For ten years, Midoriya Izuku carried a secret inside him. Powers, so wretched & terrible. He hasn't told anyone, not even his dear grandmother fearing she would abandon him just like his parents if she come to know about it.
This power was never his in the first place, he wasn't born with this quirk... This power isn't his... He borrowed it from someone unimaginable.
It all started ten years ago, he was born without a quirk. He is a powerless boy that nobody wants to associate with, just like his parents the only friend he thought will never leave his side gave upon their friendship for the same reasons.
Her outlook on this whole ordeal of him being a guy without a power/quirk was not the kind of reaction he would have ever expected. She cut all ties with him the second she discovered about his defect, as anyone can guess being friends with such a person seems to wound her so-called reputation.
He was just a clueless boy, with big dreams. Midoriya always wanted to be like the No.1 Hero All Might, a hero who saves the people with a smile on his face. But even if he wanted to be like him, he couldn't.
Society reminded him of his flaw, his inferiority, his inability to even protect himself from bullies. No one ever told him the words that he so wishes to hear, words like "You can do it." "I believe in you."
So, he gave up on the dream, why would he ever go on his way to help people this petty and selfish?
What good can he do? He is reaching out desperately for a dream that can't be accomplished, but it all changed one day when he unknowingly discovered a thing that was never meant to be discovered by weak-minded beings like humans— A ritual that could grant any wish as long he paid the price.
Admittedly, he was indeed skeptical about the ritual, but he still conducted it out of sheer curiosity and made the wish of absolute power in the world.
As soon as he made his wish, Midoriya met him... Of all the old ones who haunt the desert places of this world, none takes a greater interest in the race of men than he who is called the crawling chaos, or by another name, Nyarlathotep.
A dreadful being who regards our race as mere toys to be played with and then discarded after they are broken. Yet it never brought harm upon Midoriya, instead, the great him offered him a way out of this accursed fate of his.
From the dawn of time Nyarlathotep is the eyes and the tongue of the idiot god, and more than this, he is Azathoth's mind and heart. He is bound by his nature to fulfill the unarticulated purpose of idiot God, and this he does, but he does so with malice, for he hated his bondage to Azathoth and longs to slay the idiot God and assume his authority.
For that, he needs minions who could become his meat shield once the time comes, that meat shield was of course none other than Midoriya Izuku.
At that moment, Midoriya realized one thing. If he accepts, he'd achieve his dream and the price was his life, when the time would come, he would have to offer his soul and his body to Nyarlarthotep's cause.
Midoriya didn't hesitate at all, this was a no-brainer question even if he loses his humanity along the way. There is some truth when they say that a child matures faster in the worst environment.
At that young age, the little him already wrapped his head around the reality of the world. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes, without any special trait you will be shoved aside and will get discarded like trash, without strength you will be trampled on by people you once considered as a best friend.
That's why he distanced himself from people and surrender to the world of silence. People appreciate the light but he... Darkness is where he belongs, Darkness is where his peace is, that deep silence has a melody of its own, a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world's sound.
