	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.

The Forsaken Hero

I stared at Alex's hand for a moment before moving my gaze up to his smiling face. "I'm really okay, Alex. Why don't we just go with them?"

"Please, no need to be modest. I can tell you're exhausted. When we first made camp, I was told you weren't given a tent, so I tried to find you, but no one seemed to have noticed you. It must have been hard, being surrounded by such common men. They didn't try anything with you, did they?"

"Of course not!" I snapped. I bit my lip as he raised an eyebrow, regretting the uncharacteristic outburst. "I mean, they were nothing if not polite and respectful. When the Infernal Monsters attacked, they threw themselves in harm's way to protect me. I don't know if I'd even be alive if it weren't for them."

"I see," he said slowly. "Then what about that Explosive Cascade? I was on the other side of the camp battling the leaders of the attack when I saw it being cast, otherwise, I would have been there to protect you."
