unHero
He wanted purpose. He got powers. Turns out, being a hero is way harder than it looks.
This is a superhero story—but not the typical kind.
The story follows Zayd, a regular guy who’s stuck in a life that feels meaningless… until the Universe gives him powers and tells him he’s supposed to save it. The problem? He’s not a perfect hero. He’s messy. He doubts himself. And trying to help doesn’t always go the way he planned.
It’s got cosmic battles, weird creatures, sarcastic banter, a little bit of heartbreak, and a whole lot of trying-not-to-screw-it-all-up energy.
