Summary
Midoriya Izuku was quirkless.
In a different universe he wouldn’t let this deter him from becoming a hero. In a different universe he has—or somehow gets—a quirk. In a different universe he would have unwavering determination.
He would become the greatest hero in the world.
But this is not a different universe, this is the universe where he is a loser, a freak, a nobody, a worthless Deku. Here he only has two things: spite and a recklessness that borders suicidal. Technically three things, if you count the constant tiredness that levels on numb. To his dismay—as if the godforsaken universe decided to have a laugh at his expense—he became more obsessed with heroes and furthermore quirks when he gave up his dream.
Continuing to chase after hero fights and constantly trying to analyze every quirk he sees, as an escape from the financial troubles of home his mother tries to assure him aren’t there, leads to many notebooks. Having unmonitored internet access leads him to a rabbit hole of information and forums. It’s among these forums he has his first encounter with the payable position of an ‘informant.’ He gave up on being a hero—just can’t see himself being one anymore. But an informant? Without a doubt.
