Enjoy.

Izuku Midoriya was sitting in his classroom, he was staring at the clock waiting for class to end. He just wanted to go home as fast as possible and hoped that he wouldn't meet Bakugou on the way. Ever since he was diagnosed as quirkless, Izuku had been doing two things. He either ran away from Bakugou or sat  in his room while the only lightsource was the display of his computer. He had found his only escape when he was five, he was watching the All Might video as usual and hoped that it would make him feel better. But then a ad appeared on the screen, this ad changed his life forever, it was about a popular rpg game that Izuku quickly learned to love. He quickly started to do nothing else than playing video games, he played a lot of different genres but fantasy rpgs were always his favourite. Nobody cared about quirks online, they just cared about having fun and good players, wich Izuku was. But his love for video games went as far, that he didn't even think about eating, if his mother wouldn't remind him, he would just starve without even realising it.

But then, Izuku was finally freed from his prison called "middle school". The bell rang and before anybody could blink, Izuku had grabbed his bag and ran out of the door. He got home as fast as possible, greeted his mother, ate a bit and started his computer. He quickly checked his messages, nobody had time, so he had to play alone. He decided for a game that he had beat multiple times already, it was a singleplayer fantasy rpg. It was all about Dragons returning after being gone for hundreds of years.

Izuku rubbed his eyes three hours later, he had decided to take things slow and started slowly leveling his skills before ending the main quest and beating the end boss. He played a mage but used a dagger from time to time for close combat. He looked out of the window, it was getting late and he had school the next day. "Just this quest and then I'll go to bed" he told himself but ended up doing four and fell asleep on his desk. What nobody saw was that, as he slept thin green lines formed under his eyes, they started glowing brightly before Izuku disappeared with a loud plop. 

The next time Izuku woke up, he wasn't in his room, or even in his world. He slowly stood up from the bed and walked against a wall. He looked around confused, the door to the bathroom should have been there but it wasn't. Infact nothing was like it should have been. He was standing inside a small wooden house, he recognized it but that only confused him more. The house was his house, but in the game, he had bought it after arriving at the first larger city. The next thing he noticed was that he had a health bar together with a stamina and mana bar. "Mana?" he mumbled before realising something, he quickly tried if he can open his inventory, and it actually worked. His face lit up as he looked at the display infront of him, it showed that he had not only all his items but also all his magic spells. He quickly equipped a weak fire spell and watched as a fire ball formed in his right hand. A smirk formed on his lips, he quickly equipped his dagger and out of nowhere it appeared on his belt. He remembered that the game's spells had some.. limits so he decided to test that out.

What always bothered him the most was that the telekinesis spell was far too weak. The only thing it could do was, lifting items from far away and make it come to him. But as he used it, his mana bar went down quickly but to his liking, the spell was a lot stronger. He was able to control thing freely even from far away. He quickly started to feel lonely, his mum was gone and he didn't really know what happened. His only chance was to beat the game and hoping to get back after that. He left his house and noticed that the world around him felt so much more alive than it was when he played the game before. The npc weren't doing the same thing everyday, for example a wood cutter sometimes tripped and let wood fall onto his foot after that he would start to cuss and even take a break and go to the tavern instead of working again.

He ended up collecting every spell in the game and leveling his skills to be prepared for the end boss. Izuku still didn't know what would happen when he would die. But it was hard to kill him, he had a strong armor and his health was almost maxed out after some weeks. Izuku was currently standing infront of a large black dragon with three people next to him. The dragon slowly fell apart and started to burn, Izuku had seen it so often that, a death of a dragon but this time it was different, Izuku didn't absorb it's soul instead the sould flew towards the sky as the skeleton of the dragon disappeared. Dispair slowly started to form inside of Izuku, this was the end of the game but nothing happened. But then suddenly everything around him turned white.

The young midoriya woke up in his room, he looked around confused. It all felt like a extremly long dream but the three bars told him something else. He quickly stood up and walked out of his room, he heard somebody crying and sobbing from, it was coming from the living room.

Inko Midoriya was lying on the couch as she buried her face in her hands. Her son just disappeard one day, nobody had seen him, nothing looked like he ran away or anything like that. "Mum?" the younger greenette asked, her head quickly shot up and stared at him in disbelieve. "My baby!" she sobbed as she tackled him, he was more than confused. "What's wrong?" he simply asked. "W-Where have you been? I looked everywhere for you" she asked as she wiped away her tears. Only then Inko noticed the thing green lines on his face, "What is that?" she asked as she stared at them. Then Izuku noticed the three bars in his view, a smile formed on his face. "I think my quirk manifested, mum"
