The impossible is not what can't happen, but what shouldn't happen. The super powered individuals known as Starborn are the envy of everyone. Everyone wants to be one, whether they want the powers themselves, the respect that comes with protecting people from monsters, or the money that comes with the job. Arden is one of the many wishing to become a Starborn. He wants the power to heal his sister afflicted with a supernatural sickness, and the money to escape the slums. It seems impossible to awaken, especially when the only thing Arden has going for him is a propensity to annoy those stronger than him. That, and a unique power that makes him neither a mundane human nor a Starborn. When an impossible being arrives and threatens to take away the few things Arden wants to protect, Arden is forced to become an impossible being in kind. With his newfound nature and powers, Arden finds that the things he previously thought to be impossible are now within his reach.
