The wet, desolate parts of the forest rested in silence as the starry black sky wept over it. The puddles of water shimmered by the glow of the bright lights from the passing cars. The trees and grasses from the roadside swayed as the strong breeze hits them.

Above a faded zebra crossing, an old and sole street lamp stood proudly giving the surrounding its needed light.

A few meters away, two watchmen stood still in the dark guarding a particulary large creepy looking gate leading to the forest.

Unknown to the outside world, this gate is an entrance leading to a very different world.

A world wherein bloody deaths is nothing, but an everyday game to those brave souls.

And there in middle of the forest, stood an old creepy mansion which was large enough to call it a castle.

Beneath this castle lies a space as large as the mansion.

This space is none other than the secret hideout of all thugs, assassins, gangsters and wealthy businessmen doing illegal things.

Most of all, this place is where all the fights are taking place for all the groups or individuals who are aiming to be number one and prove themselves to be the strongest.

This place is what they called: Underworld.

At this very moment, a fight is being held.

"Empress!"

"Empress!"

"Whoah!"

"Kill that crazy guy, Queen!"

"Yeah! That is what you get for messing with our Queen!"

"Heh! Serve you right, bastards!"

"How dare they challenge our Queen!"

"Show him his place!"

These are the loud cheering, shouting and yelling from all the people who are watching the fight.

There in the middle of the large arena, a man was bathing on his own blood with the bones of his left leg and arm coming out of place, but this doesn't stop him from continiously trying to stand up, but failing misserably.

Behind him layed all the bloodied bodies of all his hunchmen.

Some of them are struggling to catch their last breath while all the others are already long dead.

"What? You still have the strenght to stand up? Unbelievable!"

"Just give up, man!"

"By now, you should have realized that you will never win against Empress!"

Yelled again the people when they saw what the man is trying to do.

"Shut up! I won't give up!" Retorted the man weakly as he sputtered more blood. He then gathered his strenght before standing, but his legs are already wobbling none stop. He tried so hard to ignore the burning sensation of his wounds.

After a few moments, the man tried to stay calm, not minding the pain before looking up to meet the dead and blood red eyes of the demon in front of him.

She just stared at him with a blank and very emotionless look that makes the man felt as if she was looking at his very soul which makes him frozen in place while shivering in pure horror and fear.

He felt as if he just came face to face with the goddess of death or worst, Satan himself!

Fortunately for him, her watch suddenly glow which mommentarily diverted her attention as she looked at it.

After a few seconds, without any words, she turned around and started to walk away, but she stopped when he opened his mouth again.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going? The fight isn't over yet. Or are you scared of me now?" The man paused for a second before continuing with a smirk.

"I can't believe it. The so called Empress would walk away in the middle of the fight just like that. Are you afraid that I would beat the hell out of you?"

As soon as the words escaped his lips, all of the audience gasped before saying their side comments again.

"Has he gone insane?"

"He must really have a death wish!"

"He's not just an idiot, but a total barbaric moron!"

"You're right sistah. Let's just pray for his poor soul."

To the man's horror, the demon suddenly dissapeared from where she was standing. In a blink of an eye, he found himself unable to breath as he realized that he was already a few feet above the ground with her left iron-like hand gripping his neck and choking the air out of him.

He then started to struggle to break out of her grip, but to no avail.

This continued for a few seconds more until his body and mind finally gave up to the abbyss of darkness and is now on the verge of dying, but before his last breath leave him, she threw him across the ring with him slumping so hard on the wall leaving a huge crack on it as his body slides down.

There was a complete silence for a few seconds as all the audience stared at the now unmoving bloody body of the man as a few debris fall to the ground.

"Whoah! That's so awesome!"

"That's our Queen for you!"

"Your'e the best-- huh? Where is she?" Shouted a girl when she looked back on the arena only to find nothing, but the fallen dead bodies of those men scattered around.

"Where did she go?"

"I don't know, maybe she left already?"

"Ladies and gentlemen! That was an awesome fight between our Queen and mad man! Now, who's ready for another fight!" The MC tried to ease the confusion and after a few seconds, they all forgot about what just happened and begun cheering for the next contenders.

"Then Please welcome blah blah and blah blah our new contenders." He continued and as the two mentioned contenders makes their way through the crowd, the audience's yelling, cheering and shouting grew even more loudly.

SOMEONE POV

After I left, I headed straight to this mansion's hidden parking lot exclusively only for me, grabbed my big bike and immediately started the engine and letting it heat for a minute or so before driving extremely fast resulting to me arriving at my own castle in just a short period of 10 minutes.

I was then then greeted by so many butlers and maids, but I just continued to walk ignoring them as I always did. I just wanted to soak on my bathtub, but my most trusted butler, Sebastian, said something which makes me wanna punch someone in irritation. Instead of heading to my room, I headed to my office only to find the old man on my left side staring intently at my portrait on the wall as he always does.

Without any noise, I made my way through my swivel chair and comfortly sitted myself.

I guessed he noticed my arrival when he turned to look at me before smiling.

"I see you're back, I've been waiting. How are you? Kaye Demmonaire Ashford?"

I narrowed my eyes when I heard my full name. He is even smiling creepily.

"What do you want?" I asked very coldy which makes him smile even more.

"On point as always, huh?" He grinned before pulling out a brown envelope and handed them to me.

"Inside are all the files about those missing adventurers from the last few months this year. I want you to investigate this case personally and terminate everyone. I mean,
everyone related to this case."

From the corner of my eyes, I saw that he's really serious about this, but I just ignored him before opening the envelope and brought out a few pictures with some  files of informations about them.

"Your main mission is to find them at all cost and bring them back dead or alive. "

The old man continued as I scanned the information and at the same time memorized their faces.

"When do I leave? Location?"

"Ah yes I forget about that. I will give you time to prepare since this mission may last longer than any of your past missions. The location is the rainforest in Southeast Asia."

I was taken aback by what he said, but I didn't show it. I just continued to look at the files.

"If you have nothing more to say, then you can go."

"As you wish. Goodnight, Kaye."

After he left, I remained seated for a few minutes before returning the files and pictures in the envelope and went out of my office.

When I reached my room, I headed straight to my bathroom and have a nice hot shower.

After a few minutes, I quickly changed into my sleeping dress and went out of the bathroom and almost flied towards my bed for some needed rest.
