    Summary

    For years, Izuku Midoriya was mocked for his seemingly useless Quirk: Appraisal. All it did was show him floating numbers—people’s levels, stats like strength, agility, intelligence, and, strangely enough, vague titles like “[LOCKED]” or “Villain Path: Likely.” Useless in a world of flashy powers and devastating quirks, right?

    Wrong.

    Determined to prove everyone wrong, Izuku throws himself into studying game mechanics, RPG systems, and intense training regimens. While others coast on talent, he grinds—tracking every incremental stat boost from running, strength training, and even studying. Then, one morning on the way to school, he strays down an unfamiliar path—and something strange happens. A portal opens. A new window appears.

    [DUNGEON DISCOVERED]

    It’s something called a dungeon. And somehow, he's the only one who can see it.

    Well. Surely nothing bad could happen if he ventures inside, right?

    Summary

    Izuku was born quirkless. To be fair the diagnosis was accurate at the time, it just didn’t stay that way for long,

    Through a series of events involving a dying man high on drugs and Izuku’s ability to attract trouble, he finds himself in possession of a seriously overpowered quirk known as All for One. Perhaps it was some form of divine intervention that attempted to keep him quirkless because a quirked Izuku is a terrifying force indeed.

    As Izuku attempts to master this new quirk, much to the distress of all those around him, the villain All for One is forced to come up with an excuse for why he’s now effectively quirkless in this utter mess of crack.

    Summary

    Imagine a world where the fate of the Saiyan race was ultimately far different from the original Dragon Ball story. Imagine a timeline where there was no Goku, no Vegeta, no Raditz or Broly, imagine every Saiyan met the fate of destruction by Freeza. Every Saiyan except a single, smarter, gentler middle-class warrior that managed to sneak off-planet the night of Freeza’s attack and head to a far-off planet called Earth.

    Adopting the name Hisashi, he meets and settles down with one Inko Midoriya, leading to them having a child they choose to name Izuku years later under Inko’s maiden name. When the boy is born with a tail, they choose to cut off his tail to prevent the Ōzaru transformation. They hide Izuku’s hybrid nature until he falsely believes his quirk came in when his tail regrows during a hangout with Katsuki Bakugou.

    At age four, Izuku and Bakugou are told the story of the Saiyans and of the evil emperor Freeza. At age four, Izuku begins his training to harness his latent abilities after a minor incident at school. At age four, Izuku begins his journey to become one of the Earth’s greatest heroes and its strongest protector.
