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

Lord Evlon's hand caressed my cheek, tilting my head until the silver collar caught the purple-tinted light of the crystal enchantment. It was polished like a mirror, revealing my blood-smeared face as a mask of terror. The intricate seventh-level enchantments lacing the silver radiated a faint sense of pressure, adding to the suffocating aura the eighth-level inquisitor's soul emitted.

I shuddered, unable to take my eyes off the Soul Binder. "P-please, no…"

He clicked his tongue. "Disappointing. You've led me on a chase across half the world, but to hear you beg like that…it's just pathetic. How could one so weak cause so much trouble?"

"You can't make me," I said, finally tearing my eyes away and meeting his gaze. "I'll never willingly accept the Soul Binder!"
