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?'
Grey cloaks camp
'Where are we going?' Shen thought. He didn't dare to ask this question to the sergeant.
Sit where you are comfortable! It was one of the most important rules of survival within the recruit's camp.
Doing anything that made sergeants notice the recruits was the simplest and shortest way to get punished. Only by doing exactly what one expected and ignoring anything that wasn't directly related could one hope to keep a somewhat peaceful life at a camp.
"First thing first, you need to forget everything that you learned back in the camp," the sergeant said as if reading Shen's mind. "The rules that you were just thinking about are for infantry, not for the unit you will be in," the sergeant added.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't understand," Shen used all of his courage to speak.
