Before existence and all there was and will be, there was nothing. Just the cold, dark expanse of space, it's size dwarfing anything of comprehension. There were no naive concepts of good and evil, no heroes and villains, Just nothing.
And from nothing, a spark of light emerged amidst the void. A spark of light that defied and fought. And as darkness closed onto the spark, suffocating and squeezing it, trying so desperately to snuff its brightness. In that moment, the light stifled.
And exploded, bathing darkness with light. As the universe formed and stabilized in an event so quickly that it could be said to never have existed. As the light hurtled itself across the cosmos amidst galaxies and stars. It also heralded the first age of creation. And from that age, there was life.
Fast-forward a few billion years in the year 20XX, on a small planet rife with life. A baby is born in the city of Qingqing. As the mother cradled her daughter and her father smiled with pride. The baby opened her eyes for the first time. As the created laid her eyes upon her creators. The babe smiled back.
And bathed the room with light. As shocked parents and nurses looked at the newborn baby, they were unaware of the magnitude of this event in history and the impact it would have in the future. As light streamed from the giggling girl's skin, it too heralded a new age. The age of quirks.
And from that age, thousands of lights would emerge and scatter among the populace, bringing both an era of great power and uncertainty. However, emerging from the lights came a great evil that swept across Japan. An evil so twisted and hungry as it hoarded the power of quirks. However, as time would progress, a challenger would rise from the dark and face this great evil. And thus, began a new age, the age of might.
But today is not the story of how a skinny blonde girl became the world's symbol of peace or the fall from grace of an eldest daughter. No, this is a story of a 5-year-old boy, with dark green hair, emerald eyes and freckles dotting across his cheeks. Despite all these prominent traits of his, it could be said that this boy exhibited a plainish-looking appearance. Yet for all his flaws, the boy had something that could not be brought or given, this boy had an incredible will that could dash any obstacle in his way. A will so powerful in its right that it gave shape and form.
Yes, this is the story of Izuku Midoriya and how, with his light, ushered in a new age, the age of light.
Oh, and a car, let's not forget the car.
