...
"This has to be a joke!" In a dark corner in an unknown place, a child with white hair and gray eyes could be seen in panic, looking at his hands as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"This can't be real!" As he screamed in panic, he didn't notice a tall, 2-meter man, bald and shirtless, with a body full of deformities approaching.
He wore a loincloth and held a cleaver in his hand, and between his legs was a giant penis that was almost dragging on the floor. This man's wife certainly doesn't have an easy life.
When the child, or rather, when Leon noticed, it was too late. He could only watch in fear as the cleaver the man was carrying came down on his head, splitting it in half and scattering pieces of his brain and skull everywhere.
All he could do was feel a pain he had never felt before, for half a second before he couldn't feel anything anymore, just everything went black.
....
"Fuck....ah...ah..ah..." Leon suddenly opened his eyes and cursed, breathing heavily.
When he was about to curse again, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, while looking around in fear.
Realizing that he was in the same place as before, he began to panic, quickly getting up and looking for somewhere to hide.
"I can't see anything." He whispered quietly when he realized that he couldn't see more than 5 steps ahead.
Looking at himself, he sees that he is wearing cheap leather armor and pants that reach his boots that seem to be leather too, his entire outfit seems too big for him, reinforcing that they were not made for someone his young age.
Looking at the floor, Leon finds a belt with a dagger and a long sword.
The dagger was simple in appearance and did not appear to be of high quality. The sword was full of scratches on its blade, showing that it had already participated in several battles. When touching it, Leon felt as if he was remembering something.
How to wield it, how to cut, pierce and defend himself in a fight, as if he had trained for years.
If Leon could describe the feeling when touching the sword, it was like the feeling of hugging his girlfriend after days without seeing each other.
Leon was lost in thought until he felt a slight tremor in the ground. Looking around, he found the same man who had killed him less than 4 steps away from him, preparing to brandish his cleaver.
"Not again, damn it!" Leon was shocked for a second, afraid, until anger replaced the fear.
Quickly assuming a defensive posture, Leon prepared to defend the blow. He could see the flaws in the man's attack.
There was no technique, just brute force. Realizing this, Leon waited for the blow to approach and at the last second he simply dodged the man's attack by taking a step to the left.
The man, not expecting this, ended up losing his balance, falling on his stomach on the ground, shaking the entire ground around him.
Leon gave a sadistic smile and with a simple swing, he cut off the man's penis.
"Aaaaah..." The man screamed loudly in pain as his penis was cut off.
Giving the man an irritated look, Leon pierced the back of the man's neck with his sword.
"Your scream is annoying, pig!" While giving another smile when the man stopped moving.
Leon stopped for a moment and realized what he was doing. "Fuck... is this because of the [sadist] title?"

Before Leon could think anything about it, he began to hear small tremors in the ground and looked in the direction of the sound.
Unable to see anything and feeling the sound approaching, Leon assumed a defensive posture and waited patiently.
After a few seconds, three men, all with the same characteristics as the previous one, were lying dead on the ground. Taking a deep breath and trying to stay calm, Leon couldn't help but curse his luck as sweat ran down his forehead, maintaining his posture and becoming impasses with the men, until two of them advanced while shouting loudly. As soon as they were just one step away from reaching Leon, they both brandished the cleaver they had in their hands. Keeping calm, Leon dodged them both by taking a step back. He brandished his sword with all his strength towards the arm of the man on his right. His intention was clear, to rip off the arm that was holding the cleaver. Unfortunately, since he was a child and didn't have much strength, his sword only managed to reach the bone but not rip off the arm itself. The man glared at Leon while holding his arm in pain. Not letting this discourage him, Leon took another step back to dodge the other man who was already trying to hit him again.
Leon quickly swings his sword forward, cutting both of the man's eyes, while he screams in pain. Leon analyzes everything as calmly as possible.
Three enemies, one with a disabled arm but not out of combat, another without vision but still a threat, and the last one who had disappeared into the darkness, possibly waiting for the moment I let my guard down to attack...
"This is going to be a pain... But I would win."
The man who was without vision began to brandish his cleaver in all directions, trying to hit him.
The other with the disabled arm had already gotten up and was advancing furiously towards Leon, who looked at him strangely.
When he was about to reach Leon, the man fell to the ground while screaming.
"Aaaaah... Aaah." His leg had been cut by his companion who was blind.
Not wasting time, Leon brandished his sword towards his neck, causing a lot of blood to start gushing from his throat and he began to choke on his own blood.
Dodging the blind man's cleaver, Leon stabbed the man in the belly while slicing his stomach open with his blade.
Taking a step back, Leon watched with satisfaction as the man's guts began to fall to the ground, scattering everywhere.
As the man tried to collect his guts and put them back in his stomach, all he did was make the scene even more disgusting.

After a few seconds, the blind man ended up dying from blood loss.

Leon gave a satisfied smile and then turned his back to the darkness, hoping that if the last man was still here he would fall into the trap.
It wasn't long before he felt a slight tremor, and he took a step forward and turned back.
Just in time to see the man who had hidden, watching the man and not wanting to delay, Leon advanced towards the man who began to brandish his cleaver towards Leon.
Before reaching the man's reach, Leon stopped at the last second, letting the cleaver pass by him at a distance of 20 cm, before the man could recover Leon took half a step forward and pierced the man's throat with his sword, seeing the man's look of pain Leon began to spin the tip of his sword increasing the man's pain, who could not even scream in pain.
Taking a step back Leon dodged the cleaver of the man who tried by any means to hit Leon, after a few seconds with the man's blows getting slower and slower while more and more blood gushed from his throat, he finally fell to the ground.
Waiting a few more seconds, Leon finally heard..
[You gained 5xp]
"Finally....." after saying this, Leon fell to the ground while letting out a sigh.
"I thought I was going to die here." As he sat and rested, Leon remembered something and spoke...

Before he could think too much about which attributes to level up, Leon stopped when he saw a light approaching along with the sound of metal hitting the ground.
Quickly allocating the points gained to strength, physique, and dexterity.
Leon quickly stood up and with his sword in hand, Leon prepared for combat, feeling a wave of power running through his body and increasing with each passing second.
"I can't have a second of peace here, what else could I expect from this world..."
Letting out a sigh, he could finally see who was in front of him.
It was a man in full armor from head to toe with a long sword in one hand and a torch in the other.
The man paused for a second as he analyzed the bodies on the ground and then looked at you and seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Kid... What happened here?" The man asked with curiosity and disbelief in a hoarse voice that sounded tired.
Leon looked at the man and said, "These guys attacked me out of nowhere, I didn't do anything to them and then they suddenly tried to kill me, you're not going to blame me for defending myself, are you?" The man looked at Leon for a moment upon hearing his answer and asked once more, "Did you kill them?" Leon just nodded in agreement and waited for the man's answer. "I should thank you for that, kid. These men here have already been corrupted by this place. I was after them for abusing and killing other guards." Looking at the bodies once more, the man looks at the boy and asks, "But what are you doing here, kid?" Leon let out a sigh and told his backstory up until the moment he suddenly woke up here inside this place. The man listened attentively to Leon's story and then replied, "Well, your father must be an incredible warrior, since he trained you to the point where you could defeat four guards at such a young age." "Not everyone could achieve such a feat, since after being corrupted by this place, people gain superhuman strength."
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Rudimer, the captain of this dungeon/prison. I see that you're a capable young man with great skills, Leon. What do you think about helping me with some tasks in exchange for a good payment?"
Leon looked at the man and thought, Captain Rudimer. He vaguely remembered this man. At some point in the future, Buck's group will come to try to rescue him when he disappears.
I have no idea what point in the story I'm at, but if he's okay, it means that the main story hasn't started yet or is about to start... If I want to have some ease in exploring and learning more about this place, I'll definitely have to follow this man....
From what I've learned in the game, he's not a bad person, and from our conversation, I feel that way too.... Alright.
"Okay, Captain Rudimer, lead the way!"
Rudimer smiled upon hearing this and turned around while Leon began to follow him.
He began to ask Rudimer a series of questions, who simply smiled behind his helmet and answered them calmly, thinking that a child will always be a child with his curiosity in the end.
