Bat to the Future: The Other Midoriya
A My Hero Academia Fanfiction
Izuku Midoriya was born quirkless. So was I.
The difference? While he spent his childhood crying into his pillow and writing love letters to All Might, I spent mine getting my ass kicked and learning how to return the favor.
Adopted by Inko Midoriya after my mom passed, I grew up as Izuku’s louder, meaner, infinitely more attractive stepbrother. He wanted to be a hero. I just wanted people to shut the hell up about quirks and let me crack heads in peace.
But the world doesn’t work that way. So I adapted.
And by adapted, I mean I stared fate dead in the eyes, flipped it off, and broke the system. Literally.
One dangerously impulsive, borderline illegal decision later, I unlocked something better than a quirk—a System that lets me break my own limits. My strength, speed, intelligence—it all skyrockets every time I push myself. The catch? If I ever deactivate it, I get hit with every side effect at once.
So I never turn it off.
Now, I’ve got stats that shouldn’t exist, skills that shouldn’t be legal, and a steel bat that’s ruined more lives than student loans. The pros hate me. The villains hate me. Bakugo really hates me.
Between dodging Boom Boom Bitch’s tantrums, robbing villains of their dignity, and giving the Hero Commission stress-induced ulcers, I’m out here rewriting the rules and making an absolute mess of the system.
They wanted another hero? Too bad.
They got me instead.
System (Check)
Overpowered MC (Through Loopholes)( Check)
Quirkless But Better (Check)
Comedy & Action (Check)
Peak Bullshittery (Check)
Pro-Heroes Fear Him (Check)
Perfect for fans of:
- An MC who fights like he found out the world owes him money
- Power systems with loopholes so broken they should be patched
- Fights that make Batman’s ‘no-kill rule’ look like a suggestion
- People getting verbally, emotionally, and physically demolished
-Serious moments immediately ruined by sarcasm, insults, and violence
This isn’t a hero story.
This is a tax fraud case waiting to happen.
And I’m just getting started.
No greater feeling than cheating the system.
Goldmine found? I’ll let this piece of meat marinate and ripen for the future.
Gud Shit Stand pround you can cook ....
apart from the shit with mount lady that we dont talk about this is pretty funny
i just read the synopsis havent even read the first chapter but im already hype for this novel honesyly author if the chapters are even half as good as that synopsis youve just gotten a fan for life
So I came looking for copper, but instead I came while reading this story. 10/10 would meme stain again. For those scouting the comments, yes, this stuff is quality. Go and read it.
The Jokes: Peak The Dialogue: Realistic The System: Sassy Looking for copper: Struck gold This fanfic of My Hero Academia is hilarious and I loved the chemistry between Ryuu and everyone else in Izuku's life. Ryuu's charisma and banter/thinly veiled insults are well contrasted with his poorly concealed studious nature. Usually, authors make 'the funny guy' spouting jokes at every conceivable moment, but Ryuu is serious and strategic when he needs to be. I also like his older brother mentality where only he is 'allowed' to bully Izuku. Only 20 chapters in and I've loved every bit so far. Also, the jokes in this novel have about the same tone as one I read a while ago called "How To Raise Your Regressor" by Anit666, so if you liked that, you'll probably like this.
Pretty good. Autistic main character getting some chuckles out of me. Little bro has negative aura at levels that were previously thought to only be theoretically possible. It’s really amusing how the entire world bands together to humiliate him out of shared annoyance with his presence, he’s like an SCP of some sort I actually couldn’t even stomach the chapter where he tries to speak to a female hero it was so cringe. I usually have high tolerance for awkward, so this is good training for me. Keep it coming author! I can take it!
I just Read the Synopsis and oh boy am I so thrilled to read this. I'm leaving the 5 star here and I'll come after reading this and see if it's a story worth 5⭐
me rn reading the summary till the end end be like:
Loving the book so far, it's very entertaining, funny and I can't wait for more chapters
When I first opened this novel, I was expecting something Mundane and unsatisfactory for my exquisite needs, but I was oh so wrong. I opened the novel after a bated breath, gold lights shimmering into my eyes... I found it, at long last. The novel for me.
You portrayed your characters well I like it
So.... A metal bat inspired Fanfic? Nice.🐐
Good.
