Vengeance in the Valley (W/ Innerself)

The man who killed your parents should have ended your life as well. You tried to stand against him untrained, furious, and desperate. Yet that single act of defiance earned you something worse than death. He spared you. When you wake, you are bound in iron, carried through rain and stone toward Crimson Valley, a place that does not promise survival, only judgment. There, captives are not trained or redeemed. They are sent to face the trials of the valley. The weak will fail. The strong are claimed by sects that watch from the shadows. Now the only thing of your past life that has followed you into the Valley is vengeance. Not justice. Not honor. The man known across the land as the True Blade still walks freely, selling his sword to the highest bidder, untouched by law or remorse. To ever stand before him again, hatred will not be enough. You must endure trials meant to break the body, choices meant to bring regret, and a world that rewards strength without mercy. Survival is merely the first step. Only those willing to pay the price of power will ever earn the right to settle their debts in blood. (Thanks to LewdLeah for InnerSelf) (A more darker story here, hope you enjoy!
