<p>Noah was born different. Defective, they'd say. A nonstarter with attributes denoting a bleak future.</p> <p>His abusive parents have washed their hands of him and placed all of their bets on his prodigious little brother. His social life is nonexistent, his friends are all inside of his head, and he's the ostracized and bullied pariah of the town with a worldview as broad as the length of the four walls of his bedroom. Then, he dies—accidentally killed like a stray dog by those who'd made his life hell.</p> <p>In death, a goddess offers him a deal that would grant him life once more. But the deal comes with a toll—to ascend, he must sacrifice his fellows of humanity. Hesitant, he accepts. But how far will he make it along a path that calls for blood? Will his convictions endure as a once tightly constricted perspective is nurtured by friendship, hardship, newfound wisdom of humanity, and the living of renewed life?</p> <p>Along his path, there are a thousand routes bearing the thousands of tales of a thousand lives. He'll walk them all until he's become the stuff of legend.</p> <p>Note: The story is slow-paced and primarily about the characters, character interactions, and character psychology—notably the MC's. There's sprinkles of action here and there. The MC is not a heartless villain despite how it presents initially. This is also a character study, so expect a character to be complex before you assume they're one-note.</p> <p>Additional Tags: [Character Study] [Coming of Age]</p> <p>This story is only uploaded on RoyalRoad by ALittleSus.
