About this story
Izuku Midoriya was busy recovering from the aftermath of his battle with Overhaul when suddenly he found himself transported to another world... together with Tomura Shigaraki, the man who has tried to kill him and his friends multiple times and made destroying society itself one of his life goals.
Now they're forced to share a single body while managing a magical Dungeon (a giant death trap for adventurers), all at the behest of a definitely insane deity responsible for their appearance in this world. While constantly arguing and trying to make each other's life as miserable as possible. Oh, and their final mission is to kill a hero of all people (and only one of them is enjoying the prospect).
They have been isekai'd against their will and now they're going to make that everyone else's problem.
[Once we're done with the release backlog, this fic will be published weekly, usually on Fridays].
The Core Problem is published on Royal Road. FicGems only lists the story's details and links to it; the chapters stay on the original site.
