The Outcast Royal

Alex was a thin man all his life. No matter how hard he attempted work out or how much he ate, he remained extremely weak and somewhat unsightly to others. It didn't help that he was albino and couldn't walk in the sun for long periods of time. He was walking alone one night and came across a small trail of blood, hearing whimpering from the hedges next to a dark alleyway a few blocks from his house. As he approached, he noticed a dog bleeding underneath the brush, suffering from multiple stab wounds. He attempted to drag the dog out, but heard a man's voice as he felt a sharp pain enter his back, and slash through his gut on the other side. He cried in pain while attempting to hold himself together, feeling more pain as he was stabbed, over and over again by a hooded man. He could almost see a wide smile through the shade over the man's face as he was slowly bleeding on the ground. The last words he heard in this world were, "It feels so much better than these dumb animals that I usually get. Too bad your worthless a*s can't put up a real fight." Choking on blood and crying, he finally let out his final breath, only to find himself alone in an abyssal darkness. It was then that he heard a woman's voice, distant, like the faint light that he could see coming slowly towards him. "Are you ready for a new life? To be part of a better world?" Join me as we go through Alex's new struggles alongside him, as he travels the open world of Ancora. *** This is my first book and attempt at writing, so I hope that you enjoy it. There won't be an all powerful "system" to help him through his problems, nor extremely convenient and easy to find tools that make extremely strong. Well, maybe just one or two... Maybe.
