What to expect
And so, in an attempt to save the poor bastard from the consequences of his foolish actions, Arthur tries to convince him to surrender. But when the caped cavalry arrives, something happens and Arthur is exposed to a leak of the mysterious chemical substance.
Unfortunately, superpowers do not pay the rent, and he still has to juggle four jobs to make ends meet. And Arthur will be reversed to his former self if he doesn't prove himself worthy of the gift.
To do that, he will have to take part in the famed Combine—aka the Meatgrinder. He will have to join the trials to be accepted in one of the most famous superhero guilds in Eon City: Heroes United. Failure means he'll get dechemed and reverted back to his lousy and broke self.
If he is to have any kind of chance to prevail, Arthur must level up his skills and gain new abilities. But what is a rookie meta like him to do?
