chapter 1

Stars.

They sparkled brightly in the night sky over Musutafu, giving the people of the city a beautiful sight to look up too after a hard day of work. Despite being so late, heroes can be faintly heard as they tried to handle different situations that have been occurring throughout the whole city. It was a time where heroes worked the best they could in order to provide a safe and stable environment for citizens. Saving people from villains, natural disasters, and all other types of dangers was what they did, all while making a living out of it. It's been this way ever since society adapted to living with the sudden appearance of quirks in the world. New laws, new careers, and new people were created from the evolution of quirks, but of course, there were those that abused their new forms for selfish actions that heroes had to stop. Villains performing destructive deeds, heroes coming to stop them while saving civilians, this was the stable pattern the world had to live on.

However, little did anyone know that their world would be changed forever, for better, or for worse.

A golden portal open as a figure jump out of it landing on top of one of the building





(This is what he is wearing)

As he stare down to the city as his mind begin act like a computer and gain information of the world around him

"Quirk ?"  The man ask himself as he seem interested in this so called quirk

"If the god said that this is the world that need my help. Then so be it." He said as his eyes flash red

(Begin op)



(You can imagin what the op be like)

He jumped across another rooftop and noticed a long clothesline connecting two building's roofs. He jumped and performed a front flip before lightly landing onto the clothesline, then using the rope to run across to the farther building with light steps.

He continued to travel from building to building while occasionally glancing down at his watch to see what direction he had to go. Soon he got out of the city and ended up at a high school of the sort with a gate that had a logo combining a U and an A. There weren't many other rooftops, so he hid among the shadows and carefully avoided any encounters with civilians passing by.

He finally arrived in a neighborhood where he jumped up and easily pulled himself up to the top of a utility pole. He stood up and looked ahead in the distance of the direction that he intended to go, planning a route to take in his head. He jumped off the top of the utility pole and landed onto a rooftop, then proceeding to jump from rooftop to rooftop towards his destination. Along the way, he passed by a skeleton looking a blonde man who was walking with groceries in hand and then landing atop of a household where he heard an angry teen shouting with some forms of explosions occurring.

He look around as he saw many people with different ability

"This world seem different."  He thought to himself as he peak in to some house, he saw people that have extra body part, some with animal features, some even create element from part of their body.

He have seen many world but this is the first world to be like this.

As he search around , suddenly he heard the explodetion coming from the school where the teen with the explosion ability at.

As he use his super sight and hearing to see what is happening.

The class was going over their career papers and everyone had chosen the same thing, to be a hero. However, when he heard the teacher mention that Izuku had also chosen to be a hero, his entire class laughed at him and a blonde boy with red eyes, who heard was called Bakugo, even exploded Izuku's desk with a unique power from his hands. They all laughed at him, spoke negatively of him, and that was when he heard something interesting:

"Quirkless...?" He thought to himself as he watch. From the information he gain from this world quirkless people are those that does not gain any super power.

"Racist people."  He thought to himself. "There will always be racist people no matter where i go."

As he prepare to go , something stop him on the track as if his instint tell him to keep an eye on the green hair boy who known as izuku midoriya.

He continued to watch the class all the way up to the school ending that day. Izuku was one of the last people sitting at his desk. However, just when he had nearly finished packing up, Bakugo once again tormented him, this time by exploding Izuku's notebook and flinging it out of the window with a look of enjoyment.

There was then one line from Bakugo he picked up.

"If you wanna be a hero that badly, there's a quick way to do it. Believe that you'll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a last chance dive off the roof!"

He squinted his eyes,  "He just encouraged a suicide…"

He continued watching Izuku as he went outside and picked up his notebook with tears in his eyes.

He watched as Izuku gripped his notebook in anger, tears waterfalling from his eyes.

He remember from all his work from the other world. He knew if this izuku keep on taking all these pain inside himself then one day he would become one of the most dangerous being in this world. After all, many of those who've suffered can always find a way to turn it around and show everyone else what they can really do. But will it be for the good, or for the bad?

Izuku ran off with his notebook in hand, heading towards the school gate exit in frustration. The person got up from his spot in a tree and climbed it to the top, then leaping onto the school building. He examined the path Izuku was taking and noticed Bakugo walking in the direction of the city that he had just been at the previous night.

"That person, Katsuki Bakugo… He's a source of stress and pain towards Izuku Midoriya. He even calls him by a nickname, 'Deku'."

A katana appear in his hand



"Perhaps if I removed such an evil person from the equation, then it would make this world and Izuku's mental state better."

However, just as he was about to launch toward Bakugo, he noticed that Izuku was getting rather far since he was running.  "I'll have to take care of this 'Bakugo' later."  He then jumped off the school building and continued to follow Izuku in secret.

He followed him to a tunnel where Izuku halted his walking at the entrance of it. At that point, he looked less angry and more depressed, looking down at the ground and tightly gripping the notebook in his hand. Izuku seemed to have had a pep talk for himself, because the next moment, the boy held his head high and grit his teeth in a determined matter, then cheerfully marching into the tunnel.

"Even though his confidence was just put down just a while ago, he can still find the ability to encourage himself to keep going? How long can he keep that up though?"

He jumped beside the tunnel and place his back against the side of the entrance to keep himself hidden. He thought to himself: "why am i concern my self with this". Suddenly he heard the sound of drowning as he look at the place where Izuku was. He squinted his eyes as a sludge-like substance with evil eyes came out and grabbed Izuku, pulling him into its body.

He was about to summon his katana to save him until.

CLANK!

He stopped as the sewer lid completely blasted up and startled the sludge villain, making him turn around with his eyes widened. Within the opening of the sewer, a tall and muscular man with blonde hair came out smiling with his eyes shadowed.

"It's all right now, young man. Why?"  he stomped his foot against the ground, creating a small shockwave.

"Because I am here!"  All Might proudly yelled, holding a proud stance.

The sludge villain's eyes became blood red,  "ALL MIGHT!"  he shot slime-like arms over towards him and attempted to slam into him, but All Might easily avoided the villain's efforts and pulled his own arm back.

"Texas Smash!"  He punched the air in front of him and created a powerful shockwave shooting towards the sludge villain. Due to the villain's fluid-like body, he felt himself getting split apart.

"Wind pressure!?"  Were his last thoughts before his slime body shot against the walls and rendered him unconscious.

The teen felt the powerful winds all the way from the start of the tunnel, his hair blowing back and he even used an arm to cover his eyes.  "Such raw power… I wonder if his abnormal strength is his 'quirk'?"

The aftermath of the fight wasn't much to watch. All Might woke up Izuku and apologized for getting him mixed up with the villain, while Izuku frantically fanboyed to see his number one hero right there in front of him. However, as All Might tried to leave, Izuku caught hold of his leg and blast off into the air with a shockwave he left behind.

"What is that idiot thinking?"  He slightly fixed his long hair that was messed up from the shockwaves All Might caused. He then ran and jump onto a few buildings to follow the duo. He was careful not to jump too high or risk being noticed by the hero while in the air, but he made sure to keep sight of them and keep up. He hopped along a shorter assortment of buildings while following All Might all the way up to the point where they stopped.

Instead of also jumping atop of the same building the two stopped at, the person went into an alleyway on the side the building and looked up at the top. He saw a fire escape and easily climbed up it without making any noise, but the fire escape didn't reach all the way to the top of the roof. Once at the highest it could go, he jumped slightly upward and held onto the very edges of the roof and listened closely.

"Even if I don't have a quirk, can I become a hero?" he heard Izuku asked anxiously.

He raised an eyebrow as he listened.

"Can even someone without a quirk be like you?" Izuku's voice sounded shaky.

Out of curiosity, he pulled himself up so that his head barely peeked over the edge of the building and saw Izuku standing straight with his eyes closed while All Might coughed blood in his hand while steaming up.

"What's with him? A condition?"

After a few more moments passed the teen's eyes widened to discover All Might turn into a skinny man.  "He's the same skeletal man that I this morning while traveling."

Obviously, Izuku freaked out when he saw this form of his hero, but All Might showed him an injury he got five years ago, one that caused him problems for his hero career and that only let him work up to three hours a day as a hero. His injury had been caused by a villain, but he said that he didn't wish to make the battle public so that he could continue saving people with a smile without worrying everyone.

He then heard All Might sigh, "Pros are always risking their lives. I'm sorry… but I cannot simply say 'you can become a hero even without power', it's not that easy."

Izuku looked mortified, he tilted his head and looked down at the ground with widened eyes. "I-I see…" was all he could say.

He focused his eyes on Izuku's heartbroken expression,  "Even the hero he looked up to for his entire life told him that he can't be a hero."

"If you want to help others, then you could also become a police officer. They're often teased because they get villains delivered to their doorstep, but that is also a fine occupation." All Might walked towards the stairs of the building, but before going down he said one last thing, "It's not bad to dream, but also have to consider what's realistic young man."

After All Might disappeared, the person turned his head and looked to a weak-minded Izuku now, "Now what will  you  do now Izuku Midoriya?"

Izuku dropped his notebook on the ground and fell to his knees. A small, sad laugh was heard, "Y-Yeah… Even… even a pro hero said so… S-Someone quirkless… can't be a hero…"

"How pitiful…"

It didn't take long for Izuku to finally get up and sadly go down the stairs. After he left, the person finally pulled himself atop of the building and thought about everything he's seen so far.

"So… Izuku Midoriya, a young boy whose only wish in life is to become a hero, has had his dreams shattered. Due to being quirkless, his dream seemed more like a fantasy in the eyes of everyone he has ever met. Bullied and discriminated by anyone around him, no sign of any friends whatsoever, and being told repeatedly that he couldn't fulfill his dream has had given a beating on his self-confidence. But now the question I'm wondering about him is-" He down over the edge of the building at Izuku walking with his down in depression. 

"-What path will you take now, Izuku Midoriya? Let's find out."

_____________________________________

Izuku Midoriya walked down the city sidewalk looking into his burnt notebook in depression. So many things that people had said before went through his mind once more, especially after his encounter with All Might.

"He still can't face reality, even though he's already in his third in junior high!"

"It's time for you to think seriously about your future!"

"You have to consider what's realistic."

He closed his notebook and let out a sad sigh.

"Even a pro hero said it…"  He felt water blurring his vision and he wiped his eyes,  "Don't cry! You knew, didn't you?!"  The world darkened around his mind.  "You knew! That's why you were trying so desperately! You were averting your eyes, not looking at reality!"

His idol, no, his hero, had told him that he couldn't become a hero without a quirk, crushing a part of Izuku's spirit that he had been trying to keep together for so long.

He sighed,  "Can I really not be a hero?"

This question echoed through Izuku's mind as he passed by a small, dark alleyway. But just as he nearly passed it, a hand reached out from the darkness and covered Izuku's mouth with another hand grabbing his arm.

"Mmph!?" Izuku's eyes widened and he didn't even get a chance to scream as he was suddenly pulled into the alleyway and was slammed by the front against the wall. A hand pinned his arm behind his back and Izuku felt a cold blade of the sort get placed on the back of his neck, making his blood turn cold. 

"You scream, you die." A cold voice threatened behind him.

Izuku went pale and didn't even attempt to struggle out of fear. He simply managed to perform the smallest of nods and complied.

"Good. You may not have noticed, but I've been watching you for a while" the voice said behind him.

Izuku blinked in shock,  "W-Watching me? Why me? Wait, if he's been watching me for so long, then does that mean-!?"

The person interrupted his thoughts, "Such a secret, but important conversation to conveniently come upon, I'm sure that many people wouldn't like to know that such a hero has been keeping secrets like that from them."

Izuku felt his stomach drop,  "H-He knows… He heard everything. Did I just… release All Might's secret to the world?"  Izuku felt horrified, disappointed, ashamed, so many bad feelings of guilt just plagued his mind at that thought.

"Now I don't get exactly what's going on, but currently I don't have anything against that hero. Rather, I have business with you instead."

"Wha-Me!?"

"All I wish for you to do is to answer one question I have. Answer it truthfully and you'll be alright, after all-" Izuku felt the blade pressed up more behind his neck, "-depending on your answer, you may not end up unharmed. Understand?"

Izuku felt absolutely terrified, he was basically shivering down to his spine and sweat frantically went down the side of his head.  "Wh-What did I do? What does he wanna ask me? Wh-Why is my luck so bad today?"

"I'm going to remove my hand from your mouth, just answer my question and everything will be fine, alright?"

Izuku slowly nodded his head once more in confirmation.

He removed his hand from Izuku's mouth and move closer to his ear, "Your lifelong dream is to become a hero, you've studied them, admired them, desired to become one of them. Yet, every person you've met discriminated you and told you that it was impossible for you to become one due to being 'quirkless'. Yet, you've been holding on to that dream for so long with hopes of somehow being able to become one. A boy without power trying to become a hero, it wasn't until your life long hero, All Might finally told you, that you've finally realized that your dream wasn't achievable."

Hearing all of this once more, Izuku had gone from being scared to partially depressed.  "I know that... But where is he going with this?"

"So now that you've realized how futile it is to become a hero, let me ask you, Izuku Midoriya-" His eyes glared in a serious matter, "-what path will you be taking now?"

Izuku repeated that question in his mind,  "What… path will I be taking?"  His mind shot back to his entire childhood, remembering just how much he wished to become a hero growing up. He felt tears beginning to form in his eyes as he thought back to first learning that he was quirkless. He remembered on that same night when he asked his mom if he could become a hero, she only apologized again and again and again, giving no hope to the boy whatsoever. He clenched his hand and thought about Bakugo and all of his classmates bringing Izuku's dream down several times. He felt angry, he wanted to do something, to say something, but he knew that whatever he said wouldn't matter. All Might saying he couldn't become a hero, he had felt a part of his spirit break at that moment, he was heartbroken, betrayed, miserable, but despite all of this…

He still knew what he wanted to do.

There were drops of water falling onto the floor, "I-I-I still want to become a hero, no matter what." His voice was cracking as he sobbed, "A-All I want is to be able to do is save people with a smile, I don't want to give up on that dream. It's all I ever wanted." Izuku said truthfully.

The person stared in wonder at the boy. Despite being treated so terribly and even though his dream seemed like a fantasy, Izuku still had the will to go on with it.

He sighed, "I see… You really are an idiot."

Izuku sniffled.

"Yet… it's admirable."

Izuku perked his head up, he felt the hand on his arm let go and the blade on his neck get removed. He immediately turned around at an attempt to get a view of his attacker but to his surprise, there was no longer anyone right there. 

"Wh-Who was that?! They already left!?" Izuku muttered as his eyes frantically looked around for any indication of his assaulter. Having discovered that there was no one around, he sighed in relief.  "Guess he's gone… I don't think I should bother reporting this to police, they won't have any leads to go on."  he thought as he readjusted his backpack and wiped his eyes of the remaining tears. He left the alleyway with his head down once again.

"Who was that guy? Why was he spying on me for so long? Is he still -"

Izuku didn't get to finish the thought as a sudden explosion occurred in the distance and shook the ground. Izuku's eyes shot up and he saw smoke ahead in the city.

"That explosion…"  Izuku ran in the direction of the smoke and came upon a crowd of people attempting to look into an alleyway, from which was the source of the big clouds of smoke. Izuku noticed several different heroes on the scene, from the wood hero Kamui Woods wrapping up civilians to save, to Backdraft the firefighter hero who was attempting to put out the fires caused by the explosions. 

"They seem to be struggling…" Izuku worried. He peeked through some civilians to get a better look but his eyes widened in horror to recognize the sludge villain as the one that he had encountered earlier that day.  "Wha-What is he doing here?! Didn't All Might capture him?!"  Izuku placed both hands over his mouth, a new terrible thought coming to mind.  "D-Did he escape… because of me?"

As he worried, little did he know that the number one hero himself, All Might, was only a few feet away from him but in his skeletal form due to spending too much time in his hero form. He didn't notice Izuku near him either since he could only stare in similar despair and anger at the sludge villain causing destruction in the alley.

"Damn it! Why am I so pathetic!? I can't even save one boy!"  Toshinori, thought to himself as he punched the wall next to him out of anger, not even making much of a dent in his skeletal form.

As this was all happening, someone was examining the situation all the way from the top of one of the buildings connecting the alleyway. The sun gleamed over him, making him a silhouette with two glowing red eyes watching the entire scene below.

"Hm, it appears that the villain somehow managed to escape the confinement of All Might. So much for a professional hero..."

He then looked down at Izuku once more, "Although you say that you desire to be a hero, what could you do? How far are you willing to go to prove it?" he muttered.

Izuku stared at the devastating sight in front of him, wondering what would happen and if the heroes didn't stop the villain.

But then the villain turned his body and Izuku's heart dropped.

He saw his lifetime bully, Katsuki Bakugo, being held captive within the sludge villain's body with water in his eyes from suffocating. 

"Kacchan!?"  Izuku screamed in his head in horror.

He then heard Death Arms yell out to someone "Hey kid stop!! It's too dangerous!"

Izuku wondered who Death Arms was calling out to before realizing that he was currently running toward the sludge villain as if his legs had minds of their own. 

"What the hell am I doing?!"  He screamed in his head as he ran up to the villain.

The teen watching from the roof and squinted his eyes at the sight of Izuku running despite not having any powers.

In the crowd stood Toshinori, surprised, speechless, and stunned from what he saw. Out of anyone that could've run towards such a dangerous scene, the quirkless boy that he encountered earlier was the one to do it.

Izuku, on the other hand, was completely freaking out,  "Crap, crap, crap! I ran in here, but what do I do!? I'll just get killed! Think Izuku, think!"  His mind flipped towards three sections of the notebook in his mind,  "I gotta obscure his sight!"  He gripped onto a strap of his backpack and flung it upward towards the villain's eyes.

The sludge villain saw Izuku running towards him and felt fueled with anger,  "YOU!!"  the sludge villain screeched. However, before he could react and go for Izuku, he got hit in the eye by some of Izuku's school materials flying from his open backpack. 

"AARRGH!!"  the sludge villain yelled as he closed his eyes and winced from the sudden pain. 

Toshinori could only watch in terror,  "This kid is gonna get himself killed! He… He…"  his eyes then widen as he recalled his own experiences before becoming a hero. He remembered the stories of the best heroes and compared the similarities to what Izuku was currently doing. Remembering what it meant to be a hero once more, Toshinori felt himself getting more determined than ever and began buffing back into his muscular form, luckily, everyone was too focused on Izuku running to the villain than to notice him.

"I can't sit here and watch!"

In the meantime, Izuku leaped to the sludge villain and went right to attempting to free Bakugo by scooping up chunks of sludge and throwing them aside, sadly not succeeding. During that time, Bakugo managed to free his mouth from the sludge and glared at Izuku with rage in his eyes. 

"DEKU!? What the hell!? Why are you fucking here?!" He yelled at him.

Izuku had tears in his eyes as he looked at Bakugo with a sad smile, "Well, you just looked like you were asking for help!" he said in a cracking voice.

The person above had a realization,  "So he's one of those types of people. The kind who would be willing to endanger his own life for the sake of even one other person. A true hero."

"Pathetic… Pathetic!"  Toshinori shouted to himself, turning back into All Might.

By this point, the villain had recovered from the pain in his eyes and looked down at Izuku with blood-red eyes, his pupils shrinking in pure anger.

"YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!!"  Yelled out the villain as a large, sludge hand came out and overshadowed Izuku and Bakugo, mere seconds from overtaking them entirely.

As all might was about to jump in ; the teen from above jump down.

The villain's hand collided with something, causing another explosion to occur, many of the crowd gasped in shock, thinking the worst had happened.

Izuku shielded his eyes from the smoke, but when he opened them, what he saw was a black hair boy that was seem older then he is right in front of him with his hand in the sludge and protecting both him and Bakugo.

"WHO ARE YOU? DOESN'T MATTER I'LL CRUSH YOU ALL!"  the sludge villain shouted in rage as he prepared for another attack to swallow them whole.

But the boy had already begun moving his fist forward as his fist begin covering in a black arua .

The moment his punch connected to the sludge villain, a giant shockwave blew the entire villain away, his slime body spreading all over the alleyway. Intense winds put out all the fires in the area while also nearly blowing back many civilians if it wasn't for Mount Lady using her arms to protect them. While All Might try to keep him from the wind pressure, he thought to himself "who is that boy?".

The smoke cleared, revealing the black hair boy standing in a now fire-free area. Suddenly the boy dissapear causing every one to confuse and wonder who that boy was.

All Might was as confuse as everyone else "Who was that boy ? A new hero or a vigilante?"  He thought to himself as he wonder to himself "Well it doesn't really matter now" then he look at izuku"I found my next successor."  All Might thought proudly.

The boy kept watching from above as the heroes began to clean up the area after what had happened. He recognized the same wood hero that he encountered the previous night, but also took into account the many other heroes around. 

He watched as Izuku bowed apologetically in front of the heroes and then ran off in the direction of his house. 

"Izuku Midoriya, you are definitely worth to let live for the sake of others. You are truly worthy to have their power ." He spoke out.

The sky was beginning to glow orange as the sun was setting, people moved along the street away and away from the crime scene. The person noticed Bakugo look around to discover that Izuku had left and shrugged off the heroes as he ran after the boy with an enraged look on his face.

"Could he really be angry at Midoriya for trying to save him? How vexing…"

As he look around he saw All Might who was now in his base form look in shock to see that the broccoli haired boy he chose was no longer around.

"Hm, that hero… From what i seen he's indeed powerful, even if he has the major drawback of the limit on his power. However, I noticed that look in his eyes when he was about to save those two from that monster, he was inspired by that boy and judging by how he looked when he rushed off, he must be going to find him…"

He then jumped off the rooftop and went along to also follow the direction that Izuku took.

"What could he want with him this time?"

Little did this mysterious being know, that on that day, by formally meeting not just Izuku, but All Might as well, that he would be starting on an adventure that would change his entire life. Everything he knew before, everything he didn't know, everything that he remembered, that was all going to change due to taking the same path as the emerald haired boy.

And so began the adventure begins.
