The protagonist does not have a harem.
Everyone is either a friend or in a superior-subordinate relationship; they are all normal social interactions QAQ) New York, Manhattan East District, a top-tier luxury apartment where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold.
“Phew~ What a pain.
Taking on so many ads every single day!
Filming day in and day out, I’m sick of it!” Morgan Stacey lay lazily on the sofa, enjoying a moment of peace after work.
To the outside world, she was a popular idol, a “Superhero” who flew around giving criminals electrotherapy.
On the inside, she wished she could electrocute those brain-dead fans until nothing but ash remained.
Celebrity worship was truly insane!
After several “heroic performances,” Morgan was mentally exhausted.
She had to act like an idiot, pretending to be a standard “America’s Sweetheart,” and she’d been living this life for nearly a year!
Thinking of this, Morgan felt a surge of irritation.
Recalling her past life, she had been a man of iron will, a man whose “Supreme Bone” stood tall for a lifetime!
Stood tall for a lifetime!
Do you know what that concept means?!
In the end, however, the doctor told him it wouldn’t go down—it was a special disease.
His unrestrained, continuous “firing” came with a price!
Upon hearing those words, he could only say…
“Holy crap, why didn’t you say so sooner!” “I thought I was just exceptionally gifted!” As a result, because of the continuous firing, he caused his own premature death!
Becoming another bizarre tale in the world of LOL…
When she opened her eyes after reincarnating, she had arrived in a world familiar from her previous life—”The Boys.” This anti-hero universe was a gory American TV series that parodied almost every hero from DC and Marvel.
The heroes here were household names, but they didn’t selflessly save people.
Instead, they crazily slaughtered ordinary people in the shadows; all their righteousness existed only in front of the camera.
If their actions were brought to light, dying ten times over probably wouldn’t be enough to wash away their sins.
And the pharmaceutical and entertainment giant here—Vought International—would clean up after their illicit behavior, allowing the villains to run rampant.
Reincarnating into such a universe as an ordinary person would be considered quite unlucky.
The good news was that at age five, she awakened the same superpowers as the original character Starlight; she wasn’t an ordinary person.
Then there was the news that was neither good nor bad: recalling the plot, Starlight’s ability, even when trained to the limit, was mediocre among the mediocre, far behind the top-tier Superhumans.
She was better than the worst but worse than the best.
Since then, she had realized she couldn’t be a savior.
Rather than opposing Vought, upholding justice, and being hunted everywhere by Homelander, it was better to join Vought and win a lifetime of wealth.
The dream of getting rich from her previous life would be realized in this one.
After figuring it out, she used her status as an orphan to stand out at the Red River Orphanage and successfully made it into Godolkin University.
Because of her stunning beauty and the development of her abilities (she could already fly), she successfully joined Vought as the No.
3 graduate from Godokin.
That same year, because her looks were so top-tier and she had so many fans, Vought had Lamplighter retire early, and she became one of The Seven.
By now, it had been 23 years in this life.
She was no longer that young man from before~ She secretly shed tears of frustration…
…
In New York’s Times Square, Morgan’s cartoon avatar appeared on a massive screen.
Countless people gathered here to witness a change of the century!
“Starlight!
Starlight!
Her popularity is about to peak!” “Starlight is about to replace Homelander as the most popular member of The Seven!” “The change of the century!!
Can Homelander still maintain his position as the leader of The Seven?” That’s right, Morgan, who was in the same class as The Deep, had stolen the hero name that belonged to Annie in the original show.
Furthermore, she took the damnably sweet and cute route, instantly striking the invisible hearts of everyone.
Her peerless looks, combined with Vought’s marketing, made “Starlight” a hit with both men and women, her momentum unmatched.
To the point where the name “Starlight” was about to surpass Homelander, making her the red-hot “America’s Number One Sweetheart.” Honestly, by now, Morgan regretted it a little; she had severely underestimated her own charm.
This damn popularity rose too quickly, causing Homelander’s attitude toward her to become increasingly hostile lately.
In just one short year, he went from being as caring as “family” to not even acting anymore, starting to use verbal pressure.
She could feel that Homelander, who valued popularity more than his life, was about to lose his patience.
It was only because of pressure from Vought’s higher-ups and her own humble attitude.
Homelander might have already acted in the shadows to eliminate anyone who dared to snatch “love” and the spotlight from him.
Thinking of the twisted face of that giant baby in the show, Morgan became increasingly agitated.
She had now developed her abilities to their limit, yet she was still fundamentally no match for Homelander.
She had mistakenly thought it was just because the original character was too naive and sweet, and that things wouldn’t be so bad if she were in charge.
As it turned out, she had really overthought it.
The gap in superpower tiers was not something she could bridge through hard work.
Through years of diligent training, she could already throw a small car to the third floor, bench press 6 tons, and with the help of electricity, fly at subsonic speeds.
But she was always unable to take a step further.
She had truly felt her own insurmountable bottleneck.
A breakthrough could only rely on…
System, are you there?!
Save me!
I’m being targeted by Homelander!
This was the nth time she had called out, and what she received in return was still silence.
Facing an attack that Homelander could launch at any moment, perhaps…
Running away was her only option.
System!
If you don’t come out now, I’m really running!
“Ding~ Popularity has reached No.
1 in this world.
Status panel enabled!” Name: [Morgan Stacey] Stage: [Block-level Hero] Physique: 15 (Ignores conventional firearms) Strength: 12 (One arm swing is three tons) Speed: 18 (Subsonic flight) Energy: 18 (One blast is equivalent to an RPG) Free Points: 2 (Gains 1 point per 100 million fans per month.
This month’s points have been settled.) Abilities: Superhuman Lv.
2, Electrical Transmission and Reception Lv.
3 Current Fans: 211 million [Reach 80 points overall to become a City-level Hero and unlock the next feature!] A panel accompanied by a voice appeared in Morgan’s mind.
“This, this is!” Joy instantly occupied Morgan’s brain.
I knew it!
I knew it!
“How could a transmigrator not have a system!” “No powerhouse exists without using cheats!” Panel!
Let me see your strength!
Deep Blue!
Add points!
As her only points were invested into Speed, an invisible light came from the void, gathering around Morgan in one breath and surging into every part of her body.
At this moment, Morgan felt as if the laws of the universe had changed for her; the coefficient of friction had decreased for her, or perhaps her ability tier had become stronger.
In short, she was faster!
Smoother, and even her neural reflexes had quickened!
Taking out her phone was faster!
In her understanding, compared to being a bit tankier or having higher damage, She was more willing to believe that taking out her phone faster would better allow her to survive at Homelander’s hands.
After all, the first two stats were too far behind Homelander’s; if they fought, even adding points there would be useless.
Conversely, suddenly whipping out her phone and opening a livestream would instantly turn Homelander into a “good boy.” And with the added speed…
Morgan did an inward-knee squat, preparing for takeoff.
The bottleneck that has trapped me for so long…
Whoosh!
Morgan leaped up, and the power in the villa district instantly became erratic.
(She can fly without power, but needs to charge in advance; Starlight is a knock-off version of Electro.) Boom!
A sonic boom rang out in Manhattan.
Supersonic!
She had indeed reached Mach 1; the sound barrier that had always restricted her was no longer an obstacle.
Once speed reaches Mach 1, the boost to a Superhuman’s strength is like night and day.
Super hearing will be unable to capture the position, which can greatly increase the chance of escape.
At the same time, it allows for a surprise first strike.
This is a huge, huge, huge, massive improvement!
Is this, is this what it feels like to be a cheater?
The limit that couldn’t be broken despite thousands of training sessions before now seemed non-existent.
As expected, cheating once is great, but cheating forever is even better!
With the help of the panel, in time, why should she worry about not being able to beat Homelander…
