Chapter 6: My new life
"He killed his parents?" wondered Midoria.
The moment I finished talking everyone's gaze turned to Shigaraki.
"No, Noo, NOoo," he whispered like a hopeless kid.
Whispers that fastly turned into scary screams.
"Liar LIAR LIAR, NO Father that's not true, ohh I am sorry Father, I won't do it again. HEHEhahahahahaaa, I will destroy everyone everything I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL" Harder than any time before, Shigaraki screamed itching his neck so hard he started cutting his meat.
"NOW" exploiting the chance I made and with a single thought, two small rockets launched from my shoulders toward the mentally ill Shigaraki.
Having a mental breakdown, Shigaraki was in No position to order the Nomo to shield him, Kurogiri tried to open a portal to deflect the rockets but Aizawa erased his quirck.
'If I could kill him now, half this world's problems would be solved...FUCK the plot, AFO won't be able to find, manipulate and train another puppet in the little time he has left. Usually, heroes will never think of killing, but Aizawa knew it was us or him. He is controlling the Nomo. A being so strong that he is not sure the injured All Might can handle him.
Unfortunately, this was almost for nothing. At the last second, The Nomo protected Shigaraki from the missiles.
"Tsk, that was close."
"playing with you all is no longer enjoyable, Nomo just do it" ordered Shigaraki while looking at me with killing intent.
"What? Sorry I don't go that way" I said trying to buy some seconds.
But before I could even finish The Nomo grabbed me. 'I am fucked', that was not supposed to end like that. I was careless, I underestimated the enemy power just because we are early in the plot.
Like a small stick, he cracked my arm with a single move.
"Aghh" shit that hurts, it fucking hurts more than anything I've ever encountered. I tried not to scream but the pain was more than I could handle.
'Mentle note: +1 respect point to Aizawa for not shouting like a bitch (that's what I am doing by the way)'
I found it funny how I am not taking anything seriously since I woke up in this world.
Not even my life, well what would happen if I die? Would I wake up and all this would be just one of those long-ass dreams? Would I just die? Is all this even real? Then if I died where would I go? Heaven? Hell? Are they multiversal or there is a heaven-hell combo for each world?
Why am I even thinking about that?
They say people's true nature appears when facing death, for me it was a moment of realization. Like the last piece of the puzzle finally got in its place. 'I never believed in this world.'
That justifies why I didn't care about killing, how I suddenly got the courage to fight supernatural beings and high robots with no fear although I was shaking when about to fight a classmate in the past.
Maybe it was a survival mechanism to save me from the unknown, from the scary fact that I am a powerless kid in a world where almost everyone can instantly kill me.
In my defense, no normal functioning human could just cut all ties with his world just because he got reincarnated.
Do you seriously want me to believe that fiction is real and just like that start grinding for power and pussy for no reason?
Without even realizing it, I ended up smiling. Accepting the near end of my new short life. At least I really enjoyed it.
Or that's what I thought.
Looking at the upcoming who wanted to kill me with his own hands, This mistake from the villain gave me a few seconds to live, seconds that allowed Shoto to frize the Nomo, followed by a big explosion from Bakogo.
"Only I can kill him you brat" Shouted Bakogo.
Then at a high speed, Deku who was shaking like a little rat a moment before, completed the trio combo with a 100% punch.
The sudden temperature changes allowed Midoria to turn half the Nomo into dust, which freed me from the death sentence I was in.
Completely shocked, My mind just lagged, I had no idea what to do anymore, not even how to react, just to be carried by Ida away from the center.
Completely exhausted, My armor is broken, with 0 energy, now that the adrenaline started fading, the side effect of my quirck started showing.
The headache alone was killing me, and my vision blurred. I was no more than a heavy burden.
Back on the battlefield, The nomo regenerated in a moment, making everyone's heart sink.
'It's over, there is nothing more we can do' a hopeless thought crossed their minds.
Until
"No need to worry anymore. why? Because I am here" a famous sentence that everyone heard countless times before.
But this time, it gave them hope.
The angry All Might with the other UA teachers finally arrived and from there, it was almost like anime.
Almost because this time everyone is here earlier than in the anime. So the "All Might VS Nomo" wasn't that bad and didn't affect his strength that much.
The pro heroes handled everything and caught all the villains except Shigaraki and Kurugiri. They barely managed to escape with heavier injuries.
Away from all that, Alex was sent to Recovery Girl with All Might and Midoria.
With that, the villains' league ambush ended
As for Alex: "I am a complete failure" I say
I was completely useless, I knew about the ambush but I did nothing! My plan shattered faster than armor the moment I faced something strong. I have a system but I wasted my points with a weak quirck.
I was very naive! Playing the hero game thinking that I am some kind of a hero that will always survive and ends up winning just because of the plot armor.
I was lucky. Very lucky that everything ended up working perfectly fine till now. I was not prepared, careless, and arrogant.
Dealing with life like an endy game, while I am trapped in a soul-like world where everything is corrupted, villains everywhere. The government is as bad as it possibly can be.
"Maybe that's not for me. Was it a mistake?" I asked although I knew the answer.
After all, I am not the type of person who can sit while asking others to fight for me.
I don't care what world I am in, whether I have a "cheat" or not. I will always stand for myself, am the type of person people ask for help not the other way around.
"haaaah" Letting a sight out, I started analyzing everything I did from the moment I opened my eyes on this world.
I don't regret my choices. I never do.
Because I chose what I thought was the best choice at the moment, those choices are what made me what I am today.
I got up and left the clinic, step by step, with no clear destination.
Thinking about the past, present, and future.
Without realizing it, I ended up in the place I spent most of my free time in.
"She still here?" I entered the support department just to end up looking into 'Mei Hatsume' The genius that helped me create X1.
She was so focused on her work although it was already nighttime, although everybody had left. She is still giving her best no matter what.
Seeing how she had a clear mind and goal that she could give her best into.
I felt envious.
Yet that only lasted a moment before I lost myself watching her. I had no idea how much time had passed.
"Watching people's hard work is really inspiring isn't it?" I heard a calm voice saying to me.
Getting me out of my zoomed-out statue, I felt no danger so I calmly turned to find a cute hamster with silky wool that makes anyone see it wanna pat it, a formal little suit, and a sharp but kind sight under a skart on his right eye that gave a feeling of high intelligence.
That was the principal of the UA high school.
"Good afternoon Alex Kun I am Nezu the principal of UA" he added with a smile.
"Good afternoon Nezu san" I replied
"You look lost, maybe I can help you"
"You know, sometimes we gotta stop and think about what we are doing," I said
"That's true, life sometimes moves so fast we end up on autopilot mode to keep up. But sometimes it is good to stop for a moment to make sure we do not lose ourselves" he advised and I just nodded back.
After a moment of silence, I cracked the silence: " Isn't it amazing how some people can be" I meant Mei, and he as an intelligent man, or hamster, knew exactly what I meant.
"Everyone has his unique power points, take you as an example: you are really inspiring and did a great job holding against those villains while informing us. You are a hero, Alex Kun"
I could've argued back about this point, about how this world needs to change. But I didn't bother since I knew well the type of person Nezu was.
"YES, I finally completed it. Ohh my precious child" Shouted Mei ending the deep conversation about life philosophy that was going on between a teenager and a hamster.
As if she just achieved a great achievement, which is true. Mei was really happy about her new Baby. Influencing both of us to smile.
As she turned back, Mei finally noticed us.
"Ohh you all are here, Principal San, Alex come here to see my new baby"
interrupting her, stated Nezu: "Congratulations Mei-chan I can see you are working hard. But what about a little rest, It's about time to go home isn't it"
"iiih it is already that late? I didn't notice hehe" she said
"Let's just go together, I have some cool ideas we can work on" The moment she heard that, her eyes sparkled as she forgot about Nezy and ran excitedly talking about her new 'babies'.
Watching us going further and further, Nezu opened his mouth again: "Kids those days are so mature" while a weak smile slipped from his hairy mouth.
"What do you think about him?" said the new upcoming Toshinori Yagi (All Might).
"He is safe, there is no way someone with his personality would work under him" replied the principal
"Although he isn't a hero like Medoria Kun & Mirio Kun. he has good intentions, he just needs proper guidance" quickly added
"But his ways are..." said Yagi
"Yeah, he could easily fall into that endless abyss, thank god he chose to come to us," said Nezu as the sound of their footsteps ended up being the only proof of their existence...

[Author note:]
Hello everybody...
I wanted to write longer and more chapters but I am really busy so here is a quick one just to stay in touch.
Although note a lot happened but the decisions Mc did and the impact on his actions and how he finally started accepting his new reality is a must for the character development.
BTW, Now I understand why the mangaka and authors ends up using "plot Armor" like seriously teenagers are dump so when you write about a teenager he will end up doing stupid shit cause he is weak and unexperienced so there is really no other choice but to use plot armor for a while
I hope you enjoyed it at least
Another thing is we are finally able to rank as the story exceeded 15K word, so leave your power stone if you liked the story so far
Thats it, See you all later.
