Story Description:
Izuku Midoriya awakens in his childhood bedroom-only it isn't a dream, and it isn't the present. Somehow, he has fallen back into the past, into the narrow walls of his middle-school years, carrying memories far too heavy for the body of a boy who hasn't yet grown into his scars. The reincarnated legacy of both Uchiha Itachi's quiet, devastating brilliance and Goku's boundless, overwhelming power now rests within him, simmering beneath his ribs like twin suns.
This time, he refuses to be the trembling shadow trailing behind Katsuki Bakugou. He refuses to let the betrayal of his ex-girlfriend, Ochako Uraraka, fester in him without balance-not when karma has its own way of circling back. Their actions once crushed him; now, they will have to face the person their choices helped shape.
Mineta's mysterious off-screen death becomes the first ripple in the timeline's fragile surface, proving that this world is no longer following the script he remembers. With danger threading through even the smallest decisions, Izuku steps carefully-yet boldly-toward a future he intends to command.
Surrounded by his towering, fiercely devoted girlfriends-who sense the shift in him long before he speaks it-Izuku feels romantic tension simmering beneath every shared glance, every too-long pause, every almost-confession. But he refuses to rush. Power without control is destruction, and love without clarity is just another battlefield.
As he navigates school days with a calm intensity that unsettles Katsuki, and a distant, unreadable gaze that leaves Ochako aching with questions, Izuku must confront old wounds, new desires, and the gravity of second chances. A kiss may spark. A date may unfold. But deeper than all that is the slow-burn introspection-his reckoning with who he was, who he became... and who he intends to be now that destiny has given him one final rewrite.
Only the embers of his past self remain.
The rest, he will forge anew.
