Chapter 1: The Beginning.

  Part 1: His World.

  “Eww look at him he’s so dirty!”

  “Why do people like him still exist”

  “Someone should just end his misery!”

  Hate

  “Pathetic, weaklings should just die”

  Anger

  “Send him to a dungeon at least he would be useful their”

  Pain

  Jin felt all those, ridiculed and bullied, his weak body and

  Poor heritage gave him all the disadvantages in a world

  Where power meant everything. By doing odd jobs like

  Being bait during a robbery and money being given to

  Him out of pity, Jin barely got through a day.

  Rain poured down, the mud roads grew puddles and the sky

  Became dark. Jin opened the creaky wooden door to his

  House, with aged holes that were never patched. His thatch

  Roof with gaps letting rain In. He put his back against a wall

  And slowly fell down. Water navigating its way down his

  Cheek. His torn clothes was used as a cloth to wipe his face

  And his muddy shorts barely gave him any protection

  Against the rough floor. With his face berried into his arms.. he fell asleep.

  Man 1”We need someone to check it out first! It’s too dangerous, we can’t

  Lose anyone.”

  Man 2” I agree, losing men would be a huge loss to our small village”

  Man 3”Oh.. I know someone who can go into their.. as bait”

  Man 1”Who?... Spit it out already!”

  Man 3”Well it’s obviously the poor boy, the one who lives just outside

  The area.”

  Man 2”Oh.. yes.. great idea. We get him in the morning.”

  Man 1 and 3 agreed with this devious plan.

  Part 2: New People

  Loud banning on the door could be heard, men grunting and shouting.

  There was no respect in any of their words. Saying things like ‘

  You useless bog come here and open the door’ to thing such as

  ‘You bastard hurry up’. . After a few minutes of

  Shouting, Jin woke up, slowly crawled for bit then stood up and started

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Walking. He got to the door and opened it, slowly, taking in the view from

  The holes.

  With no time to react he was grabbed and lifted.

  Man 1”You useless cunt.. how long does it take to open a bloody door”

  Man 2” Relax Ran he has nothing, not even education to open a door”

  Two of three men burst out in laughter. Ran slowly walked towards

  A carriage and threw Jin onto it-without holding his power back.

  The one in front, on the horse had a rather big figure, with broad shoulders

  And big arms and patchy leather armour, he led the carriage.

  Ran the one who lifted him wasn’t as big

  His crimson spiked hair was something new to Jin. He carried two short

  Swords and wore leather armour. Finally, the man to his left was

  Surprisingly silent. His hair was jet black and his arms were rather thin,

  He stared at the sky holding onto his sharp shiny sword.

  After a few hours of travelling they arrived at an area unknown to Jin. Trees that

  Surrounded the area stood tall, watching over the mortals that came and left.

  The grass was golden and there were no signs of humans. They walked.. and walked

  Until Jin spoke up”Where are you taking me..? You.. you ..your n.. n ..not going to

  K..k..kill me are you?”

  With no response from the other two, Ran slapped his head and replied”Shut up,

  Your in no place to talk, just carry on walking and do as we say!”

  Man 2” Ran calm down. If you get too loud it will get dangerous.”

  “My bad Kei” Ran said his voice now a lot quieter. Jin has learnt the name of

  The silent one and, for no reason, trusted him.

  A voice, a lot more deeper, said” we’ve arrived”

  Kei and Ran nodded and stopped for a hot second.

  Kei approached Jin and got on a knee and said”I’m sorry to do this,

  But go down those stairs, please, go on your own without making a fuss or else

  It won’t end good for you”

  “Oh shut it. Your too kind Kei, that’s your problem, just send him in” Ran’s

  Rather annoying voice could be heard from his left.

  With no other option Jin slowly began to go down the stairs, he was used to

  Odd jobs but this…. This was something new. Luckily, there were torches

  On the walls. The place wasn’t anything fancy, the walls was made of stone

  With no design and the stairs had cracks.

  After what seemed like years, Jin reached the bottom. He walked, only for a few

  Seconds, and what he heard and saw.. was truly..

  Terrifying

  Part 3: The Dungeon

  *pant* *pant*

  Roars could be heard from the distant. He ran and ran up the stairs faster then ever

  His breathing became heavy and his body was about to collapse. He saw the light

  His face smeared with a look of relief and achievement.

  “I made it.. *pant* I did it.. *sigh* I made it out”

  He fell on his arse and looked up, only to see Rans rather dull expression

  “What the hell happened..?” His voice seemed somewhat worried and was

  Something new to him.

  “Slow down Ran let catch his breath” the voice which for some reason brought

  Peace to his mind said.

  “We’ll let you sleep, for the night, but by morning we expect answers.” Said the grumpy

  One of the three, his deep voice still frightening for someone of Jin’s age.

  Time went by and the sun had rose, all of them drank water and even offered Jin some.

  Their kind actions seemed to have gained the na?ve Jin’s trust

  . “Grumpy one is missing” Jin said, accidentally out loud.

  “Hahaha, he’s gone to get us food and his name is Darius not grumpy one

  Haha.” Kei laughed and seemed to be in a happy mood.

  “We’ll eat then you will tell us what happened.” Ran who was silent

  Until then said.

  After around half n hour Darius had returned. With a deer on his shoulder

  He came back and said”Now, boy, tell us what happened”

  Jin explained as they ate how the moment he reached the bottom he was greeted by

  Blue wolves with fangs sharper than Kei’s sword. Even though he felt

  Somewhat embarrassed, he also said how he ran immediately after seeing

  Them.

  Darius grunted”A few pups scared you. Here take this. Now go back and

  Fight them.. where’s your dignity as a man?”

  Jin’s expression was toned down. ‘Do I really have to go down again..?’

  Jin thought.

  With the dagger given to him from Darius he took a step down, this then

  Became a slow walk down the same stairs.

  What felt like another eternity, Jin arrived at the bottom, this time prepared

  Or so he thought. Even with a dagger he was all bark and no bite. He was

  Never taught how to fight. Once he came to realisation he stepped back.

  But at that exact moment, Darius voice spoke in is head. ‘Where’s your

  Dignity as a man?’. Jin now angry brainlessly charged at the two

  Blue wolves. Only to be knocked back and onto the floor. He stared at

  The snake like yellow eyes of the beasts, Jin knew this feeling all too well

  Fear

  That’s what he felt. The feeling of being useless and pathetic followed

  After the Fear. With no thought behind his next move, he held his

  Dagger with both hands and leaped towards the closer wolf

  However, he was yet again met with despair. But for some reason he

  Hadn’t given up. Relentlessly he got back up and charged.

  Again and again. But, his remarkable stamina out did the beasts. Their

  Tired expression gave Jin hope. He ran forward, once again, leaped

  Towards the closer wolf. This time, there was connection. His dagger

  Had pierced the wolf’s skull, it’s blood spilled on the floor and dyed Jin’s

  Clothes red. Taking a step back, the other wolf seemed to be worried.

  However Jin was met with happiness, relief. He stopped for a second

  Then turned and glared at the other wolf and stormed towards it.

  With a stab to it’s side the beast fell. Jin continued to stab it. Like a mad

  Man only after minutes had he realised what he’s done.

  He fell down and took a deep breath.

  He then continued after around half n hour. He walked and walked…..
