X//STRAND

What if you could have powers completely unique to yourself? 

In a world where only 0.04% of the population carries a mutated strand of DNA known as an X-Strand, power isn’t something you learn. Personality, trauma, desire, genome, fear, resolve, instinct—everything that makes you you is compressed into a power manifested from identity.

What appears is not what someone wants, but what they are. Two people can desire the same outcome and develop entirely different powers.

Leo, just a bored kid—good at almost everything he tried, yet invested in none of it beyond games and competition—had everything and everyone he loved burned away in an unnatural fire. leaving behind something far more dangerous than grief—vengeance.

What began as a search for answers quickly turns into something deeper. The more Leo digs, the more he realizes not everyone wearing the title of hero deserves it. The world of X-Strands isn’t built on heroes and villains, but on people shaped by what they’ve lived through. 

And every answer only leads to more questions.

Whether he’s part of the 0.04% or not stops mattering.

Because the real question isn’t what’s in his DNA—

It’s what will his actions and choices turn him into.
