From a young age, Izuku knew that men aren't born equal.

Being told that he was quirkless was one of the most heart-breaking moment of Izuku's life, all he ever wanted was to be like his idol All Might. But it all seemed but possible now. Tears streamed down his face as he watched his favourite hero's debut for what seemed to be the thousandth time, his mother embracing him from the back as she too was crying her heart out. "HA! HA! HA! IT'S FINE NOW! WHY? FOR I AM HERE!'' All Might exclaimed, how Izuku wished his words were true.

"It's going to be okay" Inko whispered to her devastated son, her words were sweet and empowering, but even she had a hard time believing her words. She knew that having his dreams broken at such a young age would have negative effects upon Izuku's psyche, so she did what any good mother would have done, and be there for her child.

Izuku, having passed out after exhausting himself by crying, woke up in a white desert with the moon hanging directly over him. "Where am I". Izuku thought. Hearing the sounds of footsteps, he quickly turned around, only to be greeted by awhite tiger the size of a pick-up truck, and a slithering black mass that had the head of a demonic wolf that was glowing red from its eyes and mouth. Startled, Izuku fell to his back and quickly backed away.

"…."

"…."

Upon realizing that they were not hostile Izuku quickly asked. "Who are you?". After several moments of silence, the white tiger answered. "My name is Atsushi". The Black mass soon followed. "I am Akutagawa".
