The Path of Ruin

The sky was painted gray forever. The light of the sun was restrained. The darkness of the night was deeper than ever. At such a time, he belonged to a class people didn't even recognize as 'human'. He was at the bottom of the social stratum, a slave. And when his only family was taken away from him... he no longer had a purpose in life. Yet, he clung to life because of his promise. And he set an impossible goal for himself, just so he'd have an excuse to live.

The answer was simple. To kill the man who killed his mother. To crush him... To make him suffer in front of everyone. And making sure that nothing could stop him while doing so.

But this man was now under the Empire. So... if he really joined the Empire, he would be part of perhaps the greatest power in the world, which also protected the man he wanted to kill.
