The hero, who has strayed from the right path
For the Epic Beginnings Challenge

God wanted to create a hero. A powerful creature, that's not only able to surpass the others with its physique, but it also prevails in mind, something, that's not only invincible on the outside, but also strong on the inside.

God was generous. He wanted to give the hero everything. He granted him with intellect, knowledge and empathy, and gifted him with free will to use these virtues whenever he felt like they were needed.
He blessed the hero with courage, because he wanted him not to be afraid, but overcome the fears he had.
At first everything seemed to be working. The hero helped others and did great things using the features that were given to him. He lived as God taught him, and God was proud of his creation.

But soon things turned to the opposite. The hero was aware of his power and realized that if he had looked for opponents and challenged them to compete against him, it would've been so much more fun, than always doing the right thing.
He did so, and like a monster he left cities burn and people die without even noticing it.

God saw it all, and couldn't understand what went wrong. He tried to find the mistake and correct it, he never gave up hope, but the hero turned away from his own creator, and continued his depraved lifestyle. He no longer listened to God, only his own thoughts and beliefs mattered to him.
God wanted to create a hero. But the hero became a villain...
