Once there was a boy. The boy lived in a small suburban town. It doesn't
matter which town; it could be any town. It could be you town. The boy
went to school, hung out with his friends, skateboarded, played basketball.
He was relatively normal--he played a lot of video games, RPG stuff.
But sometimes, late at night, when the boy couldn't get to sleep, he would
wonder. He would wonder about life, about what would happen to him, about
purposes. He went through high school, college. He was altogether a
normal person. He graduated from a state college, married the girl he'd
taken to the prom, settled down in a suburb with a normal job in a office
in the city. He retired at sixty-five, and lived several more long years,
dying at the age of seventy-eight. Throughout this life, he walked the
path society had left for him--your typical office worker bee, a mindless
drone. In all his life he never handled a sword or shield, he never
touched a bow, he not once slew anything. But every once in a while,
staying up at night, he would wish he had. He would wish just once for a
chance at greatness. He led a normal life, but he kept a warrior's dreams
hidden away in his heart. So when he died, this typical man did not go to
any of the normal afterlives.
Because of his dreams, the man was one of the Warrior Souls.
