Bloodmancer: Hero of Ruin
To be a hero is a curse, not a blessing. It's a simple truth Leon learned in the most painful of ways. He heroically slaughtered all the enemies of his president. Heroically purged those who opposed his master. And heroically brought doom to those who cried under the boot of the world's dictator. Leon saw the death of his family; a result of the events he set in motion himself. He saw his beloved city turn into ruins, scorched by the radioactive flames of the nuke he set off. His title was as cheap as his life. And in the only act of rebellion he could find, he heroically put an end to his life... And the world he helped to destroy. 'All of this happened... But why am I hearing a self-entitled voice calling me a failure?' Leon couldn't help but ponder. 'No, that's not it...' he quickly corrected himself. 'How can I hear anything if I evaporated in the wake of the nuke I detonated myself?'
Greatest challenge of a real travel
The forest was just like Leon remembered it from earlier in the day. Lush, healthy, and extremely fragrant.
A place far better and more comforting than any forest that was left on the face of Leon's home planet.
The forest was full of life... yet, it was devoid of it at the same time.
The greenery was thick, the trees were tall and thick and the undergrowth made for an extremely soft floor. There were thousands of different plants scattered all over the place...
And yet, not a single animal was in sight.
'This doesn't look like a forest that people are scared of,' Leon thought, slowly cutting through the thicker parts of the forest as he heralded the entire procession. 'It's too silent, way too silent,' he thought, squinting his eyes...
Only to end up closing them altogether.
'But I can't say I dislike this silence.'
Leon closed his eyes and allowed the tranquility of the place to fill his soul.
