The Forsaken Hero

I closed my eyes and sighed, letting the needle slip through my fingers and clatter to the alley floor. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. There was always someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death. I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to find the light. Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

Captured

"Elise?" I choked out, my voice trembling. "What's happening? Why did you—"

"Looks like she was right," Elise said, ignoring my questions. She raised her hand, revealing another ring next to the first. It was an ornate band of gold topped by a diamond—nearly identical to the bracelet I now wore. The control half of a Soul Binder, the same kind the inquisitor had tricked me into wearing.

"No! Please, no!" I recoiled, my voice thick with horror. "W-why? And where is she? What did you do with Elise?"

She shrugged nonchalantly. "Nothing, of course. If anything, she's enjoying her life more than ever right now, though she seemed a little irritated when I interrupted her and Alverin's nightly fun."

"You're lying," I whispered, blinking back the tears.

"Maybe, maybe not," she said with a wink. "That's the best part about secrets, isn't it?"
