'Come you fat bastard lick my shoes!' a blond young man yelled as he kicked a boy down on the ground with all his might, the boy on the ground grunted and held his stomach as he curled up to ease at least some of the pain that was being inflicted upon him.

'Every day is the same I don't even care anymore' the young boy on the ground thought to himself, unfortunately for him he was used to the treatment he got in his school, he was your average high school boy but he had a little problem with his wright but he honestly didn't have a complex about that. But unfortunately, the other kids of his age didn't look at it like that they were always looking for someone inferior in their eyes so they could prove their worth to the rest by bullying the others.

This was also the case with Connor here, from the first day he started going to the school he was marked by the known bullies, but what hurt him the most was the blond kid that was currently trying to make him lick his shoes. Adam, he was known to be a kind and caring to the other kids that were bullied but beneath that facade was his true face, Adam simply enjoyed befriending his target first before cruelly ganging up on his target with the rest of his friends.

'Connor who the hell told you could glare at me like that you little fat shit!' another merciless kick went flying towards Connor but this time it was his face that was ruthlessly kicked. Warmblood started flowing out of Connor's nose as he clutched his nose in hopes of lessening the pain but it was futile.

'Adam class is about to start I am bored of this little shit lets get going already' one of Adam's lackeys yawned as he urged him to leave and get back to class. Adam looked back at his lackeys and agreed with them that they should start heading back.

'Oh and one more thing Connor don't you dare leave the school today!' Adam smiled viciously at Connor who was still fighting desperately to stop his bleeding nose.

'Fuck you!' Connor stood up slowly after some time he knew he was going to be late for his class but he really didn't care anymore, he cursed his life and the people that ruined it every day for him, he cursed them with all of his might he hated them, he hated his weak self but most of all he started to hate humans as a whole. He was not stupid he knew there were thousands or millions of kids like him that get the same or worse treatment every day for whatever reason their bullies find.

But at his moment his hate was at the peak of his soul he started to pound the wall with his fists as tears he never showed to his bullies slowly fell down his bloodied face.

He was too absorbed to even notice a circle appear underneath his feet when he did it was already to late the blinding light swallowed him whole.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Connor slowly opened his eyes he looked around him and saw all the students from his class some were speaking with each other with worried looks, some girls were comforting another crying girl that held her knees to her face as she sat down on what appears to be a white space no floor or ceiling it was completely empty except for the thirty student.

It wasn't long before another light appeared before them but this new light was different it was warm and radiant like the sun itself, the light calmed many of the panicking students but their faces still held worry.

'Calm yourself brave heroes do not be afraid I will not harm you' the voice they heard was the most pleasing and beautiful voice they ever heard it calmed them completely now, even Connor had forgotten his ordeal for a moment but it was only for a moment before he spotted Adam and the rest of his friends as they looked towards the warm light.

'Heroes my fellow gods and I have all decided that it was time to intervene in one of the worlds we govern for this we are in need of your help, dark forces loom in the world of Asteria we believe it has something to do with dark forces and for that we have summoned the chosen champions, each of you will receive a blessing of the god'

The voice they heard speaking to them was most definitely that of a woman so a goddess, the goddess stopped speaking for a moment most likely so that the new heroes would take in the information she has given. 'Now then we must not delay any further'.

With those words, she appeared out of the radiant light a pure with dress golden hair her skin was white like the snow anyone who has seen would only think one-word 'goddess'.

It wasn't long before many other gods and goddesses appeared and had chosen their champions, most of the students were now giggling happily as they chatted in a friendly manner with the diety that has chosen them all except one.

'Connor what is this, haha even the gods don't like your fat ass!' the one who said those words was none other than Adam, he approached the Connor who averted his eyes towards his feet, he was surprised as well but when Adam spoke to him just now he all the emotions surged back again he hated even the gods now he hated everything he saw at the moment.

'What is this a child that was not chosen by the god?' the goddess slowly walked and stopped by Adam's side as she glared at Connor, surprisingly there was no more warm light in her eyes or her smile they had all faded she looked at Connor with pure disgust.

'Goddess Leila since my friend Connor was not chosen by any of the gods he can return home right?' Adam smiled as he talked to the goddess in white Leila.

'Yes indeed' she waved her hand and a strange looking portal popped out behind Connor, the portal was a mixture of black and purple and darkness was the only thing Connor saw inside. At first he wanted to step back but he felt a hand push him inside, as he was falling down he turned his head and saw Adam along with looking at him with big evil grins the last thing he heard was Adam saying 'oh right that's the portal to something called the void enjoy fatass!'.

Darkness, that was the only word Connor could describe what was in front of him he couldn't how Adam could do this it was beyond him he could understand bullying but this was now pure murder he had killed him, he screamed in hate he cursed them all his classmates, himself and now even the gods.

He didn't even know how long he screamed he had lost track of time in this darkness he could not see anything he also felt nothing. All he could do was build up his hate and that was what he did.

'How amusing, instead of going mad you are actually getting corrupted by the second haha amusing indeed!' Connor heard a deep and dark voice it was neither a woman or a man but it also didn't sound human at all.

'Whos there!' Connor jumped in fright he looked around but just like before he saw nothing but darkness all around him. He got his answer not long after his panicked attempt at locating the source of the strange dark voice.

'I am the darkness little human, I am the void and you have been thrown in here to die' the voice answered Connor's question with an amused voice.

'So you are going to kill me?' instead of panicking like before Connor sat down and simply stared off into the darkness of the void.

'Kill you? Maybe but wouldn't it be more amusing if you could reunite with your...friends, you see I peeked inside your memories a little and I must say I am surprised those fools think they can summon their champions like they please I reckon the dark gods will be doing the same thing, so I was thinking why not get in on the fun they tell such pretty lies to you mortals like saving the world when they are just making a game for themselves so why should I be excluded haha even tho they have surely forgotten about me'

The entity spoke for a long time which had left Connor without words he only stared into the darkness like before.

'I have a deal for you mortal, I will release your pitiful soul into their world where you can do whatever you want all I ask in return is to entertain me, I will even give you my blessing so do enjoy yourself and remember to entertain me' the voice spoke with the same tone like before but this time one could tell that the entity was entertained.

'Only my soul?' Connor was not stupid he heard what this thing had said, it only mentions the soul not the whole body truthfully he was a little excited but he kept it down for now.

'Yes, what do you except your body? Haha that little fleshy thing of yours was gone the moment you entered my realm, the only thing that is left of you is your soul which has gathered hatred for a long time now, you see time flows differently here so you didn't even notice that a thousand years have passed, well then off you go champion of the void find a body with the same hatred find it and claim it and remember do entertain me or I will devour you' those ominous words where the last thing Connor heard before he felt the darkness crumble beneath him.

He didn't know how long he had floated and searched he didn't see anything until he saw the familiar darkness a tiny little flicker of darkness without hesitation, he slammed into that little flicker.

....................................................................

Desert kingdom Akarah was one of the smaller kingdoms in the great desert Leikur, the city Nesairna was currently closed of entirely, entry into the city was forbidden by the king's orders no one was to leave nor enter.

The king was currently dealing with the heavy plague that has appeared in the desert city Nesairna, the city was fairly big about ten thousand people lived in it but currently, only a little more than half of the population was left as most of them have been taken by the plague.

'Come on throw that infected filth into the hole with the rest and burn it fast, every day we must do this fucking job what if we get infected!?' guards dressed in crimson red armors threw a little girls body into the hole filled with countless other decayed bodies, worms were already starting to crawl out of them.

'Damn it this fucking smell!' one of the two guards started throwing up as he smelled the horrible smell got to his nose.

'Damn it but look at that one that girl would have been a beauty if she weren't infected I don't even mind the bandages on her eyes haha!' the still standing guard looked at the little girl no more than fourteen years old. She had long white hair her body was thin like the paper her face sunken in from malnourishment her body was already losing the natural color.

'That one? You missed out than the captain already had his way with her before she got sick you are unlucky!' the other guard returned after he finished throwing up and broke the smile off his fellow companion.

'Really!? Damn it I am always the last to find out!' he was genuinely disappointed he had truly wished he was able to taste the young fruit.

'Come we need to get the oil to burn the bodies' the two guards slowly walked back from where they came from, they had also failed to notice the corpse of the little girl violently shaking, the girl suddenly opened her eyes there was no light in them to be found only pure darkness like the void itself.

The girl opened her mouth to scream but no voice came out, dark blood was visible in the girl's veins as she continued to scream silently.

Not long after, the girl fell back on to the mountain of decaying corpses the darkness slowly disappeared from her eyes and a crimson color returned to them, a weak voice slipped out of the girls mouth 'Akasha you have suffered worse than me, for your body I thank you I will let you have revenge in return' Connor now Akasha had received all her memories and all the horrors she suffered he had seen, he vowed he would get revenge for her.
