Clang! Clang!
"Get your asses up!, Its not the time to sleep, you need to finish this batch tonight or you will not get any food like yesterday!"
A Fat man wearing a military outfit was hitting an old man with hunchback back with a whip, he had hideous face that looked like it was stuffed with a whole kilograms of food, he was smiling maliciously, old man looked up and continued to work without saying anything, people were used to this kind of behavior here it wasn't uncommon to get accidentaly killed while working by the hands of humans.
This wasn't a suprise because everyone here had one pain in their hearts that would come to bloom very soon.
"Hurry! Alph is getting executed right now!"
Someone yelled and miners that had blue skin and others that didn't have, others that looked almost identical to humans, started to go to the one of the open spaces of the mines. They had terrible expressions, Alph was someone very important to them that was now getting executed, every single one of them vere feeling helpless and angry at themselves for being so weak.
On the stadium there was a big platform, there was a guillotine there, on the guillotine there was a blue haired and eyed young man not exceeding 15 Years of age, he was not his knees and his head was down, there was a human with a black mask near him looking at him with absolute contempt and disgust, they waited before all the kobolds in blue or white come, They deliberately waited for every single one of them to come.
10 Minutes Later.
Stadium was filled with kobolds blue or white all of them came, every one of them had bruses on them and their hands were filled with calluses from all this mining, they looked at Alph with their hearts clenched they knew Alph didn't do anything, he was taking the blame for all of them, They tried to escape but failed, if Higher ups knew they would butcher every one here so Alph took all the blame and was sentenced to be executed, he was executed publicly to made lecture of.
A man with white hair and military outfit went up on the platform, he notified some of the personal there to give him a microphone.
Man looked at all of the Kobolds and coughed "Cough, Cough, Now listen to me all of you, as you already know one of your members tried to deviate plan to escape your punishments."
He put his hands on Alph trying to lift his head up but.
"Hm?"
Alph's head didn't even budge, Man was embarrassed and tried harder but it didn't work, Then he coughed and looked at the man with black mask, Black masked man nodded and put his hand on Alph's head, this time it was lifted up.
People could see Alph's face, filled with bruises, but this wasn't enough to hide his handsome face and.....
Eyes of absolute contempt, confidence, he didn't have eyes of despair like others in the past, he had eyes of confidence like this wasn't any problem for him, Kobolds gasped at his willpower, They also wailed that someone so talanted and filled with willpower would die now.
Back then Alph suggested he would be the scapegoat because his left feet was hunchback and couldn't move correctly, when he was a kid he was hit by a big pickaxe by one of the soldiers "Accidentaly" after that he basically became a cripple.
In the mines being a cripple was a death sentence basically.
"Gasp....."
"Alph....."
Some of the Kobolds started having tears in their eyes.
White haired man looked at them with disgust and said "BE QUIET!!!!! As i said because of this undeniable crime, Sl----- Worker Number 6960 Alph Matisc Will be executed as the Law of the Supreme court will be activated." He wanted to get this over with fast, he was also very suprised what kind of look Alph had in his eyes, he didn't want his willpower to give other Kobolds some willpower and hope to fight, it would be too troublesome and he would have to pay for it if something went very absolutely wrong.
He looked at the black masked person and said "Put his head on the guillotine."
Black masked person nodded and put Alph's head in the executioner.

Countdown started and the blade started falling.
Alph pulled his head up and looked over the crowd and smiled.
He looked at them with the eyes saying "This isn't your foult, don't dread on it."
But in his heart.....
Rage was burning.
Alph put his head down and seemingly got ready to face the impossible wish of living.
"(Why..... Just why..... WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I..... have lost everything, my family, my friends..... WHY!!!!! Now i will lose my life too..... this is just too unfair..... why did you send this monsters to us..... WHYYYYYYYY!!!!! HUMANS!!!!! DAMN HUMANS!!!!!)"
Alph was gritting his teeth.
White haired man thought he was afraid so he felt little better and looked over a crowd, but suprisngly he descovered all of them kneeling down at Alph.

Darkness enveloped everything, Alph feel in this darkness, he felt he could look around but he couldn't so he stopped.
He put his hand on his face and laughed.
"Hah..... HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! FATHER!!!!! YOu were right!!!!! Afterlife does exist..... and i..... I DONT EVEN HAVE A PERMISSION TO GO TO THE NICE PLACE YOU DESCRIBED!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA SEE FATHER????? SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO SINNED SO MUCH DESERVES TO GO TO THIS PLACE RIGHT???!! Right?..... why..... its so quiet..... is this were am i going to spend rest of eternity?, but why though, i don't..... I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!"
Alph yelled with all of his breath, but nothing could be heard here.
He yelled again.
But then stopped, he closed his eyes before murmuring.
"Maybe this is better, maybe this is better than being in that hellhole called living land..... i am so..... tired-----"
Alph closed his eyes and feel asleep.

"Alph....."
"Alph....."

"ALPH!!!!!"
Alph opened his eyes and plunged up.
He looked around and was instantly dumbfounded.
"W... What?????"
"What do you mean WHAT???!! Alph are you okay?, you need to snap out of it man, Wardens are coming!!!!!"
Alph looked to his right and saw a. blue skinned young man with blue hair, he had golden eyes that were sparkling naturally, he was not exceeding age of 10.
Alph stopped for a while and he muttered "Al.... Alex?????"
Young man reacted and said "Yeah????? Whats Wr-----"
Alph suddenly plunged towards him and hugged while sobbing.
"I Thought..... i thought i lost you 5 years ago..... my best friend....."
Alex was about to say something but Alph didn't listen, let go and looked to his left shockingly.
there was a little window there with a text.
