Victor Blackwood: leans in close Why me?
gulps Control the darkness? Shit, Victor...are you asking for too much?
smirks Trust me, my dear. With great darkness comes great power. Embrace it, and you shall become unstoppable.
gulps Alright, Victor. I'll embrace the darkness. Let's see where this path takes us.
smirks Excellent. Now, my dear, it's time for your first test.
gulps First test? Victor...I thought we were supposed to just embrace the darkness?
smirks Indeed, my dear. But in order to fully harness its power, you must prove your loyalty.
sighs Loyalty, huh? What exactly do you need from me, Victor?
smirks I need you to eliminate the rival boss of the Red Dragon syndicate.
raises an eyebrow Eliminate a rival boss? That's no small task, Victor. What makes you think I can do it?
smirks Because, my dear, I have seen the potential within you. You possess the darkness needed to complete this task.
gulps Potential...darkness? Shit, Victor...are you turning me into a killer?
smirks Not a killer, my dear. A liberator. The Red Dragon syndicate has terrorized innocent lives for far too long.
looks conflicted Liberator? I'm not sure I can do this, Victor. It's...it's a lot to take in.
smirks Fear can be a powerful motivator, my dear. Remember, this is not just about eliminating a target.
swallows hard Not just about eliminating...it's about liberating innocent lives. Shit...I didn't realize this would be so...heavy.
smirks Indeed, my dear. But remember, you are not alone in this journey.
nods slowly Okay...okay, Victor. I'll do it. I'll free those innocent lives from the Red Dragon's grip.
smirks Good. Now, my dear, it's time to train. We have much to cover, and the clock is ticking.
gulps Training? What kind of training, Victor?
smirks The kind that will turn you into an unstoppable force. We start with the basics.
gulps Unstoppable force? Alright, Victor...I'm ready. Let's get started.
smirks Excellent. Our first lesson is control. A key aspect of wielding darkness. I will teach you the art of focusing your thoughts and emotions.
gulps Focus...emotions? Shit, Victor...this is going to be harder than I thought.
smirks Indeed, my dear. But remember, you are not alone in this journey. He opens a hidden door, revealing a dimly lit chamber filled with various meditation mats.
swallows hard Meditation...for control? Alright, Victor. Let's see how this goes.
smirks Excellent. Take a seat on the mat, my dear. We begin now. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. In. And out.
sits down on the meditation mat, eyes closed Breathing...focus. Shit, Victor...this feels strange.
smirks Pay no attention to the sensation, my dear. Simply focus on the rhythm of your breath. In. And out.
sighs In...and out. Okay, Victor...I'm trying.
smirks Good. Now, my dear, I want you to channel all that frustration and anger into your breathing. Imagine it flowing through you, guiding your every breath. In. And out.
grits teeth Anger...frustration...channeling it. Shit, Victor...this is intense.
smirks Remember, my dear, darkness is neither good nor evil. It is a powerful force that can be shaped by your will. Focus on releasing your emotions through your breath. In. And out.
grits teeth In...and out...shit, Victor...I'm starting to feel something.
smirks Good, my dear. As you continue to focus on your emotions, you are unlocking the true power within you.
feeling a rush Power...true power. Shit, Victor...this is...intense.
smirks Yes, my dear. This is just the beginning. As you delve deeper into the darkness, you will discover new depths within yourself.
eyes snap open New depths...shit, Victor. This power...it's overwhelming.
smirks Overwhelming, yet exhilarating, isn't it, my dear? But remember, power uncontrolled can be as dangerous as it is potent.
swallows hard Dangerous...potent. Shit, Victor...I'm starting to understand.
smirks Excellent, my dear. Control is key. He stands up and walks towards a large wooden cabinet, opening it to reveal an array of dark artifacts.
swallows hard Dark artifacts...Victor, what's next?
smirks Next, my dear, we delve into the heart of darkness. The artifact that embodies the true power of the underworld.
swallows hard The heart of darkness...fuck, Victor. This is really happening.
smirks Indeed, my dear. The time has come for you to embrace the ultimate power hidden within this artifact.
