Synopsis

A 35-year-old Taiwanese gamer is transported to an alternate America after surviving a plane crash. Stripped of all memory of his real name, he is reborn as a younger version of himself—five years younger physically and officially ten years younger per his new documents. Adopting the identity "Nemo Captain," a political asylum immigrant, he begins working as a chef in a local Chinese restaurant.  This parallel world recently experienced a mysterious meteor shower, which disrupted global dynamics and led to the emergence of superhumans and monsters. Nemo’s predecessor has a secretive and complicated past. Suffering from amnesia due to head trauma. The world's richest man takes an interest in him, offering to help recover his memories. After accidentally awakening his latent superpowers, Nemo faces an internal battle to resist the life of a superhero—mainly to avoid donning the cringe-inducing, overly tight costume expected of the role! About the Author The author, a Taiwanese writer, focuses on fantasy, supernatural themes, and other imaginative genres that defy easy classification. This work was originally written in Traditional Chinese and translated into English using AI, with minor manual edits (apologies for my limited abilities). The fiction remains purely original, created in my native language. If you’d like to read the original work, search for the Chinese title 尾刀俠 (Kill Steal Man) by 林賾流 (ZeLiu), or visit the serialized novel column here:https://home.gamer.com.tw/profile/index_creation.php?owner=laterne What to Expect: *The everyday life and rise of a superhero. *The practical inconveniences of being a superhuman. *A variety of monsters and kaiju encounters. *A touch of geopolitics and jokes about the United States (friendly teasing from an ignorant Taiwanese author). *English swearing (yes, we use them) + Taiwanese swearing (uttered as naturally as breathing by both genders, but it will not be used extensively in the story.) The author mostly uses English swear words since they sound "a bit more polite," even though the meaning is basically the same. *Promoting Taiwanese cuisine + Quirky Taiwanese habits. *Urban fantasy + Soft sci-fi elements. *Deep, gender-neutral friendships. *A hint of bromance but no romance (friendship takes over everything). *MC navigating gray moral zones, focusing on teamwork—even working with villains. *The nuanced mindset of a transmigrator and the MC's slowly revealed past. *A period of daily updates, until the author runs out of steam. *Some of the stuff you’re thinking about might show up in the story, yet the things you can't imagine now are definitely in there. The content I casually responded with in the Marketing section seems better than the original introduction, so I'll put it up for now. Author’s Note I’ve always said that Kill Steal Man is a story I created as a way to help myself. But what can it offer to readers? Well, I hope that when someone feels down or needs to escape, they can find a quiet corner, grab their phone, and dive into this story. You don’t have to force yourself to feel happy or moved, and you don’t even need to escape the tough, reality of life. Just take a break from your worries, and lose yourself in the chaos of this alternate world. And who knows? You might even find some joy in the interactions between the characters.
