This world is a peculiar one. Long ago, Something happened with humans. Nobody knows what caused it. all we know is what it did. It made the impossible possible. Fantasy became reality. Truth and fiction merged together.
Quirks is the name given to this phenomenon. At first, it was something as simple as being able to change your hair color or you would simply glow. but now things are different. it's been nearly 200 years since the first quirks manifested in humans.
The longer we lived with these 'Quirks' the more powerful they became. It may seem like this brought nothing but good. If only that was the case. The rise of these powers lead some to use their gifts for their own selfish desires. At first, nobody dared stand in the way of these men and women. who could dare challenge the immense power they held?
eventually, some grew tired of the lawless state their homes were in. they decided that enough was enough. They became the first real 'Heroes' of this era. Now, they're called vigilantes. As time went on, and various societies began to integrate Quirks with everyday life, the vigilantes faded into near extinction. Heroes replaced them, and branded the vigilantes criminals. They went into hiding, biding their time as generations passed. training their children to follow in their footsteps. The year is now 2XXX, and vigilantes are as rare as they've ever been before. All except one. Nobodies ever seen them. not the people they've saved, the villainess and thugs they've apprehended, the heroes who've been sent to arrest them. They only know their moniker. Deku, 'Good for nothing'.
Nothing is known other than that name.

Quirk: Unknown (Believed to be a physical enhancement type)

Real Name: Unknown

alignment: Unknown

Age: Unknown

Gender: Unknown

Who is this 'Deku'? What are their goals? Who's side are they on? Guess there's only one way to find out.

Or, so he thought. What if one day, he had enough of everyone telling him he couldn't do it, couldn't become a hero? What if he took the advice of one of his bullies to, "Take a swan dive off the roof of the building, and hope for a quirk in your next life!"? The world was so much harsher then, only 5% of people in Japan were quirkless, and that's only because they are the percent that survived past 15. However, what if, when he was falling and about to hit the ground, he just, vanished? Simply glitched out of existence? Became an Error in the code? What if, he unlocked his quirk, and lost his memory along the way? How could our once innocent broccoli boy, turn into a cussing, glitching, Haphephobic living meme? Why don't we find out~? I do not own anything in this book except the story, quirks, and things like that, characters and art belong to their respective creators. Enjoy, and as always~ May the moon guide and protect you.

Everyone thinks Izuku is quirkless... even himself. When All Might crushes Izuku's dreams of becoming a hero, Izuku shuts himself into his house for a year, and emerges with a newfound quirk, a lesson in confidence, and a powerful body. His quirk, Primal Instinct, lets him access his primal cat ancestors to transform into a wide range of felines - from your regular housecat to a full grown big cat. Now with a quirk, can Izuku become a hero? Can he overcome the pressure and obstacles?
