Jay is done. Burned out, overworked, and stuck in a life that never felt like his. Then one bad night and a split-second decision changed everything. This is a story about choices, consequences, and carving out your place in a world full of gods, monsters, and impossible odds. Jay isn't the chosen one. He's not even trying to be. He just wants one thing: To live a life that's finally his. Author's Note: I wrote this on a whim while I was playing through Valmar's CYOA. Nothing too planned or polished, just something that came to me in the moment. Feedback is the fuel here. So drop a comment, even if it's just a quick thought.
