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.

Shortly after Jonathan’s hasty departure, Mark shifts his attention from the doors over to Lucas. “Well, he seems... enthusiastic.” 


“Eheh... Though I guess it’s not too weird. His jacket was coverin’ it, but he got a ton of blood from that dude earlier on him. Not too surprisin’ he’s eager to clean up, even if he didn’t have OCD. We were late enough for dinner as it is, and if he ran back home it’s not like the shower has superspeed too.” Lucas awkwardly scratches the back of his head as he makes some excuses on Jonathan’s part. 


It proves effective, as Mark’s slightly accusatory expression smooths out into a more understanding one. 


“Hmm, fair. I can’t really blame him, then. I generally try to wash up right away, too. It’s such an unpleasant feeling.” As Mark expresses his sympathies, Lucas freezes momentarily whereas the other two that are still present don’t give any notable reaction.
