MHA: I Became Arthur Rimbaud

John T. Vance was not a hero. He was a corrupt mayor, a former black ops soldier, a liar in a suit, a smiling predator who understood that justice was only real when someone powerful needed it to be. After being framed, betrayed, exposed, shot, blown apart and executed in front of his own city, John expected hell. Instead, he woke up bleeding. Reborn inside Japan as Arthur Rimbaud, the Duke of Britannia, John finds himself trapped inside the dying body of a foreign noble standing at the edge of memory, betrayal, and war in a world where children are judged by their blood, their quirks, their usefulness and how easily they can be controlled. Heroes smile for cameras. Villains rot in shadows. Nobles hide monsters behind titles. Governments bury secrets behind flags. Society worships power while pretending it believes in peace. And Arthur possesses an ability carrying the most beautiful curse of all. Illuminations. A power with a poetic name. A power that sounds like light. A power that may prove territory only belongs to the man strong enough to separate it from the world. Now surrounded by foreign politics, military secrets, quirk supremacy, fake heroes, hidden organizations, and enemies who already tried to erase Arthur Rimbaud before he could become something worse, John must decide what kind of monster survives in a world like this. Unfortunately for everyone, John T. Vance already knows the answer. (Arthur’s POV) "Let’s start with you." Said Arthur with a bloody smile. ----------------------------------------- WARNING WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ ⚠️ Content Warning: Throughout this story, there are scenes involving strong language, physical and emotional abuse, sexual situations, violence, and other mature or disturbing themes.
