I awoke on a meadow. The first thing I remember is the smell of grass and dirt and the feeling of the warm summer breeze washing over me. Then, I heard a voice. “Fay, take on my name, Hopeflyte, and serve me well. You will never again be in need of anything that is not provided to you.”
That was then.
Today I still serve my deity loyally. I slay mosters in her name, heed her word and, most importantly, I am most happy.
But I ask myself, why do I not age? Was I a normal person before I became a heroine? Why would I not remember? To find out is my real quest.

My smile is slowly fading away. I can feel myself slowly giving in to the darkness. They say darkness lurks in every heart. I guess this proves it.
The once most righteous heroine in Godville is losing herself to the darkness in her heart. I should’ve predicted this. My godess should’ve predicted this. Yet she didn’t.
Omnipotent One, why are you not fighting for my happiness anymore? Have I wronged you? Why must you punish me?
I think I am starting to see how it really is.
In my dreams, I remember.

I have secretly joined the “Harvest Moon” guild. Yes, secretly, because it turns out that my goddess is not omniscient. Either that or she just doesn’t care.
The guild’s members are cruel. But, weirdly enough, they are growing on me, and I am warming up to them. Apparently they know a thing or two about how to obtain the knowledge of ones past. Intriguing.
The future seems clear to me.

Power. To seek the knowledge now forbidden to me, all I need is power. Pure, unmistakable power. Power to shake the heavens and make the earth tremble!
Because once I have power, I can overthrow the gods, kill them all, take their knowledge and find out what they hide from me!
Especially you, Hopeflyte.

My progress is slowing to a near halt. I am not becoming stronger as fast as I once did. If this keeps up, Scrat will overtake me.
To become better I need a way to get more Monstrite faster. In other words, I need to slaughter monsters more quickly. But to do that, I would need to be stronger. I’m stuck in a loop.
After consulting my guildmates about this problem they said that there is no way around that. But if I learned one thing from my life as a heroine, it is the fact that nothing is impossible. May the Great Random be on my side.
My hope is fading.

Yeah, no, I stopped caring. I’ll continue doing what my goddess says, but only because it puts money in my pockets and alcoholic beverages in my stomach. I’ve finished the temple to “honor” Hopeflyte, so nothing stands in my way of doing “hero” business. I will keep on going into dungeons with my guildmates; it’s about the only things that’s fun these days, since my quests are becoming repetitive. I keep finding logs of wood here and there. Wonder what those are for.
Life goes on.
