The Forever Question - Kasvand, Tonis F. V.

. .

Résumé :
When he awakens, he is standing naked, holding a sword adorned in red goo, his insides burning. Five dismembered bodies crowd his feet. He wonders if this is normal as he struggles to remember who he is. Adopting the name DuHero, he innocently brings joy, harm, and death to hundreds of thousands of creatures and uncountable extinction to the servants of the Ovulum Empire in the land of Forever. As a result of his unorthodox thinking and natural innocence, DuHero becomes revered by a dominant culture of violent, facetious jokers; loved by a kingdom of female, man-hating, pacifist fighters; and hunted by a powerful hybrid race of greedy idiots. Flagrot the Goon befriends DuHero to gain access to secrets the Goon anticipates will give him power over the other denizens of Forever. The other races suspect a shift in power and mobilize against him. DuHero, a lost man, tries to adapt to a land filled with contradiction, corruption, and craziness. His contributions lead to catastrophic changes to Forever's landscape. His Gooniness, along with his perceived innocence, brings people to rethink beliefs, motivates their ambitions, and causes death and destruction far beyond what any power monger has created in the past.
