That night, I was about to freeze to death on the street when a down-on-his-luck boy took off his jacket and tossed it to me. To survive, I latched onto him and refused to let go. It wasn't until much later that I found out he was once the only heir to Soverille's richest family. His parents were murdered, his family's empire snatched away, and he, once the city's golden prince, was dragged down to rock bottom. For revenge, he traded away both his body and soul, no matter the cost. Later, he became a ruthless legend in business, a reaper everyone feared. Every bad guy paid the price. But on a quiet afternoon, he plunged a knife into his own chest. All he left me were two sentences. He said, "The world is a cold place, but I gave you every bit of warmth I had. I hope you can still find it in your heart to love this world."
