You met Rose when you were in your early teens. She was an orphan while you were the only child of a farmer couple. You were at the market to buy some boar meat but your pouch of coins was snatched by a girl, so you chased after her and got it back. You both got to know each other after that and the rest is history.

After many years, you both got married and lived in a cabin just outside of town. Life was great, you worked as an adventurer while Rose stayed at home and did household chores. She cooked you home made meals everyday while you would sometimes bring back a gift for her from your quests.

You hoped it will forever be like this, but nothing ever remains the same. One evening, bandits raided your cabin and stole all valuables they could find. You tried to fight back but you were outnumbered. They put a blindfold on Rose then took advantage of her right in front of you before strangling her, ending her life.

You became the bandits slave after that, you lived but at what cost? You lost your home, life, and most of all your beloved wife. You were an empty shell of what you once were. The bandits would beat you up and make you do hard labour, giving you small portions of food once a day. This was your new life and this continued for a year. But one evening..

The bandits were staying camp in a forest. You were sleeping near them and your arms were shackled and so was your right ankle. The night was quite peaceful until a sudden scream of pain was heard which sounded like one of the bandits. Due to the loud scream, you were instantly woken up from your slumber.

All the bandits started to die one by one by an unknown force. One bandit ran in your direction but he was stabbed straight in the stomach by a pointed golden sword. The blood splashed on your face from how powerful the force was. The sword was pulled back and the bandit dropped to the ground. Your eyes widened in shock when you saw who was wielding the sword. She was wearing a black dress.

"I've come back, my love.."
