Solo Hero: Shadow Monarch || A Solo Levelling and My Hero Academia Crossover

CHAPTER 2: System

"I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR THREE WHOLE DAYS? What happened to Yaoyurozu-San and Heatwave-Sensei? Are they safe?" Midoriya asks, rapid-fire.
"They're both safe, but . . . " The official starts, and Midoriya knows something is going to be said that he may not like. "The Inferno Hero: Heatwave lost an arm, so he'll have a lot of difficulty fighting as both a Hero and a Hunter. He might choose to retire. As for miss Momo Yaoyurozu, she seems to have been heavily traumatized, so she is currently receiving therapy. We're not sure if they will continue to work as Hunters. Also, Native and the other Hunters are-" Midoriya cuts him off.
"No . . . It's okay. I've heard enough." He lowers his head, memories flashing through his mind. Native running from the room, Manual being sliced in half, the doors closing as one by one his Party left him.

"Only six people survived the Double Dungeon. Hunters are aware that their job entails danger, but disasters such as this rarely happen. After receiving a report from the survivors, we sent the 'White Tiger' Guild and our Surveillance Agents. But by the time they got there . . . Everyone was already gone. You were the only one we found lying in the Dungeon, and the Statue of God, as well as the other stone statues, were nowhere to be found."
"That's impossible!" Midoriya exclaims, shocked.
"We're in disbelief as well. We would've considered other possibilities if we'd found even the slightest discrepancy in the survivors' accounts . . . or if we hadn't discovered body parts of the deceased Hunters at the scene. This is just a guess, but . . . We think you may have undergone a second Awakening." 'A second Awakening?!'

The capabilities of a Hunter's powers are determined when they first Awaken. However, in rare cases, some Hunters Reawaken. There have also been instances of Hunters surpassing their limits. Some C-Rank Hunters have advanced to A-Rank, and some B-Rank Hunters have advanced to S-Rank.

"This is a Mana meter." The Association Representative says, putting a strange device on the bed. It looked like a seismometer with a large purple crystal embedded in the middle. "All you have to do is place your hand on top of this Essence Stone here." 'If what the survivors said is true, and there were Magic Beasts High-Level enough to instakill, that means they can't be taken down by an average Hunter. We may have to recruit not just A-Rank Hunters, but S-Rank Hunters to take care of them. It's hard to believe that such deadly Magic Beasts disappeared without a trace . . . ' The machine's meter beeps as the numbers spin; Midoriya had placed his hand on the crystal. 'Izuku Midoriya was the last survivor in that Dungeon, so it's only natural that we suspect him of Reawakening. However . . . ' He looks down at the meter.

10

'I suppose Trash will always be Trash. . . . Even the weakest E-Rank Hunters score at least 70 . . . '
"How are the results?" Midoriya asks, curiosity piqued.
"I think we have taken up too much of your time." He says, walking from the room.
'What the . . . I got all excited for nothing. But did this thing not bother those guys?' He glances up at the display before him, hovering in mid-air.

MESSAGE

- You have unread messages.

'Could it be that they can't see this thing?' He wiggles the toes on his right leg. 'My leg was cut off, but it's back to normal now . . . ' He touches his chest again, confused. 'And I got stabbed in the chest right before I died, but there's no wound. Was I dreaming . . . ? How much of it was real . . . ?'
"Maybe I should have told them . . . that I can see this stuff . . . " He stands on the bed and pokes at the display, his finger falling right through. Nothing changes. 'Is this not a touch screen?'
"Izuku, you just woke up. What are you doing?" A tall girl with black hair dyed neon blue at the tips and bright green eyes walks in, a school bag slung over one shoulder. "Don't tell me you hurt your head, too. I told you to be careful!" The girl screams, getting as close as she can. "I was worried sick!"
