Izuku Midoriya and his mother Inko Midoriya live in a small town named Kurasuwan that sits on the edge of a large forest. Vendors are selling their products left and right, thanks to the rush that goes on for one short month every year, this month is the only time people would be able to buy specific types of fruit that only grow in that very forest behind the town. 

The forest had never seemed like a scary place to Izuku, for, even in the dead of night when the moon couldn't be seen through the thick canopy of the towering trees and even the dimest of fireflies were nowhere to be found, the forest was still bright enough to see his hands swaying at his sides and the winding path infront of him. So walking through the forest now in broad daylight, with light from the sun filtering through the leaves was nothing to be scared of, and even when he came across a large glade with a strange man sleeping in the center of it, he could only be curious.

Even in the dark that forest wasn't frightening; however, sometimes it's not the dark that's scary.


The town, his home, his entire life, was now burning brighter than the sun, lighting up the smoke and ash-filled sky. Suddenly, the darkness seemed more welcoming than the light, because where there's smoke, there's fire, and fire lights up the night like nothing else.

《DISCLAIMER》
For one this story ain't great so go easy on me would ya, it's not my first time writing fanfics but it is my first time publicizing one of my stories. I've pre-written the first 5 chapters so keep that in mind if you have any ideas on things that could happen in the story(which are 100% welcome). This story will follow Izuku's timeline of events, meaning if he doesn't know something you won't either. I mean you can make theories which would be fun to read, but I personally won't be giving you any direct answers until Izuku figures them out. I also will not be writing smut, but it may be implied. I plan on updating weekly, and I hope ya'll en

Every family member has a story of betrayal that has left behind a scar that continues to fester. I am no exception. The world is cruel. I have always believed that. But then these people I keep meeting challenge that. My friends who have stayed when others have left me behind during my darkest years. The Symbol of Peace who's smile purges the shadows like I've never seen. A teacher who's scowl is warmer than the sun. And then this . . . blonde . . . red eyed boy. He is the most peculiar, even with his loudness. Perhaps this time around my life and that of my family will finally have some stars to see. °☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆ Disclaimer: This story includes mature scenes, mentions of abuse, self harm, gore, self hate, rape/sexual abuse.

WARNING: Viewer discretion advised. This story contains descriptions of murder, suicide, sex, and other mature content. Spoilers also ahead. ~~ What if Deku wasn't born quirkless? What if the reason for Katsuki's hurtful words had to do with the dark past Inko desperately tried to keep hidden from the outside world? What if becoming a hero wasn't the answer after all? ~~ My eyes widen. "I've decided. Young man, you will inherit my quirk." I let out a sigh of relief, laying down on the ground as my anxiety fades. I'm overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down my face as my body is overcome with brutal exhaustion. I don't plan on using this power to become a hero, but All Might doesn't need to know that. I can't think of being a hero, or anything else for now. I need to get stronger, even stronger than my father. Wait for me mom, Kacchan, I'm coming. ~~ After that night, things only became harder for Izuku. The mental pressure was too much, to the extent that it took an unhealthy turn. Izuku could barely handle the pressure of having no one to rely on, torn between becoming a hero and being taught how to assassinate by the killer of heroes. It wasn't long before his sanity began to split. ~~ "It's okay. Honestly, you're the first person I've met who doesn't think my quirk is more suited to become a villain.." Shinsou said. After spending so much time with villains, I no longer thought of the word the same. "If you ask villains their story, you'll probably think they'd make pretty good protagonists. We always see things from the hero's perspective but we rarely ask how the villain ended up the way they are. The heroes are the real villains if you ask any villain, and even villains can be a hero to someone." ~~ I killed someone. I know he deserved it, yet I still couldn't look down at my own hands the same. Dried blood covered the bandages I wore around my wrists when I train with Stain. I had no choice but to accept it. I became a hero killer.

tododeku (depressed villain deku x todoroki). --------------------------- "Someday someone will break you so bad you become unbreakable" Izuku Midoriya had a bright future, a loving family, and many friends. That is what someone looking from the outside and knowing nothing about him would say. What happens to him behind closed doors is a completely different story. One he would do anything to rewrite. His life completely changed in the space of six months. Leaving so many questions unanswered. Why did this happen to him? Did he do this willingly? Did he kill all those people? Even his mother? Although he made some bad decisions in his life, he is willing to change if it means he can find love. But will those feelings be reciprocated to a villain? These questions and more will be answered. (Please read chapter 0 before preceding through the rest of the book)
