Halsey Nightmare Slowed

(Find the full book on already on RoyalRoad!) The gods make mistakes, and she is the greatest of them all. Can this accidentally chosen one save the world from herself? Ashtik Sai-Weleg is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She's nothing but a simple huntress with some mild social anxiety. That is all she has ever been, and that is all she ever wanted to be. Then an old and long-since forgotten god decided to put into action, his ancient and foretold prophecy. If all goes to plan, his holy Champion would have been there to save the world. Only... it did not go to plan. Instead of the chosen one, his divine mark has been violently attached to Ashtik, and now the whole world stands on the edge. Can she unite the world? Can she forge an alliance to battle the apocalypse? Can she remain on the side of good when all evil actions seem to save so many more lives? Probably not, but it might be fun to see how she gets along. The world either thinks her a chosen one or a wicked lying heretic, only she knows that the truth isn't nearly that simple. A rise to the top tale, featuring themes of imposter syndrome, addiction and (found)family bonds. Warning; Ashtik isn't a superhero. Punches hurt like hell, and she gets her ass kicked a fair amount. This isn't a power fantasy, its a tragedy.

In a world hauntingly reminiscent of our own, the very fabric of reality is violently ripped apart when prehistoric titans—monstrous beings long relegated to the pages of history and legend—emerge from the shadows of time. Towering and primal, these colossal creatures wreak havoc on cities, their thunderous roars reverberating through the remnants of modern civilization as humanity grapples with an unimaginable cataclysm. Yet the chaos is only beginning. As the earth quakes beneath the weight of these ancient giants, something even more profound stirs. The gods of old—primordial forces once revered, feared, and ultimately forgotten—awaken from their millennia-long slumber. Their return is anything but gentle; it is seismic. Their mere presence distorts reality itself, reshaping the world to reflect their ancient dominion. No longer just symbols of myth, these deities walk among the ruins, awe-inspiring and terrifying, their motives shrouded in mystery as they seek to reclaim a world that has long forsaken them. In the midst of this upheaval, one unfortunate man finds himself chosen by one of these gods as a champion. But to truly embody this role, he must prove his worthiness—not just as a servant but as a devoted slave to a mighty lord, navigating a treacherous path that challenges the very essence of his humanity. As he grapples with the weight of his new destiny, he must confront the gods' wrath, the titans' fury, and the lingering question: what does it truly mean to be worthy?
