I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly.
But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods?
Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight.
Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living?
I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

Please, I beg you to read this book. This is by far one of the best tragedies I've ever read. The internal struggles that the main character goes through are so well done. From trust, betrayal, and trauma, all are descriptive and very much well written. So much so that it makes me slightly concerned for the author's well-being and whether or not they are writing some parts from experience. After all that she's gone through, you follow along her road to recovery. Experiences in which others help to get over her trauma and help her trust and smile again. Of course, with all tragedies, relapses are bound to happen, but she learns to become stronger and overcome it. The world building is phenomenal. Her experiences and purity tie in to what she views of the world and how the world is shaped by the main character's perspective. From the gods' and demons' plans, she is caught in the middle of it all, trying to do what she believes is right, all while struggling with her emotions and trauma and focusing on her road to recovery. One of my favorite traits about this book is how skill progression works. It is unlike any system from common books with that function. The 'levels' come from , not by numbers, but personal experience with training and battle. While she is extremely weak from the beginning due to a handicap, most of her power comes from her ingenuity. There are minimal mistakes in grammar. I'm not even sure if I've found a single one yet. The author puts a tremendous amount of effort into writing this book. While this book is a perfect gem, I will warn you that it is very, very dark. It is not for the faint of heart and covers many sensitive topics, and it will continue for an extended period of time. Again, I beg you, please read this book. I haven't read a book I thoroughly enjoyed much like this, even contending books published by HarperCollins.
I love this novel. The Author did a great job when it comes to story telling. Keep up the good work Author.
The Forsaken Hero's narrative balances intrigue, cosmic conflict, and supernatural elements, promising an engaging fantasy adventure. The concept of chosen heroes, enigmatic blessings, and non-interference policies is intriguing.
DEFINITELY should be Read why? It is a very wonderful and bingeful work . This is a fantasy magical based world where the magic isn't bound by laws but is very tangible and every minor detail affects it and overall the world building has been done perfectly . The character development strength wise is not fast paced because of heavy constraints put on her but that still doesn't stops her from becoming strong through the difficultly . as for her personality think of it like a shard that is trying to heal so it takes time . SOME MAY FIND THIS DARK AS SUGGESTED IN THE TITLES but not so dark i think .
The author has taken a typical isekai story and put an interesting twist on it. The characters are well thought out, story progression feels smooth, and the payoff is worthwhile. I've enjoyed reading this story very much.
Definitely one of my favorite books now.
I've seen a lot of short stories, manga and anime... But I have not yet seen the unfair and difficult fate of the main character so much... Unless, perhaps, in the novel "Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu", although it pales in comparison with this work... I've never been a very sensitive person... But even this novel eventually broke me to such an extent that I could no longer continue reading, because together with the main character I reached the very bottom of hopelessness (hopelessness of the "god" level), and was no longer able to cope with it... I read the chapters that followed after this point with all my might, on my last breath, in the hope that the main character would still escape from this hell and be able to take revenge on someone... To be honest, I am not a fan of such hopelessness. But I cannot deny that the author has created a masterpiece. The elaboration of the plot and characters is also on top. This novel reminded me a little of the atmosphere of old printed works from the category of fantasy and fiction written before 1990.
its captivating first time in a while that a novel brought out emotions in me
I personally found this to be a really good book
very goog story and very good character .
I will start reading the novel because of the story and I hope there is normal romance not yuri.
The story is interesting. It keeps you captive and author can do better in writing. Fantasy story are really good choice while choosing a book.
Pretty good read! It's very dark and tragic, but seems like it'll get better over the course of the story. The main character has a lot of room for growth in both power and character!
