HARNESS: Zero

In a world fractured by the Rift, where superpowers called Crests are granted to a select few and rigidly controlled by the Covenant Accords, only the elite 500 heroes can use their abilities without facing permanent suppression. Enter Rho Valence, a cheerful underdog labeled a powerless "Zero" at the floating fortress of Helix Crown Academy, where he's mocked, isolated, and assigned to a storage closet dorm.

But Rho hides a game-changing secret that defies the system's unbreakable rules. Teaming with a band of overlooked misfits, he navigates brutal prelim battles, turning humiliation into high-stakes triumphs that spark whispers of an unprecedented anomaly. As the Hero Commission's highest alert looms, Rho's playful facade cracks under growing scrutiny, forcing him to decide: stay hidden or unleash a force that could upend everything.
