What does it truly mean to be a hero? To wholeheartedly dedicate yourself to a strong moral compass, upholding justice unwaveringly, and being willing to make personal sacrifices - not just for yourself but for the people you deeply care about - all in pursuit of doing what is right.
"Indeed, that is the essence of a hero - the willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice, even laying down their lives for others. But for me, that era of self-sacrifice is over. I can no longer stand by and give up everything for a world that fails to recognize the sacrifices made on its behalf. Instead, I shall be the catalyst for change, bringing justice to this unjust world through any means necessary, even if it means dismantling it to pave the way for a new one. No more tears, no more witnessing those dear to me perish. From now on, I will be their unwavering protector, no matter the cost. This is my solemn vow, as the symbol of Justice!"
In a world where Quirks have sparked an eternal battle between Heroes and Villains, what happens when a villain seeks redemption and chooses the path of heroism? Meet Hiro, burdened by Dissociative Identity Disorder, torn between his dream of being a hero and his tragic past as a science experiment. Wrestling with a psychotic alter ego, his journey of redemption will be challenging. As those around him undergo transformative changes, some for the better, others for the worse, the tale unfurls with elements of torment, love, death, and time travel. This gripping narrative transcends the conventional My Hero Academia storylines, exploring the blurred lines between heroism and villainy and the human psyche, in a world where anything can happen.

Ever since Izuku Midoriya joined U.A. High School and settled in, he knew that the League of Villains were after him and his quirk: One For All.
However, when the time comes when Bakugo is the target and is only seconds away from being captured, Midoriya throws himself in the chaos and ends up saving Bakugo, only at the cost of his own safety as he is captured instead.
Midoriya is brought back to the League of Villains' hideout and with him there, Shigaraki plans on changing the young boy's mindset and plans to use force against him.
When Midoriya isn't able to escape for three years and no one can seem to find him, he begins to lose hope and his wounds only bleed more. Even when he goes back in time with the help of a pro hero's quirk, he is diagnosed with depression and struggles to go on through life. He doesn't feel like himself. He needs someone. He needs someone so badly. But what if there isn't anybody to help Midoriya?
How will Midoriya cope when someone close to him dies right in his arms?
Warning! This story will contain depression, suicide talk, torture (not explained explicitly), violence, and a whole lot of angst!
Also, this story won't contain any ships. So, there isn't any BakuDeku, TodoDeku, etc., it's just a depressing story with Midoriya with his friends trying to change themselves to help him and their own selves in the future.
