Synopsis

edit

The story revolves around a boy named Joy, who is disliked by most of his peers, including his younger brother Avi, for his innocent child persona. Due to his innocence and indomitable will, the goddess is impressed and gives him a magical ring through which he can transform himself into a superhero named "HERO". From this point on, Joy regularly saves the world from powerful supervillains like Virat and Samrat.
