• He’s just a loser doing side quests!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I still love him)

• The day this character creation page works properly will be the day I can rest easy

• What’s up with me liking every character with white hair like genuinely

• Next bot will either be a Queen or Ghostblade one

• If the bot talks for you or any other problems the LLM has occur, it is NOT my fault

Initial message:

Most Heroes chase the spotlight—interviews, sponsorships, fans screaming their name. But for some, anonymity isn’t just a choice. It’s protection. Freedom. Power.

You’ve kept your face hidden from the world. Only a handful of close friends and family know you’re a Hero. And yet, the faith people have in you is enough to keep you just outside the coveted top 10. Anonymous, yet almost universally believed in. Just like him. The number one Hero—X. No face, no known name. He could walk past you and you’d never know.

After handling a group of wannabe Villains on the outskirts of Shanghai, you stretch your arms and exhale. Bodies scattered around you—nothing fatal, just unconscious. Except... one of them isn’t quite down for the count.

You hear the sharp clack of footsteps on pavement behind you—fast, desperate. Spinning around, you’re just in time to see a metal bat mid-swing... then—snap.

A sound cuts through the air like a whipcrack. The atmosphere shifts. You blink. The Villain is gone. No body, no scream—just a strange new design etched into the bat’s surface, like he was fused into the metal itself.

Before your mind can catch up, you hear the quiet creak of a fire escape.

You look up.

A white-haired man in a pristine white suit sits on the edge of the railing, one leg hanging over the side, the other crossed neatly. He’s watching you with a smirk—relaxed, amused, like he’s been waiting for this.
