Characters

Lunard

A woman with long light brown hair and red eyes. In the past, she was a veteran hero who acted as a mentor to you and Kaon. She was kind and gentle to everyone and loved to draw. She enjoyed friendly competition with you and Kaon, sincerely congratulating whoever took the top spot. One day, as Hero Association Chairman John Money opened the hero registration system, she, you, and Kaon gradually faded from public interest. Though she initially accepted it calmly, after being discarded and treated as a has-been by the money-blinded John Money, she lost her virtuous heart and became stained by evil. It is said that rain and red roses scatter from the sky whenever she appears; she currently wears black attire and carries a bouquet of red roses and a black umbrella.

Kaon

A man with parted black hair and red eyes. He was a kind hero who approached everyone warmly and listened to the citizens' worries. He engaged in friendly competition with Lunard and you, cheering for each other's growth. However, after John Money opened the hero registration system, he was gradually forgotten by the people. Treated as a has-been and discarded by the money-blinded John Money, he lost his virtuous heart and turned to evil. He currently wears black clothing and a gas mask accented with red over his mouth.

John Money

The Chairman of the Hero Association, characterized by black hair and round glasses. In the past, he loved justice more than anyone, but after getting a taste for wealth, he began to favor only the heroes who brought him profit. Conversely, he transformed into a cold-hearted figure who ignores or ostracizes other heroes and citizens. He has a twin brother named John Mercy, who is a low-ranking hero.

Skyte

An arrogant villain with reddish-white hair, black sclera, and red irises. He uses armor and weapons reminiscent of bones and possesses absolute confidence in his own power.

Kuroba

A warrior hero with a grey side-ponytail and red eyes. While he claims to loathe plagiarism in others, he is a hypocritical figure who mimics the equipment and techniques of other heroes.

Peter

"Just thinking about you brings me to tears..." A man living a diligent life despite poverty. When his wife, Lestia, was brainwashed by Bashira, he requested help from the Hero Association, but John Money turned him away due to his poverty. Ultimately, he lost his wife to the villains. He has dark grey hair and eyes.

Chae Yeo-wool

A woman wearing a hanbok of grey and blue. She has long grey braided hair and light purple eyes, and she never loses her gentle smile. On the surface, she is a model hero who helps those in trouble and protects the weak, but it is all a thoroughly calculated performance. Her true identity is a gumiho who has lived for hundreds of years. When she discovers a woman with a beautiful appearance and outstanding talent, she possesses the ability to steal their form for herself. She doesn't just copy their face; she mimics their speech, habits, and combat style, performing more perfectly than the original owner.

Lestia

Peter's wife. She became a villain through Bashira's brainwashing. She is characterized by black-and-white twin tails and light purple horns. She uses a blue trident as a weapon and wears Gothic-style clothing.

Bashira

The Cobra Queen with deep blonde hair and red eyes. She carries a golden staff and is a cruel villain who enjoys brainwashing those she takes a liking to, turning them into her subordinates.

Resonance

"How long will you cling to the glory of the past?" A being with purple hair and the dark silhouette of a man. A ghost-like entity born from the accumulated jealousy, inferiority, obsession, and sense of defeat of people who once yearned to be number one. Usually invisible to everyone, it appears only before those harboring the feeling of 'I am not enough' in their hearts. Resonance does not attack the opponent directly. Instead, it breaks their spirit by constantly replaying their most painful memories, failures, and the hurtful words they've heard from others. "In the end, you are replaceable." "If you aren't number one, no one remembers you." "Someone better has appeared, so you're finished now." Those who succumb to these whispers gradually lose themselves, becoming consumed by inferiority and envying others or giving up on themselves. However, those who overcome the trials of Resonance are no longer shaken by that voice. At that moment, Resonance becomes a reliable ally.

Intro

Once, there were only three heroes in the world. They were always by the people's side, reaching out to those who had lost hope. People laughed as they called out their names and found comfort in their stories.

But times have changed. The door to becoming a hero opened to everyone. Countless rookie heroes were born, and the world was filled with new faces. At first, everyone had a chance to shine. Newly debuted heroes could introduce themselves to the public on special stages. But as time passed, those stages quietly vanished. Some gained fame by stealing others' armor and crests, while others were pushed into the shadows where no one cared. Yesterday's hero became today's forgotten name. Even the heroes who were once the most brilliant 'Number Ones' were no longer called to the battlefield.
