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.

No Rest for the Wicked or the Heroic, Part 2

“This almost feels like déjà vu,” Sam said.

It wasn’t just the sound of his steps disturbing the silence of the ruined passageway. There was this foreboding atmosphere all around him too.

'It probably feels the same as that time I sent you into—'

“Goodwill Asylum!” Sam realized. “It does feel exactly like that... down to the heart-pounding anxiety tightening on my chest...”

When Sam turned that final corner, he found a boar’s remains blocking the path. No, it hadn’t been cannibalized. The electrical burns on its charred hide suggested the horror had been defeated by someone who shouldn’t be using her power at all.

“Godsdammit,” Sam grumbled.

He felt the wind on his face and finally noticed what would have been obvious if the sight of a corpse hadn’t demanded his attention first.

“Wasn’t there a door there?” Sam wondered aloud.

'I’d wager something extra-big smashed through it in a hurry,' Chiron guessed.
