Desperate for money to save his sick daughter, Izuku Midoriya is convinced by the show's ruthless producer to enter the game as a last resort. Ratings soon skyrocket as Izuku's defiance, instincts and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite, as well as a threat to the entire system.

'The Running Man is a popular legalised manhunt broadcasted by The Network.' ----- You, (Y/N) Killian, are one of the many Hunters on The Network's most popular brutal game show, 'The Running Man', focusing on chemical deployment as your weapon of choice. This gave you the nickname 'Hazmat'. Purely due to your parentage of having the almighty Dan Killian as your biological father, the show's ratings became increasingly high compared to their other shows. But, amongst the prone-to-poverty audiences and your fellow peers, there is a mystery that swims deep; the truth behind your gender that you keep anonymous due to safety precautions. You were the face of the franchise. Once you have returned from achieving an undergraduate chemistry degree in New York City and came back onto the show after your absence between seasons, you realise that a certain masked man has taken your position as the figurehead. That man was Evan McCone, a former contestant on The Running Man and the only genuine winner, surviving the full thirty days without being exterminated and being rewarded with the billion. Right now, you both feel the same hatred for one another based on personal values and experiences. But halfway through the new season, perspectives change and new feelings erupt.

Caught in poverty, the people have nothing left to do other than sign up for game shows for money. One in particular, the most dangerous but the most reward if won...The running man. Evan McCone x reader
