The Misplaced Hero

The Misplaced Hero
A tale of survival, resilience, and unexpected power.
Ethan Turner is a 16-year-old introvert who finds solace in coding and video games, escaping the harsh realities of his overlooked life. But when a blinding flash of light transports him and his classmates to a fantastical kingdom, Ethan's world is turned upside down. Summoned as a hero to save the realm, he is devastated to learn his power is anything but heroic: Basic Constructor, a skill so mundane it's deemed useless.
Rejected by the king and discarded into a nightmarish wasteland, Ethan must fight to survive in a world of endless trash, decay, and despair. With nothing but his wits and determination, he scavenges for scraps, learns basic magic, and discovers mysterious purple stones with untapped potential. Over years of struggle, Ethan transforms the wasteland into his workshop, creating machines and weapons that defy the limits of his so-called "basic" power.
But when he finally builds a way out, Ethan finds himself in an even darker world—one ravaged by fire, ash, and monstrous creatures. Armed with his ingenuity and an energy gun powered by the enigmatic stones, Ethan vows to survive, destroy the forces that wronged him, and prove that even a "misplaced hero" can change the fate of worlds.
