Superhero Manager System Book 2: Breakfast Buffet
Daylight did not exactly bring him the peace that he was looking for, but nevertheless, there was just something rejuvenating about waking up in the morning and feeling like a brand-new person. With the confusions and dram of the previous day over, even with the loss that the Temple Guard had incurred, Arome was looking forward to what he could achieve as a manager. But first he would have to deal with the people coming over to see him today. But as it stands, he did not think that there was anything that could possibly spoil his good mood...well until he laid eyes on Astra... As if he was the most revolting being on earth, the moment she saw him, she retreated letting Luna come out who had no qualms in showing Arome just how lowly she thought of him. Well, they were free to think whatever the hell they wanted to think, it was not as if their opinions mattered to him. They were no more than clients, of course they were clients that were bound to him till the end of their lives but st
Superhero Manager System Book 2: Negotiations I
Arome leaned back, considering her words carefully while the tension in the room thickened. He had expected some form of confrontation, but Marisa's approach caught him off guard. He knew that whatever she proposed would be in her favor, yet the opportunity to potentially turn the situation to his advantage was too tempting to ignore. He studied her, looking for any sign of deceit, but Marisa's expression remained resolute, her eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and desperation. This negotiation could either forge a new alliance or lead to further animosity, but Arome understood the delicate balance of power at play. His pride and past grievances tugged at him, but the pragmatic part of his mind recognized that cooperation might be the most strategic path forward. With a measured breath, he nodded slightly, signaling his willingness to hear her out, all the while bracing himself for the complexities that lay ahead. The breakfast buffet, now a distant memory, was replaced by th
Superhero Manager System Book 2: Negotiations II
“Well, what is it you have to offer, I'm not saying I will accept anything. But what is it you want to offer?” Arome asked with a focused look on his face, at the same time he made sure to keep his eyes on the people around that looked like they were out of place. The bodyguards Marisa had come here with were not the only one’s present here. Arome could see even more people that seemed out of place within the restaurant, even among the staff that were serving them, he could tell that quite a few of them, moved with the kind of professional gait you would not see in a waiter or waitress. The way they carried themselves, the angle with which their bodies were presented, leaving one hand free in case they needed to reach for a weapon. Arome smiled, as he waved at one of the waitresses, surprising Marisa who was about to speak."Hello sir, please what can I help you with?" The waitress that Arome had called over asked him with a bright smile on her face. He nodded at her, then pointed at
Superhero Manager System Book 2: Negotiations III
Marisa looked like the only thing she wanted to do right now was to rip Arome’s face off. Even more so when she took into consideration the way Arome had shown such control over her daughter. But what Marisa did not understand was that Arome’s current display, especially with the way he just interacted with Luna was for the benefit of his cousin Bayo. Based on the intense look of fury and the embarrassed look of shame on Luna’s face, it seems he got what he was aiming for. It was obvious, that even a blind man from afar could see the look of longing Bayo sent Luna’s way. And even though it was reflected in her eyes too, Arome would never sit back and let Bayo have anything good, and most definitely not Luna. Since this fool cousin of his stole his throne, then Arome will steal everything else from him, and it seems at the very top of that list was Luna.Marisa clenched her fists under the table, seething with barely contained rage. She knew that Arome was playing a dangerous game, one
Superhero Manager System Book 2: Negotiations IV
The tension between the two cousins was palpable, each word and gesture charged with years of unresolved conflict and mistrust. Bayo's eyes blazed with fury, his fists clenched tightly by his sides. "You think you can control her, bend her to your will?" Bayo spat, his voice a low growl. "Luna is not a pawn in your game."Arome's smile was cold, calculated. "You underestimate her strength, cousin. She's not a pawn; she's a queen. And like any queen, she has made her choices. The oath stands."Luna's gaze flickered between the two men, her heart pounding in her chest. She had known this moment would come, but the reality of it was more intense than she had ever imagined. She wanted to speak, to defend herself, but the weight of the oath and Arome's presence kept her silent.Before Bayo could respond, Rowan stepped forward from his position at the entrance, his hand resting on the hilt of his gun. "Is this really the place for such a confrontation?" he asked, his voice steady and calm.
Superhero Manager System Book 2: Negotiations V
"Here is my proposal, which I will outline concisely for everyone’s clarity," Arome paused, relishing the palpable tension in the air and particularly the expression of anger from Bayo. "Firstly, the UNCH will facilitate the construction of a compound for me, which you will need to contract out to Falcon-Eagle Industries as a form of restitution for your inability to manage your own issues. This compound will be built according to my specifications. Marisa, you will enter into a 60/40 partnership with me and serve as an advisor in running my new independent agency.Furthermore, the UNCH will enter into a licensing agreement with my agency, allowing it to collaborate with them. This can be presented as a pilot program to enhance hero response times by delegating tasks to unaffiliated agencies that are in proximity to incidents. Naturally, we will participate in mission assignments like everyone else. Regarding recruits, I am aware that many are rejected annually; I will independently s
Superhero Manager System Book 2: Confrontation
Luna slowly released her grip, her eyes still burning with fury as she stepped back. Arome coughed and straightened his jacket, his expression unreadable. Kemi's presence was a reminder of the delicate balance they all walked, a balance that could tip into chaos with the slightest provocation."Luna," Arome said, his voice low and strained, "I understand your anger. But this is bigger than any of us. Bayo's actions and his existence can jeopardize everything I’ve worked for. And all of that is to pay him back for what he and his side of the family had done to me… what they did to my father. You and your sister are crucial to my mission, whether you like it or not. And that mission, is most certainly revenge, but at the end of it all, is to crate the greatest hero the world has ever seen, one that would shine so bright the moniker of the star lion would be buried so deep under it’s halo."Luna's jaw tightened, but she didn't respond. Instead, she turned on her heel and walked away, he
Superhero Manager System Book 2: Shopping
Convincing The twins to come along was easier said than done, but necessity required she do so. After all she also had nothing more than what was on her. So they went to the most fancy store, where Arome made sure everyone got suits. It was annoying for the others as no one else had his obsession for suits and looking slick and clean, but never the less, he got enough suits to fill a closet. Then he was the one dragged as the ladies got what they wanted. Commander Kemi and the twins went all out. By the time they were done getting clothes, Arome’s back account already had a slight dent to it.After that he visited a bank where he quickly opened up accounts for the twins and for Rowan. And then he left a sizable amount of money in there for them, their first bonuses from working with him. Then moving forwards they bought two new armored SUV’s. The car could only do so much when it came protecting them against attacks from powered individuals, but it could at least stop bullets and RPGS

Advancement!
“Is this it? This is where we’re going to be staying while here? It’s ugly.” Luna voice rang out from ahead of Arome, but he paid her no need as he moved around the abandoned club. For the duration of the time that they’ll be in San-Franmikyo, this place would serve as their base of operations. Arome was lucky he found the place, it had extra rooms a dance floor that Arome would transform into a lavish living room in the coming days.There were extra rooms that had probably seen the wrong sort of use in the past. But after cleaning up a bit they’re shouldn’t be a problem from the building to host all five of them. Amina and her brother Amina were always intended to be Arome’s personal life guards from the moment he had been born. His mother was insisted they remain with him, and that was how Arome decided instead of them just being bodyguards, they would serve as heroes of his agency themselves.[You Have Signed Two More Heroes and Taken further steps into becoming the ultimate manag
The First Mission
While construction was still ongoing on their base, Arome decided he needed to get in on the action. He was getting tired of waiting around and playing politics. As it was he had already sent Aunty Kemi back home, she was the head of the temple guards and had duties she needed to handle. Plus, she could not refute an order from his father, so she left with the crown prince.Arome gritted his teeth. His father being the crown prince was a title that was just there for show. He shook his head, there was no need to dwell on anything other than what was in front of him, and that was choosing the first mission that their team would have to deal with.Arome sat at his cluttered desk, a holographic catalog shimmering in front of him. The digital pages flipped silently, revealing detailed profiles of the world's most notorious villains. Each entry was accompanied by high-resolution images, crime statistics, and a dossier of their known powers and abilities.He scrolled past images of menacing
The Way Of Art
Somewhere In San-FranmikyoGrand States of Merica.Domingo Yen was many things, but a supervillain was not one of them. Those freakshows in their edgy costumes and self-righteousness, existed to make life miserable for everyone. They took away valuable artistic materials, these bastards done know they kill too much with their fights. They did not leave enough skin and concrete for his artful carvings to come to life.“Ahhh, I hate supervillains so much. They ruin all my materials.”“If you’re not a supervillain then what are you, asshole! a serial killer?”Domingo Yen turned onto the secluded street near the bay. He could hear the sound and spray of the sea, a powerful natural force that moved through everything. This inspired him greatly.He was dressed in his samurai kimono, his chest bare to the world and crisscrossed with garish scars that could haunt the dreams of the most resilient warrior. The oni mask on his face hung crooked to one side, exposing enough of his face and single
The Offer II
Arome gave an annoyed look to the glass that had just poisoned him, the secretary even continued to drink leisurely from his, acting unbothered. But nevertheless, everything this man just said has him more than a little worried. A virus that only this ability can heal, he found it hard to believe. There was another angle at play here, and regardless of what threats or offers this man threw his way, Arome would never willingly throw himself into dying over and over again, not unless he had no other choice.“I’m afraid I can’t help your Mr. secretary. Since you’ve never experienced it before, and seeing how hard you are trying to avoid it, dying is not fun. And only a fool will completely subject himself to death repeatedly. You don’t have nearly enough money in your bank account to make me do this. In case you’ve forgotten, I am still a prince. Our kingdom might not be worth much out in the wider world and cosmos, but we are still reasonably self-sufficient. I have no need for money, s
The Offer
Arome came back alive, choking on his own blood. He quickly turned to the side where he disgorged the entire contents of his stomach, dry heaving and struggling to breathe with each cow clench of his stomach. His suit was bloodied and smelled rather foul, whatever it was this virus was, it seemed like it was specially designed for supers.“I have to say that I am surprised, I did not expect you to survive that. And if you can survive that, it seems it would take me blasting you to atoms in a nuclear chamber before I can end you for good. There’s no guarantee if I chuck you into the sun you will survive, that might even strengthen you, the sun is a star in the end.”Arome gave him the middle finger, as he got back up to his feet and stumbled towards the door, he needed to get the hell out of here before he would do something he’d regret.”“And where are you going?” The secretary asked, looking amused as Arome stumbled away from him.“Isn’t it obvious, I'm getting away from your psychot
The Teacher
Unfortunately, Arome could not escape the event as quickly as he had wanted to, not before he had a one-on-one meeting with the secretary of the UNCH. It was how Arome found himself following the Secretary’s secretary down an empty hallway before coming before a set of massive double doors. The secretary moved to the side and pointed at the door. It seems from here on out Arome would have to go by himself.Arome took a deep breath and pushed the doors open, stepping into a room that was a stark contrast to the dimly lit hallway. The secretary's office was a masterpiece of luxury and grandeur, a testament to the power and influence that the position held.The room was bathed in a warm, golden light that seemed to emanate from the crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, their prisms casting a delicate dance of light upon the intricately patterned marble floor. The walls were adorned with rich, dark wood paneling, each segment carved with meticulous detail, telling stories of
The Summon II
“By order of his majesty you are not return home and take on an official post.”Arome’s eyes took on a hard edge on that, he might have a lot of guilt towards his parents, but there was no love lost between him and his grandfather. Some of the worst things he has ever had to do, had come from his orders. His grandfather was a different kind of monster that no one in the whole kingdom could match up to. He was ready and willing to use anyone and anything to get what he wanted.“I’m afraid I will have to decline father. As you can see, I have commitments and an agency to run. Idu does not need me to take on any posts. Besides any post that I can take up has already been filled, the kingdom already has a crown prince in the process of carrying out his ten years of service. And I am not coming back so that I can play second fiddle to him and his bastard father1!”Arome’s father hissed in annoyance as he slammed his hands on the table in front of him, the sound so loud that Astra jumped in
The Summon I
Arome was not stupid, he had gone completely off the script that had been given to him by the UNCH. But he didn’t care either way, this was his way of showing them that he was playing along, but also a reminder that they did not own him, not anymore at least. And what was the worst they could do to him, kill him? The last people that had thought killing Arome would solve their problems, had ended up finding out the hard way that he was not so easily gotten rid of. But still he had been able to make an impact, the tabloids would have a field day with the announcement and the speech. Those who were smart enough would have noticed the careful placed barbs in his words, his subtle way of throwing shade at the UNCH. For sure they would notice it, and he knew there would be a reckoning coming from them. The only way to do so would be to get so much stronger they would not be able to do anything to him. But they won’t make any moves early on, of course he was sure they would try and sabotag
The Event III
Propaganda, politics, games the elite play with the lives of the common man. Arome was now firmly stepping into that world. He was no longer a teenager with bristling anger against the world. A boy who could only see everything that had happened to him as unfair as he asked repeatedly why his grandfather did not love him. A boy who grew up seeing his father take care of their people wholeheartedly, teaching lessons of kindness, responsibility and the upholding of traditions in order to honor your ancestors.But most importantly, living your life the right way so that the person you see in the mirror, was someone you could be proud of. Arome’s entire life has been one bad choice after the other. The military might have been his grandfather’s orders, a punishment for a Wayward prince absent the family bloodline, but he had chosen to stay there. His banishment had been from his grandfather’s court, not the kingdom, but his own anger and stubbornness drove him into a life that filled with
