The wolf of winter place

Ch- zero

Nev: "Hey, Toinic

Toinic: "yes, sir? Is there something you need?"

Nev: "Actually, yes. You're fired.
         From today onwards, you don't need to show up here anymore."

Toinic: "What? Why, sir? Did I do something wrong

Nev: "You Know exactly what you have did. You had the nerve to fall for the young master girl! But that's not all. Let me give you some more interesting news: your girlfriend, Rita... she's now with the Yong master".

Toinic: "what..... What do you mean by that?"

Nev: (smirking) "Oh, you didn't know? While you've been busy running around for us the young master has been getting close to your Rita. Seems she's taken quite a liking to him, too I'd say they're.. inseparable now

Toinic:( shocked) "No.... that can't be true! Rita would never —"

Nev: "would never what?  Betray you? Don't be naive, Toinic. She knows  what's best for her. Wealth, power... She couldn't resist. And you? You're just a servent. Do you really think she choose you over the young master?"

Toinic: (furious) "You're Lying! Rita wouldn't do that to me!"

Nev: "Believe what you want, but it doesn't change anything. Your time here is done. And as for Rita... Well she's already made her choice."

Toinic: (desperate) "I need to talk to her! Where is she?!"

Nev: (chuckling) "Oh, I wouldn’t bother. She’s with the young master now. Probably at his estate, enjoying her new life. You’ll just embarrass yourself even more if you go after her."

Toinic: (clenching his fists) "I won’t just stand here and let this happen. I’ll find her. I’ll make her see the truth!"

Nev: "Hmph, do what you want. But don’t expect any sympathy. You were just a pawn in the game, Toinic, and now you’re no longer useful."

Toinic: (eyes burning with determination) "I’ll get to the bottom of this. I’ll find out the truth, no matter what it takes!"

Nev: (smirking) "Good luck with that. But remember—sometimes, the truth is more painful than you can handle."

Toinic: (arriving at the estate, out of breath) I have to know the truth...

He storms into the estate, ignoring the servants trying to stop him. His eyes burn with a mix of anger and desperation. Finally, he finds Rita sitting in the lavish garden, laughing with the young master.

Toinic: "Rita!"

Rita turns, startled, as her expression shifts from surprise to discomfort.

Rita: "Toinic... what are you doing here?"

Toinic: (voice trembling) "I came to hear it from you. Is it true? Have you been with him this whole time?"

Rita: (sighing, avoiding his gaze) "I... I didn’t mean for you to find out like this, but... yes. It’s true."

Toinic: (his heart sinking) "How could you? After everything we’ve been through?"

Rita: (her voice cold now) "I couldn’t live like that anymore, Toinic. The struggle, the uncertainty... with the young master, I have everything I could ever want. You don’t understand, I had no choice."

Toinic: "No choice? You had a choice to stay with me! How could you throw everything away for money and power?"

The young master, who had been watching silently, steps forward with a smug grin.

Young Master: "She made the right choice. Face it, Toinic. You were never good enough for her. She deserves more than what you could ever offer."

Toinic: (furious) "You! You poisoned her mind against me!"

Young Master: (laughing) "Poisoned? Please. She came to me willingly. And now, she’s mine."

Toinic, overwhelmed with emotion, rushes toward the young master, fists clenched. But before he can land a blow, the young master’s guards seize him, forcing him to his knees.

Young Master: "Did you really think you could touch me, you lowly servant? You’ve always been beneath me, and now... you’ll pay for your insolence."

The guards begin beating Toinic as Rita looks away, unable to meet his eyes. The pain of betrayal cuts deeper than the physical blows. Blood trickles from Toinic’s lip, but his eyes never leave Rita’s.

Toinic: (whispering through gritted teeth) "I loved you..."

The young master signals the guards to stop and sneers down at him.

Young Master: "Love? What a pathetic concept. You’ve lost everything, Toinic. Now, leave. Crawl back to whatever hole you came from."

Toinic staggers to his feet, bruised and broken, both physically and emotionally. He stumbles out of the estate, his mind spinning, heart shattered. He feels numb as he walks aimlessly down the street, replaying everything in his head.

The sounds of the world around him blur as he crosses a busy street without noticing. Suddenly, the blare of a car horn jolts him back to reality—too late.

Screech!

A car slams into him. The impact sends Toinic crashing to the pavement. Everything fades to black.

When Toinic opens his eyes, the world is different. The pain is gone, and the air feels strange—thicker, charged with energy. As he slowly sits up, he realizes he’s not on the street anymore. He’s in a forest, surrounded by towering, glowing trees, the sky a deep shade of purple.

Toinic: (confused) "Where... where am I?"

A strange voice echoes in the distance. Creatures unlike anything he’s ever seen move through the trees. His heart races as he tries to comprehend his new reality.

???: "Welcome, traveler. You have entered the world of Valarys."

Toinic turns to see a figure cloaked in light standing before him.

Toinic: "What... what is this place?"

???: "A new beginning. A world where fate has brought you. Here, you will find your true strength... if you can survive."

Toinic’s journey has just begun in this mysterious world, where he will discover powers beyond his imagination and face challenges he never could have dreamed of.
