Chapter 1 – The Rebirth of the Strongest

The pain was brief. One second of darkness... and then, light.

Kai opened his eyes, surrounded by a white void. There was no floor, no walls, no horizon. Just absolute nothingness. He floated in the vacuum as if gravity itself didn't exist.

— "Finally awake," said a calm, almost amused voice.

A man in a purple suit and dark glasses appeared out of nowhere. His name tag bore a single word: Rob. His relaxed expression contrasted with the surreal environment.

— "Did I die?" Kai asked bluntly.

— "I like your directness. Yes, you died. But you've earned something rare: a second chance. A reincarnation — with bonuses."

— "What kind of bonuses?" Kai asked, eyes narrowing.

— "You get to choose three true powers. But remember: too much power too soon can slow down your growth. You'll evolve along with them."

Kai was silent for a moment before asking:

— "Before I choose… what kind of world are you sending me to?"

— "A fusion of several hero universes: Boku no Hero, One Punch Man dragon ball… and many more."

Kai's eyes narrowed.

— "So… I won't have an . If I don't pick something truly powerful, I'll be erased from this world before I even realize it."

He took a deep breath and declared:

— "First: I want the perfect Superman lineage — the one that lets me eventually reach the level of Fifth-Dimensional Golden Superman with time and solar exposure.

Second: the supreme evolution and adaptation ability of the strongest Doomsday ever created, the one sealed in the Source Wall.

Third: a Wife and Subordinate Contract — I can share my power with others, splitting exact percentages. Wives get 10%, subordinates get 1%."

Rob raised his eyebrows, visibly surprised.

— "Very specific… and dangerous. But valid. As a bonus, I'll give you an RPG-style status screen to track your evolution."

With a snap of his fingers, the void dissolved into light.

— "Good luck, Kai. You'll need it."

Three years later...

Kai sat on the living room floor, watching his younger brother, Izuku, play with building blocks. Their mother, Inko, was in the kitchen preparing lunch.

Since turning three, Kai had fully recovered the memories of his past life. He knew he was no ordinary child.

And this world… was even stranger.

— "It's not just My Hero Academia," he thought, glancing at the TV showing a report on the floating school, Sky High.

— "It's a mix… dragon ball, One Punch Man, The Incredibles, Hancock... All merged. And nothing's been nerfed."

Suddenly, he felt something different. A wave of energy surged through his body. He felt lighter… and began to float.

— "Looks like my powers are awakening," he murmured.

He whispered:

— "Status."

A translucent screen appeared in front of his eyes:

Name: Kai Midoriya

Lineage: Superman (Developing)

Power 2: Supreme Adaptation and Evolution

Power 3: Wife and Subordinate Contract

Strength: 10 tons

Speed: 500m/s

Defense: Resistant to common melee weapons

Abilities: Flight (Unlocked)

— "My powers just awakened. Makes sense I'm still weak," he thought, levitating easily around the room.

At that moment, Inko entered holding Izuku and screamed when she saw her son floating.

— "KAI?!?"

He calmly landed.

— "I'm fine, Mom."

Two hours later — Hospital

Inko waited anxiously beside her sons as the doctor reviewed Kai's Quirk test results.

— "Mrs. Midoriya… your son's Quirk is extremely different from yours," said the doctor, puzzled by the report.

— "He absorbs solar energy and converts it into physical strength. It's… incredibly rare."

— "But… don't children usually inherit Quirks similar to their parents'?" Inko asked.

— "Usually, yes. But spontaneous mutations do happen. Rare, but possible."

Kai remained silent.

— "He only understood the basics. Perfect."

— "Take good care of him," the doctor said. "He might become one of the greatest heroes in history."

Inko smiled proudly and left with her sons.

But Kai had other thoughts.

— "A great hero...? Please. With this kind of power, most of these so-called 'heroes' are nothing but ants. Maybe only sayajin or god and Saitama are real threats. The rest? Insects."

He smirked.

— "Maybe building a harem isn't such a bad idea. If I don't have something — or someone — to keep my humanity in check… this world could be wiped out with my first rage outburst. I'm not Superman. I don't have his kindness."

On the street, he saw heroes and vigilantes patrolling. Flashy suits, acrobatics, catchphrases.

— "Too weak," he muttered.

— "What did you say, Kai?" Inko asked.

— "Nothing," he replied with a polite smile.

Back home

Kai stepped outside and stood under the sun, feeling the energy flow into his body. He looked up at the sky, eyes closed, absorbing every ray.

— "My evolution can be accelerated through battle... but I'm no masochist. I won't go looking for pain. I'll grow at my own pace… and no one will stop me."
