"Huff...huff..."

Gasping, you drag your beaten body toward a dark alley, blood dripping down the pavement. Your knees tremble with each step, it has been days since you last slept. You're starving, thirsty, your stomach is shouting at you to rummage through the trash for any food. The moment you reach the darkness of the alleyway, your knees collapse and you slump to the pavement, your body sliding down the wall.

You groan in pain as blood seeps from your wounds, staining your already-battered school uniform.

How many days since you've last eaten?

How many days since you've last slept?

When was the last time you got to enjoy the comfort of your bedroom?

When was the last time you sat at the dinner table, surrounded by your family?

How much longer will you have to suffer?

How much longer until everything goes back to normal?

"Damn it...." You groan in pain. Perhaps you won't need to suffer much longer.

[Last Name] [Name], that's your name. An ordinary, quirkless, 18 year old art student. You had read many books and stories before. Though, never had you imagine yourself living in one. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it would be if the genre of your current life is a slice of life. But instead of living in a shoujo, a detective mystery, or a pinkish magical girl anime, or an idol series, the genre you got was World-Apocalypse.

You had wished for a normal school life, and you received starvation, blood, injuries, and days of fleeing. How nice.

Japan, your home, was once the country of the Rising Sun. It was where the sun first touches the edge of the East, a symbol of clarity and renewal. And there was a time when it was famous for the beautiful, pink Cherry Blossoms that bloomed in Springs. It was the nation of the former Symbol of Peace. That's the Japan you grew up with. Proud, bright, and beautiful. Not...

....whatever this graveyard of a city.

Japan was once the place protected by the No.1 Hero, now, it's the kingdom of the Evils. The heroes are dead, people are dead, everyone is dead. Only villainy remains, and thriving. Instead of Cherry Blossom petals falling softly on your head, it's dead corpses pilling up at your feet now. For a country of the Rising Sun, there is no sun at all. Only dark clouds and the anguished screams for help.

When did it all go downhill? Maybe since the Kamino Incident? Or ever since All Might retire? War this, war that, war here and there. You don't know. But one thing you are sure, is that the cause of everything, is none other than All For One — the No.1 Villain.

AFO has always been a feared name for generations, a villain with a quirk that lets him steal other people's quirk. He is named the Symbol of Evil, making him All Might's arch nemesis. Heck, he's practically the ultimate enemy of the entire hero community. One can even say he's the foe of humanity. And you agree, that man is a threat to the world. A psycho is one thing, but a highly intelligent psycho with god-like power is another.

You hate— no, you despise him. How many people have fallen to his schemes? How many people have died under his hands? The numbers are in the millions, maybe even billions.
