Your Lives Are My Game [SHORTS]

Saku Midoriya was shocked.

It was a strange life she led. One day, she popped out of existence. And the next, she was back home, in a world torn asunder. It was like she had been asleep.

According to her mother, some evil male counterpart of her named Izuku did horrible things, which caused Japan to fall into a state of constant chaos and panic.

Apparently, this "Izuku" person could control time and had been using his powers to play with their lives. He even apparently destroyed the world in a previous timeline.

And, after killing Asriel Dreemurr, the God who created the universe and the one who brought her back, he just... left. No one knew where he was or where he went. He was just gone.

Yeah, it was a lot. And her head was spinning after learning everything that went down. Despite Izuku's disappearance, everyone was extremely scared and uncomfortable. 

And understandably so. After all, someone with unfathomable powers and control over time just showed up one day, had his fun, killed their salvation in front of everyone, and then left.

Suicide rates had skyrocketed. No one wanted to live in a world that another treated like a video game. They weren't video game characters. They were people.

The human population was cut in half due to suicide alone. The death of millions of pro heroes and villains caused worldwide destabilization, which was thankfully fixed by monsters returning to the surface.

Continuing to conflict was pointless since the fallen souls disappeared with Izuku. So, yeah, they were on the surface now and were integrating themselves among humanity, some like Asgore, Toriel, and Alphys even becoming government figures.

Despair was at an all-time high, and despite the billions of suicides, those who remained kept strong. Especially a remarkably powerful monster known as Undyne. She helped keep morale up. She was nice.

The world had been reverted back to how it was during the Dark Age of quirks. Crime rates were high, of course, and everyone was on edge. People especially seemed on edge around Saku, mainly due to her resemblance to Izuku.

She was undeterred, though, as were many others among humans and monsters.

Asriel failed to save them. So what? Their combined hopes and dreams were what summoned him when the fallen humans attacked last time, so maybe by doing that again, they could summon a new, stronger God to save them?

Despite many, many attempts, they all ended in failure. No God appeared, and most believed it was due to the majority despairing. Because of this, some, like herself, began spreading positive memes and videos around.

Life was worth living.

They had agency in their existences.

They could win.

All they needed to do was hold onto hope, and their new hope would appear.

All of these messages seemed to go in one ear and out the other. Nothing changed, and nothing would change for a long time. 

No matter. Even if others lost their will to live and were only alive because their families and friends were alive, Saku would not falter.

Saku Midoriya would stay determined.

Life had become a little more pleasant for the Midoriyas than Saku expected. 

Because everyone knew she had been formerly erased from existence due to Izuku, everyone eventually came around to treating her a little nicer.

At school, despite the dark and gloomy atmosphere, her peers treated her with kindness. And Bakugo, who Saku remembered bullying her, didn't bother her at all anymore. And her teachers were nice as well.

Inko was able to move into a nicer home due to payments and gifts from her peers. Even Nezu, who Saku never thought she'd ever be around, gave Inko and Saku gifts and visited occasionally.

Apparently, in another timeline, the one where Izuku destroyed the world, they were partners. And Inko gave Izuku a lot of trouble and a number of deaths.

Nezu, as well, harshly critiqued Izuku before being killed. And even though Izuku technically won in the end and screwed up the world, it still felt good to tear into him emotionally while he could.

Nezu, being the kind chimera creature he was, offered Saku a scholarship to UA, making note of her intelligence.

Saku wanted to be in the Hero Course, but given how she was quirkless and the existence of beings like Izuku, she decided to stay in her lane.

Eventually, she graduates from Aldera and begins studying, honing her analysis, and even habitually exercising with her mother.

She couldn't be a hero, and she likely wouldn't be the one to fix the world, but that was no excuse to not be the best version of herself that she could be.

Months pass. And the entrance exam comes around. She passes with ease and enters the general course, whereas Bakugo goes into the hero course.

Of course, everyone was apprehensive around her at first due to her resemblance to Izuku, but after some days, they came around to liking her.

She not only made friends in the general course but also the hero and support courses. 

Mina Ashido. Shinso Hitoshi. Ochako Uraraka, Mei Hatsume, Tsuyu Asui, Tenya Iida, and Shoto Todoroki were among them.

They, like most others, were mostly reserved. This was because they were "love interests" for Izuku in past timelines. 

Saku hated her male counterpart. He used people, he abused them, and only after taking everything he could did he finally leave them alone. He was the selfish, twisted kind she hated the most. And she was disgusted that she WAS him in a way.

After hearing of her plight, Inko gave her courage. She was not Izuku. She was a better him. She was a good person, a smart person, and a selfless person. She was her own person. She. Was. Not. Izuku.

Saku gets this into her head and puts more into bettering herself. Picking up many more skills, talents, and strengthening herself.

She was filled with determination.

Apparently, around this time, a story arc referred to as the "USJ Incident" was supposed to happen.

It didn't. Tomura Shigaraki, aka Tenko Shimura, was among the many who committed suicide after everything happened. He was apparently genderswapped in another timeline and was a love interest like most of Saku's friends.

In fact, every member of the League of Villains was dead, having killed themselves as well. Even All For One, the self-proclaimed demon lord, had taken his own life after the weight of his miniscule existence crashed down on him.

It was tragic. The constant, looming threat of Izuku returning to continue his "game" was simply too much for some people.

Not Saku. She believed that there was light at the end of this tunnel. After all, when you're at rock bottom, the only way to go was up.

Izuku had taken so much. She wouldn't let him take her will to live. Her determination.

Then the Sports Festival comes around. The gloomy atmosphere was temporarily banished in wake of this grand event.

She does better than she expected. She was stronger than she expected. She was faster than she ever thought she would be.

She even makes it a good way through the final round before losing to Todoroki. Everyone was shocked by the power of the powerless, quirkless girl.

After the event was over, she was offered a spot in the Hero Course, which she accepted eagerly. Nezu was especially interested in her shocking strength and talent and wanted her in the hero course to hone in.

Of course, about a third of those who were in the Hero course usually weren't alive. So there was plenty of space for her.

Saku was happy. Happier than she had ever been. And her happiness and smiles had even rubbed off on some of the others.

Even her new teacher, who unfortunately wasn't Eraserhead, was smiling more. Her name was Toriel. She was a kind lady who occasionally baked pies during lunch.

Toriel. THE Toriel Dreemurr, queen of the monsters and one of the only monsters who could rival the strongest monster, Asgore, was her teacher.

During a training lesson, Saku sparred with Toriel. And she, unlike the others, actually made her try. Toriel didn't break a sweat, of course, but she did put up the best fight out of everyone. 

Even Bakugo and Todoroki, the strongest in 1A, couldn't land a hit. And yet Saku, the quirkless girl, did.

Everyone loved her. Everyone thought she was cool and strong and talented. Saku, the weak little quirkless girl, was strong and had many friends.

She never thought it was possible. Despite the depressing state of the world, she was at the top of her game.

Though, at the same time, she felt like she was only this way due to Izuku. If he had never shown up here, who knows how different things would've been for her and for Inko?

Well, no matter the circumstances, Saku would remain determined.

Saku, understandably, never had her SOUL trait and determination levels verified. In fact, it was something moat everyone forgot about until Toriel brought it up. 

She had no idea what her SOUL trait was, but she had a feeling it may be the reason behind her unusual strength.

So, she had it verified. But to demonstrate how it worked, Inko had hers verified. Inko's SOUL was green, meaning her trait was kindness, and her determination levels were average.

It was a simple, easy process. So Saku had it done herself. And, well, saying her results were remarkable would be an understatement.

Her SOUL was red. According to Inko and the doctors, the only other red soul in existence was seen just after the fallen humans died. And now, here it was. Before them once again AFTER Izuku left the planet.

Not only that, but Saku's determination levels were off the charts, far, far higher than everyone else's, even higher than every pro hero.

These results were monumental, and the news spread like wildfire. 

This was it. Everyone's hopes and dreams had come together, and while it didn't summon a God, it brought them Saku Midoriya. 

The one with RESET authority. The Angel who was formerly erased by a demon, aka Izuku. She was their hope, their last gift from their former savior and the embodiment of their hopes and dreams, Asriel Dreemurr.

And that's what they decided to name the red SOUL. It was something special and remarkably powerful, clearly, and it seemed only one could exist at a time.

Saku would be the first registered holder of the SOUL of HOPE in history.

Though this was great news, Saku felt a little pressured. The weight of the world was on her shoulders, and though she felt nervous every time she thought about it, she also felt more determined than ever.

She trained hard every single day, studied hard, and sparred with Toriel every chance she had. She was growing rapidly and showed no signs of slowing down.

Years pass. Years of harsh training and studying led to Saku Midoriya surpassing Toriel's overwhelming power, becoming the first human to ever defeat her in a fight.

She graduated from UA, but she never stopped bettering herself. This mindset, along with her unwavering determination, led to her defeating Asgore. The strongest in the world.

It was yet another monumental achievement under Saku's belt. She was the best around, the strongest around.

She stopped crime, hell, because she was around, crime basically didn't exist anymore. Wherever she went, she gave hope to others. Hope that, no matter what odds were stacked against them, they could always rise to the occasion and come out better than they were before.

She became the youngest Nunber 1 Hero ever. She was an icon, an inspiration to women everywhere, both beautiful and powerful. The strongest and bravest woman, and the strongest and bravest overall.

Though, unfortunately, she never could figure out how to access her save file or the power to reset.

She didn't know if she'd ever become strong enough to contend with a fallen human, let alone Izuku should he come back, but one thing for certain, regardless of what happens, she'll never stopped fighting for her world.

Saku Midoriya would remain determined.

It was a beautiful day today. Birds were singing, and flowers were blooming. It seemed that after more than a decade of global depression thanks to Izuku, the world was finally healing and becoming happier.

Monsters and humans loved each other again, and relationships of all kinds were common to see between these kinds.

People were smiling more. Everyone was smiling more. And it was because Saku paved the way and showed them that hope was still real and still alive.

There was no crime, and villains didn't exist. Heroes were instead heroes due to simply helping others where it was needed. Talking down bullies, finding lost children, etc.

After a long day of helping people and doing community service, Saku, instead of returning to her home, decides to visit her mother. Saku moved her out of that dingy apartment and gave her a nice home as well as retiring her. She had more money than she would ever need, and Inko, after everything, deserved peace and happiness.

...

A monster was eating her mother.

Out of her dead mother's intestines cane the long, blood covered snout of the monster. She licks her horrifically sharp and jagged teeth as well as her mouth as she slowly looks at her. The monster drooled the instant it saw her.

Saku was stun locked. Her mind blanked as it tried processing what was happening. It was unbelievable, inconceivable, and every word for impossible. Why? Why?

"Izuku~"

The female monster, despite very clearly being bipedal like most, walked toward her on all fours in the most primal, bloodthirsty way she had ever seen, scratching up the granite floor with her claws.

'Izuku?' Saku snapped out of her frozen state of shock and stepped back.

"I-Izuku? I'm not Izuku! I'm not him! I-I'm - "

"My shining angel... where have you been? Why have you hidden yourself from me?" 

"I told you!" Saku shouts. "I'm not -"

"I missed you so much. I've been looking for you. Your mother was just as tasty as I thought she'd be!"

Saku clenched her fists. "Who are you?!" 

The monster stopped in its tracks, staring into her despite her lack of visible eyes.

"You... you don't recognize me? Your loving owner?"

"I don't know who you are!" Saku screamed. "And I'm NOT Izuku! I'm - "

"How dare you..!" She snarled, her drool melting the floor, stepping toward her. "You impertinent little bitch. You're mine! I OWN you! I-!"

Her mouth extends across her face as he jaw rips open with a sickening squelch, unhinging like a snake.

"After everything, you dare pretend that you don't know me?!"

Growling like a true monster, she grabs her head. A snarl-clicking noise came from her mouth. Rage was boiling over, and... suddenly, she composes herself. Her jaw returns to normal.

"My name is Ceroba Ketsukane."

Ceroba. Her snout was longer and more dog-like. Her hair was a mess with black crystals on their ends. Her jagged, messy teeth were sharp with a broken appearance. She stared at Saku with a neutral expression. Though it was hard to get a read on her due to her lack of eyes. 

"It's no problem if her shining angel doesn't recognize her." She stepped forward. "Ceroba will simply show him. She'll show him just how deep her hatred runs."

Another step. Saku sweats.

"Ceroba will beat him into submission. Ceroba will bear his child. And then, she'll eat him and his light, slowly, while he's still alive."

Fueled by the anger by the death of her mother, Saku rushed forth, sending her flying through several walls and out of the house and into the backyard.

Tears streamed down her face as she landed, searching for her opponent.

She was gone. 'Huh? She disappeared?! Where did she go-' 

Out of the ground came Ceroba, grabbing her arms and restraining her. Saku struggled in her grasp, but Ceroba was freakishly strong. She was so strong she was stuck.

"Huh?" Ceroba, confused, brings Saku in closer and smells her. Saku squirms uncomfortably. "You... are not Ceroba's angel..."

Saku stayed silent.

"But..." Six sharp black bones with red tips rip through Ceroba's back and extend out in front of Saku. "I think I'll keep you."

To Saku's horror, the bones shred through her clothing. Ceroba restrained her arms with her bones and grabbed her chest with his hands.

"Such heavy breasts..." Ceroba drools as she explored Saku, squeezing her all over. "To think someone with such a slutty, full-figured body would become a hero."

"..."

"I've decided." She says, licking Saku's face with her long, black tongue, consuming her tears. She pauses, and Saku gasped as she felt something large and throbbing, pressing into her rear end. "You will bear my children." 

"And I will eat everyone you love while you watch. You may not be Izuku, but you are a version of him, and that's enough for me. For now."

"W-Wait-!" 

Ceroba turns her around, grabbing her thick, heavy ass and slipping her cock between her thick thighs.

"But before all of that... I will take everything from you."

Saku writhes in Ceroba's arms as she forces her tongue into her mouth. Saku hits her as her tongue reaches her, throating it, making it bulge, and her choke. She bites her, she kicks her, she scratches her, but nothing she did could help her escape.

Ceroba pushed the back of Saku's head into her face as her bones extended further, stabbing into her back before retreating. Saku wailed in pain, but it was muffled as Ceroba pushed her down into the grass on her front.

"Your life is worthless, and your light isn't as brilliant as his, but your body is plenty succulent." Ceroba spanked her, enjoying as her meaty rear end jiggled from the impact. "Your affection, your devotion, your determination... your SOUL. It will suffice for now. Until I reunite with my shining angel and become one with him forever."

Ceroba's bones stabbed into her sides, and Saku bit her lip bloody as Ceroba pounds into her fleshy rear. She tried standing, only to fail. And, to her horror, she began to feel weaker. 

Brilliant yellow energy traveled up through the bones, slightly bloating them as the energy entered Ceroba through her back.

"Mmh! I adore how tight you are! Your ass is so big and soft that I could pound it forever!" Ceroba shouts, her pleasure mixing with Saku's anguish, but rapidly, her anguish becomes mixed with euphoria. "And your powers are so yummy! Give it to me! Give me more! Give me everything!" 

Saku felt her strength waning and her determination fading. Every second that passed, she felt weaker.

"Such a good woman!" Ceroba says huskily, pounding away at her determination with each powerful thrust of her hips.

■ Saku is filled with hatred. 

"All of this ass meat on you, God, I'm gonna enjoy putting my children in you so much!" 

■ Saku is filled with hatred.

"This is your own fault, you know. If you hadn't gone out of your way to make yourself so sexy, I would've just eaten you!" 

■ Saku is filled with hatred.

"But now, I have you. And I will never let this gorgeous piece of ass go. Never! Never never!"

Ceroba grunts, digging her claws into Saku's shoulders and her bones deeper into her sides, eliciting blood and pained screams from her.

Her powers, her determination, were completely gone, now having been siphoned to become a part of Ceroba. All that remained was a hollow red soul of hope and its quirkless holder.

But while she was back to being powerless, it was only temporary. As what was there before was replaced by something else.

All of a sudden, as Ceroba began cumming inside her, Saku felt no pain at all. Even as Ceroba clawed into her shoulders, she didn't feel hurt. She instead felt indescribably good.

With every steaming rope of futa semen that breached her womb, a darkness fills her SOUL figuratively and literally. Saku bites her lip, unintentionally raising and backing her dumptruck into Ceroba's nethers. She wanted more. It was like a constantly flowing powerful river of every pleasure imaginable was hitting every cell in her body.

She didn't want to be a hero anymore. What did she gain from helping people? Their stupid smiles? Their empty words of appreciation? Their money?

Saku hated it. She hated how they used her. Why was she obligated to do everything and help everyone? Did they really expect her to spend her entire life serving others just because of her one-of-a-kind SOUL trait?

She hated them. She despised them. She hated how useless they were on their own. Why couldn't they help themselves? She couldn't even live normally because she was constantly swarmed by stupid people and their annoying ass whiny kids.

She wanted to enjoy herself. She wanted to have fun with the powers she was born with. But no, heroes weren't entitled to fun. Their powers weren't for them. They were for "others" and the "greater good" or whatever. What garbage.

No more. She would live how she wanted from now on. And right now, she really, really wanted to make out with Ceroba. Her Ceroba. Her lover. Her everything.

Screw the people and their dumbass problems. She wouldn't be their slave anymore. If they really want change, they can do it themselves. Or they could die for all she cared. Becoming a pillar of justice and hope was the worst decision she ever made.

But this? This would be her best.

Ceroba finishes after a good minute straight of orgasm, pulling her thick, lengthy cock from her insides. Semen pours from Saku's pussy like water from a hose, staining the grass.

"Saku." Ceroba said, grinning monstrously as she lifted herself up with her forearms, struggling to move.

Saku managed to turn herself over, revealing a pitch-black, extravagant womb tattoo that had formed on her cumflated belly. 

"Yes, Goddess?" 

■ Saku is consumed by HATE.

-

Saku Ketsukane

-

Saku had black vine and gray rose tattoos all over her arms, from her shoulders to her knuckles and down the sides of her toned legs. Her eyes were colored black, and a green ring made of sharp thorns rested on her bleeding ring finger.

Saku's long green hair, which reached her mid back, flowed freely in the wind as she straddled Ceroba on top of a ruined UA, kissing her passionately as she was being fondled by her. Her throat was filled with tongue, but she wasn't choking anymore. 

"They hate you, you know." Ceroba said as she broke away. "After Asriel was killed, all of their hopes were pinned on you. But you betrayed them. You hurt them. You made them suffer more than they ever had before. They probably hate you more than they hate Izuku." 

"D-Don't say that so suddenly, Goddess!" Saku said, looking down and quivering. She looks back up at Ceroba, a wide smile on her face. "It's making me so wet~!"

Ceroba chuckles. The deep, husky laugh makes Saku bite her lip.

"I want another one." She says out of nowhere.

"Another? That'd be what, number 10?" Saku asks, gasping before pouting adorably at her. "I'm starting to think you only keep me around to farm determination!"

It was a simple process. Make Saku pregnant, steal determination from the baby once it is born, and then kill it. Rinse, repeat, and you get free determination. Too bad it takes a while each time.

"Now that you mention it... there has to be a faster way to do this." Ceroba says. "Going one at a time is getting old."

"Just get more breeding stock, dummy!" Saku said. "But get my mommy first. I wanna see you corrupt her so badly!"

Ceroba thinks about it. She wasn't interested in her fucking anyone that wasn't Izuku. But if she settled for Saku, her wife, then she figured she may as well go all the way and indulge herself a little. She thought of it as a reward for her suffering.

And, if Izuku could basically get away with abusing his power, why couldn't she do the same? And who would stop her anyway? Asriel was dead, and Izuku was long gone.

And so she decided.

Izuku, her tormentor, would be her magnum opus. His child would be special, as not only would she be the one getting pregnant, but she would also actually go through the effort of raising and caring for it instead of taking its determination, killing it, and then forgetting it.

She was so excited for that day, so excited that she already picked a name for it.

Bete Noire Ketsukane.

"Alright. There's nothing wrong with a little fun." Ceroba says.

"Yaay~!" Saku cheered joyfully.
