The Scumbag's Guide To Heroism

Lukas Belmont, a transmigrant possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of webnovels, finds himself in a familiar trope: inhabiting another's body. However, his new reality as the orphaned ward of a super-powered family, coupled with a "Scumbag System" that demands he achieve intimacy to level up, presents a unique challenge. As the Unmarked son of deceased legends, Lukas faces a dire situation three months before the Halloran Academy entrance exam. His meager stats and charity case social standing leave him reliant on the manipulative Scumbag System. This passive-aggressive interface grants reality-bending powers through a gacha mechanic, funded solely by increasing the "Temptation Gauges" of the women around him. His initial quest requires him to assault his pseudo-sister, Sloane Fitzgerald, a fiery hero who views him as both brother and pervert. Failure carries a severe penalty: permanent reduction of his manhood by fifty percent. In a world where heroes are celebrities, Lukas must navigate elite politics, conceal his undetectable power system, and survive an academy that preys on the Unmarked. Armed with meta-knowledge, survival instincts, and a blackmailing system, Lukas confronts the improbable ascent from insect to god.
