To my readers,
First of all… thank you.
And also, I'm sorry.
Sorry for disappearing for so long without updates. Life became hectic, and I needed time away to sort things out. I know the wait has been frustrating, especially after leaving the story at such an important point, and I truly appreciate everyone who stayed patient during the break.
This fanfic started as just a random idea in my head—an alternate take on My Hero Academia filled with ambition, emotions, chaos, and characters I grew deeply attached to. I never expected so many people to read it, discuss theories, wait for updates, and become invested in this version of Izuku Midoriya and the world around him.
But after thinking about it for a long time… I've decided that today will be the final day of this story.
Every story reaches its ending eventually. Not because the passion disappears, but because the journey finally arrives where it was always meant to go.
Writing this story has been an incredible experience for me. From the mysteries surrounding Garaki and Kurotsuki to the war arc, Izuku's hidden power, and everything leading to the finale… this journey became far bigger than I ever imagined.
There were times I felt burned out. Times I disappeared. Times I questioned whether I could finish it properly.
But despite everything, you all stayed.
You commented. You theorized. You waited. And you gave this story a life far beyond what I expected.
For that, thank you. Truly.
Today, I'll be finishing this story properly. No more delays. No unfinished ending.
No matter how emotional or chaotic the finale becomes, I want to give this story the conclusion it deserves.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me until the very end.
