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...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.

Superpowers appeared suddenly plunging the world into chaos. Wars broke out, countries were destroyed, and the powers spread like a plague. 100 years later powers became the norm, countries all collapsed, and The Watch rose up to protect the world. Life was black and white. The heroes fought the villains and saved the day, the villains did bad things and were defeated. That’s how most children saw it. Peter Het never should have seen it that way, but he did - until his image of the world burnt in front of his eyes. Levi Winter always saw it that way - until the world gave him reason to. Both wanted to try and make a difference using the powers they'd been born with. One had planned to help the world by being the perfect hero, the other by killing the people he saw as responsible for the problems that polluted the world. Neither found themselves doing what they’d imagined. The one seeking to be a hero became a criminal, the one seeking vengeance became an icon of heroes. Their paths in life diverged like streams rushing down a mountain and are then brought back together to cascade over the edge into a new unknown. Both are seeking peace in the unceasing hurricane of life and the violence they can’t escape, and they’ve come to realize that ‘hero’ is nothing more than a title.

I was going around my everyday life when suddenly something very strange and creepy happened! I still didn’t understand the mystery behind my sudden death. One moment I was a normal office employee in a small game company, the next moment I was a slave who fainted just from getting slapped! “Hey Delta, why did you kill me?” - “Delta brought host into this world for a purpose. Host must save Goddess Psais because without her permission, Delta cannot send host back to his world.” A purpose, a System, a Status Window and a magical world filled with magical mysteries. Though I desired for change from my monotonous life, I now realize that change was not always for the good! Now I want only one thing more than anything, which is to go back to the life which was safe and quiet. *** This is a story about a damsel in distress who is captured by a monster and our protagonist is tasked to be the hero who saves her. However, is the damsel, a Goddess, truly in distress? Is the monster that killed Gods and Goddesses and enslaved Destiny, truly a villain? Is the human, who is forced to be a hero, truly a Hero? Follow Deniel in his journey as he explores a new and mysterious world after being reincarnated as Alex. Watch him make mistakes and learn from them. Watch how a normal human with a frail physique and a weak mentality grows to be the strongest being that can even rival the Gods! Watch him find out what Fate truly is and how greedy Death can be for a soul. *** [P.S: This is the first time I'm writing a novel and English was not my first language.

He then moved his hands beneath my dress and ripped it apart. I gasped. ''.....You are perfect....'' He whispered, hoarse, unclear. ''Damian'' I hushed. I leaned in closer, deeper into his chest.

“Why?! I won but it doesn’t feel like it” said Theo the hero who didn’t look very heroic as tears streamed down his face. With a heavy heart, he gripped his sword the blade glinting in the dim light, and drove it into his chest. “System awakened, Calculatijg achievements, defeated low tier demon king check! defeated his three dukes of hell check! Potentially the worst hero in history check! hero complex broke check additional points being calculated” said the system unenthusiastically while innerly freaking out. ‘A hero with a broken hero complex How interesting and unexpected’ thought the system. “Would the host like a second chance and more power?” said the system trying to get on with it. ‘what the hell?! aren't I dead? maybe god has granted me a chance to do better, I knew the gods haven't forsaken us’ the hero thought clearly remembering piercing his heart but calmly composed himself with signs of his hero complex returning. “No idiot I doubt you could handle speaking to a god without them accidentally killing you, would you like to restart or not?” said the system forever shattering the hero complex that showed signs of resurfacing. “yes!” the hero said without much thought at the chance to do better and protect his friends.

I grew up in the Bay Area. My family took trips to the aquarium in Monterey where I was mesmerized by the sea animals.
