In the final battle against the Demon King, Shadow stepped in for the Hero, delivering the finishing blow — and perished alongside the Demon King.
When she opened her eyes again, Shadow found herself in a different body, in a different world. Though she had once crossed continents with the Hero’s party and experienced countless cultures, this place was unlike anything she had ever known.
Carriages that moved without horses. Boxes that let people speak across great distances. Screens that showed moving images. Towers that pierced the skies.
This world was vibrant and prosperous — even the poor rarely starved. But humanity here had its own natural enemies: invaders from another dimension.
Fortunately, this world had its own protectors too.
They were called Superheroes.
The good news? Shadow’s new body — now called Mai — had the potential to become a superhero.
The bad news? That potential was abysmally low.
But Shadow had never been one to rely on talent.
