Not everyone can be chosen, and not all who are can become heroes.
Enter into a world where the whims of gods and magic hold sway. Avaria, the Goddess of Justice, chooses a champion, and in doing so, invites the attention of an even more ancient and powerful force. Dark designs, unfathomable and ominous, wrap themselves around our hero, as he struggles to find his footing in this strange and dangerous new world.
The familiar rules and structures of his old life are now but a mirage, a distant memory, as he fights to survive in a land where every step could bring death, and every mistake is paid for in blood. The creatures he encounters are alien, unlike anything he has ever imagined, and the environment he finds himself in is a terrifying nightmare.
Slowly but surely, he is forced to adapt, assimilating skills and abilities that he can barely comprehend. And this is no easy journey, no simple quest. Every level he gains is earned through sacrifice and suffering, and there are no conveniences to ease his path. No instant language learning, no internal maps, and no clear explanations from magical fairy guides for the powers he now possesses.
As he struggles to come to grips with this new reality, our hero is forced to confront the true nature of humanity when pushed to its limits. Justice is no longer a matter of courts and lawyers, but rather, of martial skill and magical strength. Heroes and villains alike are revealed in stark relief, and the value of human life is put into question.
For our hero, the question remains: Is this world real, or merely an illusion? And in the end, does it matter? For he is now a part of it, and his actions will shape its future, for better… or for worse…
