I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly.

But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods?

Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight.

Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living?

I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

The Forsaken Hero

Fable emerged from the woods bearing a small, glistening bundle of ice-blue feathers held gently in his jaws. My staff clattered to the ground as I rushed forward, scooping the fragile form into my arms.

The demon's feathers were cracked and splintered, like a spiderweb etched across a shattered mirror. His left wing was mangled and twisted, having borne the brunt of the mana cannon's attack, and he shivered as I brushed a gaping hole in his other wing. The wound's edges were raw and jagged, laced with mana that matched the ranger twitching on the ground at our feet.

"I'm sorry," I whispered, hugging the demon tightly. "I'm so sorry. If only… if only I had been stronger…"
