[Log Entry #376: Dr. Hero’s Lazy Report on Heroic Science]

Begin Recording.

Yawn... Ah, is this thing on? Good… good. Alright, let’s get this over with, shall we? Not that anyone really reads these things anyway. But I suppose you’re all itching to know how my genius—heroic genius, mind you—fits into this grand little war against the UDR. So here’s your spoonful of science for the day. Buckle up, and try not to fall asleep… I know I almost did while figuring this stuff out.

So, let’s talk about the principles of heroism—Heroic Science, as I so humbly call it. I know, I know, you’re all thinking “Oh great Doctor, how do you define something so mythological and grand?” Well, that’s because you’re all amateurs. Heroism, my friends, is rooted in two fancy little concepts I came up with: Negligent Determinism and Overwhelming Escapism. Yeah, I know the names sound important. I like my science to sound important.

First up, Negligent Determinism. You ever wonder why the gods—and we all know they’re out there, meddling in their lazy way—keep choosing random nobodies from Earth to become these all-powerful heroes in other worlds? I mean, it’s not like we’ve got people training for these roles. You’d think the gods were hand-picking based on skill or moral fiber or whatever, right? Wrong. Turns out, they’re not doing anything with a grand design at all. It’s pure negligence.

That’s right. The gods don’t give a damn. They’re throwing darts at the cosmic board and hitting whatever poor sucker happens to be in the way. Some kid playing video games? Sure, why not. Some middle-aged office drone? Sounds good. Basically, it’s like they’re on autopilot, just tossing out gifts and heroic blood willy-nilly. Sometimes, they don’t even know who they’re sending—half the time, they’re probably not even paying attention. You’d think this grand interdimensional hero summoning was some thoughtful process… but nope, it's more like they’re doing it out of utter disinterest, as if they were just sending lambs to the cosmic slaughter that is fighting the spread of demonic lords across the many worlds in existence. Hence: Negligent Determinism. The gods are essentially cosmic slackers, sending whoever happens to be on hand, no real thought behind it.

Now, with that bit of existential dread out of the way, let’s move on to my next concept: Overwhelming Escapism. Now this one’s interesting. See, despite the gods’ negligence, there’s still something curious going on. You ever notice how certain people from Earth seem more... heroic than others? It’s not because they’re chosen, per se. It’s because they’re broadcasting something, consciously or not. A potential. A desire to escape the mundane, to project themselves as heroes in some grand adventure. This kind of overwhelming escapism seeps into their very being—tangible potential is what I like to call it. It’s like they’re shouting into the void: “Hey, world, I’m ready to be more than just this sad existence. Make me a hero!”

And you know what? The gods pick up on it. Even with their negligence, they get drawn to these people, weaving their threads of destiny around them like it’s some kind of cosmic magnetism. It’s why certain individuals—those with that unmeasurable, overwhelming desire for heroism—keep getting pulled into these other worlds. They’ve got the potential for heroism written into their souls, practically begging for divine intervention. They don’t even have to try—they’re just born with it.

Ah… and that, my dear listeners, is where I come in. You see, I’ve spent years researching this whole hero business. I’ve cracked the code. The gods may be lazy and careless, but their power—oh, that’s real. And I figured out how to tap into it. How to harness that heroism.

Now, here’s where it gets juicy. You ever wonder how I created my little pet project, the Hero Flux? Well, I’ll tell you. But you’re going to want to sit down for this one. I… may have borrowed something from the gods. See, when the UDR started their coordinated attacks—oh yeah, they’ve been planning this for a while—heroes started falling left and right. And that got me thinking. These heroes, they don’t really die, you know? Not permanently. They’re set up to reincarnate, to rise again in some other world. Convenient little system, right? Well… not if you, say, took something from them. Something like… their blood.

Heh heh. You heard that right. Heroes have blood, and that blood? It’s potent. Filled with all that divine energy, all that latent potential. If you know what you’re doing—and of course, I do—you can siphon it. Bottle it up. That’s how I made the Hero Flux. I’ve taken the very essence of fallen heroes and distilled it into something anyone can use. A dose of Hero Flux, and you get a piece of that heroic power, all for yourself. You don’t need to be chosen by the gods, you don’t need to be summoned by fate. You just need a vial of my creation, and bam! Instant hero potential.

What’s that? Oh, you want to know what happens to the original heroes? Well… let’s just say if I take their blood, they’re not coming back. No reincarnation. No heroic resurrection. They’re done. Poof. Gone. Forever. Some people call it sacrilege, but I call it… progress. Why waste all that potential on a cycle that never ends, when I can bottle it and distribute it to the masses? So the next time you hear someone boasting about their heroic abilities, just remember—there’s a good chance they’re running on a bit of Hero Flux. Courtesy of me.

Alright, that’s enough for today. I’ve got better things to do than sit here yammering. Make sure this gets logged properly, alright? And if anyone asks, remind them that they owe their powers to the good doctor. Now, get out of here before I fall asleep again.
