Izuku slept for days on end before he awoke ready to face the world as a new and enlightened person, he'd opened his eyes to reality and saw something that nobody else had seen. He'd seen the truth given beautiful physical form, their twisted beauty simply called for him! He'd been entrusted with such beautiful knowledge what more could he ask for!

HE WAS UNDESERVING OF SUCH BEAUTY!

He sat there in the forest quietly shuddering as the whispers of those beautiful beings flowed through the air as a gentle breeze, he hadn't moved one inch since he took Inko and Mitsuki's life and devoured their eyes opening his even further. He would stare up at the night sky listening to the great calls of those beautiful creatures as the daily routine of the world played out around him. Calm. A dead calm washed over him when he laid there, the beautiful being of his stared down at him from the night sky. It's hollow ever staring skull looked down on him as gore and tendrils flowed through the night, his flesh was interwoven with sin, his nerves laced with ambition, his brain screamed with knowledge and understanding, the voices around him grew from whispers to mighty heavenly choirs.

He gazed down upon his body slowly admiring every symbol it had etched into his flesh, he knew that they were words but the beautiful being had refused to speak to him further or translate them. Since the night at the hospital the being had once again fallen into silence simply keeping a watchful gaze upon him. Did he anger it? Had he displeased them? No, no they weren't displease in fact quite the opposite. That silent gaze was one of approval, a look that made him feel accomplished and fulfilled.

He'd never felt such a thing had he? Before he was simply a weak insignificant speck among the powerful but now he was more than anyone else, someone with a glorious and beautiful purpose. He was the one who was chosen by those angels, he was chosen to be made something more than worthless dirt. He could be something great, something with a foot in this worlds history ready to leave his mark.

He'd felt little to no negative emotions since the being approached him that day, his worries would just slowly dissolve away as the euphoria of knowledge overwhelmed his senses. Every single struggle he once faced and felt was insignificant now, he was given a purpose that far exceeded the worries or needs of a normal person.

What did it mean to live? He once pondered on this heavily as he went about a meaningless and repeating cycle of hope for a power that never came, so good riddance. He'd look at the world and laugh in its face, they wanted to shun him? To hate him and make fun of him for something out of his control? No! He wouldn't accept that! He was free now! He was not some weakling that the world could laugh at and spit on any longer!

Then with that he took his first step in several days, he slowly walked forward from the deeper part of the forest towards the city but that's when he heard the sound of space warping and bending behind him. Before he could turn to investigate what it was he felt the grasp of his savior around him, it's firm grip squeezing his bones causing them to fracture and shatter impaling into his muscles. Then he was forcefully thrown backwards feeling himself crash against the ground and scrape along the dirt before coming to a forceful stop as he collided with a tree.

He looked up seeing his angel staring down at him just silently peering into his soul, he could sense it was displeased after he tried to leave. Okay then he'd stay but he could not bear standing still any longer, he felt his bones slowly repairing and fusing back together. That pain of the splintered bone retracting and slowly fusing together again stoking the flames of agony throughout him, it gave him the fuel to stand up and begin walking into the deep forest. He walked deep into the forest further an further away from human civilization, he just asked until there was absolutely no noise of the large city. He was just alone.
