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 vs Vincent, Part One

My breaths came in short, sharp bursts, and my muscles quaked with each inhalation. 

"Ugh, damn," I winced, following a ragged sigh; the simple act of breathing sent ripples of searing agony throughout my body. 

Meanwhile, Vincent stood before me, his gaze unflinching and unwavering. Only when he sighed and shook his head did his expressive grin falter.  "I apologize; typically, I prefer a more efficient method of dispatching a foe - a slice to the neck or stab to the heart," his words carried a tinge of genuine remorse. 

"I don't relish the thought of causing you pain, but I'd rather not ruin my suit with your entrails. Unfortunately, that means I'll have to destroy your organs with blunt trauma," his eyes sank in pity as if staring at a wounded puppy.

"It'll be painful," he continued, adjusting his black gloves, "but it's unavoidable. I hope you'll forgive me."
