The Red Fox has a nose for trouble. He’s a rising star of the Journeymen Rank heroes, and he's even defeated his first villain! But he’s about to make the biggest mistake of his career. In searching for the next Supervillain, he's uncovered a conspiracy that threatens to take down everything he holds dear. Soon, he'll need to run around America gathering the only people strong enough to stop them — Superheroes. Can The Fox rise from the ashes of defeat? Can he beat a villain that seems to know his every move? A new golden age of heroes is dawning. Does the Red Fox make the cut? What you’re in for: *Action, drama, heartbreak, and daring superheroics. *Weak to Strong progression with speedbumps. *Superpowered melodrama (think X-men) in a big, messy world full of original heroes (like Invincible or Dispatch). *An optimistic setting, with technology more like that of the 90s. Think message boards, not social media. *Consistent action and superpowered combat with real, grounded stakes. Heroes can get hurt. What to expect: *Gritty, grounded tone. Epistolary elements (in-world letters or transcripts). *Sporadic romance scenes that fade to black when needed. Multiple love interests, but no harem. *Heroic violence that sometimes, but not often, dips into gore. *Infrequent, but consistent discussion of the ethics of superheroing. Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Hiatus! I only upload here, and Patreon. If you see this book elsewhere, report it.
