The monster grabbed me by the neck and carried me to eye level with him. It was a terrifying face, because it was a human face, and it was the closest thing to a human being compared to his whole body. His poison gas mask glowed with a ghostly glow, pumping an alchemical substance that was not mixed with air, and his eyes somehow glowed brighter. Thoughtfully. When he saw my fear, those eyes seemed to smile.

"Son of Zuan. What's your name?" he said the growler, bringing me closer. He had a strong accent, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Every word he uttered bombarded my perseverance. Every word is filled with the power of hatred.

I can't say a whole word.

He laughed maniacally. "The baron, do you know him?, like many people, he wants to rule the city, to drive countless people into the abyss, to dig up this ......" he took a sharp breath, stirring up a cyclone. ”...... This tragic pain. Now that he no longer exists, what kills him is what gives him supreme power. But you, you stinky mouse, have survived in this filthy and filthy homeland. So, tell me, who's stronger, who's going to live?"

Suddenly, I fell to the ground and hit my friends. They trembled and coughed, just like the baron just now. pants are foaming at the mouth. And Zori ...... I closed my eyes with tears in my eyes, not wanting to see what happened to her.

"Get out," the monster said. "Tell this city how you survived, how the baron died. You are my witness, the first of thousands. ”

I hesitated.

"Get out!" he roared. Then I saw Zori, who was sobbing, reaching out with the last of her strength for help. I didn't want this scene to be the final memory of her in my heart. What I want to remember is her smile. Even now.

But I started running again, running through the streets of Zaun.

Can you imagine what it feels like? It's like there's a fire in your lungs, and you're out of breath. It dawned on me that my scream was actually the message it was asking me to deliver.

I survived. My friends didn't.

I deserve to live.

Urgart was once a powerful executioner in Noxus, but the empire for which he killed so much ended up betraying him. The chains bound him and forced him to learn the true meaning of power in a new place—the prison pit deep beneath Zaun, the "Sinking Hook". When a disaster wreaks havoc in the city of Zaun, Ergarth takes the opportunity to break ground and dominate the criminal underworld of Zaun. The chains that once enslaved him are now the tools of his prey, and he will baptize his second home with gunfire, purge the undeserving, and forge Zaun into a furnace of pain.

Urgarte has always believed that he is a qualified person. As the executioner of the weak, he is the living symbol of Noxus's idea that only power is the truth that governs all things. Therefore, every time he wields the executioner's axe, he is proclaiming this idea to the world. His glory grew higher and higher with the pile of corpses behind him, and his majesty was also the guarantee of military discipline for countless warbands.

Even so, one word from the conspirator was enough to turn his life upside down. Urgart was ordered to travel to distant Zaun to disrupt a supposed plot against the rulers of Noxus, but by the time he found out he had been tricked, it was too late. While he was away from the royal capital, the usurper Svein had seized control of Noxus. Surrounded by the spies of the Alchemy Baron, Ergarth was dragged into the alchemy technology pit at the bottom of Zaun. Everything he believed was a lie, and he was furious, but at this time he was powerless. In the end, he lost all his qualifications and could only silently endure the harsh conditions in the pit and wait for his own death.

In "Sinking Hook", death comes in many forms......

The wardens of the mines, the Countess of Voss, occasionally accepted painful confessions and confessions from prisoners under their torments, and the reward was to be set free—with her blade. The screams echoing in the tunnel made Urgart gradually understand the wonders of Zaun. There is something special about this city, something extraordinary and deep-seated, even the throats of dying people spraying blood speak of the city's treasures. Urgart was puzzled until one day he was brought before the Countess of Voss. He was scared, afraid that she would destroy herself completely.

But as the countess's blade sliced into his flesh, Urgat realized that his body was already battered and painful, and that the wounds caused by Voss were not worth mentioning. "Hooking" made him stronger, far beyond the limits he might have imagined as an executioner.

Zaun's secret treasure is pain. His maniacal laughter drove Countess Voss back to the surface, and chaos reigned underground.

Urgart has seized control of the prison and is ecstatic in a new survival trial. Realizing that his body was the most vulnerable thing, he replaced them with looted mechanical parts. These parts were originally necessary for some people to survive, but anything necessary was the mother of pain.

The guards could no longer enter the area that Urgart had taken from Voss. And the prisoners there were more afraid of their new masters than they were of Voss. Many others have even begun to worship Ergarth fanatically, as they are forced to accept his indoctrination about the nature of power, and those who do not listen are left to face Ergarth's iron fist.

With a Noxian spy arriving in Hook, Urgart is finally forced to confront his past. Although the spies recognized Urgart and helped him escape, Urgart beat him mercilessly and threw his broken body into the abyss.

Urgarte realizes that it is not power that has ruled Noxus all along, but people, and people are weak. There should be no rulers, no lies, no pure chaos that stands in the way of survival. Ergarth provoked a riot and ignited the alchemy technology pipelines in the mines, producing explosions comparable to those of Zaun when he was first born. The explosion shook the city above, blasting cracks in the prison. Many prisoners died, and thousands disappeared into the trench area below the city. But those who are qualified to survive, live as always.

Since then, the healing of Urgat's horrors has intensified. Himself a terrifying blend of industrial machinery and Noxus' cruelty, he slaughtered the alchemy barons and their servants one by one, while also gathering his own followers among the most oppressed people of Zaun.
