---- The world saw heroes as beacons of goodness and selflessness. People looked up to heroes, wanted to become one. Quirks made that easy, or hard, or impossible. It didn't matter, everyone loved the idea of being one. Not Cody. The world of heroes had been just about as unkind as heroes. ---- Disclaimer: Kohei Horikoshi owns My Hero Academia. I do not. I am simply borrowing his characters and story for fun. I also do not completely agree with his actions inside the story either (mainly character design). AKA: there will be minor changes from the original story. Cover photo is by Yuko Shimizu, altered with text on top by myself.

This story is free to use, but not my original MC. If anyone sees Cody Hatchcock outside of this story, please let me know. Enjoy the show!
