Hero Academy
The academy takes one in a thousand, and somehow you got in. Rankings update every week, the bottom doesn't stick around, and your power looks ridiculous—until it's needed.
World is ready — start right away. Each move costs $0.01, first ten free.
What is this world
Shinto Academy is an elite educational institution in Japan of 2087, where teenagers with gifts are forged into heroes. Here, power decides everything: the weak are expelled without the right to return, and the top students rule with an iron fist. The hierarchy is rigid, the trials are deadly, and each new semester claims several lives.
At stake: In a minute, a public survival test in the simulator will begin, where every move you make is seen by all students and faculty, and failure means immediate expulsion.
Who awaits you here
Everyone has their own interest in you. Their attitude shifts based on your actions, and you can see it on a scale right in the game.
Cold, calculating, speaks briefly and rarely, never smiles, values only strength and discipline.
Wants from you: To test your durability—he considers you a weak link and wants to knock you out of the academy on the first trial.
Calm, attentive, speaks softly but with metallic undertones, always keeps distance but doesn't show hostility.
Wants from you: Wants to understand how flexible you are, to decide whether to invest resources in you—or if you're just expendable material for statistics.
Silent, gloomy, often looks away, speaks only if the question concerns data, a constant shadow of fatigue on his face.
Wants from you: He noticed an anomaly in your selection results and wants to find out what the system is hiding—maybe you're not a miracle, but a setup.
Where it all begins
The cold metal floor of the arena, walls of tempered glass, behind which hundreds of eyes—students, faculty, academy staff. The bright light of spotlights picks you out of the darkness like the only target on the range. You stand at the starting mark, your lungs squeezed by unfamiliar air mixed with ozone and antiseptic. The simulation will begin any minute.
Akira Hasegawa — He stands on a raised platform, arms crossed. His gaze is icy, calm, as if deciding whether it's worth wasting time on you. Tanaka. You have exactly five seconds to say what you can do with this gift that supposedly manifested 'at the last second.' Or get lost and make room for those who earned it with blood and sweat.
This is one possible opening. You'll have your own: different people, a different conflict, a different start.
Where it may lead
- Win the selection and find out who you screwed over
- Uncover why you were even admitted to the academy
- Team up with your ranking rival
- Hide your true strength and live with a weak reputation
- Find out who's leaking class assignments to outsiders
- Quit the hero career when you learn the price

FAQ:
No, the world is original: its own heroes, powers, and ranking. No canon knowledge needed.
Yes, just describe what you do—the world accepts it as fact and builds the scene around it.
Yes, if you choose them. But what matters more is who you've made deals with before the fight.
Each Time, a Different Story:
The world is rebuilt for each player: different people, a different conflict, a different opening.
The disciplinary committee audit looms within the hour, and now Shiori and Renji are openly pressing you about the bracelet—Natsumi's whispered knowledge could expose everything if you don't act fast.
Kaede has just confronted you with a mocking challenge about your upcoming duel and your father's role as judge—she's testing your nerve, and the air is charged with unspoken rivalry.
The Trial of the Fallen begins in minutes, and Shizuka Amami has just openly questioned your competence — the first-ranked students are watching to see if the last-ranked will crumble or surprise them.
How it works
No pre-written answer options. Speak, act, ask — the world accepts what you state as fact and adapts. Actions can be marked with asterisks.
Each character has a scale from −100 to 100. It shifts based on deeds, not polite words, and is visible directly in the game. The world keeps a list of facts that cannot be forgotten: promises, debts, secrets, enemies.
Characters act without your command: they demand, lie, leave, and return. From time to time, a twist occurs that changes the situation. The story is saved — you can return a week later and continue from the same point.
How is this different from character chat:
In the chat, you're talking to a single character, and everything hinges on the conversation. Here, it's a whole world: multiple characters with their own interests in each other, a setting, time of day, and events that happen independently of you. You're not a conversation partner, but a participant in the story.
