Chapter 1 : Midnight Flames

The smell of sizzling steak filled the kitchen. Gen flipped the pan smoothly, watching the butter melt into the meat. Cooking was tye one thing in her life that made sense. No surprises, no sudden visions — just her, the food, and the heat of the stove.

She placed the steak on a plate, ready to enjoy her meal. But before she could take a bite, her smartwatch buzzed.

[Breaking News: Mystery Hero Stops Another Robbery!]

Gen raised an eyebrow, muttering to herself, "Mystery Hero?Really?They need a better name."

She glanced at her phone for a moment, seeing the same news flash on her screen.

"Another robbery. Just how many does it take before they start calling me by my name?"

She leaned back in her chair, looking out the window. The city was alive with flashing lights, honking cars, and loud music from a rooftop party . Just another normal night.

Then, another buzz. But this time, it wasn't her watch.

It was a voice in her head.

—Damn it, I'm gonna get caught. I should've just stayed home—

Gen's eyes narrowed. That wasn't her thought. Someone nearby was in trouble. She quickly set her phone down and stood up, pushing her plate aside.

"Alright, alright," she grumbled to herself .

"Dinner can wait"

She grabbed her black leather jacket and pulled it on, then walked to the balcony . The cool night air brushed against her skin.

As she stepped forward, her phone buzzed again. She glanced at it.

[Breaking News : Mysterious Hero Saves the Day Again!]

Gen rolled her eyes. I'am not even that mysterious."

She shook her head and stepping off the balcony. Yes she can fly…

She fell for a moment, then suddenly caught herself in midair. A smirk played at the corner of her lips as she shot forward, soaring between the buildings.

Meanwhile...

Across town, inside a quiet clinic, Dr.Lee was finishing her shift. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, humming softly as she cleaned up her desk.

Her colleague, Dr.Kim, leaned against the doorframe, watching her work. "You know, Lee, you should really take a break. You've been here for hours."

Lee looked up with a small smile. "I'm fine. There's always someone who needs help."

"You're too kind. But you know, sometimes I think you need to take care of yourself a little more. Maybe get out, have someone fun?"

Lee shook her head, her lips curling up in a gentle, innocent smile. "I'll take a break when I can. Right now, someone might need me."

Dr.Kim chuckled, pushing off the doorframe. "Alright, Doctor Lee, just don't work yourself to the bone. We need you."

Lee grabbed her things and tossed a last look around the clinic. "I'll head home soon.

Thanks for reminding me to relax."

She stepped out into the cool night air,

feeling the weight of a long day settle on her shoulders. She looked up at the moonlit sky. Maybe I'll grab some dinner first"
