Can I Be a Hero

Alex Smith was an ordinary teenager—quiet, humble, and unnoticed. But his life shattered the night of the Western Chemicals explosion. Everyone thought he was a victim, yet he walked out of the wreckage alive. No scars. No burns. Just… different. At first, Alex couldn’t explain the changes—how his eyes could pierce through lies, how his presence could send fear down his enemies’ spines, how danger always seemed to awaken something powerful within him. He tried to stay normal, to hide the truth from his father, William, and live like any other student at SilverGate College. But fate had other plans. Between the warmth of Dorathy, the beautiful heiress who sees more in him than he sees in himself, and the shadows of men who would rather see him dead than alive, Alex’s world quickly spirals into a battlefield of secrets. For Alex carries something extraordinary within him and is destined to grow into something far greater. From the quiet streets of Sun View to the glittering towers of New York, Alex’s journey will test his courage, his heart, and the limits of the power he never asked for. Because Alex Smith is no longer just a boy—he’s becoming a force. And the world is not ready. To know more, listen to 'Can I Be a Hero?' only on Pocket FM!
