AU reboot of the entire SAO storyline, beginning from the premise that Kayaba Akihiko was obsessed with magic and Norse Mythology rather than swords and pure melee.

AU. The butterfly effect: one small alteration can result in calamitous change to an end result.

When Izuku fails to meet All Might, and All Might fails to save Izuku, that single instance causes a world-wide revolt where people begin to stop trusting in heroes.
