Fame! Fortune! Powers! You name it, Metas can have it in less than what it takes you to spell their name. You just need a System and bam! You're swinging sky-crappers around and kicking villain (or Hero) asses, with the medias licking your boots and your excessively cringeful name going down on history, for better or for worse.
Oh, but there's a catch. You have to be the lucky one in two thousand.
Lawrence is as far from lucky as one can be. He's no Meta. He can't spit freezing fire from his mouth, summon adorable monstrosities or make people hallucinate with his eyes. He is nothing but a freelance programmer, one whose life has been full of boredom and luck (i.e. lack thereof). He couldn't care less about the world of superpowers, as long as it stay away from his life...
But of course, that's not going to happen...
BE WARNED!!! This is a parody on the supervillain sub-genre, with a lot of dad jokes, bad puns and a knack for ridiculousness. So expect lots of that. Oh, and cookies. Can't forget the cookies!
Story really starts boiling around 15-20 chapters so stick around and see before making a judgement. Please?
