What had he done with his life?. Akaza(was that still his name)was still trying to figure out that one question,he had overcame one of the only weaknesses know to demons and yet he felt empty his quest for strength unfruitful,the thousands that died at his hands just for him to feel empty at the end it really was shameful for him to be thinking like this in the middle of battle but he can't help it.
He had the slayers on the ropes even if that Kamado boy had cut his neck he knew he couldn't keep it had done his part and proposed demonhood to the hashira (his denial was expected but there's no harm in trying)so why is it when he is so close to his ultimate victory,his true ascent,doing something even Muzan couldn't and defeating the breath of the sun did he feel so upset?,no that wasn't the right word hollow?,yes that was it he felt hollow maybe it was the memories of his old life making him so sentimental,so with these new memories Akaza is ready to cross over to the afterlife to be with those who knew him only as Hakuji,Akaza is defeated taking his own life and passing on to his hell is what happened,in this reality anyway so let's shift our attention from here to a different reality
A four year old Izuku Midoriya was having a bad was the only person he knew currently who has yet to get a quirk he visited the doctors two weeks ago and they had to give the news to his mother and him that he shouldn't be getting his hopes up for his quirk to come in anytime soon in fact it may never come in at what the young boy could gather from his mother in between her quiet sobs of "I'm sorry" and "it's all my fault" was that he suffered from a thing known as quirklessness an ailment that affected roughly 20% of the human population but he could still be a hero couldn't he?
No seemed to be the very definitive solution to his question, this was not any answer taken too well by Izuku seeing as he had spent the past hour or two staring blankly at a screen of All Might,The greatest hero that Japan has ever seen,saving people with a smile on his Izuku wept silently about his shattered dreams his mother came into comfort him and he asked the only question that came to mind "Can I be a hero like All Might" he waited for an answer but got none,all he was treated to was a broken cry of "im sorry" over and over this moment of being surrounded by weakness something inside Izuku was awaking
His first day back at school had been terrible,His teachers spiteful enough to condemn a child to a school life of hell had spilled the secret of him being quirkless to the whole class probably the whole school knew by now,so at the age of four years old Izuku was left alone for the first time until a strange thing happened Bakagou Katsuki. His 'friend' Kaachan had asked if he wanted to play with them now even at Izuku's young age he could tell he was being deceived but alas his desperation won out over his better judgement and he followed Katsuki to where him and his friends,a tall boy with extendable fingers and a rotund child with small demon wings sprouting from his back,were delivering a harsh beating to a smaller child out of sight of a teacher,and in perhaps the stupidest decision of admittedly short life Izuku rushed in to protect the boy from his friend's explosive quirk taking a point blank explosion from Katsuki which was meant for the beaten boy behind him
"Deku what are you doing" The explosive boy asked through gritted teeth instead of a reply he was met with "what are you doing Kaachan this isn't what a hero should do" in a quivering and winded voice from the extreme pain in his chest from the explosive force."I'm doing exactly what a hero would do Deku inputting this villainous freak in his place,beneath me"
Stated the blonde boy."So Deku, if you want to prove yourself to me as more than just a quirkless,useless wannabe you can help us put him in his place or you can join him on the ground" he yet even after the threat Izuku still charged Kaachan in order to keep him away from the boy on the floor however this would be futile as before he even got within two paces of the explosive boy he was met with a flaming palm to the side of his head
Izuku went down and something else woke up.
