If there's one thing Izuku never imagined becoming after losing One For All, was to be forgotten. Now a professor at U.A. High, he spends his days teaching and his nights haunted by the life he left behind. He tells himself the quiet is enough, but the ache of his past-of failed dreams, lost purpose, and a failed relationship with his best friend that crumbled under the weight of their differences-refuses to fade. When a stranger steps out of the shadows with an offer Izuku can't ignore, he's thrust into a hidden world of corruption and power. Beneath the polished hero rankings and dazzling debuts lies a web of lies spun by the Hero Commission and government officials-a system built on control, manipulation, and sacrifice. As Izuku uncovers the truth, his world begins to crumble. Faced with a choice between the life he's built and the chance to truly make a difference, Izuku must decide: will he cling to the legacy of the hero he once was, or risk everything to fight in the shadows?

Theo Moretti, a 27 years old feared and emotionless mafia enforcer, lives a life of violence, control, and isolation.. Peter Antonio is 18 but seems younger. An autistic. He lives in a world of his own, filled with colors, textures, and imaginary friends. He's non-verbal on some days, overstimulated on others, and always unapologetically himself. To Theo, Peter is confusing. To Peter, Theo is terrifying-but interesting. Their journey is not easy. Various threats, sudden ambushes and loss of more strength. But they hold on to each other like an anchor. Believing it will end and they can live happily ever after. But only one thing matters. As long as Peter Antonio is by his side, he will burn the whole world for him. Just to see the boy's smile. His giggles. His passion of drawing. MLM
