They called me Hellbent. They named me a monster, an Abyssal Phantom given flesh to torment the world. They spent a decade trying to kill what I represented, and martyred my body. I spent thirteen years in hell for that before I felt I’d served my time and took the escape I’d left myself. Now I walk the world again, starting over from the bottom, freed from all the inertia the path my previous life held. My choices are my own again, and I intend to take full advantage of that privilege. This time, I will live my life my way. No matter what it takes, no matter who I have to kill or what I have to burn, I intend to be the only hand on the rudder of my life.
