Jett Fulgen [Superhero LitRPG]

[Spring 2026 Writathon Winner! 67k+ words added during contest period] Book 1 complete. Book 2 underway. Jett Fulgen’s birthday goes spectacularly wrong. He loses his job, wrecks an underground skid race, gets arrested by his childhood rival, and inherits the power of the one-of-a-kind Fire Guardian right before the assassins show up. In exchange for a pardon, Jett is pulled into G-Tech, a corporation that licenses and trains sorcerers to support an overwhelmed police force. Overnight he becomes a public asset: monitored, evaluated, marketed, and judged by people who all have plans for what he should become. A hero. A weapon. A liability. A symbol. Possibly an idiot on fire. Jett is reckless, stubborn, and spectacularly unprepared. He isn't built for corporate politics, public scrutiny, leadership, or being anyone’s hope. But he is not alone. He has an awkward tech genius best friend, a childhood rival who tries to see the best in him, a chaotic gearhead whose crush on him is anything but subtle, a PR agent trying to make him look heroic without turning him fake, and a condescending spirit companion who happens to be a talking chili pepper. Now Jett has to master volatile powers, uncover the truth about his family, survive assassins and public scrutiny, and figure out what kind of Guardian he actually wants to be. The world keeps trying to turn him into a brand, a weapon, or another jaded cog in the machine. His friends have other ideas.
