Heroes to Hunted

"There are no heroes in war, only monsters." This was an outlook that Sato Katsuro, a man in service to the military, formed after being broken by two years of battle. It was an outlook he took even to his grave, but what about beyond it? Summoned into a new land of fantasy--Sato's tasked with being the very thing he'd given up on becoming. He'd have to fight a new war. A war between mankind and an oppressive enemy regime run by a cohort of demons. But, as Sato learned in his past, war wasn't always what it seemed. In war, truths were lies, friends were enemies, and the so-called heroes...they were often the villains. Additional Tags: Dark, realistic fantasy

Sato's Affinity, Part Two

No matter how much I tried, I couldn't sleep. 

Adrenaline aside, I was too afraid to wake up covered in flame again. So I convinced the rest of my party to sleep in my stead. Rather than shifts, I'd be taking watch until sunrise.

The Traunt brothers quickly retreated to bed; however, Mizuno stayed up to explain what had happened. Meanwhile, Barik was lying on his bedroll with his head propped atop his arms, listening.

Pre-combustion, Mizuno said she'd discovered small but noticeably bright red orbs gravitating into my body while I slept. They pooled into me until my flesh emitted a radiant heat and ignited.

What most concerned her wasn't the fire. She said one losing control of their mana at first was common. What did worry her was how I'd used magic while unconscious.
