Chapter Text
He was a boy. That's all he is, or... was. That's all he was allowed to be when he was with Inko.
She was never nice when Hisashi left, started.... going out... hitting him.... all at the ripe age of 4.
But he’s not 4 now.
He’s 17, and no longer quirkless.
Not in the way you might expect, though. Instead of gaining one for all... he dropped out of school once he ran away, no longer encountering the sludge villain, as happens in the true story, and never seeing Kacchan, or, Katsuki Bakugo, ever again.
He worked for All for One for a while. Until All Might defeated him. In that time though, he gained a quirk.
Shadow Manipulation.
Like the name, this quirk allows the user to control any, and all shadows within eyesight, or reach. However, every time you use it, a part of your hand, starting at the fingertips, will become stained black.
If you bring that finger, or hand to shadows, it's almost like reality will glitch.
The more ‘stained’ you get, the more you will melt into the shadows, until one day, you’ll melt into the shadows... and never return.
So, throughout this story, you will get to see parts of Izuku’s story. And maybe, someone else's.
Let's just say, it doesn't start out too well, but I digress.
Well then, I say let the story, begin.
