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.

Lucas pulls open the large glass outer door to Pie Palace’s vestibule, beckoning for Jonathan to go in ahead of him as usual. 


Thankfully for Jonathan, he doesn’t have to touch the handle on the inner door either, as the service bot maître d' had noticed their approach and opened the door for them. Its gaze stays on Jonathan long enough to acknowledge his presence before shifting its attention to Lucas a few steps behind him. 


Once Lucas walks into a comfortable conversational range, the bot addresses him. “Good evening, honored guests. Would you care for a table for two, or..?” 


“Huh? Oh, uh, we’re actually meetin’ up with a bunch of people that are already here.” Lucas has an absent-minded tone as he answers, peering past the programmed ‘person’ in his proximity in optical pursuit of their party.
