Proto-Esper

Troy a disabled teen gets injected with a mysterious serum that gives him supernatural powers, how will he overcome challenges to save his loved one?



Sixteen-year-old Troy Tillsman has spent half his life in a wheelchair, cracking jokes to hide the ache of feeling invisible. But when his enigmatic nurse, Nina Hosihima, injects him with a glowing green serum, Troy’s world explodes—literally. The serum awakens Esper abilities, the ability to command his body and things around him.



Now, Troy is a Proto Esper: part of a dying breed of superhumans forged by the serum’s unstable magic. His new gifts come at a cost—every use fractures his body, threatening to kill him. Dragged into Bastion, a shadowy organization protecting espers, Troy joins a ragtag team of survivors: a pyrokinetic with a temper, a telekinetic showman, and a geo-kinetic war vet with a sword. Together, they’re humanity’s last defense against the Pendragon Family, a ruthless dynasty mass-producing superpowered soldiers.



But Nina’s secrets haunt him. Was she his savior, or a traitor who doomed him? As Troy’s powers grow, so does the target on his back. To survive, he must master the storm inside him—before it tears him apart.



Proto Esper is a high-stakes thrill ride where disability meets divinity, loyalty wars with betrayal, and the cost of power is measured in breaths. What would you sacrifice to fly—when every second in the air could be your last?
