It was dark and cold. The icy cold air mercilessly pierces through my body as I tried to stand on my two heavily injured feet. There were deep cuts and blood oozes out. Not only my feet, the rest of my body also filled with wounds and slashes of what seems like sharp objects.

My eyes were heavy as I struggled to keep them open. I could hardly move and could not make a sound. My throat was parched as if I had not drank any water for a couple of weeks. With much difficulty, I raised my head from the ground and shifted my eyes around to assess my situation.

My vision was hazy at first, but I gradually make sense of my surroundings. I was in a dark-lit room. There were tables and chairs flown about everywhere. Some were broken, some were still properly intact while some were partially damaged. The room was without a doubt a mess and blood were splattered everywhere. There were traces of a ferocious fight on the floor, walls, ceilings and broken windows with glass shards sprawled around the floor. I don't think I need to mention that there are corpses everywhere as well, huh.

Among the many corpses in the room, I laid my gaze on one particular body. A somewhat middle-aged old man with fuzzy beard that is now tainted with fresh blood. He was lying face-up with a sharp knife protruded from his chest. You must wonder why I pay particular attention to his body, huh. Well, this man...no, this serial killer was the bane of my existence. All the corpses that laid lifeless in this room, were this man's doing.

But, now this man is dead. DEAD! HAHAHAHA! Finally DEAD! I felt an immense surge of emotions within me at the thought. Joy, hatred, anguish, despair...while a single tear found its way down my cheek.

[*Sob sob*...father...mother...I have finally avenged you...UWAAAAH!!!] Akira.

I screamed my lungs out. I cried and cried like there's no tomorrow. I have endured so much pain for the last 5 years. And now, I finally been freed from this man. That's right. The one that killed this man, was ME.

My lonely battle has finally come to an end, or so I thought...
