    Summary

    From a young age, Izuku had to hide his quirk. At first, he did it because his dad asked him to, because it was something special that he shared with him. It wasn't too long before he started hiding it in shame. When he finally meets his idol, All Might, Izuku decides he can't live like that anymore. He has to take down his villainous father, All for One, no matter how much it hurts.

    Basically, I looked at some fan theories about Dr Tsubasa, All for One, and Izuku and then decided, 'Hey, I want to make a fic!"

    The first arc is finished! And it can be read as a standalone fic. But why do that when there's more?

    Summary

    "A rude awakening would be a gentle way to describe what Izuku was faced with upon opening his eyes.
    With a kick drum in his head, a sticky film covering his skin, and a dull powerful pain in his gut, he felt as though he was ready to keel over and die not even three seconds after he half opened his foggy eyes.

    .
    'Oh.' He thought, befuddled. 'I’m in a dumpster.'"

    When Izuku wakes up mysteriously in a dumpster after walking home one day, his whole world changes right under his feet. Follow him as he claws and fights his way back to the light of his lost life with the help of a mysterious power awakening within him. Can he truly be a hero?

    Summary

    "So why should I be the one to go?! You’re the teacher! The Hero!! What good could someone like me do?!”

    “Izuku.” The man’s voice was harsh, and made the younger man’s eyes focus on his friend. His eyes softened. “It must be you. You’re not who you were back then. You aren’t useless. Remember this: You are a Hero. And the world is counting on you—even if nobody realizes it. Here. When the time comes... give this to him. You'll know he trusts you when he calls you 'Problem Child.'" He smiled fondly, handing Izuku a pair of rings on a chain.

    ~~~~~~~

    When the world ends, their only hope is to send one Quirkless man back in time. Back in his 14-year-old body, will Midoriya Izuku be able to save the world that shunned him all his life? And will he finally be able to become a hero this go around?

    Good thing he had time as a vigilante to practice.

    Summary

    Izuku’s life doesn’t just veer off course - it detonates.

    After the sludge villain incident, after Bakugou leaves him broken and bleeding in an alley.

    Instead of a hero's rescue, he gets the Hero Killer.

    Instead of safety, he gets dragged into the League of Villains and tied to a debt he never asked for and can’t refuse.

    It should’ve been the end of everything he hoped for. It should’ve been the worst thing that ever happened to him.

    And maybe, in some ways, it was.

    But somewhere between becoming Stain’s personal informant and the League’s analyst, Izuku starts to understand something:

    He isn’t nearly as powerless as he used to be.
