Chapter 2

*Drip

Hmmm? I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes, it was blurry at first but a little while later, I found myself in an abandoned church, I have tattered clothes that did not provide me warm, I look at my 'bed' which was the cold ground, but I care none of that, looking at the small hands that I had, I have become young again, probably 3 years old.

I clenched my fist, now that I have been reborn, Still, that fight I had with those trucks was thrilling, just remembering that fight gave a smile on my face.

After calming myself down, I turned and carefully looked around me. It was dark, and this place looked really ruined. I struggled to stand up as my body was very weak, extreme hunger, frail body, nothing I could use around, this is some bad start that I have.

But who am I to complain, the strong doesn't complain, the harder your start, the more challenging it will be, I started checking this run down church and there was nothing here, except from dust, destroyed furniture, nothing could be of use.

Another thing was I don't know where I am right now, I guess I have to step out. I walked towards the door and slowly opened it. The blinding sunlight immediately entered my vision so I used my hands to cover it and slowly let my eyes adjust to the brightness.

After a few moments, I slowly lowered my hands and saw he place where I was, I was actually expecting a beautiful city or scenery, but I guess Ruined city is a sight to see too, destroyed houses, burned houses, rubbles on the street, there are no signs of life, not even animals could be seen on this place.

"Where am I?"I muttered as I looked around. I could see that this place was destroyed not too long ago, it seems it's quite fresh.

*Growl

"Crap, I haven't felt this hunger for a long time," I said as I put my hands on my stomach, I guess looking for a drinkable water and look for food will be my task for now, I dragged my weak body looking around the city, it seems like the style of this city is not that advance like it was on my past life.

I entered some houses that were not destroyed and looked around their houses for something I could scavenge, I have already checked 3 houses and luckily I found 2 bottles of clean water and a can of cat food, It's much better than to die from hunger.

I first drank water, and then decided to eat, luckily it's an easy open can, I don't have the strength to open if it was not, I started feasting on the food, it was not my first time eating cat food as on my past life, in war we are forced to what we could find to survive.

After I finished eating, I somehow had the energy to continue scavenging around this city, it was pretty big, maybe I could find some knives or some weapons I could use for self-defense, I don't know what happened to this city but it seems like war just happened on this place, but I must look for other things first.

After a few hours of scavenging around, I found some decent clothes that would keep me warm, a pair of boots, first aid kits, a gun with 10 bullets in it, a knife, 20 cans of food, 10 bottle of water, a backpack, and a map, I also found a phone, but it was not working anymore, so I threw it away.

I actually found many things but I don't need to carry unnecessary things, for now I am looking at the map in front of me, and yes, "Isn't this japan?" I scratched the back of my head, and from the looks of it, I'm in a place called Fujiyoshi. I sighed, I'm from japan but the names of the cities had changed.

Anyways, the closest city to his place is called Masutafu, It's not that far, I could reach it in a day, with the city on my sight I started walking towards it, along the way, I could see the destruction on the city, but one thing I found strange when I was looking around.

I wasn't able to see any corpse nor anything, not even the signs of animals, well, I won't care about it anymore, it didn't take me long to reach the road and started walking towards the Masutafu city, when I was very far away from that ruined city, I heard something.

*Boom!

A mushroom bloomed from behind me, it was very big, 'Isn't that a nuclear bomb? Are they trying to erase it from existence!?' I immediately ran away as I saw that, nuclear bombs are no joke, the shock wave would reach him and blow him away, luckily he was able to run away and not be hit by it.

"Ha Ha Ha" I started panting, having a weak body is really holding me down, anyways, after walking for a half-day, I could finally see the city I was looking for, It took me another few hours to reach the borders of the city, and for some reason, tall walls were covering it.

"What is this? AOT?" I murmured, I looked around and saw the entrance towards the city, as I was walking forward, a man came in front of me, a man with dark hair who wore a high collared jacket.

"Hmm? What is it?" I asked as I looked at the man in front of me, he had been looking at me for a while now.

"Where did you come from?" the man asked.

"From there," I pointed towards the city that just exploded.

"Eh? You were able to leave that place?" he asked in a surprised tone.

"Well, luckily, I was already far away when it exploded," I said.

"Where is your family? What is your name?" he asked questions.

"I don't know my family, as for my name…" I went into deep thinking, I don't know my name in this world, well, I also haven't met my parents nor heard my name, I'll just use my past name, "Nikko Rejirou," I said to him.

"Hmm, I will try to search for your family, my name is Roku Akihiko, a hero," Roku introduced himself.

"Hero?" I tilted my head in question.

"You don't know about heroes?" Roku asked in surprise.

"No, I only know they are some kind of self-proclaimed justice maniacs" I said to him.

Roku felt a stab on his heart on how Nikko described heroes, "Well, let's just say we keep peace in this city, we fight against villains, that's it for now, come I will take you to look for your parents," Roku immediately said and dragged Nikko with him.

"Would you mind if I ask why that city was bombed?" Nikko asked.

"I don't know the details but it seems, terrorist had occupied that place, and the government can't do nothing about it, so they decided to bomb it," Roku replied.

"Eh? Then how about the people who lived there?" Nikko asked.

"They have evacuated, but I don't know if everyone left," Roku said as he lowered his head.

Nikko sighed and just continued walking with Roku.

Nikko looked around the city and saw that it was a prosperous city, people, cars, it was very lively, "This is a lively city," Nikko commented.

"Well, of course, we heroes tried our best to keep peace in this city," Roku felt proud.

"Hmm, I guess seeing a man running with a purse on his shoulders is peace," Nikko boredly commented as he looked at the other street.

"Eh?" Roku turned his head and there he saw a man running with a purse, "Hey!" Roku yelled, he suddenly jumped from his position and crossed the street in just a few moments, Nikko raised a brow, "Interesting" he said, it didn't take long for Roku to apprehend the robber with his speed and power.

He also saw that the robber had an interesting ability, it spewed webs from its hands like a Spiderman, too bad he is dumb to utilize it, a little while later, Roku returned to his side, "That's some interesting ability you got there," Nikko said with a smile.

"Hmm? You mean my quirk?" Roku asked.

"Quirk?" Nikko raised a brow, somehow that word felt familiar.

"Yeah, You will also get yours at the age of 4," Roku said. It didn't take long for them to reach the police station and started searching for his parents, even though Nikko hadn't met his parents, he had some hopes for his parents.

"Oh, we found them," said the police officer who was in charge.

Nikko stood up and waited for them to say where they were.

"It seems they died from a car crash, 2 years ago," said the police.

Nikko sighed as he got the answer, for some reason, he found it the same from his past life, his parents also died when he was 3 years old, fate is strange, he never felt the warmth of having parents, still it won't stop him from doing his ideals, he then looked up and saw Roku was staring at him with pity.

*Whack.

"Arghhh!" Roku groaned from pain, Nikko kicked him, "What was that for!?" Roku asked as he held his toes that were still hurting.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy," Nikko said.

"What did you say you brat!?" Roku stood up as they stared at each other.

"Now, now, Roku-san, since he doesn't have parents, he could go to the church, or do you know someone who could take care of him?" the police officer asked him.

"No, I'm going to take this brat with me, the other brat is also getting lonely," Roku said.

"Ho? You already have a daughter?" Nikko sarcastically asked.

"It's not my real daughter but also an adopted one, let's go," Roku said, Nikko followed behind him, while walking on the streets, Nikko carefully looked around the city, it's been creeping him since earlier because he could feel someone gazing at them for a long time now.

A few moments later, Nikko and Roku arrived at a very big mansion. Hell, it's the biggest he had ever seen, "This is your house?" Nikko asked in surprise.

"Hehe, how do you like it?" Roku smiled smugly.

"it's good," Nikko commented.

"That's all?" Roku asked, Nikko only nodded, both of them entered inside and Nikko could only say, 'empty' there are many expensive looking items but there is no one here except for him and Roku.

"I'm home!" Roku yelled as he entered the house, a few moments later, noises from upstairs could be heard. It didn't take long for Nikko to see a figure running towards them. She was small and had black long hair and an innocent look on her face. She looked the same age as him.

"Welcome Home!" she greeted them, she then turned her heads towards Nikko.

"This is Nikko, he also will be living here from now on," Roku introduced him.

"Nice to meet you, My name is Nikko Rejirou, just call me Nik or Nikko," he introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you too, My name is Shimura Nana, just call me Nana," she said with a smile.
