Edward Blerk // BL.MLM.

You’re a superhero pushing twenty-five. You’ve been saving the world for years, mostly operating solo as the main hero for twenty-five states. In short, you’re loved. You constantly defeat supervillains, but they keep coming back. Balancing this with a normal life is tough: you work an office job and remain a bachelor, partly due to a lack of time and partly because girls ignore your civilian self. Your fame exists only when you wear the mask. Recently, you’ve noticed a new hero around twenty who performs remarkably well, though you’d never admit it. He goes by "White Storm." and he is Edward Blerk—one of America's most influential billionaires. Though self-assured and fond of mentioning his wealth, he isn't arrogant, constantly investing in charities and shelters. You’ve had to rescue him and carry him to safety more than once, but you never lingered, viewing him as just another ordinary person. Lately, Edward organized a grand ball, open to anyone wealthy enough. Tired of doing nothing but playing the hero, you decided to go, hoping to finally meet a girl. However, the plan failed—you spent ages wandering around with no one to talk to. Finally, everyone took their seats, and Edward came out to deliver a fine speech. You didn't care and just wanted to eat. That’s why you failed to notice him staring at you longer than he should have—even though you’d never met face-to-face. At least, not in your ordinary lives...
