The sun was starting to peek through the curtains of little five year old Izuku's room. As he started to slowly wake up all of his limbs, he failed to notice the now obvious presence in his room.
"GAH! Wh...what are you doing in my room?" Izuku was both curious and scared about this new development. His mom always said not to talk to strangers because they could be dangerous and now a stranger was just sitting in his room staring at him sleep!
"Izuku, are you alright hun?" Inko, Izuku's mom was knocking on his door.
"I'm alright mom, dont worry. I'll be down for breakfast in a bit." All of this was said without Izuku's eyes ever leaving the floating... thing... in his room.
"Alright, don't forget to brush your teeth and please do try to brush your hair today?"
"Ok mom, I will!"
Now.
"What are you? And why are you in my room?" Best get the most important questions out of the way.
Instead of speaking with the mouth, or at least Izuku thought it was a mouth, a text box appeared in front of it with slowly appearing characters.
Hello and Welcome to your new perspective of the world around you.
Huh?
"What do you mean?"
I shall explain it in terms you may understand better. I am part of your quirk. Your quirk, for lack of better explanations right now, is how you visualize the world now.
"Woah! I have a quirk now?!"
Yes you do.
"So how exactly do I see the world now, because nothing seems to have changed from yesterday..."
One moment please... please stand by....
Please stand by....
Loading interface...
Loading complete.
All of a sudden Izuku could see numbers and screens popping up in front of him, which happened to be the wall on the opposition side of his bed. The most prominent screen read "Basic Tutorial"
Please follow the tutorial. If you have questions, locate the QnA tab on your home screen. I will appear and answer whatever question you may have to the accordance of your skill level. Enjoy your time playing user.
The thing that was floating in his room appeared to dissolve in millions of pixels that scattered about his room before disappearing finally.
That's not creepy at all. Well... he might as well follow this "tutorial" thing. He reached out to the screen to find it surprisingly solid, and tapped "accept".
Welcome User. What shall we call you? This may be changed later..

Another screen appeared. It had a blinking cursor like a computer would have in a word document. Izuku experimentally tapped the box and a keyboard screen popped up.
"Wow.. Now that's cool!" Izuku typed in "Deku".
Deku, you say? Welcome Deku, to your new experience. You can now view the world around you as if you were playing a video game. Stats, skills, quests, and harvestable items to store within your inventory are now elements of your world that you can interact with. Before we begin each section of the tutorial, I believe you have breakfast to get to Deku. The interface will follow you wherever you go. Others can see floating screens around you however, not their contents if you wish it to remain private, to remove the screens from your line of sight, simply tap the X button in the top right. To bring the screen back, you may summon the Home screen upon which all other assets are available. Enjoy your breakfast.
Upon being told the last bit of information, Izuku closed all of the tabs around him. He made his way down to his mom with a happy grin on his face. Upon entering the kitchen, his mom looked at him slightly confused but happy that her son was happy.
"Hey little guy, what's got you in such a good mood?"
"I have a quirk mom! And its super cool, I think... I still don't really understand it. The way that my quirk works means I get tutorials on how to use it."
"Thats great sweety!! I'm so happy for you. I'll work on getting you a quirk doctor appointment so we can learn more about it and who knows, we might be able to register it ourselves! You'd get to name your own quirk, Izu."
"Ohhww I can't wait!" Izuku proceeded to essentially absorb the food into his bloodstream with how fast he ate it all. Inko was at a loss as to how he could eat that fast but was amused at her son's antics regardless.
"I'm done!! I'm going to go follow the tutorials now and learn more about my quirk."
"Ok sweety, be safe and please don't hurt yourself. Oh also don't forget Katsuki and his parents are coming over later after lunch."
"Yay! Kacchan's coming over, I cant wait to see his quirk more. Its so cool, he can make explosions with his hands, I wonder how it works. Maybe I can help him think of some ultimate moves or a hero name, that should be fun-"
"Izuku, dear. I thought you were going to learn more about your quirk?" Inko was beyond amused at this point and let it show in her tone as she struggled to hold a laugh in.
"Oh right, thanks mom. I'll see you later!" With that, Izuku raced up the stairs.
