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.

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.

"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)]
