As I wake up from yet another nightmarish dream, the echoes of suffering still reverberate within me. The cruelty of this world has left an indelible mark on my soul, and it's a burden I cannot bear alone. The pain I feel, the questions that plague my mind—they are not mine alone. Countless others have faced similar torment and anguish. Injustice knows no boundaries, sparing neither age nor gender.

  It is a disheartening truth that people continually find themselves entangled in a web of suffering. Some may seek solace in assigning blame to a higher power, while others point fingers at the inherent flaws of humanity itself. Regardless of the answers we seek, the constant presence of cruelty in our lives remains undeniable.

  I am Jade, a twenty-year-old who has personally experienced tragedy. After enduring years of unrelenting anguish, I have reached a decision. I will put an end to this vicious cycle of injustice with my own hands. The path I have chosen will undoubtedly be treacherous, but I understand that true accomplishment cannot be attained without sacrifice and struggle. As I embark on this bloody journey, I am aware that my humanity may be compromised, but the eradication of cruelty takes precedence over all else. I will not hesitate to eliminate those who obstruct my path, for mercy has no place in my quest. Whether I become a hero or a harbinger of disaster to others, it matters not. My sole focus is achieving my objective, irrespective of how the world perceives me.

  "Jade, remember not to wield your power to destroy lives. Do not become a monster like your father," a voice echoes in my mind.

  Bang!

  The sound of a gunshot shatters the silence, plunging me back into a haunting memory. The image of a bullet piercing my mother's head before me is etched forever in my mind.

  "Damn it!" I curse, consumed by frustration.

  "Why am I tormented by this recurring nightmare? It will haunt me until the end huh," I silently contemplate.

  Now that I am awake, it is time to prepare for my impending journey. I recognize the potential impact of my past trauma on my actions, but my obsession with this goal overrides all else. I am fully aware of the thorny path that lies ahead, yet hesitation has no place in my heart.

  This marks the beginning of Jade's harrowing journey.
