CHAPTER 1: THE MAN CALLED GOD

The rain pelted down relentlessly, drumming a chaotic rhythm on the rooftop of the abandoned warehouse. Zack stood in the shadows, his silhouette barely discernible amidst the gloom. His breath mingled with the misty air as he surveyed the desolate surroundings, a faint glint in his eyes betraying the storm brewing within him.

He was a man of few words, a figure shrouded in mystery and whispers. They called him "God," a nickname earned not through divine intervention but by the sheer force of his will and prowess in the underworld.

Tonight, Zack awaited a clandestine meeting, his senses honed to every sound and movement around him. His hand rested lightly on the hilt of his concealed weapon, a familiar weight that brought both comfort and a foreboding sense of imminent danger.

Footsteps echoed in the distance, steady and deliberate. Zack's muscles tensed, his mind calculating every possible outcome. As figures emerged from the murky haze, he recognized them - the notorious cartel enforcers, their grim faces a testament to their lethal reputation.

Their leader, Santiago, stepped forward, a twisted grin etched on his scarred face. "Zack," he drawled, the name rolling off his tongue like a challenge. "Word on the street is you're becoming quite the legend. But legends, they fade, disappear."

Zack remained unfazed, his gaze steady. "Not all legends die, Santiago. Some evolve."

The tension crackled in the air, the atmosphere charged with impending violence. With lightning speed, Santiago's men drew their weapons, aiming at Zack. But before a shot could be fired, Zack moved, a blur of calculated motion. Shots rang out in rapid succession, the warehouse reverberating with the sound of gunfire.

When the echoes faded, Zack stood alone amidst fallen adversaries. His coat billowed in the wind, rain cascading off its dark surface. He glanced at the horizon, a storm brewing both within and beyond the skies.

As he disappeared into the night, a whispered legend took flight, carrying the name of Zack, a man called God, into the heart of the underworld.
