Summary
In a world where heroes wear masks more for hiding than protecting, Midoriya Izuku—quirkless, fifteen, and invisible—wields the only thing he has left: the truth. Under the pseudonym HaVer, he becomes an anonymous info broker, exposing cracks in hero society that no one else wants to see. He never wanted to be a vigilante. He just got tired of pretending the system wasn’t already broken.
But truth, as it turns out, doesn’t punch nearly as hard as lies.
In the war between truth and lies, truth is the ninety-pound, scrawny, pasty-white juvie, while lies are drunken, belligerent scumball jocks who bully and bitch-slap truth at every opportunity. Admittedly, Bakugo Katsuki could not be officially considered a jock—he doesn’t even play a sport—but if emotionally suplexing his peers were an Olympic event, he’d have gold. And Izuku? He’s been in a one-sided cage match since preschool.
When a shadowy contact resurfaces with proof of hero corruption and a new bad villain arrives on the horizon, Izuku is forced to choose between silence and survival—or lighting the match that could burn the whole system down.Either way, he knows one thing for sure:
The heroes won’t save him.
Not this time.

Summary
'Whenever happiness is destroyed, there's always. . . the smell of blood.'
The deja vu with these words flowed through his mind at that moment. This time though there wasn't just the stench of blood but a heavy melancholy regret as well. He would have been blind not to notice her pain as she realized what she had done. Though after everything they went through to keep this from happening he can't be mad at her, she's his little sister. She's all he has left, how could he ever be mad at her. No, he couldn't be mad at Nezuko, but he surely was pissed at what this meant for their future.
