Deku got tired of hiding all of his emotions under a mask. Tired of keeping a smile on his face despite being constantly beaten up and ridiculed. He'd kept his mask up for so long that it was fragile as glass. The day it broke was a tragic one for his old "friend" and mother, but became a beautiful opportunity for him. The villains saved him. The villains were his family. The villains helped him put on a different mask. He was getting back at all the people who'd ridiculed him... or was he? I'll try to put trigger warnings on specific chapters, but here are some general triggers that will be in most/all of them: strong language(mainly just cussing), attempted suicide/suicide mention, depressed thoughts/actions Cover art: credit to BlueWolfArtista on deviantart! I will eventually try to make my own cover, but for now I'm using his. If you know that he doesn't want me to use his art, message/comment it and I will gladly take it down. I don't want to have it there if he's uncomfortable with it.

When the world ends, their only hope is to send one Quirkless man back in time. Back in his 14-year-old body, will Midoriya Izuku be able to save the world that shunned him all his life? And will he finally be able to become a hero this go around? Good thing he had time as a vigilante to practice.

After being diagnosed quirkless, Izuku's father didn't take it too well. The stress grew too much for Inko. But one day, he just left. Izuku is scrambling for money to support his mother and himself. Now he's going to UA with his bestfriend and a skeptical Aizawa who loves his coffee. What an interesting life, can't get any more strange, can it? ⚠I DO NOT OWN "MY HERO ACADEMIA" THE CREATOR IS KOHEI HORIKOSHI!

Aizawa watched Izuku drink his black coffee, gazing absently out the window. The underground hero couldn't help but smirk, he looked forward to the effect beautiful, powerful, sassy Izuku would have on a pack of hormonal teenage hero wannabes. --- 15/11/2020 - DRAFTS OF FULL BOOK COMPLETED!! (Pending illustrations and heavy editing) Updated Wednesdays and Sundays Started March 2020, Completed June 2021 All artwork is my own, as is the plot (follows cannon major events initially though). I hold no rights to any aspect of Boku no Hero Academia...unfortunately. Swearing, sexual references, violence, boys being broken/bad at feelings/hopelessly in love/all three - warnings included. Izuku is pretty OOC, but remains a cinnamon roll of course. A very flirty, sassy, sexy one.

Abused, abandoned and rejected, Izuku Midoriya is tired of being treated like a subhuman due to his quirklessness. As the vigilante Zero, he vows to make a change in society and prove that quirkless doesn't mean worthless. But there's a long, difficult road ahead of him. ---- WARNING, THIS STORY WILL INCLUDE: -depression -suicide attempts/self-harm -abuse -bullying -mentions of rape -lots of swearing This story does NOT condone things like abuse, suicide, and self-harm.
