In the modest living room of the Midoriya residence, the essence of a hero's journey began to unfold. Inko Midoriya, a caring mother with warmth in her eyes, sat across from her young son, Izuku, who harbored dreams larger than life itself.

Inko Midoriya: "Izuku, my sweet boy, the doctor said you're quirkless. But that doesn't make you any less special, okay?"

Izuku Midoriya: "I know, Mom. I want to be a hero, and I don't care if I don't have a quirk. I'll find a way."

The room, adorned with hero posters, witnessed the first strokes of a dream that would define Izuku's growth. From a child filled with innocent aspirations to a determined pre-teen, the quirkless journey of Izuku Midoriya unfolded like the turning pages of a cherished storybook.

As a child, Izuku's room overflowed with heroes - posters of All Might, his idol, adorned the walls. Even without a quirk, his room became a sanctuary where dreams took flight. His eyes, wide with wonder, reflected the innocence of a child untouched by the harsh realities of the hero society.

The embrace of his mother, filled with unconditional love, became a refuge from the world that often measured worth by the presence of a quirk. Inko Midoriya's supportive words, spoken in the quiet moments between bedtime stories and dreams of heroism, instilled a sense of confidence in young Izuku.

Izuku Midoriya: "All Might was quirkless too when he was my age, right? He became the greatest hero. I can be like him, Mom. I can prove everyone wrong."

As Izuku transitioned to elementary school, the hero academia in his mind continued to flourish. The playground became a training ground, and his classmates, unwitting allies in this childhood odyssey, played roles in the nascent tales of heroism.

Yet, with the passage of time, the weight of societal expectations pressed upon Izuku's shoulders. The childhood innocence transformed into a resolute determination, a spark that refused to be extinguished. His room, now adorned with academic awards and sketches of hero costumes, became a visual narrative of growth.

The U.A. entrance exam, a pivotal moment in Izuku's journey, symbolized the bridge between childhood dreams and the daunting reality of the hero society. The hallway echoed with footsteps of potential heroes, each with their own quirks and aspirations. Izuku's gaze, now focused and determined, glimpsed a future that required not just dreams but tangible efforts to transcend the quirkless label.

Middle school arrived, bringing new challenges and friendships. Todoroki, Bakugo, Uraraka - each classmate became a character in the narrative of Izuku's growth. The corridors of learning became a canvas for the hero academia that unfolded within the halls of academia.

The heroes and villains introduced themselves through textbooks and lessons, and Izuku's notebooks became a testament to his dedication. Heroes like All Might and Gran Torino, whose stories fueled his determination, played mentor roles in his unfolding narrative.

Yet, even in the midst of triumphs, the specter of societal norms lingered. The quirkless boy, now navigating the complexities of middle school, faced not only physical challenges but also the skeptical gazes of those who couldn't fathom heroism without a quirk.

The Rise of Deku, as the quirkless boy was affectionately dubbed by his classmates, became a chant of resilience that echoed through the U.A. corridors. The hero academia that once existed within the confines of his room now expanded into a communal narrative, shaped by the interactions and relationships that defined his growth.

As Chapter 1 concluded, the living room, now a witness to the early chapters of Izuku's journey, retained the warmth of childhood dreams and the determination of a budding hero. The hero academia that began as a quirkless prelude was evolving, becoming a tale of growth, camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of a boy who refused to be defined by the absence of a quirk. The Rise of Deku, from childhood to middle school, laid the foundation for a hero's odyssey that would resonate through the annals of hero academia.
