Hero Universe

Episode 1: The Birth of a Universe

The Dream Begins

Elijah Carter had always been obsessed with superheroes. Ever since he was a kid, he dreamed of creating his own superhero universe—a world filled with mighty heroes, fearsome villains, and epic battles that would inspire generations.

One evening, as he sat in his bedroom, flipping through old comic books, an idea struck him. “It’s time,” he whispered to himself. He stood up, filled with excitement, and walked out of his room with a mission: to build his own superhero universe.

Finding the Right Office

Elijah knew that a true universe needed a headquarters—a place where ideas could come to life. He pulled out his Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and started searching for office spaces nearby. After a few minutes of scrolling, he found the perfect place—a modern space downtown, big enough for a creative team, yet affordable enough for a startup.

"I need this," he said to himself.

A Moment of Reflection

As he stared at the listing, a wave of emotions hit him. "Oh my god… I wish Dad was alive." His father, who had passed away years ago, was his biggest supporter. He had always told Elijah to chase his dreams, no matter how big.

Wiping his eyes, Elijah shook his head. “I’ll do this. For him.”

The Hustle for Money

The office cost $120,000 to purchase outright or $2,500 per month for rent. Elijah didn’t have that kind of money—yet. He got to work, taking on freelance design jobs, selling collectible comics, and even launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund his vision.

Days turned into weeks, and finally, after countless sleepless nights, he had raised $50,000.

Still, it wasn’t enough.

A Mysterious Benefactor

The office owner, Mr. Leonard Kingsley, saw Elijah’s passion and determination. Instead of turning him away, he made an unexpected offer:

“I’ll give you the rest of the money—$70,000. No loans, no debt. Just promise me you’ll build something great.”

Elijah was stunned. “Why?”

Mr. Kingsley smiled. “Because I believe in dreamers.”

Building the Dream

With the money in hand, Elijah purchased the office space and immediately set out to buy supplies:

Desks, computers, and chairs for his future team

A massive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas

Comic book art to decorate the walls

A powerful PC for designing characters and stories

Standing in his brand-new office, surrounded by empty desks and endless possibilities, Elijah took a deep breath.

His universe was about to begin.

Getting the Right Equipment

Elijah knew that to bring his Titanverse to life, he needed professional tools. He went online and ordered:

A Green Screen – $200

A Blue Screen – $220

With these, he could create incredible superhero visuals, placing characters in any environment he imagined.

One evening, while scrolling through Instagram, Elijah stumbled upon an artist’s profile. The username was:
