MidoriIkaru
One More Step Forward follows Izuku Midoriya at the exact moment his life finally stops taking from him-and starts asking what he'll do with what he's been given. After years of believing he was Quirkless, surviving poverty, loss, and quiet despair, Izuku awakens a power that should never belong to one person: All In One, a Quirk that lets him copy, wield, and share the abilities of others. The power is overwhelming, brutal on his body, and anything but a miracle. Every step forward costs him pain, restraint, and hard-earned wisdom as he learns that strength without control only creates new kinds of damage.
With his past behind him and a promise to keep, Izuku chooses to move forward-one step at a time. As he enters U.A. University, he's no longer chasing a dream out of desperation, but out of purpose. He isn't trying to be the strongest hero in the room; he's trying to be the one who stays standing when things fall apart. This is the story of a boy who learned to survive first... and decided to become a hero second.
