The Hero's Ritual: a deadly contest where one hundred candidates vie for the title of Hero. In this brutal game of survival, where only the strong live and the weak are destined to perish, a young boy without any talent for battle manages to survive by a mind sharper than any sword. Upon learning that he has been chosen as the Hero, he naively believes that his life will finally see a glimmer of hope. But what awaits him is far from a Hero’s glorious future. 'You… must die here.' Before his journey as a Hero can even begin, his beloved childhood friend pushes him off a cliff. All that awaits him now… is the abyss. This is not the story of a Hero's triumph. It's merely the desperate cries of a fallen one. *** Patreon  - Soul of the Love Warriors | Patreon ***
