Hero of Three Super Villains

365 days to turn a killer into a hero. The clock is ticking.

Dr. Dante Krueger thought he understood criminal psychology—until he met Zara “Permafrost” Novak. The ice-powered terrorist who flash-froze twenty-three innocent people waits in her cell like a beautiful, deadly glacier, radiating a cold that goes far beyond her superpowers.

The Salvation Matrix is watching. Every word. Every choice. Every drop in temperature when she’s angry.

SUBJECT: Zara "Permafrost" Novak
TRUST LEVEL: 8/100 (Extreme Distrust)
MORAL ALIGNMENT: -78/100 (Villain Territory)
DAYS REMAINING: 365
STATUS: Rehabilitation or Execution

Failure isn’t just a professional embarrassment. It’s a death sentence.

Through the experimental Phoenix Initiative, condemned supervillains get one final chance: prove they can become heroes in a year, or face Terminal Protocol—no appeals, no extensions, no mercy.

Dante volunteered for this impossible mission, believing even monsters can choose redemption. But Zara’s case will test everything he knows about therapy, justice, and the line between explanation and excuse. Her rampage was horrific—but after a corporate-sponsored hero killed her family as “acceptable losses,” is it entirely unjustified?

As ice creeps across therapy-room walls, two broken people begin a dangerous dance of healing, monitored by LitRPG-inspired psychological stats and real-time character development mechanics.

But enemies circle: Senator Hartwell wants the program destroyed, the media is hungry for a public execution, and Zara’s old crew will do anything to pull her back into darkness.

Every breakthrough comes at a price. Every moment of vulnerability risks a deadly relapse. Every day brings them closer to a choice that will define them both.

When victim families demand justice, congressional hearings threaten the program’s existence, and Zara must decide between the safety of revenge and the terrifying hope of forgiveness, the Salvation Matrix will record it all with GameLit-style precision.

Trust levels. Moral alignment. Violence control. The numbers don’t lie—but they never tell the whole story.

Can a man who still believes in second chances help a woman who’s forgotten she deserves one? Can someone who’s caused so much pain ever learn to create beauty instead? And what happens when saving her means risking everything he believes in?
