	I closed my eyes with a sigh and let the needle slip through limp fingers. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. They could always find someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace.
	Only...I don’t remember 'nothingness' having so many gods.  
	As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death.

I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to  find the light.

My eyelids fluttered, and I became aware of the furrow etched in my brow. "Just a bit distracted. Was there something specific you wanted to discuss?"

I had just arrived at the mage training grounds when Selena approached me and pulled me along through the gardens. The grounds were crowded with sightseers and pilgrims, but Selena claimed to know of a location hidden behind the kitchens, a secret garden, of sorts.
