Mark Careed dreamed of being a hero ever since he was 8 years old. Of fighting monsters outside the city walls, of going anywhere he wanted instead of only where it was safe, of either killing kaijus himself or being up there in the thick of it, with the real heroes. Mark is almost 18 now, close to taking the real Tutorial and Awakening his Power, and achieving that dream. But his hopes and plans fell through when the False Tutorial estimated his future Power as a brawny. A simply stronger human. This should have come as no surprise. 90% of humans on Earth Awaken as brawnies. Mark doesn’t want to be a basic brawny. He wants to be something more. He needs to do something big to change his fate. Something drastic. Something like seeking help from an archmage, a true Hero of Humanity.
