“And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." - Freidrich Nietzsche *** Leon Estes once had the best life. With perfect grades in school, popular, handsome, and with a loving family, Leon was living the very example of perfect. But it apparently could not last. His lovely and kind father and mother. Both murdered in cold blood. His little sister, who was only 3-years-old. Kidnapped. And the people who had done it weren’t simply going to let another member of the family live. They had dragged Leon to a secluded hideout, shot him at close range, cut off his limbs, and lit a fire on his corpse, mocking him as he burned. His heart stopped beating, his body slowly fell apart, and his pulse stopped. However, Leon didn’t die. And when he eventually woke up, he had but one word in his mind. ‘Revenge.’ [You have entered the Abyss] [Endure the Darkness] *** Release Schedule  I will release one chapter per day.
