The Forsaken Hero

I closed my eyes and sighed, letting the needle slip through my fingers and clatter to the alley floor. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. There was always someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death. I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to find the light. Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

Alone in the Dark

The throne room fell silent, all eyes on me. The weight of their expectations pressed down on me, and I instinctively took a step back, my tail trembling. Alverin stood with his hand outstretched, Elise clinging to his arm, her face buried in his shoulder.

As I hesitated, Luxxa's voice, sharp with disbelief, cut through the tension. "You can't seriously be considering it," she hissed. "We'll kill them all together, then take on that bastard king."

I glanced back at Elise, but she only had eyes for Alverin. Her presence was both a threat and a source of agonizing concern. As long as she was under his control, he could and would use her against me. Defying him would only cause her pain, perhaps even death.
