Chapter 82- Queen’s Blessing
More than a century ago, the arrival of strange stone gates of various shapes brought forth an unusual leaking of energy, which began to transmute humans, slowly awakening a strange kind of energy within them.
Given this power, which was once fixed and did not awaken further, it was considered akin to superheroes without some leveling system; it made people, driven by their fantasies, start wearing capes and act as heroes, naturally striving to become someone who earned fame through popularity.
However, things did not remain as simple as that. The mutations led to the emergence of several mutated beasts and insects, causing every creature to transform into monsters.
This instantly turned my friends into superheroes who became famous for acquiring powers. Soon, it became a battle of life and death.
Those heroes who had once thought life would be much easier with superpowers now faced the onslaught of monsters.
With the establishment of several organizations to manage these heroes, the Hero Association came into existence.
With fewer heroes and an increasing number of monsters, a significant economic shift occurred in the world, where normal weapons proved ineffective, except for missiles, which naturally had their limitations.
This led humans to rely on superheroes.
However, naturally, where there is light, there is also shadow.
Those who awakened powers did not always choose the path of heroes; some turned into what are referred to as supervillains.
This led to the establishment of the Villain Syndicate and other organizations supporting villains.
