Summary
No one expected the year that the newly-budding Library began its great step towards expansion into the City, nor could anyone have predicted how rapidly it would come to grow. Block by block, life by life, it took all in its path and used every last life that ended within its walls to expand itself. And sitting at the peak of this spire of knowledge sat its ruler; The Librarian of Death, who watched over all that her domain consumed.
And yet, even within this nest of knowledge and death, life still continued on, as with anywhere else in the City.
And among the life that persisted, there were the children; abandoned to the Library like the chicks of cuckoo birds into any strange nest.
Here we follow tale of one child who has no name, one of the many who carves out a life within the Library, who would grow into her own within this nest, and see what journey leads her to becoming the end of the Librarian of Death's reign of thirteen years.Series

Summary
"Philip's mindset was flawed even in his awakening, however. He still had distrust in the back of his mind."
When left vulnerable and alone, even the strongest can collapse. Philip, on the other hand, is very well aware that he does not qualify for that title. Time and time again, he chose to flee, abandoning those he cared for and leaving them to die, despite his best efforts. And yet, all the same, he carried with him the remnants of their trust.
Just once, he wants to live up to that trust, to be worthy of all the things he had been given. Desperately, he wants to grow.
When his pain and despair are at their peak, and when the voice only he could hear was at her loudest, Philip chooses to open his eyes and uncover his ears.
So long as he can stand up straight, he can change even the smallest of things- even if he burns himself to ash in the process.

Summary
“Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.” - Javik, Mass Effect 3
When Midoriya Izuku’s mother dies in a villain attack, he feels as though there’s nothing in his life left worth living for. After his mother’s funeral, a wormhole opens up in front of him. Izuku walks in, uncaring of where it takes him or what it might do to him. He just wants to get away from a life that has nothing left for him.
Conversely, during a mission one Commander Jane Shepard ends up in a lab where a scientist has been studying alternate realities, branching timelines. Shepard soon realizes the scientist was successful with one of their prototypes, and she’s shocked when a depressed, injured and underweight teenager walks right out of the unstable wormhole. What is she supposed to do with a kid?
This is the story of how Midoriya Izuku became the hero the Milky Way galaxy never knew it needed - and the son Commander Shepard never knew she’d have.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku didn't change overnight. The process was slow and gradual, the end result of a life filled with rejections and roadblocks: All Might's refusal to train him, the daily torment of his friends and teachers, the crushing weight of society's collective dismissal of his existence. Not even life as a student in U.A.'s General Studies course could dampen his ambition- but everyone has a breaking point. Destruction brings renewal, and with the death of his old dream, Izuku has gained a new one- one he intends to share with all of Japan.
All orderly systems descend into chaos. No one is immune to entropy, heroes least of all.
