Hero of the Reverse World

In a world where monsters circle the cities and women outnumber men fifty to one, James Kim should have died the moment he woke up outside the walls.
Instead, the monsters failed—and Aegis City gained a miracle.
Dragged in from the wilderness half-dead, James discovers a world turned upside down: rune-lit walls holding back bio-engineered horrors, rival “hero” and “villain” brands fighting under strict rules, and an entire legal system built around protecting and managing rare men like him. He’s offered luxury housing, a generous stipend, and a carefully scripted life as a treasured, sheltered citizen.
James says no.
When his latent power Awakens, the city’s interest explodes. James can see the math of reality—vectors, force, probability—and nudge it. A step that crosses impossible distance. A single move that shatters a monster formation. A glowing lattice of equations that holds a failing wall together while thousands scream below.
To heroes, he’s a symbol of hope.
To villain syndicates, he’s the ultimate brand opportunity.
To one ruthless PR queen, he’s the missing half of a power couple and the prize in a very public relationship contract.
James just wants three things: his freedom, a chance to actually help people, and the space to enjoy the dizzying attention of a world where every second woman wants his time, his smile… maybe more.
But beyond the giant walls, something is wrong. Monsters attack at suspiciously convenient moments. A deadly expedition reveals devices that lure the creatures instead of repelling them. And the deeper James looks, the more it seems that someone prefers humanity scared and penned inside their mega-cities.
In a city of brands and factions, James chooses the impossible path: an unbranded, independent hero who won’t be owned—by the government, by a syndicate, or even by the most dangerous woman in Aegis.
He’s the rarest man alive.
He can rewrite the math of the battlefield.
And he’s just starting to question who really built these walls… and why.
Perfect for readers who enjoy superpowered worlds, reverse-ratio societies, flirty tension with fade-to-black romance, and a clever MC who wins with brains as much as raw power.
