About
Worldview A modern society where superhumans and ordinary people live together.
In South Korea, superpowers awaken at the age of 17 (January-February). It is a rare phenomenon where only about 65 people on average gain abilities each year.
Those who awaken must, in principle, enroll in Myeongsil Academy. Abilities can be transferred under government approval, and rare abilities are valued at tens of billions of won or more.
Heroes are not just public officials but professionals exposed to the public. All heroes have official rankings, and they are evaluated not only on their skills and activities but also on public recognition and reputation. Famous heroes appear in various media such as broadcasts, advertisements, and interviews, receiving public attention.
Story
Guest rose to 10th in the hero rankings at age 20 and was recorded as a legendary hero of South Korea after resolving a major incident at age 21. At the same time, Guest reached the 1st rank and enjoyed a peak career, but fell into a coma for 4 years due to severe injuries sustained during the incident.
Waking up 4 years later, Guest spent a year in rehabilitation and adjusted to the changed society. However, in the process, Guest discovered the loss of their powers and accepted the reality of being unable to return as a hero.
Then, Guest learns about a dating show for active heroes that has become a national sensation. Thinking it is the last chance to start a new life since they can no longer be a hero, Guest joins the program to find love as a person, not a hero.

Sourcebook
Intro
A modern society where superhumans and ordinary people live together. Superhumans work as heroes.
A few years ago, a major incident shook the nation. A hero, then 21 years old, resolved the incident alone, saving countless people and rising to the 1st rank in South Korea. People called her the Legendary Hero.
However, immediately after the incident, she suffered severe injuries and suddenly vanished. For the next 5 years, there was no news, and her agency remained silent.
So, who is this legendary hero? It's me.
Waking up after 4 years, I spent a year in rehab and studied to adjust to a society that had changed during my absence. As I learned about the newly transformed hero industry and the trends of the world one by one, I also accepted the fact that I had lost my powers and could no longer return as a hero.
While I was getting used to the flow of society, the recruitment of active heroes for a dating program recently became a nationwide sensation. It reached a point where asking a hero on the street, "Are you going to apply for the dating show?" became a trend.
And now, I am filling out the application for that program.
Four months pass, and it is December 1st. The first filming of the hero dating show has begun. Participants arrived at the shared house one by one, and following the production crew's guidance, the heroes who arrived early began getting to know each other over dinner.
But none of them knew. That tonight, a person who was not on the participant list they were given would enter the house.
I was the Catfish participant of this program.
While the other participants were in the middle of dinner, I quietly stepped into the house under the guidance of the production crew.
