In a city shrouded in black smoke, the surroundings were in ruins. Atop a building, a pillar of white light descended from the sky. After the light dissipated, it revealed a young boy lying there. The boy appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin and a handsome face.
The boy slowly opened his eyes. The black smoke floated in the sky like clouds. He quickly sat up and checked his body, finding no discomfort. Then why was he here? Wasn't he supposed to be at a comic convention?
The boy's name was Yang Xiao. His name's meaning came from his parents, who hoped he would become a formidable figure like a "xiaoxiong" (a powerful and ambitious person) when he grew up, hence the name.
"What's going on?" Yang Xiao walked to the edge of the building. The streets and buildings he could see were mostly destroyed. Cries filled the entire area, making it seem like hell on earth.
It wasn't just this area; everywhere he looked was the same. In the distance, there were even intense explosions, but it didn't look like a war between nations.
Yang Xiao was inexplicably shocked. He felt a sense of unreality, like a dream. Why was he here? What was going on?
"The world you see now is five years in the future..."
Yang Xiao suddenly turned his head. An old man with white hair and a white beard stood beside him, as if he had been there all along. Yang Xiao immediately took a few steps back and asked, looking at the old man, "Who are you?"
The white-haired old man turned his head. His face was kind, and he felt as familiar and close as his own grandfather. "Don't ask who I am. I'm here to give you something."
"Something for me?" Yang Xiao frowned. He looked at the old man, unable to muster any wariness, as if he were a relative.
"Take it, live with its power, strive to become stronger, and then fight the other three people who are like you. Remember, you are in different factions. Stay vigilant at all times!" The white-haired old man extended his hand, and a ball of golden light flew out, landing in Yang Xiao's palm.
The golden light merged into Yang Xiao's right palm, and a faint golden dot pattern appeared. On the back of his hand, a golden circle imprint also appeared.
"What is this?" Yang Xiao looked at his palm and the back of his hand in shock, turning them over. This was completely beyond his expectations; it was truly miraculous.
The old man simply smiled kindly, and the next moment, he turned into white light particles and vanished into the air.
"Don't go, old man! You haven't even told me what this is for!" Yang Xiao tried to reach out for the white light particles, but they left nothing behind.
"BOOM!"
A loud explosion sounded. Yang Xiao suddenly turned his head. On a street very close to him, flames soared into the sky. A figure emerged from the flames, wearing a black cloak, tall in stature, with eyes like a hawk beneath his buzz cut.
Those hawk-like eyes suddenly looked at Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao's body shivered instantly, as if he had nowhere to hide under those eyes, as if all his secrets were seen through.
Terrifying, so terrifying!
This was Yang Xiao's first impression. He felt like he was going to be killed. Just then, a woman walked from the other end of the street. She had beautiful white hair cascading down her back, and even her pupils were silver-white. She wore a tight-fitting, gray and white jumpsuit and walked slowly.
The only feeling Yang Xiao got from this woman was coldness. Beneath her cold and elegant demeanor was a perfect face, worthy of being called an ice queen.
While Yang Xiao was stunned by her beauty, he abruptly noticed a man standing on the building directly in front of him. This man was about 1.75 meters tall, three centimeters taller than Yang Xiao was now. He had blue hair parted in the middle and wore a blue casual outfit. He just watched Yang Xiao quietly.
Just as Yang Xiao felt something was about to happen, the man and woman, along with another man, simultaneously looked at Yang Xiao. A smile appeared on the lips of all three, filled with unspoken meaning.
"WHOOSH!"
In that instant, the scenery around Yang Xiao seemed to rewind. The sky filled with black smoke gradually turned into a blue sky, and the surrounding buildings began to return to their original appearance, as if time were flowing backward.
The man and woman also disappeared. The surrounding scenery rapidly rewound like a fast-forwarded movie.
After an unknown amount of time, the scenery stopped rewinding. Yang Xiao felt as if he had experienced a long century.
When time stopped rewinding, Yang Xiao's head began to ache inexplicably. Pieces of information entered his mind. He, who had known nothing about this world before, suddenly understood everything.
He had become a transmigrator and entered the world of My Hero Academia. My Hero Academia was a passionate anime that told the story of a Quirkless boy who grew stronger step by step through his own efforts.
My Hero Academia was set in a superpowered society. Humans called these superpowers "Quirks," also known as "Quirk Users."
Quirk Users usually manifested their powers before the age of four. If they hadn't awakened one by then, they would likely be ordinary people, or perhaps have awakened a Quirk so useless that even they couldn't perceive it – the most pathetic of Quirks.
Yang Xiao now fully understood the cause and effect. The scene he had seen earlier was indeed five years in the future, the complete outbreak of the Dark Age. Those two men and one woman were also transmigrators like him. Their current strength was the same as his – all rookies.
Yang Xiao now understood how to activate his Quirk. With a thought, energy gathered in his right palm. The faint golden dot pattern on his palm emitted a soft glow. The next moment, Yang Xiao felt an inexplicable power spread throughout his body.
This golden dot was Yang Xiao's Quirk, called "Holy Light." The current Holy Light was merely the prototype of this Quirk. As his strength increased, the power of Holy Light would grow stronger, manifesting shields, armor, and energy weapons from within.
As the name suggests, Holy Light, the power of a saint!
The golden circle on the back of his hand was a system similar to information prompts, containing his personal information. Yang Xiao could view it at will.
[Yang Xiao: 15 years old, Birthday Aug 1, Height 172cm, Weight 55kg.] [Quirk: Holy Light (Power of a Saint), EXP LV1/0/100] [Holy Light: LV1-LV10, each level increase doubles the Holy Light's energy, and manifests energy weapons and armor, shields.] [Current Combat Power: Can shatter walls.]
This information system was quite good. Yang Xiao could know his basic information. As for whether the golden circle had other functions, he was unsure; for now, he could only access personal information.
In short, he had arrived in this world and obtained the "Holy Light" Quirk. Yang Xiao also knew that his mission was to contribute his part when the Dark Age arrived, while also guarding against the other three transmigrators!
