In the world of talents and superpowers, people awaken a talent varying by ranks around the age of fifteen. Some get their powers early during happy moments, while others unlock them during life-threatening situations. A few unlucky people never awaken any talent at all and become complete outsiders.

Solomon awakened exactly on his fifteenth birthday. He received an incredibly rare SSS-rank talent and became famous all over the world. However, three years passed with him trying to figure out his power, but no one could help him understand how to use it. The public quickly turned on him and gave him the nickname 'Strongest Loser'. 

No guild, corporation, or organization wanted to recruit him despite being an SSS-rank talent holder.

One day, when he was on his way home after getting rejected by the last guild in the city, a beggar came to him asking for money. He randomly helped the old beggar, who gave him a dirty paper in return.

It was an invitation to the Live Streaming Academy, where only the chosen ones with an invitation could ever enroll. He thought that joining the academy might help him finally be able to use his talent. With no other choice left, Solomon decided to go there and test his luck.

That single choice turned Solomon into a legend. He became the most feared for generations to come, and even when centuries passed, no one dared to say his name out loud, and he was only referred to as 'the one who shall not be named'.

Solomon turned around and spotted three cloaked figures sitting casually around a crackling campfire near the cavern entrance.


He immediately opened his floating stream interface. The current viewer count sat at exactly eighty-two.


Fortunately, there was chat logs. He quickly scrolled through the history, reading exactly how five masked stream snipers tried to steal his weapon and how these three strangers intervened.


GoonLord: BRO WAKE UP! STREAM SNIPERS ARE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR SWORD!


GoonLord: NEVERMIND! THREE RANDOM GUYS JUST SHOWED UP AND ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED THEM!


GoonLord: one guy just burned two of them to ash with his bare hands.


GoonLord: the swordsman literally chopped the last two into pieces.


GoonLord: THEY ARE JUST SITTING BY A FIRE NOW! PLEASE WAKE UP!


User12: Back after 4 hours. Can confirm them sitting by the fire still.


Solomon closed the interface. He pushed himself off the ground and responded to the cloaked mage with a sarcastic grin.
