The God Who Bled

Let’s go! Here's the story description followed by Chapter 1, crafted to instantly hook readers with cinematic flair, humor, and that underdog fire. We’re setting the tone for a hit. --- Title (working): Godless: Warbound --- Story Description: What if you were the only person born without a god? In a world where every human is bound to a Minor Deity at birth—be it a god of strategy, flame, cats, or even bad puns—Kairo Venn was born godless. That makes him a glitch in the system. A reject. A walking error in the divine order. While others gain powers, blessings, and even entrance into elite god-bonded academies, Kairo's stuck being average in a world that doesn’t reward average. Until a freak accident during a school trip unlocks a sealed divine relic—and forcibly binds him to Zerith, the long-lost War God who’s been locked away for centuries due to "extreme workplace violence." Now, Kairo is tethered to a disgraced deity who can’t use his own powers… unless Kairo earns them. Together, they’ll punch through divine red tape, outwit god-bonded elites, and rise from godless dropout to divine anomaly. Because when the system says you're nothing… you either accept it—or break it. ---
