Darken lived as something less than a slave, less than a human. Under the mercy of a mad merchant, his existence was nothing more than an extension of submission—a neglected being, unworthy of even a passing glance. Even the pigs received more care than he did, and the serfs knew a mercy he had never tasted. Hunger was not just a fleeting sensation; it had become a constant companion, clinging to him like a shadow. and Pain was not the result of random blows but a perpetual reality, repeating without end.  

Yet even in a world like this, there are moments that ignite the spark of change.  
When an unknown force attacked the merchant caravan, chaos erupted—screams, flames, blood. Escape was not a choice for Darken but an instinct, a drive untainted by hope, but fueled solely by pure fear. Every step was a desperate grasp at life, but his frail body failed him, sending him tumbling unnoticed off a towering cliff into the abyss of the sea.  

The water invaded his lungs, and death seemed a welcome relief, something to embrace. But fate had already carved a different path.  
On an unfamiliar shore, between the crawling heat of the sand and the whisper of the gentle breeze, Darken opened his eyes for the first time—to find himself looking at the world through the eyes of a free man, unchained, unclaimed. Yet for someone who had never tasted freedom before, its weight might be something entirely different.

Note: Chapters are published every four or five days, and at most, every week.

After some thought, I decided to rewrite this story and shorten the chapters so that the story would be followable, especially since its chapters are very long and tiring. Therefore, it was decided to create an improved version of the novel, and it will be published before the end of this year or the beginning of the new year.


Chapter 29 - NEW VERSION WILL COMEING!
