The Legion: King of the Monsters (Patreon)

Hi! This here is a new fic that I have been working on which combines the worlds and certain elements of a few different worlds including MHA, Pokemon, One Punch Man, Solo Levelling and the Godzilla/Kaiju Franchise.

Disclaimer: I do not have any rights of ownership for the characters used except the OC's. All the credit goes to the authors of the original series.

Prologue – Who summoned a Goddess?

The world governments were stupid. Their leaders even worse. No one knew what the fuck it took to become that dumb. The leaders of this world surely must be a new generation of idiots to lead a prospering society, one that was close to achieving space travel on a large scale, and plunge it into a nuclear war.

Various countries of the world had been locked in a silent war for years, with countries and their leaders engaged in a struggle for power that seemed never-ending. The tensions between nations had grown too great, and eventually, a spark ignited the powder keg. The result was a catastrophic nuclear war that transformed the earth into a barren wasteland.

Ravaged and war-torn landscapes were a common site across the 7 continents as not one nation survived staying neutral. Bombs were dropped like rain drops on a petal.

If people thought the pandemics that had caused extreme loss of life throughout history were brutal, the sheer bloodshed that occurred in the months where each nation traded explosives with each other looked like the aftermath of an assault by Jack the Ripper.

The cities that had once been bustling metropolises were now nothing but rubble and ash. The air was thick with the stench of death, and the only sound was the desolate howling of the wind. It was a world devoid of life, with every living creature having been claimed by the radiation. Years passed, and hope seemed lost forever. But in the midst of this desolation, a group of explorers returned from a mission in space. They had been gone for years, and upon their return, they found a world that was unrecognizable.

Amidst the devastation, they found a man who had somehow managed to survive the nuclear fallout. He led the explorers to a place in Croatia, at least where Croatia could previously be found, where the damage was considerably lesser. They were amazed to find that a civilization had formed there, more reminiscent of the modern world.

The people of this new civilization had somehow managed to maintain a semblance of normalcy, despite the chaos that surrounded them. They had established a system of governance and had even managed to rebuild some of the infrastructure that had been destroyed. The explorers were impressed by the resilience of the human spirit in the face of such overwhelming destruction.

The man who had led them to this place was named Ivan. He was a survivor, but he had lost everything in the nuclear war. His family, his home, his life as he knew it, had all been taken from him. He had wandered for years, searching for a place where he could rebuild his life, and he had finally found it in this small corner of Croatia. Ivan welcomed the explorers with open arms and shared his story with them. He showed them the ruins of the nearby city, a stark reminder of the devastation that had befallen the world. But he also showed them the progress that had been made in rebuilding. There were homes made from scraps of metal and wood, but they were sturdy and functional. There were gardens and fields where crops were grown, and animals roamed freely. There were schools where children were taught, and hospitals where the sick and injured were cared for. The explorers were impressed by the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of this new civilization. They had taken what little they had and turned it into something that was sustainable and viable. It was a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and it gave the explorers hope for the future. Over the next few weeks, the explorers stayed in the small village, learning from the people who lived there. They shared stories of their travels through space and the wonders they had seen. They also learned about the hardships that the people of this village had faced and the struggles they had overcome. As they spent more time in the village, the explorers began to realize that there was something special about this place. It was a community that was built on trust, cooperation, and mutual respect. There was no hierarchy or inequality, and everyone had a role to play.

And soon, they became an integral part of this new civilization that was sure to be recorded in the history books centuries later. Every last one of them pursued a career, whether it was as simple as a chef, or as monumental as a teacher of architect.

Every one, except one.

Anderson Storm realized that he couldn’t continue living here. He knew that he could stay here and assimilate in the only community in this world that hadn’t been reduced to ash and rubble. But that had never been him. He was man driven by purpose and ambition. Something which he knew he wouldn’t be able to find here.

With his mind made up, he approached Ivan one day, who simply gave him his blessings and a handmade trinket that had belonged to his young son who unfortunately did not survive the fallout of the war. A keychain with a cat on it.

The cat keychain was small, no more than a few inches in length, but it was intricately detailed and clearly well-loved. Its shape was that of the beloved Pokémon, Mew, with its characteristic rounded ears and long, flowing tail. The body was a soft, pale pink, while the tail and ears were a bright, bubblegum pink, and the wide eyes were a vibrant blue. The keychain had clearly not been in mint condition. The pink fur was matted and frayed in places, and the plastic coating on the eyes had worn away, leaving them looking slightly cloudy. The metal ring that connected the keychain to a set of keys was rusted, and the paint had chipped away in some spots, revealing the dull metal beneath. Despite its wear and tear, the keychain held a special place in the owner's heart. And the fact he was willing to part with such a precious artifact, just so he could send him off with a gift, made Anderson realize just how great a human could be.

Growing up in the rough neighborhoods of New York, as a person of color, he had met a lot of people who made him realize that humans were one of the, if not the most, cruel creatures on the plant. but now? He could proudly say that he had seen the worst that humanity was capable of, but he had also seen the best.

And for that alone, he vowed to repay the old man in some way.

Bidding his group farewell, the man decided to depart before he would finally give in to the pleas of his colleagues and their requests for him to stay. He would be back, eventually. However, he needed to do this. For himself.

So, with a newfound sense of purpose, Anderson Storm left for his voyage.

For months, Anderson trudged through the apocalyptic wasteland of Europe, his steps slow and heavy, his heart heavy with the weight of the devastation that surrounded him. The once-beautiful cities and towns were now nothing but rubble and ash, and the air was thick with the stench of death and decay.

For months, he had traveled alone, his only companion the haunting memories of the world before the disaster. He had seen things that he could never unsee and done things that he could never undo to survive.

Fleeting thoughts telling him to return to Ivan and the rest of the community had been making frequent cameos in his mind, but the only reason he continued onwards was because of the promise he had made to himself. To only return when he finds something worth getting back to Ivan as a thanks for the kindness, he had shown not only to him, but all the others as well.

As he walked, he longed for something, anything, to give him hope, to remind him that there was still beauty and goodness in the world. And then, one day, he came across a beautiful river somewhere in Spain.

The river was like a balm to his soul. Its crystal-clear waters sparkled in the sunlight, and the air was sweet with the scent of wildflowers and fresh grass. A clear contrast to the wasteland that had greeted his sight for the past few months. For a moment, Anderson forgot about the devastation around him and simply stood there, staring at the water.

And then, he felt a presence behind him. He turned around to see a beautiful woman standing before him. She was tall and lithe, with long, golden flowing hair the color as bright as the sun and blue eyes that shined like sapphires. She was dressed in a lovely white dress which her ample curves poured into. A slit cut down each side of the dress and showed her gorgeous legs off. The word ‘Goddess’ would be the only one to justify her beauty.

The goddess spoke in a voice that was both soothing and commanding. "Tell me, Anderson Storm, would you like another chance at life?" she asked.

Anderson was simply taken aback. How did she know his name? Another chance at life? What the hell was this absolutely gorgeous woman on about?

Using his intelligence, he replied with, “Huh?”

Sighing, the woman crossed her arms under her chest, unknowingly pushing her momentous breasts up that made Anderson feel a tightness in his trousers that he hadn’t felt in a while. But he soon forgot about that with her next gesture.

Waving her hand around, an intricately carved chair made out of solid gold, materialized beside her, and the next moment, she was resting on it, taking great amusement in watching his reaction. His face closely resembled a fish out of water, his mind stopping for a second to understand what the fuck had just happened.

But before he could freak out, he felt a strange calming sensation wash over him. He felt relaxed than he had in months and the fatigue that had set in his bones, seemingly evaporated in an instant.

“You’re welcome,” the lady spoke up in a bored voice, as his eyes once again focused on her. “Now do not freak out and allow me to explain what I mean by this.

First off, let me introduce myself. I am one of the few beings that look over this vast expanse called Universe 3758. You may call me Lady Emilia. Recently my colleagues and I have started a new project, for our entertainment of course.

One of us chooses a random soul from our Universe at a time, and they are transported in a new reality where they live a new life filled with adventures. The soul gets a chance at a much more fulfilling life, while we enjoy the show. This new program is called ‘The Legion of Entertainers.’ Now…”

“Wait,” he interrupted her, a sentence she spoke finally registering in his mind, making his rage surface as he looked at her with an apoplectic expression on his face, surprising the goddess. “You said you are responsible for this Universe? Then why is it you did not intervene when billions perished in this stupid war! New born babies, pregnant mothers, men who had done nothing wrong in life and only wanted to live a long, happy life; all of them lost their lives over a petty squabble between stupid leaders of their countries!”

The goddess was momentarily shocked. No one, and I mean no one had ever spoken to Emilia this way. Not her boss, not her mother, and certainly none of her friends or lovers. Yet this… weak human, who knew that she could incinerate him on a whim, dared to raise his voice against her. She had even used her magic to suppress his emotions, yet his agitated state was visible to anyone with eyes.

She knew she should do exactly that, blow him up and make sure he is tortured for eternity. But strangely, another feeling arose in her mind.

Intrigue.

This one interested her. She wanted to know why. He had become a mystery she could not wait to unravel. And for that, she needed him alive and satisfied.

Waving her hand once more, she forced him to calm down and she looked at him with interest and surprisingly, arousal, clear in her eyes.

“To answer your questions Anderson Storm, even a being as powerful as I, needs to adhere to rules. We cannot interfere with the fate of a world. Do you think it was easy for me to see such bloodshed and needless killing? Children dying every second, while their mothers were raped and killed. No, Anderson Storm. If it were in my hands, I would’ve made sure such an event never came to pass,” she explained, her eyes closed in defeat. Every word she had spoken had been true after all. She might be a goddess, but even divine beings had a moral conscious.

Anderson did not know what to make of this. On one hand, he wanted to call bullshit. But his mind told him to trust the words of the omnipotent being in front of him. And he would do exactly that… for now at least.

“Now, let me continue before I am rudely interrupted again,” Emilia began speaking, her tone haughty while she gazed at him with eyes filled with curiosity. “The new reality we send the soul to, is usually of their choosing. However, I have already selected a world in your case, which is why you shall be granted two powers instead of one. Do you understand me?”

This was certainly unexpected. He knew that any other person would have already leapt at the chance given to him, but he had a few questions before he could make up his mind.

"Why me?" he questioned. After all, if she truly was an overseer of this universe, she could choose plenty of strong beings instead of someone like him.

With a sigh, Emilia began explaining, “To be honest, you were not my first choice. I had approached an old guy before this, and he recommended you to me. I trust that you know him? Ivan, I believe is his name.”

At that Anderson’s eyes widened once again. Ivan had declined her offer and recommended him instead? Why? Why do so much for someone like him, a complete stranger?

Before he could question her again, she waved her hand, a hologram projected in front of him, resembling the old man he was extremely grateful to.

“Hello, Anderson. I trust that your journey would be going well. Son, I understand you may have questions about why I have done this. Why give you this chance, and not take it myself? Remember son, I am old and tired now. I wish to one day see my family again. My wife, my lovely children and the friends I have lost over the years. I wish to rest. But you? You would have an entire new world to explore. A new purpose in life. I cannot rob you of that opportunity. But I must request this of you.

Live a happy and fulfilling life, kid! And remember to have lots of wives and kids in your new world. After all, family is the only thing that makes a life worth living. Goodbye son, it was great knowing you.”

And with those parting words, the video faded, but the tears streaming down Alexander’s face did not stop. Weeping his heart out, his mind flooded with gratitude for the man who sacrificed this chance for him, only a single question remained in his mind.

He had seen so much death and destruction, so much pain and suffering. Could he really start over again? But as he looked into the goddess's eyes, he felt a glimmer of hope stir within him. Maybe, just maybe, there was a way to make things right again, to find a new path forward in a world that had been destroyed. "Yes," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Yes, I will, Ivan."

Turning towards the goddess, he gave her a firm nod, his face rigid with determination, and a small smirk on his face, in anticipation of what was about to come.

“Looks like you have made up your mind?” she questioned, knowing damn well what the answer was going to be. “Very well let us continue.”

Emilia once again waved her hand and conjured an object. But this time it was something odd. It was a wheel, like the one in those shows where you had to spin it and whatever it landed on would be your prize. It had too many sections, invisible to the naked eye to see what was written on them. Anderson was visibly confused by this but he did not have to wait long for an explanation.

“What you see before you is known as the Wheel of Fortune. The world I am sending you to, has powerful individuals, not unlike the ones in comics like Marvel. This wheel shall aid us to pick out a power for you, that will help you in your crusade in that world. Beware though. While it does have a few extremely powerful abilities, it also has completely useless abilities like the ability to turn into a rabbit, and a rabbit alone,” she explained before gesturing me to spin it.

And so, he did. Hoping that Lady Luck would aid him here.

After what felt like an eternity, the wheel finally began to come to a halt. With complete concentration, Anderson watched as it finally came to a stop. The needle at the centre of the wheel, pointing towards a minute red section of the wheel.

It suddenly magnified and the wheel disappeared, leaving only floating letters in front of him that described his power.

PACK LEADER SYSTEM + SIGNING BONUS

Anderson was somewhat satisfied by what he had obtained. If the words describing his power were to believe, he had a pretty powerful ability. But what the hell was signing bonus?

To voice out his question, he turned towards the Goddess, only to find her frowning at the result, causing him to feel nervous all of a sudden. Was something wrong?

As if she had read his thoughts, the gorgeous woman turned towards him with a sigh and explained, “Do not worry, nothing is wrong with your prize. It’s just that the world I had picked out for you isn’t suitable for this kind of power. It seems like I would have to modify it to suit your situation. And that means I will have to go through a lot of paperwork!” The goddess ended her rant as she pouted and whined like a child, making Anderson feel sorry for her as he sweatdropped at her antics.

It seems like even omnipotent beings had eccentric personalities.

“Anyway, this wouldn’t be much of a problem. But the signing bonus, that could be. The signing bonus means that the soul gets the right to choose the world they shall be reborn or transmigrate into, however, in your case it isn’t an option. Hmm, very well.”

She then turned towards him and continued with a serious expression on her face, “It seems like you shall be lucky enough to actually spin it once more and get another power along with this one.”

“Hold on, actually I have a request. Instead of granting me another power, could you use this… wish of mine and grant the people living here some much needed aid,” Anderson said, as he looked at her with a slight pleading expression. He knew it was a long shot but he had to try.

Emilia looked at him for a few moments, but then smiled and spoke up, “I knew there was something about you, Anderson Storm. Maybe it is simply your chivalrous mindset, or something else. This has made you even more interesting in my mind. I shall grant your wish.”

Anderson simply smiled in elation. He would actually be able to repay Ivan and the others back with something.

“Now, a few more things. First have a look at your attributes.”

Anderson Storm

Race - Human

Strength: C

Dexterity: B

Constitution: B

Intelligence: C

Wisdom: C

Charisma: D

Luck: B

A screen materialized in front of Anderson, relaying the information regarding his attributes in his current state. Needless to say, he was disappointed. He did not have a single high-ranking attribute.

Ignoring his downcast look, Emilia continued, “Pick one of these which will be maxed out forever. Nothing could bring it down, nor would it increase any further.”

In an instant he replied, “Charisma. I choose Charisma.” It was his most abysmal stat after all.

Raising an eyebrow, Emilia simply said, “If you wish to do so, I am no one to stop you. Just remember that you chose this all by yourself when women start throwing themselves at you in your other world.”

Huh? What did she mean by that?

Once again, ignoring his expression she continued, “Now, I need you to pick a perk from this list. Based on your choice of attribute, this list has been modified.”

It took him close to 25 minutes to go through the entire list. There were literally thousands!

Ultimately, he settled on one.

Perks Added

[The Original Alpha]

Being the alpha, you are naturally more powerful and charismatic than the rest of your species. Other species fear you. You are an apex predator and people will instinctively know this. Your lovers will comprehend that a single woman cannot satiate you, and your mates who desire your progeny will worship your genes.

Making his choice, he nodded and turned towards the goddess, who looked at him questioningly.

“It was the only one that would boost other attributes than simply charisma. And Ivan requested me to have as many women as possible. He would be disappointed if I didn’t do exactly that,” he added with a smirk, as he shrugged and explained my choice.

Returning it with a sultry smile of her own, Emilia replied, “Oh? Already decided to have a harem, have we?”

“If you are a part of it then yes,” he added with a sly look of his own. Internally, he was sweating buckets, but he did not show it. Fake it till you make it right?

Emilia leaned in after hearing that, her sultry gaze fixed on the guy as she whispered, "If you can prove yourself and become the strongest in this world, then maybe I'll consider joining your ranks of lovers." Her words dripped with seduction, and a mischievous grin played across her lips as she awaited his response. It was clear that she was not easily impressed, and only the most powerful and deserving could earn her affections. Anderson would have normally blushed at that but instead, he only felt a thrill of excitement and determination, knowing that he would stop at nothing to prove himself and make sure she becomes his. Maybe his perk had already begun affecting him.

Before he could answer, Emilia returned to her original place, and began speaking, “last thing before you go. Would you like to be reborn or simply transmigrate to your destination?”

Thinking about it for a few moments, Anderson replied, “Transmigration. I do not wish to lose this possession of mine, nor do I wish to live through childhood again.”

No way in hell was he losing the only thing that meant something to him (The Mew keychain).

“Hmm, then you will need a new look, this doesn’t work well for me,” Emilia said, before bringing up another screen, but this one was vastly different.

“Modify your looks and do it fast. I have stretched this out long enough,” she said before gesturing him to walk forward and work on his appearance.

After a few minutes, he was ready, and Emilia told him to push a button. Moments later, a completely new man stood in his place.

His avatar stood tall and imposing, with a physique that was both muscular and lean. His dark skin glistened in the sunlight, accentuating the ridges and valleys of his well-defined muscles. He had the broad shoulders and powerful legs of a warrior, but his body was more streamlined and agile than bulky. His golden eyes shone with an intense, almost feral energy, and his long, wild hair flowed freely around his face and down his back, their color as dark as the midnight sky. There was something untamed and dangerous about him, yet also a sense of grace and fluidity in the way he moved. He exuded an aura of power and confidence. He looked like a force to be reckoned with, a warrior born and bred for battle.

Emilia whistled at his appearance, running her eyes all over his body, gazing at it like a lioness. If he managed to fulfil his goals, she would definitely not mind being fucked by a fine masculine specimen like the one before her.

“Hmm, well done,” she complimented him, her tongue rolling out to lick her lips in a sensual manner, making something stir within Anderson’s loins.

“You will need a new name. Preferably Japanese. Let’s see, yes this would work perfectly,” Emilia spoke up, mostly to herself as she snapped her fingers and the name on the interface showing his attributes changed.

Arashi Ryuu

“Arashi Ryuu?” he raised an eyebrow at the new name he had been blessed with. Sounded badass enough, but what did it mean?

“Arashi means Storm, and Ryuu means Dragon. I believe that was your code name as a space explorer. Fitting, don’t you think?” Emilia spoke, answering his question. And she was right. It felt right for some reason.

"Are you ready for your new adventure now, Arashi Ryuu?" Emilia questioned him, making him realise. It was finally time to go. He no longer held any regrets. He would surely miss everyone he had gotten to know at him time on this Earth though.

"Yes. Let's do this," he replied, resolute with his words.

Emilia waved her hand and a gate appeared, shining bright with the radiance of a thousand suns, but it did not damage his eyes. It soothed him instead, as if it were welcoming him in its embrace.

"When you walk through this, you will be transported to a new reality and your journey shall begin. Do not disappoint me," Emilia said as she nodded her head at him, motioning him to move through the celestial gate.

With a nod towards her, Arashi Ryuu walked through the blinding light of the gate. Disappearing from this world forever.

~ After Arashi Deprated ~

“You can come out now,” Emilia called out as she sat back down on her throne. Waiting for the voyeur to make an appearance and she did not have to wait long.

A lady soon appeared out of swirling shadows, a lady who appeared as an exact copy of her, but a black dress hugged her luscious body instead.

“Why did you not inform me that you had been tasked with this?” the woman questioned with a stern tone that left no room for arguments. She waved her hand and another throne, similar to the one already there materialised beneath her, as she sat down on it.

“I do not need you to supervise me, Selene,” Emilia replied, her face scrunched up in an angry pout.

“Hmm, I beg to differ. And its mom for you, young lady,” the now named Selene, mother of the goddess in white replied.

The two sat their in silence for a while, before Emilia’s eyes widened in alarm.

“Fuck,” she cursed, abruptly standing up. Her mother raising an eyebrow at her behaviour.

“I forgot to tell him, he would lose a few memories of this world and the memories of our encounter would be altered,” she cursed her stupidity, as her mother sighed at her carelessness. She knew she was going to be reprimanded for this by the big boss.

Well, even gods made mistakes.

~ With Arashi ~

Walking through the gate, he was hit by a wave of pleasant air and scent of the flora around, as his eyes widened and an involuntary gasp escaped him as he took in his new surroundings.

It was a stark contrast to the apocalyptic wasteland he had left behind. Here, there was a lush green forest, teeming with life and vitality. The air was clean and fresh, and the skies were clear, with the sun raining down on the fields, bathing everything in a warm and inviting glow.

The trees towered above him, their branches heavy with bright leaves and delicious succulent fruits. It was as though he had stumbled upon a slice of paradise, a world untouched by the destruction and chaos that had ravaged his own.

For a moment, he simply stood there, taking it all in. Arashi felt a sense of hope and renewal, a feeling that perhaps there was a chance to start over again in this new land. It was a moment of peace and tranquility, a brief respite from the horrors of the world he had left behind.

He was broken out of his stupor by a message flashing by his eyes.

[Pack Leader System initialising]

Ah yes, the power that he had been gifted. It seems like it was finally awakening.

Information regarding the powers granted to him by the grace of the system, overwhelmed his mind as he got a hang of what his powers are capable of and how to use them. Steve Irwin would have sacrificed everything he had to be able to wield a power like this.

Finally getting the time to admire something other than the environment, Arashi took a look at what changes his body had gone through. And man, were there some BIG changes.

His clothing had changed, with him now only wearing a pair of white linen slacks that did nothing to hide his impressive and muscular legs. Being a man, he did sneak a peak at his tool, satisfied with what he carried. But the biggest change probably sat proudly on the top of his head.

He now boasted a pair of dark, minotaur-like horns that stood proudly amongst his dark locks, adding an even more intimidating look to his already menacing figure. Feeling them up for a bit, he was sure that they were connected to his head, as if they had always been there.

As he moved his new body around, getting a feel for his improved body and physical traits, his mind finally registered something he saw in his skill interface.

Quickly pulling it up once more, he acknowledged that he hadn’t imagined it.

‘Pokemon?’ he thought with wide eyes. ‘So, the world I am in now is the world of Pokemon?!’ he thought with childlike excitement. After all, every kid at some point in their life dreamed about being born in Pallet Town, waking up one day to leave for a grand adventure with their trusted partner as they earned the title of Pokemon Master.

‘But, how did I end up here?’ he thought, his eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. ‘I remember crossing a portal, but how did I gain these… powers? And where were my friends when I was stranded in the apocalypse? Was I the only one alive?’

His mind ran furiously through his memories, but he drew up a blank every time. Sighing to himself, he began moving deeper into the forest hoping to find a civilization.

As luck would have it however, he came across a rather… odd scene, to say the least.

A little, orange ape like being was being surrounded and attacked by a couple of deadly looking wasps with sharp stingers. It took me a few moments to register the scene, but the moment I saw the lance like stingers on the wasps and the little fire that burned weakly on the tail of the small primate, I shot off straight ahead.

No way in hell was I going to let a bunch of Beedril do this to a cute, and possibly one of the best starter pokemon, Chimchar.

Rushing towards them, I used my new found strength and kicked one of them in the face, sending it hurtling through the air before doing the same to the second one. However, the two soon found their bearing and menacingly buzzed at me. I was having second thoughts now.

But before those two could attack me, a stream of red hot flames engulfed them both. My eyes followed it to the source and their the baby pokemon that was on the ground moments before, stood with a satisfied smile on its face, grinning at the charred remains of the two which suddenly dispersed into lights. Huh, interesting.

The ‘ting’ sound of the alert function of the system, rang through my mind, a question popping up on a screen in front of me.

[Beast Bonding Initializing…]

Would you like to bond with Chimchar – The Chimp Pokemon?

Yes.

Bonded Beasts

Chimchar – Rank E

As I felt the bond connect, I looked at Chimchar, who looked back at me with that adorable smile of his and I could feel his elation at the thought of becoming my pokemon.

“You and I are going to do great things buddy,” I told him, a confident smirk on my face, as Chimchar exclaimed his name out once again in response.

~ Midnight (Nemuri Kayama) POV, 1 Month Later ~

She did not imagine that THIS was how she would be spending her weekend after the term had finally ended.

The advent of dungeons had changed the world. And not for the better. For the last 10 years, humanity had been living in constant fear of being wiped out from existence by a force that they wouldn’t be able to overcome with the power of their quirks.

These massive spheres had appeared in the clear blue sky one day, 10 years ago. No one knows why. No one knows how. They just did. And thus, began the battle for humanity’s survival as a whole.

Within weeks they had realised the sheer destruction the monsters inside were capable of causing if let out in the open. And whenever that happened, death and destruction followed the wake of the beast.

The appearance of the dungeons had drastically altered their world, as the never-ending game between heroes and villains didn't seem as essential when creatures appeared all over the place, spilling out of odd sub-dimensions.

They'd quickly discovered that dungeons came in different levels, with some being far, far more dangerous than others, and that failing to clear a dungeon on a regular basis would result in a dungeon break, where the eternally-spawning monsters would pour out into the real world to cause mayhem and destruction. As a result, pro heroes like her would have to frequent the dungeons in order to keep the monster population at bay.

The dungeon she was currently inside, was under the jurisdiction of UA Academy, the top-ranking hero university in Japan. UA believed in giving students first-hand experience of how they should go about clearing dungeons and apprehending villains. Which is why many of the weaker dungeons are used to train students.

The reason however, for her presence here was the fact that last time when the clean-up crew of students and teachers had visited this dungeon, not a single monster had been spotted here.

Not a single one.

Something which was unprecedented. The rate at which these monsters spawned, astounded scientific researchers across borders.

But it seemed like she now had an answer to her question.

Over the course of the last hour, they'd found signs of someone living in the dungeon. Something which she had already reported to Principal Nezu, and he had responded with an amazing back-up for her.

They'd even photographed it, tiny camps strewn throughout the vast forest with homemade tents and hammocks. They hadn't figured out who was in charge of the camps, and they'd done the right thing by reporting to the school. This dungeon was under UA's control; they kept track of everyone who entered and exited, and no one went missing. So they were really interested in how someone got into the dungeon, because it may be an indication of a new breed of smarter monsters. "They're definitely right, there should be more monsters than this," Ryukyu acknowledged, her nose twitching slightly as she looked about. "Something has been after them."

"She is right," Mirko's voice sounded out as she landed with a thud on the ground. "Even throughout the forest tops, very few monsters can be spotted. If something has indeed been hunting them... its most likely a dungeon boss."

Fuck, this was worse than she imagined. If there was a dungeon boss in here, then they would have to suspend all activities scheduled to be carried out in this dungeon for the next few months. This dungeon was essential to UA since this was an E-rank one, where they could train their first-year students. The other E-rank dungeons either had monsters that were too weak, or the environment of those dungeons wasn't suited for heroes in training.

"Let's hope it’s just a villain waiting to ambush students and not the worst-case scenario," Midnight said, gesturing them to move forward and search the dungeon's every nook and cranny.

Soon, they came across a site where they once again found a camp. Ryukyu bent forward and inspected the remains of the fire before saying, "This one is more recent. Put out maybe a few hours ago. We might be close."

"She's right," Mirko's voice cut through, they could see her ears twitching. "I can pick up sounds of a battle going on approximately 30 metres ahead. This might be the one we are looking for."

"Then let us hurry. We cannot allow an unknown entity to pose a threat to the students," Midnight said, her tone serious, making the other two pro heroes nod with her as they moved towards the source.

Sneaking closer, they crossed the thick foliage and stood within the bushes as the looked at the scene in front of them.

A small monkey-like monster, with a small flame burning brightly on his behind, stood panting and scraped in front of a large purple blob. A blob that they were all familiar with.

"What in the world is that? I've never seen a slime of that colour in such a large size before," Mirko said, preparing to rush it, her demeanour revealing how concerned she was. Ryukyu, too, was ready to alter at a moment's notice.

Midnight, on the other hand, was well aware that this would not be a fair fight. If the size of that thing was any indication of its strength, it would undoubtedly pack a punch.Slimes, on the other hand, were immune to physical attacks. Mirko and Ryukyu both possessed eccentricities that relied on their physical strength. Smaller slimes were easy to manage, but one this big?

Slimes didn't seem to be impacted by her Quirk either, therefore it was bound to be exceedingly resistant to their attacks.

They knew they had to exterminate this monster before any student unfortunately encountered a slime of this size. They wouldn’t want any accident to befall any of their aspiring young heroes.

But for now, all they could do was wait and watch. They did not have to wait long though.

As the slime lunged, the small monkey sprang into action. His powerful hind legs propelled him forward, closing the distance between them in an instant. He swung his massive, clawed paw at the creature, his sharp talons slashing through the slime's amorphous body. But the slime was resilient, quickly reforming itself as if the attack had little effect. Undeterred, little monster danced agilely around the creature, avoiding its slimy tendrils that lashed out in all directions. With each dodge, he struck back, delivering fiery punches and kicks that sent sparks flying through the air. Flames engulfed his fists, scorching the slime and causing it to emit sizzling noises. But they had barely any effect as the slime quickly reformed itself.  Regeneration at this rate was something unprecedented and all the three heroes could feel sweat forming on their faces. The sheer threat of the slime making them cautious.

For the next few minutes, they watched the slime toy and slam the little ape down again and again, showing no signs of becoming tired. Their original plan was to attack and overwhelm the two when they were tired and exterminate them both. But at this rate, even if they get the monkey, they were not sure about the slime.

Suddenly however, their attention was drawn by the sound of someone clapping loudly, making the two monsters stop as the heroes got in position. Was it a villain? Or another, much stronger monster?

"Alright, that's enough you two. It's clear who is losing here. Chimichar, don't get disheartened, you will get there soon," a charming, male voice could be heard just beyond the two monsters. It was then they saw who it belonged to. Out of the lake, they saw a man walk out. Buck naked.

With a body that should be studied and displayed in museums for all ladies to look at. The three ladies couldn't help but blush as the dark-skinned man walked towards the two monsters. Normally, seeing a human walking towards a monster, the monsters would either attack or the human would attack them (usually heroes), but this scenario was bizarre. The man walked in front of the slime and began... petting it.

Petting it?!

“Well done, Ozzy. You have grown much stronger,” the man said, as he smiled at the purple blob. The purple blob seemed to croon and jiggle with delight at the words of the human. Now they were sure their jaws were down on the floor.

“Now, would you three like to come out or do you want to peep for some more time?” the man called out as he turned around and looked directly in their direction.

They realised they had been busted and simply walked out of the bushes. They knew they could at least fight their way out and escape if push came to shove so they were not worried about this.

“Mind telling me what three cosplayers are doing here?” the man asked them with a raised eyebrow. Still completely naked and without shame, he didn’t look in a hurry to cover himself. And none of them could blame him, especially after taking a look at his complete body.

“We mean you no harm. We are just here to exterminate the monsters and take a look at the area,” Midnight said, as the three of them stood in front of the man and his… comrades?

“Sorry but you can’t exterminate these two. They are my boys,” he stated, as if it was the most normal thing to say in the world. He crossed his arms over his broad chest and simply looked at them with annoyance in his eyes.

“Your boys?” Mirko asked, an incredulous expression on her face. “It’s a monster. With a growth rate and power level that none of us have seen before in this dungeon.”

Which was true. While they had dealt with a lot stronger than before, including those, but this one seemed to pose a greater threat to them if they let it grow at the rate it was growing at.

“He wouldn’t do anything to you without my command. So, if your done here, leave. We have training to do,” the man said, giving his ultimatum on the situation.

“Why isn’t it attacking you? Do you have quirk that allows you to control monsters?” Ryukyu asked, her eyes looking at the trio in front of them with suspicion. And why was she still blushing.

“HE isn’t attacking me because he is bonded to me. What the fuck is a quirk?” he asked as he petted the large gooey blob.

“How do you not know what a quirk is?” Mirko asked as she stared at him with an expression that said, ‘are you an idiot.’ “And put some damn clothes on already.”

“Yeah, I don’t know about this ‘quirk’ thing you are talking about but my power allows me to bond with monsters that I come across and defeat in a way. Also, you interrupted my bath, so the moment you leave I’m getting back to it,” he said.

Sharing a look between herself and Ryukyu while Mirko and the mystery man bantered, she nodded at her fellow hero and decided on their next course of action.

Stepping forward, she gained the attention of the man to herself. Amber eyes staring deep into her soul.

“If you don’t mind, could you come with us. There is someone we would like you to meet who might be able to help you out,” she said, hoping he would say yes.

He looked at her for a while and she feared he might reject the invitation but then he nodded at her and went back to put some clothes on. She promised she was only slightly disappointed. Only slightly.

“Lead the way, bunny,” he told Mirko, getting her to fume again, something he took great pleasure in. She had always been easy to rile up.

“Follow me, the exit to the dungeon is this way,” she said, interrupting whatever Mirko was about to say, making the bunny girl humph in annoyance.

“There is an exit? And what the fuck is a dungeon?” their new companion asked.

Yeah, there were a lot of questions that needed to be answered. This one wasn’t even the most bizarre of them all.
