" Why the fuck did no one ever tell me that 'code zero' means to run away in the first place?" Pale exclaimed, his breath heavy as he continued running.

Pale felt as though his life hung by a thread, and he was almost on the verge of crying for help.

He had heard about the great dangers the Gordons clansmen had to face every time they entered the Abyss, but he had overlooked all of that.
