Here's the sad truth. All men are not created equal. When I was four years old, I learned that some kids have more power than others. I was bullied, a victim of the system and a society that preys on the weak in Quirkless.
This society began in China, Qingqing City. There was news that a baby that gave off light was born. Ever since then, superpowers were discovered in various places, and time passed without the cause ever being identified. Then before we knew it, the supernatural powers and beings became normal, and dreams of being a superhero become reality. The world has become a superhuman society, and about 80% of the world's population now has some kind of special power. Our streets look like scenes from comic books. A city swirled with chaos and confusion, a new profession dominated our collective consciousness. It was an age of heroes. However with the rise of superpowers, came an explosive increase in criminal activity. While governments were stuck trying to figure out how to reform law with quirks in mind, courageous people started performing heroic acts to keep our cities safe. Protecting us against villains who abuse their power for evil. With overwhelming public support, heroes found an official place as peacekeepers, overseen by the government. Those who perform the best will be paid the most and got all the fame and glory. Their career is dependent on their abilities to stay in the spotlight, money and pride drive them all
My name is Izuku Midoriya and throughout my entire life I had wanted to be a pro hero. I wanted to be a hero who protects people with a smile just like All Might the greatest hero ever. However I didn't have a quirk. You see, when superpower first began appearing, there are many research studies that were conducted and the researchers discovered a link between a bone and a persons' foot and their likelihood of developing a quirk. People with powers have only one joint in their pinky toes. Their bodies have evolved into a more stream-like version of the human form. I didn't have this extra joint and because of this I thought I was never going to have a quirk that was until I met my hero, All Might. He is the symbol of peace and the greatest hero of all time, and he gave me his quirk, One For All. It is the only quirk in existence that stores quirks and can give them to the receiver of One For All. With this power I was finally able to become a student at U.A. the greatest and most prestigious hero academy in Japan. That's right I was finally on my way to becoming a pro hero. However that was before I learned the truth about All Might and Hero Society and my world was changed forever.
This is the story of how I gave up on my dreams of being a hero.
