DEVIANT - Chapter 327

(Warning!!! This book will handle mature themes like trauma and mental breakdowns)Fate chose him.Betrayal destroyed him.But vengeance drives him.A young man awakens in the body of the Chosen Hero from his favorite novel— only to discover that everything he believed was a lie. The prophecies were fabricated, the legends twisted, and the so-called “hero’s journey” was nothing more than a stage play orchestrated to create a god. He was never destined to save the world; he was destined to be sacrificed.But death does not hold him. When he rises again, it is not as a savior, but as an avenger. With knowledge of the story’s deceit and a system built from his past life as a programmer, he forges his own path— one dedicated not to fulfilling destiny, but to breaking it.Now, in a realm where gods gamble with lives and heroes are bred as lambs for slaughter, he sets his eyes on the one who stole everything from him and climb to the level where gods watch man. And he will stop at nothing— no matter how dark the road— until he destroys the puppeteer pulling the strings.This is not a tale of chosen glory.This is the tale of the forgotten one, who will rise to oppose the gods.(A.N: There will be no harem, no smut, no senseless romance or info dumping.

The world is full of mysteries. Strange, seemingly unexplainable events occur more often than we may realize. A young boy may catch an illness no doctor can explain. An office may catch fire for no apparent reason. And perhaps, someone may die a sudden and unexpected death – their bodies blighted beyond recognition.

It was just like any other day, or so I thought at least. The birds were chirping up on trees, clouds were rolling by the bright blue sky and Elves were dumpster diving in the alleyway.

Okay, one of those three didn’t sound right...

I had a boring life once. Recently though, it has become less boring... to put it one way.

Finding a random Elf in the dumpster? Heh, must be a Monday.

A normal person would have walked by. A normal person would have ignored it.

I must be a pretty weird guy, then.

Now I have this Elf swearing her allegiance to me. What’s next, vampires?
