It was a cold night, well every night was cold in one way or the other. It was either the chill of the winter wind, or the chill of a dagger as it slipped its way into your chest…
The laughter of the villain that plunged it six inches deep, and the thump of your body as it fell to the floor.
But today, the chill was different. This time, it was even more terrifying.
Today was a day no one would have ever imagined happening, an impossibility to both heroes and villains.
Nejire Hado was soaring through the sky, observing the procession from a safe distance.
The teachers had all warned her to stay away from conflict, they, the Big Three of U.A., were asked to step aside for today… That was just how dangerous this man was and how poisonous his philosophy could be.
BOOOOOM!
An invisible shockwave cut through the area, unsettling Nejire who was still in the air. Dust billowed in all directions like a thick cloud and thousands of windows shattered.
The city had been turned into a war zone.
Net-like cracks filled the roads, buildings were on fire, and the earth was trembling just from the sheer amount of Quirks being used.
Heroes, villains, and even neutrals had all gathered to unleash hell, but not against themselves, they were here to take out a single man.
All Might flew out of the thicket, his body barely holding up as he ascended into the sky. His gaze darkened, locked on the ground below.
"How… How is this even possible? How can only he take on all our heroes and even the villains?!"
He drew his hand backward and the wind began to condense around him. His muscles tightened, now a sharp whistling sound filled the air.
Down below, the cloud of dust settled and Nejire finally got a proper glance at the man.
In the madness, he stood unfazed, taking everything the heroes had to offer and giving them more as payment.
'Just who is that guy?!'
An unregistered Quirk, an unknown face…
No one had ever seen how he looked, just his mask, an ornate domino mask made out of solid gold and obsidian.
But today, maybe today they would win.
"You can do it, All Might!" she screamed at the top of her voice.
And then All Might lunged, ripping through the air like a rocket, moving so fast that the wind howled like a leviathan, and the earth shook as though it was afraid to take his blow.
"UNITED STATES OF SMASHHHHHHH!"
BANG!
The earth caved, wind rushed past them like a tempest and several cars were blown away from the impact.
"Yes!"
Nejire flew down at max speed, a wide smile on her face.
'He got him!'
But just as she neared the scene of the crash, her breath caught in her throat, and her fingers began to tremble.
He was there…
Standing in a crater as though he had been hit by a two-year-old, the man stood and, worse of all—he had a smile on his face.
All Might was nowhere to be found, all around them countless villains and heroes were lying helpless.
'H-how is he still standing??'
She had to do something, Nejire had to save them.
"Do something, Nejire!" she screamed to herself, but her body would not move.
As the man dusted his clothes and slowly… he turned to face her, those red eyes piercing into her soul.
His laughter came a second later, his voice sounding youthful but strangely pleasant. He took a step forward and then another step.
He was walking towards her and still she could not move, the fear had locked her feet in place.
"Now now… what do we have here? Nejire?"
'How does he know my name?'
He lifted his head slightly as though he was sniffing the air. "Wow, how exquisite."
The strange man pushed her hair behind her ears and smiled. "Don't worry, this is only going to sting a little bit."
He opened his mouth, revealing fangs no human should have, and his hands gripped her with a strength greater than she had ever felt.
His red eyes seemed to glow even brighter as he inched closer, each second bringing her to her unfortunate end.

"Red eyes?"
Kyle stood in front of his bathroom mirror, a shocked look on his face. Right in front of him
it was a face he could not remember, tousled black hair, wary red eyes and a lean figure.
"Where am I? And how the hell did I get here?!"
Panic began to slowly creep into his heart, little by little it threatened the bed to consume him.
It was like being stuck inside a foreign vessel.
"Calm down, Kyle, think. What happened?"
His memories came in flashes, glowing red lights, a speeding car, bang! And a body in the air.
"Oh, I died."
Run over by a police car, how ironic. The police were too busy playing hero to focus on the road and now they had cost him his life.
"Did I reincarnate?"
Kyle glanced at the room. It was strangely tidy, too tidy. It was as though no one had used the room in ages, there were dust mites everywhere, the desk was neatly organized and the light was off.
"Wait, off? How can I see?"
A chill went down his spine the moment he realized this, to him the room was as clear as day, yet from the glow of the moon outside his window, Kyle could tell that it was night.
That was when a light, serene ring cut through the empty room, reverberating over the walls.

"W-what is this??"
Darkness suddenly clouded Kyle's vision and then dark colors swirled before his face. Before he knew it, he had stumbled to the floor, his breaths shaky and sweat dripping down his face.
His heart… it was beating way too fast.
