The fire was spreading across the woods and the pungent smell of burning flesh was prominent as the remnants of his memory flashed before his eyes. His mother screaming, his father fighting the flames to reach his wife and his sisters' blood curdling screams as the fire burnt the beautiful palace down to ashes.
And he woke up.

Swallowing the urge to vomit, I stepped over his body, reminding myself that the dead man was going to kill me if he wasn't dead. "Go home." The figure demanded in a low voice that echoed from the walls of the alley. I never believed in the stories about tall, dark-aura, scary men that roamed dark alleys like their home. The ones that wouldn't bat an eye at killing someone in order to get what they wanted. The ones who ran the most dangerous organizations, yet never got caught by the government security. I never believed that, it all seemed like a fantasy. That was, until it became my reality.Complete

Broken and enraged, he realizes that kindness and passivity cannot shield him from the world's malice. He laughs bitterly at his own naivety for believing that living away from the world would bring him peace. Determined never to lose what he holds dear again, he resolves to take control of his fate. Vengeance ignites within him as he embarks on a journey to rise above all. He will crush those who stand in his way, bend the world to his will, and build a future where no one can take from him again. No kings, no gods, and not even fate will decide his path.
