2022-06-14 10:38:59"The inter-house sport is tomorrow, I can no longer wait," a young female girl said to her friends as they made their way to the school eatery.
They were dressed in green and black uniforms with a badge on the left side of their shirts. 'Hero Academia.' was boldly imprinted on the badges. "Yeah, Elizabeth, I can no longer wait as well," another girl replied. The girls laughed as they chattered. On their way, just before going into the building, they saw a boy standing by the entrance door. "Hey, look, it's Alex." They all turned their attention to the boy who was oblivious of the fact that they were talking about him. "I hate him for so many reasons," the girl named Elizabeth said and scoffed. "Everything about him speaks bad of him; the fact that he is so weak, poor, stupid, and not-so-good looking. Makes me wanna puke each time I see him." "I wonder if he's going to pass tomorrow's test," another girl said. She sounded worried about the boy but then Elisabeth hissed. "If he fails, he's going to leave the Academy for good. Might as well become a cleaner or something else to help himself, tsk." The girls walked past the boy and went into the building, as they did, Alex glanced at them and saw Elizabeth. He smiled at her but instead of getting smiled at, the girl hissed and walked away. This got the boy upset that he frowned. "Still thinking about her, huh?" Someone asked from behind and when he turned, he saw a boy there. "Peter," he called and tried to smile a bit but the boy could not be deceived. "You know what, you should stop pretending to me. We've been friends since elementary school, you can not lie to me." Alex sighed, his friend had caught him. There was no need to continue pretending like everything was fine when nothing is. "If you're worried about Elizabeth accepting you, then I think you should stop and worry more about tomorrow's inter-house sport. We are not expected to fail the tests, not even one or we will end up driven out of the Academy " Peter told him. "I am very much aware," Alex replied and frowned the more. "But how am I supposed to pass the tests without having an ability? I don't have even a single one." "Don't worry, Alex, I'll help you," Peter consoled his friend but that did not help the issue. It did not make the boy less sad. "Sorry Peter, but I don't think I'll be joining you for lunch," Alex said and turned to leave. "But why? Did you not tell me you were hungry?" Peter asked, frowning. "I have lost my appetite," Alex replied. "I'm going back to the hostel, you can join me later," he added and left Peter's side. As he walked away, he cursed himself inwardly for being incompetent. He had always been a burden to Peter ever since they became friends, sometimes, he wished the boy would grow tired of helping him, of always carrying him along, and just dump him because he had equally grown tired of himself. Some years ago, monsters suddenly appeared on Earth and began to cause havoc, as if that was not enough, villains also appeared, threatening the lives of people. Everyday, the numbers of villains grew even larger than the numbers of monsters in the world and the people's lives were at stake. To find a solution, some individuals devised many plans that will help them, and after so many researches, one came. A bizarre plan, they called it then. Many were against it since it was against the order of nature but because the rate of death in the world increased daily, they decided to go ahead with it. They extracted the blood of monsters and injected them into humans and after many days, these humans began to develop special traits and they called it ability. These humans were able use abilities belonging to monsters and fight both the monsters and the villains terrorizing people. The first humans gave birth, and the abilities were passed down to their offsprings, thereby, creating a world of special individuals called the heroes. Unfortunately, one day, someone emerged as the world strongest villain, he was born with dual abilities, something that has never happened before. He caused havoc, destroying almost an entire country... His reign continued for a while until one day, he disappeared without a trace. But before he left, he promised that he would return to wipe out the remaining world's population. After this, an idea was made and that was to build a place for training young people so as to get them prepared for the future battle against the strongest villain and his cohorts. Alex was unfortunately born without an ability and being born into a family of heroes, people could not help but ridicule him, calling him a jinx. His father however loves him unconditionally and using his power as one of the S-class rated heroes on the list, he enrolled him into the heroes academy with hopes of giving him a bright future. Still, nothing was working well for him. His classmates avoided him, no one really wanted to have anything to do with him. Life could have been hellish for him if he didn't have Peter, his best friend to be with him. Peter helped him with virtually everything, helping pass his practical tests, helping on other matters... The boy has always been good to him but now, he was getting tired of it. Peter's parents were also heroes, they use the fire ability as such, he also had the fire ability. In the Academy, he was not only famous for being the only child of the S-class rated heroes but also for his handsomeness and intelligence. This was a contrast of who he was. Sometimes, he finds himself envying him and wishing he could just be him even if it was only for a day. As he walked back to his hostel, he cried inwardly and wished a miracle would happen. Tomorrow will determine if he was ready to be a hero just like his parents. If he fails, not only will he be chased out of the Academy, he will become a disgrace to the hero world, a dent to his family, and will be ridiculed by every one. If a miracle does not happen, he might end up giving up on life.

"Hero Steven?" Alex mumbled and tried to jump out of the bed but Pter quickly grabbed him, holding him on place. Alex turned to Peter, staring at him with shock written all over his face. "What do you think you are doing by holding me here?" He asked him. "Hero Steven is my father and I need to go see things for myself!""No, you can't," Peter said to him. "Your leg hasn't completely healed, you can not be moving it around.""I dont care about my leg, it's my father they are calling a villain, I need to go warn them! They can call me names but not my family, not those I love!" Alex yelled and tried to move but Peter was firmly holding him, not allowing him to leave the bed. "Peter, please I need your help. You have to let me go to my father," Alex pleaded.

"How am I supposed to know?" Alex asked David. Some of the students got killed from the attack, he somehow managed to survive, so what exactly did David mean? "Are tou indirectly saying I have a hand in their deaths?" He asked him. "That is not what I mean to say," David said firmly. "But you can't expect me to let it slide, do you?" "I dont care," Alex replied, causing David to become angry. "I am only alive because it's a miracle, I don't know what else you want me to say." Alex had to hide the fact that he's aware that his father was among the villains that had attacked the students. Besides, there was nothing else that happened during that period. He remembered he was under attack by a monster but David came to save him, and that was all. He remembered nothing else. "You—" David clenched his fists angrily. If not for the fact that the school had strictly warned them to hide the truth from Alex, he would have continued. "Fine," he mumbled and left the room. After he had le
SSS-Ranked Necro-Villain The Power Within
Alex opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by a sea of dead monsters. As he raised his hand, he noticed that it was covered in a thick, black substance that seemed to be pulsing with a strange energy. He tried to shake it off, but it only seemed to spread further up his arm.Confused and a bit alarmed, Alex looked around at the sea of dead monsters surrounding him. He had no memory of how he got there or what had happened. The last thing he remembered was...His mind was a blank. He couldn't recall anything.Suddenly, a faint humming noise caught his attention. It was coming from the black substance on his hand. As he watched, the substance began to glow with a soft, blue light.Alex felt a strange sensation wash over him, as if the substance was communicating with him. He could sense its power, its energy, and its hunger.The humming noise grew louder, and the blue light intensified. Alex felt himself being drawn into the substance, as if it was pulling him into a vortex.H
SSS-Ranked Necro-Villain Despair And Power
The streets were empty and silent, the only sound being the pounding of Alex's feet on the pavement as he ran through the night. His breath came in ragged gasps, his heart racing with a mix of emotions: shock, anger, and a deep sense of betrayal.He didn't know where he was going, but he couldn't stay still. He had to keep moving, had to burn off the excess energy that was building up inside him. The contents of the letter still swirled in his mind, the words seared into his brain.As he ran, the streets became a blur, the buildings and houses nothing more than fleeting shadows. He didn't notice the curious glances from the few people who were out and about, didn't hear the distant hum of a car driving by.His world had narrowed down to a single focus: the truth. He had to know what had happened, had to uncover the secrets that had been hidden from him for so long.The streets began to blend together, and Alex found himself running through a part of town he didn't recognize.

SSS-Ranked Necro-Villain Bullied
The moment Alex returned to the academy, he went straight to his hostel without bothering to return to the clinic.No one really cared about him so no one was going to look for him. Also, there is no point returning there because he was well and healthy — Going back is a waste of time and energy.After returning to the hostel, he went to take his bath, carefully scrubbing dirts off his body and after that, he got changed.As he was done dressing, his stomach grumbled — he hadn't eaten for days so he was definitely going to be hungry.Fortunately, it was still noon so he decided to go and get some stuffs with the little money he had on him.On his way to the school eatery, his mind wandered to Peter and wondered if his friend was okay.

After Exams Party
The sun hung low on the horizon by the time the last bell rang, casting long shadows across the schoolyard. The air buzzed with a mix of exhaustion and relief as students poured out of the classrooms, their backpacks heavier with scribbled notes and half-used pens.After hours of back-to-back exams, the once energetic hallways now echoed with yawns and stretched limbs. Yet, despite the fatigue clinging to their bones, a shared excitement coursed through them, no more exams until next term. It was a thought sweet enough to wash away the memory of aching wrists and last-minute cramming.Peter swung his bag over his shoulder, grinning as he nudged Alex. "I thought those exams would never end. My brain's probably fried now."Alex gave a faint smile, his thoughts elsewhere, but even he couldn't deny the relief of finishing. Across the hall, Elizabeth leaned against the wall, arms crossed, her usual sharpness softened by a hint of weariness. She caught Alex's eye for a brief second before l
Exam
As the exam period arrives, the usual buzz of the school shifts into something more intense. Students scramble to cram last-minute notes, while others wear the tired expressions of sleepless nights.Alex, however, feels an odd sense of calm. Between secret fights in monster-filled portals and the chaos surrounding Elizabeth and Lilac, a written exam feels almost easy in comparison. Still, he knows better than to underestimate it.Peter leans back in his chair, stretching. "You ready for this?" he asks, his usual grin slightly strained."More or less," Alex replies, glancing at the neatly stacked notes on his desk. He catches a glimpse of Elizabeth across the room, she looked as composed as ever, though her fingers tap against her book impatiently.The door swings open, and Teacher Martin strides in with an armful of exam papers. "I hope you've all been preparing," he says, his gaze sweeping over the class before lingering a beat longer on Alex.As the papers are passed out, Alex exhal
Reward
Alex barely had time to catch his breath before the faint hum grew louder—a low, rhythmic vibration that made the ground tremble beneath his feet. His instincts flared in warning. Something was coming.He turned sharply toward the far end of the chamber, where the shadows seemed to ripple and twist. Then, with a bone-chilling hiss, another snake slithered into view—identical to the first. Two heads, gleaming green scales, and a pair of jagged horns pulsing faintly with power."You've got to be kidding me," Alex muttered, his hands clenching into fists. He was already exhausted, his muscles heavy from draining the first snake's energy. But there was no time to rest, this thing wasn't going to wait.The snake struck first. Both heads lunged in perfect synchronization, forcing Alex to dive to the side. The impact of their missed attack shattered the ground where he had stood moments before, sending shards of stone flying.He landed hard, pain jolting through his body. His regeneration wa

Alex wiped his hands on his hoodie, the foul-smelling ichor of the Caterpillar-Spider still clinging to his skin. His heart pounded in his chest, not just from exertion but from the rush—the thrill of using his abilities in a real fight. This was nothing like the lectures or the training. This was raw, unpredictable, and dangerous. Exactly what he had wanted.The cavern stretched ahead of him, the dim glow of bioluminescent fungi casting eerie shadows against the jagged walls. The air grew colder as he advanced, and the distant clicking sounds grew louder and sharper. More Caterpillar-Spiders. He clenched his fists, his body still aching but pulsing with the energy he had drained from the first monster."Bring it on," he muttered again, stepping forward.As if responding to his challenge, three more Caterpillar-Spiders emerged from the darkness. These were slightly smaller than the first but just as menacing—eight gleaming crimson eyes and venomous fangs dripping with poison. They mov
A Portal
Alex walked through the streets, looking for any possible job to do — He no longer had any money on him and he wanted to stop depending on Peter, his friend for his feeding.Unlike before when he could not do anything for himself, he now had an ability and with the help of his ability, he would get something doing.Since they were not yet qualified to go on missions, he would do it secretly — no one would find out as long as he hides his identity.He would have gone to his house but he wasn't ready to go there just yet — Not like he was afraid of memories returning, he didn't want to draw attention to himself because he believed that many had their eyes on him — he was certainly being watched."Hey, it's a portal!"As he walked with thoughts in his head, he didn't hear what the people were saying until he arrived at a place where there was a crowd. He looked ahead and saw how people gathered and we're mumbling about something, curious, he decided to check it out.As he arrived at the
Sick
"How is she doing?" Alex asked Peter as they both glanced at Elizabeth who was asleep on the bed. She was currently inside Alex's room.Peter narrowed his eyes as he stared at Elizabeth. "She's fine but it seems she exhausted herself way too much. She used too much of her strength while she is not supposed to," he replied.Alex did not understand some parts of what Peter said. "I don't understand," he said. "What do you mean she isn't supposed to use her full strength during fights?""Because she's frail," Peter replied and then sighed before continuing. "You don't know, right? Fine, come with me, let's talk outside."Alex furrowed his brows and then followed Peter outside after glancing at Elizabeth who was yet to open her eyes."So what is it that seems so important?" He asked his friend once they had gotten outside."Elizabeth is not truly the child of Victor Blackwood," Peter said. "She was just adopted because the wife of Victor could not give birth to her own child. There are ci
Trouble
Elizabeth did not understand why Alex prefered to run away instead of fighting back but the moment she saw the blood that had stained his shirt, she grabbed his hand and ran out of the bar.She ran with everything she's got, her mind racing. Occasionally, she glanced back to ensure that Alex was fine and each time she didn't see any sigh of pain on his face, she felt somewhat relieved though she wondered why.When they got far away from the bar, Alex stopped, causing her to abruptly stop. She thought something must have happened to him but when she looked at him, he was fine."That's enough," he told her.Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, still catching her breath. "Enough?" she echoed, her grip on his wrist tightening. "You were bleeding, Alex. What part of that is enough?"Alex glanced down at his shirt, the dark stain spreading slowly across the fabric. "It's not as bad as it looks," he said, his voice calm—too calm for someone who had just been bleeding."Not as bad—" She bit back her
Bar Girl (2)
Alex's fingers tightened around the glass as he placed it firmly on the table. His sharp gaze remained locked on Lilac. "The water you gave us has a fishy taste," he said, his voice calm but cold. "Why's that?"Lilac blinked, a flicker of surprise flashing across her face before her usual, enchanting smile returned. "I happened to add a substance," she replied sweetly, brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear.Alex's expression hardened. "What substance?""I can't tell you." Her voice was light, playful. "It's our shop's top secret."He glanced briefly at Elizabeth, who still seemed caught off guard by the suddenness of his actions, then returned his attention to Lilac. "If you can't tell me, how do I know it's safe?"Lilac's smile didn't waver, but her eyes sharpened with something colder. "I never said it was safe," she murmured. "But it won't hurt you. Her, though…" She let the words hang in the air, knowing Alex would understand.A tense silence stretched between them befor
Bar Girl
Just as promised, Elizabeth's uncle was able to get information regarding Lilac and it sent to Elizabeth.After the first class, Elizabeth called Alex and handed the envelope to him."It didn't take you long," he commented as he collected the information from Elizabeth."My uncle's ability is to gather information regarding anyone as long as they within in this country," Elizabeth replied.Unlike before, she spoke nicely to Alex and Alex though aware, pretended like he didn't notice anything and continued in his usual tone."I see," he mumbled.'I might as well use her uncle and gather some information'. "Did you hear me?" Elizabeth suddenly asked him and he glanced up and looked at her.For the first time, their eyes met and it felt as though time slowed down for them. The two stared at each other, both having their thoughts but it seemed as though they were thinking the same thing."What did you say?" Alex who was the first to break free from whatever was happening asked her.Embar
