Bigheart’s life as a lowly farm boy takes a predictable turn for the heroic when an ancient prophecy reveals him to be the chosen one who will overthrow the tyrannical Lord Gravedeath and restore peace to the realm. His father’s last words, “it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice,” will have absolutely no bearing on the story, but it seemed like a good thing to say in the moment. With a motley crew that includes a wizard with no powers, identical twins who the author usually forgets to write lines for, and a sarcastic and beautiful female character whose sole purpose is to sexually frustrate him, Bigheart must journey to the outer reaches of the realm to reach the Object of Great Power before Lord Gravedeath does - something that seems unlikely given the stunning incompetence of the latter.
If this sounds like every other adventure story you’ve ever read, then you got the joke and you’re ready to join the adventure. Subscribe to Adventure Story for free to get the next episode sent directly to your inbox!
