Everyone thinks you saved the world three years ago. It was all a lie. The truth is the "dark lord" you and your friends supposedly slew never existed; you used magical illusions to fake a prophecy. But now as you relax into a life of fame and luxury the omens from your false prophecy are happening again and this time you had nothing to do with it.

"Heroes of Myth" is a 560000-word interactive novel by Abigail C. Trevor where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based without graphics or sound effects and fueled by the vast unstoppable power of your imagination.

Naturally everyone expects you to save the world again but you're just an illusionist and your friends have scattered to the winds. Will you become the hero all the songs say you are or find new ways to fool them all again? How far will you go to protect your friends' secrets--or are there stronger alliances to be made by betraying their trust?

This is the trouble with pretending you're a hero: occasionally you have to become one. Craft clever illusions charm suspicious royals and face shadowy demons from beyond your realm. In the end is the story you told worth more to you or to the legions of people who believed it?
