Capítulo 5: The Code to Success
So I did some mining off camera.
It's been two months since I was unceremoniously dropped off in this universe and I've actually accomplished a lot. I'll get into what I've done soon though. First I want to talk about Izuku.
It's hard not to be proud of his progress. Here was this twig shaped teen that was putting himself though a hellish training regimen so he can achieve his dreams. In the past two months he had made a lot of progress. He had a long way to go but he was on his way there.
Honestly I felt like I was cheating. I had gotten more gains than Izuku in the past two months just by using Growth Surge every day and performing a regular exercise regimen that had quickly become easy.
Am I a bad brother for not using Growth Surge on Izuku?
Maybe, but it just felt wrong to interfere. I don't know why but something deep in my gut was telling me not to interfere with his training. Once he has One For All then I'll start using Growth Surge on him sometimes but for now I just don't think I should use it on him.
Plus it would be pretty noticeable if he started growing muscle at a rapid pace. He was already growing fast and Growth Surge would just make it infinitely more noticeable. All Might would notice something immediately.
Best to just leave it alone.
After a month of using Growth Surge and building up my body I realized that I had become stiff. I hadn't really been stretching at all and I suffered for it. I couldn't even touch my toes anymore. To rectify that I included intense yoga in my exercises.
And now, in present time, I feel like Spiderman. Doing crazy stretches with my new flexible body. Growth Surge really was an amazing quirk.
Other than expanding the type of training I was doing, I was also cultivating quirks. The Tinder quirk was getting stronger at a fast pace with each new generation of squirrels that inherited it. To the point that I actually needed to command the squirrels not to use the quirk since I was worried they would set the park on fire now.
The squirrels would survive, the Tinder quirk had evolved to make their bodies nearly immune to heat, but the other animals wouldn't survive.
Tinder had also merged with Pyrokinesis now (I still call it Tinder) so the squirrels could actually shoot out beams of fire.
Honestly, I feel like I could become a great Hero with just Tinder. Endeavor had Hellflame which was now the same as the Tinder quirk I had cultivated but I was hoping for more. I have another eight months so I'm sure I'll be able to cultivate something even better.
A new quirk I had cultivated was Skill Book.
[Skill Book: The user can instantly acquire any skill or knowledge described in a book by touching it. Upon activation, the book transforms into energy that is directly absorbed by the user's mind and body, granting the user mastery of the skill as if they had trained or studied it extensively. However, the book is destroyed in the process.]
After visiting different hospitals and crematoriums many times I happened upon two specific quirks that made the creation of Skill Book possible.
[Consume: Allows the user to absorb energy by consuming objects through touch. The quirk converts anything the user touches into energy, which is directly absorbed into their body.]
[Speed Reading: Enables the user to read and memorize text at an extraordinary speed, allowing them to process and retain written information far faster than normal.]
These were the two spoils of my grave robbing that I was able to use to create Skill Book.
Everything was worth it just to create this skill.
Another quirk I stole from the deceased was Photomind.
[Photomind: The user can enhance their memory to recall anything with perfect clarity and learn new information quickly. Memories are stored like vivid snapshots, making retrieval effortless. Overuse can cause headaches.]
Skill Book allows me instant mastery over a subject and Photomind allows me to enhance my memory and learn new info quickly. Although I have found that using Photomind for too long puts a lot of strain on me and causes splitting headaches, It's still a great quirk
Using Skill Book and Photomind in tandem allowed me to do something I had been wanting to do in this world for a while now in this world. Make a video game.
It's been maybe 150 or 200 years since quirks started appearing in humanity. Even with all my research I wasn't able to figure out the timeline. The early days, when quirks first started appearing, had caused a lot of problems for humanity. Society had collapsed and with it a lot of entertainment such as video games, movies, and videos had not been preserved.
It was kind of a miracle that society was as advanced as it currently was. It could have been a lot worse. I remember a line from somewhere, not sure where I heard it, but it was said that if quirks hadn't existed humans would have invented sustainable space travel.
I totally agree with that. Humanity would have been a lot more advanced, but at the same time it could have been a lot worse. We were all lucky to only lose some progress and not all of it.
Anyway, the collapse of society could be said to be a good thing for me. I don't know exactly what games existed when quirks first came into existence but they were long gone and nobody had been able to preserve them so I didn't need to worry about any plagiarism that I was definitely going to do.
It's not like the games would have been the same as what I had in my old world but if they were then now I knew there was no possibility that I'd be sued.
Anyway, using Skill Book, I was able to consume books on coding, art, music, and video game design. This took me a while. I wasn't able to do it all at once. The flood of information was too much so it took like an hour rest between each use of Skill Book.
Using Photomind I was able to clearly remember details about the games I played in my first life.
Using the skills I learned and Photomind I was able to recreate a personal favorite of mine.
Undertale.
It had a simple yet well done art style. A good story, amazing music, and simple enough mechanics that I believed I would be able to recreate the game as long as I focused on it.
It took Toby Fox nearly 3 years to create Undertale and he did that almost on his own. I didn't think it would be easy but I was certain I would be able to skip a lot of the steps of development just by copying what I remember.
I'd been working on the game for the past month using a game engine called PixelBloom. It started as a pixel art game making engine that had over the years evolved into a great game engine for all kinds of games.
I'd wanted to create my own game engine but I only realized how tedious and difficult that would be on my own once I consumed those coding books. I'd just have to stick to PixelBloom for now.
I wasn't done with the game yet but I estimate that in a month's time I'll be able to have recreated everything the original had.
I'm not making a game to advance the gaming industry or anything like that. I just want to make money.
So what if this game breaks the mold by not having a Hero focus.
God damn do I hate the fact that somehow everything in this world is focused on heroes. All the games feel like the same exact cash grab trying to make a quick buck on whichever hero was popular at the time.
How many games can people make about heroes running around a fake city and fighting crime? They are well made but none of them are branching out and doing something new. It's just repetitive at this point.
I'm sure the industry will appreciate something new.
And I'll make money. Money is all that matters.
Ignoring my blatant plagiarism of a popular game, what else did I do?
Inko had lost a bunch of weight with Growth Surge which was nice. She'd be back to what she looked like when Izuku and I were four in no time. She'd even gotten a little taller, I'm not sure how that works but I'm happy for her.
Other than that I hadn't really done much other than go to school.
School was fine. I always thought it would be constant bullying because of the quirklessness but it wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be. People just kind of ignored Izuku and I, which sucks for Izuku because he doesn't have friends but was great for me since I didn't plan on being friends with anyone at this school.
There were other quirks I tried to cultivate but I hadn't really had much success yet. Hopefully I'll be able to create what I need before the entrance exam.
I'll be stuck with whatever quirk I use then so I better make it good.
