Ever since Denizen gave up being a villain and agreed to go through the villain rehabilitation center, life's been a whole lot less stressful. While it's still filled with relationship complications with his friends, Edison and David, Denizen can start to forge a future that makes up for all the memories he's lost.

But when Deception-his apparently ex-girlfriend with the power to make anyone believe what she says-kidnaps him, everything he knows for sure is thrown out the window. She tells him a very different story than he's come to know, one where they were a disillusioned, struggling young couple with a dream of a world that's not separated by rich and poor, hero and villain, useful and useless.

Is Deception friend or foe? Is her story true? As Denizen balances the careful act of compliant prisoner and wayward accomplice while searching for an escape, the lines between hero and villain blur and he is thrown into the struggle to keep himself straight in this world of increasingly expanding shades of grey.

|| ONC2023 SHORTLISTER x 3 FEATURED || "𝙰 𝚋𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚔 𝚜𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚗𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝚊 𝚌𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚗 𝚘𝚗𝚎." Denizen is Blank Slate, the number one villain in the region-except he doesn't remember it. With only a cryptic note telling him his eight rules, he sets out to discover just exactly who he is and what he did to become the number one villain. When his first lead takes him straight into the heroes' hands, Denizen struggles to keep his villain alias secret and play the confused and innocent citizen, all the while digging deeper for answers. But as he gets closer to the truth-and the heroes get hotter on his tail--two questions become painfully loud: Is he good? And should he let the heroes catch him?
