Universal Profession System
Chapter 1: The Day the Programmer Died and the Multiversal Professor Was Born
The air was thick with silence.
In a small room with the blue light of a screen flickering across his tired face, a grown man was finishing writing a few lines of code. His name, before everything changed, had never appeared in a manga, or in a movie credits, or in any hero's story.
But it was part of a silent story that only a few would remember.
It was 2020.
The pandemic had turned him into an improvised nurse, cook, protector... all while working from home as a programmer.
His elderly parents and younger sisters couldn't go out. So he became their shield.
He got sick like everyone else, but he didn't say anything. Because the others needed him to be strong.
And so he continued: caring, cooking, cleaning, and writing lines of code for a remote job that kept him sane.
The dark circles under his eyes grew. His hands trembled. But he never stopped smiling.
________________________________________
He didn't die from the virus. He died of exhaustion.
His heart simply… stopped keeping pace.
The last thought before he closed his eyes wasn't of fear, nor of sadness.
It was a question he'd always had since he was a child:
"What if anime worlds were real?"
Then, darkness.
Darkness.
Not the terrifying kind, but the gentle kind. The kind of dreams, of rest.
Satoru opened his eyes and saw that he was floating in a white, bright, immense, and tranquil space.
A place between dimensions. A cosmic lobby, if you could call it that.
There was no pain. There was no rush. Only… peace.
A light appeared in front of him.
And from it emerged a small being: a floating chibi cat, with large eyes, rounded ears, and a little star on its forehead.
"Hello, Satoru Akira."
"I'm Flux, your universal assistant. Welcome to the border between worlds."
Satoru looked at him, confused.
"Am I… dead?"
"Yes. But don't worry. You did well. Your family survived thanks to you."
"Your sister will graduate. Your parents are healthy."
"And everyone knows you gave your life for them."
Satoru closed his eyes for a moment. He smiled sadly. A tear fell without resistance.
"Then… I'm at peace."
Flux nodded, floating nearby.
"That's why you've been given a unique opportunity."
A screen appeared before Satoru:
🌐 You have been selected by the "Universal Career System"
💠 Do you wish to continue your existence by crossing worlds?
📜 Each world is based on familiar works from your former life: anime, movies, novels, video games.
🎭 You will be assigned a random PROFESSION in each world, with unique quests to influence its story and grow personally.
🎁 In return, you will receive skills, rewards, and the chance to truly live.
❓ Do you accept?
🔘 Yes 🔘 No
Satoru looked at the screen… then at Flux.
"What if I say no?"
"You disappear. Just like that. No memories. No story. Just peace."
Satoru looked down…
And remembered all the times he dreamed of magical worlds, epic battles, decisions that mattered, and protagonists who changed the world.
"I lived for others…"
"Now I want to live for myself. And if I can help too… even better."
He pressed "Yes."

2. Gain only his basic abilities, no automatic growth
⚠ By choosing full fusion, you could inherit certain… intense behaviors.
Satoru frowned.
"Gojo... the one from Jujutsu Kaisen?"
Flux smiled.
"The same one. Irreverent, powerful, emotionally complex..."
"But, let's admit it... pretty cool."
Satoru hesitated. Would it be safe to fuse with a guy like that?
Then he thought about dying again. About fighting alone. About not having a chance.
—I choose full fusion.
________________________________________
A torrent of energy engulfed him.
Memories, techniques, emotions, battles, losses, hopes… everything came crashing down on him like a torrent.
And when it stopped… he wasn't just Satoru Akira anymore.
He was a new version of himself, with the eyes of infinity.
Flux floated in front of him, amazed.
—Congratulations. You've just officially become…
"The Universal Professional."
The glow surrounding Satoru slowly began to fade, revealing Flux, the magical chibi cat, at his side, who now seemed more animated than ever.
"Okay, now that you're 'The Universal Professional,' let's get to the point," Flux said, performing somersaults in the air.
"There are no second chances here... but there are plenty of possibilities."
A new screen appeared before Satoru, displaying an interface full of symbols, stats, and missions.

Satoru nodded, absorbing each word carefully.
"And my first destination?" he asked. "Where do I start?"
Flux jumped onto his shoulder and answered with a mischievous smile.
"Prepare yourself for the world of heroes-in-training..."
"My Hero Academia."
"Your profession for this quest: Provisional Professor."
Satoru frowned.
"Professor... and that means I'll be taking on students?"
"Exactly," Flux said. "But not just any students. This time, you'll have the difficult task of caring for, guiding, and training future heroes."
"Oh, and by the way, the Hero Commission has already approved your identity and your temporary permit to practice."
"Everything is ready for your arrival."
Satoru felt a mixture of nerves and anticipation growing in his chest.
"So... where do I start?"
"By preparing you for the interview with Nezu, the director of U.A.," Flux said.
"He'll evaluate you and give you the final approval to become a substitute teacher."

Satoru took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself.
"Okay, Universal Professional..."
"Time to prove this second life is worth it."
Flux smiled and winked at him.
"And remember, your universal energy and your Gojo abilities have your back... though you won't always be able to use them at full power."
"We don't want you knocking anyone out on the first day."
A glowing door opened in front of them.
"Come on, your interview with Nezu is waiting for you."
A dizzying sensation coursed through Satoru as he stepped through the portal that opened in front of him.
Space and time seemed to melt away as reality reconfigured around him.
Opening his eyes, he found himself standing in a new world: the bustling city of Musutafu.
In the distance, the imposing structure of U.A. Academy, the place where future heroes were trained, loomed.
"So this is the famous world of heroes-in-training," Satoru murmured, carefully observing his surroundings. "Not a bad start."
Beside him, floating happily, was Flux, who had assumed his usual chibi magical cat form.
"Welcome officially to your first world, Universal Professional."
Internal Plane Name: My Hero Academia – Branch A.
Narrative Significance: High. Social Risk: Medium. Romance Possibilities: High."
Satoru looked at his hands, noticing the energy flowing through him, the fusion with Gojo's template making everything seem a little different. Flux opened a floating interface that only Satoru could see:

"So I already have an official ID here?" Satoru asked.
"Exactly," Flux replied. "The system did all the heavy lifting.
Your face is in the databases. The documents are signed.
All that's left is for Nezu to confirm your entry."
Satoru took a deep breath and walked toward the academy's main entrance.
The hallways were filled with students chatting and practicing their skills, but no one seemed to notice him yet.
The technology and security of the place recognized him as an authoritative figure, opening the doors for him.
Upon arriving at the principal's office, Satoru mentally prepared himself for the interview that would define his future in this world.
"Well, Universal Professional," Flux said, "the real test begins now."
Satoru adjusted his jacket slightly as he waited outside the door to the principal's office.
The air was thick with nervousness mixed with determination.
"Ready to impress, Universal Professional?" Flux asked from his hovering position beside him, making a soft chime sound.
Satoru smiled with a mixture of anxiety and confidence.
"Sort of. But this is just the beginning."
The door opened slowly, and a small but imposing figure appeared in the doorway: Principal Nezu.
His eyes shone with intelligence and curiosity.
"Welcome, Satoru Akira," he said in a firm but friendly voice. "I've reviewed your documentation and preliminary reports. But I want to hear from you directly."
Satoru took a deep breath and entered the office, taking in the details that made the place a perfect command center for a hero academy.
"I understand you've come here to be a substitute teacher for Class 1-A," Nezu continued. "What makes you suitable for this responsibility?"
Satoru settled in and answered honestly, though thoughtfully:
"Not only do I possess special abilities, but also the experience of working under pressure and the ability to adapt quickly. I believe I can guide these young people to discover and surpass their limits."
Flux let out a soft "boop" and flashed a thumbs-up emoji, causing Satoru to smile faintly.
"Very well," Nezu nodded. "But this academy values strength as much as wisdom, and especially heart. Are you willing to understand not only your students, but also the challenges they face outside the classroom?"
Satoru nodded, remembering the sacrifice and exhaustion that had brought him here.
"More than anything. I want them to have a better future."
Nezu approached and handed over a document.
"Then I officially grant you provisional permission to serve as a substitute teacher." But keep in mind: this leave is temporary and conditional on your performance.
Satoru took the paper firmly.
"I understand, and I'll accept the challenge."
As they left, Flux displayed a hologram of fireworks.
"Ready for day one! But remember, this world is as complicated as it is fascinating."
Satoru looked at the imposing building and felt that, even though he was far from home, a new purpose gave him strength.
"Come on, Universal Professional. The real work begins now."
After the interview with Nezu, Satoru was led through a hallway lined with murals and photos of legendary heroes.
Flux, in the form of a cat-sphere gadget, hovered near his shoulder, emitting small
