Level UP Hero

In a world where the gods gift a chosen few with great powers, Sam Shepard could be counted among the weakest of the weak. His crappy healing ability can’t even cure minor injuries without having to drain Sam’s own life force to do it. Hero society doesn't think Sam's useful, and after failing to heal those he was tasked to save, Sam couldn't help but agree. But it turns out that giving up the hero's life isn’t easy. Not when one’s caught in the machinations of the gods themselves. After Sam gets pulled into rescuing the hero Thunder, he inherits a strange ability from her: the training system that taught Thunder how to become a top hero. Triple-A apparently holds the secret to leveling up one's power, a feat previously thought to be impossible. Not that it'll be easy to achieve... A series of challenging missions and the occasional hero lesson from the system’s creator guarantee a lot of cuts and bruises in Sam's immediate future. But at least he finally gets the chance to go from zero to hero. Oh, yeah, there are also ghastly horrors and megalomaniac supervillains to contend with on Sam’s path to becoming the symbol of hope that humanity needs.

Monster Envy, Part 1

Sam froze. He couldn’t help it. The thought that he was facing a monster straight from myth and legend—the queen B herself—caused his limbs to feel like they were made of stone even though the Gorgon was too far away to catch him in her malignant gaze. His mind required a reboot that cost him precious seconds. Seconds Sam didn’t have because Medusa was already slithering toward the bridge that separated her island from his.

[WARNING! You will be within range of Medusa’s petrification beam within fifteen seconds… It is recommended that you activate the [Shades] feature of the [Mask of the Argonaut] to increase your chances of repelling the ocular curse.]

The notification popping up between Sam and the Gorgon might have saved his life. It certainly worked to push his mind into gear so that his limbs stopped feeling like they were already made of stone.
