Chapitre 2:

Wei was probably not born in the slum. However, he had no memory before that. Therefore, He did not even know is exact age. He only knew he was probably between 14 and 16 years old. Probably closer to 14 since he was so small. He knew he was in Zao country and more precisely in Lie city. He also knew there were mortals and cultivators that were trying to become immortals. That was the full amount of his knowledge of this world. Since he could remember Wei had this dream of getting rich and getting out of here. He wanted to become a cultivator. Not for eternal life but to have adventures, roam the whole world. However, he was gonna die having done nothing and knowing nothing.

Wei woke up to the smell of shit and piss. The smell was so strong that he threw up in his mouth. He was in a small dark room chained to the wall. Time passed but he didn't know if it was days or hours. Suddenly he heard a whistle coming from the corridor and the door opened. The fat man himself walked in with a small box in his hand and smiled at him:

"Sorry to make you wait, I had things to take care of"

He walked to the small table to Wei's right and opened the small box. Little knifes of all sorts were orderly arranged. There was curved and straight ones as well as some that looked like a pigtail. Wei was afraid like

he had never been. Yet, he would not beg since there was no way he would survive. At least he would go with his head held up high. The fat man whistled again, almost dancing which looked weird since his legs were very short. He took a small butcher knife stared at it with a smile then turned his head to look at Wei.

"Let's begin with your fingers."

He grabbed his thumb in his greasy hands and with one big swoop tried to cut it. However, it was no sharp enough and it got stuck on his bone. Wei screamed from the bottom of his lungs as tears ran down his cheeks.

"Sorry I haven't used them in a while. I'll go sharpen them "he said

The monster left while Wei kept crying. Huge amounts of blood dripped from his hand. He waited for what felt like an eternity but he was not in a hurry for that devil to come back. Unfortunately, The fat man did come back. Right behind him was a big black dog on a leash.

"Sorry had to take the dog out. I brought him so that he could see his future meal."

He had a good laugh then attached the dog to the table. He picked the same bloody knife he had used before and slowly cut the finger. This time it was much more easy like cutting butter. It took him hours to cut every finger due to the man was enjoying this too much. Wei had screamed so much his voice had died. You could still hear his wails echoing through. Now he was mumbling, his eyes had lost the light that was once in them. He looked like a crazy person.

"What should I do next" the fat man wondered "I have to hurry before he dies from losing too much blood"

He walked back to his little box of knives and pondered for a minute. Accordingly, he decided to pick a large blade, curved at the spot. The man turned to face Wei and smiled

"I'm going to cut every tendons you have. This might take a while"

Wei begged. any pride he had, had long left. Yet he never begged the man to life but to die. You would not believe how many tendons a human has. The shoulders, the arms, the hips, the legs as well as the hands and feet. When it finally ended Wei had been unconscious for a while and was barely even alive. The fat demon took him out of the chains. Wei fell on the floor in his own blood and piss.

He whistled to the dog while he untied the leash and said

"Go ahead you can eat him"

He did not need to say that twice as the dog jumped to his throat finally giving him the death he had been asking for
