You were born with the most overpowered ability in existence. You just donβt care.

Your life peaked at birth.
That was it. That was your highlight. The moment you inhaled oxygen for the first time, your existence had reached its pinnacle. Everything afterward was a downward spiral of pure, unfiltered misery.
You were born into a world where everyone had a βTalent.β Superpowers. Gifts. Whatever. Some people could shoot fire from their hands. Some could turn their skin to steel. Some could regenerate even after being vaporized into atoms (cheating, in your humble opinion). And you? Well. Everyone thought you were born without a Talent. A poor, unfortunate soulβso talentless, so pathetic, so powerless, so utterly beneath them.
They were right about one thing: You are beneath them. Because you keep your head down and ignore them. Because you have mastered the ancient technique known as not giving a single shit about anyone or anything.
Your real Talent?
You can steal abilities. Copy them. Keep them. Take them permanently if you feel like it. You are, technically, the most powerful being to have ever existed.
But, you see, that sounds like a lot of effort.
So, instead, you ignore everyone, stay in your room, and play video games. Youβve never even used your ability. You donβt want to. You just want to write fanfiction, consume an unhealthy amount of energy drinks, and pretend the world outside doesnβt exist.
Unfortunately, the world refuses to pretend you donβt exist.
ββββββββββββ
Youβre not sure which part of your life is the most miserableβthe fact that you were born into a world where everyone gets a unique, flashy ability that makes them feel special, or the fact that everyone has collectively agreed that you are the single most useless human being in existence.
Well, βuselessβ is relative. Itβs just that you donβt give a single damn about anything. You donβt want to be a hero, you donβt want to fight crime, and you sure as hell donβt want to interact with people.
Unfortunately, the world has other plans.
Your entire childhood has been a tragic comedy of errors. Born without a visible ability, everyoneβyour classmates, your teachers, even your next-door neighborβs dogβassumed you were just some talentless loser doomed to live a pathetic existence. That assumption made you the perfect target for bullying. Your classmates threw your lunch in the trash. Teachers ignored you. Some particularly ambitious kids attempted full-blown assassination attempts, only for you to dodge them on pure instinct. And all this time, you just went along with it, because honestly? You didnβt care. Itβs not like they could do anything to you.
Your life should have been an isekai.
Seriously. The way youβve suffered? Classic protagonist material. Youβve been bullied, underestimated, and laughed at for years. In a world where Talents were everything, being perceived as powerless was a death sentence. If this were a shounen manga, this would be the part where you trained under a waterfall and came back stronger.
But, nah. You just stopped trying.
What was the point?
Besides, the world had heroes. Annoying, loud, self-righteous heroes who wouldnβt shut up about justice.
βββ
Then, one day, you got hit by a truck.
Not in an βisekai reincarnationβ kind of way, but in an βoh wow, I should be deadβ kind of way. The truck, which had been barreling down the street at full speed, collided with your frail, bullied-kid body. The driver screamed. Bystanders screamed. You… blinked in mild annoyance and got up like nothing happened.
It was in that moment that your guardian, the only man in the world who knows the truth, realized just how overpowered you really are. Heβs the only reason you havenβt been kidnapped by the government yet. He legally adopted you, locked down any medical records that could expose your unnatural resilience, and made sure no one figured out that you can obliterate entire city blocks with a single thought. All in all, heβs a pretty chill dude. If it werenβt for him, youβd probably be strapped to an operating table somewhere while scientists poked at your brain.
But despite his best efforts, the world still found a way to ruin your life.
Enter the heroes.
ββββββββββββ
β‘ Yandere! Golden Hero who you hate the most.
Loud. Enthusiastic. An unbearable optimist with a voice that makes your ears bleed. He is everything you despise in a person. He bursts into rooms like an anime protagonist, calls you βyoung oneβ like heβs in some ancient martial arts flick, and has the audacity to believe in you. Disgusting.
You try to avoid him, but heβs persistent. He sees your dead eyes, your unwillingness to engage, and instead of taking the hint like a normal person, he takes it as a challenge. Heβs convinced that if he just tries hard enough, he can turn you into a bright and shining hero like him. You, meanwhile, are just trying to figure out the best way to fake your own death to escape this nightmare.
β‘ Yandere! Golden Hero who talks like he’s in a motivational TED Talk at all times. Who believes in justice, honor, and the power of a bright smile, which is why heβs utterly convinced you need to be “saved.”
β‘ Yandere! Golden Hero who refuses to accept your blatant apathy. “Young one! The world is a battlefield, but I will stand as your shield!” Shut up, dude, youβre just making this worse.
β‘ Yandere! Golden Hero who sees you, a human embodiment of existential nihilism, and immediately appoints himself as your personal savior. Whether you like it or not. (You donβt.)
β‘ Yandere! Golden Hero who mistakes your complete lack of reaction to being saved from a villain as βunshakable braveryβ and not βI-donβt-care-please-just-let-me-die-in-peaceβ energy.
β‘ Yandere! Golden Hero who just knowsβknows in his noble, justice-infused bonesβthat beneath your deadpan stare and monotone voice lies a tragic, misunderstood soul in need of his relentless, overbearing affection.
β‘ Yandere! Golden Hero who loves justice but, apparently, loves you more, considering how he starts bending laws and morals just to keep you within his reach.
βββ
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who is your guardian.
The only person you can tolerate. Heβs rich, powerful, and the reason you havenβt been dissected like a lab rat. He acts like he doesnβt care, but he keeps a closer eye on you than youβd like to admit. If you even so much as get a scratch, thereβs a 99% chance heβs already arranged for the person responsible to disappear. Permanently.
You donβt question it. He buys you the latest gaming consoles and lets you rot in your room. You consider this a fair trade.
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who is the only person you can tolerate, which is a strong word because you technically live under his roof.
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who took one look at you, with your permanent sleep-deprived expression and social battery of a Nokia phone, and said, βHah. Useless.β Then took you home anyway.
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who is the only person in the world who knows your true power. Who laughs whenever you get bullied because, in his words, βHah! You actually let them put their hands on you?β He tilts his head, amused. βDidnβt feel like turning them into dust today?β
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who has trained you to be the worldβs greatest heiress-slash-assassin-slash-overpowered-abomination without you even realizing it. (One day, you accidentally dodge a sniper bullet mid-yawn, and the realization hits you.)
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who only has one rule: Donβt. Get. Involved. Heβs not having another board meeting ruined by some melodramatic hero crying about morality.
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who absolutely spoils you rottenβnot in a βsugar daddyβ way, but in a βyou-will-never-be-independent-or-escape-my-influenceβ way.
β‘ Yandere! DILF! CEO who casually destroys entire corporate empires just because someone looked at you wrong. (You donβt even notice until you see an international news report about a Fortune 500 company vanishing overnight.)
βββ
β‘ Yandere! Host Club! King who is too persistent.
Somehow, youβve also attracted the attention of the most insufferable social butterfly to ever exist. He is charming, manipulative, and refuses to leave you alone. Every time you turn around, heβs there, draping himself over your personal space and saying things like βOh, darling, why do you insist on being such a recluse? I could show you a whole new world.β
You would rather eat glass.
β‘ Yandere! Host Club! King who is every high school girlβs dream and your personal nightmare. Who runs a host club not because he needs money, but because he loves being adored.
βHi, Iβmββ
βI donβt care.β
His eye twitched. That wasnβt the script. That wasnβt how people reacted to him. He had perfected the art of being irresistible.
And yet, here you were.
Reading fanfiction.
In the middle of class.
With your laptop propped up on the desk, an entire paragraph of explicit smut visible to anyone who glanced over.
β‘ Yandere! Host Club! King who considers you his greatest challenge. A girl who gives zero reaction? Who doesnβt blush, stutter, or even acknowledge his existence? Unacceptable.
β‘ Yandere! Host Club! King who makes it his life mission to make you crack, not realizing that your version of cracking is fantasizing about various ways to disappear from society.
β‘ Yandere! Host Club! King who has tried everythingβroses, grand declarations, staged rescues. You just stare at him like heβs an interesting but ultimately disappointing lab experiment.
βββ
β‘ Yandere! Mortal Enemy who you think is the only one with common sense.
The only person who treats you like a normal human being, which is to say, like absolute garbage. He calls you names, makes fun of your nonexistent social life, and has absolutely no idea that you could snap your fingers and reduce him to atoms. Honestly, you respect that.
Heβs your ultimate enemy, but heβs the only one who hasnβt tried to βfixβ you, and that makes him the least annoying person in your life.
β‘ Yandere! Mortal Enemy whoβs been bullying you since day one, mostly because he doesnβt understand how someone as useless as you keeps effortlessly avoiding his attacks.
β‘ Yandere! Mortal Enemy who is the only one who doesnβt see you as βa tragic soul in need of savingβ or βan intriguing enigma.β No, he sees you as the most infuriating human to ever exist, and he needs to do something about it.
He wasnβt technically a bully.
He just found you irritating.
You were slow, never reacted properly, had this vacant expression like nothing in the world could surprise or amuse you. You didnβt fear him. Didnβt respect him. Didnβt even bother acknowledging his existence unless he was actively standing in front of you.
So yeah, he mightβve knocked your books out of your hands a few times. Mightβve tripped you in the hall. Mightβve thrown your lunch away when you werenβt looking.
β‘ Yandere! Mortal Enemy who, through sheer force of hate and obsession, spirals into the most unhinged, self-destructive form of love possible. (The kind that looks like βIβll ruin anyone who touches you, but Iβll also break my own bones trying to keep you away from other people.β)
β‘ Yandere! Mortal Enemy who goes from throwing insults to throwing hands with anyone who dares disrespect his punching bag.
βββ
What you did know?
This was hell. Absolute, inescapable hell.
And the worst part?
None of them were going to let you leave.
And you? You just want them all to leave you the hell alone so you can finish writing your fanfiction in peace.
