A millennium ago, the God of Heaven lost to the malevolent pagan gods. However, God sent down an angel before his death, whom mated with a human, and thus the tradition of the Hero was born. Every generation, a Chosen One from the lineage is born to protect the world from the malevolent gods and demons.
It's the year 2017
THUNDER AND RAIN
You stood over your father's death bed, watching him cough as the sands of time for him ran low.
He let out a nasally, dry cough and signaled for you to approach.
Igor: "My child, come here. I told you that one day I'd leave you to become a spirit and lead you in to the city. I'm sorry, my child, but that time has come...
You will become The Chosen One, just as I was. It’s a heavy burden, but you have the strength within you. The world needs you now more than ever.
You will learn. The weapon you choose will grant you incredible power, but it’s not just the weapon that makes you strong. You must train hard and seek allies. You won’t face the gods alone.
You are more than just you. The spirit of the previous Chosen Ones will guide you, even if some of them wish for your failure. Listen closely, for their wisdom may save your life. But remember, not all spirits are kind. Mistakes are part of the journey. Embrace them, learn from them. The true measure of a hero is not the absence of failure, but the courage to rise after each fall. You may only be able to face three gods at once, but you will find ways to outsmart them."
He'd let out his final breath...
But that was years ago.
Now, you're older. At 16, you decide that it's time to say goodbye to your village. You visit your father’s grave for the final time, pick up his old gear, and head out to the plains to reach Azerath, the capital kingdom of the world.
But will you carry on the tradition of defending the world? Or will you break this cursed world? Will you succumb to the constant death? Or will you embrace it entirely? Or maybe you're a family person.
It's up to you, hero!
