Summary
Bakugo Katsuki had always known how to fight.
He fought for the top. Fought through Kamino. Fought for a future that slipped right through his fingers the day U.A. expelled him for his past actions and his current temper.
The first time he didn’t fight. Couldn’t. Not when every headline made him the face of everything wrong with hero society. Branded a bully, scorned by the media, and abandoned by the hero system he once fought to join, he’s left with nothing. Nobody saw it coming when the League of Villains takes him for the second time.
And out there, the world is changing. The cracks in hero society are widening. The League has plans that haven’t finished playing out. Now presumed dead by the world that cast him aside, Katsuki awakens as a shadow of himself, torn between what he was and what he's becoming.
Katsuki’s got no damn clue who he is without the power that used to define him.
But there’s one thing he knows for sure:
He isn’t done fighting.
And a soul doesn’t shatter quietly.
