I was abandoned at birth. Left alone in front of a small church in a quiet village called Endora.
As I grew up, I began to realize that I was different. My body developed faster than the other kids, and more than anything—my hair was jet black.
In this world, there was an old myth.
They said that black-haired children were descendants of a long-forgotten race. A cursed people. The remnants of their blood were believed to bring misfortune and tragedy to everyone around them.
Because of that, the villagers treated me like an outcast. No, like I wasn't even human.
They would hit me. Kick me. Whisper behind my back. Sometimes they didn't even bother whispering.
I became the boy no one wanted to see.
By the time I was five, I looked like I was already ten years old. My rapid growth only added fuel to their fear. To them, I wasn't a child, I was a monster.
Ever since I turned eight, my mind began to develop—and I finally understood. I was hated by everyone in this village. Some even wished I would just die.
That realization planted a deep fear in me.
Even soft words could cut like blades. I became lost… alone… confused. The trauma only grew. I turned timid, withdrawn, unable to trust anyone.
I was easy to manipulate. Easy to use. People would take advantage of me, torment me, just to feel better about themselves.
The only person who ever showed me true kindness… was Sister Sofia, the nun who took me in. The woman who raised me like her own despite the scorn she faced for caring for a "monster boy."
She was a beautiful woman with big blue eyes and blonde hair despite often being seen in her robe; only I had seen her gorgeous hair.
When I was a kid, the two of us would always bathe together until I turned eight, when my body developed into a teenager's. She became shy and fluttered whenever she saw my naked body. So, I began to bathe alone.
However, because of her beauty, a lot of people in this village looked at her with lust; even the young lord of this land had his eye on her, but because I was here, no one dared come close to her.
When I turned fifteen and received a class, I left the village and sister Sofia with Alice to go on adventures and gain battle experience.
I kept on writing letters to sister Sofia for one month, but the return letter began to be delayed, and at some point, there was no reply from her, and I became concerned and worried about her.
I begged Alice and asked her to return to the village together and check on her, but she didn't want me to return or care after we finally arrived in the capital, so I sneaked out at night and returned to the village.
When I arrived at the church, it was locked, and even a sign said kept out. But I saw a light, and a sound came from the inside.
I quickly walk and poke by the window to see what happens inside.
There were two candlelights lit up inside the church, but the inside was empty except for a bed with Sister Sofia bound naked on it.
Her mouth was stuffed with a leather cloth. Around her, there were five men. Three of them were already fully naked, and the other two were still in their knight attire.
"The young lord say to finish her up after we break her !"
"That was a waste."
"She so fucking beautiful; I wait for a long time until that monster leaves this village!"
"Hey! Thanks to the lord that we got to taste her."
The five men laughed and chatted as they began to touch her body and penetrate her body without any sympathy,
Sofia could not shout or move because her mouth was stuffed, and her leg and arm were tied to the bed frame in a spreadeagle position. She was in pain as those scum began to play with her, and she shook her head, and tears kept falling from her eyes.
"Ahh... her tight pussy, I'm coming !"
"Oi .. hurry up, it's my turn. I kept on sucking her soft tits for a while now."
"Don't worry, we could do this till the sun rises!"
"Damn, that young lord is fucking nasty! He sold all the orphan kids in here !"
"Aha ha"
Sofia's eyes were lifeless as she gave up on her life; as a person who devoured her body and mind for the goddess, she was a pure maiden, but now everything was shattered.
At that moment, I could only stand frozen in one place and watch the scene in horror; my tears wouldn't stop spilling. I was weak mentally and scared; a trauma arose when I saw those guys were knights. They always wanted to kill me when I was a kid.
But strangely, something in my pant built up and wanted to explode; I was so pathetic and the scum of the world that I got turned on by watching those people raping Sofia violently.
As I lowered my gaze and turned to Sofia, she glanced out the window, and our eyes met; at that time, I was so lost as guilt built up in me, and I could not even know what I should do; her eyes color was regained when she met mine, but as a coward, I crouched down and hide from her sight.
"I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry"
Those were the only phrases that I screamed in my mind as I crouched down and held my head.
But then I began to hear Sofia moan and groaned in despair.
"Yes, I would love to hear her voice."
"Oi kept it down; someone might hear."
"Don't worry, no one will lay a hand on us !"
"Ahaha... im coming again !!"
"Ahhh .....ahhh A .. .. lex !"
"Oi, she is calling someone. Stop fucking her for a second."
"Fuck man, I was almost there !"
I heard Sofia calling my name while moaning in pain as those monsters were talking and kept on pounding her like a toy.
The memory of the warmest person in my life, Sofia, began to appear in my mind after I heard her calling my name.
"Alex, don't forget to be kind and help the other, all right?"
That was the phase where she told almost everything single day, despite the fact I was treated hastily, and so was she.
At that moment, I let out a roaring scream that was loud enough to make those guys surprised.
"Hey! What the fuck is that ??"
"Did you hear that ?"
I kicked the church door and rushed in without they could even react. I mustered my strength and leaped in, throwing my fist and kicking at them one by one; as they flew to the ground, I pulled out my knife and cut the bind around Sofia, but as I did that, two other men lunch at me and pushed to the ground.
I quickly resisted and threw them away, but then I froze again when one of them stood close to Sofia, and a knife pulled out from a sheath, and he stabbed it precisely at Sofia's neck.
She looked at me with a warm smile before the color of her eyes was gone.
Rage built up inside me, and so did the trauma.
I kept on hitting one of them one by one, but I was inexperienced as that man was trained with swords professionally.
They began to draw their sword and slash at me.
Then one of them talks to me, and the other follows.
"Ohh... is it the monster boy ?"
"Oh yeah .. that's right, it's him !"
"Fuck, it hurt !"
The knight then, surrounded with their sword, pointed at me.
"Did you know why she died??"
One of them asks me with mockery. I stood still and puzzled by his question.
"Because you were intervening with us ??"
"Lier! You are planning to kill her !!"
I shout in despair.
"Ahahaha... so what can you do, monster boy! You're just a newbie adventurer."
After he said, he slashed his blade cut my left ear and a little bit of my hair in a flashing move that I couldn't even react to.
"Should we just kill him !"
"Yes"
After saying that, the four other men charged in with a deadly look in their eyes; they wanted to kill me.
I could feel the cut all over my body as they began. I managed to dodge one attack but was hit by another at that moment; the only thing I could do was escape and survive.
"Oi, he running!!"
As I tried to run away from there cowardly without even turning my head to see the lifeless body of Sofia once again, I rush outside with blood dripping from my body; I kept on running until I reached the forest and hid there while crying, and at that moment, I determined myself that I will become stronger.
