Heroes to Hunted

[The chapters are typically somewhat long for a webnovel (2000+ words) and the pacing is slow (sometimes overly so and I'm working on that). Only proceed if you like a slow burning but well fleshed out story with side characters that are more than just side-pieces to the MC. I explore them just as much as I do him.] "There are no heroes in war, only monsters." This was an outlook that Sato Katsuro, a man in service to the military, formed after being broken down by years of gore-filled battle. It was an outlook he took even to his grave, but what about beyond it? Transmigrated into a new land of fantasy and tasked to be the very thing he'd given up on becoming, Sato would have to fight a new war. A war between mankind and an oppressive enemy regime run by a cohort of demons. But, as Sato learned in his past, war wasn't always what it seemed. In war, truths were lies, friends were enemies, and the so-called heroes...they were often the villains. Additional Tags: Dark, realistic fantasy

Sato vs Vincent, Part Two

'Joseph is...dead?' I stood in shock. Though I was used to comrades dying, he wasn't supposed to. I was supposed to have saved him.

"Dammit..." I pulled my hand from his neck, frustrated by my failure.

"Oh... So the boy has passed?" Vincent inquired while fixing his wrist. The bone snapped and crackled as he maneuvered it back in place. "You have my condolences, truly..."

I had no snarky quip or retort to offer. Instead, I took several deep breaths to calm down, then turned toward Vincent with a clenched jaw and balled-up fists, one with a knife in hand.

He stopped in place with a courteous grin. "I can allow you a few moments to mourn the dead if you wish. I'll grant you this mercy."

Despite his words, my vigilant gaze remained fixed on Vincent. 'I'll be damned if he thinks he can lower my guard,' I growled to myself.
