Everybody dreams of being a hero. We want to feel important, unique. We crave the attention worn as capes. We want the modest masks. While growing up, most are distracted from these desires and lose sight of the real goal. How awesome could it be to make someone's day or save someone's life? As the years pass, life seems to turn into a crazy spiral only ending in a dark depression. Fate only allows you to be the villain. So the question sits, how can you change your destiny?

Through the darkness, the computer screen illuminated the pale skin of Adelae's face around the black mask. Scrolling through the submitted questions, she came across one that made her smile. "Dear Lady Shade," She read aloud to herself. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" She chuckled, shaking her head at the simple, loaded question, before selecting it and opening the page to write a reply. "Hello Blogger KittyStan41. I bet you're expecting the classic tragic backstory in response to this question." she typed. " Dead parents, treated like trash as a kid, and it all came to a choice between rising to defeat my inner demons or succumbing to them. Well, my real answer is possibly something you haven't considered about the world of Heroes and Villains. Answer this for me, what is the goal of a hero? To make the world a better place, perhaps? No, dear KittyStan41. The classic goals of the Hero might seem epic and noble, but in the end it all comes down to stopping the Villain. What kind of life is that, when your only goals derive from the actions of someone else? Your whole life is used up as a preventative measure. Now does that sound like a good way to live? "I chose to be a villain not because I enjoy hurting people, but because I have goals that I plan to achieve. Don't bother asking what they are. If I told you, everyone would know, and people (baby heroes) would get in the way. Then how would I achieve them? I aspire to more. Is there need for a better reason?"Complete![Hello, my name is Kuro (Jirou X OC) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/345075322-256-k759298.jpg)
Hello, my name is Kuro (Jirou X OC) [COMPLETED]
In a world where 80% of the population has a superpower, called "quirks",Kuromaru is a 15 year old boy living with his adoptive father, Toshinori Yagi, or, as everyone knew the man, The Symbol of Peace, All Might. His quirk is rather odd. This makes him an easy target for the students to pick on, marking him as "pickpocket" and "thief". But this does not stop the boy from admiring his father and wishing to be just like him. What is his quirk? Will he achieve his dream? Will he get a potential partner along the way? That's for you, the readers to find out as we follow his life. He has, but one thing to say to you. What is it, you ask? "Hello, My name is Kuro And I'm gonna be a hero!" . . . I do not own My Hero Academia, all credit for the anime/manga goes to Kosei Horikoshi. I'll try to put links in the comments for any artwork that I use which isn't mine. T/W: Angst.

THE SINS OF THE FATHER (BnHA Dad for One AU)
Izuku Midoriya had always been interested in Quirks. He loved studying them and discussing them with his father. It was due to this interest in Quirks that he found a fascination with Heroes and becoming one when he grows up, much to the chagrin of his father and brother, who had tried everything to make Izuku change his mind. His dream school? UA High. The same school his idol and favorite hero, All Might had graduated from. But unbeknownst to him, he belongs to a family of villains.

I got the idea from a tik tok video that I saw...granted It was only a picture that gave me the idea but...that one picture spoke volumes for me. :I do not own any of the main characters that I will use in my story and I do not own any of the artwork that I will use...the cover for this book is what gave me inspiration. ~~ LGBTQ+ APPROVED... ~~ Thanks so much for the 15.5K views and the 440 votes.Complete
A Friend (depreciated)
Why, why can't he be a hero thought Izuku as All Might left him alone on the roof top overlooking the city. But little did Izuku knew was he wasn't truly alone rather someone with good intensions was waiting patiently on the roof with him ...a friend. This is a fanfic asking a question what if Izuku never got One For All and never got a quirk at all. Instead someone one else found him and offered him power that didn't stem from a quirk, rather it stemmed from the use of energies that are better described as magic. As two separate dimensional factions collide, vying for supremacy over the dimension one benign the other not so much. As you may have guessed I'm covering my butt on this but I don't own or never will own My Hero Academia. The only things I can say I own is well a few characters that are put into this story and concepts that stem from the content these characters originate from, and truth be told I didn't want to write this but I'd rather keep my two hundred dollars and write this fanfic because I lost a bet. I should also mention that this will follow semi-closely to the original story line of MHA with of course deviations as quite a few of the conflicts and plot points stemming from Izuku gaining One For All won't happen. Instead naturally they will be replaced with new plot points and conflicts originating from the absence of them for example the Meta Liberation Army will no doubt be gunning for Izuku due to the fact he has powers without a quirk.
Deathwatch of UA
To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods." Izuku was born same as in canon "quirkless". He was bullied; shunned despite having a pure and noble heart. Izuku slowly was carved away into a dark, and deep depression. His mother and sister didn't but his friend Katsuki Bakugo, Ibara Shiozaki, Fumikage Tokoyami and father toshinori Yagi also known as all might was there to support him and his dream. but sadly, a horrible day came when the school was attack by a villain with stolen new technology held the Midoriya kids' hostage, without much though inko grab his sister and push the villain and Izuku into the portal. now in a new world Izuku will learn from his new brothers his second father and grandfather and return to the world he knew to become the next number one hero. Side note: this is a story I've been wanting to make for some time so please if any mistake or want to say something please do not be afraid it will help me be better in writing thank you I do not own My Hero academia or Warhammer 40k they are own by their respective companies and owners.Complete
Twilight (MHA x M! OC insert)
In a world where 80% of the population has developed unique mutations in their genetic codes, giving them "superpowers", or "quirks", as they call it, it doesn't take long for fantasy and imagination to emerge out of the earth. And further, it doesn't take long for roles of "Heroes" and "Villains" to rise up as well. But... Who coins one as a "hero" or a "villain"...? The person themselves...? Or the people around them...? Light... Dark... Dusk... Dawn... Two sides of the same coin... Twilight... --- Kageyama Kazuma is a 16 year old boy, aspiring to follow his late father's footsteps, and become a hero who saves people. But... Not all can go as planned, or wished, right?

His only light in this darkness being his mother, is willing to do whatever it takes to keep that smile she treasures so much to never leave the boy's face. But... Being a human at the end of the day, she can only do so much. Follow Kageyama through his journey to becoming one of the greatest heroes in the entirety of Japan. What awaits him on this journey? Friends? Love? Hardships? That's for you to find out. [This is a rework of my first book ever, "What It Means To Be A Hero"] --- I do not own any claims/rights to the My Hero Academia verse, all rights go to Kosei Horikoshi. I only own the original characters I've added to the story, and the arts I add in the book. In case the art doesn't belong to me, I'll credit the said person in the comments. Peace.

The Love One Holds | Izuku X Reader (Completed Book 1)
(Y/N) Nanase, known to many as a sick, bedridden child that may never see the outside world. Due to her unknown sickness, she wasn't allowed to leave her room without a nurse at her side. Many believed that she could have been a great hero if it wasn't for her sickness, and (y/n) believed that too. One day, she got tired of being encased inside the walls that blocked her from the outside, and asked a nurse to let her see around the hospital. In the lobby, she meets a young boy who was going with his mother to check what his quirk was, and they later became friends. The boy, each day, visited the girl of the same age. At 14 years of age, both children became best friends, developing feelings for each other, though they were unbeknownst of the other's feelings. At some point, however, the boy came crying to the girl, telling her how he wanted to become a hero, but due to his quirklessness, he didn't know what to do. The girl looked at the crying boy that she held dearly in her heart, and said... "You can...become a hero." _________________________________________ This is not owned by me (duh), it is rightfully owned by Kohei Horikoshi.
