—WSA 2025 ENTRY—
I’m not a superhero. Never wanted to be one.
I’m just a mechanic… with a side hustle in petty crime—just another nobody trying to survive in the chaos of New York City.
Then everything changed.
A strange cosmic stone, something called the SYNTHORIUM—blew me up.
Somehow, I survived.
Somehow, I merged with its system.
Now I’ve got powers I don’t understand, choices I never asked for, and a city that might just need saving.
So what now?
Do I stick to the shadows and keep running from my past?
Or do I step up—and become the kind of hero this world doesn’t expect, but might actually need?
Author’s Note:
This is an original sci-fi novel, which was inspired by two things:
1. To give readers a hero who isn’t just interested in leveling up stats and systems—but has a heart, choices, and real emotion and personality.
2. And also to give you all villains with depth—because no one is evil just to be evil. Everyone has a reason.
And yeah, if you get Marvel or DC vibes, that’s no coincidence, they were also part of the inspirations.
This is a world to get lost in—so add it to your library, drop a review, invite a friend and enjoy the ride.
Hello Guys... Here's a quick review from the author... ---- This story was born out of my desire to offer something meaningful to readers—a new kind of hero they can relate to, someone grounded, flawed, and human. I wanted villains who aren’t evil just for the sake of it, but who have their own motivations, histories, and struggles. I also aimed to create a sci-fi world that feels real and emotionally relevant, not just distant or futuristic for spectacle’s sake. Yes, you might sense shades of Marvel or DC in here—they’re part of what inspired me. But beyond the capes and powers, this story is about people, choices, and the gray areas between right and wrong. I hope it offers you something fresh, yet familiar. Currently I've paused the two other novels I'm writing to focus on this and in all capacity give you readers the best.
