Dystopia: A Hero's Tale

kagenou_sage
The prophecy spoke of one destined to destroy the world. A child born of the strongest in the entire kingdom. As fate would have it, after dying in an unfortunate encounter with a thug, Arthur was reborn as the son of Aric Sylvia—the legendary knight whose blade stood beside the throne and whose name alone struck fear into the hearts of the wicked. But power breeds fear… And fear gives birth to betrayal. In desperation to prevent the fall of his kingdom, the king—a legend as the people would call him—sought salvation from the one being forsaken by all creation: the Abyssal God. Twisting loyalty into treachery, he lent his cursed mana to his knights and sent them to purge House Sylvia, promising then if fame and power. And in a single, blood-soaked night, the noble line was wiped out. Or so the world believed. Unknown to all, the last heartbeat of the Sylvia family endured. A child overlooked, shielded by the dying breaths of his parents and a silver amulet to seal his fate. The prophecy marked him as the one who would bring ruin… But the system granted him a peculiar class—one meant for saviors. Torn between a destiny shaped by blood and the will to choose his own path, Arthur walks the knife’s edge between salvation and destruction. Will he walk the path of a hero to become the world’s greatest sage… or fulfill its vision of a dystopia and become its final nightmare?

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
