《THE TRIALS: Path Toward Godhood. (WARNING : MATURE CONTENT)》CH 11 : IS IT THE END OF AN ERA?
Advertisement
ONE MONTH LATER:
Kuroha was seated on a chair in a hospital waiting room as he read a book. The book was about, humans biology. He recently began to read this book because he wanted to better understand the human body and its limits.
Since the advent of the quirk, many different kinds of "human" seemed to appear, but internally, the essentials stayed the same. No matter if you have four arms, the face of a crow, or looked like an alien, the biology was still primarily that of a human.
Well, there some exceptions, like heroin thirteen whose biology is still a mystery to this day. Still, since she was birthed by a human, logic dictates that she is at least something close to a human. Her power was really scary.
Today though, he couldn't put his full concentration while reading. He was fidgeting nervously and even his books wasn't held in the right way. Why was he so nervous? There are two reasons.
The first one being that he really hated being in a hospital. It made him remember the laboratory. When he came here a month ago with Nighteye, he nearly attacked a doctor who comes to guide them.
Even now, he would keep a certain distance between him and any doctor around. They were weak. He could kill them with just a drop of his blood, but fear and trauma didn't care about how strong the source of the fear was in reality. It was an irrational but very real fear
Humans could fear harmless bugs, even though they could kill it with a slap. The same problem was present here.
The second one was today he would finally see All Might. Since that day, he has been hospitalized and received many operations. Now, they could give him a visit.
Nighteye wasn't present right now. He was in a meeting with some heroes who were close to All Might in order to discuss what to do in the future. Most likely, All Might would have to resign as a hero. They had to prepare for what to do.
A few minutes of waiting later, a young nurse came to him and asked to follow her.
Since he basically came here every two days, they already knew who he was and why he was here.
He followed her as they walked further into the hospital before entering a room whose door was closed by an electric lock that required three passwords.
Once she put them, they entered a long corridor before finally reaching the room where All Might was.
This level of security was understandable. All Might right now was too weak. Who knows how many villains would flock if they even caught a whiff of his current self. They would come like sharks smelling blood.

Once in front of the door, who was also locked, the nurse put the code before bowing toward Kuroha.
"Please, the visit hours are normally from 9 a.m to 8 p.m. Still, this time, you cannot stay long and must leave without tiring him too much. The ideal is no more than two hours."
Kuroha nodded, he understood the situation. The nurse, seeing this simply turned her heels back and went back to where she came from.
Kuroha, now standing alone in front of the door, took a deep breath before slowly opening the door.
There, in the white room, All Might was seated in a hôpital gown with all his muscles and looked at Kuroha with his usual large smile.
"I AM... AS HEALTHY AS NORMAL PERSON!!! AH AH AH"
Kuroha nearly fell on the floor. Why was he so worried? He let a sigh of relief before seating in front All Might.
"I am glad that you're are alright. It seems like the operation was a success"
"Of course, those doctors did a really good job", said All Might with a smile as he gave a thumbs up.
"Yes, I see that. It's really a miracle. From what I understood, so many surgical operations must have really taken too much out of you. It's a miracle for you to still be able to laugh like that."
"AH AH AH AH !! Don't flatter me. YOU'LL MAKE ME BLUSH AH! AH! AH!"
Afterward, the discussion between them was rather light-hearted. Kuroha wasn't an expert at making the mood more lively, but All Might was good enough on his own.
Even though there were many questions that burned his tongue, he held back in the end, now wasn't the time to ask this.
Exactly two hours later, a knock on the door informed Kuroha that the time was up. He gave a last bow to All Might before going out.
All this while, All Might was just laughing and smiling, but just minutes after Kuroha left,
COUGH!!! COUGH!!
He vomited a large amount of blood before slowly losing his muscular mass until all was left was an emaciated old man.
He sadly looked at the doors before looking at his frail arms and mumbling,
"I am sorry to I have lied to you little Kuroha, I didn't want to let you see me like that."
---
After leaving All Might chamber and going back to the normal part of the hospital, Kuroha didn't directly go back to his home.
Firstly, he went to a shop in order to buy some flowers. At the front of the shop stood a beautiful but old woman who was sweeping the floor. She had a kind smile as she looked at Kuroha.

"Little boy, how are you? Here again for the same kind of flower?"
Kuroha wasn't really sociable, but he knew respect. This woman was kind to him so he would be kind to her. What more, it truly wasn't the first time he came here. As such he simply smiled and said
"Yes, auntie. The same as usual."
The old woman smiled even more brightly before taking some flowers and gave it to him.
It was a peony bouquet. In the flower language, they were used to wish for a good recovery. He paid for them and thanked the old woman before going back to the hospital.
This time though, he didn't follow the special section reserved for All Might but took another road. It was also a VIP section, but it was for less secured.
As he walked, the nurse affected to this section would smile at him or wave their hands at him while he would do the same. Even though he didn't trust them, he couldn't appear rude either.
After a while, he finally stood in front of a door. He looked at it with a little emotion. The one behind this door became someone he longed to see.
He meets her by pure mistake. The first time he came here, he was walking around as he let different marks here and there. It's a habit he developed, and he would always put many marks in a new environment. You never knew what would happen. It was while doing that, that he meets her. Finally, he knocked on the door and waited
"You can enter."
A soft but frail voice answered him since he obtained permission, he opened the door.
What greeted him was a gentle woman with white hair as white as his who was looking at him with a gentle smile while seated on a stool and holding a book. She opened her mouth and said,
"Is it you Kuroha? Thanks for coming to visit me once again."
Kuroha smiled sincerely and said,
"Don't worry, it's a pleasure for me... Ms. Todoroki."
With that, he closed the door.
----
The same night, someone else opened the door to the room of All Might. It was Mirai Sasaki, also know as Sir Nighteye.
"AH AH AH !!! NIGHTEYE, YOU ALSO COME?"
Nighteye looked at All Might before seating on the same stool Kuroha used this morning. Once he took his place, he said calmly, with a little sorrow on his face.
"You don't have to do that All Might. I know your current state."
All Might stopped smiling for an instant before sighing and taking his weaker form. Seeing him like that was almost painful for Nighteye. He had to close his eyes for an instant in order to keep his calm.
"I asked Gran Torino to explain exactly what happened, but he only gave the big lines. Could I know exactly what happened?"
All Might took a deep breath before speaking.
He explained how they finally found All for One, how the fight between them went, how he lost control after All for One taunted him by speaking about the death of Shimura Nana. How he nearly killed All for One by nearly destroying his head and finally how he was wounded.
Anyone hearing this would think that it was a plot worthy of being made into a special episode. Fans would kill to see such a great fight. Sadly it cannot be done. It was reality, not a film. The wounded hero won't miraculously recover from all his wounds.
Nighteye couldn't help but worry in his heart. From what the doctors said, All Might as he was right now could only use his power for a short amount of time. Could he truly still work as a hero like that?
"All Might, what do you want to do?"
All Might didn't answer immediately. He might speak and laugh like a silly boy, but All Might was a true hardened warrior. He knew his body more than anyone else. Still, even though he knew the best answer for him, he answered,
"I want to keep working as a hero."
Hearing such an answer, Nighteye's did something he never liked to do and would regret doing for all his life.
He touched All Might and activated his [FORESIGHT], his quirk didn't just allow him to see a few minutes in the future. He could see the future and the past of anything he touched, be it human or objects.
What he saw this time as he read All Might future was like a violent kick to his balls that shattered all hope in him.
He would most likely have a nightmare all his life because of it. He opened his mouth while shivering and said with tears gathering in his eyes.
"If you continue being a hero... You'll die."
The silence in the room was deafening...
(AN: So guys, before your perverted mind go too far. Todoroki's mother won't be part of the harem. In fact, I will not touch any woman who is already in a relationship.)

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
