In the early days of the spiritual qi revival, almost every superpowered individual chose to keep their unique abilities hidden, like trump cards.
That way, they could catch their opponents off guard and strike when they least expected it.
The authorities spent huge amounts of money, effort, and time gathering intelligence on the abilities of illegal users.

Whichever side won Shen Kai would gain the advantage of knowing the other side's cards.
The course of events rested entirely on him.
With battles between groups of superpowered individuals and psychological suppression, this is a battle-of-wits story about supernatural abilities.
