Immortality is on the line. So are his foes! Choo-choo, heroes.

Dylan is an average nerdy worker. By day, he works for an architecture firm. When his shift ends, he consumes all manner of superhero fiction; comics, books, or games. When an up-and-coming gaming company, Vert, announces a new superhero game- a game that promises infinite choice- Dylan is immediately ready to dive in. He has the perfect role in mind for himself: the egotistical supervillain from cartoons.

Vert is more ambitious than anyone knew. As launch day for their new MMO World of Supers looms, they announce that if players do something really over-the-top, they can become a permanent raid boss inside the game. Now Dylan’s antics will be pitted against streamers bent on immortalizing themselves in the gaming world.

When everyone else takes the game seriously, it’s only the casuals who have fun.
