Synopsis
Leonine: The Nanotech Hero Tyler had everything. Money. Protection. A future already bought and paid for. What he never earned was purpose. Born into the empire of Olive Energy Corporated, Tyler grows up learning one rule. Power comes from wealth. When he’s bullied, he pays it away. When he fails, money cushions the fall. Comfort makes him careless. Privilege makes him hollow. Then, on the night meant to crown his life, everything shatters. Public betrayal. Public humiliation. No amount of money can erase it. For the first time, Tyler feels real pain. The world doesn’t pity him. It laughs. And instead of breaking, he makes a choice that changes everything. A tragedy follows. An explosion. Hundreds dead. His father gone. His body broken. His mother lost to a coma. Guilt becomes his shadow. Rage turns inward. Survival feels pointless until a hard-edged soldier named Kelvin drags him back from the edge and refuses to let him stay weak. As Tyler rebuilds himself, he is forced to face the human cost of the empire he inherited. Grief that cannot be bought off. Lives that cannot be replaced. Accountability becomes his new currency. A risky experiment restores his ability to walk and awakens something more. His mind sharpens beyond human limits. Old research. Forbidden ideas. A doorway to impossible energy. And a power that will change the world. But power attracts enemies. Assassins hunt him. Terrorists test him. Secrets surface. Heroes emerge. And Tyler learns that his suffering was never random. Someone has been pulling the strings from the shadows. Someone who wants the world to burn. Forged by loss and driven by responsibility, Tyler steps into the armor he was never meant to wear. He is no longer the heir. He is no longer protected. He is Leonine. And the war for Earth has only just begun.

Chapter 1 - Losing Everything

He grabbed his gun, firing multiple shots rapidly towards me. I quickly flipped my office table, briefly shielding myself. That didn't Stop The Assassin from vigorously shooting at me with his legs firmly planted To The Ground, Hands gripped Tight On The AK-47 He Aims To End Me With. Behind His Mask stared soulless eyes, cold and emotionless. I knew many people were going to come after me, but this guy's particular motive was unknown to me. Attacking me in my office and knowing exactly when I'd be there had to be some kind of inside job. Regardless, I Pushed A Secret Button On My Belt And Suited Up! My Red nanotech amour covered my entire body. I Wasn't Going to Let This Bully Potentially Put The Lives Of Innocent Civilians At Imminent Risk.

 At once, I sprang into action, firing a heat blast at him, which he skillfully dodged by ducking. He did a chinese get up. Bouncing back up, he seemed not affected by my attack, but the gun was knocked out of his grip. We locked eyes in sync, knowing he was now On The Low End Of The Stick. He Attempted To Maneuver, But I Kept On Blasting, Trying So Hard To Calculate His Steps, Anticipate His Next Course Of Action And Stop Him On His Tracks. Somehow He Kept Dodging My Attacks. It Was Obvious This Foe Wasn't A Mere Opponent And Was Highly Trained And Skilled Without Warning. He Jolted Right In Front Of Me, hitting me with a brass knuckle. Luckily for me, I was protected by my helmet. I grabbed his hand, twisted it and headbutted him. He did a backflip, freeing himself. He did more flips, giving us distance.

 Before I could think he threw grenades at me, the explosion shattered my office windows and smoke engulfed the room. He walked in my direction hoping to confirm the killing, but unfortunately for him, I was protected by my suit. I activated them before the grenades went off. Before he could back off, I quickly went off the offense, kicking him multiple times, punching and flipping him over. He tried using his weapons on me, but none could penetrate my amour. Suddenly, he did a front flip and catapulted himself towards me like a projectile. Grabbing my torso, we fell (from my office located on the top floor) from the window. I looked up and saw the night sky and pieces of glass darting towards us as my life flashed before my eyes. 

 Hi, My Name Is Tyler a six-one, classic rich kid. You're probably wondering how I ended up like this, how I got a supersuit and why a ninja assassin is fixated on ending my life. Well, let's go back to where it all started.... The beginning. 

( 9 Years Ago ) 

My parents were rich, like really rich. I was a spoiled kid who grew up in the suburbs. I had a perfect childhood, getting everything I wanted before I asked, maids and butlers were waiting at my Berk and call you know, the classy, rich people stuff.

 My parents moved to a new country after they got married and a few years later they had me. Regardless of how the movies may paint It Out to be, Life abroad was tough for me. I constantly got teased and bullied by a kid named Andreas. He was this chubby tall kid who looked too old to be in our grade. He kept teasing me about being a nerd and having a weird accent as the local language wasn't my first language.

 But there's something about being rich though it gives you power and power corrupts. I got fed up with the constant teasing and came up with a brilliant idea. I bribed two of the big school kids to beat Andreas up and warn him to never cross my path again. The news spread like wildfire and none of my classmates dared report to the teachers and, soon enough, I became power hungry for more. I could do anything as long as I had money.

 Because of this, my grades tanked, and I couldn't care less because I could pay the principal and even the school board off and fix my grades. Anything is possible. You just have to know the price. Fast-forward to a couple of years. I was the hottest guy in college. Coming in with different luxury cars every week, being the most popular kid, everyone wanted to be friends with or impress because they wanted clout and, for the most part, life was good. 

 I was the captain of my school's soccer league, not because I was the most talented, but because I was rich as hell. This got people really upset and made me lots of haters, but that wasn't new. My dad was the owner of one of the biggest power plants in the country. We got death threats and hate regularly. I've gotten used to it, and they obviously can't touch me.

 I graduated from college and hold a PhD in mechanical engineering as I wanted to take over from my father someday and be more involved in business. 

(Current Day)

My parents threw a grand party for me. Everyone was there, my dad's business partners, friends and acquaintances. It was a night to remember. I was taking photos with my best friend Miguel when, suddenly, paparazzi queued up taking photos of a limousine. The driver opened the door and there she was as radiant and elegant as ever my girlfriend crystal. As Breathtaking As Ever, She Slowly Walked Towards Me, Hugging Me And Pecking My Cheek As The Audience All Clapped. She whispered in my ear:Congratulations Honey. And smirk 

 She handed me a present as we all continued celebrating. Crystal and I finally got some time to catch up as she told me about her vacations and travels on various yachts. I was glad I had taken over the business as I'd get to go on travels myself.

 Crystal stood up telling me she'd be right back as she stormed off, forgetting her phone on the table before I could tell her she was nowhere to be found. Shockingly! Her phone was unlocked, and I saw a message received minutes ago from a shocking sender from my best friend, Miguel, which read "Babe, where are you I'm waiting?"

 I was agitated as I stormed the entire party looking for them. I left no stone unturned and even told some of my guards to help me look 

I suddenly got to a hallway as I heard strange sounds coming from the bathroom. I opened the door and to my horror, there they were!.... All Snuggled Up Together. Miguel and my unfaithful girlfriend. I angrily walked out on them as they chased after me trying to explain, but were stopped by my bodyguards. My mom ran towards me asking me what happened, but I couldn't give her an answer as I galloped into my car telling my driver to move and, just like that, I left my own party.

 I went back home, trashing and smashing everything. I laid my eyes on screaming in agony. After everything I've done for them both, this is what I get in return. The maids cleaned up after me as some of them tried to calm me down, but I shut out any advancement. Engulfed in rage, I went into a frenzy, drinking in a stupor till I passed out.

 The next morning, I woke up sore and heartbroken, unlocking my phone and seeing tons of missed calls and texts from both of them. I quickly blocked them on all socials, deleting their numbers as well. Funny enough, the whole incident was carried by the news and blogs. As some people sided with them claiming I deserved it for being an arrogant rich kid, few people sympathized with me. I was cheated on, and somehow I was still the bad guy.

 I threw myself into work learning more about my father's business and working on some projects of my own. I am currently developing a nanotech-based astronaut suit that can withstand extreme pressure and the atmosphere in space. I was far from done, but with the amount of resources at my disposal, this wouldn't take long and when I'm finally finished people will be able to travel to different planets without using a rocket. I joined my father to inspect a newly launched power plant his company opened in the heart of the city. The aim was to give unlimited power supply to every individual and resident, but the backlash his company received was massive, as some people claimed the plant polluted the environment, but I couldn't care less. There were saving lives and making money as we did it. There's nothing wrong with that.

 In The Car, my dad conversed with me, but I couldn't pay attention as I was still healing from the ordeal that occurred during my party. "My Scientists Are Close To Making A Breakthrough," Father Said. At This Rate, We Could Finally Access Cyberspace and learn the secrets of the energy signals we get from there. If we can harness it, we could revolutionalise the power industry as it is. Maybe we won't get to use harmful chemicals anymore and, finally, get some good ratings while still doing well. My Dad Was Excited I Could Careless, but yeah, I smiled and applauded him, pretending I was fascinated.

 We drove around the new plant from a safe distance, inspecting the building and ensuring all was well when, suddenly, the entire thing exploded! Destroying almost everything in sight, flipping our car and convoy. The last thing I remember was seeing my dad trying to loosen my seat belt as I blacked out...
