Chichikov Is The Hero Of Which Classic

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

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.

Elric's life had been nothing short of a nightmare since his childhood. He was constantly bullied at school, detested and ignored by his family, and left with nobody to care whether he lived or died. The accumulated loneliness and suffering from decades pushed him into a severe depression, and he ultimately decided to take his life’s final decision… Suicide. One day, Elric's soul heard a voice calling out to him. "Wake up, Elric. I am the God of Darkness, and I'm here to give you another chance at life." To the God of Darkness, Elric replied with only two words… "Fuck off!" Now forced with the possibility of a new life despite his unwillingness… Elric must decide whether to become a puppet or forge a new destiny with his own hands. Will he overcome his traumatic past, or will he squander yet another chance at life?

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.

Hardin, a seventeen year old is pulled into the world of adventurers and superheroes after risking his life to save a small boy. He awakened a power deep within him. One that would save humanity from the clutches of a fast growing villain syndicate that threatens the calm beautiful lands of Aurelia.

In a world where humanity is on the brink of collapse, society is governed by the Awakened—humans who have unlocked supernatural abilities and rise through ranks of power by defeating monsters in dungeons. The dungeons appeared mysteriously decades ago, bringing with them dangerous creatures that now threaten the survival of the world. The Awakened are society's only line of defense, but the system of power is corrupt, and the strongest hoard their abilities, controlling the flow of resources and status. At the center of this world is Jin Woo, an 18-year-old boy who, unlike his peers, never manifested any powers. Growing up in the slums, Jin Woo struggles to survive, enduring both the hardships of poverty and the scorn of a society that places value only on power. His one solace is his strong sense of justice, instilled in him by his late father, a former Awakened hero who mysteriously disappeared after a major battle. Jin Woo has spent his life studying the dungeons and training his body, in hopes that one day he could stand among the Awakened, despite being ordinary. Jin Woo’s life changes when he is killed in a surprise attack by a monster swarm in an illegal dungeon. In his final moments, Jin Woo curses the world’s unfairness, wishing for a chance to change his fate. His wish is granted when a mysterious entity known as The System offers him the chance to be “reborn.” The System gives him the unique ability to break free of the traditional leveling system, allowing him to surpass the limits of ordinary Awakened by continuously evolving without restrictions. Resurrected with newfound power, Jin Woo sets out on a quest to not only rise through the ranks of the Awakened but to challenge the very foundation of the corrupted system that controls them. Along the way, he forms bonds with a group of unlikely allies: Hana, a brilliant but mysterious mage whose magical potential was stunted by a hidden curse; Kaito, a former elite fighter who turned rogue after discovering the dark secrets of the Awakened; and Lina, an archer from a noble family who rebels against her own kin to fight for what’s right. Together, they uncover a deeper conspiracy involving the origin of the dungeons and the true purpose of the monsters. As Jin Woo pushes past the boundaries of strength and ability, he must contend not only with increasingly powerful enemies but also with the dangerous effects of The System on his mind and body. The more power he gains, the more he risks losing his humanity. Torn between his desire to protect those he loves and the temptation to wield absolute power, Jin Woo faces the ultimate choice: Will he become the hero the world needs, or will he fall victim to the very forces he seeks to destroy? In Ascendant Hero: Rebirth of the Limitbreaker, themes of power, corruption, and the human spirit intertwine in an epic tale of survival and self-discovery in a world where the greatest danger may not be the monsters, but the very system built to fight them.

With the world on the brink of destruction, he must navigate this unfamiliar realm and confront the dark forces threatening to obliterate everything he holds dear.

“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.
