Aren Vale was never supposed to save the world. He was a relic scavenger from a forgotten frontier village. Poor, ordinary, and destined to spend the rest of his life watching his parents struggle to survive. Then fate chose someone else. The Chosen One. The future hero. The man destined to stand against the coming calamity. And Aren stole his destiny. Now the entire world believes he's humanity's greatest hope. Kings seek his favor. The Church of the Grand Weave protects him. Prophecies bend around him. The problem? He isn't the hero. He isn't talented. He isn't special. And if anyone discovers the truth, he'll be remembered as the greatest criminal in history. But the coming darkness doesn't care who deserves destiny. So while the real Chosen One is forgotten and the world places impossible expectations upon him, Aren has only one option: Become the man he pretended to be. --- What To Expect: Weak To Strong, Competent MC, Character-Driven progression, Kingdom politics, Ancient Mysteries, Heroic Fantasy,
