Superpowers abound. Villains rule the world. A transmigrated dork that has absolutely no idea what’s going on. 

Strong-armed by the Superhero Enhancement System into the thankless job of endlessly performing good deeds in a world where such actions are often met with violence, Lucas Lynn doesn't have much choice in regards to using his supposed gifts.

It’s bad enough having to pretend to be a supervillain, but how exactly does Boss System expect him to save the world with only the help of a homeless orphan, a dog that’s smarter than he is, and a yoyo? 

Oh, just trick some supervillains into becoming superheroes instead? You make it sound so easy!

With this final thought, Lucas dies in a pool of his own blood on the sidewalk.

Jonathan darts over to walk alongside Lucas’s left side, finally rejoining the party. After a mix of greetings, they collectively resume their journey towards their intended destination. 


It doesn’t take Lucas very long to notice the small gas can that Jonathan is carrying in his left hand, raising an eyebrow as soon as he sees it. 


“Seems you’ve been busy, yeah? Got any fun stories after goofin’ around this time?” As Lucas’s curiosity gets the better of him, he can’t help bringing attention to the unusual contraband. Additionally, in the department of things he can’t resist, he also reaches over and messes up Jonathan’s hair while he asks his questions. 


Jonathan glares at him a bit for the attack upon his tidiness, but doesn’t make any motion to avoid him. Once Lucas has his fill, Jonathan finally reaches up to neaten his hair again.
