Prologue - Ashes and Echoes

After the devastating war between heroes and villains leaves Japan in ruins, Izuku Midoriya finds himself standing alone. With most of his friends gone, his body broken, and society in shambles, he's given one last chance: go back. A mysterious force rewinds time, sending him to his third year of middle school-two years before U.A.'s entrance exam. This time, he knows what he has to do. No hesitation. No waiting for All Might. No more being quirkless and powerless. Izuku Midoriya is going to become the greatest hero-and this time, he's starting early.
