Keagan stood amidst the dimly lit records office, lost in a daydream as he mechanically cleaned the shelves that housed countless paper files. It was a monotonous task, one that gave him plenty of time to retreat into his thoughts and escape the harsh realities of his life.As he wiped away the dust, the sound of approaching footsteps jolted him back to reality. His heart sank as he recognized the familiar voices of his tormentors – Marcus, the arrogant supervisor, and his lackeys, Todd and Kyle. These individuals took every opportunity to make Keagan's life miserable within the confines of the company walls.They sauntered into the room, their presence suffocating, their laughter dripping with malice. Marcus, a tall and imposing figure with a sneering expression, directed his gaze toward Keagan and said, "Looks like we've found our little janitor slacking off again. Maybe he needs a reminder of his place."Todd and Kyle snickered, joining in the mockery. Todd, a stocky guy with a cre

Keagan stood in front of the worn-out door of the run-down building, his heart pounding with excitement. He hadn't seen his younger brother, Josh, happy in a long time and today he planned to make it happen. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, eagerly awaiting Josh's reaction.The door creaked open, revealing Josh's tired face. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw Keagan standing there, a bright smile illuminating his face."Keagan?" Josh asked, his voice filled with drowsiness."Hey little bro," Keagan replied. Tension built up as Keagan stood face to face with Josh who had no clue what was going on. Keagan finally pointed to the end of the house, and tucked underneath an overgrown bush stood a shiny new bicycle, its vibrant colors contrasting with the dull surroundings. "Happy birthday, Josh! I know it's a little late for that but a promise is a promise"Josh's eyes lit up as he beheld the beautiful gift. He couldn't believe it. Being homeless had made it difficult for the

As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the city, Emberlyn and Keagan made their way to the designated meeting point for their night patrol. The air crackled with anticipation as they joined the other squad of C-class heroes awaiting their orders.Keagan and Emberlyn reported to their patrol, they found themselves surrounded by a diverse group of C-class heroes. Among them were Dante, a brooding and mysterious guy with a dark aura, and Lily, an outgoing and affectionate girl who seemed to light up the room. They also encountered two goofy brothers, who brought a sense of lightheartedness to the team. Leading the group was their mentor, a retired B-class hero who had taken on the role for the sake of the pay, preferring to continue working rather than living in a retirement home.Dante and Lily shared an unorthodox romantic relationship, a pairing that seemed unlikely at first glance. While Dante emanated an aura of darkness and brooding intensity, Lily was a beacon o

Keagan's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly activated a hidden gadget within his suit. Brilliant beams of light erupted from his armor, piercing through the suffocating darkness that had ensnared them. As the shadows weakened their grip, Keagan and Emberlyn seized the opportunity to break free.In the midst of their escape, both of them couldn't help but notice the subtle enhancements in Keagan's suit. New mechanisms glimmered, indicating upgrades he had acquired. Emberlyn's curiosity flickered briefly, but the urgency of their mission pulled her focus back to the looming threat before them.A surge of courage washed over her, an indomitable will that seemed to emanate from deep within her being. Unbeknownst to her, it was one of the newfound skills Keagan had acquired, the ability to inspire his allies in battle. She couldn't comprehend the source of her sudden empowerment, but she embraced it wholeheartedly.Keagan's voice resonated with newfound authority as he addressed Emberlyn,

Keagan returned to the park, the same spot where the mystical door had transported him to the other realm. A surge of questions flooded his mind, compelling him to seek answers from the system. With a quick summon, he initiated a rapid-fire session of inquiry."Hey system, did all that really happen? Did I actually defeat a villain?" he asked, his voice filled with both excitement and disbelief.The system responded in its convincingly human-like robotic voice, "Yes, all your actions have been recorded in your activity report, accessible at any time."A sense of satisfaction washed over Keagan. However, he couldn't help but notice that not much time had passed in the real world. It was only a two-hour difference from when he left in the evening to now, even though it felt like he had spent an entire night in the other world. Perplexed, he decided not to dwell on it for now, as a jumble of emotions overwhelmed him.Some passersby cast curious glances at him, seemingly talking to himsel
