Chapter 1

”huuuuuuuuf”

A middle-aged man was laying down on the cold concrete ground of a huge stadium, his lower half absolutely shredded, his eyes full of tears as he watched his fellow comrades get devoured by several hideous beasts.

”Why....”

he didn't know why they chose him and his comrades, they were nothing but a group of wandering mercenaries in the lower-Helios realm.

he leaned his head slightly, as his life was about to end, he saw her, he didn't know why but she seemed oddly familiar to him.

the more he looked at her, the more fury started building up inside him, he didn't know why, but his sixth sense, something's that he honed over the years, kept focusing on her existence as if telling him that she was the one responsible for his current situation.

six hours ago, the lone wolves, his group were hunting monsters in one of the areas inhabited by kobolds in the lower-Helios realm, when they were all teleported to this huge stadium.

as he took in the voices of the excited crowd, Link fell to despair.

His vision slowly darkening, he registered the figure of the blond, golden-eyed women.

As he approached his last moment's the women actually made eye contact with him and smiled.

that was the last thing he saw before his vision went dark.

Link could feel himself falling deep into the abyss, losing a piece of himself every time a hand stretched from the darkness, to grab ahold of him.

The soul that was Link, slowly shrank in size, every time he lost a part of himself, cut off.

The pain of his soul being cut by the claws of the abyss, would make a normal person go insane from just a few scratches, but somehow, Link held on, but it had nothing to do with his willpower.
