“The human body is a fragile thing. But the soul... The soul is malleable. Easily tainted. All it takes is one drop of blood to dye it all red.” 

It was supposed to be a simple job. Escort Alden to Lightendale and collect the handsome reward. The reward that would let him live the rest of his life with ease. But it’s never that simple, especially for someone who denies the Gods. Death follows Leor everywhere he goes, cutting down his friends and family. When his first love died at the hands of a rampaging Awakened, he was prepared to throw everything away until a mysterious voice offered him a chance for revenge and a chance to bring her back by completing the seven trials. 

He wants to destroy the Gods who abuse their powers, but will he team up with a Goddess to accomplish his goal?

UPDATE (10/18/21): I will no longer be updating this version of the story. Thank you all who actually liked this version, but this version does not sit well with me anymore. I have an updated version called: Condemned: Tale of Light. Please read this story on that fiction page instead. I changed many things. Thanks again for reading. I hope to see you on the new version. 

I'll leave this old version up for people to compare with the new one. Like a public first first draft.
