MidoriIkaru
Izuku Midoriya never had the luxury of a normal childhood. He grew up in shelters, alleyways, and cramped back rooms where hope was a rumor and hunger was routine. He learned early that nobody was coming to save him and that survival meant grinding through every odd job he could find just to keep his mother alive one more day. And when she was gone, all he had left was the promise he made at her bedside-to stay kind, stay moving, and never let the world turn him cruel.
Then everything changed the day his Quirk finally appeared. Not strength. Not fire. Not speed. Something far more impossible: the ability to copy any Quirk he touched and keep it forever. One kid, every quirk. A power that shouldn't exist, in the hands of a boy who had nothing.
Izuku hides it, masters it, and slowly builds himself into something unrecognizable to the society that once ignored him. He works, trains, saves, adapts, and fights his way out of obscurity until fate throws him into the path of a coughing, exhausted, strangely skinny blond man who turns out to be All Might himself. What starts as a simple rescue becomes the turning point of Izuku's life-because All Might sees him, really sees him, and decides the boy with nothing is worthy of everything.
Adopted into the Yagi household and trained by the Symbol of Peace, Izuku enters U.A. not as a lucky underdog, but as a quiet storm waiting to break. With a quirk arsenal no one can explain, a past no one suspects, and a heart that refuses to stop helping, Izuku Midoriya-Yagi steps into hero society with one goal: to become a symbol built on compassion, grit, and the belief that anyone-no matter where they started-can rise.
This is not the story of a chosen one.
This is the story of a kid who chose himself.
One kid. Every quirk.
And a world about to change because of it.
