Garden of the Abyss

Transported into another world, professional shut-in, Ren Nakamura, expects a path of ludicrous powers, fame, and glory; the classic tale of an otherworld hero saving a doomed world from the conquest of a tyrannical, almighty demon king. --What he receives instead, is a harsh reality check. Betrayed, beaten, and humiliated, he quickly learns the true nature of this world: it doesn’t cater to him in the slightest. Inept, gullible, and unsociable, he must cultivate himself into a proper person, if he hopes to survive in the ravenous world of Gaia. In a twisted, yet fantastical world of magic, knights, and dragons that persecutes otherworlders, Ren must overcome his “level zero” start and cultivate himself into someone capable of fighting off the obstacles of Gaia. The otherworlder-hunting Argonauts, the world-loathing cultists, and even the very aspects of sin themselves; these are just the tip of the iceberg on the troubles that await him on his journey. But it’s a harsh, cruel world filled with misery and darkness; he can’t do it alone. Friends are made, friends are lost--that is the nature of the path he must walk. This is not the story of a blessed, perfect hero, but of a flawed, young man who has to shed his weaknesses. Together, witness his journey into becoming not just a proper hero, but a proper human. — DISCORD: https://discord.gg/ph6qfFknqe -- If you want to support the author: https://ko-fi.com/delzgb https://paypal.me/delzgb --- Cover done by Izu

The End of A Journey

"It is not my role to eradicate. It is my burden to guide those sunken in darkness into the light. That is my own Eightfold Noble Path – Andraste, what you are about to experience is the termination of all darkness in your heart. Are you prepared?" 

"..." 

Andraste remained silent, uncaring for the young man's words as he watched his own blood trickle down onto the neat stone below. 

"Don't shield your eyes from your own past." 

"--!"

–It was as those words came out, that the knight's mind was captured by something; an awakening force that conjured memories buried deep within–forcing him to witness them all at once, simultaneously, yet meticulously and in-depth, as if experiencing them for the very first time. 

"What…is this?!" He stammered out. 

As if a key switched a lock, so tightly sealed, within his heart; the past which felt distant from himself, once more became precious. 

"That is the past you abandoned, Andraste."
