-Alternative BNHA universe-

Unlike the original, this universe featured the Ackerman clan. The clan had superpowers similar to those in the AOT (Attack On Titan) universe. They had acquired these powers eighty years before the Quirk first appeared. The powers, such as they were, made the 'awakened' clan members as powerful as titans and inherited the combined combat experience of each previous Ackerman member.

These powers were awakened when one of the clan members risked his life. In this universe, the clan was one of the oldest families in Japan. When the clan elders found out that one of their members had awakened superpowers, they immediately covered everything up. The clan cut off the flow of information and silenced witnesses. Before these events, the Clan had been involved in the family business of trading.

Their business had brought them into contact with many officials over the years. This meant the opportunity to hide things from the public eye. After the trail was covered, the member who awakened their power, Levi Ackerman, was subjected to some scrutiny. Fortunately, Levi was cooperative. After awakening his powers, he informed the clan elders.

After hiding until the tracks were covered, the investigations began. The results of the investigations revealed that Levi had developed superhuman strength, endurance, and combat instinct. Long research into the source and continuity of these powers delayed them for several years. They tested the clan members by imitating the way Levi woke up. As a result of the tests, several more members had awakened their powers.

Levi's powers were awakened in 1918. The lack of technology and the complexity of the situation made the source of their powers unknown. Over the years, the Clan had many discussions about their future and the way forward. After years of study and testing, they realised that the powers were unique to their clan. With a collective decision, the clan had hidden their 'awakened' powers from society.

However, clan members who were awakened to hide could not go out in public. As long as they did not show their powers, they could not be detected, but accidents happened all the time. For this reason, the family opened a different line of work in the clan for the 'awakened' members. Since the clan was engaged in the trade, they knew enough about the dark side of the world. They also utilised the underground world when necessary.

Since the 'awakened' ones had to be hidden, the clan decided on two lines of work for these members. The first job was to protect the clan as a security guard. The second line of work was a darker, assassination. The reason why the second line of work was so dark was the change in the characteristics of some members who had awakened their powers. Some members were more aggressive and bloodthirsty, which they interpreted as a side effect of the 'awakened' powers and chose a useful job specifically for these members.

An important issue to bear in mind was the behaviour of family clans in Japan before the emergence of the Quirk. Clans were very conservative and subjective entities. They were completely different from society in terms of the rules and cultural structures that their members were expected to be brought up in and adhere to. The Ackermen clan was one of the best examples of such clans. The clan had a moral structure entirely in its own interests. Their most recognisable characteristic was their devotion to their families.

Once the clan had decided on their future course, they proceeded smoothly. The clan's success in trade was increasing day by day and the clan was getting richer. Of course, this was the part that took place in the daylight, in the darkness of the night, the assassination business was unprecedentedly successful. The family used Zoldyck as a code name to hide in the criminal underworld and carried out 100% successful assassinations.

'If you have enough money, death is at your disposal' was the slogan used to promote the Zoldyck name. Thus, the Ackerman clan continued to grow in legal and illegal society. As the only superpower owners in the world, their success was certain. Thus the name Levi Ackerman became a good luck charm for the clan. The first or second name of every newborn boy was always Levi.

For 80 years, everything had gone well for the clan. Until a luminous baby was born, and superpowers became the norm. The first appearance of the Quirk had shaken the foundations of human society. The superpowers they heard about in the story, the superpowers they dreamed of, were no longer unattainable. In 1998, with the appearance of the glowing baby, the known world was about to change.

Although the Ackerman clan was surprised by the developing events at first, they quickly gathered. The clan was no stranger to superpowers, but they were unfamiliar with these powers that emerged as Quirk. Their first reaction was to observe and analyse the developing situation. After the appearance of the first Quirked baby, Quirked people began to be born all over the world, like an epidemic.

The Clan had grown very large in population after years of accumulation and gain. With the first Quirk baby born in the clan, the whole clan was in a celebratory mood. They already had superpowers and with Quirk, their future would be brighter. At least that's how it should have been in theory. Four years after the Quirks appeared, governments began to lose control over the people.

Terrorist organisations began to use superpowered babies as weapons and defence tools. This was the first breaking point in the order. The second breaking point was that new Quirk babies born every day developed some mutations. As families began to abandon their children and ostracise mutant Quirk babies, society fell into chaos.

Acting on the foresight of the clan head of the time, the Ackerman clan converted their assets into precious metals and began to cut off their connection with society. This was the right decision because soon the known society was destroyed and wars broke out. Fifteen years after the first appearance of Quirk, the 'First Quirk War' took place. This war reduced the world population by twenty per cent. Five years after the world turned into a bloodbath, the first 'Vigilantes' appeared.

The 'First Quirk War' reached its end after ten years. The existence of vigilantism was gradually recognised by society. But in the meantime, a power was rising in the shadows. A figure called 'All For One', one of the symbols of the new order, was rising at top speed. Of course, at that time, very few people knew the true face of this person.

'All For One' was quickly accepted by the public thanks to his strangeness and beliefs. He took the Quirk of those who hated his Quirk and gave it to Quirkless people who wanted it. This was the face he showed to people. At the same time, in the darkness, he was manipulating people and making them his puppets. While 'All For One' was dominating Japan, the rest of the world was bleeding every day.

With the end of the First War, the vacuum created by the collapsed states and governments was quickly filled. After the vigilantes were fully accepted by the public, they began to be called 'Heroes'. The presence of heroes brought a new order to society. The cogs of the new order began to function rapidly. New laws and laws were quickly created on 'Quirk' and its users. Naturally, the new presence of heroes in society created new organisations calling themselves 'Villains'.

Although there was a new bloodbath during the establishment of the new order, it could not be compared to the war. It continued until everything showed its dark side. During these years, a certain minority learnt the true face of AFO (All For One). However, it was none other than his own brother who revealed the existence of the Demon Lord. AFO's twisted sibling love had created One For All.

With the strengthening of OFA (One For All) during its transmissions, it finally happened. When the calendar showed 2078, the 'Second Quirk War' took place. The influence of the AFO had spread all over the world over the years. In his desires and goal, he had completely withdrawn from the light and aimed to rule the world from darkness. However, his twisted love for his brother became the biggest obstacle to his goals.

Taking over OFA, All Might devote every ounce of his being to heroism after Sensei's death. Returning to Japan after years of training and experience, he began to hunt his greatest enemy. And so the second war took place. But how did these events affect the Ackerman clan?
