Sacrificial Hero

"Summoned, Armed, Expendable" Dragged from another world by a kingdom that calls it destiny, you awaken as a “hero” in a land already planning your funeral. Aurevallis and its rivals don’t risk their own champions—they summon outsiders, crown them with borrowed power, and send them where survival is optional. Every victory keeps the world turning. Every truth is buried. As monsters fall and borders burn, you begin to see the pattern: heroes before you, erased from history; allies who never stand where you stand; rulers who smile while tightening the leash. Power has limits—and breaking them demands sacrifice no one warns you about. Four kingdoms circle the same lie. One offers brutal honesty. The others offer praise. In a world that survives by spending strangers, you must decide what kind of hero you’ll be: the one they planned for… or the one that breaks the cycle. Sacrificial Hero is a dark fantasy story about exploitation, choice, and the cost of being “chosen.”
