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

Out of Darkness

I plummeted into the darkness, the wind rushed in my ears, feeling numb and cold inside. Countless thoughts flitted through my mind, scattering like frozen leaves. The darkness below beckoned to me, sucking me in, but some small part of me, a survival instinct, perhaps, forced my heavy body into motion. Somehow, through more luck than anything, my staff snagged a hidden crevasse, pulling me to a stop. The sickening lurch almost tore my arm off, pain shooting through the numbness, but I held on for all I was worth.

Taking a shaky breath, I risked a glance down, finding my feet dangling above what seemed an endless abyss. A wave of dizziness washed through me, black spots dancing before my eyes, my stomach twisting violently. My grip nearly broke then and there, but I struggled to take deep breaths, and the vertigo lessened.
