	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

"Sorra, they're just stalling. Let's just kill the knight and take the girl," one of the armored adventurers said.

Another, this one a seventh-level mage, nodded. "The Justice Hero is taking too long with that demon. It's only sixth level, but highly skilled and able might exploit our hero's inexperience. We should clean things up here and support him before any reinforcements arrive."

The second was an older man, seeming out of place among the younger adventurers. I had no memory of seeing him before, and from the way he spoke about the hero, he clearly had no personal attachment to him. He was the only one strong enough to have cast that seventh-level Judgment spell and probably wasn't a permanent member of their party. Had they taken him from the front lines of the army to ensure the success of the mission?

"Luxxa," I said nervously, "Where are the others?"
