The Hero Should've Known Better - 16 Second Animated Short
Hello. This is my first time on this platform, but I'm a bit of a veteran writer. Looking forward to contributing to this community.

This project had originally been conceived to kick-start me back into writing. Lo and behold, an estimated 50,000-word story swiftly ballooned into 100,000 words in length, and then finally settled at 125,000 words long. I could've easily extended this project to twice its current length, but I did not. This story was primarily a stopgap for my creative process, as I was transitioning from writing fanfiction to fully original stories.

Indeed, this is the first fully original story that I have ever published fully. Not my first original, but the first I've posted online. I also recommend taking a look at the above animated video; it took me about two months to complete. You'll probably enjoy it... Unless you're a professional animator by any means, of which I'm not, as the animation itself isn't too polished.

New chapters will come every other day. In addition to this, I also have a discord server if you wish to join for updates.

I hope you enjoy this story.
