Jett Fulgen [Superhero LitRPG]
novel
Books 1 and 2 are complete. Book 3 is in progress. Jett Fulgen's birthday goes spectacularly wrong. He loses his job, wrecks an underground skid race, gets arrested by his childhood rival, and inherits the power of the one-of-a-kind Fire Guardian right before the assassins show up. In exchange for a pardon, Jett is pulled into G-Tech, a corporation that licenses and trains sorcerers to support an overwhelmed police force. Overnight, he becomes a public asset, monitored, evaluated, marketed, and judged by people who all have plans for what he should become. A hero. A weapon. A liability. A symbol. Possibly an idiot on fire. Jett is reckless, stubborn, and spectacularly unprepared. He is not built for corporate politics, public scrutiny, leadership, or being anyone's hope. Fortunately, he is not alone. He has an awkward tech-genius best friend, a childhood rival determined to see something worthwhile in him, a chaotic gearhead who refuses to let him self-destruct without supervision, a PR agent trying to make him marketable without sanding away everything real, and a condescending spirit companion who happens to be a talking chili pepper. As Jett struggles to master volatile powers and uncover the truth about his family, the world around him keeps expanding. Corporate agendas, politics, media pressure, ancient magic, and enemies who want to control or destroy the Guardians all collide around him. The world keeps trying to turn Jett into a brand, a weapon, or another jaded cog i
