Prologue: Nothing but Ambition
There is a legend in the criminal world. Of the one who controls everything. All for One.
If you are somehow considered a villain, he has an eye on you. And if you owe him, may God have mercy on you, because he won't.
Izuku Midoriya knows of those rumors. His father being another criminal under the thumb of the big fish of Japan, he knows that this legend is real.
He talked to that legend after all.
All for One came to 'talk' with his father and saw the raw potential of Izuku. After the talk with his father ended up with him dead, All for One took Izuku to someone more... capable.
His quirk is basic, called Electric Release, he can generate small amounts of electric energy and release it in different ways. Under the ways of his teacher, he learned how to fight.
Under All for One, he learned to think.
When he saw his father doing petty crimes, he felt disgusted. Seeing that every action of All for One, is a piece for a bigger picture, he can only feel admiration and awe. He wants to be like that.
He wants to be, what All for One is. But he knows, he isn't the chosen.
He knows that Tomura Shigaraki is the one that will have the crown. And that makes him sick.
He knows who Tomura is. He knows why All for One is doing this. And he knows what his role will be.
The same as his father. And that disgusts him.
So, he left. He knows that this will make him the enemy of All for One, but that is fine. You can't be on the top if everyone likes you. People will have to hate you, for you to be successful.
And you need to be feared to be powerful.
Now, the 17-year-old Izuku Midoriya, might be another member of the crime organization controlled by Mr. Big, but he knows...
That James is another stepping stone.
