When All Might originally fought All For One, what if he didn't lose? What if All For One was defeated before he could reach Tomura? What if after that battle All Might was so severely injured that he couldn't be a hero anymore? What if Toshinori Yagi didn't need a successor?

'The world is dark and grim after All Might quit. The shadows have come out after he retired. Villains outnumber the heroes now. Crime fills the streets. There's no one to stop them... but me. Ever since that moment, it's all I think about. I've trained for years. After months of being Musutafu's shadow, they're starting to notice me. They call me the Batman. I don't need a name, all I need is their fear. I want to make an impact but they don't see it. They take inspiration from me, making crime rates rise. I want to say what I'm doing is good but what if it makes it worse?' Izuku said as he watched over the robbery in the distance. He knew the robbers might hurt people so he needed to move quickly despite his mental argument.

He pulled on his cowl and walked into the overarching shadow.

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.

"Do you think.... That I could be a hero too? Even... without a quirk?" "Without a quirk? Not happening, kid." All his life Izuku Midoriya dreamed of becoming a hero just like his biggest inspiration, All Might. It didn't matter if he was quirkless... Right? One day, the young boy got to meet his hero. He asks the question he'd been dying to ask, but afraid of knowing the answer nevertheless. The answer crushed him. That was the day he let go of his dreams. Izuku Midoriya, the quirkless loser. That's what he'd always be. No one believed in him anymore. Not even himself. Until... The league of villains offered him acceptance. They told him that he WAS good enough. But does Midoriya truly belong as a villain? It may be time for him to pick to side... COMPLETED/ August 14, 2019 !Trigger Warning! This story contains blood, violence, gore, strong language, and some sadistic stuff I guess? xD Read at your own risk! Cover image art isn't mine, however, I did do the editing for it! Also, the characters in this fanfiction aren't mine at all either! [Okay, so ships. There is Tododeku and Bakudeku in here. But to be clear, it's not a huge part of the plot so if you came here for it, you might be somewhat disappointed, which is why I'm saying it. I got rid of the tags for them cuz I didn't want to disappoint people but now people think this is a straight story somehow so I'm putting the tags back out to weed out the homophobes B)]
