We All Bleed Red

A/n at the bottom

Warnings: Eating humans, gore, OoC


Midoriya Izuku knew not all people were created equal. He knew it from the bottom of his heart, in the depths of his very soul. He knew how hypocritical the world was. They would glorify one part of society, yet at the same time persecuted another that was no different than the first. When he was four, Izuku was declared quirkless. He was, but he also wasn't. Of course being a ghoul wasn't a quirk. It was a curse.

Izuku never asked to be born. He never asked to have to take bodies from common suicide spots. He never asked to have to eat human flesh to survive. No, it wasn't cannibalism because Izuku was not a human.

Midoriya Inko was a human. A human that had eaten human flesh for nine months in order to birth him. Midoriya Hisashi was a ghoul that was killed shortly after Izuku's seventh birthday. He didn't remember his father very well, but Izuku mourned his death anyway. Inko did her best to raise her son. She was terrified he would be taken from her too. This caused her to be overprotective at best and paranoid at worst.


At school Izuku was known as a quirkless Deku. He was fine with that even if he got the shit kicked out of him everyday. Or at least was until he realized that he flinched. He flinched when anyone touched. He flinched when he heard fireworks. He flinched when he smelled anything burning. Izuku also agreed, to doing what others said, to doing what others wanted, to what others thought about him. This was because of one person, Bakugo Katsuki, "Kacchan."

Izuku only called the bastard that because it pissed "Kacchan" off. "Kacchan" who started the nickname Deku. "Kacchan" who gave blistering burns to any part of Izuku's body he could reach . "Kacchan" who had an explosion quirk. "Kacchan" who Izuku desperately wanted to bash his face into the ground until "Kacchan's" face was a bloody mess of manggled features.

Despite all that Izuku wanted to be a hero, The Number One Hero, like his idol, All Might, was. His idol was a human. A human who had super powered strength, unnaturally fast healing abilities, and yet he was human. It gave Izuku hope that maybe, just maybe one day he could simply exist. He also wanted the political sway that being the number one hero had. So he could defend ghouls.


Okay so this is just for me to test the waters it I don't get a decent reaction I won't post any more of it. I mean I might still write it, but… you get the point. This is just the set up. After this I'll start following the manga's plot on a chapter to chapter basis. Key plot points will still happen.

In this universe there is no CCG. It did exist at one point. Ghouls are still illegal, but the Heros with darker reputations tend to take cases/jobs/whatever with ghouls involved. (Endeavor takes a lot of these out of the public eye)

Kaneki Ken will be used as a referance a lot in this story. He is a real person in this universe. Every thing in Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:re happened. It just took place before quirks did.

All Might is not a ghoul. If he was he would have healed up and still have a stomach.

Izuku has a Rinkaku type kagune he can heal with it, attract heat with it, and redirect that heat.

Before you shout "That's OP!" It's not he can heal because that a learned skill of a kagune commonly used by Rinkaku types. The whole heat thing is a mix of his parents quirks. So the quirk he would have had is in his kagune, essentially.

Sorry of the long A/n
