Death Is Not An Escape [2.0]

Izuku Midoriya had always dreamed of having a quirk of his own. In his quest to obtain one, he delved into the origins of quirks and uncovered much more than he anticipated. His research into the supernatural led him to discover a being that predates quirks, known only as the Entity.

On the worst day of his life, Izuku found a glimmer of hope and decided to take a leap of faith, disappearing into a realm of shadows. This was a place where the most wretched souls gathered, trapped in a twisted existence where they hunted the powerless who also found their way into this madness. Forever doomed to play horrifying games of cat and mouse for the Entity, these lost souls were consumed by their fears, hopes, and fruitless dreams of escape, leaving the Entity always wanting more.

Izuku would eventually return, wielding unimaginable power, but such power comes with a steep price. What stared back at him through the mirror would not always be his true self.
