Episode 3: The Making of a Monster

The blood on Damien's hands had dried, but the hunger inside him had only begun to grow. The more he killed, the stronger he felt. No remorse. No second thoughts. Just power.

Salazar saw the potential in him and wasted no time molding Damien into his most lethal weapon. He wasn't just another street thug anymore—he was being trained for something bigger.

Gunfights in abandoned buildings. Knife combat in dark alleys. Torture lessons in hidden basements. Every skill was sharpened like a blade, every weakness burned out of him.

At 20, Damien's name was whispered in fear. "The Reaper," they called him. If you crossed the Black Vultures, it was Damien who came for you.

But even monsters have moments of doubt. One night, after a brutal hit on a rival gang, Damien found himself alone on a rooftop, staring at the city lights. Was this all he was meant to be? A killer in the shadows?

His thoughts were interrupted by Salazar's voice behind him. "Power isn't about asking questions, Damien. It's about taking what's yours."

And so, he buried his doubts. He silenced the voice inside him that asked if there was another way.

Because the truth was, he loved the power.

And he wasn't done yet.
