What does it mean to be a true hero? By day, brash and cocky Micheal Frills is just another high school student navigating friendships, family, and the mundane struggles of teenage life. By night he’s a vigilante cleaning up the streets one criminal at a time. But when a sadistic mastermind, Shadow, emerges from the darkness, Micheal finds himself trapped in a twisted psychological game that will test everything he believes about justice, and morality. Shadow doesn't just want to defeat Micheal—he wants to break him. To prove that beneath the hero's ideals lies a killer waiting to emerge. Shadow's method is brutal and calculated: he doesn't attack Micheal directly. Instead, he systematically destroys everyone Micheal loves. His friends become targets. His ideals become weapons turned against him. And the line between hero and killer begins to blur. True Hero is a character-driven story that follows Micheal's desperate attempt to maintain both worlds—the peaceful slice-of-life moments with friends at the park, late-night movie marathons, and school drama that remind him what he's fighting for, and the gritty reality of street justice that threatens to consume him entirely. A slow-burn psychological thriller that examines the price of heroism, the weight of morality, and the thin line between justice and vengeance. Through the eyes of Micheal Frills and the time spent around his friends, True Hero explores what happens when virtues like trust, hope, and courage are weaponized against good people. True Hero contains mature themes including graphic violence, sexual assault, suicide, abuse, trauma, and death. Reader discretion is advised.

A ghost trained to infiltrate, deceive, and eliminate without hesitation. She has survived by trusting no one and feeling nothing. Her latest mission is simple: kill Damian—the cold-blooded Mafia boss whose secrets could collapse empires—and disappear like she always does. But Damian is not a man who dies easily. He is ruthless.

Surrounded by enemies and drenched in blood, the last lesson his father ever gave him was simple: “This is why we never run.” Since that night, Lucien has believed one thing— fear is weakness, and weakness gets people killed.
