The worst thing that could happen to you was living in an area prone to get caught during the Great Ability War.

On a cold night when you chose to steal goods from an army base, you were cornered for theft. And they would execute you, alongside everyone else who defies their side.

Your cut body was flung into a shallow lake, and you were surrounded by corpses. The water smells like blood. The water was nothing but blood.

You faintly feel it, the two fingers checking your pulse.
