《The Great Hero》Chapter 3: The Great Hero
Advertisement
The pain and torment of being imprisoned in a state of absolute nothingness only having memories of past woes to look to as the only beacon in the infernal void would drive any good man insane. Though I had come to my senses, with nothing to do, I pondered. My trance of being in an existential crisis had long passed. A question still remained in my head based upon my new found beliefs.
How?
How do I undermine this constant cycle of defeat and rebuilding?
How do I pull apart this predestined end?
How do I win?
Win?
It’s not a matter of winning just to defy the outcome of defeat. Victory is not the only means to obtain my end. I must not let my anger and resentment of the humans who did all of this take control of me or it will only perpetuate the cycle.
When suddenly; a monotone, seemingly artificial, voice resounded in my head. It was a voice I was all too familiar with. The voice of [The System]. [The System] is an entity and/or phenomena that not even the greatest demon sages can explain. There is one trait that is well known about [The System], absolute neutrality, and that is why I don’t lament [The System] itself for pushing forward the tyrannical cycle of death and murder.

What the hell is going on? This makes no sense! [The System] has never done anything like this before.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE: Point of incursion found. establishing connection.]
Wait what?
A resounding headache struck my entire being as if I was fighting for my very being itself.
It hurts.
It’s painful.
I can feel my conscience being pulled into the ether as if my existence is no longer necessary.
However I MUST NOT FALL HERE.
I CAN’T. Not until I have rectified this loop of never ending sorrow.
The pain slowly subsides.
[SYSTEM MESSAGE: original connection overwritten. Connection established]
My conscience fades into the ether.
When I come to, I feel strange. My eyes adjust to the light.
Wait!
Eyes!
Where am I?
A regal voice resounds throughout the room.
“Oh great hero; please, I implore you, help us in our time of greatest need!”

8 115Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.
