The protagonist is YOU ...
The town of Leyden lies in an unfortunate location on the map between two warring kingdoms. The townspeople have suffered the passage of numerous military campaigns which have swept through the valley over the course of many years. In a final desperate act, the town elders hired an archmage to summon a champion who would have the power to push back the invaders. The archmage conducted the ritual summoning, and the village elders waited expectantly for a powerful entity to appear.
Meanwhile I was sitting at my computer, and a funny feeling came over me ...
What came through the summoning portal was a simple person dressed in funny (yet comfortable) clothes, and who exhibited no special powers. The faces of the townsfolk betrayed their acute disappointment, for certainly this summoning brought neither Deva nor Demon. The archmage just laughed as she departed, saying "Lo, the fate of your little town is linked to much larger happenings in this realm, and so I have brought a means of salvation for you and many others. But do not think this power comes quickly or easily, for there will be many travails before your fate is revealed."
