Change word: WE
Welcome to the first chapter of OSH! Or One Sided hero! A few things before we start! Change words will appear in almost every chapter! They relate to something in the main title! Almost like a little puzzle, that really, isn't to difficult to crack!
Me and the rest of DDMMNOD thought it would be a fun little thing to give more insights into the story! So if you have theories we are always open to hear!
Alright on with the story!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It hurt.
Imagine having a dream you believed in for your entire life. A dream that was so precious, and fragile, yet so resistant. He had been told multiple times throughout his life that his dream was unreachable, that he was too useless to even give it a try. He was resilient and he kept trying. But life today, specifically today, was slowly chipping away at his will.
"You wanna be a hero so bad? I've got a time saving idea for you. If you think you'll have a Quirk in your next life, pray for one and take a swan dive off the roof!"
"I'm sorry young man, without a quirk-, I don't believe you can be a hero."
"That's a disgrace of a hero. I can't believe he would say something like that!"
Wait. That wasn't a voice he recognized. It was a female voice.
"To tell someone they can't do something, solely based on something they can't control disappoints me." The voice spoke again.
So I'm not hallucinating.
He stood up and turned around slowly. Blinking as a figure came into his vision. She didn't look to be human, in fact her form reminded him of a ghost. Her hand was on her midsection, which led to a tail instead of a pair of legs. Barely levitating off the ground, her skin was purple, with blue and white gradients that occurred on her hands and tail. Her shoulders had small purple wisps that faded to white. Her head had two small spikes disconnected from her cheeks while two horns sprouted from her head.
"Who are you?" He asked quietly. He didn't recognize her, and for her to have overheard his and All Might's conversation.
-She overheard his conversation with All Might. He inhaled sharply.
"My name is Petrona; I am a spirit from long ago and Midoriya, I've been watching you for a long time." She explained with a smile. Actually now that Izuku had thought about it, that smile never left her face. It was a tight lipped smile, not showing any teeth.
From a long time ago? Had she been watching him- CONSTANTLY? Talk about stalker-ish. But it would make sense as to why she knew his name.
"Well you can stop watching me now. Nothing is happening. I've given up. My dream was pointless, I don't have a quirk and I never will. It was stupid for me to keep trying." He mumbled he dropped his hero analysis notebook onto the concrete floor. Tears sliding off his face.
"Well, you can't have given up that easily right?" She said, floating towards him. "I mean, resilience makes a great hero. Plus people will always bring you down. Why let them get to you now?" She asked.
He had no response. He clenched his fist gripping at the hem of his shirt.
"Because you know what! Screw what they say! Izuku Midoriya, you can be a hero! I believe in you!" She exclaimed.
