As Isaac stepped inside the factory, he was greeted with a miserable view. Hundreds of workers jammed packed together as they went into a tunnel. The tunnel was like the mouth of a creature as it consumed all light.

The workers had coal all over them as they had a numb look on their face as they mindlessly walked into the tunnel. There was even a coal worker who collapsed but the others didn't even spare a glance at him. The guards took the collapsed worker and threw him out of the factory.

As Isaac saw this gloomy scene, he grinned from ear to ear. 'Such a despairing scene, quite wonderful.' Isaac mused as he walked towards the management room.

There was a loud banging noise on a metallic door that traveled across the factory. The perpetrator was Isaac, he was still banging on the door because there hadn't been a response yet. A whole minute of doing the same thing and the metallic door opened.

A short but fat man stared at Isaac with disheveled brown hair and blood shot eyes.

"Good morning sir." Isaac didn't pay attention to the way the man was staring at him like he was ready to chop him up and simply bowed like a true gentleman.

"What the fuck are you doing banging on this door like a madman!" But all he got from the fat man was an angry shout.

"Earl Viscera sent me here." Isaac, who didn't want to deal with the hassle, just went straight to the point.

When the fat man heard what Isaac said, his mouth came into a twist and just simply told Isaac to follow him.

Isaac obliged and saw the fat man walking into a dead end wall, although he didn't know why he did that he assumed there was probably some secret passage. Isaac was right on the mark as he saw the fat man tap on the dead end wall in a rhythmic pattern, and half a minute later the dead end wall split into two.

"What you're looking for is down there, I can't go beyond from here." The fat man said in a voice that quivered.

"Thank you sir." Isaac ignored the quivering in the man's voice and walked down the passage.

When Isaac reached the end of the passage, there was a white door that looked like it was made out of marble. He reached his end for the door knob that felt like ice to the touch and opened it. Inside the door was a cozy room, there didn't seem to be anything special about the room. It just felt like a home people would live at.

When Isaac entered the room, he saw a black blur and was sent unconscious.

When he woke up Isaac was tied into a chair. There were 3 other people observing him, one of them was a man who looked like a wolf. He had the facial features of one and so did his hair. The other who saw him wake up simply slouched back into the chair and started reading a dictionary of words. He looked like a middle aged dad who was slaving his entire life away. The last one stared at him with childlike curiosity; it was the most comforting gaze at everyone else.

"Hey newbie, glad to see you're awake." The wolf-like man said in a gruff voice.

"You shouldn't have hit him too hard." The person who gazed at him with childlike curiosity berated the wolf-like man, it was quite a comedic scene seeing a little girl berate a giant. The girl had blonde hair with twin tails that made her look quite immature.

"If he couldn't take that, then he clearly isn't fit for the job." The man coldly replied but stopped being so harsh.

"Sorry, ignore him, he is like this to other newbies." The blonde girl bowed and apologized on the gruff man's behalf.

"It's fine, I wanted to catch some tight eyes anyways." Isaac chuckled.

The blonde girl smiled when she heard this and became even friendlier.

"That's so great, but we need you to drink this to prove that you're not a sham." She sounded quite friendly but serious the next moment, like she had schizophrenia.

She tossed Isaac a vial, which had a black liquid inside of it. Isaac wasn't a poison master but he could tell that this was probably something that could kill an average man. Still he obliged and drank it, with no other option. When he drank the vial, his eyes and ears started burning like they were on fire. It felt like his face was slammed into a frying pan.

After 30 minutes of that torturing pain, Isaac who was in a sweat heard the sweet voice of the blond girl again.

"Great, you're confirmed. Now please stare at your heart."

Isaac stared at where his heart was located and saw a card. The card looked like an Ace card, because it had two A on the front and back side. On the front side there was simply just a picture that looked like Isaac, he had closed eyes and was smiling brightly. On the back side of the card was another picture of Isaac. But this time the picture depicted Isaac but he had a black tar like skin and there was a carved eye at the center of the card.

"Don't share your card, to anyone because that's how you usually die early or be turned into a slave." As the blond girl saw Isaac staring at his heart, she gave him friendly advice.
