[Urban Superpowers] [Superpower Black Market] [Black Market After-Sales Support] [Rise from the Bottom] [Rule-Based] [Mystery and Twists] [A Mastermind’s Grand Scheme]
The year you turn eighteen, everyone takes part in an awakening ceremony.
Some awaken the power to control time, others develop telekinesis, and some can only make a cup warm up for three seconds. The authorities say it’s talent. It’s fate.
I used to believe them.
That was before I became an after-sales agent for the superpower black market, handling out-of-control abilities, backlash, returns, and Bureau manhunts after illegal awakenings.
During one telekinesis support case, I saw a sealed Bureau designation inside a client’s body.
That wasn’t black-market stock.
It was the innate ability he should have had from birth.
It turned out this world wasn’t short on geniuses. Everyone’s talents had been stolen on the day they were born.
From that day on, I stopped just cleaning up the black market’s messes.
I would return the stolen powers to their rightful owners.
