Prologue - Life of a Quirkless Person

"You're worthless."

"Why are you even alive?"

"I don't need your help."

"Don't help me, you fucking piece of shit!"

Those are the words a certain green-haired boy is reminded of while returning home from his school.

That's right, that boy is none other than Izuku Midoriya, a 14-year-old boy without a Quirk. A Quirk is like a superpower that can be inherited from one's parents.

If one's family's Quirks are fire, acid, etc..., then they'll inherit the Quirks from either their mother or father... or both.

But for Izuku?

He was born without inheriting a Quirk from either of his parents.

His father, Hisashi Midoriya, can breathe fire, but on the day of Izuku's birth, he left, not giving a reason for his absence.

Izuku Midoriya still remembers what happened to his father, because of how his mother, Inko Midoriya, loved him so much.

She often told him about how cool his father is. Because of that, even though he went away Izuku still loves his father and he knows that there was a reason for him to leave.

A Quirk should manifest one's body. When Izuku was 4 years old he didn't feel a single thing, as he was born Quirkless. Calling him numerous names that ruined his confidence.

Out of all those names, there are three that tear his soul apart.

"Worthless Izuku"

"Quirkless Izuku"

"Defenseless Izuku"

Or known as Deku.

The last name is usually used by his childhood bully, Katsuki Bakugou. Izuku just wanted to help, but Katsuki Bakugo, or Kacchan, the nickname Izuku used to call him, denies his help.

It only hurt his pride. Because of that, Katsuki blast him with his Explosion quirk in his hands and sent him flying to a faraway rock.

After the collision, Izuku cried so much. Not only that, Izuku gained a scar on his forehead, because of how he only wanted to help Kacchan, but in the end, he only hurt him.

The reason? Well, when it was the day to see the kids' Quirks, Katsuki got his, which is Explosions. Because of that, he thought himself being way cooler and stronger than anyone else.

Too much pride took over his soul, mind, and his personality.

The incident happened when Katsuki tripped over a small rock and Izuku lent his hand to help Katsuki up to his feet.

Instead of accepting Izuku's help, Katsuki just blew him away. That day was the start of how Izuku became less and less humane.

His mother, Inko Midoriya, apologizes and comforts him when they learn that he is Quirkless. She gained weight as a way of coping with her guilt after that.

Four years have passed since Izuku learned that he is Quirkless. He became shyer than ever, mostly not showing emotions on his face.

Whenever he's at home, it is there where his emotions resurface, but it all changed after two incidents that happened to him.

First, when he was eight years old, the news on their television showed that a great massacre that happened in Kamino, Yokohama.

How'd it happened? A bunch of villains with powerful Quirks began to kill anyone who works and lives there. One of those victims...

Was Hisashi Midoriya.

Hisashi was popular for his Quirk, Fire Breathing, and people who know or heard about him thought that he was strong enough to defeat powerful villains. They were wrong.

When a picture of the Fire Breathing Hero came, Inko's eyes widened while Izuku got confused at his mother's expression.

Eight years of his life, up until that incident... he hadn't seen the face of his father, only that his mother telling him that his father is a cool hero.

When she knelt with a horrified look, Izuku came to her with a worried look on his face. He asked her about that man.

Instead of replying to his question, Inko cried more as Izuku attempt to hug her, to comfort her.

When she calmed down, she decides to tell her son everything about her husband, who died in the Yokohama massacre.

When she finished telling it to her son, Izuku couldn't believe it. He thought to himself, 'where are the heroes when the people, who are in danger, need them in their desperate times'.

A few days have passed, the police station contacts Inko about the body of her dead husband.

After Hisashi Midoriya's funeral, Izuku continued to study... despite the loss of his father from a massacre at Kamino, Yokohama.

But he is not like who he is as depression struck his life, deeper than before, with the addition of Kacchan still bullying him along with his friends.

That was the first incident. The other one?

Much worse than his father's... or even equal to the first incident.

July 15. It is an important event for the green-haired boy. Why? He is 10 years old, which means... that day is his birthday.

He still hasn't shown any emotions since his father's incident until now, but inside, he really can't wait to celebrate his birthday with his mom.

When school ends, he started to walk back home, still showing the emotionless look on his face. Not too far, a large column of smoke appeared. Curiosity takes over his body, but something hits his mind to stop his curiosity.

The road where he's walking leads to the smoke.

"(Mom!)" He rushes back to his home, hoping that the smoke wasn't coming from his apartment.

...

He is in front of his apartment, where he and his mother are living, but his expression? Horrified, because... he cannot believe what he is seeing. The apartment's on fire.

Without thinking first and not worried about his safety, he rushes towards the burning apartment to rescue his mother inside the room they're both living in.

...

He successfully rescued his mother.

...

But she's not breathing as fire-fighters came to the scene with a few heroes on their side and one of them is none other than the No. 1 Hero, All Might.

Still worried about his mother's life, he came to All Might after he's done saving civilians from the burning apartment.

He's about to ask something that will change his life for a long, long time until the day of his death came.

Without further ado, he asks, "All Might, I have to ask you."

"What is it, Young One?" He asked, still that permanent smile on his face.

"My-My name is Izuku Midoriya and I've always been a fan of yours... and I want to ask you a question." He stuttered, nervous as well since he is in front of the No. 1 Hero.

"Sure. Ask away."

Hearing that, the boy took a deep breath.

"Can Quirkless people become heroes?"

No answer came from All Might's mouth. After a few seconds, the Symbol of Peace's smile faded and look at Izuku with a serious expression to answer the youngster's question.

"I'm sorry. Quirkless people can't become heroes."

...

That was five years ago, yet those are the words Izuku Midoriya still remember, because of those words...

Change his life with the addition of his mother passing away a few minutes after he saved her from the burning apartment.

Today is now his 15th birthday and the 5th anniversary of his late mother and the 7th anniversary of his late father and the 11th anniversary of how his life changed, because of Katsuki, other bullies... and All Might.

Now? He became less humane, but his intelligence and determination of becoming a hero differently never faltered.

He needs to thank Mitsuki and Masaru Bakugo, parents of his childhood bully to pay a house that is near to them so that he won't become more devastated and isolated from his experience.

Mitsuki and Masaru did this, because of how their son, Katsuki Bakugo, treated Izuku like a speck of dirt.

They did this to apologize to Izuku about their son's behavior and he forgives them easily because he's still the same Izuku Midoriya before he never knew about his quirk.

His determination, willpower, and the pure heart of giving everyone a second chance, it is his true nature of himself.

Everything a true hero has, because...

He's a true hero. Never giving up on his dream to become a hero differently.

Hello, everyone. As you may know about the name of this book, this is an alternate universe of Boku No Hero Academia. This USED to be a small harem, specifically Izuku x Ochako x Nejire x Melissa, but now it's a large harem alright.

The reason of why I did this?

1.) Inspired by:

undefmidi's books; Determination - BNHA Fan Fiction (Izuku x Ochako), Curiosity - BNHA Fan Fiction (Izuku x Nejire)

Pikaboo_73's book; To Be A Hero (Izuku x Harem) with an addition of an Original Character in the book

MrCartGamer's book; The Hero (Izuku x Nejire)

gyro276's book; Impossible (Izuku x Ochako)

All_Mighty_Loki's book; Ultra Izuku

2.) I made this because I want to. LOL

3.) There are no Izuku x Melissa books, so I decided to make one.

4.) I thought it's going to be interesting.

Okay, that's all the reason there is. This chapter is a dedication to:
