I was once a hero. A beacon of hope in a world shrouded in darkness. I fought countless battles, faced unimaginable challenges, and sacrificed everything for the sake of humanity. Family, friendship, love—all were pushed aside in pursuit of a singular purpose: to save the world. And I had no regrets.
My life had been a relentless cycle of arduous training and endless adventures. I honed my skills, unlocked hidden powers, and vanquished every evil that threatened our existence. But my greatest triumph came when I stood face to face with the once-invicible Demon King, the embodiment of all that was evil. It was a battle of epic proportions, one that shook the very foundations of our world.
Victory was sweet that day, but it was also short-lived. As I stood over the fallen Demon King, bathed in his vanquished darkness, I felt a sudden, searing pain in my back. It was a betrayal, the ultimate betrayal, for it came from those I had called my allies, my comrades in arms. They had struck me down fatally, without warning, without remorse.
As I lay there, my vision fading, I overheard their conversation. They spoke of their fear—fear of me. Fear of the power I possessed, the strength that had allowed me to become a hero. Even the divine gods, beings I had once revered, were wary of me. I had become too powerful, too dangerous in their eyes.
In that moment, I understood their jealousy. I had become a symbol of hope, an icon of heroism, and they couldn't bear it. I had been wrong all along. The world I had fought so hard to save, the humanity I had cherished, they were not worth it. My faith in them had been misplaced.
As my life force ebbed away, and my soul began to disperse into the void, I let out a defiant roar—a scream of anger, of betrayal, of unfulfilled vengeance. It was in that moment that Satan himself heard my cry, and he offered me a choice, a chance for revenge on those ingrates who had wronged me.
I seized that chance without hesitation. I accepted Satan's offer and felt a surge of power unlike anything I had ever known. It coursed through my being, revitalizing me, and I was reborn. But this time, my heart held no hope for humanity, and there was no reverence left for the gods. All that remained was the power of Satan and a relentless thirst for vengeance.
I had returned to the beginning of my hero's journey, but this time, I was not the hero they once knew. I was something far darker, far more dangerous, and I would make them all pay for their betrayal. The world that had once looked up to me with hope would now cower in fear, and the gods themselves would tremble at my presence.
My journey had taken a dark turn, and I was no longer a hero. I was a fallen hero, and I would rise from the ashes to exact my revenge. The world would never be the same again.
