In a world defined by quirks, one boy was born without one. Tanaka Renjiro, cousin to Izuku Midoriya and childhood friend of Katsuki Bakugo, never dreamed of becoming a hero. He wanted to write stories, design games, and live quietly. But fate had other plans. At seven years old, Renjiro was abducted by a shadowy government faction and subjected to brutal experiments. He returned days later, bloodied and smiling, carrying powers that defied classification - not a quirk, but something artificial, something engineered. His body became a vessel of impossible forces, his mind scarred by trauma, manipulation, and hypnotic restraints. Now, as Midoriya begins his journey at U.A. High, Renjiro lingers at the edges of the stage. Detached, playful, and often emotionless, he cross-dresses with deliberate ambiguity, treating life as a performance. Though his psyche teeters on the edge of instability, he chooses - against all odds - to pursue the role of a hero. Not because he believes in justice, but because of faint childhood memories, his cousin's dream, and a boredom that demands purpose. This is the story of a boy who should have been a villain, who knows he was made into something monstrous, but who insists on walking the path of a hero anyway. Brutal, extreme, and unsettling, Renjiro's journey will test the meaning of heroism itself - and force the world to confront what lies beyond quirks.

She pauses before whispering, "You know exactly who this is..." She unties the cloth around my eyes and honestly.... I wish she remained mysterious... ☆The end for now...☆ ;)♡

SYNOPSIS Revya Singhania was the golden girl. Top grades. Perfect posture. Controlled temper. The kind of daughter who never embarrassed the family name. Until one terrace video changed everything. Accused of pushing her cousin's girlfriend, Revya is quietly removed from the house she grew up in and sent to live alone "for space." No shouting. No public drama. Just a silent verdict delivered across a dining table. Exile wrapped in politeness. At St Andrew's, she expects judgment. Instead, she finds noise. Riya and Simran with their unfiltered loyalty. Aarav and Neil, chaotic but strangely perceptive. And Tavish - calm, observant, unsettlingly honest - the only person who says, "I believe you," without hesitation. As Revya rebuilds herself in an apartment that once felt watchful and empty, she learns that independence isn't loud. It's checking your own locks. It's not calling home when you're scared. It's surviving dinner without shrinking. But the past doesn't disappear just because you change buildings. Her family still watches. Old wounds still sting. And somewhere between terrace accusations Revya begins to ask the question she's avoided her entire life: What if I was never the problem? This is not a story about revenge. It's about unlearning silence. About finding people who stay. About realizing that home isn't the place that measures you - it's the place that lets you breathe. And sometimes, healing starts with refusing to shrink.
