Jett Fulgen [Urban Fantasy Superhero LitRPG]

Book 1 complete. Book 2 underway. Jett Fulgen’s birthday goes spectacularly wrong. He loses his job, wrecks an underground skid race, and gets arrested by his childhood rival. Then his locket breaks, a glowing menu appears in his vision, and a voice in his head makes an inappropriate comment about said rival—right before the assassins show up. That’s when everything changes. After inheriting the power of the one-of-a-kind Fire Guardian, Jett is dragged into a world where magic is regulated, heroes are licensed, and every move is watched. In exchange for a pardon, he’s conscripted by a powerful corporation that trains sorcerers to support an overwhelmed police force. Overnight, he becomes a public asset—monitored, evaluated, and judged. Fighting monsters is the easy part. Surviving scrutiny, corporate politics, and media attention is where things get dangerous. Now Jett has to master volatile new powers, uncover the truth about his family, and figure out who’s actually on his side—while powerful interests close in, and the next attack is already coming. Luckily, he’s not alone. He’s got: • an awkward tech genius best friend• a former rival who definitely isn’t making things easier• a chaotic gearhead who isn’t subtle about her crush on him—or anything else• a PR agent who might be on his side …and a condescending, womanizing spirit companion who happens to be a talking chili pepper. What could possibly go wrong? An urban fantasy / superhero LitRPG about power, perception, and what happens when everyone’s watching. Readers can expect: • An urban fantasy / superhero LitRPG set during a modern magic renaissance, where corporations scramble to adapt.• RPG mechanics that govern magic only—no universal stat grind, no omnipresent menus.• A capable but imperfect protagonist navigating visibility, responsibility, and scrutiny—not pure power fantasy.• A diverse cast, including female characters with agency, authority, and conflicting goals.• Politics, corporate intrigue, and media pressure—where perception can be as dangerous as any enemy.• Humor under pressure, including banter, absurdity, and a chili pepper spirit companion.• Real stakes and consequences, where attention, reputation, and survival all matter.• Aesthetic and cultural influences from anime and JRPGs—without parody or overplayed tropes.
