	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

The room stirred as Rasce's loud warning shook everyone from their sleep. The two adventuring parties struggled to their feet, groaning with morning aches and rubbing exhaustion from their bleary eyes.

Sorrin yawned, standing and stretching, his hand falling to his sword. "Whose coming?"

"The Guild Leader," Rasce replied grimly.

"Good. I've got a few questions to ask him," Sorrin muttered. "He's got a lot to account for."

"Wait," I called. I jumped to my feet, perhaps standing too quickly, as a rush of dizziness overtook me. Fable pressed against my side, stabilizing me, and I rubbed a horn, closing my eyes until the world stopped moving.

"Starlight?" Tana asked with concern.

"It's nothing," I muttered, steadying myself with a breath. "Just be careful with Helron. His soul looked the same as theirs."

They followed my gesture to the Dawn Blades, who were busy running their hands over their healed bodies, eyes full of wonder.
