Ch1 – Yoshiki Enokawa: Origin
Read ahead: /bloooog
A/N: This story is serious... ish. There will be a mix of plot and smut. But since this is a reincarnation story, it'll take a while to get to the smut, much to Yoshiki's dismay.
Also, manga spoilers for BNHA.

Reincarnation. What a bizarre twists of events.
He'd never been the luckiest guy, and his life story supported that notion. With no mother, and an abusive alcoholic for a father, it wasn't the greatest start. But then his dumbass of a father hit him too hard, then the school got involved, then social services got involved, and BOOM!
He was up for adoption.
And since he wasn't the prettiest kid, he was up for adoption for a while.
That being until he was an adult.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
He didn't necessarily hate his life, but it was pretty shit. That was why, when he stumbled upon a golden goose, a real chance for him to turn his life around... he took it. It turned out that the company he worked for was... dirty. Whether it was money laundering, drug smuggling, or even human trafficking, he didn't know. But he also didn't really care.
He saw how his bosses dressed, what they drove. They had way too much money for a local shipping company, especially with Amazon gutting the market. He hadn't even hinted at going to the cops with his info, just wanting a piece of the prize... but then he was dead.
He thought he saw someone reach for their waistband, but he couldn't remember clearly.
Not that it mattered now.
And as soon as he came to terms with that... he finds out that he's going to reincarnate. And not just reincarnate normally, either– he was going to a fantasy world of all places. It was the chance that an otaku would kill for, but really? This was what the afterlife offered?
Not Buddha, not God, not non-existence, but...
'...A bratty loli angel?'
Blue eyes, golden blonde hair, fair skin, and– that was all that he was willing to describe. He might've considered himself a man of culture... but she was far too young, and she was wearing far too little.
"You... you know I can here your thoughts, correct?" she replied coolly.
"I'm well aware," he replied.
She had laid his sins bare, pointing out how despite growing up in poverty... he didn't really turn his life around all that much, and died a shit person. Because of that, instead of three cheats and one world-applicable power, he was just getting the power. She had the gall to smirk at him, saying shit like "this'll teach you." Like, what a bitch.
"D-Don't call me that!" she cried.
He rolled his eyes. Fortunately, from what he could gather, everything was set in stone, and he couldn't acquire any more sins while he was dead. He literally couldn't do anything...
Well, besides speak his mind, that is.
"Tsk. You're going to a Boku No Hero Academia verse," she drawled. "Pick your power."
He blinked. He was going to the world of BNHA. He had stopped reading week to week, but he was pretty much up to date– last he remembered, Bakugo was fighting Baby For One. There was also the Vigilantes spin-off, and the movies... but he barely remembered jack shit when it came to either of those.
Well, there were definitely worse worlds to be shipped off to.
"Pick my power, huh?" he muttered. The loli wasn't listing options, so...
'Do I really get to choose anything for a Quirk?'
***
A local hero had seen the massive tent appear, and had swooped in to put a stop to the 'unlawful Quirk use.' However, after learning that it was just an illusion, Fumika had been let off the hook rather distastefully. The dirtbag had immediately started looking down on his mom, like she wasn't capable of breaking the law.
Little shit.
As for his dad's Quirk, Yoshiki didn't know. In his mind, it was just Glow... and while Fumika had mentioned the man had more 'energy' than normal, he hadn't pried.
No, Yoshiki had just been patiently waiting for his own Quirk to manifest. He knew that most Quirks arrived around the age of 4, so he had been in for the long haul. Since he had been a 'shit person,' he hadn't gotten 3 wishes, but his 'cheat' would be more than enough.
That was why in the middle of February, about a month before his 4th birthday, Yoshiki's normally stoic face broke into a wicked grin. He'd just been in the park, playing with Izumi and Katsumi, when all of the sudden... he felt it. A nearly indescribable euphoria. An abundance of energy, of power. Like he was on top of the world, like he was capable of anything and everything.
And in a sense, he really was, given enough time.
However, despite finally obtaining his cheat, his Quirk, worry gnawed at his heart. Living in the same neighborhood as Izumi and Katsumi, they all shared the same Quirk specialist.
Dr. Tsubasa, AKA Kyudai Garaki.
All For One's right hand man.
If Yoshiki revealed his Quirk, there was a chance– no... there wasn't a chance. Yoshiki was certain. If either of those monsters in human skin knew what he was capable of, he wouldn't even last a single day before he was dead or Quirkless.
Or worse, a Nomu.
He didn't want to do this, but at the same time, he didn't really have a choice.
'Give me a power that lets me hide my Quirk.'
In response to his thoughts, the warmth in his chest faded, nearly all of the Energy that he had just acquired being whisked away. Then he shuddered as he felt himself change, as he felt what would be the first of many, many sub-Quirks smoothly settle into his body.
Blank: Perfectly conceal the presence of Forge and/or any sub-Quirk of choice. Works on every person, machine, or Quirk. Will not hide Quirk usage or activation. *Toggle.
This was Yoshiki's cheat, or rather, his Quirk.
Forge.
He could craft and create his own powers, or sub-Quirks, using a unique internal Energy that his body slowly accumulates over time. Yoshiki could then spend this Energy of his to forge any power that he so desired. He'd be starting out rather weak, but with time, he could only increase in both strength and versatility.
In his opinion, Forge was better than both One For All and All For One.
However, with both OFA and AFO being the second and third Quirk ever, they've had over a century to reach their current heights. It would take Forge quite a while before it even reached the realm of those two.
But he could wait. Yoshiki could wait as long as he needed to.
Even if that meant pretending to be Quirkless.
'Well, just for a bit.'
