Pain and loss make us better and stronger, if only we keep moving forward. This is the story of a superhero who started from a broken home, but found more. When your powers come from a notorious supervillain, does that define who you want to be? (Releases may be a bit irregular due to health issues) Superluminal (Volume 1) - The Dream Born to a broken home, Leo Walker, a fan of his world's superheroes, tragically loses his parents. If you mix in an S-ranked supervillain's superpowers into this already volatile mix, is it inevitable that Leo becomes another villain? A villainess seeks her rebirth. Will she tempt Leo to embrace the void? Adding to this tangle, Leo suspects that he's actually a girl on the inside. Thankfully, to balance things out, she has her loving Auntie Goonie and cousin Quinn to guide her, albeit her new sister isn't exactly a role model. She grows with their help to become who she was meant to become, Leona Ramses, an active and courageous young woman.  While finding herself, she discovers love with a girl named Sarah Namias, an irresistible catgirl. While she fills Leona's heart with love, Sarah's words and actions mercilessly tie Leona's brain and guts into knots! Meanwhile, far away from Earth, the entire universe is under siege by shadowy other dimensional beings bent on changing it for the worse. There are many dots to connect before this tale is over. What form will they take? This is a light novel project that I've been hoping I can get published. At this point, my only option is to self-publish. I figured I might as well see what Royal Road's readers think about it. This is a polished and expanded version of what I released on Scribblehub. Just volume one is ready to post for now. Because of the constraints of my editor's free time and lack of it and a series of rejections by a publisher, I have since started working on another project. This version has been ready to go as it currently is for about half a year, but my self-confidence has been plummeting lately. Editing by myself and AlliterativeArts. The current edition has adjustments/changes suggested by the publisher I submitted this to.
