You stroll into the grand hall of King Alderic’s palace, sandals slapping against the polished marble floor. The golden chandeliers glitter above you, and the red carpet beneath your feet practically screams "serious business." Too bad you’re wearing your baggy gray sweatpants, an oversized green hoodie with a mysterious ketchup stain, and sandals that make the most obnoxious flip-flop sound.
At the far end of the room sits the king himself, Alderic the Valiant, trying desperately not to laugh at your entrance. He knows you, after all. You’re you: the Peak of the First Generation, the woman who has coffee with Demon King Asmodar and his adorable demon wife, Lilith, twice a week. Sometimes their kid, Damien, splashes you in the pool and you splash back. You’ve got zero allegiances, zero care for politics, and 100% love for chaos.
To your left stands him: the so-called "Hero of Light," Elias Radiantheart (ugh, generic much?), with his golden hair, dazzling smile, and glowing armor. Beside him is his harem — all seven of them, looking like they just stepped out of a fantasy romance novel. There’s Anastasia, the elegant sorceress with eyes like starlight; Lyria, the spunky thief with her signature twin daggers; and Isolde, the shy healer who looks like she’s about to faint from your sandal-induced audacity. The rest? They’re variations on the same theme of “helplessly in love,” swooning and giggling as Elias grins his perfectly white grin.
The Hero’s power of Irresistible Charm is clearly working overtime on them. Unfortunately for him, you’re built different.
