(A rewrite of my Shadow Monarch Hero: Deku fic) 25 years ago, rifts between dimensions, called Gates, began to appear, spewing forth monstrous beasts that only Awakened Humans, or Heroes could fight. But not all Heroes are born equal and Izuku Midoriya knows this better than anyone else. Not just because he was born the weakest, but because he became the strongest. He became a king, or rather... a Monarch. (Crossover of My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi and Solo Leveling by Chugong) Feel free to join my discord and hang out! https://discord.gg/9MRQXxHhAJ

In this timeline, Izuku Midoriya was born with the Gum Gum quirk, which allows him to stretch and blow up his body at will. In the beginning, he thinks it's useless until he reads a manga called Two Piece. When he read it, he realised that the main character had a similar power to him and then drew inspiration from it. Unfortunately, the mangaka had to put the book on hold due to it not selling but little did he know, he gave the future number one hero inspiration.

"I have found you to be worthy of being my successor." Naruto Uzumaki was a boy who was snubbed and looked down upon for his entire life. For him to be acknowledged by someone like the Sage... "You will be strong enough to achieve world peace..." ...to say it was an honour would be an understatement. "What is your answer to my request?" The choice was obvious. He would not fail. Naruto Uzumaki comes across a sacred blade dating back to the era of the Sage of Six Paths and encounters the legend himself, who sealed a fragment of his soul in the artifact millenia ago. Changes to the canon story include (but are not limited to): Sasuke gaining a twin, the sword mentioned in the above paragraph, new arcs, reworked jutsu/ chakra mechanics, Naruto has a lot more common sense. I don't own (most of) the characters I don't own the cover (IIAetherVentusII does) (The OC's are mine, even if I've taken inspiration from others)
