Level Up (BNHA x OC) (Rewrite)

Chapter 1

The girl groaned as she heard the sounds of screaming and glass shattering above her, waking her from her slumber. She assumes her father returned home drunk again. She shakes her head slightly, not wanting to shift the metal biting into her cheeks.

'I should get ready. It's the entrance exam today.'

She gets up off of her makeshift bed and gets into her junior high school uniform. It's a white shirt with a navy blue pleated skirt, stockings, a blazer the same colour as her skirt, shiny black shoes and a thin necktie she ties into a bow. She brushes out her long white hair and ties it up into a ponytail, avoiding the leather straps around her head. She looks over herself in the broken mirror hung up on the wall of her 'room'.

'Well, Mizaki Hana, today's the day. Maybe you'll finally get out of this hellhole.'

She sits patiently on the pile of dirty blankets and pillows she's come to call her bed. She's become used to it, sleeping down there in the basement of her house amongst the chill of cold concrete. She checks her phone, luckily she's able to charge it with the one outlet in the wall where she set up her bed.

'6:03. Asano should come unlock the door soon. He's usually down here by now.'

Just as she thinks that, the 'click' of her father unlocking the door echoes against concrete walls. "You better be up bitch. You don't want what happened last time to happen again do you?" His deep, slurred voice says. Hana shudders at the memory, but stands all the same.

The older man walks down the steps towards her with an evil smirk hanging on his lips, "Oh good. You better do well on those exams you hear me? Once you're a hero you'll make a very good cash cow." The girl ignores his greed as the man removes a key from his pocket. "Although, with your weak quirk, it'd be a miracle if you pass," he spits.

He harshly grabs her hair, bringing her face closer to his. She can smell the alcohol on his breath as he inserts the key into the locking mechanism of the device. The muzzle slips off with a click. A small metallic thud is heard as it drops to the ground.

The girl knows not to speak, that it will only lead to pain. So she keeps quiet, dull purple eyes fixed to the floor. The man smiles, satisfied at her docile nature, like he wasn't the one who beat it into her long ago. He turns around and hobbles back up the stairs.

Hana waits a few minutes before she follows, wiping her cheeks covered in small bits of blood where the metal dug into them in her sleep. She knows that they're already healed, so she never bothers using the small medkit she has in her room anymore.

The scars from when she was too young to heal them are still there, though.

She covers her face with a black face mask, not bothering to eat breakfast before grabbing her bag and walking out the door. Once outside she mutters softly, "Open Inventory."

A small blue holoscreen appears before her, listing the things stored in her quirk. She finds a open spot and inserts her bag and phone. With a quick whisper of 'Close Inventory' she sets off towards the train station.

Mizaki Hana, quirk: Level Up. Her quirk makes her into a real life game character with the ability to enhance her physical and mental capabilities! She even has an inventory to store items!

After the 30 minute train ride, she walks to UA, the best hero school in Japan and her one and only chance to get away from her father. She looks up quietly at the tall H-shaped building.

'Here goes nothing I guess.'

She looks around silently at the other hero hopefuls, other teens like her hoping to get into the most prestigious hero course in Japan. She signs herself in, receiving the room number for where she'll be taking the written exam from the R-Rated Hero: Midnight.
