In a world where the gods gift a chosen few with great powers, Sam Shepard could be counted among the weakest of the weak. His crappy healing ability can’t even cure minor injuries without having to drain Sam’s own life force to do it. Hero society doesn't think Sam's useful, and after failing to heal those he was tasked to save, Sam couldn't help but agree. But it turns out that giving up the hero's life isn’t easy. Not when one’s caught in the machinations of the gods themselves.

After Sam gets pulled into rescuing the hero Thunder, he inherits a strange ability from her: the training system that taught Thunder how to become a top hero. Triple-A apparently holds the secret to leveling up one's power, a feat previously thought to be impossible. Not that it'll be easy to achieve...

A series of challenging missions and the occasional hero lesson from the system’s creator guarantee a lot of cuts and bruises in Sam's immediate future. But at least he finally gets the chance to go from zero to hero. Oh, yeah, there are also ghastly horrors and megalomaniac supervillains to contend with on Sam’s path to becoming the symbol of hope that humanity needs.

Sam didn’t see the sucker punch before it was too late, and he was flying, no, more like crashing through the window that looked out onto the street and smacked hard against its asphalt. 


“Really… have to… learn how… to crash better,” he wheezed. 


Sam raised his head in time to see the front bumper of a Mercedes Benz racing toward him. The driver had seen him too late to swerve away from the collision. Luckily, Sam managed to roll away before he was flattened by the car because he was pretty sure that would have been the kind of catastrophic damage Triple-A was always warning him against. 


The driver looked out his window and yelled, “Get off the road, jackass!” before speeding off.
