The Underworld

The Underworld. The unofficial name we call this hell of a city, a city deserving of that title. It's a city full of scum, thieves, murderers, gangs, anything deemed as illegal or immoral is all well and good here. I'm no different in a way. I fight to survive, kill to put food on the table, pull any trick in the book to ensure my success. I don't have any choice in that. When the city you live in pens you in like a caged animal with walls so high they could blot out the sun, you'd do anything to get out.

Unfortunately, your only way of escape is if you buy yourself out. An extortionate amount that is nigh impossible to afford alone but it's a risk worth taking. What else do we have to lose? We're nothing to them after all, the crime families that rule over us, who can simply crush us beneath their feet. That's no life at all. I refuse to live that way. I refuse to be manipulated then simply cast aside. I refuse to lose the only family I have left, and if someone dares to stand in the way of my freedom, they will live to regret it.
