In the year 2035, the world is ordinary—until it isn’t.
Kael is a nineteen-year-old who has learned to survive long before he ever learned how to dream. Living with his sick mother and trapped beneath the weight of poverty, his life is defined by sacrifice, responsibility, and quiet endurance. He is not special, not chosen, not powerful—just a boy doing what is necessary to keep going.
That fragile normalcy shatters when a mysterious event grants superhuman abilities to people across the world, dragging humanity into an era of chaos, fear, and moral uncertainty. As heroes rise and villains emerge, Kael is forced into a reality where power is no longer rare—and choice becomes everything.
At the center of this upheaval stands Zerathos, a centuries-old figure burdened with foresight and conviction, determined to reshape the world according to a future only he can see. As his actions spiral toward genocide and global collapse, Kael and those drawn into his orbit must confront a question far more terrifying than any enemy: what does it truly mean to save the world?
The Paragon is a grounded, PG-15 superhero epic about responsibility, morality, and the cost of doing what is right when no one is watching. It is a story where power does not define heroism—choice does.
