In the desolate depths of the cellar, where darkness reigned supreme and the air hung heavy with the stench of decay, silence was not merely absence of sound, but a tangible entity, a suffocating shroud that engulfed every noise in its grasp. Within this sinister chamber, the only semblance of life came in the form of agonized cries and muffled moans, echoing off damp stone walls and fading into oblivion, some abruptly ceasing as if death had mercifully claimed the tormented soul.

In one corner of the cellar, a lone figure pushed through the grueling routine of training, his muscles straining against the weight of anticipation for the next battle. Sweat dripped from his brow, mingling with the grime of his exertion, as he sought to keep his mind sharp amidst the chaos of his surroundings. It was in the midst of a punishing set of push-ups that his gaze caught the glint of nobility lurking in the shadows, igniting a fierce spark of resentment within him.

"What are you lookin at, noble?" he growled, his voice a low rumble that reverberated off the damp walls. "Come to taunt me? If ya so much of a hotshot, why don't you come in here and see who's really the tougher one?."
