<p>Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.</p> <p>Eighty years have passed since the end of WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution.</p> <p>Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hopinng he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon.</p> <p>Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home.</p> <p>--------------------------------</p> <p>This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too.</p> <p>The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists.</p> <p>Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.</p>
