“For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”.

What does it mean to be a “Hero”?
Long, long years of bloodshed and violence while serving in the US Army has quenched the flames of passion and desire to help others in Mark Floyd’s heart, leaving him as an empty shell of the man he used to be; mind haunted by nightmares, body broken by alcohol (and more).
But as long as even one ember remains in a person’s heart, there is still a chance for the passion they held to be rekindled. Mark is about to get that chance, and the choice that he makes may lead him to a new hope, or destruction.

This is my attempt at a fan story. But there will be some weird things that are not in line with FFXIV.
Like lore and stuff... I'm pretty much making this up as I go.
It's basically set in the world meaning locations, spells, items, not really characters and history/lore but I try/attempt to keep to it.

Also I will not be using the old English language they use in the game due to inexperience.
Basically just read as an normal random fantasy story.

Like most stories, they tend to start on a average day. No one really plans on having a near death experience, let alone being told your tongue is now that of a Demon King's by the mentioned freak accident. In the case of the quiet thirty year something old man called Yowamushi Kingu, that's just his luck. All he wanted to do is live a average life as a baker and work for the local supermarket as a regular employee. Fate seems to have found a funny way to make his life a literal hell however.... more>>

Now faced with a power no one could've or would've ever asked for, Yowamushi is subjugated to the demands and whims of Gehenna and is torn between the duties of a Demon King day and night and eventual events that will lead to even more annoying tasks. Able to see all kinds of strange phenomenon now due to his unusual circumstance, he becomes a magnet for attracting unsavory fiends for their own ploys as well as those seeking to destroy him for his obtained power could potentially become a threat to humanity. So much for making cookies. <<less

“The lack of heroic characteristics make life so simple.”... more>>

Twenty years-old Rizen Colfax thinks so.

“To be honest, I don't want to be friends with anyone who needs to possess supernatural abilities to feel special within himself,” he liked to say.

Now not everyone at this point in time when heroism is the career path would agree, but the person concerned couldn't care less.

Rizen occupies himself with the family business: the noble occupation of running a farm.

Extra money also trickled from the upper rooms of his seaside shack that he would rent to mountaineers and vacationers that came occasionally for the surrounding landscape.

And so life for a couple years now have revolved around family business and family.

And the only family he had was Pram, a little sister of twelve years.

Contrary to the older brother, the latter possessed heroic factor but young and untutored as she was, Pram was yet to master her ability.

“Dream simple,” was Rizen's motto for life.

Unbeknownst to him, things were about to take a turn from the common.

The realm of Gaia used to be a peaceful land until the five-nation declared war against each other for resources and land.
Hoping to solve the problem once and for all, the goddess Gaia decided to pass on a prophecy to a random person living in the realm of Gaia.

The scroll was discovered but... Gaia forgot that all living being has one trait that always emerges when the opportunity is given.
Greed.... more>>

The scroll was duplicated and sold to each leader of the five-nation, each nation ceased their war temporarily and poured all their resources researching on the prophecy. All their research has come to fruition after countless efforts.

Exhausted like usual, Jimmy began his hour-long drive from the outskirts of the city to the suburbs. Feeling his eyes betray him, Jimmy turned on the radio in an effort to keep focus. With small woods on both sides of him, Jimmy continued his journey home down the dark, quiet road. Suddenly, the music turned to static once the clock turned to midnight. Jimmy glanced down and began fiddling with the dial out of confusion.... more>>

An impact immediately followed.

"Oh no, please tell me that was not a person!" he prayed as he ran out of his car to inspect what he hit.

His heart stopped when he saw a human-like shape sprawled out on the road behind him. Wasting no time, Jimmy rushed over to check if the person was still alive, only to stop a few feet before reaching it. The figure was not a human. Its skin was nearly as dark as the night around them with thick muscles and gross tendons all over its body. Its face was the most obvious giveaway, with razor-sharp fangs and pitch-black eyes situated on an oddly-shaped skull.

Without hesitation, Jimmy dashed towards his car only to trip over a black crystal about the size of his palm. Feeling a strange attraction to it, Jimmy snatched it and finished his run. Stressed out over what just occurred, Jimmy tightened his grip causing the crystal to shatter into thousands of tiny pieces and get absorbed into his hand.

"What the heck!?"

The startle from the robotic voice that suddenly spoke inside his mind nearly caused Jimmy to veer offroad.
