Word Count: 589

In a world where extraordinary abilities, known as quirks, were the norm, Izuku stood out. Born with a rare medusa-like quirk, his hair and gaze had the power to turn anything to stone. But Izuku's origins were shrouded in mystery, as he was created in an abandoned underground lab nestled deep within a vast forest.

Left alone to navigate this unfamiliar world, Izuku learned to survive. He forged an unlikely bond with the animals of the forest, finding solace and companionship amidst nature's embrace. Utilizing his quirk, he honed his skills as a hunter, turning his gaze toward the hunt for sustenance.

 strange occurrences began to unfold around the forest. Trees stood frozen, their once vibrant forms now transformed into lifeless stone. Animals, once his friends, met the same fate, their bodies petrified by an unseen force. Eerie sounds echoed through the night, and mysterious movements lurked in the shadows.

Reports of these anomalies reached the ears of pro heroes, prompting them to venture into the forest to investigate. Faced with the bizarre phenomena, they soon realized that the root cause lay with Izuku and his quirk. The hero society grappled with the dilemma of a power that possessed such immense destructive potential.

Amidst the chaos, Izuku stumbled upon the truth behind his own existence. The abandoned lab that bore witness to his creation had been part of a clandestine project—an endeavor to engineer a superweapon. Unbeknownst to him, he had become that very weapon, a living embodiment of destruction capable of turning anything he touched to stone.

Rage consumed Izuku's heart as he grappled with this revelation. The foundation of his beliefs shattered, leaving him questioning everything he once held dear. Fueled by a newfound darkness, he donned the mantle of a vigilante, using his medusa-like quirk to purge what he deemed threats to the peace within the hero society.

Miruko, a respected pro hero, was assigned the daunting task of tracking down Izuku and bringing him to justice. As she delved deeper into his actions, doubts gnawed at her. She saw glimpses of humanity within his vigilant pursuits and wondered if he truly posed a threat to the hero society or if his methods were misguided.

A battle of epic proportions ensued between Izuku and the pro heroes. His medusa-like quirk rendered him nearly invincible, as one by one, the heroes fell victim to his petrifying gaze. Lost in his anger, Izuku failed to notice Miruko's proximity until a momentary lapse nearly resulted in her own demise. The gravity of his actions shook him to his core, igniting a flicker of self-reflection.

The realization of the consequences of his vigilante ways dawned upon Izuku, awakening his dormant conscience. Recognizing that his actions only perpetuated the problems he sought to eradicate, he made the decision to turn himself in. The hero society was thrown into disarray as the public grappled with the perception of Izuku's deeds—some lauded him as a hero while others condemned him as a villain.

With no choice but to face the consequences, Izuku presented himself to the authorities. Amidst the uproar, Miruko's understanding of his motives deepened, questioning the absolute nature of right and wrong. She wrestled with her duty as a pro hero and the emerging realization that sometimes the lines between heroism and villainy were blurred.

In the aftermath of Izuku's surrender, the hero society underwent a period of introspection and reform. His actions had laid bare the flaws within the hero system system
