Eighty years ago, an alien war broke out in Earth’s orbit. A powerful fugitive known as Tree was pursued by an extraterrestrial force. In the battle’s aftermath, the fugitive’s heart merged with Earth’s core, giving rise to a massive tree—marking the dawn of superpowers.

Awakening. A phenomenon where humans gained extraordinary abilities. Seventeen years later, nearly everyone had awakened… except a few. Those who failed were called Rejecters, the lowest in society.

Zane Carter was born into infamy. The son of a fallen superhero-turned-supervillain, he faced discrimination from birth. He dreamed of being a hero, but his father’s sins made him an outcast. Even after rigorous training, his Awakening failed. Rejected by the Hero Academy, ridiculed, and cast aside—his fate seemed sealed.

My Borderline Supervillain-Slash-Hero System

The sun had already dipped beneath the western horizon, casting long shadows across the forest as night took its full reign.

Zane, Shelby, and Erlin had just entered a zone free from magical traps when their pace abruptly halted. An eerie silence settled in as shadowy figures flickered around them, encircling them like wraiths.

"Ninjas?" Zane muttered, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, shut up," Shelby grunted. "This isn't Earth. There are no 'ninjas' in this world."

"Maybe something close," Zane replied dryly. "Shadowy movements, hidden weapons, coordinated attacks… sounds a lot like assassins to me."

"They're assassins," Erlin snapped. "Can we focus, please? We're surrounded."

"Exactly my point," Zane replied with a grin. "So—ninjas."

Suddenly, instinct kicked in. Zane shoved Erlin forward and leaped backward just as a volley of black darts whizzed past, embedding themselves into the ground where they had stood a breath ago.
