Author's Note: After a long time, my cousin visited me from Italian, in our meeting we remembered the old times when we punched each other for the stupidest reasons and watched Yu Gi Ho Zexal every Saturday.
Then, we talked about Anime, it seems that being nerds is something genetic in the family.
This is demonstrated by the fact that our younger brothers also participated in the discussion.
Anyway, our chat involved My Hero Academy and Fate-verse, inspiring me to do this story.

POV Narrator
There was a dark empty space, nothing could be seen in either direction, however, there was one person in this void, one person who had a tan colored coat, black boots, and a book in his left arm.
The person holding the book is a young man in his early twenties, wearing a faded gray jacket with off-white cuffs, silver buttons, black trousers and strappy leather boots, and a red scarf.
He also wears a hood, which is part of the tunic, with which he covers his face as well as his hair, but his mouth and nose are visible, albeit barely.
He smiled before removing the hood, revealing his black hair slicked back and gray eyes.
The gray-clad Prophet looks towards an invisible audience that only he is able to perceive and interact with.
"Greetings, dear readers, I am Woz, the scribe and chronicler of the greatest Demon King who ever lived." declares Woz, proud of his position and the master he serves.
" So far I have told you the right story of my glorious king. But today I want to delve into the possible alternative paths of my Waga Maou." Woz declares, in a tone full of curiosity, opening the book, preparing to tell a new story.
"Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path.
It's a prism of endless possibilities, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know.
I am your guide through these vast new realities.
Follow me, and ponder the question...
What if… a bottle never fell?
What if… Izuku Midoriya missed his chance to become the Peace Sign hit?
What if… Zelretch sent Chaldea to the Pro-Hero World?
What if… Izuku Midoriya was taken under the wing of the King in Black of Chaldea? Woz asks, revealing the contents of his book to an unseen audience.
The pages showing a drawing of a boy with messy green hair grabbing the hand of a person surrounded by Heroic Spirits.

POV Izuku Midoriya
People… not everyone is born equal.
It's something I realized at the age of 4.
And it was then that my first and greatest discouragement was born.
Maybe I forgot to mention, but…
This is my story.
A long, strange and complicated story ...
The story of my adventure to become the best hero of this world.
Furthermore, it is the story of how I became the disciple of the Last Master of Chaldea and one of the protectors of the Multiverse.
For better or for worse, it all started when my ex-idol, All Might, destroyed my dream.
Allowing the most amazing man and woman I've ever known, Bruce and Mash, to pick up the pieces and build something better.

POV Narrator
In Japan, somewhere in Shizuoka Prefecture, there is the city of Musutafu.
On the roof of a common building sits a boy named Izuku Midoriya, despicably nicknamed as Deku.
Izuku is a 14-year-old boy, standing 166 centimeters tall, his round face framed by a short mass of soft dark green hair that curls at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows upon himself.
His eyes are large, their irises the same shade of green as his hair.
She has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek.
Izuku wears a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons, accompanied by his signature bright red high boots, which have thick white soles and black laces.
At the moment, Izuku is not well at all.
Not long ago, his idol, Japan's number one Pro-Hero, All Might, clearly told him that he can't become a hero, being devoid of Quirks, i.e. super-powers.
Izuku is a Quirkless, one of the unfortunate 20% of the population who were born without powers.
If it wasn't bad enough being an ordinary guy in a society full of super-humans, Izuku always wanted to be a Pro-Hero. This wish has made his life more difficult than it should have been.
Izuku stands by the roof's safety rail, dropped to his knees, tears in his eyes and staring down.
The green-haired boy gives off the vibe of a broken person.
'Dreaming is good, but try to keep your feet on the ground, kid.'
All Might's words play in Izuku's head, over and over, like an old videotape stuck on a loop.
Time slowly passed, but Izuku stands still like a broken puppet, oblivious to the world around him.

Nearby, a figure dressed in white has noticed the depressed presence of Izuku Midoriya.
The figure lifts a finger and draws a small circle of light in mid-air, whereupon a strange object has appeared.
The object appears to be an ordinary roll of paper, with a very thin screen and two rods at the top and bottom, resembling the rolled up top and bottom of a roll of paper. The frame is purple and the back is white.
On the scroll appeared the equivalent of a screen and a digital keyboard, showing a Chat page.
The figure made a slight hand gesture, then a written text appeared which was immediately sent.
[Shielder, I'll be a little late for our meeting. Nothing serious happened. But I may have found a delicate case with a minor.]
The figure in white made the scroll disappear the same way it made it appear.
'I hope it's something minor, like a slight depression from a breakup with his girlfriend or something like that.' She thinks the white figure, before walking in the direction of the green-haired boy.
XXX
Back on the roof, Izuku stood moping, even when someone landed not far from his position.
'The little boy is so deep in thought that he didn't hear my landing, not a good sign.' He thinks the white figure, walking slowly towards Izuku.
"Green boy, are you okay!?" He asks the white figure, speaking for the first time since his appearance, proving to have an androgynous voice.
This voice broke Midoriya's concentration on All Might's harsh words.
" Who is there ?" Izuku asks, turning to see who else is on the roof.
The person in front of the green-haired boy is 171 centimeters tall, with a thin and slender build, making it difficult to establish whether he is a man or a woman.
She wears an outfit heavily inspired by fantasy literature, finely designed to look like some kind of warlock or witch.
Knee-length black boots, gray pants, with different buckles on top to hold different items.
Around the waist are two snakeskin belts positioned to form an X, on the left side of the belts are several amulets and charms attached to the belt by thin chains.
He also wears a white sweater that covers his neck with a black harness over it to hold two empty holsters.
On her hands she wears tight black gloves with silver rings on each finger, around her wrists are silver bracelets
On the shoulders hangs a large white cloak with a hood that seems to be made to resemble the feathers of a bird.
Her face is youthful, making it hard to tell if she's 18 or 20.
The heart-shaped face, the delicate and sweet features of the face, give it an androgynous or absolutely feminine look in the right light.
Her lavender hair is long and tied in a braid that falls to her shoulders, with thick bangs hiding her left eye.
His right eye is exposed, displaying a glowing golden owl's eye.
His ears are long and pointed as if he were some kind of half-elf.
"Finally, you noticed my presence, it was close and I was about to consider hitting you on the head with my cane." Said the white figure, in a playful voice, as she crossed her arms.
"What Stick!?" Izuku exclaims, slightly worried about getting hit on the head by a blunt weapon.
"This stick." Said the young man with the pointy ears, reaching forward.
Slowly, fluorescent purple circuit-like symbols appeared on the person's arms.
Then, a violet-white light appears in the hand of the person with pointed ears, taking the shape of a stick.
The staff is actually a magnificent scepter of black metal, two meters long.
The base of the staff is covered in gold metal, as if it were the point of a spear.
A metallic-looking snake is coiled around the staff.
On top of the stick is a decorative piece of metal made of gold in the shape of a U, precisely it is the Omega symbol upside down.
For an unknown reason, in the center of the gold decoration sits a small black cube that glows as tiny lights appear and disappear in its inky depths.
At the sight of the slightly futuristic scepter, Midoriya's nerdy brain activated.
All Might's harsh words aside, Izuku's mind was solely focused on internal research through his knowledge of the Pro-Hero.
" Elf ears, owl eyes, long lilac hair, androgynous appearance, archmage outfit and a one of a kind staff." Izuku mumbles low, listing the distinctive characteristics of this individual.
"You are Saver, the nomadic hero!" He exclaims the green-haired boy, in a fanboy voice, reverting to his normal demeanor.
"I'm surprised you know me, I just arrived in Japan, I thought I was not popular in this country." Saver said, keeping a stoic face as he touched his chin.
"I'm a fan of heroes, so I also pay attention to heroes from other nations, especially great heroes who work across multiple nations to address major crises." Midoriya confesses out loud, sounding like a completely different person than before.
The depressed boy who appears to be ready for an emotional breakdown. He now he acts like a fanboy who ate too much sugar.
"Aren't you exaggerating the title of great hero? I just helped solve a variety of problems during my trip around the world." Saver said, tilting his head slightly, not seeming to know the same fame as him.
"According to international news reports, during your debut three months ago, your actions saved a city and thousands of people from being swept away by a tsunami." Declares Midoriya, remembering very well the internet amazement of Saver's debut.
"I just froze a giant wave, while Shielder created a barrier to protect the city from the worst of the wave. It was nothing special." Saver said, in a disinterested voice, acting as if he'd done nothing of note.
Midoriya prepares to ask another question regarding the nomadic hero's career.
But, Saver slams his staff against the ground causing a web of cracks to appear.
Midoriya's mouth instinctively closes, not wanting to disturb the international hero.
"I didn't come here to do an interview. I'm here to find out why you, a little boy sits atop the roof of a building all alone and looking depressed." Saver said, in a stern but not mean voice, pointing his scepter in Midoriya's direction.
Midoriya's happy energy began to fade, All Might's words came back to haunt him.
Saver noticed the change in the green-haired boy's aura.
'Clearly, I am faced with a delicate situation. I'm not good at this kind of situation, I much prefer problems that can be solved by violence or the use of intelligence.' Thinks Saver, wishing he was in the company of someone more capable of handling sensitive cases.
"Were you thinking of jumping off the roof?" asks Bruce, starting with one of the more horrific options.
Midoriya's face grimaced as her body shuddered.
"No! I'm sad, but not to the point of making such an extreme gesture." Declares Midoriya, shaking her head, not even thinking for a second about this option.
Saver let out a small sigh of relief, appreciating not having to deal with such a bad scenario.
"So, parenting problems? If it's domestic violence or abuse or neglect, I know people who can help you." He proposes Saver, while internally he hopes not to have to involve social services.
Izuku made an even worse face than before.
"Good heavens no! My mother is practically a saint for keeping me around." She exclaims the green-haired boy, ready to make a long speech about how kind-hearted his mother is.
' He's telling the truth. Well, that means I won't have to waste weeks finding a child therapist and/or collecting evidence of abuse.' Think Saver, knowing such cases can't be solved in one day by punching and kicking.
"Problems at school?" Saver question, listing a more common and realistic option.
The green-haired boy looks down, clearly there's a problem or two at school for him.
" Nothing serious, just some classmates make some bad jokes." Midoriya replies, with a sad voice, but not as depressed as before.
' Even if I weren't the greatest detective in the world I could understand that he is lying or that by minimizing the problem. But I don't think his classmates are responsible for such a depressing aura.' Think Saver, wanting nothing more to do with educational establishments and the conspiracy going on inside them.
If you haven't figured it out already, Saver didn't attend regular school and his time in schools often was more like Harry Potter's school life.
"Did your girlfriend cheat on you with your best friend or a girl who laughed at you when you confessed your feelings? Everyone understands stuff like that." Saver said, starting to treat the situation as a false alarm.
This question provoked a new reaction in Izuku, his face turned completely red.
"Me...and...girls...don't..." The green-haired boy stammers Incomprehensible words.
Saver shakes his head slightly, feeling like he's 15 again and dealing again with his "friend" Amelia, who was having a lot of personal and social problems.
"Green boy, you are a person who wears his heart on his sleeve. First you are depressed, then you are protective, now you are shy." Saver mutters, easily noticing that Izuku seems to be swinging from one hemisphere to the other.
" Excuse me." Izuku mutters, feeling like he's done something wrong.
"Instead of meaningless excuses, you can tell me what your problem is so I can help you." Bruce said, not wanting to spend all day guessing the cause of Izuku's depressed aura.
"Surely you are a busy person who has something better to do than listen to me." Izuku said, not wanting to waste a great hero's time with his little problems.
"Lucky or unlucky for you, I was about to finish my afternoon patrol. I'm available until sunset." Saver said, approaching Izuku.
" It's a long story." Izuku said, trying once again to dissuade Saver from wasting his time.
"I like long stories." Saver said, taking another step towards Izuku.
" I like even more listening to long stories at the table, good food and a good story make a good match." Saver said, before grabbing Izuku, holding him under his left arm, like he was a sack of potatoes.
"I'd much rather walk." Izuku said, slightly embarrassed to be carried like that. Thank goodness he wasn't brought in bridal style, or else he would have died of shame.
"Walking is boring, better is to throw yourself from the roofs." Saver said, as he walks to the edge of the building.
On Saver's legs the purple fluorescent circuit-like symbols began to appear.
"Couldn't we use the stairs?" Midoriya asks, starting to get nervous at the idea of jumping off the top floor of a condominium building.
"It's faster to jump off a building than to use stairs." Saver declares, as if it were one of the inviolable laws of physics.
The white-clad hero took a small leap and ended up standing over the railing.
"We are very high." Izuku mutters, his voice shaking, looking down at how small people are from this perspective.
"If you get your pants dirty or throw up on me, I'll throw you right in a lake or a trash can." Saver declares, lightly, as if it were a perfectly normal thing.
The same glowing symbols as before have also appeared above Saver's chest.
"Are you joking?" Izuku asks, hoping it was a joke to lighten the mood.
"No. I've already done it dozens of times with my adopted little brother and a hundred times with my future sister-in-law's adopted brother." Saver said, in a slightly happy tone, a faint smile on her lips as his golden eyes turned amethyst.
Hearing these words, the green-haired boy covers his mouth and crosses his legs
"Let's see if I can make it to the teahouse in less than a minute." Saver said, speaking to no one in particular.
After these words, Saver leapt off the roof at the speed of a sports car while carrying Izuku.
"haaaaaaaaa!" Midoriya wasted no time screaming like a child riding a roller-coaster for the first time.
XXX
For a moment, Saver and Izuku seem to soar into the sky, as if they were a plane taking off.
Unfortunately, a superhuman leap is only a very long leap, eventually the laws of physics kick in, sending Saver and his human baggage plummeting.
" The sensation of free fall is wonderful !" Saver exclaims, with a joyful smile, as he is tumbling straight into the street.
"Why don't you fly, according to your fanclub you should be able to fly using your stick!?" Midoriya asks, wanting to know why Saver doesn't decide to fly.
" Simple, I don't like flying. I much prefer to fall, run as fast as the wind or sink into the earth or sail on wild waters." Saver said, listing some of his favorite methods of transportation.
"Before, I was about to drown by a villain. Now I'm going to die from a fatal fall!" Izuku exclaims, slightly losing his mind in fear.
"No spoilers!" Saver exclaims, in a serious voice, before kicking the air with his left leg.
Using this technique, Saver and his human baggage shifted their trajectory, going straight towards a building.
" What did you do!" Midoriya asks, going into analysis nerd mode, wanting to gather information about Saver.
The nomadic hero in just three months of service has become particularly popular, especially among girls and fans of the fantasy genre.
But he is also a person who stays away from the spotlight as much as possible, almost never leaving interviews and talking even less about his Quirk.
" Simple, this technique is based on the principle of kicking the air with great power and speed, releasing energy into the air to remain suspended in the air or change direction of fall." Saver explains, in a calm voice, seeming to like to explain things.
The nomad hero changes the position of his body in order to allow his feet to touch the wall of the building.
Then, Saver runs horizontally up the wall of the building so fast that he doesn't fall victim to gravity or has a way of ignoring it.
'It's almost there and I won't be able to distinguish the difference between down and up.' Midoriya thinks, starting to feel dizzy from the three-dimensional movements.
The green-haired boy is not in the least used to sudden and fast movements that defy the laws of physics.
"The warm-up has lasted long enough, it's time to step up the pace." Saver said, as the symbols on his body glow brighter, releasing occasional black lightning.
In an instant, Saver went from the speed of a sports car to the speed of a battle plane.
"haaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Shouts Midoriya, holding on to Saver tightly, not wanting to fall during such a run.

A teahouse is an establishment which primarily serves tea and other light refreshments.
A tea room may be a room set aside in a hotel, especially for serving afternoon tea, or may be an establishment that only serves cream teas.
In an elegant Western-style room, seated at a table for a small group of people is a very beautiful young woman.
The woman appears to be 18 years old, 158cm tall, with short lilac hair, lavender eyes and pale skin.
Her figure is quite athletic and her bosom has sparked comments from many men and women about her physique and has also earned her the nickname 'Mashmallow'.
He wears rectangular-rimmed glasses, a gray hoodie over a black shirt over a white collared shirt, a red tie with the Chaldean insignia, a black skirt and tights, and brown shoes.
This young woman is Mash Kyrielight, known in this world as Shielder, Saver's Sidekick.
"I wonder what Senpai is doing right now?" Mash murmurs, watching as her cup of tea gets cold.
The lilac-haired beauty pulls her scroll out of the pockets of her sweatshirt, waiting to receive a message at any moment.
"Senpai, what's the point of a vacation in a peaceful world if we're not together?" Mash murmurs, with a slightly sad voice, wanting to spend every moment with her dear Senpai.
"Lord Zelretch, why couldn't you offer us a vacation on a tropical island or a paradise world devoid of intelligent life?" Mash asks, wishing he could impose demands on Zelretch's proposal.

Four months ago, Chaldea put a stop to the Alien-God's plans, returning their world, Earth-2126, to normal or what is considered normal for them.
Then, when the Last Master of Chaldea, Bruce Belmont, legally turned 20, there was a big birthday party.
Luckily or badly, a surprise guest, Zelretch, appeared at the party.
The Wizard Marshal, Master of Second True Magic, somehow discovered that the Last Master of Chaldea was planning to take a sabbatical and travel across the multiverse.
Zelretch on a whim decided to come to the party uninvited and make a proposal that can be considered a gift to all of Chaldea or a personal challenge to Bruce.
Using his Second True Magic, Zelretch would transport all of Chaldea to a "Peaceful" World similar to their original world.
In this world, the time stream runs 12 times faster than their original world's stream, the whole of Chaldea could sit around unwinding for an entire year, and in their original world only one month would pass.
After the events related to Goetia, Knull and the God-Alien, all members of Chaldea were very happy with the idea of taking a break.
Bruce being a workaholic, paranoid and distrustful of Zelretch was about to refuse the vacation proposal, preferring to let the wind decide where he should go.
But Zelretch knew how to convince the Last Master of Chaldea to accept the idea of a vacation in another world, he proposed a challenge: Find the origin of the Quirks.
Had he done so, he would have received Zelretch's personal journal detailing the creation of his celebrated Jeweled Sword and other invaluable designs.
Such an award awakened the sorcerer and knowledge-hungry side of the Last Master of Chaldea.
Once they shook hands and signed a contract, Zelretch transported Chaldea to the Pro-Hero World.
Not even two hours after Chaldea's arrival in a new world, Bruce has gathered all the intelligent people of Chaldea in a hangar, starting a huge project to allow Servants to roam in this world without the constant and close presence of a Master, all to collect resources and information on Quirks.
The Last Master of Chaldea can be described in many ways, but he is definitely not someone who doesn't strive to achieve his goals.
XXX
"Senpai, where are you?" Mash asks, speaking as if he's a certain dog famous for solving mysteries.
In a second the whole teahouse started shaking slightly.
Most people would have worried about this vibration and prepared for a possible earthquake.
But, Mash begins to smile, the more violent the trembling becomes, the bigger the smile of the lilac-haired girl becomes.
"Senpai is sometimes unnoticeable like a ghost, other times it's a tornado and an earthquake in motion." Mash said, taking a cup of tea in his hands, waiting for his Senpai to enter the room at any moment.
Suddenly, the teahouse door swung open, a gust of wind and a trail of fluorescent purple with some green rushing into the room.
"Welcome Senpai, how was your patrol?" Mash asks, cheerfully, acting like a wife welcoming her husband back from work.
"It was boring as usual, except for the last few minutes when something unusual happened." Saver said in a bored voice. Clearly, the criminals of this world cannot be compared to the criminals of Earth-2126.
Mash prepares to invite his Senpai to sit down at the table and tell in detail about his whole day.
Unfortunately, the lilac-haired young woman has noticed something that shouldn't have been in the teahouse.
"Senpai, why is there a little boy kissing the floor?" Mash asks, looking down at the floor.
Mash isn't kidding, on the floor of the teahouse Midoriya is staring at the ground as if it's the most sacred thing in the world.
"Green boy is someone with a long story to tell me." Saver explains in a few words, not feeling the need to tell the details of his meeting with Izuku.
"What is your name ?" Mash asks, looking in the direction of the boy whose name she doesn't know.
"Izuku Midoriya." Izuku mutters, getting up slightly from the floor, still unable to feel his legs.
Mash got up from her chair, walking towards her Senpai and the green haired boy.
"Hey, do you want to join the table with two heroes and tell us your long story?" Mash asks, extending his right hand towards Midoriya.
"Is it really good that I sit down with you?" Izuku asks, feeling out of place, like he doesn't have to be around two international Pro-Heroes.
"Hurry up and get up and sit down with us, the tea is getting cold." Saver said, extending his left hand towards the green-haired boy.
