Alternate: Curse of the Talentless

"Through ash and smoke, some say that a hero will arise...but a hero is just a fantasy...a joke." These words were thought of by a child who had watched his parents die, live, and then die again countless times in his dreams. This child was a boy born with little-to-no talent in magic, although that was what his family was known for. Bullied and beaten every day by the local Nobles, the child only had his parents to turn to and, once they were gone, he soon found his life spiraling out of control. Now determined more than ever, he steels his will in order to move forward and take revenge on those who massacred his entire household and left him to rot in this hell of a life. He was determined to kill the Gods themselves if need be.
