"UNITED STATES OF.....SMASH!!"
The detestable roar of All might rung through All for one's ear and the not too unfamiliar pain spread across his face.
'This horrid sensation...!'
It was not the pain that he hated, but the fact that he couldn't defeat the opponent that stood before him, which caused hatred to rise within him.
'Tomura....I look forward to your growth.' Only this thought alleviated his mood, before his consciousness sank into the darkness.
----------
The oni village.
The shrill cry of a baby rang through the wooden hut — where multiple people gathered to either congratulate or merely satisfy their curiosity of the newborn.
A rare occurrence in their secluded village - where the population could be counted in just hundreds.
"Hahahaha! It's a boy with quite energetic mana!" The laughter of the village chief gathered everyone's attention, as he raised the newborn baby with two horns up into the sky.
Many villagers were captivated by the baby's pale white hair, which glowed unnaturally in the moonlight.
The midwife, who helped in the child's birth - shook her head at women on the bed. There was another newborn baby in her hand, appearing no different than a skeleton, long dead before even birth.
Apparently it was supposed to be twin brothers.
The woman in the bed was sad, looking pitifully at the skeleton she gave birth to. Though the existence of another child put her mind at slight ease, it was still a sad turn of events.
The village chief didn't mind and instead, felt it to be a fortunate turn of events.
Twins were looked upon as a defect in not just this village, but in many other tribes too.
The baby with white hair squirmed, opening his eyes with difficulty.
The village chief's long horns entered All for one's gaze. The strange old man's face instantly made his mind jolt awake - making him wary of his surroundings.
Trying to move his body which refused to obey him, slight irritation spread through his mind.
'Where am I...?'
All for one tried to look around with his eyes, only to find his small hands and the cloth wrapped around him.
Confusion spread across his eyes.
When pieces of memory slowly appeared in his mind.
In the darkness with no light, where only warmth gently covered his body. All for one's quirk sensed an ability that he could plunder, belonging to his twin. He activated his quirk, unconsciously absorbing all of his twin's abilities.
[Divine Protection of Earth Spirits]
Information flowed into All for one's infant mind, causing him to grimace.
'Rebirth...?' Such an idea appeared in his mind, contemplating it coldly.
All for one knew every last quirk that he absorbed through his life and none had such an ability.
At that moment - the village placed all for one beside the woman, who seems to be his mother.
"His name shall be Sekt from this day." The village chief declared resolutely.
All for one scoffed at the man for arbitrarily giving him a name, only for innocent noises to leave his infant mouth.
"Hehe~" The mother cradled All for one gently, only for the baby to babble even more.
Thus, All for one was born into another world.
---------
Three years later,
In this year, All for one was capable enough to move around by himself without any supervision.
His physical appearance was no different from how he looked at his past world. The only contrast would be his crimson eyes, as if they were dyed with blood. He personally liked them.
Sitting on the tree's root which was recently cut down, All for one felt a immense sense of emptiness and restlessness. This feeling has been persisting throughout the past 3 years.
All his six years of planning had come to a null, but that wasn't the reason for his emptiness. It was due to his quirk, all the abilities that all for one had collected throughout his life were wiped clean.
The only comfort might be the sense of strength he felt climbing through his leg, at the moment.
[Divine Protection of Earth Spirits] - the ability All for one stole from his dead twin. Though it's very likely that his twin died from his action of stealing his abilities, All for one didn't mind it.
'In the end, an unborn child is no different from a piece of lifeless flesh.'
All for one wasn't trying to make up a reason to lighten his guilt or anything. He firmly believed what he thought to be the truth.
'As for this Divine protection...'
It was a very versatile divine protection - As long as all for one's feet was on the ground, his body would be covered in a tough guard of earth. He can cause the earth to cave in with a single step, reduce the effects of Earth Magic, and accelerate the recovery of wounds and stamina.
'Just this isn't enough....' The restlessness in All for one's chest refused to calm down.
No amount of strength would ever be enough for him!
All for one had mostly accepted his sudden rebirth to this strange world. And that, the power system here was very different from the one from his past life.
[Devine protection], [Magic], [Swordsmanship] and [magical techniques]. There were things like [Curses] and so on from the books he read in the village chief's house, but they all seem abstract to all for one.
With his intelligence and talent with magic, All for one maintained his image as a young prodigy before the village. He was called as the second coming of the oni god, which appears to be some legend of this village.
His prestige could not be toppled even by the twins that were born just a month ago. According to the chief, one of them possessed unparalleled talent in wind magic.
While on the other hand, All for one possessed affinity with every element of magic. A fact that shocked the whole village.
