    Summary

    A small family living in the outskirts of a small town in Mie makes an impression on the Uraraka family living within said town. After being invited out to a small get together between the two families, the daughter of the Uraraka family, Ochako, a cheerful girl with rosy cheeks, is introduced to the son of the Midoriya family, Izuku, a wild child with a simian tail. With this meeting the two of them become fast friends and the course of their lives are forever changed.

    As Izuku grows and matures, he finds himself under the tutelage of many great masters and martial artists, all who impart their wisdom onto him. Their guidance and skills will enable him to be both a mentor and a friend to those who he grows close with in his future.

    (This story is an mostly and MHA story with Dragon Ball Elements, and primarily uses locations from MHA with a few sprinkled in from DB.)

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya, a meek quirkless middle schooler, dreamed of becoming a hero who could save everyone with a smile despite no one believing in him. Even his own mother, the only person who didn’t look down on him, never said the words he wanted to hear. For all intents and purposes, he’d be lucky to land a dead-end minimum-wage job. However, his fate dramatically changes one day after an encounter with a mysterious individual.

    After making a deal, one that he can’t even remember, Midoriya’s life begins to change for the better and the worse. He may no longer be powerless, but these newfound powers come at a cost. He might be able to impress All Might, but many other heroes are wary of his existence. He may finally have some friends, but his past still follows him.

    What exactly happened to him that night? Why did that mysterious man help him to achieve his goal? Who are these new villains? Where is the world heading? When will the voices in his head just shut up!?

    Will Midoriya be able to use the powers granted to him to defeat the ancient and new evils, or will he be broken down by the very system he is tasked to protect? This story is the journey of how Deku becomes a hero above all others.
