The Hero Who Failed, Now Rising to Save the World Once More

The Hero Who Failed, Now Rising to Save the World Once More Once upon a time, there was a hero who was totally supposed to save the world. Let's call him Jake. Jake had all the qualities of a legendary hero: strength, courage, and—most importantly—an extremely dramatic backstory. He was the chosen one (because who doesn't love a good prophecy?), the one destined to defeat an ancient evil and save the world. Spoiler alert: it didn’t exactly go as planned. The world didn't end, but it came really close. Jake's first attempt? A massive flop. Picture this: the hero, sword raised high, yelling an epic battle cry, only to trip over his own boots, faceplant into a puddle of mud, and miss the evil overlord by about three feet. Yeah, not his finest moment. The overlord, meanwhile, was too busy laughing to even fight back. Not exactly the outcome anyone expected from the chosen one.
