Heroes are kind. Heroes save people. Heroes want to help people no matter what. Heroes are like All Might, smiling regardless of how a tough a fight is. Heroes, Izuku has learned, can also not be heroes at all. One article about a bad hero turns into four articles, then ten, then twenty and soon the whole country is reading about licensed villains playing at savior. Izuku writes them haphazardly, picking heroes whose wrong doings are masked by their fame. That is, until he meets Endeavor. In other words; the one where Izuku sees the fault in the hero system, makes it his mission to fix it with the help of one burnt fire-user vigilante, and eventually finds himself deeper in this mess than he originally planned. -:- Note this is a My Hero Academia fanfiction and any characters or aspects from the anime/manga belong to Kohei Horikoshi.

{{DISCONTINUED}} I gaze at the dark night sky, blinking as the stars wink at me. Everything is different now. I am not who I was. I am better. I am Midoriya Izuku, better known as Karma, your deadly neighborhood Vigilante and part time cinnamon roll.

Illusion, a name feared by criminals. A hero, in the eyes of the public. A vigilante in the name of the law. A friend. But who is Illusion? Izuku Midoriya, a child with a bright future A kid with a dream. A kid with hope. A kid, long dead. Who was Izuku Midoriya? In this world society is held up by nothing but an illusion. An illusion of happiness and hope, but just underneath the surface dwells chaos, regret, sorrow, and evil. Explore as illusion, the famed vigilante born in the light, raised in the darkness, struggles to keep the illusion of happiness there so no other kid will suffer like him, but can he do it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I do not own the cover photo, Nor do I own MHA, I just own the plot of this story! Mature for language. Also there will NOT be a ship if you want one, go somewhere else, just saying... but if you don't care thanks and enjoy this story

What if Izuku told All might no? What if instead he went off to take lots of martial arts classes and trained himself to get into UA without a quirk? What if while all of this he also becomes a part-time vigilante just to get in some practice? Join Izuku as he tries to prove he can be a hero too, while he avoids getting caught being Verde seeing the heroes who want to arrest him are his teachers. Although, technically, he isn't breaking the law seeing he is quirkless so, yeah. I will make Eraserhead and PresentMic suffer in this because I find it funny that a vigilante they are after is RIGHT under their noses. Mature due to Bakugou's non-stop cursing. aaannnnd, because there may be violence (fighting) in this story.... it's a hero story, there is bound to be some fighting in it.

What if when Izuku was a kid something huge happened. Something that seemed to pass by quickly to others but to him it stretched out for years and years? What if Izuku had a chance, one chance to be free? What if he wanted to be a hero? And he became a vigilante? What if he's able to trick Aizawa and Nezu (and the rest of the heroes?) What if he hid everything he knew and who he was? The LOV, AFO, UA, All Might, everyone is looking over one of his shoulders. How long can he shake them off for? What was he doing these days just for fun? There are no ships in this story. Updates may be scattered and I'll try to update as often as I can. I'll write everything and then come back and edit (maybe.) NONE OF THESE CHARACATERS BELONG TO ME. I own the plot for this plot specifically. This is my first fanfic that I've written. THE ART DOESN'T BELONG TO ME EITHER. Used to be called "WHAT YOU SEE... IT ISN'T ME" also on ao3 - same title, probably same username <3

Midoria Izuku always wanted to be a hero, but what if he finds out how corrupted the hero society in reality is? Izuku Midoria has always had the dream to save people, the urge to mean something to the world. He thought Allmight was the perfect example of what a hero should be, but that believe got shattered once he met the so called hero. The harsh words everyone had spat at him since he turned four got confirmed once again, this time by his biggest idol. At the age of thirteen the sad reality finally reached him, he was quirkless, in this society quirkless means useless. Does that mean he can't change the world, that's something only the future will tell. That's how his life in the grey starts, will it turn white, will it turn black or will it stay the same? Who knows. ~contains~ Swearing Bullying Criminal activities Non descriptive mentions of rape This is kinda inspired by 'The thin grey line' by Story_collector.

When Izuku was four years old he was told that he was quirkless and couldn't be a hero. Then his mother died, and he went missing. Six years later a vigilante showed up and protected everyone. He saved everyone, and became more famous than All Might. One day that vigilante disappeared for reasons unknown... What happened to him?... The man known as The Guardian... BEWARE OF LONG CHAPTERS, HORRIBLE ENGLISH AND SWEARING! I DO NOT OWN MY HERO ACADEMIA, BAKI OR FATE!

The world had always been unfair. Izuku knew that. But when his mom died, his childhood friend told him to kill himself, and his idol told him to give up on his dreams all in the span of a month, Izuku was done. He ran away. But what happens when he's confronted by a mysterious man? What happens if that man is a villain and tries to get Izuku to join them? Will he? Or will he not? (IzuOcha and Vigilante Izuku)

Izuku, more well known as Rabbit, is finally enjoying his life after years of hell. Now, he gets to save people like he always wanted and works at a nice café every day, what more could he want really? He soon finds out that he was missing a lot. It all changed the day that his favorite hero, Eraserhead, entered the café and fell in love with Izuku's coffee. Since then, life just keeps getting more interesting for the vigilante.

Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinsou are two boys aiming to be heroes. At least, they used to. Izuku always wanted to be a hero. But being quirkless, he was looked down upon, bullied, abused, and broken. At the age of 10, he had enough, so, he ran away. When Hitoshi got his quirk, he thought it was great! Perfect for being a hero. Although, people thought otherwise. His parents neglected him for his villainous quirk. He was bullied for it. One night, he found someone who would change his life. I don't own My Hero Academia or the cover art. I'm still a beginner too, soooooo ye!
