The Forsaken Hero

Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY I closed my eyes with a sigh and let the needle slip through limp fingers. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. They could always find someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...I don’t remember 'nothingness' having 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. Yet, the words of my goddess ring true. Whatever happens is meant to be. The brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can finally escape that shadow and embrace the light. *The tags on this novel are not for show. Its a dark, sad story filled with hurt and betrayal. It gets "better" after a while, but ultimately, this story explores the depths of anguish and suffering and the price of finding hope and healing.
