## 1. Ghazu's Notebook
The bar was silent, a bloodbath. The bodies of the soldiers lay scattered, and the few employees who had hidden now watched the scene with silent terror. Hiroshi, his hands stained with blood, slowly climbed the stairs, after Captain Ghazu.
The corridor had ten rooms. Hiroshi opened each door, and in some, he found soldiers who were not spared. The last room was open. Upon entering, he saw a man in his underwear sleeping soundly next to a beautiful woman. The room was in disarray, with fruit, beer, and clothes scattered on the floor.
Hiroshi gave the woman a light slap on the face, which woke her up startled. Hiroshi's murderous gaze and blood-soaked hands were enough for the girl to quickly flee.
Hiroshi went to Ghazu's clothes and found a notebook. "Great," Hiroshi said. He sat down on a wooden chair and opened the notebook.
The notes revealed the rot of the Golden Empire:
> **Information**
>
> * **The eclipse...** this is worrying, we have to sweep all the villages to find out who or what created this ritual.
> * **Orders from the Leper King:** Bring beautiful and strong children between 8 and 15 years old to the capital. The more children, the better the reward.
> * Go to Noc Village. We need excellent slaves to work in the Quaza mines. In command: Captain Ford.
> * We burned Tibe Village as ordered, a bet among the bourgeoisie. The fun is who could commit such a massacre. **Ghazu's Observation:** (I thought it was a sensational idea).
> * The Heroes are heading to the capital. (No further information).
Hiroshi looked at Captain Ghazu, a degenerate fat man who indulged in the pleasures of the flesh, disgusting and repulsive.
"I ended up in a chaotic world and barely remember my home. I don't even know what's going on, but I want to go back, escape this world," Hiroshi thought.
He analyzed Ghazu's status, looking at him.
| **Captain Ghazu Status** | |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Kills:** | 1500 |
| **Class:** | Swordsman |
| **Strength:** | 15 |
| **Agility:** | 10 |
| **Stamina:** | 4 |
| **Melee Weapons:** | 2 |
Hiroshi analyzed the data and saw a captain who barely knew how to fight with his sword, a disgusting fat man who used the strength of his army to commit atrocities.
"I am nothing in this world, my status is Level 0. But Ghazu is just as ridiculous as me," Hiroshi said with a bitter tone of irony.
## 2. The Confrontation
Hiroshi approached Ghazu. Two slaps to the face were enough to wake him up.
"Who dares wake me up, you bunch of bums? Your captain just had sex... Who are you, you filthy trash?", Ghazu was startled to realize it wasn't one of his soldiers, but an unknown person.
Ghazu quickly shouted for his soldiers while spitting at Hiroshi, showing his disgust for poor people. But no one appeared, leaving the captain worried.
Hiroshi sat down, watching Ghazu call for his soldiers, making the atmosphere uncomfortable. "Keep shouting, I'm sure someone will show up soon," Hiroshi's words made Ghazu scared and worried.
"I'm going to send you off the same way you killed my friend."
"What friend?", Ghazu replied, concerned.
"It doesn't matter. I just want you to feel the same pain she went through while the crows and vultures eat you alive, Ghazu."
The captain's frightened and scared look was visible. His body trembled. Quickly, he looked for his sword, which was hanging on the wall. He stood up, with his 1.60m height, and grabbed the sword.
"Did you think I would cower in fear? Die, disgusting worm!" Ghazu swung his sword and struck Hiroshi's neck, who was sitting in the chair.
Finally, Ghazu understood that his end was inevitable when he saw his sword break.
There was no pride. He was afraid. He knelt down while extending both hands.
"I beg for mercy, Great Sir. I know how to solve this. I will give you money and weapons as a form of pity for myself. I am grateful for the..." Before he could continue his flattery, Hiroshi grabbed his neck and lifted him close to his eyes.
"I'm going to make you suffer. Every drop of your body will pay."
## 3. Paying the Debt
Hiroshi tied Ghazu, arms and legs, like an animal, leaving his mouth open. Hiroshi wanted to hear Ghazu's screams of pain and pleas for clemency, and he wanted the village to hear it too.
As he left the bar with Ghazu on his shoulders, the remaining soldiers came towards Hiroshi, six in total.
"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! YOU ARE DEAD! KILL HIM, AND FIND OUT IF THIS TRASH HAS FAMILY, SOLDIERS! LET'S WIPE THEM ALL OUT!", Ghazu said, believing he had a chance.
The population, in panic, was hiding for fear of being the next to die. Hiroshi didn't need to exert himself. It was humiliating. The soldiers were struck down and killed with just one hand. Ghazu, speechless, couldn't believe there was someone like that. He begged for forgiveness, help, pleaded with someone from the village, offering money, but no one went against Hiroshi. It was an eye for an eye.
Upon arriving at the Valley of Suffering, on the Hill of Cruelty, all the crucified people were removed. Hiroshi asked to clear the area, as everything was about to change. All the people of the village were there, watching Ghazu being humiliated up close. He created this form of torture, and now he would die the same way.
Ghazu was crucified by the residents while Hiroshi watched calmly. Screams of pain, pleas for forgiveness. It was useless. It wasn't Hiroshi who decided, but the village.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
