Link rests on his worn out bed which seemed it had gone through countless owners and untold amount of time. Looking up Link thought
"Damn, what the f#ck just happened. All this sh#t I can't take it anymore. I died and nearly died 2 times. Heck might as well be called Zagreus. "
Link thought deeply about how he's supposed to live now. He was trying to woo some girl just a day ago , and now he's in this god who knows place. He couldn't even say goodbye to his family. He's strict but loving father, mother of infinite love and his little sister whom he cherished more than his life. It was all just too saddening. He couldn't bear to see his family looking at his dead corpse. Their tears running down their old and young cheeks, hearts being broken. He really didn't want that scene to happen, but alas he can't do nothing, since technically he's dead. Immersed in his thought he eventually slumbered into the realm of dreams.
"RISE AND SHINE NOKHOI NUMBER 4. IF YOU'RE GONNA WORK FOR US YOU NEED TO BE AT LEAST USEFUL." said an unknown man with an voice so thunderous that could shake mountains and rivers alike. The room shook , the air vibrated, and his heart stopped for a moment ,but his ears were surprisingly okay. Puzzled, Link checked his ears just in case , sure enough it was okay.
The loud man once again opened his mouth to speak while his ghost green cape dazzled in the wind that feels non-existent.
" SO NOKHOI FOUR I AM YOUR TRAINER AND I SHALL MAKE YOU INTO SHARP TOOL THAT CAN PIERCE ANYTHING. THE TRAINING MIGHT HURT YOU"
said the loud man while hiding a small laugh which soon turned into a laugh that anyone in a big building might hear. It was so loud and booming ,but the worst part was the way he laughed. It sounded like laugh that came straight from hell. The man felt he was already enjoying what he was about to do to Link.
Witnessing a very unsettling situation Link felt anxious. The room warped around Link, the man and the door frame behind kept growing while he felt his tiny existence getting even smaller. Then Link thought "Where did this all go wrong?" and swallowing the little air that he might use later.
Suddenly bright circles popped below the two men. It looked like one of those fantasy magic circles. Shinning blue circles with glowing texts unknown to mankind. Drawing in ethereal energy.
Poof. The two men disappeared into thin air, leaving only dust and air behind.
Fuushhh. In a big strange room with no windows , no door with only lights hanging down from the ceiling a bright light appeared along with the trembling space people actualized into reality, into existence. The loud man spoke once more.
"THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL LIVE AND BREATHE OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. I WILL TRAIN YOU IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT . SOMEONE ELSE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU IN THE DAY TIME. SO SHALL WE START WORKING?"
After those words, hell came . Link's body broke down more than he had ever had in his entire life in those few hours. Even though Link was a former 400m runner and a good one at that he had never experienced such pain and suffering. 1km sprint, 500 push ups, 500 crunches, 100 100kg squats.
He couldn't even rest between exercises and if he lagged little behind, the loud man would punch him really hard. Every time those truck heavy punches hit, he was at death's doorstep and if Link did die he was brought back through unknown power. He felt his smashed organs growing back and attaching to his body cell by cell, splattered blood running into his popped heart and concaved vessel, muscles regenerating and connecting with each fiber, and broken bones cutting and slicing through the soft body to reform. What poor Link felt was worse than death. A constant back and forth from one torture to another.
After the loud man left through a circle in the corner of the room another person came. A cute petite girl came. Link thought "Ah it's a girl. Finally I can rest." but to his dismay the girl pulled out a spiked club that was incomparably big and said " What are you doing? Get back up . We need to sharpen those fangs more." those word hit Link hard. Link cried while the big club loomed over the small girl and finally said" Well, I'm f#cked".
