in Naruto. Everything in its entirety will be a part of the Naruto series with details and speculations of my own.
This story is my original creation, and I post it on Scribble hub and Webnovel. You might find a few initial chapters on Royal Road. 
Note:- The starting 40 chapters or so have poor grammar and various mistakes since I was a new writer back then and lacked experience. But I am working on editing them.

Warning:-I don't own Naruto or any related stuff except my MC and Original characters and jutsus. (Yep, there are lots and lots of original jutsus in the story.)

Arriving at the tower, she could see a slightly nervous Tenma with Beril, Tricia, Quella and a few other sisters waiting by the side.
"You've finally arrived." Quella smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
"Mn, so what are we waiting around for?" Shiro asked curiously while glancing at the sisters who were standing around with anxious faces.
"Well… there was someone who went in ahead of us and let's just say it didn't end well." Quella sighed.
Pointing towards a red splatter on the ground, Shiro raised her eyebrow.
"Oh my, that's not good now is it. Did you find out anything about the monster that killed him or her?" Shiro asked curiously.
Seeing their pale faces and bad expressions, Shiro could guess that it wasn't a pleasant sight.
"Well… I think it's better for you to ask them since we came late." Quella pointed towards Tenma who was now having second thoughts.
Nodding her head, Shiro walked over.
"Yo, so I heard someone got turned to meat paste. Got any information to share?" Shiro waved her hand and walked over to their group.
Hearing the way she asked the question, both Quella and Beril face palmed with a deep sigh.
Turning around to see Shiro, Tenma only clicked his tongue seeing how nonchalant she was being.
"Yeah we do. The person managed to make it to one of the later stages but the difficulty suddenly spiked up.
When he tried to attack the monster, his sword phased through the monster's body and that opened him up to an attack from above which killed him in an instant. Unless we can hit that monster, we won't be able to reach the final stage of the skip." Tenma replied even though he was annoyed.
If anything, it was better if Shiro went ahead of him so that he could figure out what was happening.
"I see… so the person couldn't hit the monster and the fight was over quickly. Hm, that is rather unpleasant now isn't it?" Shiro mused to herself while glancing towards the other sisters who seemed to have down cast expressions.
"Beril!" Shiro called out.
"What is it?" Beril replied.
"Have you got more of that sleep powder?" Shiro asked since that would be quite helpful in the fight.
"No I don't. Sleep powder of that concentration is annoying to make." Beril shook her head.
"Tsk, a shame then." Shiro shrugged.
"So do you want to go first or should I?" Shiro glanced over at Tenma.
"Be my gue-" Before he could finish his sentence, two sisters stood in front of Shiro.
"Please reconsider. Since you have two primordial divinities, your presence is needed. Surely you don't need to take such a large risk."
Hearing this, Shiro only chuckled and patted her head.
"I got these two divinities because I took risks. In the first one, I also got turned into meat paste with a large wound on my back. You can even ask Quella and Tricia. For the second one, I almost got turned to stone. If anything, I'll need to buy time and figure out the weakness since it isn't invincible. If someone from the past could complete it, so can I." Shiro grinned and walked past the two sisters.
"Ah!"
Before they could hold Shiro back, both Beril and Tricia held their shoulders.
"Trust her. Her determination and will is one of the strongest I've seen. Her wound would have caused anyone else to pass out but she held out and laughed it off like it was nothing." Tricia smiled as she watched Shiro enter the test area in front of the tower.
Suddenly, a barrier wrapped around the area, preventing Shiro from escaping.
Smirking slightly, Shiro summoned Nivlim into her hands and waited for the monster to appear.
*Krkrkrkrkr
Hearing the clicking sound of a carapace clacking against one another, Shiro watched as an ant like monster appeared in front of her.
Raising her eyebrow, Shiro only shrugged her shoulders and dashed forwards.
*Krkrkr!!
Just as she dashed forward, the mandibles suddenly launched forward towards her upper torso.
Narrowing her eyes, Shiro bent her body back and dodged the attack with ease.
Flicking her wrist, Shiro summoned her axe in place of Nivlim and cleaved upwards.
*KRRRR!!!
Screeching out in pain, green blood poured against the ground as the axe was able to destroy the ant's armour with ease.
Flipping the ant over, Shiro decapitated it in an instant and slammed the axe pommel against the ground.
"Next." She grinned as the sisters watched her in shock.
Despite being the first monster, the ant didn't have much attack but the armour was tough. The previous challenger had spent quite a bit of effort to kill the ant since he couldn't pierce its armour but Shiro had finished the fight within a few seconds.
Even Tenma was shocked as her power was much higher than what he had expected.
Furrowing his brows, he glared at her axe and figured that most of it must be because of her weapon.
Cleaving through monsters like they were vegetables, Shiro switched between weapons with amazing fluidity.
Watching her juggle through weapons to fit different occasions, it reminded Tenma of a dance of sorts.
A lethal one that leaves tens of monster corpses in its wake.
However, despite her power and killing speed, Shiro was feeling a little tired from continuously moving around. Keeping one of the monsters on the brink of death, she retrained it under her before taking a break and getting some replenishment from her rations in the bag.
"How many more monsters are there till I get the one that can't be hit?" Shiro asked as the sisters blinked for a moment before looking at the monster beneath her.
"Ah it should be the next one." They replied in slight disbelief since Shiro had cleaved her way through the monsters with horrifying efficiency.
"Heh~ I see. That's good. Is it the last one or are there more champions after this? So far they've been quite easy." Shiro asked with a grin.
"I believe there should be four more after this one." Tricia said while flipping through a few notes.
"Oh? Four more after this one? That's interesting… I wonder what gimmick they have. After all, the first one is able to ignore physical attacks to some extent." Shiro mused while stabbing her spear through the monster's head. Killing it in one go, she hopped off with renewed vigour and prepared to face the next foe.
As the monster corpses faded into darkness, a portal of sorts opened up in front of her.
Slowly, a pair of claws ripped the portal open before glaring at her. It was a creature which looked like it was completely made from shadows as no armour could be seen on it. However, it wasn't exactly misty either.
It was as if the shadow was completely like dough and was morphed into the creature.
With no eyes and only a set of white teeth, the creature 'looked' towards her as the shadows detached itself and formed two battle axes.
Raising her eyebrows, Shiro brought out her spear and dashed forwards.
Flickering out of sight for a moment, she reappeared behind him as she held her breath and thrusted forwards.
*BANG!!!
Releasing a torrent of energy, Shiro was not surprised to see that it completely phased through the creature's body.
Raising the battle axes above its head, the creature slashed towards her.
Summoning her own battle axe, Shiro tried to parry the blades but to her surprise, it phased through her axe.
Feeling danger, Shiro quickly summoned Nivlim and stabbed towards the monster's abdominal area while backing off. She wanted to get at least one counter attack off while dodging his blades.
Just as both blades were about to hit, they phased through one another as Shiro narrowed her eyes.
While Nivlim missed its target, the monster had also missed her which gave her some clues on how its body worked.
'Hou… I think I have an idea on his ability.' Shiro thought with a smile as the spectators were surprised that the monster's blade had phased through Shiro.
"Does she have the same ability?" Tenma asked with a frown but Tricia shook her head.
"No she does not. But I think we're about to find out why she was able to phase through the axes soon." Tricia said as she recognised this look on Shiro's face. It was one that understood what she was doing and had a plan up her sleeves. 


I'm captured? Fine, I can't help it since I can't move.

Experimented on? At least give me some anaesthetic.

I'm freed? Let me get some revenge.

Want to plead for your life? Sorry, this miss here holds a grudge.

I destroyed the lab so now let me explore this world freely.

I somehow joined Mr Hero's party. Fine, he seems fun.

"Aiya, how cruel. For the honour of being a hero you'd kill this missy huh?" She smiled whilst bleeding out.

"Che, you still have the mind to joke right now?" He said with a glare.

"What is life if not to enjoy every moment? Since I'm going to die and I can't avenge myself, I hope someone else does."

"No one will. You were the only one who was more powerful than I with your Nanomancy. Now with you out of th-"

"Hush child. I'm trying to die in peace here."

"But I'm ol-!"

"Ap! Good children don't disturb their elders."

"But yo-!"

"Bye~" She grinned before losing strength.

"FUCK!"
…

Why am I sleeping in the snowfields?

Mr Wolves are growling at me. Hungry huh?... Me too.

Upon arriving at bus stop Kim bid farewell to him it almost dark before leaving Kim give small kiss at his cheek as thank you spend his time with her. as Kim left Ashton went to port side area there all Hunter's are gathering around and wait for Gate to open upon arriving he met a guy wearing samurai armor and Carried Nodachi.

I woke up the next day hearing someone talking downstairs.
I went to see who was that and saw uncle yagi and my dad talking

"Hey tenma , You up" Noticing me dad called out to me. 

"Yeah , hey there uncle yagi how are you?"I asked allmight who was looking at me.

"I am doing very well young tenma" he said with a thumbs up.

After that i went to brush my teeth and such . Then to my mom to eat my breakfast.

"Mom i'm heading to sensei's" I told my mom after finishing eating.

"Okay , don't work too much , got it....!"

"Yeah yeah , bye . love you.
Bye dad and uncle yagi" I called out to them rushing outside.

------------------------------------------

"As i said yamato , you need to leave. It's not safe for you and your family here."

"No , yagi i already told you this. I can't let you handle him alone. Do you want to end up just like your master."

"....But if you stay he might steal your quirk too. He's been eyeing it for sometime now"

"I know that , but if i just be careful it will be all fine"

"Why don't you understand..! In the midst of battle you can't expect nothing unexpected to happen. And if he gets a hold of your quirk just imagine how much harm could he unleash with it."

"...."

"That's why i'm telling you. Just for a bit. you need to stay away from here. And who knows if he finds about that tenma inherited both your quirks , he might go after the kid too." Allmight said gravely.

"That's...." Yamato frowned.

"I think he's right yamato. We should stay away for sometime. I will not be able to forgive myself if something happens to my boy." Kyoko also said worriedly.

-------------------------------------------

I opened the door of sensei's house and entered.
"Heeeeeeeey old maaaaan. You heeere...."
"Why are you shouting boy. I can here you not deaf ."
"Ahhh so you were here after all."
"Why are you late today."
"Late... it's still 9 am."
"No excueses , give me 100 pushups right now"
"Damn old man , you trying to went the one weak pressure on me at once " I mumbled as started doing pushups.
"No talking....."
"....."

After a few hours.

"Damn my muscles  are sore doing all those workouts after a break."

"Never let your muscles rust boy. Come on let's continue the sparring."

"Okay , come on today i will manage a hit on you."I said readying my wooden sword.

"You wish....." He said closing our distance and swinging his sword at me.

"Don't underestimate me old man." I was somewhat confident because my body would continue to improve everyday because of the absorption of darkness. 
And since the incident at the todoroki house the rate had gone up again.


So the old man was a little surprised at my improvement in speed.

Taking that as an advantage I quickly dodged the incoming attack and aimed for his leg.

But  "you're improving kid but still light-years away from beating me."

He grinned at me before putting his sword aiming for my neck.


"Damn you're a monster " I said sitting down on the floor due to the exhaustion.

"Well that's good for today boy , go home and take rest ." he said  waving his hands and went back inside the house.

"Well I would take that one gladly." I rose up panting a little bit and started walking home .

From the top of the old house the old hero looked at the boy walking away thinking.

"Now you're calling me a monster , boy. If anyone else saw how fast you are improving they might faint."

He rubbed his leg where a small bruise with a little blood could be seen.

When I reached home uncle yagi had already gone.

Seeing me enter the house. Dad called me to the living room

"What happened dad..?"

"How's your training with sensei going on "

"It's going great ..... he said that I was making remarkable improvements lately."
 I said shrugging at the serious mood in the room.

"Listen tenma your school will be over in two weeks right"

"Yes , what about it..? Oh if this is about the exam don't worry I got it covered." 

"No this is not about it don't worry."

"Then what..."

"We were actually thinking about going oversees."

"Going abroad ...! Why so suddenly....?"

"I have some work there and your mom also suggested taking you two with me."

"But you know that I wanted to study on UA right. And what about training with sensei , what about fuy.... my friends...?" I asked panicking.

"Don't worry , we aren't staying there permanently , when it's time for you to start high school we'll come back."

"Isn't there any way that I can stay here ..... please." I asked both of them with pleading eyes.

"No tenma , we have to go " dad said sternly.

"No I'm not going anywhere."

"come on sweety we are doing this for your own good." mom tried to make me understand.
"I said NO" I said the last part screening and went inside my room.

"Tenma , come back here." I heard my mom shouting at me.

"No , leave him alone. He must have a lot going through his head now." dad told mom slowly.

"Why would they want to go away now . And what happened to me . I was acting like a kid back there."
"Well technically i am a kid , still I'm grown up inside right ." 
I thought as a few tears came down my eyes.
After crying a little i fell asleep.
------------------------------------------------

Right now I'm in a dark place. But surprisingly i can see everything around me somehow very clearly.

There's a big black cocoon with the demon mark on it behind me . It is somehow related to my demon powers..?

"Hello there , So nice to finally meet you ... TENMA."  a voice came from the dark corner.

"Who's there " I was startled by the sudden noice.

"Me .....? I'm just a nobody. But if you want you can call me SHADOW."

"Shadow...? what a cliché name" i said mockingly.


"Touché .... you're not half bad yourself. Reincarnated into another world."


"YOU....,How do you know about that" i asked emitting a bit of demonic power out.


"Oh , I know everything about you. Your past your present and unfortunately not the future."


I was staring at him confused as he continue.


"Because that's what you are an 'uncertainty'."
.
.
.
"And that's what I'm too..."

A typical otaku reincarnates into the world of my hero academia with the power of Meliodas from nanatsu no taizai. Watch the story as he uses his powers become a hero.

"What's happeni— YAWN"
 "What's happening? We're . . . in our new base!"
 "Really? What does it look like? Can we go adventure?"
 "Not right now . . . a monster attacked our base and we're trying to fight it off."
 "Aww."
 "I'll wake you up when the monster is gone, okay?"
 "Okay!"
 After that, Tenma falls asleep. Kaori lets loose a breath of relief. "I'll wake you up, that is, IF no one survives," she mutters to herself. "But that doesn't mean that I won't protect you," she says.
 "Mesamerga – Runé!"
 Light that that resembled the shape of vines is created and start homing right at Behemoth. It lets out a roar, which completely neutralized the Magic spell. Not only did it do that, the roar also struck fear into those in the battlefield.
 "W–What?! That was one of my best spells!"
 "Looks like it's not a mindless beast, after all. It was able to adapt to your Magic, with just one hit taken."
 Sakaki summons two shurikens into his hands, he chants "Lock-On," again, and fires them at Behemoth, who then uses its roar to deflect the shurikens —— unsuccessfully. One of the ninja stars exploded in his mouth, while the other exploded close to its cheek.
 "Doesn't look like its adapted to my shurikens yet, though."
 He, in turn, fires two more shurikens, which Behemoth fails to deflect, and explodes.
 "But, it's only a matter of time before it does—!"
* * * *
 "YAWN— Why was there a roar, Ms. Kaori?"
 "Uh . . . The monster still hasn't gone away yet."
 "Somebody should tell the monster to leave! Hmph!"
 "Y–Yeah!"
 Kaori's ears start moving like they just picked up a signal. In the blink of an eye, Kaori grabs Tenma and rolls away, as fast as she can. She puts her down and aims her bow from where the 'attack' came from. Her enhanced hearing picks up some slithering.
 "A snake . . ?"
 It became clear what had actually attacked them. It wasn't a snake, but it was definitely serpentine. It was Behemoth's tail; it acted . . . and attacked them, like a predator would attack its food—— it seemed like it had a mind of its own.
 "Its tail is this large? . ."
 She looks all around her and finds Behemoth fighting Kaname and Sakaki — while having one of its eyes glaring at her. She aims her bow at the tail that was wrapped around the tree. She smiles with all her might.
 "I kind of knew that I would have to fight it, prematurely."
 Her smile was to tell Tenma to not be afraid, because she was there, without really needing to tell her. But before she was able to even react, the tail knocks away her bow and snatches Tenma. Kaori chases after it and manages to catch up. She grabs onto Tenma's tiny and frail hands, then starts to pull them with all her might.
 "I'm not going to let go of you!—"
 No one could really help her. Justice was nowhere to be found, and the others were too busy directly fighting Behemoth to help her. And, they couldn't retreat to help her, either, otherwise, they'd all be killed by Behemoth – fast. 
With no other option left Kaori opens her mouth, which revealed several sharp animal-like teeth. She bites and effectively rips off parts of the tail. She pulls Tenma out once most of the tail was gone. It retracts back to Behemoth, who wasn't shocked or in pain, despite the current situation of the tail. The tail just regenerates back. 
Seeing that Behemoth was still glaring at them, she tries to look for a weapon to fight back with, since she knew that her bow would be useless against Behemoth. Without time to react Behemoth attacks them with her tail again.
"What?!"
* * * *
 Sakaki continued to use his golden shurikens since Behemoth still wasn't able to counter them. Since her offensive Magic was now considered "useless" against Behemoth, Kaname decided to fully play the role of support, by casting buffs on Sakaki and his attacks, while simultaneously casting debuffs on Behemoth. 
 "Sakaki, we need a new plan, your shurikens will become ineffective soon, and it doesn't look like you have much of them left."
 "You're right. Do you have anything in mind?"
 "I have an offensive Move that could harm Behemoth, but I need a huge amount of time to cast it. During that time, it could adapt and immediately kill us."
During that time, they heard Kaori scream.
"–"
"–"
 Blood started spraying onto Kaori's rosy face. When she opened her eyes, there was a man with red hair standing in front of her, he cut the tail into pieces. He turns around to Kaori sitting on her knees. Behind her was Tenma, who was still clinging onto her, the same way Kaori was clinging onto her when the tail grabbed her.
 "Sorry that it took me a while to help. I'm not proficient in healing Magic."
 "Right . . ."
 He exits the forest and enters the battlefield.
 "Justice, what was that scream?!"
 "Behemoth tried attacking Kaori and Tenma with his tail, but I intervened at the right time; they're both fine!"
 "Ah. At least everything is alright."
 "Not really. We still have to focus on the real issue at hand, Behemoth. Did you guys manage to find a weakness, while I was gone?"
 "It knows how to counter my Magic, so our only hope of beating it is with Sakaki's shurikens, but that's going nowhere. — But, I do have an attack that could harm it, I need a lot of time to chant it, I suppose. Can you guys cover me?"
 The two men shake their head up and down. They ready their weapons and attack. Justice uses his sword, which he enhances with Magic, again. And, Sakaki, uses a Kyoketsu-shoge. A blade that is connected to a long chain with a ring at the end of it. There is another curved blade attached near the hilt of the blade.
 "I'm very experienced with this weapon than many of my others. So, watch out, Behemoth, fighting in a forest is a Ninja's forte!"
 Sakaki jumps into a tree with supersonic speeds. The blade part of the Kyoketsu is fired at Behemoth, who deflects it, which causes the blade to get stuck to another tree. Sakaki jumps out of the tree with the ring part in his hand. He rushes over to Behemoth with incomparable speed. Sakaki tries putting the ring on its trunk, but Behemoth tries to parry it with his claws. Which leads to Sakaki putting the ring onto its arm.
He grabs the blade that was stuck to a tree and proceeds to jump into the aforementioned tree. Behemoth's arm was lifted up by the chains.
"Justice! Now!"
With the enhanced sword in his hand Justice slashes and slashes through Behemoth's armor. Effectively harming it in the process. While the two were doing that, Kaname was gathering her Mana into one spot, so she could fire all of it at Behemoth with a single blast. She begins to recite an incantation.
"O' luminous God of light — No."
Her eyebrows sank, she was disappointed. She couldn't focus on keeping her Mana in one place nor could she focus on the incantation. All her attention went towards Justice. She couldn't take her eyes off of him, despite needing to cast the spell. He notices that she was staring at him.
"Kaname? What's wrong?"
"It's . . . er . . . Nothing!"
"Justice, watch out!—"
Sakaki gets sent flying at a tree by Behemoth's tail. Justice notices this and re-joins the battle—— again. Kaname breathes in and breathes out calmly. 
"I have to focus on the battle too . . . !"
She closes her eyes and blue specs of light appear around her. All of the specs all start flying towards the tip of her Staff. Instead of getting absorbed by the staff, the specs surround the tip. More and more specs appear and surround the tip as she says the incantation. 
"O' luminous God of light, wipe out all the evil in this world. Thou shall smite all my enemies with your Divine Hammer of judging. Darkness is nothing, but the absence of Light. Show thou Divine Retribution to all the sinners, and banish all evil with thou Omnipotent power. Let all the righteous people witness thou mercy! — Aria Stoci Wud: The Chains from Heaven!"
The blue specs that were enveloping the tip of Kaname's staff get absorbed into it. Kaname lifts up her staff and a massive line of blue light is fired from the staff and into the air, clearing out all the clouds that made the sky look so gloomy. Once the beam of light disappears, two chains made out of light were shot out of the sky. 
They start homing into Behemoth. It grows a pair of devil-like wings and flies away to avoid the attack—it still wasn't able to avoid the chains, though. After binding him, they send him crashing downwards. The crash creates a smoke wall that blocks the view on what happened. More chains are fired from the sky and home into the spot where Behemoth crashed, then creating more smoke.
"Did it work? . . ."
"Let's hope it did."
All of them let out a gasp. When the smoke clears . . . it shows that Behemoth wasn't defeated—— it was still able to stand up normally, and despite being thrown from so high up in the sky and then being pelted by more chains, he still only had a few bruises.
"Not . . . even . . . that could . . . defeat it? . . ."
Kaname collapses, as a result of her using too much Mana. But the good thing was that she wasn't dead. Losing consciousness by exerting too much Mana was very normal; it wasn't much to worry about. But, what WAS to worry about is Behemoth.
"Kaname!"
"Ah. So it's back."
Justice and Sakaki turn around. Beyond Behemoth was a man with blonde hair. Behind that man, were a bunch more people, all with weapons in their hands, ranging from Bows to swords, to axes. The blonde haired man carried a long pole-like weapon with him. It looked to be either a spear or a lance. Noticing their numbers, Behemoth uses its wings to retreat.
"Is that you, Sakaki?! Did ya finally bring those friends of yers?!"
"Sakaki, do you know him?"
"Yeah, he's one of the people I met while searching for a new base!"
"Wait— So you found even more people to join the resistance?! That's great! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Kaori jumps out of the tree she was hiding in. In her arms was a sleeping Tenma, that had tears all over her face.
"She thought you guys were going to die."
Kaori quickly laughs it off, acting like she didn't think the same thing.
"Are Y'all coming or not?!"
Justice rushes over to Kaname and carries her via piggyback. And, follows Sakaki, and Tenma, who were following the Blonde haired man to their new base. Kaori walks over to Justice.
"I'm sorry for being useless. . ."
"It's not your fault that your arrows didn't work against it."
The blonde haired man stops and raises his hand. The entire area in front of him started to look like reality was being warped. A few seconds later, the 'reality warping' stopped, and a gate resembling a black hole opened. 
"Follow me."
Everyone followed him into the gate. None of the people who followed him, save for Justice and Kaori were shocked at what they saw. The place they were in, did not in the slightest even look like a "hideout," or anything of the like. It was full of people — both old and young— and it looked like a village. The entire place looked festive. Sakaki turns around to Justice and Kaori who were still shocked at what they saw.
"Welcome to Herbe Village!— Our new base!"
