Izuku Midoriya has always dreamed of becoming a hero, inspired by the shining symbol of peace-All Might. But in the shadows of his home, his reality is far from heroic. Born as the son of the world's most feared villain, All For One, Izuku's life is one of pain, abuse, and broken hope. To his father, he is not a child but a weapon, moulded to inherit a legacy of darkness he wants no part of. Torn between the blood that binds him and the heart that yearns to save, Izuku clings to the one light in his world-his dream of becoming a hero. As he endures fear, violence, and the weight of his cursed lineage, he whispers the words that keep him alive: "I'll never follow in his footsteps."
This is the story of a boy born in the shadows, struggling to rise toward the light.
