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!

'WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F-'

With this final thought, Lucas dies in a pool of his own blood on the sidewalk.

A little while later, up on the 13th floor… 


‘You know… Jousting. Charging at each other on horseback, stabbing each other with long pointy sticks, all that good stuff.’ 


[...I mean, yes, there was something similar a very, very long time ago…] 


‘Good! What was it called though!? It’s bad enough that you think I’m crazy, I don’t wanna know what she’ll come up with if I use a term that isn’t even from this world. Come ooonnn…’ 


[...Hastiludes… But, considering she doesn’t have enhanced endurance like you do, she probably won’t-] 


“MARSHA! I KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO!” Lucas’s infectious degree of enthusiasm as he suddenly shouts this out makes Miss Masher’s face light up before he even makes the suggestion. 


“What!? What!?” Matching his eager tone, Miss Masher roughly sets down the heavily damaged mannequin torso she was lining up with the others, all set in a row to either side of the elevator doors. 


Lucas pulls his phone out, opening up a web browser window.
