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 Origins of Tragedy, Part 2

Much, much later, after the sun had already set, Mother Malta stepped out of the Gates of Argus to meet the Shepard family. But Serena wasn’t with her.

“Your Excellency,” Steven bowed his head.

Adele did the same, although she was quick to raise her head again and ask, “Did something happen? Where’s Serena?”

Even Sam looked up expectantly at the high priestess, and he was quick to pick up on how old she suddenly looked. A pale, grave face looked down at Sam, and he knew instantly that something had gone terribly wrong.

'Oh, no… Please, gods, don’t let this be bad news,' he prayed.

“I am truly sorry,” Mother Malta said in a gloomy voice that had lost some of its authority. “Your daughter—”

“No,” Adele whispered.

Steven held his wife as she began to shake in place. Tears started to roll down both their cheeks.

“W-what happened?” he asked.

“The gift… it was too strong, and neither her body nor her mind could endure it,” Mother Malta explained.
