The Hero's Journey

by RegalCarnage19

The path of an adventurer is not an easy one, filled with dangers around every corner, evil plots to uncover, villans to foil, damsels to fight and beasts to save. This is the story of a wandering hero! "Wait a minute... I'm sorry? Could you kindly repeat that last bit again!" (Rated M for language, lemons, and general mayhem)

1. Prelude

Hello!

So clearly this is not an actual chapter but don't despair for there is an actual chapter right after this! I just wanted to take a moment to explain some stuff about this story to set expectations and such so please if you would just bear with me for a moment.

So this story is actually a reimagining of my second story "Trials of Paradise" which you don't need to read to understand this story but you can if you'd like. The reason I mention this is because two very important themes from that story carried over here into this one and you'd probably like to know about them ahead of time.

For one, a key theme of Trials was that the pairs were NarutoxMonster Girls. This carries over and it is the core reason for things such as the setting and background to this fic so if that is not your cup of tea I totally understand that there are no hard feelings!

Two, Trials was a smut/lemon heavy fic and some of that will also carry over here as well. Trials did have a lemon every chapter but this story won't since I will be adding a lot more plot stuff than in my old story. However, there will be a fair amount of lemons and general perversion in this fic so if that is a turn off for you then once again it is understandable and there are no hard feelings about it.

With those out of the way here are just some minor things to keep in mind:

1. This is a side story of mine so I can't really say when or how often it will get updated but I do plan to work on it when I can. If I can't for some reason or the fic gets canceled I will make an announcement.

2. The author's notes at the bottom of a chapter tend to be filled with answers to questions from either previous chapters or questions I anticipate receiving so please check there before you ask because I might have answered it! Also if you have a question don't ask it through a guest review because I can't reply to those.

They also sometimes contain questions in regards to choices you can help make in regards to where the story goes so check from time to time and see if anything is going on there.

3. Lastly, criticism is fine just keep it respectful, I'm never going to attack someone for a different opinion and I'm open to trying to improve.

Anyway, that is it so I hope you all enjoy the fic and I look forward to writing more for you in the future!
