'Pathetic' a certain green-haired boy thought as he soullessly stared at the huge flat screen built into one of the city buildings. The screen showed a hero and a villain going one-on-one in a serious battle. The villain's suit was messed up and ripped to pieces while the hero was a skinny old man.
"All MIGHT!"
"DON'T GIVE UP!"
The people shouted as they cheered with all their strength. It was to be expected, though. The villain stood toe-to-toe with the number 1 hero, All Might. Why would people not be cheering? With tears in their eyes, people from all over Japan shouted with all their might hoping that their hero would win...
except for one person.
Izuku Midoriya, one of the few that are quirkless in this quirk-dominate world, watched the fight and actually felt happy All Might was receiving this beating. Izuku used to idolize All Might until the very same idol he looked up to, crushed his dreams of becoming a hero.
"If you want to be a hero, you should try becoming a Police officer. A quirkless boy can't become a true hero. That's just how the world works now." he remembered the words perfectly as if it happened just yesterday.
After that day, Izuku has hated the Symbol of Peace and just wished he could be erased from the world. His only dreams crushed by the person he once idolized. That's why he stared at the screen with blank eyes filled with hatred.
'Die' he thought to the screen trying to curse the hero.
All Might's hand used every last bit of strength to form a muscular arm and charged at the villain. The villain's arm enlarged and aimed it at All Might. He managed to dodge it and then he charged straight towards the villain, punching his face into the pile of rubble behind them. When All Might's fist came into contact with the villain's face, a huge, powerful gust of wind dispersed like a tornado.
Silence engulfed everyone as they waited for what would happen next. The Symbol of Peace raised his fist and everyone cheered.
'Tch. Heroes always win. I knew it was going to happen. What was I even expecting.'
Then the unexpected happened.
As everyone cheered for the exhausted hero on the flat screen, black ooze covered the fallen villain man. Before everyone knew it, he sunk into a black portal on the ground. All Might realized, but it was too late. He punched the ground in desperation until his fists bled and though it couldn't be heard from the flat screen, the people felt him screaming.
A vile smirk formed on Izuku's face. The villain shattered the hero's mind and will. Everyone around Izuku felt terrified. Their hero was already weakened and a dangerous villain was still on the loose. It was a horrible night.

It took some time for the people to calm down after the brawl that happened earlier that night. By the time it was completely over, Izuku had already started heading home. He was in a good mood because he witnessed All Might being crushed, humiliated, and weakened. How he wished he could hear All Might scream. He bet that it was the same scream his heart made when he heard he couldn't become a hero: a scream of utter pain and disbelief.
Izuku hated heroes and quirks. His childhood friend was nice and kind until he received a powerful quirk and when the word got around that Izuku quirkless, he became a victim of bullying from his "childhood friend". That same friend received praise for his quirk from Pro heroes which made him aspire to be one.
Society ignored the weak like Izuku and praised the strong like his friend.
Izuku then heard a sound from the alley he just walked past. He turned back to check what it was. When he did, he saw a slight shift in the shadows.
"Is someone there?" he asked. Suddenly, he felt the urge to go closer to whatever it was. He noticed his feet were moving on their own. Izuku saw what was there. Or specifically WHO was there.
It was the same man that fought All Might. The man in the suit. The man with the strange quirk.
"Hello young one," he said in a weak voice. The man was all busted up with bruises and cuts and scratches all over his body. Instead of saying 'nope' and running away, Izuku responded kindly.
"Hello, sir." The man had no eyes and a mask covering his mouth...if he even had one.
"I sense hatred aura coming from you. Mind telling me why?" he asked, and before he knew it, Izuku was telling the stranger his whole life story. He told him everything from the bullying to his hatred towards All might and that he wished the villain won the battle against All Might.
"You wanted me to win?" he asked in a surprised tone.
"Yes, I did. It's because I want to see All Might suffer. He once said that Pros risk their lives fighting evil. I want to see him die doing that." Izuku answered honestly.
"I'll be honest, young man. I've been using my quirk on you to know your intentions. I felt strong hatred coming from you and thought you might be suitable to continue my will.
"Your quirk? I thought your quirk was shooting those shockwaves though," he said confused.
The man chuckled. "I have multiple quirks because of my main quirk 'All For One'. It allows me to steal quirks." Izuku looked at the man with a shocked look.
"But...that's impossible," he said. "And yet here I am. It's the only thing keeping me alive, despite my injuries."
Izuku then paused for a while then realized something.
"What will you gain by telling me this?" he asked. "I will die soon because my injuries are too much and this body can no longer support them. I want you to continue my will" he said in a raspy voice. The end was nearing him.
"What's your will?" Izuku asked. "To destroy this society of heroes. To show that everything will be better living under one superior leader." The man said as he let out a laugh then a cough.
Izuku couldn't believe it. The same man that went toe-to-toe with All Might was offering him unimaginable power. The power to bring down All Might from his high horse and basically rule the world.
"You're All For One, right? I'm Izuku Midoriya. I'm sick and tired of this world. Sick and tired of heroes. Sick and tired of people in general. I will continue your will." Izuku told the man.
The man used just about the rest of his strength and pulled out a knife from his suit pocket.
"My quirk is an evil one. It was meant for villains. As one of the Ten Commandments of the Christian religion states, 'Thou shall not steal' and yet my quirk allows me to steal the identity, the very thing that makes a person a person: Their quirk. The only way to obtain my quirk is to kill me." All For One explained.
"Kill you? Then wouldn't All Might get it since you're already almost dead from that battle?"
"No. I have to be killed willingly." He said. "I know my quirk very well because I've lived with it for decades. Now you will hold this valuable quirk and do your job."
Izuku's eyes turned soulless and blank as All For One handed the green-haired boy the knife in his hand. He positioned his hand holding the knife around All For One's neck.
"I believe you can become a villain, Izuku."
And with those last words, the boy slit his throat
