Japan, Saitama Prefecture.
In the Kanemochi quarter, a gated community boasted high walls, Professional Quirk Users as guardians and security cameras at every corner. Only those with significant financial means or heroes with considerable influence could afford to live here.
Inside one of the villas, specifically in what appeared to be the training room, a teenager with dark purplish hair stood in front of the mirror. The boy wore only shorts, revealing his lean physique.
The training room had a minimalist design, featuring white walls, a small TV hanging on the wall, and minimal equipment—just a punching bag, and a set of weights and barbells.
Yūgen effortlessly lifted the eighty-pound dumbbells, his face indifferent as he watched his reflection in the mirror.
"Breaking news from the bustling city of Musutafu, where a terrifying villain has struck again. The Sludge Villain has targeted yet another victim, this time a young boy on his way home from school."
"Huh? Sludge Villain? Musutafu city?"
Yūgen paused and quickly turned back to focus on the news.
The TV on the wall displayed footage of a green sludge monster capturing a young blond boy in a black school uniform. The boy struggled against the Sludge Villain's grip, his eyes filled with fury and determination.
"This blond boy should be Bakugo Katsuki, the 'friend' of the protagonist, Izuku Midoriya," Yūgen muttered with interest.
Bakugo unleashed a barrage of explosions, attempting to break free. The Sludge Villain's grip tightened, but Bakugo gritted his teeth, refusing to give up.
"Such destructive power. I'm really envious," Yūgen said casually, his tone showing no emotion. He believed in the potential of his own quirk, confident it wouldn't pale in comparison to Bakugo's strength.
"Although my quirk can't match his in terms of brute force, mine is versatile. I can compensate for the lack of strength through training my body."
Yūgen stopped his comparison and focused on the news, listening to the female reporter's words.
"According to eyewitnesses, the Sludge Villain enveloped the teenager's body in a thick layer of sludge, taking control of his quirk and nearly killing him. Pro Heroes rushed to the scene, but their efforts were hindered by the intense flames and chaos caused by the explosions."
Yūgen's purple eyes narrowed as he watched the chaos unfold on the TV screen. When the camera showed Mt. Lady, Yūgen couldn't help but widen his eyes in appreciation.
'Sister Yu is really hot in her hero costume and gigantification. I really want to swim inside her gigantic oppais!' Yūgen couldn't help but lick his lips at the thought, but he quickly refocused on the important events.
"It's going to start," Yūgen muttered.
"That's bad! It's only a matter of time before the Sludge Villain completely swallows the boy! Is there any hero to save this pitiful boy?" the female reporter said anxiously.
Suddenly, a green-haired boy wearing the same black uniform as the blond rushed towards the villain, attracting everyone's attention.
"A green-haired boy is seen running toward the Sludge Villain. Judging from his uniform, he must be a friend of the victim. The situation will be even worse if he gets captured or injured!"
Looking at the green-haired boy rushing bravely to save his friend, Yūgen sighed.
"Izuku Midoriya... I really can't understand you, but this doesn't stop me from admiring your courage...also your stupidity."
Without any quirk, rushing to save his 'friend,' knowing he may lose his life, yet he didn't hesitate to do it. Yūgen couldn't comprehend why someone would risk their life to save their bully. If he were in Midoriya's place, he would be jumping with excitement, wishing Bakugo would be swallowed by the villain.
The relationship between Bakugo and Midoriya was something he couldn't understand in his previous life. nor he wants to understand it in this life.
Just when the green-haired boy reached a suitable distance, he threw his backpack accurately towards the villain's eye, the only vulnerable part.
The content hit the villain's eye, making him scream in pain. The green-haired boy used this distraction to attempt to free his friend, but his strength wasn't enough.
The Sludge Villain angrily attacked the green-haired boy, its slime whip rushing towards him. It seemed all was lost when a hulking blond figure appeared and threw a powerful punch, shattering the villain into countless pieces.
It was All Might, the symbol of peace, who had come to save the day.
Yūgen turned off the TV, stood up, and walked towards the window. His purple hair fell over his forehead as he looked out, his eyes reflecting the light of the setting sun.
"So the plot is finally going to start," he muttered to himself. "The gears of fate are turning, and the world from now on is heading toward the abyss."
"I must take her away from this damned country." he said, his voice determined. "I'll make sure that I'm strong enough to protect what's important to me."
"I'll protect her! I won't lose anyone anymore!"
His fists clenched, ready to resume his training.
As Yūgen was about to resume his workout, he felt a sudden jolt in his chest. A voice echoed through his mind.
"Congratulations, host Yūgen. The gears of fate have turned, and the Lust System has been activated."
Yūgen jumped up, startled by the sudden intrusion into his thoughts. He looked around the room, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Who's there?" he asked, his voice shaky, afraid that some villain with a telepathic quirk was playing jokes on him.
"I am the Lust System, a powerful system that will aid you in your journey. But first, you must complete a task," the voice continued.
Yūgen's heart skipped a beat as he heard the word "system." He couldn't believe it—the one thing he had been hoping for, the one thing that could make all the difference, had finally appeared before him. After years of waiting and giving up hope, the system had materialized right in front of his eyes.
As a reincarnator, Yūgen knew the importance of having a system or cheat in this new world. It could mean the difference between life and death, success or failure. Without it, he would simply be another disposable character.
"Lust system? I got a bad feeling..." The name of his system didn't seem serious at all, and he started to worry about what nasty functions this Lust System might have. He placed his worries in the back of his head.
"You said I must complete a task? What task? Can I refuse? What will happen if I fail?" he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.
"Refusing or failing in the task won't harm you. It will only make you lose the qualification of owning the system, so the system will go to other worlds and search for a suitable host. The memories of the system will be erased from your mind."
Yugen was silent for a while. Although the consequences of failing seemed to bring him no harm, Yugen believed that the biggest harm would be losing a cheat that could change his life and bring him endless benefits.
"Okay, please tell me the task. No matter what it is, I must definitely complete it!" Yugen had already made up his mind; this was an opportunity to change his destiny and the destiny of his loved ones.
"With this system, maybe I don't need to escape to another country..." Yugen started dreaming of the endless possibilities even before he knew the functions of the system or succeeded in its task.
"Your task is..."
Before hearing the other words of the system, the door of the training room was opened, and a tall, curvaceous woman with sky-blue eyes entered.
-----Author Thoughts----
SAiko THIS!
I'm currently working on this My Hero Academia fanfic out of sheer boredom. Unlike my primary focus on the Hunter x Hunter fanfic, this one will be more of a side project, serving as an emotional outlet. I don't plan to be consistent in writing it. So far, I've only penned about ten thousand words, and depending on the audience's reaction, I'll decide whether to continue or just stop here. I'll be writing it based on my mood at the time.
Let's do this! For every twenty power stones I receive, I'll write a 1500 words chapter.
