Chapter 4 - Road to hell

It was almost night, and Rosu had nothing to eat. He was very hungry. "There's nothing in the fridge. I believe the person whose body I've taken must have died of hunger and starvation. I guess I have to find some food for tonight," Rosu thought to himself. He headed to a nearby restaurant, but without money, he knew he couldn't eat there.

Upon entering the restaurant, Rosu approached the manager, who greeted him warmly. "Oh hey, Rosu! How have you been? It's been a long time since you've visited us," said the manager. The manager knew Rosu well, so this was a good opportunity for Rosu to ask for help.

"Actually, sir, I'm very hungry and don't have enough money to pay for food. Can you help me out? I'm willing to work for it," Rosu asked.

The manager replied, "Rosu, I heard you lost your job last week, and I've been worried about you. You're like a son to me. Eat whatever you want. Mike, bring a plate of cheese spaghetti for Rosu," said the manager.

"Thank you for your kindness! Can I also ask for another favor? Could I get a job as a waiter here?" Rosu inquired.

"Of course! Why don't you start from next week?" said the manager. "Here's your food, Rosu. Enjoy your dinner tonight."

"Thanks for the food," Rosu said gratefully. Before starting his meal, he prayed, "Master of the kingdom, I gather here with a grateful heart for this meal. May your light shine upon this restaurant." After finishing his meal, Rosu thanked the manager and headed home.

As he was walking, a black car zoomed by him. The car had "Morpheus Enterprises" printed on it.

"This was the company Miss Rose mentioned. Why are they in such a hurry? I need to find out what's going on," Rosu thought.

He followed the car for 10 minutes and arrived at a building surrounded by barbed wire and fencing. Workers were busy reconstructing the building and digging deep holes in the ground.

"What's going on here?" Rosu wondered.

As he tried to sneak closer, a voice came from behind. "Hey, what are you doing here? You don't have permission to enter this area," one of the guards said, with others quickly joining in to question him.

Rosu replied, "I was just trying to find out what's happening here."

"Don't try to be smart. It's none of your business," another guard replied firmly.

Rosu realized there were too many guards present, making it risky to investigate further. He concluded that it wasn't the right moment to continue his inquiry. Deciding to bide his time, he quietly left the area and waited nearby. He planned to return once the guards had left, hoping for a better opportunity to uncover what was happening inside.

After a few hours, some of the guards departed, providing Rosu with the chance he had been waiting for. He cautiously made his way onto the property, moving stealthily to avoid detection. Finding a building nearby, he decided to climb to the top in the hopes of gaining a better vantage point to observe any interesting activity within the property.

As Rosu approached the hole, his suspicions were confirmed when he saw the large pit surrounded by barbed wire and veils. He couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was happening.

"Damn! What are they doing here? This hole almost looks like a road to hell," Rosu muttered to himself, feeling tense.

"It's not the road to hell, Mister. My guards thought you had left the place," a voice interrupted him.

Startled, Rosu turned to see a man standing nearby. "Who are you?" he asked cautiously.

"I am Mr. Finn," the man replied calmly.

Now, Rosu found himself in a dire situation. He was surrounded by guards, with Mr. Finn's presence adding to the tension.

"I know what you want, young man. Take this as a gift and never show your face here again. It will be best for both of us," said Mr. Finn.

"What is this?" Rosu asked.

"It's a bag full of money. Take it freely. This money can change your life; you can use it for your purposes," Mr. Finn said, his tone slick like a venomous snake.

Suddenly, Mr. Finn's phone rang, and he picked up. "Yes, sir. Yes, sir, I understand the importance and am coming right now," he said with tension and fear evident in his voice. "I hope you're taking this money, young man," he added before quickly leaving.

"This is how you guys do business here, huh!" Rosu remarked to the guards. "Tell your boss that I don't need his money, and I'm going to expose this place," he said angrily.

"The boss ordered us to shoot you if you don't take the money and do anything stupid," one of the guards threatened.

As the guard prepared to shoot, Rosu kicked a stone into his face, stunning him. The other guards rushed in to attack, and one grabbed Rosu from behind.

"Where will you go, huh?" the guard sneered.

"Do you know who I am?" Rosu shouted in anger. "I am the warrior of the light."

Suddenly, a strong wind began to blow, carrying with it a powerful aura. The guards felt weaker and in pain, as if being punched without physical contact. The wind ceased abruptly, leaving only Rosu standing firm and strong.

"Who are you?" one of the guards asked, writhing in pain on the ground.

"I am Rosugan. I am the warrior of the light and the destroyer of the dark. Tell your boss I will be back for him," Rosu declared.
