Chapter 0 - Prologue: ( ? ) Years Into The Future
"I guess the heroes only amount to this much~n! How boring."
Disappointed, the playful voice of a child rang across the ruined cityscape. Following that simple voice was a explosive shockwave of super compressed air; destroying everything it touched with incredible destructive force.
The ground caved in while the buildings above it collapsed. The corpses of many people were instantly obliterated into fine red mist, while the only things left were the tattered bodies of the remaining heroes.
Many of them already had their heads in the dirt as they were no different from being dead. Few stood tall after resisting against that shockwave attack, but not long after, they fell with a thud and instantly died.
"Crazy... This is seriously crazy..."
Not even having the power left to stand, one of the heroes slumped onto the ground while her wounds slowly began burning up to a red-black hardened mixture.
"That kid- no, that monster..."
Just like her, countless others scattered across the ruined city collapsed one at a time. Their eyes quivered, but they couldn't cry due to the hot flames around them immediately evaporating their tears.
"He seriously-"
These feelings of helplessness were unknown to them... after becoming pro heroes, they gained the qualifications to contend with the best of the best. All they had to do was dedicate their time and effort and results would slowly begin to show.
And even then, the true power of heroes didn't come from their individual strength, but rather, their power to work as a team. Just like how a single officer wouldn't be dispatched to deal with an armed assailant; a single hero will rarely be sent to deal with a decently powerful villain. They'll run in as a group to guarantee their chances to subjugate them...
But even then...
...
Mount Lady's lips trembled as she raised her head up towards the skies. An indescribable- no, primal fear filled her eyes.
"He took on all of the pro heroes stationed in Tokyo on his own..."
Mount Lady turned her head and shuddered involuntarily at the countless bodies littered around her. Just a few hours ago, she was fighting alongside these people...
'If only the top three were here... Then maybe this wouldn't hav -'
But before she could even finish her thoughts, a dull crunch resounded out as the mischievous finger of a child pointed down at her.
"Ah man, I really wanted to kill you~n! Too bad the boss ordered otherwise..."
Floating high in the sky, a violet haired child - looking no older than fifteen - extended his finger out towards Mount Lady.
In a quick attempt to scramble away, she threw her hands behind her to crawl quickly to safety. If she died here, then there'd be no one left that'd recognize this monster. Even if the villain himself said that he couldn't kill, their words can't be taken as fact.
'If even a tiny bit of info went out, then there might be hope!'
In a final act of heroism, she fought to survive. Her body ached all over in pain, but even then she had to live.
However, the second her hands touched the floor, she involuntarily let out a scream.
"A-AAAAAAHH!"
She fell over backwards while her pained expression never left her face. Her mouth agape, tears formed near the edges of her eyes before quickly evaporating away.
She lifted her hands and slowly looked at them, her mouth still left wide open like a broken door. Although she could hardly see due to the salt piling up on her eyes... it looked as if every joint and bone below her wrist on both of her hands were horribly displaced and broken.
Her senses were incredibly dulled by the nerve-wracking fight that just happened. After finally realizing the state of her body... the pain heavily smashed her into the ground.

"Boou~. Is playtime already over~n? How disappointing."
Quietly chuckling to himself, the child floating in the air pulled his finger back. His long purple hair flowed perfectly in sync with the wind, almost as if the wind followed his hair rather than the other way around.
Quickly composing himself, the long-haired boy looked throughout the city, only to be filled with further disappointment.
'Sadly, it seems like the inheritor of All Might's power won't show up... Such a shame, you~n...'
Now looking annoyed, he slowly raised his right arm and pointed his palm directly up.
"Can you believe that~n? Your hero won't come to save you."
Looking down, the child realized that everyone had already passed out. Now his annoyance turned to slight anger.
"Hey, at least stay awake during my monologue~n!... So annoying... you think I won't kill you~n?"
With an incredible explosion of white mist, a sound deafening screech crackled across the sky. From the palm of the child's hands, a quickly turning gale of pure wind shot upwards. Picked up the rubble and broken buildings from around the ground, some of the surrounding corpses were also dragged in.
"The boss won't punish me! Why~n? Because I'm cute!"
Like a storm of blades, streaks of the wind cut into the ground-- leaving behind deep groves.
It expanded across the entire city. Cutting through the clouds, even they started to twist around and disperse.
The boy's purple hair momentarily froze as he clenched his right hand before swiftly swinging it down.
"Gale-Over Heaven, Thunderous Mjölnir Hammer Of Complete Death! Reincarnation!"
Tipping over, the entire length of the gale came dropping towards the already broken city below. With the clouds above being dragged along, and with the shriek of the winds, it resembled a heavenly spectacle.
As the tower seemingly cut into the city below, the resounding sounds of buildings crunching and crashing followed.
"Such a shame~n... those losers couldn't even give me a warm up."
Putting his arms behind his head, the kid kicked up his feet and relaxed. Once a bomb detonates, the "second explosion" always seems more satisfying than the first. All he had to do was wait for that satisfying second boom, and he can finally head back...
...
"...What the hell is going o~n? Where's my second act?"
Sneaking a peek down below, he confirmed that the pillar had... no wait, where did it go??
'
A Quirk's manifested skill won't just disappear for no reason! What's happein -!'
"[ Renewal Taekwondo : Recoilless Kick. ] "
The "second explosion" rushed by as a greatly expansive vacuum devoured the surrounding winds-and now suddenly in a free fall, the purple-haired kid was completely dazed.
The surrounding landscape stretched and distorted as space and time slowly became dis-configured. Like a fragile piece of glass, it all shattered into pieces due to the intense warping. The clouds in the air split apart as the sky rumbled.
With all the rubble in the air disintegrating as well, suddenly, there was a canyon splitting Tokyo into two halves.
"W-What the hell-!"
Still flying towards the ground, he was completely confused. But before he could even let out a scream, a certain annoyed voice chimed in.
"Damn chuunibyou bastard. Do you still think you're in middle school? I'm about to go up there and shove this foot up your ass."
