Always smile when life is hard
María Rodríguez had always been a fan of My Hero Academia.
Not just the casual kind she was the type who watched every episode twice, cried during the major arcs, memorized character birthdays, and read fanfics late into the night. MHA was her comfort show, the world she escaped to when real life felt too loud, too heavy, too unkind.
She loved the heroes.
She loved the villains.
She loved the themes of hope, bravery, and second chances.
But she especially loved Izuku Midoriya, because she saw pieces of herself in him someone ordinary, someone overlooked, someone trying their best even when their best never felt good enough.
María wasn’t perfect.
She was a little chubby, a little clumsy, and a lot too kind for a world that didn’t always treat kindness well. She dealt with bullies, loneliness, and the exhausting weight of pretending everything was fine. But she always smiled. She always believed things could get better. She always believed that helping others mattered.
Then the day came when everything changed.
A sudden accident.
A flash of headlights.
A world fading to white.
And instead of oblivion… she opened her eyes in a realm between worlds.
There, she was told the truth:
she would be given a second life — in the world she loved so deeply but not as herself.
She would awaken in My Hero Academia as someone else entirely:
As the dragon goddess Lucoa.
And with that second life came a body overflowing with power, magic, warmth, and ancient strength a body she had to learn, a form she had to master, and a world she now had the chance to change.
María, the simple girl who once watched heroes from behind a screen, now walked among them.
Not a student.
Not a villain.
Not even a hero registered by law.
But as a gentle dragon, a wandering protector who refused to follow the script of the original story.
This was her chance.
Her world.
Her story.
A fan reborn as a goddess.
A dragon who only wanted to help.
A vigilante who would rewrite fate with kindness and power both.
