AN: Hello! I've had this in my mind for over a year and only now developed the guts to publish it. The first chapter is short but I'm hoping the others will be longer (over 3k).


It was a normal day in Z-City. The city was alive as people commuted from one end to the other, birds happily chirped and children laughed carelessly in the streets… Well except in one place.

The abandoned area was deadly quiet, as usual, since everyone else had fled long ago due to the high presence of monsters in the area. No one knew how or why but the mysterious beings seemed to be either inexplicably attracted to that area or somehow spawned in there, making it a high-danger turf for civilians.

Wait, did I say no one lived in there anymore? Because there was one family that still inhabited one apartment in one of the abandoned buildings. A father, a mother and their son.

A bald man sat hunched over a computer screen, cheek propped up in his left hand and a permanently bored expression set his face. Just another boring day was going by and he had nothing else to do but try and entertain himself. He'd been idle browsing since waking up but something seemed odd about his home the entire time. Had he forgotten to water the plants? No, he'd done that yesterday. Maybe wash his uniform? No, that had been done as well. Then what could it be? If only he could focus and ignore the background noise of the TV… Wait. When had he turned on the TV? Unless... Yep. Now he knew what had been bothering him. Mainly the presence of his son on a school day.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Saitama asked without turning around, his eyes glued to the computer screen the entire time.

The boy in question also didn't attempt to make any move from his lying position on the futon, his eyes glued as well to a screen, this one displaying a two cartoon characters fighting in some sort of final showdown. He had wondered how long it would take before the bald man questioned him on why he'd remained at home.

"I'm still suspended for three more days." Kaiyo answered in an equally bored tone and twirled one of his many brown dreads in his index finger before letting it fall down.

"Oh. Ok." Accepting the response, Saitama went back to what he'd been distracting himself with before another thought invaded his mind. A more dangerous thought. "Wait, did you tell your mom?"

"Nope. Are you going to?"

"…Dunno."

In actuality none of the males wanted to break the news Kaiyo had been suspended yet again in such a short amount of time. The boy had the proclivity to fight at the slightest provocation and that didn't bode well for him when it came to getting along with select school bullies although it also didn't go well for the ones trying to beat him up, since the boy always won. But none of that impressed his mother.

Lola was the only working parent in the family, having landed a job as a hostess in a bar some years ago and deciding she absolutely loved interacting with costumers, aside from being paid to drink that was, hence why she wasn't home at the moment. The woman was very beautiful, long albino hair, great body and very laid back in personality… that was until she got mad. If someone looked into her eyes they would be able to see her going from zero to murder in a fraction of a second, sending chills down their very souls. Well, it might have had something to do with the fact she was a literal monster but that would be digressing for now.

Kayo thanked whatever gods there're were his father had developed such a laid-back personality after those years when he'd pushed himself to become stronger. It seemed that having become undefeatable had taken a drastic toll on the man's view of the world.

"See, this is why I like you. I wish mom was more relaxed, like you." He said, remembering the last time his mother had found out he'd been suspended. Losing videogame privileges had not been fun.

"Don't let her hear you say that, she'll have both our heads."

"Whatever."

Turning his attention back to the news, Saitama noted that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated in A-City. Buildings collapsed left and right and people evacuated as fast as they could as explosions continued to shake the ground with greater intensity each time. The broadcaster had a terrified look on his face as he reported on the events while wearing a protective helmet and shrinking on himself with evident fear that something would fall on top of him. He continued to go on about how the Hero Association was still underway with sending help when the transmission was cut off and nothing but static could be seen or heard.

It looked like a hero was needed. And the monster seemed very strong as well.

"I guess I'll go." Saitama said.

Getting up from his seat, the bald man exchanged his pajamas for a yellow one-piece jumpsuit, a white cape, red gloves and boots and a black belt with a round golden buckle. Sometimes he wondered if he looked too weird in his hero outfit, but he'd accepted it from the old man and he'd been so proud to see his masterpiece be put to use… Whatever, it wasn't time to think back to the past, anyway, he needed to get going to A-City and see if that monster was stronger than all the others.

Straightening up his cape, Saitama walked up to the entrance and opened the door, ready to finally meet his match.

"Hey, dad…" Kaiyo called, sitting up on his futon to look at the man heading out. "You still look ridiculous in that getup. Also, could you stop by the supermarket and get me those chips I like?"

An insult to his costume and a request for snacks. He'd be more upset if he wasn't used to it by now. "I'll see if they're on sale. See ya, Kaiyo."

"Thanks!" The boy shouted as the door closed behind his father. Chuckling to himself, he stretched out on the futon, putting his hands behind his head, letting the sun warm his golden dark skin. "Man, I sure pity the bastard that runs into him."

Yep, it was just another normal boring day.


AN: So, what did you think? By the way, can anyone tell who is the son? It is kinda obvious but I just had to do it XD
