The Beginning_The Draven Reaper

"Why, why did things need to be like this"

the thought soared through Derek's mind for the millionth time today, it was a question that constantly confused and angered Derek why did they have to adopt him? why did his real parents have to abandon him ?why did everything have to just get worse day after day? why had god forsaken? why did his "family" have to trreat him in such away? he was having such a thought as he looked around his bedroom, although the empty room was more a cell then a bedroom, not even a bed only the bucket he had to use for relieving himself. his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of keys and footsteps, he knew what was coming his "sisters" so called play time.

"just a little longer" Derek thought as he saw his chance to escape nearing

after being dragged out of his room and through a shower his first in weeks his sister had begun to "play with her little brother" at least that's what the sadistic woman called it, Derek being not allowed to wear clothes was a rule enforced in order to allow the women of the family to have easy access to their favourite past time, that past time involving Derek and a lot of pain similar to the men of the family but in a more sexual and primal manner.

just as he was about to enter the "play room" he mustered up as much courage as he continued to stare at the key in his sisters hand as soon as she had opened the door Derek reached for the keys with one hand while driving a shoulder into his sister pushing her into the room and maintaining possession of the keys, his sister grunted and screamed as she realised what was about to happen but Derek didn't care as he locked the door behind her and ran, he had been studying vigorously whenever he was let outside, where he could escape and what escape route he could take, he knew this was his only chance. He used as much strength as he could to run as fast as possible for the door weaving around multiple corners and hallways in this labyrinth of a mansion, soon he found it, the door he needed he would be free.

"WHAT THE FUCK, WHERES THAT FUCKING MUTT GONE!"

the roar of his father having found his daughter was deafening and it sent literal shivers down the entire body of Derek, he was frozen not even meters away from freedom but the fear stopped him he couldn't move he was so scared so utterly terrified of his father that he almost felt like running back and apologizing with all his heart just so he could get off easier, but that exact thought was his saving grace, realising he'd rather just die then go back he manage to pull himself out of his trace and reached the door, opening the door to the balcony he knew this was it he ran to the railing at full speed reaching it in seconds.

"OI MUTT WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'R GOING!" his father roared once again from behind him

Derek now standing on the railing of the 5 story tall mansion balcony turned around to take one final look at the thing that tormented him for 16 years of his life, looking at the burly 6"9' tall bull of a man that was his adoptive father, Derek wondered how he got here so fast considering how fat the man was before fear ran through every inch of his body and the memory of everything he had ever done to him resurfaced resulting in unfathomable pain going through his entire body, he thought of everything he wanted to say to this man all that time, how he was literal scum of the earth how he was the devil himself but he knew saying anything of that would only make the sadistic fuck happy, then he realised what he should say the only way to perfectly sum up everything.. the only thing that could possibly anger the sadistic pig.

"fuck you, you fat pig fuck" Derek said with a smile on his face.

he knew it had the affect he wanted as the man looked more infuriated than he had ever seen him, his nostrils flared as his veins popped the man was furious, Derek also knew that the man in front of him wasn't really all that angry at the words he said, at least not as angry as he was at Derek's smile, the thought of Derek ever having any kind of happiness infuriated the man beyond belief, this man this thing was a cultist of a sort a very prominent person in an obscure and secret religion, and his hate for Derek had stemmed from this religion, as the religion would have you believe that Derek's pure red eyes and unbelievably white hair was impure was a mutation that needed to be purged.

before his father could say anything Derek leapt from the balcony feeling the weightlessness and pure ecstasy at his short but real freedom, to Derek's surprise and happiness his life didn't flash through his brain the only thing that he thought of was how beautiful the night sky was, the stars were absolutely stunning it was the first time he had seen them in over ten years, he had completely forgotten about them, he noticed a shooting star and remember the superstition, wish upon a star and it will be granted, ear centimetres away from the ground he made his wish, the only wish he would ever have, the only thing he dreamed about.

"i want to be free"

then black nothingness as Derek lost consciousness.

"welcome Derek, to the world of your dreams, a place you can live to your full potential"

a voice rang it sounded like it came from all directions, surprise and confusing racked Derek's mind when he opened his eyes realising he wasn't dead then instant fear, completely forgetting the words of the unknown voice the fear came from the view as Derek looked around a dark empty room made of stone of some sort, instantly believing he had survived and was back in that horrid mansion, although in a new room, probably more secure he thought. Then he realised there was no door at the entrance the doorway was completely bare and open, suddenly remember what he heard not even minutes earlier he reeled, he couldn't understand for one where the voice came from nowhere around him was there any source possible of such a voice and it had to of been close considering how clear and perfect it sounded, staring around aimlessly he couldn't understand anything that was happening. Suddenly he heard a massive low growl coming from outside the room he was in that terrified him, it was something beyond anything he could imagine he had no idea what kind a of creature could possibly create such a sound but then he no longer need to imagine, as it came around toward the doorway looking and and looking eyes with Derek's red eyes, the creature was liek a mix between a mangled dogs corpse and a gorilla it was absolutely massive looking at said creature Derek realised he couldn't be on earth anymore and punctuated by the strange phenomena floating above the creature.

[Giant Undead Dog (level:8)(23-285)]

"level 8" what did that mean was this some kind of game it only further confused the already borderline insane Derek, rolling with the thought he surmised that the 23 might be the creatures health, its injured so despite its obvious size strength probably speed and just overall advantage it had over the naked weak starved me i might be able to survive this, with that thought and the small iota of hoe now instilled in his mind, he prepared himself as the creature looked ready to pounce, the undead dog leapt forward clamping down around Derek's left shoulder, immense pain sht through his body as he screamed out but considering all he had been through it was nearly the worse pain he felt, he could deal with it he could spin this thinking fast he reached around with his right hand, feeling something loose and hard on the ground looking over as the dog continued to rip through his flesh sending blood, meat and dog spit everywhere, he saw what it was, laying just in arms reach was a broken sword dulled and rusted. "good enough" he thought grabbing the broken sword and jamming it into the side of the neck of the dog with all his strength more blood spraying everywhere drowning Derek in it he continued stabbing furiously until he felt the dogs jaw loosen and the weight of the animal fall on top of him squishing him.
