I'm Second-in-Command to Both the Heroes and the Villains

[The setting has changed, everything else remains the same]

Thirty years after the Great Cataclysm, humanity entered an age of awakening. Twenty percent of people would awaken extraordinary abilities, while thirty percent would suddenly become infected and mutate.

Chu Ran belonged to the remaining fifty percent: a completely ordinary person.

While his classmates cheered over awakening their abilities, he was doing practice problems.

While his neighbor suddenly became infected and mutated, then was shot dead, he was memorizing vocabulary.

While ability users fought in the skies above the city, he was wondering whether the cafeteria's sweet-and-sour pork ribs would sell out early again today.

There was nothing wrong with that.

Chu Ran pushed up his glasses and continued waiting in line at the cafeteria counter.

His life plan was simple: get into a top university, find a stable job, and live an ordinary, peaceful life.

Until one rainy night...

The leader of the country's largest organization of ability users, soaked to the skin, rang his doorbell. Clutching documents soaked limp by the rain, he yelled, "Ran, Ran! The paperwork you haven't approved is piled three floors high! I'm going to work myself to death. Please save me!"

At dawn the next day, the leader of the villain alliance, number one on the wanted list, smashed through the window, wrapped Chu Ran in a blanket, and prepared to carry him off. Through gritted teeth, he said, "I can't take it anymore. When you're not there, those idiots are completely out of control!"

Then the villain alliance leader stepped out of the bedroom and locked eyes with the leader of the righteous organization.

Watching the two SSS-rank ability users battle it out in his shabby rental apartment, Chu Ran suddenly realized how serious the situation was.

First, his future self seemed to be the second-in-command of both the righteous and the villainous factions.

Second, he had no memory of any of this.

Third, he probably wouldn't be making it to school today.

And also...

#How did my future self join both the hero and villain organizations as someone without abilities?#

#I don't have any abilities, right?#

#...Do the leaders of these organizations know their second-in-command is a double agent?#

#They probably don't, right?#
