Can You Survive - Chapter 1 ..where Is This?
It was in the early hours of the morning, light was shining through the trees that littered the forest. Animals were just waking up to start their daily search for vegetation, while others were starting their search for other animals.
Yet if one were to look closely more towards the forest bed, they would see an enchanting sight. What lay there was an enchanting young boy that looked to be between ten too twelve years of age. The light was shining on the boy as if to proclaim him as the child if heavens, bathing him in it’s splendor by shining upon him.
The boy seemed to have bright blonde hair like that of the sun, with a face that could make even the legendary Greek sirens wish to sing for him just to catch his attention(I’m really only using a description like this because I am actually bad at describing people,so I’ll use some cop out metaphors from time to time.You could just search up Kid Gil in Google to see how he looks for now).
The enchanting boy seemed to squint his already closed eyes, it would seem like he is going to be waking up. Opening his eyes, the boy seems to feel a mild headache so he sits up rather quickly wild holding his head, trying to catch his bearings.
The boy opens his eyes and looks around confused for a moment
Lucifer: “Where am I? What happened?”
It was then that the headache that pained Lucifer cleared away and he started to remember all that had transpired before him awaking in the forest.
Lucifer: “Wait!! I remember now, I met that God and he said I had passed.”
Lucifer finally now looks around, taking in his new world. He also takes the chance to observe his body and finds the fact that he is now in a child’s body.
Lucifer: “It would seem Mr.Ryu had decided to give me a younger Gilgameshs’ body. *sigh* Now I’m going to have to go through the troublesome and awkward phase of puberty all over again. Anyways, before anything I should find out what world I’m located in, as well as check out my status’.”
Lucifer calls upon the status board within his mind, and surprisingly a blue transparent screen pops up in front of him.

Lucifer looked at his stats and was amazed, or rather he was he speechless. Three of his stats were already at the highest of levels, but his skills were what he was truly amazed at.
Lucifer: ” I didn’t only get the Intelligence of those three men, but I also got some of there skills!!! Mr.Ryu must’ve been feeling really generous to do that for me!!”
Lucifer looked as if her were crying out anime tears, yet somehow that still didn’t admonish his beauty. If anything it enhanced it. If a passerby were to see him now they would be entranced by him, and rooted in their spot.

[Elsewhere in a white room…]
Ryu: “I wonder if I made the kid too overpowered by giving him the skills of those three people he asked for….ahhh fu*k it, I don’t think he’ll make too much of a mess for me down there….Hopefully”
Oh, If Ryu knew what was going to happen in the future he most definitely would not have given Lucifer all those powers. Alas, that is a story for another time.
—————————————————————————————————————
[Back with Lucifer]
Lucifer: “Now that I got that out of the way, I guess I should find out where exactly I am…”
Lucifer picks up a stick from the ground and holds it on one end. He drops the stick with the pointed end landing in one direction,” I guess that’s the direction I’ll be going in”, he says. He starts walking, while getting used to and feeling up his new body.
He notes that while he feels like he’s somewhat stronger than a normal child he doesn’t feel all that different. He also observes that, while he does not have many muscles on his body, he does possess a lean frame, somewhat reminiscent of a track and field runner. He is also taller than other 10 year olds standing at a height of 150 cm.

Walking and running for about 3 hours, Lucifer is starting to get tired and hungry. He is starting to think that he might have to camp outside for the night, and continue his journey towards civilization the next day. Just as he thinks that he spots buildings through the lush forest.
Lucifer: “Yes I can see it now!!! Finally, civilization!! First things first though, find either a police station or an orphanage and tell them the story I came up with.”
While trying to find life, Lucifer had come up with a plausible story for when he inevitably met people. His story, as cliche as it was, was that he was an orphan that had fended for himself after being abandoned by his parents.
Lucifer walks around the town while observing the townsfolk. And to say he was surprised was an understatement. He saw people that had odd things like tails growing from their waste, people with abnormally long fingers, He even saw a person that had eyes like a flies. He was starting to think that he knew what world he was in, but he would still need more concrete evidence.
While observing the crowd Lucifer didn’t pay attention as to where he was going, and so he ended up in an unsavory part of town. Still walking it would seem like Lucifer made an accident and bumped into a passerby. Lucifer muttered a quick “Sorry sir” and kept going. However the person he had bumped into had grabbed his shoulder and turned Lucifer around.
[Cannon Fodder]: “OI GAKI! You think you can just say sorry and walk away!!Do you know who I am?!?!? I am *insert some beta male name and nickname here*!! If you think you can walk away with nothing more than a-
As the beta mal- *cough* *cough* I mean the passerby was talking, something amazing happened. Out of nowhere a giant man with golden hair, in the shape that reminds Lucifer somewhat of a certain 9 tailed orange fox’s ears, lands in between Lucifer and the passerby.
All Might: “Fear not young one for I, All Might, am here!!!”
[Cannon Fodder]: “Oh Sh*t!! I need too get out of here!!”
The beta male scurries away with his tail in between his legs, cursing his bad luck that All Might of all people had showed, while he tried too show off his awesomeness.
Lucifer looks at the man and gawks. It would seem that Mr.Ryu had sent Lucifer into the universe of My Hero Academia. Thinking of it in a logical sense, it wasn’t the worst that could’ve happened. It was a relatively safe world. At least there wasn’t a 2 meter tall purple man with a ballsack on his chin that would snap him out of existence.
Lucifer then proceeds to talk to All Might
Lucifer: “Thanks for saving me and all, but is it al right to let that person get away?”
All Might: ” ‘Tis alright law abiding citizen, for he did not cause much damage! It was also do well for him, who knows he might even change the course of his life after this. But I have an even better question for you young lad, why are you not in school right now? Or for that matter, where are your parents?”
Lucifer thinks for a moment, and decides to tell All Might the story he had come up with. Who knows, with Lucifer’s luck stat being EX, All Might just possibly aodpt him.
—————————————————————————————————————
Around an hour later we see young Lucifer standing with a crying All Might
All Might: “This cannot go on young Gilgamesh!! I can’t let a child such as yourself live on the streets! Please come stay with me!
(From this point on I’m going to be referring to the MC as Gilgamesh or maybe Gil for short, I don’t want to keep typing two names, nor do I think you all want to be confused reading two different names for the MC. At least until I choose his hero name. I might make it Lucifer, or just keep it to Gilgamesh. I might also incorporate legends from the real world here in MHA world. So stuff like King Arthur and Excalibur can make sense.)
Gilgamesh: “Are you sure All Might-san? I You don’t think I would be a bother would you?”
Gilgamesh asks this with a face, where All Might would feel like a kicked a sick puppy if he said yes.
All Might: “Of course not young Gilgamesh!! Please come and stay with me!! Though if you do, I am sorry to say, but as a hero, I won’t be able to be around the house much. And I also won’t be able to tell you my secret identity until I can completely trust you. If you can accept these conditions, then please come and stay with me!
Lucifer answers without hesitating: “Of course All Might-ossan!!”
All Might: “Then let us go home together young Gilgamesh. Onwards!!”
While walking the two engage in some small talk.
All Might: “Gil, I got a question for you. You don’t have too answer it if it makes you uncomfortable.”
Gilgamesh: “It’s alright, you can ask me anything since we’ll be living together from now on Ossan.”
All Might: “Okay then. I was just wondering how you got your name if you never knew your parents. Remember, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want too.”
Gilgamesh: “It’s okay Ossan, I don’t mind telling you at all. It’s pretty cool actually! I got the name ‘Gilgamesh’ from the ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’….”
Gil then proceeded to tell All Might the story of Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh: “And that’s pretty much why I chose this name. I aspire to be like Gilgamesh. To be a true King of Hero’s I guess…”
All Might had a gleam in his eyes. He was thinking that if this kid truly wanted to go down the road of being a hero, he might, just MIGHT give him the One for All quirk. He had been looking for an inheritor for a while now. He thought that instead of finding an inheritor, why not raise one?
All Might: “That’s a noble dream to have young Gil!! After thinking about it, I shall assist you in your dream to become a true hero in this world. What do you say young Gilgamesh?! Will you allow me to help you become a true hero in this world?!”
Gilgamesh was taken aback for a moment before replying to the man
Gilgamesh: “Of course Ossasn. Please help me become a King of Hero’s!!”
The two gripped each others forearms akin to that of brothers of war.
The sun soon disappeared from the horizon, leaving the world in darkness. The two then walked towards the home that will be remembered as housing the two strongest hero’s too ever walk the planet Earth.
