Reborn for greatness

Not all men are born equal. That is what I feared when I first found myself being reborn in this world and I was dreading it for the first 4 years of my life because I was never really lucky in this life or the past life. I am pretty sure I spent all my luck on even getting reincarnated in the first place cause once I was brought into this world I was in for a rude awakening. That is if you don't count the realizing that fiction is infact real and the subsequent existential crisis that has plagued me since the moment I realized I don't have a defined purpose in life.

What is the meaning of life. It took some time to calm down and accept my new reality and adopt the outlook of optimistic nihilism. Nobody exist on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody is going to die. You have big IQ if you get that reference. So I choose to make the best of this new opportunity at living and it helped with the crippling anxiety that was fearing what my quirk would be or what it wouldn't be more specifically.

I remember reading some fanfics in the past life that would exaggerate the hell out of the treatment of quirkless people but it isn't far from the truth either as they are second class citizens that have difficulties finding jobs, getting education, and making relationships with people. Jobs are often taken by someone who has a quirk over someone who doesn't even if the quirk is useless for or even detrimental to doing their job. Education opportunities are often directed to the quirked especially if it has anything to do with improving your mental faculties, the quirkless often lose out and can't get much as it would be pointed towards someone more normal.

As for friendships well if you ever read the manga or watched the anime then you know the quirkless are looked down on and can't often make many friends because they are seen as waste. I seriously hate how the fact that Bakugo told Izuku to kill himself was swept completely under the rug, if the boy didn't have plot armor then he would have actually killed himself after his meeting with allmight. 20% of the population are quirkless but a majority of that are at least 20 and up as ages 10 and below have a quirkless rate of 3 maybe 2%. The only quirkless people that are mentioned in the series are Knuckleduster the vigilante who is an older man mind you, All Might who forgot his humble roots and left a suicidal quirkless kid alone on a rooftop, Melissa Shield from the movie who luckily grew up on I island a place that isn't very prejudiced and had her father who was also quirkless supporting her, then finally Izuku the protagonist who also took the first opportunity to not be a quirkless fuck the first chance he got.

5 people. Society is based on quirks. Laws are based on quirks. Life as this world knows it is based on quirks. One slight problem I had was just how fucking anal it is about laws on quirk usage like seriously using your quirk to do even something stupid like picking up a piece of trash can get you in trouble if the cop is having a particularly bad day and has it out for you. Like I said the laws are based on quirks but it was written by the quirkless at the time the laws were made meaning they tried to oppress them and they had to be revised at one point to make them softer but didn't get rid of them completely. People want to live in a orderly society in a chaotic world.

I actually looked into it at one point and checked the laws to see about something and I found out that segregation is legal again thanks to some of the loopholes in these laws but this time based on quirks rather than race or ethnicity. Not that I have seen any places that do it, maybe people just don't know.

I'm getting way off track. So I reincarnated into the world of my hero academia and was born into a really poorly off family and mom and dad were quirkless and didn't expect me to have one either. They were in a shitty situations in dead in jobs that found each other and decided to be miserable together so they can slightly less miserable. Misery loves company, anyways I was spooked because I thought I wasn't gonna have a quirk and end up having a shittier life than before until at age 4 11 months right when I was losing all hope for this life I suddenly went unconscious and when I awoke I found myself in a world of pain.
