	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 harsh challenge in the guards' voices was like a splash of cold water, splitting apart the eerie silence of the tunnel. I paused just without the threshold of the small circle of light cast by the light crystals, leaving myself cloaked in shadows with only the star atop my staff glimmering faintly.

"Who are you?" the guard on the left tried again.

"Fable," I whispered, averting my eyes.

The guards were only second level, left completely unable to react as my wolf launched forward. Blood splashed into the air, followed by a scream, as the one on the left went down. His cries turned to wet gurgles as he clutched at his neck, desperately trying to close the gaping hole and stem the flow of blood.

"W-what the hell?" the other guard cried, fear flashing in his eyes.
