Chapter 1
Chapter 1
During my junior year of college, I worked part-time as a singer at a bar.
During an intermission, I had a glass of lemonade, and immediately after, I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was naked and locked in a basement. My white T-shirt and jeans were nowhere to be found.
A heavy iron chain was fastened around my neck, and leather whips hung on the surrounding walls.
In the darkness, a man in a suit appeared, swirling a wine glass.
Seeing me curled up in the corner like a coward, a look of disappointment flashed across his face.
“You’re already singing at bars, so why act like some pure, innocent virgin?”
“A piece of work like you can earn 500,000 for one night with a man. You’ve hit the jackpot.”
He rolled a wad of red bills into a ball and forced it into my mouth.
The man ground his leather shoe back and forth against my smooth shoulder, and wine poured from my hair down to my chest.
“Please, don’t…”
In the dim corner, I suppressed my trembling and desperately hid a sharp, rusted piece of iron in my hand.
Seeing me beg for mercy, the man indeed let down his guard.
The moment he leaned in close, I gripped the iron shard and slashed it hard across his throat!
A massive spray of warm blood fanned out before my eyes, as smooth as a bolt of red silk.
“Gurgle…”
Strange sounds spilled from the man’s lips as he twitched and collapsed like a dying fish.
Once, twice, three times… ninety-nine times.
I slumped in the corner, gasping for breath from exhaustion.
The man’s flesh had been sliced open, curling back to reveal white bone. Gradually, he stopped moving.
Before I could even feel the onset of terror, the mangled corpse vanished into thin air.

A pale blue, transparent panel floated in mid-air, looking just like something out of a sci-fi movie.

A shimmering white light illuminated the basement. A black card lay quietly where the man’s body had disappeared.
I dazedly let go of the rusted iron shard, my gaze falling on the hidden corner where I had found it.
A faint stain of crimson blood remained there, along with a few strands of long hair still attached to bits of scalp.
It had been hidden by the last woman locked in this room.
It seemed she never got to use it.
Was she also prey meant to be slaughtered?
The thick, metallic stench of blood had not yet dissipated, but a secret thrill surged from the depths of my heart.
From this day forward, I am the butcher.
