The Forsaken Hero

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

Into the City

Fable crossed the battlefield in great leaps and bounds, the corpse-strewn hills becoming a blur of bloodstained foliage. Blood and gore pooled in the valleys, forming thick, crimson ooze rivulets that snaked their way down the slopes. Shattered armor littered the ground, glinting ominously in the afternoon sun.

The rumble of mana cannons intensified, their roar competing with the chorus of screams as we bypassed the battles still raging along the walls. I winced, the sounds of pain and death washing over me, and added a third-circle Sound Ward to the Nexus, muting the cacophony.

Luxxa glanced at me as she felt the change, her eyes filled with concern. I shook my head, trying to tell her I was fine. She wouldn't be able to see them from her vantage running alongside us, but my hands clenched tightly around Fable's fur told a different story.
