Izuku was never Quirkless. Sometimes, Quirks hide until they are triggered. Izuku died and came back. He gazed into the abyss and it followed him home. Everything he thought he knew about the world is about to change because there are monsters lurking in the dark below. Izuku wonders if he is one of them. Crossposted to Ao3.

Trapped. Like mice in a maze. The walls are closing in, and the only way out is to beat the game. To go it alone would be suicide. We need all the manpower we can get, and then some. Screw the reward. We'll break out of here. And we'll win. With the strongest players and guilds and...him, we can and will beat this game and escape with as little casualties as possible.

The world Tatsumi lived in was a cruel one, and he knew that well. Governed by the corrupted that prey on the weak. With a great power bestowed upon him and his allies by his side, he shall bring them all righteous retribution!
