Ashtik: The Champion of Black [Progression][Slow decay]

(Find the full book on already on RoyalRoad!)

The gods make mistakes, and she is the greatest of them all. Can this accidentally chosen one save the world from herself?



Ashtik Sai-Weleg is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She's nothing but a simple huntress with some mild social anxiety. That is all she has ever been, and that is all she ever wanted to be.

Then an old and long-since forgotten god decided to put into action, his ancient and foretold prophecy. If all goes to plan, his holy Champion would have been there to save the world.



Only... it did not go to plan. Instead of the chosen one, his divine mark has been violently attached to Ashtik, and now the whole world stands on the edge.



Can she unite the world? Can she forge an alliance to battle the apocalypse? Can she remain on the side of good when all evil actions seem to save so many more lives?



Probably not, but it might be fun to see how she gets along.



The world either thinks her a chosen one or a wicked lying heretic, only she knows that the truth isn't nearly that simple.



A rise to the top tale, featuring themes of imposter syndrome, addiction and (found)family bonds.



Warning; Ashtik isn't a superhero. Punches hurt like hell, and she gets her ass kicked a fair amount. This isn't a power fantasy, its a tragedy.
