[ WP ] You are a `` hero '' in a fantasy world , but as you `` adventure '' , you are slowly realizing YOU are the antagonist .

I walked a long dirt road back to a town I had visited just 3 weeks ago. As I approached the gate I was smiling, remembering what I had done here. Under orders of the king I had gone to a nearby cave and slew a horde of goblins. The king paid me handsomely, but the real reward was fighting for the people of this great kingdom. 
 
 I knocked on the gate, but there was no answer. I waited a moment and then knocked again. Still nothing. I tried to pull open the door, and surprisingly it opened with no resistance. No locks? This seemed odd. My smile faded as I became curious about the situation that we now faced. 
 
 The town seemed empty. As it was the late in the afternoon, this seemed very odd. Maybe there was a festival going on. Though that would n't explain why the gate's door was left unlocked. Determined to solve this mystery, I thought to confront the king and asked what was going on. 
 
 The palace was also eerily silent. It almost seemed as if the entire town had just left all at once. The first sign of life was in the throne room. Or maybe `` sign of life'' was the wrong thing to call it. There was an ornately robed skeleton sitting on the throne, wearing the king's crown. Was it the king's skeleton? Perhaps. But how had the king died? 
 
 The sun set, and simultaneously the skeleton seemed to come to life, blue flames filling out the bones. He turned his `` eyes'' to me. `` Ah. You have returned. How do you feel about the changes we've made?'' 
 
 I was horrified. So the king was not dead? Suddenly skeleton soldiers entered the room and took to their stations. Though they had no skin, I could tell that they were just waking up. `` What happened here? What killed you all?'' 
 
 The king laughed. `` Why, you did great warrior. Or at least, you helped us to achieve this goal. You see, I had been trying for years to unearth the secret to immortality, the lich's relic. But far too long there were monsters guarding it. After you dispatched those goblins so easily, I quickly took the power and bestowed its gift upon the entire village. Soon, we will convert the kingdom. Huzzah for the Hero of Legend!'' 
 
 `` Huzzah!'' cried the skeleton army raising their spears in unison. They moved to surround me. Anxious about fighting these monsters I pulled out my sword, but the closest skeleton grabbed my wrist and raised it for the crowd. `` Huzzah!'' they cried once again. They lifted me and set me in a highly decorated chair. 
 
 Once I was settled they lifted the chair. They walked me out of the palace and then I saw the population of the town. As soon as their skeletal bodies noticed me, they would bow. I heard many mutterings about heroes and legends but I still could n't get the surprised scowl off of my face. I did this to them. I made an entire village into an undead menace. 
 
 And they revered me.
