【Beginning】
Samle hid himself under a bed until he secured the surrounding. Getting out of the hideout, he held the bodies of his wife and son tight for a while and closed their eyes. Despite the desire of bringing them home, he couldn’t risk to be spotted by the villagers and get himself killed.
Samle: “My life is worthless, but I gotta destroy this village before I die!”
Samle had lost his survival will at the moment when his family perished. The only thing fueling him up was hatred. As there were fading lights heading towards the house, Samle decided to take a detour to the woods nearby.
Female Villager: He’s not in the village. Maybe he’s in the woods!
Villager: We can’t let him live. He will take vengeance on us!
Samle ran for his life and never looked back. He kept running until a hot stream was revoked from his chest. He felt a burning heat at his throat while coughing fiercely, spitting out hot liquid. At this moment, his pace became staggering and his vision blurred. Next second, Samle tripped himself to falling down the slope until he hit a huge rock.
Samle: The poison...So this is it? All I want is helping people...Why did I end up like this?
???: ‘Cause you’re a fool.
Samle: ……Who’s this?
???: Is this the ending you want, letting them take your life away?
Samle: ...No, I don’t!
【End】
Dawn broke; the first light drew a crimson on the sky like some deep scratches. Meanwhile, Samle regained his consciousness, finding himself covered in blood. Even the grass where he laid on was all stained red. The bloodstain stopped in front of a shadow.
Raising his head, Samle’s gaze met a green hair man. Despite the handsome face the man had, he had a bewitching charm that didn’t belong to any human being. With his confident smile, anyone could tell that this green hair man wasn’t just a somebody.
Samle: Where...where am I? And who are you?
???: Don’t you remember? Last night you were hunted down by the villagers. They murdered your family and you almost died of poisoning.
Samle: ...So it wasn’t a dream...Why did you save me?
???: ‘Cause you said you didn’t want to die, so I brought you back to life. Oh, right. I’m Belial.
Samle: My family...They’re still in the village…
Belial: They’re burnt into ashes already. Who would be that kind to save the bodies for you?
Samle: Wh-what...Unforgivable! I’ll kill them all! No, they can’t die so easily!
Driven by hatred, Samle bit his lip to bleed. The bleeding look made him look like an ominous reaper. Looking at Samle, Belial smiled and snapped his fingers.
Belial: I’ll help you. Only if you agree to work for me.
Belial reached his hand out at Samle, implying a handshake to make a deal. At this moment, parents’ teachings made Samle hesitate; but soon he determined himself as he flashed back the moment of his family’s death. A strong vengeful desire occupied his mind.
Samle: “I won’t spare them!”
