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?'
No good deed will go unpunished
"Doesn't that mean there is still some left?" Leon asked while gracing the girl with a wide grin.
'I didn't think it through,' he simultaneously complained in his thoughts while fighting his own body to stop an ugly grimace from taking over his shrewd grin.
"You took all my money..." Natalye repeated herself, only showing how taken aback by Leon's suggestion she was, "and you still want more?!"
Her face tensed up. She then looked away, as if in an attempt to hide the contempt that flashed in her eyes.
"More?" Leon raised his eyebrows. He then turned his expression to a taken-aback one. "Are you trying to tell me the information I sold you wasn't worth that little?" he asked before leaning his head over his shoulder.
Natalye turned her face over. And as she looked at Leon's expression... her own stance mellowed down.
