This is the story of an adventurer named Bell Cranel. Bell isn't your normal day adventurer either. No, he is in fact, an unblessed one. No one would accept him into their familia due to his weak-looking self. Leaving Bell with one last option to secure his dreams. Watch as Bell becomes the first unblessed adventurer to enter the dungeon. Tread carefully young hero...

As a child, Izuku decided it would be better if he were Quirkless than to have a power that scared everyone. Now a teenager and looking to enter U.A, he finds himself as the protege of All Might and a student of the best heroes in the nation- but there's no running from a part of you, and he's learning the hard way that you have to accept all of yourself to be a real hero.

Naruto has emerged victorious in the Fourth Shinobi world, but not without its sacrifices. Suddenly, he is pulled from his world, meets a god, and is left with a mission with a due date he knows nothing about, in a world he doesn't understand, with only a desperate hope to return home. Can he manage it? Can he succeed in a world of meddling Gods, with only the Bijuu as his allies?

Every family has its odd member, the one that doesn't fit. Jaune was just that, the black sheep. He had always wanted to be the hero, to be a Huntsman. But when your name is Jaune Salem Arc - Prince of the Grimm - and your mother is understandably against the idea, what is a young man to do? Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?

"Strive for a place among gods and you shall reach it." Izuku Midoriya's desire to be a Hero was so strong that it brought to the world of Quirks a power never seen before. A power so strong and unique that it will lay down the foundations for a new era of peace and prosperity. "The burden on his shoulders was great, but his will was greater." Slight AU and X-Over. Izuku/Harem.

A different upbringing leaves Harry Potter with an early knowledge of magic and a view towards the Wizarding World not as an escape from the Dursleys, but as an opportunity to learn more about it. Unfortunately, he quickly finds that there are many elements in this new world that are unwilling to leave the Boy-Who-Lived alone.

"Don't lie to him" Shikamaru felt the need to say, "He's observant". Ino felt her nose rumple in disbelief. "Is he?" she frowned, wondering if the Nara was joking. "Since when?" "Since always." He paused. "Especially with things that catch his interest."

Mikoto finds an eight year old Naruto hung from a tree by a rope, she saves him and finds out he tried committing suicide, and not just that time, but dozens of times and something triggers in her, making her obsessed with the blond boy.

Pushed aside for the sake of his siblings, Naruto gains knowledge of this mad world through literature. For a child still learning of life's struggles, that can be a damaging thing. The world is quick to call a babbling man insane when he is more likely the genius of his own words. A fool with a kunai is no match for a genius with a pebble.

Jaune didn't have to become a Hero, or even a Hunter. Not really. He could always have been a farmer or something. Pyrrha though... (Now with the multi-part Part Two: Oum Made a Farmer. Complete.)

Response to Paladeus's challenge "Champions of Lilith". Harry, Hermione, and Luna get a chance to travel back in time and prevent the hell that England became under Voldemort's rule, and maybe line their pockets while they're at it. Lunar Harmony; plenty of innuendo, dark humor, some bashing included; manipulative!Dumbles; jerk!Snape; bad!Molly, Ron, Ginny
