Homelander: New Legacy

[8] : Lost in Greatness

Don't Forget to Review!!

What does a person do after becoming superhuman?

Would they be like Superman, going around saving people, becoming a god among men?

Normally, one wouldn't think so.

Superman becomes a god among men because he's had those powers since childhood, and someone told him to use those powers to do the right thing. After experiencing many things, he eventually becomes Superman.

When a person suddenly gains Superman's powers, their first instinct isn't to save people like Superman. After the initial excitement, they start thinking about how to use these abilities to improve their own life.

Human weapons can't harm you. Even nuclear bombs can be avoided if detected early enough by quickly flying out of the blast range.

There's almost nothing in this world that can stop you. Doesn't that thought seem exciting?

Roger was initially excited too, but his moral principles prevented him from abusing his superpowers. He started thinking about using these abilities to do what he could.

Helping others, saving ordinary people facing life-threatening crises.

But after doing these things, Roger suddenly felt it was meaningless.

After all, he wasn't a hero. Before his transmigration, he was just an ordinary person. After transmigrating, he became the extremely self-centered Homelander. Under Homelander's influence, it was already a testament to his strong will that he didn't do bad things.

Let alone constantly doing good deeds.

Understanding everything his powerful abilities brought him, and realizing his current identity and possessions, Roger felt a sense of emptiness.

He felt like he had lost his purpose in life.

Before transmigrating, Roger's goal was to save money to buy a house for himself. Ideally, he wanted to pay in full, but if finances didn't allow, a mortgage was also acceptable.

But after transmigrating, his small goal was easily achievable. He could afford not just one house, but ten.

So what was his goal now? To be revered like Superman?

Roger had already achieved that, or rather, Homelander had already achieved it, and he had done it well. Now, wherever Roger went, fans would scream, wanting to take photos with him and get his autograph.

Roger could appear in front of cameras, becoming a globally famous celebrity.

If he wanted to be a superhero, he could. With super hearing and super vision, he could observe in all directions and hear everything, potentially saving people before disasters even occurred.

He could do whatever he wanted.

But it all seemed meaningless.

Having gained immense power and wealth, having over-achieved his life goals, Roger suddenly didn't know what to do.

He thought about clearing Homelander's name, but... Homelander didn't need that. In front of the cameras and in the eyes of the world, he was already perfect.

As for others who didn't understand him, they would come to understand over time. So now, Roger felt truly lost.

Maeve, looking at the genuinely tired Homelander, found herself at a loss for words.

At first, she even found it a bit laughable that Homelander would feel tired, but looking at Roger's expression, she couldn't laugh anymore.

She could see that he was serious.
