Set in the Arcadia Universe, where the gods have allowed men to wield powers beyond our wildest dreams. How this power is used, however, is totally up to the bearer and they have the three choices. Be a hero, a villain, or live their lives like the rest of society. However, not all humans possess extraordinary abilities and the police have to protect the lives of citizens, and in the process, the government uses many measures that may doom society to destruction. This story follows Nathaniel Masters, who has to face many challenges along his journey, as he eventually rises up to face the threat posed not only by villains but by those he has sworn to protect. "There I was, the son of two amazing superheroes. Known far and wide for their amazing bravery, brilliance and power. I won't lie, I am proud to call them my parents, but something burned deeply on the inside. Not only the fact that I couldn't tell anyone that they were superheroes, but also the fact that I was no more human than you. I was shunned by my parents' friends, humiliated by their kids, whose power was not only amazing but grew stronger. My family pretty much ignored me. I had no other siblings and my friends, well they had other stuff to do. Besides the continuous support and acceptance by my grandfather, my only option is to dream.... that is, until something happens." ### Book's Top Rankings ### #3 in #projectsuper - December 2019

"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")
