"I'm not a hero, that's for sure."
***
Midoriya Izuku gave up on the dream of being a hero long ago. No Quirk. No power. No chance. Instead, he resigned himself to a life of quiet solitude, far from the battles that shaped the world.
Or so he thought.
Fate, however, had other plans. No matter how far he ran, how deeply he buried his past, the call of destiny was relentless. Because some people aren't born to be heroes-they are forged in the fire of necessity.
And he was born for one purpose.
To give the world...
Peace.
***
"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect the ones I love. Even if it means becoming the very thing I once feared."

Azrael (Vigilante Deku)
Izuku Midoriya had everything a 4-year-old child could wish for. He had a family, a home and a quirk that was like no other. Thanks to a tragic and very bloody night, he was left with nothing then his own memories of a happy past and his quirk to protect himself. He quickly found out that people are looking at him because of his quirk. All the people ever wanted was his quirk and not him. Years pass, and the little green bean learned to trust no one but himself. If one was to ask him what was his quirk, he would say he was quirkless. It was only a protection measurement he found out to be necessary. After all, a quirkless life was better than a life in a laboratory. One day he was fortunately enough to meet the number 1 hero and could finally ask him the question of his life. What will however happen if the symbol of peace gives him an answer he has never though he would hear? More importantly, what will he do once he finds out he still has family out there? Will Izuku be able to find them? And what will poor Izuku think about his new family? Will they be able to save him from himself? Let's find out!

Izuku And His Laws (Rewrite)
*Izuku Midoriya was born with Archikinesis-a quirk that defied all expectations. Each dawn brought a different fundamental force under his command: fire, gravity, time, space itself. His power shifted with the sunrise, making him unpredictable and misunderstood.* *At his old school, this ever-changing ability made him a target. Bullied relentlessly by his childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo, Izuku endured years of torment until he finally reached his breaking point. When the cruelty became too much to bear, he and his mother made a fresh start in Musutafu, closer to his dream school: U.A. High.* *Now Izuku trains relentlessly to master each law that comes his way. Guided by a mysterious wheel of power that manifests behind him-a visual representation of his quirk's true potential-he transforms what others saw as weakness into ultimate strength. Through martial arts, strategic thinking, and an unshakeable will to help others, he forges his own path to heroism.* *In a world that values consistency and predictability, Izuku will prove that adaptability is the greatest power of all. He won't just follow the traditional rules of heroism.* *He'll rewrite them, one law at a time.* --- "All of My Hero Academia belongs to Horikoshi, while everything else is my own. this is my first fanfic, so thank you & enjoy!"
When darkness embraces the light - Mha Fanfiction
Izuku Midoriya was always told he was worthless. A boy without a Quirk, without a future, without a place to belong. But someone saw value in him. Not as a hero. Not as a person. But as something to be owned, shaped, and broken. Pain became familiar. Fear became routine. The world outside blurred into something distant, something that no longer felt real. But then-he was taken back. Not freed. Not truly. Because the body heals, but the mind does not forget so easily. Because even in safety, the echoes of hands that once held him down still linger. Because how do you return to a world that left you behind? Yet, in the midst of it all, hands reach for him. A family not by blood, but by choice. People who do not expect him to heal overnight-only to keep breathing, keep going, keep living. And maybe, just maybe, that will be enough. Uploading on Saturday (currently on a short hiatus)
The Fire That Made Me (Izuocha) (Collaboration with : @UmmeZainab4)
Izuku Midoriya was born with a combination of his mother's small telekinesis and his dad's fire breathing quirks, and merged into a very powerful pyrokinesis. But it's more complicated, it's connected to his emotions, if he got to excited in any way, his whole body will catch on fire. People around him are scared of him and ridicule him for it. Even Bakugou doesn't want to be around him. He just decides to distance himself from everyone, until in the 1st grade a certain bobbed haired gravity girl greets him. This is my first fanfic. I'm not confident in my my writing ability. So if you have something to say about my writing ability, shut it. I do not own My Hero Academia or its characters. I'm just borrowing these characters for entertaining purposes.Complete
Reality's Hero: Izuku Visionary Rise
"A boy who can create anything... except emotion." In a world where imagination births heroes and monsters alike, Izuku Midoriya was born different. Not quirkless - but emotionless. A rare neurological disorder called alexithymia left him unable to feel fear, joy, or even compassion. To him, heroism isn't passion - it's calculation. At age four, his quirk awakened. The world called it impossible. The Hero Commission called it dangerous. "Imagination." A power that bends the very fabric of existence - allowing Izuku to manifest anything he envisions. Steel mountains, cloned armies, erased gravity - his mind dictates reality itself. But while others would lose themselves to madness or fear, Izuku's cold logic keeps his universe intact. His lack of emotion is his shield - and his curse. Now, at U.A. High, Izuku stands apart from the hopeful heroes around him. He doesn't dream of saving people for admiration. He acts because it's efficient. Logical. Correct. Yet, as his powers evolve, so does the risk - for every thought he imagines has the potential to rewrite the world itself. And in his quiet mind, something stirs... A whisper of feeling he cannot define. A fragment of imagination that might just be - a heart.
Next Stop... World Domination!

He had after all a society backing him up and a Rat-Satan aka Rat god of UA or otherwise known as Nezu at his side. No one and nothing can stop him from getting the power he needs to change the world for the better. Next step World domination! You better be prepared! A/N: This is a mha fanstory hope you enjoy!
