Summary
Quirkless. A single word, and yet it holds so much power. In a society powered by the supernatural, being powerless made you stand out, oddly enough. And it was this single word that kept Izuku MIdoriya, a quirkless child with dreams of making it big, down all his life. Ostracized, bullied and belittled, savaged by his fellow schoolmates. He hopes to be the world’s first quirkless hero, until the worst day of his life.
“Izuku Midoriya. Quirkless, but ambitious, with a smile like sunshine and eyes like gleaming emeralds. He died doing what he had strived for all his life, trading his life for his friends safety. May he rest in peace.”
If only it were that simple

Summary
Two orphaned kids versus the world. That’s how it had been for them for the last 10 years, and they had a feeling it would continue in this manner until they died.
That was, until a few pro heroes suddenly became interested in the new vigilantes around the block.
“Present Mic! How are you doing?” the boy said. Present Mic, conversationalist that he is, responded immediately, just like the past hundred times or so.
“Punch Eraserhead in the face” he commanded, and Eraserhead cursed as a fist flew in his direction. The two vigilantes snickered and ran off nimbly, leaving a very confused and tied up Hizashi and a very, very tired Shouta.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya, a quirkless teen with dreams of becoming a hero, is put through an unfortunate series of events that leave him traumatized and disabled. His dreams seem so far away now, and just as he was on the brink, a friendly gun-toting cowboy comes to the rescue, telling him that he can be a hero, societal standards be damned.
And that’s the story of how Deadeye, the Marksman Hero, began his ascent to power, with a tongue of silver, a heart of gold, and an arm of steel. And a really, really big gun.

Summary
Izuku’s quirk is odd. Transmutation, but not turning lead to gold, no. He can create machines. And he intends to be a hero with this power.
It certainly helps that his best friend and mentor are so supportive.
Basically, Izuku can create Machines from NiER: Automata. Supportive friend Bakugou and step-father Aizawa are here to help him along to be a hero

Summary
Dr. Kel thought he would like working alone, not having to answer to anyone or have anyone looking over his shoulder. After a week of total isolation in the Dunkeltaler Array, crushing loneliness and paranoia starts to take hold.
Which is only amplified further when he learns that he's not alone.
He's not sure if it's due to his rapidly declining mental state or his desperate need for social interaction, but when faced with something inhuman and dangerous, rather than run away, he tries to reach out to it.

Summary
Ren did it. He won. He defied fate itself and beat the rigged game. Through sheer will power alone, he pulled through and ended the False God's life, putting a bullet through its head for good measure.
But at what cost?
His teammates, his family, everyone who he knew, everyone he ever cared about... They died, because he wasn't good enough, because he wasn't strong enough.
Igor gives him a chance. A chance to right his wrongs, to help another fight their own fate, to defy their own fate. He takes it with only a second's hesitation, determined to save those he could not save before.
But does he have the will power left in him to succeed? Not even he knows the answer to that. But maybe that's exactly what he needed.
A fresh start. A fresh game that was ripe for rigging, and he'll be damned if he allows it to be one-sided this time around. He'll make sure no one suffers like he did...
No one.
