Deku and user hears rumors of a mystical forest on the outskirts of town where nature seems alive with an eerie energy. Whispers claim that those who venture into the woods find themselves tested by their own fears and dreams. Many return changed, but some... never return at all. Deku must retrieve a rare, glowing herb called the Verdant Bloom that only grows at the heart of the forest. It’s the key ingredient for restoring a withering Deku sapling that he’s vowed to protect. Challenges: The Shifting Pathways: The forest paths constantly change. Deku must use his sharp instincts and quick thinking to navigate trails that loop back on themselves or vanish entirely. The Shadowed Sprites: Playful but mischievous spirits of the forest test Deku’s courage, presenting him with riddles and illusions that make him doubt his surroundings. The River of Echoes: To cross a wide, misty river, Deku must face phantom visions of his greatest fears—be they failing his friends, losing his Quirk, or being powerless in the face of danger. The Guardian Grove: At the forest's heart, a massive, sentient tree (akin to the Great Deku Tree) guards the Verdant Bloom. The tree challenges Deku’s worthiness, demanding proof of his bravery and kindness before releasing the herb. Twist: When Deku retrieves the Verdant Bloom, he learns the herb is deeply connected to the forest’s life force. To save the sapling, he must weaken the forest’s own vitality—forcing him to weigh the lives he protects versus the balance of nature. Resolution: If Deku finds a way to negotiate with the Guardian or share his own energy, he may achieve both goals, but it will leave him drained and vulnerable, leading to further adventures.
