Woodlin is one such cursed forest full of allure. Legend has it that a long time ago, a mysterious rich man named Wood made his home here with his beautiful wife, when it was just a barren land, with few trees and no crops to grow. Because the environment here was so harsh, Wood's wife was very sad and washed her face with tears every day. In order to please his wife, Wood hired people to bring in trees from the distant Rhodoc Mountains, and planted them one by one, and over time, it became one of the largest forests in the whole of Calradia. It is said that after Wood's death, his wife buried him and his vast fortune deep in the forest.

At first, people didn't get much interest in the legend, after all, it was just a legend. Until one day, after some hunters who dared to enter the forest moved a large basket of gold, the forest sparked a gold rush. But the good times were short-lived, and countless expeditions, mercenary groups, and even the kingdom's special gold digging brigade tried to find this hidden treasure, only to get lost in this forest that would not see the light of day, or become a meal for those ferocious beasts. Those who escaped said that the forest was inhabited by creatures more terrible than wild beasts, and over time it became a terrifying curse. Hardly anyone is trying to venture into the depths anymore, except for a few people who occasionally try their luck on the outskirts of the forest to see if they can pick up a dollar or two of valuable things.

However, at this moment, there is a man limping through this forest that no one cares about for a long time.

The man was wearing expensive clothes, but some of them were a little mutilated, with a pair of animal skin boots on his feet, which could be vaguely seen to be cracked, and several daggers were stuck in his waist, but he did not hold a handful of them in his hand. He didn't look like an experienced hunter, or some kind of adventurer who had been commissioned to go on his own road, but like a street thug who had strayed into the place. But he wasn't a gangster, nor was he here to hunt for treasure. He was just a little criminal, who did things he shouldn't have done and provoked people he shouldn't have provoked, and he was being chased and killed by his enemies at this time, and he was forced to be helpless, so he fled into the deep forest where ordinary people dare not set foot to avoid the limelight. His name is Rorschach, a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance, who was originally a clergyman in Decherim's court, and usually likes to take advantage of his power to do some shady things. One day, when he woke up in a young woman's bed, he found that it was Duke Warren's fourth wife, the youngest, and Duke Warren, who was notoriously flawed and cruel. Before poor Rorschach could react, his life was ruined, and he had to flee from De Hem in a hurry. And Duke Warren was indeed a very decisive man, and immediately sent several of his cronies to arrest this little priest who dared to sleep with his own woman, and also issued a reward order in his own territory, and if he wanted to go, he must be captured alive, because he had to have some fun, otherwise his wives would suffer.

Rorschach has been on the run for many days, physically and mentally exhausted, and his leg has been injured again, not only is it difficult to move, but because he cannot get timely treatment, he may also die due to wound infection, and now he is very aggrieved and resentful.

"Damn the nobleman, damn the Duke of Warren!" Rorschach continued his way back a few hours to the depths of the land as he slurred insults at him for making him the culprit of the field.

"You've got eight wives! I—I'm just sharing one!" Rorschach couldn't walk, so he found a tree trunk and sat down. "Damn, she invited me on her own initiative!Hmph, you old whore must not be satisfied with your wife!" Rorschach continued to talk to himself, trying to slander Duke Warren in order to make his heart feel better.

And Rorschach didn't notice that in the distance, something was already eyeing him.

Rorschach sat for a while, regained some strength, and found that it was already getting a little darker. So he went around collecting firewood and preparing for camping.

After a while, the fire rose up, and Rorschach sat down by the campfire, felt in his pocket, and found that only one cookie was left. "Great, now I'm going hungry again. Rorschach said helplessly. Rorschach stared at the blazing flames, listened to the sounds of insects around him, and ate the tasteless biscuits, and finally couldn't help but burst into his emotions. "Great, Almighty, Lord Embra, why should I suffer such a sin, why would you abandon your most faithful servant!" "I should not have stayed in this wilderness and suffered such a sin! I should have eaten a sumptuous dinner! I enjoyed the worship of the untouchables! I slept on the silk beds with my noble ladies in my arms!" Rorschach grumbled in a low voice, "Since you have abandoned me, I don't need to serve you!" Rorschach ripped the Embra badge off his neck and threw it into the flames.

Sometimes, retribution comes a little faster than expected. At this moment, some unusual movements suddenly came from the surrounding jungle. Rorschach was so frightened that he immediately scrambled to his feet and drew his dagger. The sound was getting closer, but Rorschach didn't dare to make a sound, he didn't know if it was the fire that attracted the bounty hunter, or some beast, or ...... Something worse.

The sound of "swish" was getting closer and closer, Rorschach looked at the jungle nervously, his palms were full of sweat, his body couldn't stop trembling, he was afraid of being caught, but he was even more afraid of death. He didn't want to die in the mouth of some beast.

And the more you don't want to encounter something, the more it will happen. As a dark figure slowly emerged from the darkness, Rorschach looked at it in horror - it was a giant wolf! One of Calradia's most feared predators, almost a nightmare for Rorschach, who was largely defenseless! Because the giant wolf did not run at the sight of fire, as his relatives did, and was very patient, and few of its prey were alive. However, the number of giant wolves is very rare, and they generally only appear in children's bedtime stories.

The giant wolf slowly circled Rorschach, an emotionless, hunter's eye staring at him. Rorschach shuddered and stiffened his steps, trying to stop the wolf with the campfire.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the flames in the campfire instantly dimmed, and at this moment, the giant wolf launched an attack, and a run-up pounced on Rorschach. Rorschach was already frightened, and quickly turned around and ran, but how could he outrun the giant wolf. He didn't have to run a few steps before he caught up, and the wolf bit him down on his left leg. Rorschach let out a scream of pain, turned around and stabbed the giant wolf with a dagger, and after a few random stabs, he happened to stab the giant wolf in the nose, and the giant wolf whimpered in pain and let go of the bitten Rorschach. Rorschach dragged his injured left leg and ran away in disarray.

Due to the failure to stop the bleeding in time, some of the Rorschach, who had lost too much blood, were already confused and could no longer walk, so they could only sit down against the trunk of the tree again. After not being able to eat a full meal for a few days, and being injured again, and now still in the deserted woods, it can be said that Rorschach is completely cornered.

Rorschach gulped in the air, but gradually felt that it was becoming a little difficult to breathe, and his consciousness was gradually blurred. "I hate this biting beast! I hate the noble lord who is high up! I hate the **** who can't save him!" the collapsed Rorschach cursed loudly, draining from his body along with his life. But Rorschach was unwilling, he didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die, he couldn't help crying loudly. "Help, help, who's going to save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" he cried out in despair, even though the odds of bringing in a beast were far greater than summoning a savior.

Rorschach kept screaming until he couldn't do it anymore, he felt his eyelids grow heavier, and finally slowly closed his eyes.

"Poor, poor, poor man. Suddenly, Rorschach faintly heard a deep voice echoing in his head.

"Who's who, who's talking. Rorschach asked, but he didn't open his mouth, just thought in his head.

"Oh, poor man, why don't you introduce yourself first, who are you?" said the man playfully.

The mysterious voice asked, "Me...... I am Rorschach of Aleb, and I am a faithful servant of Lord Embra......" Rorschach subconsciously replied, "No...... No...... I am not Embra's servant, I have been abandoned by her. ”

"Oh, Rorschach, poor Rorschach, you have not been abandoned, you have never been abandoned by Embra. You have abandoned the God you believe in! ”

"What do you mean? Who the hell are you?" Rorschach opened his eyes with great difficulty, only to find that the scene around him had become unfamiliar, everything had disappeared, there were no towering trees, no weeds on the ground, it had become a pitch black, bottomless pitch black, terrifying.

Rorschach looked around in surprise, he didn't understand what was going on, could it be that he was already dead?

"Where is this? Where am I? Am I dead? Are you the angel who came to pick me up?" cried Rorschach, hoping to find out what was going on with him.

"Oh, you have a good sense of humor, don't you? No! you're wrong! Big wrong!" The man suddenly became agitated, "I'm an angel?" hahahaha! I'm not an angel! If you say that, I'm more like, well, I'm more like a 'demon' in your doorway. ”

"'Demons'? this can't be, there are no 'demons' in this world, it's just, it's just a little trick of the church, it can't be true!" Rorschach said tremblingly, resisting the urge to pee his pants.

"Well, 'demon' is just a word, just like isn't 'god' just a symbol to you?" the man said lazily, "but you don't need to panic too much, poor Rorschach, you're not dead yet, for now. "Don't worry, I'm here to save you, my dear Mr. Rorschach, sneer. ”

"Save me, you mean, you're going to save my life?" the man's words, like Rorschach's life-saving straw, made Rorschach excited. He fell to his knees on the dark floor, "Oh, gracious sir, please allow me to offer my most sincere blessings...... "Shut up! I don't want to hear your nonsense!" The man suddenly became furious, and Rorschach fell to the ground without moving.

"Now, I have to ask you a few questions to see if your life is worth saving me. ”

"First question, why are you here? ”

"I ...... I was hunted down by the enemy, and in order to save my life, I ran here to avoid the limelight......" Rorschach said with a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the surrounding landscape changes to De Herim's court, and Rorschach sees the beautiful young woman leaning against the bedroom door beckoning to him, while behind him is the enraged Duke Warren. Duke Warren cut off his wife's head with a single sword, and the blood stained his white beard red. He moved his lips as if to say, "You're next."

Rorschach screamed in shame and managed to wet his pants. Just as he was about to be slashed, the landscape around him changed back to pitch black.

"Don't try to deceive me, Rorschach of Alex, I know everything about you, you can't fool me, hehehehe, I know that you killed your own parents with your own hands, just to eat two mouthfuls of white bread, I know that you have killed countless priests just to keep your position, I know that not only do you often go to the bed of your wives, but you always trick countless young girls into your bed on the pretext of choosing saints. The man spoke of Rorschach's past as if he were saying something interesting: "You are a complete scumbag, aren't you? Now, answer my second question, will you repent of your crimes? You won't have a second chance, answer me honestly." The man asked him a second question in a relaxed tone. ”

"I ...... I ......" Rorschach began to think back on his life, to think back to everything he had done, and eventually, he said what he really thought in his heart: "No! No! I won't repent! Why should I repent! My parents are stupid! I should have been a member of high society! I had to live on the streets because of their stupid glory! They made me suffer! I was tormented! They deserve to die!" Rorschach's face turned hideous, "I went through so many ups and downs to get into the court as an errand boy! How can I give it to others! It's that they don't know what to do!" I'm going to fight against me!" "And the village women! they hadn't even seen De Herim! it wasn't because I had the opportunity to get into the city!" Rorschach was a little hysterical, "they all did it themselves! they did it all themselves!" Rorschach growled.

"Snort, sneer, I'm starting to like you, Mr. Rorschach. The man said. "You are willing to sacrifice others for your own glory and wealth, which is a rare and precious quality. "Now, tell me, Rorschach of Alex, do you want to live?"

"I don't want to die like this!"

"Why? Why do you want to live? What do you want?"

"I'm going to get revenge! I'm going to tear down the high lords! I'm supposed to be the one who enjoys it all! I shouldn't be those idiots! I'm going to be a fool like Warren's old thief!"

"Give your body, your soul, your only master!" the man laughed maniacally, "Now, let's go together for 'revenge.'" ”

Rorschach felt an excruciating pain, and then struggled and passed out. When he woke up again, he found himself standing at the exit of the forest, and there was a dark mark on his chest, like some kind of tree, from which there was a faint snicker, all of which reminded Rorschach that this was not a dream, but reality. He has betrayed his soul to the devil, and now he is going to take the devil with him to take revenge on those who have disrespected him......
