MHA: A World of Monsters and Hunters

Where it begins and ends

Castle Schrade... The boy thought this place was a myth but here he is. History was written here as this once amazing kingdom was gone in one night. He now knows what happened here. This was where it all started. Midoriya Izuku wasn't fighting a black dragon but history itself. The looming threat filled the air of dread as this place was cursed. He doesn't know what is real or fake for his reality, but he felt his heart sink. A massive head starts to rise behind the keep. A dragon with a long neck and twin horns appear. It's tongue starts to lick its lips with the beast bowing its head.

Midoriya looked down and saw a man with long bluish gray hair. A cape made up All Might's torn golden age suit wraps around his neck flaps in the wind. He wore nothing but black pants and the torn cape. His bare feet start to decay the ground slowly as it grows closer to Midoriya.

"Do you think you can be a hero? Bah, what a wasted dream. True power is being the alpha of a monster pact. I am the alpha of destruction itself!" He said in a raspy voice and gave the boy a toothy grin. The black dragon moves it's neck back before the man points at Midoriya. The beast lunges it's head towards the boy with the maw of the monster being the last thing he saw.

Midoriya wakes up screaming to himself as the class starts to laugh at him. The teacher wasn't pleased to see Midoriya sleeping in class. Lately, he has been sleeping in class more often in the past couple of months. Asking him to pay attention in his class. Midoriya nods and looks down at his textbook. The green-haired boy was embarrassed and looked to his right. Seeing an empty seat with the student who occupied the seat was "sick" for the day.

The teacher explains the history of the world once more. He didn't like to repeat himself but used this lesson to "punish" the class for Midoriya sleeping. He clears his throat and repeats himself from the very beginning. The class groaned as they wanted to use the final fifteen minutes to themselves. They have heard of this story so many times. It's just mundane at this point.

200+ years ago, quirks started to emerge from newborn babies. Around 80% of the people born after the first baby had a quirk. One boy was an advert gamer and loved Capcom's Monster Hunter series. He grew up and had a son who had a powerful quirk. His son grew up with Monster Hunter around him. He loved it as much as his father. The boy lost his father one day and felt a strong wave of sadness overtake him. Wishing for the world to bring back his father but the dead couldn't come back.

In the end, his quirk activated and changed reality, so he could live in a world that embodies his love for his father. The young boy used this opportunity to establish the world today. Quirks are used to save people and fight off monsters. People hunting and befriending monsters. The man died as a leader for the people, so his children and their children could continue the legacy of the Hunter's Guild.

Society did not devolve far back as some might think. People use cities as hubs and secure defenses around the cities. Villages form outside city limits as well to expand their resources. The bell rang before the teacher explained more about their society. He dismissed his class and went back to his papers. Izuku heard a ring from his phone before he could move from his seat. A text from his friend, saying to meet him in his part of Tokyo, Shinjuku city.

Izuku smiles and tries to get up but is pushed back down by Bakugo.

"Kacchan! What are you doing?" Izuku exclaimed and wanted to take the next underground train before it left. He was planning to train with a certain hero tonight.

"Zip it Deku. What the hell do you think you are doing?! There is nothing important to make you tired. Just because you want to go to UA doesn't mean you will even pass. You are a Deku, remember." The atomic blonde says and grabs a hold of Izuku by the collar but soon let's go. Sneering at Midoriya as killing him over midoriya sleeping wasn't worth his time. "Go on and meet your damn boyfriend. As if a yakuza brat and a quirkless loser know anything about being a hero or even a damn hunter. All you are is fresh meat for what's beyond the city walls."

Izuku tried to get his notebook but saw Bakugo snag it away first. Destroying it in front of him with his explosive quirk. The pages fell out as it had notes about monsters all over Japan. Detailed descriptions of weak points, behavior, and what elements are best to use against it.

"Don't get in my way for the UA exams. Especially that annoying friend of yours." Bakugo walked off with his friends as they tried to calm him down. Midoriya sighs as he doesn't know what to do or say besides collecting the pages and heading off to the train station.

Over in Shinjuku city, a young boy with short black hair and red eyes awaits at a cafe. Wearing a black two-piece suit and black gloves over his hands. He sighs to himself and leans back on his chair waiting for his friend.

"I should get going now. Don't want to be late." He said with a soft and polite tone. Drinking the rest of his coffee before leaving a tip for the cup of coffee. Leaving a stack of 10,000 yen for the server and walking through the front door. Ryuji Kurosaki, Heir, and Alpha of his clan. A childhood friend of Izuku Midoriya.
