"Oh wow." I said when I saw them all.
"Y/n! I'm so glad you're ok!" Ura exclaimed.
I smiled.
"Thanks for checking up guys." I said.
"It must have been horrible." Jiro blurted out.
"Yeah..." I trailed off.
I still felt the heat prickling my skin.
"We just wanted to stop by and make sure you were ok!" Ura said.
I nodded.
"I'm doing a lot better thanks to you guys." I told them.
Most of them smiled. I looked around and saw a few faces missing.
"Where's Shoji and Mina?" I asked.
"They got injured when we were fighting. They both got stab wounds but they're doing good." Ura explained.
I nodded again.
"We should let her get some rest. Come on guys!" Ura started to head out.
Everyone followed her out except for one person.
"Sticking around?" I asked him.
"What did they do to you?" Todoroki asked.
I sighed. I had been expecting this question.
"Well...they kept me in a room, the one you took me from. You probably felt it, but they kept it really hot in there so I couldn't use my quirk. I didn't even realize that was one of my weaknesses. They offered me food but I never ate it since I thought there might be poison. I asked them why they had taken me, and I guess they wanted me to join them. Of course I said I wouldn't. I think they planned to keep me there until I agreed to help them." I found myself telling everything to him.
He stayed quiet for a few minutes.
"I'm glad we were able to find you. Who knows what they would've done if we hadn't gotten there sooner." He said.

I nodded.
"I hope I don't have to stay here for long. I want to get back to training so I can become strong enough to defend myself next time." I said.
He nodded.
"I'll let you rest now." He said as he walked to the door.
I suddenly felt myself not wanting him to leave. He did leave, though. The door closed behind him and I sighed.
After a little while I heard talking outside my door.
"She'll have to stay here for at least another week. Her body is weak from adapting back to normal temperatures. We've been slowly lowering the heat of the air around her, but it still seems like her body is having trouble adapting. I have no idea what those villains did to her, but it seems like it might have a lasting effect." Someone was saying.
I guessed that it was the doctor talking.
"Oh dear, I hope she'll be ok. Is she accepting visitors?" I heard my mother say.
"Yes, I think her class visited her earlier." The doctor responded.
I heard the door open. My mom rushed in.
"Oh honey! Are you ok?!" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I reassured her.
She tried to hug me as gently as possible.
"I'm so sorry this happened. I shouldn't have let you go out so late..." She trailed off.
"Mom, it's really not your fault. I couldn't fight back, but that just makes me want to get stronger. The next time I run into them, I'll be able to capture them and take them into custody." I said.
She smiled.
"Oh sweetie, I'm so proud that you're becoming a hero. You'll make the whole family proud." She said.
"I hope so."

Enigma's Multiverse: Rewrite
This novel was rewritten with the following goals in mind: -A 'human' MC, that struggles underneath the weight of his past emotions and slowly grows as a person as he deals with past trauma and regret. A relatable protagonist whose actions are in line with his motivations, who may be amiable or ruthless depending on the stakes presented. (Caucasian male protagonist, set in the modern world with alien 'induction' into the cultivation world.) - Competent antagonists that have their own goals and ambitions, instead of always targeting the MC for plot convenience. - An original cultivation system. - Interesting and well fleshed out enemy archetypes. - Hell mode challenge right off the bat. - Lots of action and fighting with psychological elements. - My vision of what a cultivation novel should be like. This is the rewrite of the original Enigma's Multiverse, the first version reads more like a skeleton or a first draft as it was my very first work and I've come a long way since then. A lot of things from the original will be tweaked/enhanced, so it might just end up as a completely different work. Cover Credits- Instagram @just_anime_art_things
