Synopsis:
Society is rarely built with equality in mind.
After the first recorded instance of an awakening the 1st of April 1925, and the subsequent attacks of monsters, the world began adapting itself to try and conform to this new status quo.
Saint, rank, lair, liberator... A whole new lexicon was created.
A century later the world has managed to stabilize itself. However, inequalities became even more rampant. Average civilians and mediocre Saints were left in the dust with no way to make their voices heard.
And retired C-rank Fighter, Benjamin Hosmer, laughed.
He was fifty-four, limping, and far past his prime but this reality pleased him. Finally, a good opportunity to get some fame and power back without kneeling to those dogs of the government.
Time to make some goddamn money!
Once he and his crew got out of the traffic...
...
They still lived in Houston after all.
