The Scumbag's Guide To Heroism

Waking up in another man's body is a classic trope. Lukas Belmont, a transmigrant with a library of webnovels in his head, knows exactly how this is supposed to go.Waking up as the powerless, orphaned ward in a house of super-powered heroes, with a system interface demanding he get laid to level up? That’s just another day.He’s the Unmarked son of dead legends, three months from the entrance exam for Halloran Academy. His stats are garbage, his social status is ‘charity case,’ and his only path to power is the Scumbag System.And the System is a passive-aggressive, trolling interface that offers him reality-bending powers through a gacha mechanic funded by one thing: raising the ‘Temptation Gauges’ of the women around him.His first quest? It’s to smack the ass of Sloane Fitzgerald—his fiery, super-powered psuedo-sister who sees him as a brother and a pervert in equal measure.The penalty for failure? A fifty-percent reduction of his manhood. Permanently.In a California city where heroes are the new celebrities, Lukas must navigate the brutal politics of the super-powered elite, hide a power system nobody can detect, and survive an academy that eats the Unmarked for breakfast. He’s got the meta-knowledge of a webnovel addict, the tactical mind of a survivor, and a system that’s half-tutor, half-blackmailer.But can an insect with a gacha system really climb a ladder built for gods?He's about to find out, one humiliating quest at a time.===This is a work of fiction.
