"Seems like you've grown quite a bit since we last met, my son," said Nazunmar.
Alpshar's eyes widened in horror as he looked at Nazunmar. He clenched his teeth so hard that some of them wouldn't be intact after this night, but at that moment, his pure rage had overridden his ability to reason. He tightened his fists and threw a punch at his hated father, but Nazunmar easily blocked it. Ignoring his son's fury, Nazunmar delivered a fierce punch to his stomach.
The blow was so powerful that the sound resembled that of a person falling from the tenth floor.
Nazunmar looked at the other men and prostitutes in the room. "Get out. I'm going to play a game with my lovely son" he said, and his monstrous smile sent a shiver down everyone's spine. Then everyone hurriedly left the room.
"Now, my son, let me tell you a importent story" Nazunmar said and delivered another brutal punch to his son's stomach. Alpshar's trembling legs, as if proving their uselessness, gave way, causing him to collapse to the ground.
His mother stood up with great difficulty and punched Nazunmar in the back, but a fly would have done more serious damage. "Leave my son alone! Please do what you want with me, but let him go." she said desperately.
Nazunmar slapped her hard and Irene, already injured, fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
"Now where were we? Oh yes, the story! Cough cough. " he cleared his throat as if he was about to make an important speech.
"more or less forty years ago, I was on my way home from practice on a normal day. Then my father's right-hand man came to me and told me that my father had called for me. At that time, I was just a little boy of twelve years old and I worshipped my father. Anyway, when I went into my father's room, my face was just as shocked as yours is right now. My dad beat my mom pretty badly.
In fact, She was in worse shape than Irene. "
Alpshar was still unable to move and had to listen to these words with hatred. As if the two blows to his stomach had some special power, all of Alpshar's Kaizer power was gone, and the pain he felt was as if an elephant had run over him.
"Then my father said to me, ``Now your last test has begun. If you don't react when you see what I'm about to do, all my inheritance will be yours!'' and I nodded, and then my father beat my mother to death! My mom looked at me with pleading eyes and screamed for help, ahhhhh it felt so good.
Anyway, since I was the only one who passed the test, I was granted the right to become the heir to the Mountain Tiger Clan. Yeah is realy good, I know. I know." he said with a predatory look on his face.
"But now, NOW! ...I'm pretty desperate right now, you know..." he said with a terrible smile as he patted Alpshar's shoulder. His smile grew crazier by the second.
"All my sons failed the test! They all cried and cried like it was a very difficult test. Unbelievable! Fortunately, such weak children had no right to bear my surname, so I killed them all! I may not be a very good father, but I am not cruel enough to let a weak child live.
Anyway, now that you're the only boy I have, I'll have to make do with you, but don't worry, this time I'll use a knife to finish the job quickly.
Unfortunately, I played a little with your mother before you came, but don't be angry with me," he said and walked towards Irene with a crazy smile on his face.
"No, no!... what are you doing? Wait, please wait please I will do anything you want, please. I will be your slave if you want, but please let my mother go" Alpshar said with tears that could not stop.
"HAHAHAH. Ah, tonight will be quite fun but don't disappoint me, son. All you have to do is keep quiet while I do my work. If you do that, you will inherit everything I have. Really! Oh Where do I start?
Hmmm?"
and pulled out his knife...
"My Son, Please take care of your sister for me..." Irene lastly told her son, but his senses were dulled.
He was about to faint and vomit from the emotions Alpshar felt, but he could only watch helplessly. When He saw his father's first blow and could just see his mother's face, which no longer contained a soul.
He could not make sense of the emotions he felt. His brain couldn't even make sense of existence. His mental health was deteriorating. His emotions were exploding and now he was at the bottom. He had fallen into the mental quagmire and the abyss. There was no longer any reason for him not to lose his humanity.
Something unquenchable in him wanted to raise his voice...
"And if you stare too long into an abyss, the abyss will stare back at you."
Alpshar's eyes widened in horror, and something inside him exploded. The mental quagmire he had entered had allowed his soul to disappear, and he had become a monster. His existence had allowed him to become something the darkest souls would fear. In fact, the shackles on his soul were now removed. There was no trace of his humanity.
In the light of all this, Nazunmar, who was still stabbing Irene with a mad smile, did not realize what was about to happen. Alpshar, who had just lost all his strength and magic, stood up as if nothing had happened. NOW HE WAS REBORN!
Sensing something behind him, Nazunmar's survival instincts screamed as never before in his life. Turning around, he was momentarily startled by what he saw, and his ego was crushed by the fear of Alpshar.
"W-What... What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that? Stop looking at me like that or I'll gouge your eyes out!"
"You are a murderer, Nazunmar" Alpshar said in a whisper.
"A MURDERER WHO KILLED THE MAN IN ME! ...But now you will listen to the silence of your own death." Alpshar said
"Don't you dare touch me... Son?
"..... Don't come near me!"
"NO! HELP....ANYONE HELP ME?"
"CAN ANYONE HEAR MY VOICE?"
".... Please, stop! I am your father"
"WHO ARE YOU?"
"I'm sorry...forgive me please"
In the palace of Nazunmar, heir to the Mountain Tiger Clan, the screams continued until sunrise. For six hours, they were the most horrible and terrifying screams mankind had ever heard. Screams from men and women, even children and babies! No one knows exactly what happened that night, only that a monster was born. Darkness mocked the light that night.
"Behold, beings in heaven and on earth! Rejoice! Behold the greatest masterpiece ever created by man! Today is the birthday of the one who will rule over all beings in heaven and earth... Just Celebrate!"

In a stable that smelled of horse manure, a baby was crying desperately, as if afraid of the darkness of that night. A servant held the baby in her arms, trying to silence it with her tears. As the barn doors opened, a human entered. Of course, he was far from human. His whole body was covered in blood, but it was not his blood. His red hair was disheveled and his face was painted red.
The sun rising behind him challenged the darkness in his eyes.
Alpshar slowly approached the woman holding the baby, with no emotion in his eyes. His bloody hand started itching again.
"Please stop. Alpshar, please stop!" But Alpshar, as if he couldn't hear, continued to move forward, ignoring the woman's pleas.
"Alpshar, Stop already. Have you gone mad enough to kill your own sister?" Tears streamed from her eyes as she hugged the baby tightly and tried desperately to hide her.
When his ears heard these words, his black eyes widened. If his body weren't bloody, one might think he was human again. Alpshar looked at the crying baby and saw the golden eyes that were just like her mother's.
He gently cradled the baby with shaking hands and looked at her. This... was undoubtedly his sister, and at that moment, his mother's last words before she died came to mind. Unfortunately, he had been too mad to understand their meaning then, but now, as he gently held the little girl who had stopped crying as if sensing her brother, he realized that he once again had a reason to live.
"My Son, Please take care of your sister for me..."
