This is what if Izuku has a "Story" quirk that allowed him to harness abilities based on stories he's read, it would make him incredibly versatile but also require deep knowledge and understanding of the stories he pulls from.
Hero Name:Chronical
Quirk: Story Craft
Description: Izuku gains powers related to the story he's read once he understands its core themes, characters, and abilities.
Limitation: He must deeply analyze the story, which takes time, and can only harness one story’s power at a time. He can store knowledge of many stories but must consciously switch between them.
Weakness: If he doesn't fully grasp the story or if it’s incomplete, the powers may backfire or manifest in an unstable way.
Examples of Story Powers:
1. Greek Mythology (Hercules): He could gain enhanced strength similar to Hercules, but only for tasks that require incredible endurance or resilience, much like the Labors of Hercules.
2. Sherlock Holmes (Mystery/Intellect): Izuku's intellect would skyrocket, allowing him to deduce situations, spot details others miss, and plan strategies with brilliant foresight.
3. Fantasy Stories (Magic/Elemental Power): From magical stories, he could wield elemental magic or summon creatures, but these powers are limited by the rules of the story, such as needing spells or incantations.
4. Samurai/Warrior Epics (Swordsmanship): He could master swordsmanship or martial arts from historical stories, becoming a precise and disciplined fighter.
~One Shot~
The entrance exam was chaos. Giant robots tore through the simulated city, sending debris flying, but Izuku Midoriya wasn’t shaken. Today wasn’t just about passing—it was about proving his abilities. He had trained for this moment, and now, armed with his quirk, Story Weaver, he was ready to show the world what he could do.
As the starting buzzer rang, Izuku’s mind sharpened. He activated his quirk, pulling from the tale of Perseus. His body became lighter, his reflexes quicker, and he dashed forward, weaving between students with ease. The first wave of robots appeared—three three-pointers, lumbering toward him with lasers charging.
Izuku didn’t hesitate. Summoning Perseus’ legendary shield, he deflected the blasts, sending them back into the robots with precision. Each explosion earned him points as the machines crumbled.
Three down. More to go.
Izuku felt the adrenaline course through his body. He was confident, in control. This wasn’t the nervous boy he used to be—he was someone who believed in his strength.
More robots arrived—a mix of two-pointers and one-pointers—attempting to surround him. Izuku switched to the tale of Achilles, his skin hardening like impenetrable armor. Missiles and bullets glanced off him harmlessly as he tore through the wave of machines. His punches crushed their cores with ease, each destroyed bot adding to his score.
More points. I’m getting closer.
As Izuku darted through the city, his score steadily climbed—20 points, then 40. He wasn’t just matching the other students; he was pulling ahead.

Another wave of robots emerged, this time six of them—two three-pointers and four two-pointers. Izuku smirked, quickly shifting stories to the tale of Theseus, the hero known for his cunning in battle. His movements became swift and precise, dodging attacks with effortless grace. He took down the first two machines in seconds, then leapt into the air to destroy the rest with a series of powerful blows.
By the time he landed, his score had surged past 70 points. He could hear the chatter around him—other students in awe of how effortlessly he was handling the robots. But he wasn’t done.
Suddenly, a scream pierced through the battlefield. A girl was trapped under debris, her eyes wide with panic. Without a second thought, Izuku switched stories again—this time calling upon the strength of Hercules. His muscles bulged with power as he rushed to her side, lifting the massive rubble with ease.
It was Ochaco Uraraka, and her expression shifted from fear to shock as she realized who had saved her.
“Are you okay?” Izuku asked, his voice calm, but filled with confidence.
She nodded, unable to find the words to speak, and Izuku smiled before sprinting off again. He wasn’t just racking up villain points—his rescue points were building as well.

Then, the ground shook. A deafening roar announced the arrival of the towering Zero Pointer. The massive robot loomed over the battlefield, its shadow casting darkness over the remaining students. Most began to flee, but not Izuku. His heart raced, not with fear, but with excitement.
This is it. Time to finish strong.
Izuku tapped into the tale of Beowulf, drawing on the power of the giant-slayer. His body surged with raw strength, muscles coiling as he launched himself toward the Zero Pointer. The robot swung a massive arm, but Izuku easily dodged, channeling the cunning of Odysseus to move with perfect agility.
He leapt onto the robot’s arm, sprinting up its metallic frame with precision. When he reached the head, he summoned Thor’s hammer, a crackling energy construct that pulsed with thunderous power. With one final, mighty swing, he smashed the hammer into the robot’s head, sending it crashing to the ground.
The impact echoed across the battlefield as the Zero Pointer crumbled into a heap of scrap metal. Izuku landed softly on the ground, breathing steadily as the dust settled around him.
---
When the exam ended, the results were clear: Izuku Midoriya had scored 100 points—one of the highest in UA history. He had shattered expectations, earning a near-perfect combination of rescue and villain points.
Standing among the wreckage, Izuku smiled to himself. He hadn’t just proven himself capable of being a hero—he had proven that with Story Weaver, he could create his own legend.
