The World Eater has tricked you. When you had supposedly killed him, and took his soul, he had teleported himself to a new world and took you with him. You, thinking the great evil dead, set off towards a small town on the horizon, hating the introduction I made you.
(I am awful at titles and descriptions. If your wondering, the name, race, and fighting style is never set in stone. Though, because there are some fighting scenes, [mage attacks are in brackets], {and warrior attacks in these things}. Unfortunately, I couldn't make a decent story without having a base alignment, so Dovahkiin is a middle-of-the-road kind of guy. On an unrelated note, please be constructive in your criticism)
