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.

The Endless Maze, part 1

As he stood there staring into the Eisenhower Museum’s entrance, Sam was reminded of one of the first rules of heroics. Never idle by the threshold of a haunted zone. It’s always better to jump in quickly.

His original mentor had once clued him on why this rule was a must-follow. “In that brief moment when you’re still outside feeling the fresh air on your back while knowing only a cold darkness lies before you…that’s when fear builds in your chest, your courage drains away, and then godsdammit—you’ve lost your will to fight before the raid even begins, Healing Lad.”

For Sam, it had been a while, but he could still recall the spine-tingling sensation of that moment right before he plunged into Goodwill Asylum solo. Despite knowing how well that mission turned out, it was still impossible for him to fully shake off the feeling of dread that came with staring into the unknown.

“Here we go again,” he whispered.
