You never meant to end up in the spotlight. A runaway with a battered bass and lyrics no one wanted to hear, you got swept into the world of Kabbage Boy-the band that chewed you up and caged you in its shallow fame.
Being the lead singer's partner initially felt like safety... until it didn't.
Then came the night of the "accident." Twisted metal, crashing lights, and a certain roadie trying to save a stage that was doomed to fall. When you opened your eyes again, you weren't in the world you once knew-
but a world of fire, steel, and blood.
A world where Ormagöden's chosen rise to fight. And somehow, you were one of them.
But even chosen heroes have strings that can break.
Author's Note: Yes, this is a Brütal Legend fanfiction. No, this cover is not official art; I designed it to look similar but not identical to the official Brütal Legend game cover. Now, was I originally going to upload this? Absolutely not. However, as I'm sure you all know, Ozzy Osbourne has passed away. I decided to make this fic as my official tribute to the Prince Of Darkness, as I regrettably wasn't able to complete the game before he passed, as he has a cameo in the game. Normally, I don't do this. But I feel this is a good time to make an exception. So, 'Second String' is dedicated to someone I'm sure we all hold dear to us, Ozzy Osbourne. My heart goes out to his family and friends, and I mean to write this story with the utmost respect and care for his image.
Also, this story does contain some canon divergence, particularly around the black sea of Tears arc. I revised a few plot points/events to better align with the story's direction.
