《The Underworlds Hero》Understanding Emotions
Advertisement
I start to wake up to my alarm going off to see it was time to get up. I start to shut it off remembering today was the entrance exams for UA. "Lets make sure those three get up now." I start to get out of bed to trip on something on the floor. "What the?" I look over to see Kendo rolling awake. "Mnn a simple nudge would work better you know." "Why are you in my room?" "Momo and Kyoka were going at it last night. I kinda didn't want to hear them doing it while I was asleep." "...So you came into a guys room to avoid the sound of sex." "We both know that were never gonna happen as you say." I had to admit with Kendo there. There was a time where we tried to, but we both agreed that trying to hook up with each other was just never gonna happen. She begins to get up with me pulling myself off the floor from my little fall for us to head to Momo's room.
Once we open the door, we're met by Momo and Jiro naked on top of each other with some hickeys on them. "Kendo, can you deal with this? This seems like a situation where I'll get slapped if I intervene." "I think I have to agree with you on this one." She walks in with shutting the door behind her. After a few seconds, I hear rustling in the room for it to open to the three some minutes later. "You three ready?" They nod with me walking to the stairs. The follow suit with Momo's parents greeting us at the door. "Kendo and Jiro. We wish you the best of luck in your exam today." "Just be aware, we will be rooting for you if that helps." "Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Yaoyorozu." They bow at them with both smiling at this act. We head out to catch a train and head to UA.
Once at the gates, were met with a similar trio we've come to know in our group. "Oi Ichan! What are you and Yaoyorozu doing here?" We look over to see Kaachan, Toga, and Uraraka walk over. Me and Uraraka immediately avoid eye contact with everyone noticing. "We came to cheer on Kendo and Jiro. We kinda also wanted to cheer you three on." He starts smirking at this with him holding his fist up to me. I hold mine up as we hit our knuckles together before he heads in. "Were gonna be late, lets go!" The three head in with Momo grabbing my arm before we could follow. "Just what is going on with you and Uraraka?" "I kinda wanna know too." "Same." 'Guess it can't be helped.' Ever since the park trip about 10 months ago, we've been hanging out more often with the unease between me and Uraraka very apparent.
"Back when we went to the park, me and Uraraka were alone in a group and found our way to the Ferris wheel near the end of the day. While in it, we kinda...made out a little." Their eyes widened at this before Jiro spoke up. "No way. Go Midoriya!" Kendo started fist pumping the air while making a 'green tea' chant for some reason. "It's not like that. The kiss meant nothing. At least, I think it didn't mean anything." "Why did you kiss her then?" Momo starts to join in at this point. "*sigh* I-I don't know. She came over and gave me a small kiss before it with me kinda liking it. I went for a deeper one for a few seconds before I pulled away." "Why?" "To make things simple, I don't want her to end up like my mom when I was 5." I walk in with me and Momo heading to the observation room after wishing Kendo and Jiro luck. 'Why do I feel like today is gonna be a pain in my ass.'

Once we entered into the auditorium, Jiro and Kendo came over to us to sit down. Bakugo started to smirk before speaking up. "So did you both know round face and Ichan sucked face on their first date." "Bakugo!" "Yeah, Midoriya said this before. I'm kinda impressed." "To be honest, I kinda thought he was asexual or gay since he turned down Itsuka here." My eyes widened a bit when she said this. "You both dated!?" "Not really. We just went on one and he wasn't in it. It wasn't me, it's just that he seemed to have no desire for relationships." I start to hear this with questions popping into my head. 'Why would he kiss me then? I know I didn't help with the whole 'me kissing him first' thing, but seriously.' "He's probably scared to love someone else." We all looked at Bakugo with Toga sitting in his lap. "When he was 5, his mom died because she had connections to his dad AFO. Few years later, his dad is put in a hospital with half his head bandaged and on a bunch of medical machines just to keep him alive.... I also heard that he may die from my mom in the next few months. If I know my friends mind, which I do. He's probably scared anyone he loves will end up like them and that thought is terrifying to him."
My eyes widen at this with Toga while Jiro and Kendo hold their heads down. 'Midoriya's dad is gonna die?' "If I was him, I may have lost it out of how much anger he holds for All Might." We all agreed with Present Mic heading into the room. 'There's gotta be a way to help him, or at least stay on his side. Wait, why am I this intent to help Midoriya!? It's not like I like him or anything.' I start to sigh to myself while I think on this. 'That's not it, right?'
Me and Momo enter the monitor room to be met by two familiar faces for me. "Izuku?" I smile at them wile walking in. "Nice to see you both again. Eraser, Sir Nighteye." "Why hello Mr. Midoriya. I am principal Nezu." A small rodent looking creature comes up to me to which me and Momo bow to him. "It's nice to meet you sir, and thank you for letting us watch today." "Hmph, why are there kids watching this anyway?" We glance over to the blood hero Vlad King who was holding a rather irritated look. "Have you ever heard of the underworld hero AFO Vlad?" "Rumors, but not as much." "To make things simple, Mr. Midoriya here is his son." Most pros look at me amazed. "I thought AFO was just some legend. A hero that has lived for over a hundred years? Sounds like some kind of sick fantasy to me." "I assure you Midnight that AFO is no fantasy. He actually built the very school we teach at." Everyone looks at Nezu now shocked as me and Momo sit down.
"Midoriya, I want to apologize for not being there for your father when he needed someone the most." Sir Nighteye starts to look down with his pain being understood. "If I was by his side, maybe I could've-" "It would've changed nothing. I looked up the fight myself and did research to find out the fight about 5 years ago had happened with no way you could change anything against that monster. Blaming you for the accident would be pointless." Silence filled the room with us watching the monitors. Mic had begun the exam with everyone rushing into the fake cities. We watched as our friends did what they could against robots with their quirks or weapons in Toga's case for quite the amount of them to rack up. 'This test seems a little bias against certain quirks.'

"Those 5 seem to be doing particularly well." "Indeed. Who are they?" "Katsuki Bakugo, Kyoka Jiro, Itsuka Kendo, Himiko Toga, and Ochako Uraraka." Everyone looks at me while I recite them off. "Their our friends we came to root for." Momo mentions this with them understanding before looking back. 'Seems the training paid off for them.' During our time together, I was able to mimic and give pointers to all of them to strengthen their skill in their quirks. I had Jiro train with piercing boulders regularly with her jacks, Kendo punch and shatter large rocks, Toga train with knives and shape shifting, Kaachan blow off explosions at high levels and maintain smaller precise ones, and have Uraraka hold heavy objects or herself in the air as long as she could before succumbing to nausea. I wanted everyone to pass for their sake, so I dedicated myself to understanding how all their quirks worked to help them understand themselves.
"Nezu, lets see how these kids handle the next step." "I could not agree more." Nezu starts pushing a red button for an explosion to be made. Out of the smoke, there was a massive robot with a '0' painted on it. 'This can't be good.' "Heellllp!" I look immediately at a screen to see Uraraka trapped under boulders with the robot behind her. 'They wouldn't let someone die in this, would they?' None of the teachers reacted as every student ran away. 'Common, someone do something for her!' Once Uraraka saw the robots foot, her face showed one of realization she may die. In that moment, I saw my mothers face with rage blinding me. 'Not again! NOT AGAIN!' In my rage, I activated the muscle augmentation quirk I had to jump through the window and right to the robot. 'Hi, I'm Ochako Uraraka.' 'Hope you like it. I'm not as good a cook as Yaoyorozu's chefs would probably be.' 'Your welcome.' 'What's wrong?' "Why does my life." I punch the robot with all my might with me shouting. "HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED!?"
Memories of Uraraka flood my head while the robot explodes from the impact with one thing in my mind. 'Do I like this girl or something?' I find my way to the ground and immediately pull the debris off her leg. "You ok?" She nods with me healing her leg. "It should be better, but don't overexert yourself." She smiles at me with her kind smile to show nothing but a shining light to me. "Thank you." I look away before silently answering. "Anytime." "Nicely done sonny. Your as heroic as your father is when I was as young of a whipper snapper like you." Recovery Girl walks over with everyone amazed at me. I turn around to see the robots head completely obliterated with the body rather mangled. 'I guess I went a little overboard.' "Hey Midoriya, could you...maybe stop holding me like this. It's a little embarrassing." I look down to see I'm practically holding Uraraka bridal style to immediately put her down and pull my hands away. 'I knew it. Today was gonna be a pain in my ass.'
Once the exam was over with me going back to the monitor room to apologize about the window, the seven of us began to head home. "So your coming out of the closet to your old man and lady today. Good luck with that you two." Kaachan starts laughing a little with Toga elbowing his gut. "Be nice Katsuki. I wish you both the best of luck in this." Yoga smiles at them with a smile before we head our separate ways. Before we do though, Uraraka grabs my arm to make me stop. I look over to her for a moment before she blurts out what she wanted to. "Thank you!" She immediately smacks her lips into mine before running away with all of us amazed what just happened. "*whistle* Dam Ichan, you got some game to get a girl most guys in our school fap to at night." "That was gross man." Everyone nods before we say our goodbyes and head our ways.
Once we get to Momo's home, her and Jiro start to get worried. They take a few deep breaths before heading inside. "Welcome back you two. How was the exam?" "I think we all passed. But mother, father, I have something I need to say to you both." Me and Kendo head up to the second floor with both of us staying behind a corner to hear the conversation. "You sure we'll hear?" I show that I was mimicking Momo's quirk by making a small speaker while making an antenna to catch the conversation. 'To think my training with mimicking their quirks works to this degree.' "Now we play the waiting game."
We listen to nothing but silence until Mr. Yaoyorozu starts. "So what did you wish to speak to us about Momo?" I began to make a mirror to see Momo hold a little bit of an uneasy face. "This..this is a little difficult to say to you both. But I promised to say this today, so please be mindful of this. Momo starts to hold Jiro's hand before speaking. For a while now, me and Jiro have been dating. And well, I enjoy her company in a more *ahem* personal way." They were listening calmly until Mrs. Yaoyorozu spoke. "Momo, can you please say what you wish. Not to be rude, but we would like you to say it yourself before we jump to conclusions." Momo hears this to take a deep breath in before saying what she needed to.
"Mom, dad, I'm gay and I'm in a relationship with Kyoka." A silence filled the air before Mr. Yaoyorozu came in front of Momo. She held her eyes shut preparing for a possible slap to the face to only have him wrap his arms around he head in a loving manner. "That must have been difficult to say. Thank you for telling us yourself instead of us finding out for ourselves." "You aren't mad?" Why would we Momo? Your father and I understand this wasn't something you had a choice in. We also respect Jiro as your friend and would love to have her as a possible daughter in law one day if things go that way." Momo started to cry while holding her parents in a hug. I felt a bit of happiness in me as this played out.
"A shame though we may never have grandchildren biologically related, but were happy you are happy Momo." Mr. Yaoyorozu smiles at the both before Momo spoke up. "I had actually asked Midoriya if there was any possible way for him to be a downer if the time comes and we do wish to have kids. But that would not be for a while if it does get to that point." I get anstrange look from Kendo before I answer. "When she asked, I had no intentions to have any relationship with anyone. With that in mind, why not give them the chance to have children when I may never." She answers with the four of them smiling with Jiro and Momo sharing a kiss. "I'm heading out." I start walking to my room to open the window. "If anyone asks, I'm going to see my mom." I lied to Kendo before heading out. I began to wander the streets without any aim while thinking of today. 'Do I like Uraraka?'
"*screams* I can't believe I kissed Midoriya!" I begin to scream into my pillow with my bold action playing in my head. "How can I do something so stupid!? He probably hates me now!" I keep rolling around in my bed before I fall off to look at the ceiling. "But I will admit, it felt nice." I began to feel my lips remembering the feel of his. "WHAT AM I DOING!?" I snap out of my daze to head but my pillow repeatedly. "He probably doesn't want to date me. He didn't even want to date Kendo, and she's cuter than me." I start to stand up to head into the kitchen to find something to drink. "I need to cool off a little." 'He doesn't like me, does he?'

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.

Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions.
