“Heroes killed my parents. Now I wear the mask of one. Until I can bury them all.”
At seven years old, Hernan Vale watched his parents — two powerful heroes — brutally executed in their own home by the very people they trusted most: the legendary super-team known as the Zodiac 13.
They thought he was dead.
 They made sure the world blamed villains.
 They covered their tracks.
 But Hernan survived — and never forgot.
Ten years later, under a false name, Hernan enters the prestigious Hero Academy, hailed as a prodigy. To the world, he’s a rising star. To his classmates, he’s charming, calm, unstoppable.
But inside?
 He’s a weapon. Waiting. Smiling. Counting names.
As he trains to become a licensed hero, fights real villains, and rises through the ranks, Hernan plays the long game — earning the trust of the Zodiac, learning their routines, studying their weaknesses. One by one, he’ll bring them down.
And this time, he won’t hide in the closet.
But the deeper he goes, the more blood he spills — the more he wonders if he’s becoming worse than the monsters he’s hunting.
 And when love, loyalty, and lies collide, Hernan may have to decide:
Will he save the world like they think he will...
 or finish burning it down?

When you can't erase a message, you kill the ones who listened. And Concord? They're not targeting leaders anymore. They're targeting memory itself.


Scene: High Orbit Concord Spire — Control Deck


Commander Selik watched the post-broadcast analytics in silence.


The feed had reached 3.2 billion active viewers.


Over 9 million reposts.Two million unauthorized downloads.Thirty-two nations now openly questioning Concord media regulation.


One operative asked, "What's the containment strategy?"


"Martial Lockdown. Begin system-wide purge."


"Mark the resistance as hostile sovereign state. Level Omega threat.All who share the data are accomplices.And if they resist—kill them."


Scene: District 4 – Concord Enforcement Center


Digital feeds across major cities flickered.


Then the message blinked across every device:

Global Warrant – Target: Hernan Vale (Rook)Designation: OMEGAAllegiances: UnknownCrimes: Treason. Memory exposure. Armed insurrection.Reward: "Uncapped."


Aya watched her screen as the list of targeted civilians updated by the second.


"They're scanning everyone who reposted. Civilians. Kids. Retired Concord engineers."


Tessa sat cross-legged on the floor, going through evac maps.


Aya added: "They've shut down all ConcordNet channels outside official feeds. Messaging apps are dying."


"Then we give them a different frequency."


Scene: Ava's Broadcast Hack — Blackline Transmission


The buried communication relay Solaris used during the first Corefall.


It was no longer legal. No longer traceable.


"Signal live," she said. "Old-world tech. Analog echo link.Can't be scrubbed. Can't be blocked."


"They outlawed memory.So now we teach it underground."


In the city of Halvik, a family of four pulls their son from Concord's power-assessment clinic and goes dark.


In Sector 7, ten university students open a new stream under the tag "We Are Not With You."


In Eastern Zone 3, two old Concord trainers delete their own archives and send backup copies to Resistance nodes.


The fight wasn't just military anymore.


Aya returned with a new batch of flagged names.


Tessa leaned in. "Some of these people are kids."


"Then we start building something for them."

Final Scene: Concord Council – Live Room


Aries watched the new broadcasts erupting from underground.


"Good. Let them run. Let them scream.It's easier to kill them when they come out of hiding."
