Readers can expect: slice of life, darkness, slice of life, comedy, slice of life, action, character focus, and tons of world building on multiple worlds. I like danger and also alien beverage etiquette.

This story is about: a teenager named Alden growing up and finding his place in a universe with Systems, superheroes, and alien wizardsSuper Supportive will be very, very long. The burn will be slow, and, I hope, better for it.

Everyone wants superpowers, including Alden Thorn.

But even if he's lucky enough to be one of the few humans granted magical abilities by the extraterrestrial System that's been running things on Earth for decades, his goal of being a battlefield support hero is still a long way off.

He's got determination on his side and maybe a murderous alien desk clerk, too.

The universe is a complicated place. Alden's about to meet it.

I started writing this because I wanted to read a character-oriented superhero origin story every step of the way from the very beginning. And I also wanted to write as thoughtfully as I could about a System and aliens. It's grown from my initial vision, and it continues to grow. But the core remains the same.

If you decide to come along for the ride, thank you! I'm having a lot of fun here. I hope you will, too.

** This story has stats, but they don't appear in the early chapters.

**Violence and darkness are present.

Updates: Usually on Sundays and Wednesdays (Pacific Time Zone). I'm currently taking a couple of posting days off/month to give me more writing time per chapter and maintain quality.
