บท 2: Chapter - 1: Selecting Quirks…

"I agree!" the boy immediately nodded, the last thing he wanted was for his parents to find out his search history… That would feel too awkward to him even if he is dead already!

And as for the multiverse travel, it sounds pretty good as far as the boy is concerned…!

"Well then, now that you agree… let me give you the basic information of the mortal world you will be going in so that you can decide the superpowers you want. Make note that just about anything wouldn't work, the superpower you chose must match the concept of that world… Though, considering that you too were one of those infamous Otaku's you should recognize the setting of the world itself if I remember correctly." Samsara said so, then injected a light ball into the boy's chest…

As soon as the light ball entered inside him, a lot of information went into the boy's brain…

The boy didn't know about the other things, but the term 'Meta Ability' 'Quirk', 'Superhero' and 'Villains' instantly clicked, and immediately reminded him of the one and only, "Manga/Anime: Boku no Hero Academia / My Hero Academia!"

Samsara nodded, "Yes, exactly… Though we have another code for it, #$%*&^. If you are wondering why such a situation exists then I would say there are two reasons why the authors and manga artists of your world are able to conceptualize such works and one of them is anomalies in the system… But anyway, you don't have to worry about that right now as it is not important enough.

What's important right now is for you to select superpowers that would fit the domain of Quirks and the domain of the Mortal World: Boku no Hero Academia…"

The boy thought a little, then asked, "Um, I have no understanding of the power level or the type of the power of the 'Shard' of the fallen God, so how am I supposed to decide on what powers to choose from that would give me an advantage over it?"

Samsara thought a little, then said, "I can't give you a clear understanding of what type of powers the 'Shard' possesses because it does not possess a specific type of power… ever since it separated from the fallen god, the 'Shard' has become something sort of a parasitic creature that attaches itself to its target hosts and by doing so it is capable of using all the powers of the targets it parasites upon…

So the type of superpower the 'Shard' that you will have to eliminate can have will depend upon its parasitic host…"

The boy questioned with a frowned expression, "That makes the range too vague… it could be practically anything going by this pattern… so how am I going to search for it?"

"It is what it is… nothing I can do about it…" mumbled Samsara while shaking her head with a helpless sigh, then continued after a pause, "It parasites upon the aboriginals of a mortal world for a while, recks chaos during that time, after a while, it discards them then moves on to the next mortal world to repeat the same cycle…"

The boy nodded, then asked another question, "So, you mentioned that the 'Shard' parasites upon the aboriginals of a mortal world and then move on to the next mortal world… Additionally, while parasitic upon an aboriginal of a mortal world it can use the powers of that particular mortal, right?"

"Yes." – Samsara nodded.

"In that case tell me something, think about it carefully and then answer because it is very important… When the 'Shard' discards its previous parasitic host and chooses a new host, does the new parasitic host or the 'Shard' after discarding the previous host still retain the specific powers of the previous parasitic host?" the boy asked with a very serious expression.

Samsara pondered over the boy's question for a while, then shook her head, "I can not say for certain, but I feel that it does… but not in the way you are imagining."

"Mind explaining a bit?" the boy questioned.

Samsara nodded, and explained, "As long as its hosts are from the same mortal world, then it can replicate their superpower…"

"So, what you are saying is that if the 'Shard' parasites over more than one individual from the Boku no Hero Academia World before it is eliminated or finds a way to bypass the barriers to enter another mortal world, it will be capable of replicating the quirks of all its previous hosts from the Boku no Hero Academia World, did I get it right?"

"Basically, yes." Samsara nodded, then added, "Which is exactly why we are allowing you to have more than one Quirk…"

The boy nodded with a thoughtful expression, "Exactly how many quirks can I have?"

"Since the protagonist of the Boku no Hero Academia Manga has 7 Quirks, so we are going to let you have 7 Quirks as well… but, these 7 Quirks will be the only Quirks you will ever have while you are in the Boku no Hero Academia World… not a single more by any means… Therefore, you must choose wisely…" Samsara explained, then immediately added, "Oh and one more thing that's very important, of the 7 slots, one quirk will be your natural Quirk that you will genetically inherit from your birth parents, so you can not select that one, which means you have only 6 options…"

The boy nodded, "I understand." then questioned, "But what do you mean when you are saying that I can 'only have 7 quirks in total, and not a single more by any means?"

Samsara said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Exactly as I said… you cannot have more than 7 Quirks by any means… even if you were to choose a Quirk that can give you the ability to have more than 7 Quirks, for instance, 'All For One' a quirk that makes its user capable of stealing other's Quirk. I do agree that All For One is a one-of-a-kind quirk, but it won't be of much use to you as you won't be able to use it to its full advantage because your physical constitution will only be able to withstand 7 Quirks… Any more than that, and you will die…"

The boy frowned, "That's totally unreasonable! Why can All For One and Shigaraki Tomura have more than 7 Quirks, but not me?"

Samsara shook her head, and explained "It's not completely unreasonable… If you don't know already, in the Boku no Hero Academia World, possessing more than one Quirk puts immense strain on a human's body rendering them as mindless living dolls incapable of speaking which they call 'Nomu'…

In that world it is believed that a person can only tolerate two quirks at most, should they be physically fit, as has been the case with the One For All users in that world, but the truth is that possessing only two quirks also causes severe backlashes and decreases the life span, this is a rule in that world…

So according to the rules, an individual shouldn't have more than one Quirk, but at the same time, the rules have been bent for the sake of the so-called protagonist who is capable of using up to 7 Quirks without any of these disadvantages… and we are just using these loopholes in the bending of rules and making it possible for you to have as many Quirks as possible without becoming an anomaly. And 7 is that number because Midoriya Izuku is capable of using 7 quirks without any restriction…!"

The boy looked skeptically at Samsara, then sighed and agreed… "Alright fine… Having 7 Quirks is also more than enough… but give me some time to think it through…"

The boy knew that if he were to choose wisely, he can choose some specific quirks that can actually amount to multiple quirks just by their vast range of activities… so he didn't argue with Samsara on this topic when she had already stated that the Gods won't be giving him more than 7 Quirks.

Samsara nodded, "Alright take your time… I will be doing the paperwork I need to do, when you are ready just call me…"

"Got it."

…

A few hours later.

"Alright, Goddess Samsara… I have decided…" The boy informed Samsara.

Samsara put down her paperwork, then asked the boy, "In that case… tell us…"

The Boy nodded, "The Quirks I want are:

1. Light: Allows the user to control Light.

2. Trick Star: Trick Star allows the user to instantly switch things with each other, things can be, people, objects, and even Quirks.

3. Venom Mix: Venom Mix allows the user to ingest any kind of poison, and teach its composition to their body, allowing them to create their own mix.

4. Combo Star: As long as the user continues to physically attack his opponent without interruption, each consecutive attack will have double the force compared to the previous one.

5. Byaku-Sharingan: The Sharingan Dojutsu and its successive evolution from the Narutoverse along with the added abilities of the Byakugan.

6. Empty Slot: Basically, an empty quirk slot.

In the Empty Slot, I want a vacant quirk slot that I can switch with someone else's Quirk if I find them useful enough.

In the Byaku-Sharingan, I want its appearance to follow the trend of Sharingan, that is one tomoe, two tomoe, three tomoe, and further ahead… but I want to add Penetrative Vision and 360-degree field of vision of the Byakugan into the mix along with the Eye of Insight and Eye of Hypnosis that the Sharingan already has… Of course, I also want the permanent Mangekyou Sharingan that won't go blind. For Mangekyou Sharingan, I want Uchiha Obito's Dojutsu, which is with Long Range and Short Range Kamui of both Obito and Kakashi.

And the Seventh Slot I have left it empty as you have asked of me because it will occupy the Quirk, I will genetically inherit from my birth parents."

"Hmm… let me see…

Light, Trick Star, Venom Mix, Combo Star, Byaku-Sharingan(?) & Empty Slot…?

Well, not too bad if I must say… All the other Quirks are alright and acceptable… but the Byaku-Sharingan(?)… This is a bit tricky… The reason is that I can't give you Chakra as Chakra is a completely different concept from Quirks, and having Chakra in the Boku no Hero Academia World will make you an anomaly…"

"Can't you make an exception, or find a way for me to have the Byaku-Sharingan… Every Otaku dreams of having Sharingan… and its abilities are incredibly useful. Byaku-Sharingan will also allow me to have more than one ability in just one Quirk… I really don't want to give up on this!"

"Umm… then how about you give up Susano'o of the Mangekyou Sharingan? The other abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan can be adjusted in the manner that they don't rely on Chakra but something else, but Susano'o… it can't be adjusted as that would be very inefficient… Moreover, using Susano'o would be incredibly burdensome for you and Susano'o wouldn't even be very useful in the Boku no Hero Academia World, right? So, if you can give up on Susano'o, I think I can make some adjustments… How about it?"

The boy thought for a while, then agreed, "Alright…" and questioned after a short pause, "But if you are removing Susano'o, can I exchange it with another Mangekyou Sharingan Dojutsu?"

Samsara questioned, "Which one do you want?"

The boy answered, "Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi… I want Tsukuyomi to be incorporated into both of my Mangekyou Sharingan."

Samsara nodded, "Alright, acceptable… these will be granted…"

The boy nodded, "In that case let's roll with these Quirks… And now that I have chosen my Quirks, what comes next?"

Samsara said, "Now I will be sending your soul to be reborn as an infant into the Boku no Hero Academia World. The timeline will be the same, that is, you will be born in the same year as the main cast…"

The boy nodded, then added, "Can you make it so that I have a prominent family background in terms of social, political, economic, and military power?

I believe that a prominent family background will be quite helpful in providing a suitable growth environment, and I wouldn't have to struggle alone in figuring out everything.

These small things will obviously be very helpful if I want to find and defeat the Shard of the fallen God…

Moreover, I really don't want to go through those pointless troubles that would make my childhood shitty…"

Samsara nodded, "I will see what I can do to the best of my abilities."

The boy nodded and was ready to be sent, but then he suddenly remembered something very important, and quickly asked, "Wait… I forgot to ask something… how will I find the so-called 'Shard' of the Fallen God? The Boku no Hero Academia World consists of several billion individuals… how will I identify one particular parasite among billions of individuals?"

"You will have the Quirk Byaku-Sharingan, which will have the abilities of both, Byakugan and the Sharingan. Using this Quirk of yours you should be able to tell if there is something off about a person… Of course, the strangeness can be of many types, and just because a person is strange wouldn't imply that they are hosts of the Shard… But, the host of the Shard will definitely have something strange about him.

And one more thing, anyone who is a host of the Shard wouldn't stay silent for very long, being possessed by Shard is synonymous with spreading Chaos in the world…

Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes…" the boy nodded.

Samsara smiled, "Now that everything is clear, I will be reincarnating your soul into a newborn infant…

Good luck…

You will be going in 10…

And of you GO!"

With that, the soul of the boy disappeared from the room.

…

Yabami Hospital, Mustufa City

At the same time, the cry of a newborn resounded in the maternity ward, "Uwaaaaaa"

The Doctor responsible for the delivery instructed the nurses to do the follow-up procedure, meanwhile, she walked towards the woman who had just given birth to the child, "Yumeko-sama, congratulations, you have given birth to a healthy boy… And although I know it's pointless to ask, but, just in case, how are you feeling physically?"

Yumeko, the mother of the newly born child, replied, "If I must say, I am not feeling any different from my usual self."

The doctor nodded, and said, "Well, I will still conduct a few physical tests to make sure that everything is okay…"

Yumeko smiled, and said, "Oh Shiroko-chan, you worry too much… but anyway, feel free to do so, if that makes you feel relieved."

The doctor, named Shiroko shook her head with a bitter smile, then changed the topic, "By the way, Yumeko-sama, have you decided on a name for the child?"

Yumeko nodded with a slight smile, "Yes, Kurui… Jabami Kurui."

Dr. Shiroko was taken aback, "You can't be serious Yumeko-sama!"

"Of course, I am just messing with you Shiroko-chan…" Yumeko replied with a giggle, then continued, "Although I love the name Kurui which translates to 'Madness'.

The name of my second child will be Kouki which translates for 'Rare Light' or 'Sacred'.

Jabami Kouki, which translates to 'Rare Serpent' or 'Sacred Serpent'."
