The_handsome_fatty

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.

Until one day…

In all this time, the agents hadn't left the ruined city once. They camped in the shadows of collapsed towers, ate rationed meals, and trained regularly to stay sharp.

As the morning sun rose through the haze, the three agents gathered as usual for their daily check-in, their breaths visible in the cold air of the cursed city.

This time, Agent Kassam broke the silence.

"If they don't return today, we're pulling out," he said bluntly. "Let's assume they failed the trial and died somewhere in this wasteland."
