Description

Born into the chaos of a brutal war camp, he knew nothing but violence. From the moment he could stand, he was forged into a weapon by cruel masters who saw him as nothing more than a tool of destruction.

But in a quiet town along the army's march, he found something that broke through the darkness: love. A woman with a kind heart saw the man beneath the soldier, and for her, he risked everything. He deserted the army, fleeing with her into obscurity. For a decade, they built a life together, raising their son Raul.

The past, however, does not forgive. His former masters hunted him down, and when they found him, they exacted a terrible price. His wife and child were slaughtered before his eyes, and he was left to wallow in grief.

In his despair, he heard the voice. It promised him the impossible: his son's return, a life for a life it whispered. Blinded by desperation, he agreed. But the deal was a lie. Instead of him dying, he was cursed to kill a man every day for eternity, otherwise his son would die. With each life he took, the voice whispered, “For Raul.”

At first, he resisted, each death a torment. But as the years passed, the killings became easier, the whispers more seductive. Now, the man who once fled war has become its willing servant, an agent of death who kills not out of necessity, but for the fleeting pleasure it brings.
