The end of war never means peace. After a century of bloodshed, the United Realms has finally defeated the beastkin. For Jet Edwards, victory feels hollow. The woman he loves vanished on the battlefield, and when he finally returns home, he discovers his city has fallen under the grip of a corrupt empire ruled by an orc crime boss. She offered him a place at her table. He refused. But when he discovers his first love standing at her side, everything changes. Behind a mask, Jet becomes the nightmare of every gang, hitman, and corrupt officer standing between him and his city. As his legend grows, so does the number of women drawn into his orbit; each one bound to a decision from his past---their own trajectory to shape his future. What To Expect: - First person pov- A superhero origin story- Romance (harem)- A strong MC
