Synopsis

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny.

Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain in the most superhero riddled city in the world, Perry’s never felt…adequate. He’s got no talent for magic, and not a scrap of superpowers to his name.

When The System boots and unlocks his powers, it forces him to follow in his father’s footsteps, but he’d rather take after his mother…

Maybe there’s a way he can do both…

He even opens his own business in order to help his friends and complete strangers who acquire a newfound respect for him, assisting him in his travails.

With the guild no longer a secret, Hephaestus needs to grow as strong as possible to face her mounting threats.

Ambitious gangs, battling against mechanized traps, and brawling with capes are only the beginning. Behind the scenes, a hidden enemy works to settle an old score, one that has burned for decades. This secret scheme will not only endanger Tori, her friends, and the guild, but the very world itself.
