Just how bad could it be if one small change was added to Izuku Midoriya?
When suffocated by the Sludge Villain years ago, an impairment of the area in his brain that produces 5% of the body's serotonin* occurred. He's placed on medication to ease the symptoms of his condition, Serotonin Deficiency, though not much comes from it. Energy-depleting side effects, overwhelming amounts of pressure, and shortening limits gnaw away at his potential and mental health.
Though, that's not the only thing that aims to turn everything upside down. One day, a man puts a package in Inko's hands, requesting it to be given to her son. Once the contents and the sender become a reoccurring mystery, questions and questions pile up, and life begins draining like sand through Izuku's fingers. Head aching and hope running dry, it's only a matter of time before things quickly cross the line, and turning back is no longer an option.
*Serotonin is a chemical responsible for controlling mood, attention, sleep, and pain. (5% of which produced in your brain.)

(4/21/21)- I am still continuing this story. Don't mind the length between now and the release date of the last chapter. I am back and working to get this and possibly another chapter out shortly.)
××ALL ART, INCLUDING THE COVER, IS MINE××
WARNING: Very graphic. Like, very. Probably shouldn't read if you are very squeamish or don't like death in general. There are also a lot of potential triggers in this, including suicidal thoughts and actions and overall violence.
This is a remake of an old story that sucked a s s..
All announcements are located in Chapter 0.
Don't know much about the publishing schedule. Things are a bit crazy rn, but I'll publish as soon as I can.
Please dont forget to vote and comment, let me know if you enjoy it or not! :p
Izuku Midoriya was diagnosed quirkless in a world where that means he is treated as barely human. He's learned to pretend to be happy. He endures an abusive mother and constant bullying, he clings desperately to the chance he might be a late bloomer.
