Appearance
Lin Jie is shown to have spiky black hair that reaches past his shoulders. His hair is often tied up into a ponytail. He has a lean, muscular body that has been heavily scarred from his years of battle.

Personality
Lin Jie is a lazy, perverted young man who is content with leading a normal life. As a teenager, he became Zero due to his chuunibyou phase i.e. he was fascinated with heroes and chose to live his fantasy. His interests are watching anime (especially Magic Girls), reading manga, eating snacks, and playing video games.

Lin Jie is mostly indifferent to fame, status, or hero business. However he doesn't like villains taking over the world or terrorising innocents, and will stop them. He is afraid of his younger sister and joined the Hero Association due to her nagging. Nevertheless he cares for her since she is his only family after they were orphaned.

He is also shown to have a soft spot for children, as he adopted Mumu as his other sister and does his best to teach his students at the hero academy. Many women are attracted to Lin Jie due to his overwhelming power, making him a frequent victim of their jealousy tantrums.

As Zero, he is an impressive figure, revered by the vast majority of the public. His rare presence strikes awe and terror among heroes and villains. Some higher ups of the Hero Association view Zero as a threat for not affiliating with them, although the decision to classify him as a criminal was opposed.

Plot
Very little is known about Lin Jie's past. His parents were exiled from the Lin Clan and they passed away when Lin Jie was a young teenager. Lin Jie became a Chuunibyou and went around collecting artifacts. One of them was the Black Warrior's records, which made Lin Jie extremely powerful, and he worked as Zero. Zero saved humanity from monsters and his existence inspired the creation of hero association. Five years prior to the story, Zero retired to look after his sister Lin Wan.

The story starts with Lin Jie looking for a job after being nagged by Lin Wan. An E rank hero, Xiao Zhan discovers Lin Jie and recruits him after Lin Wan's permission.

Equipment
Through his years as a hero Lin Jie has amassed countless powerful weapons and artifacts. He had so many that he had previously sold off these powerful pieces of equipment incredibly cheap prices.
