An Extra’s POV

What is life? What is death?

Despite how long humanity has lived in this world, none of these two concepts have been satisfactorily answered or explored.

However, most would agree with their simple definition.

Life is simply the concept that best explains the state of being alive.

Death… is the opposite.

To experience death means to die…

Many proclaim to know what happens after death—eternal paradise, or torment, or even a limbo.

But no one knows for sure.

And so, for many, death is the ultimate end to anyone.

Everything is forever lost and fades into obscurity—as if it never existed.

Like tears in rain.

Ogun's eyes bulged as his weapon shattered right in front of him.

The pressure, as well as the force he had generated trying to pull his weapon away, caused his hulking body to fly back.

"Guh!" He grunted as his ebony body slid on the dirty ground.

Despite his skin being impenetrable, the sensation felt deeply uncomfortable.

Ogun held his head with one hand and shook it.

"Urgh…" He let out a deep breath and looked in front of him, hoping all that happened was just in his head.

However, upon seeing the masked man's outstretched hand and pieces of his club dropping from his grasp, he could no longer deny it.

The masked man had destroyed his club.

"My name is Ralyks, and while this wasn't my initial plan… I'm going to have to kill you here."

As those words reverberated in the night air, Ogun felt his body shake.

He could see from the glowing crimson eyes of his enemy that he was absolutely serious.

'Why?!'

No; Ogun realized how strange his thought process was.

In the first place, why wouldn't he kill him?

They were enemies, and Ogun would have done the same to him within a heartbeat.

In the Criminal Underworld, it was the fate of the loser to die—usually painful deaths—in the advent of the winner's triumph.

There was nothing strange about it.
