The Hero Who Returned

.

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

Heroes are supposed to shine like gold in the memories of those that they have sworn to protect, a beacon of hope on the world's darkest night. They're stars, shinning beautiful, bright, and dying in a glorious explosion of light as they give their lives for their city. Sometimes the heroes don't stay dead though. Sometimes they come back, and they come back wrong. What happens then, when a hero, that is just as much dead as they are alive, finds their way back into the world of the living?

When you think the ones who always get bullied will remain the weakest among the people on the planet, but turns out fate could not even stop him when he is eager to change.

The once-unshakable unity fostered by the Velandor Constitution begins to crumble, and the Ancestral Palace, led by Lord Gideon Leondell, struggles to maintain control. Tensions rise as the balance of power and peace that has long defined the empire teeters on the edge of collapse. In the midst of this turmoil, the legendary ancestor of the Leondell family mysteriously returns, wielding the ancient authority of the Constitution to restore order. Yet, not all welcome this resurgence of power. Coalitions of defiance and resistance form, threatening to shatter the fragile peace. With alliances unraveling and nations on the brink of war, the return of the ancestor may either be Velandor's salvation—or the spark that ignites its downfall. "The Ancestor Has Returned" is a tale of political intrigue, ancient legacies, and the fierce battle to preserve peace in a world on the verge of chaos.

Kail, a 23-year-old customer support agent, found himself in an unexpected predicament – he was somehow transported into the world of his beloved RPG game, "Stopping Ragnarok." To his astonishment, he wasn't alone in this bizarre adventure. Eight other players, supposedly the chosen ones destined to rescue the world within the game, joined him on this quest. Their mission? To thwart the sinister forces threatening to eradicate humanity in Terra Mercuria. It all sounded quite epic, at least in theory. However, as they delved into their adventure, reality quickly dispelled any grandiose expectations. The warrior turned out to be rather, well, twinkish, not exactly the imposing figure Kail had imagined. The mage had an odd fascination with dark magic, which was more intriguing than practical. The healer, a girl, had an unexpected twist – she possessed an anatomical surprise that defied convention. The Rogue, meant to be stealthy and ruthless, was far too polite and kind-hearted to fit the bill. The Ranger, whose title suggested environmental awareness, displayed a conspicuous disregard for nature's well-being. The Paladin, expected to be virtuous and noble, seemed more interested in flirting than righteousness. The Necromancer, a master of the undead, harbored a comical fear of his own creations. And then there was the Hero, the one designated to lead this motley crew. To Kail's surprise, the Hero vehemently rejected his role and instead clung to Kail, the Bard, as if he were a lifeline in this absurd world. So, while their mission to save Terra Mercuria remained a noble pursuit in theory, the reality of their adventure was shaping up to be quite the comedic spectacle.
