Heroes and villains. Two sides of the same coin. When one has experienced pain and suffering at the hands of one, they're driven to become the opposite. So when fate has given the opportunity to exact vengeance on those who have wronged them, will they be able to resist the temptation? Do they even want to? And when another has been given a chance at success, will they be able to live up to their own ideals? Or will it only bring about their own destruction?

In a world where All Might is retired and All For One defeated, the world has been without its Symbol of Peace and Justice for 5 years. Izuku Midoriya, having been given the chance of a lifetime when gifted One For All, strives to become as great a hero as his mentor once was. But as his life enters a new chapter with his acceptance into UA, a new evil begins to make their moves, intent on shaking the very foundations of hero society. And when the students of UA get dragged into their machinations, will they have what it takes to step up and become the very heroes they've dreamt of being their whole lives? Or will the next generation of heroes fall before they can even find their footing?

Ever since Izuku Midoriya joined U.A. High School and settled in, he knew that the League of Villains were after him and his quirk: One For All. However, when the time comes when Bakugo is the target and is only seconds away from being captured, Midoriya throws himself in the chaos and ends up saving Bakugo, only at the cost of his own safety as he is captured instead. Midoriya is brought back to the League of Villains' hideout and with him there, Shigaraki plans on changing the young boy's mindset and plans to use force against him. When Midoriya isn't able to escape for three years and no one can seem to find him, he begins to lose hope and his wounds only bleed more. Even when he goes back in time with the help of a pro hero's quirk, he is diagnosed with depression and struggles to go on through life. He doesn't feel like himself. He needs someone. He needs someone so badly. But what if there isn't anybody to help Midoriya? How will Midoriya cope when someone close to him dies right in his arms? Warning! This story will contain depression, suicide talk, torture (not explained explicitly), violence, and a whole lot of angst! Also, this story won't contain any ships. So, there isn't any BakuDeku, TodoDeku, etc., it's just a depressing story with Midoriya with his friends trying to change themselves to help him and their own selves in the future.
