Prologue

Every city has its hidden shadowy corners where sunlight never shines. In these corners lingers a pervasive, musty odour, accompanied by disease-covered rats, smelly trash, and sewers with a dangerous blend of blue and greenish liquids. No ordinary individual would ever dare to venture into such places that are synonymous with the word "filth."

"Ah... help me... help... is anyone out there?! Help me!"

A hand desperately to hoist itself up on a wall covered in graffiti. Despairing cries escaped her mouth. She was scantily clad, only dressed in a short T-shirt. There was no means for her to conceal her exposed lower half; she wore no pants, not even underwear. She stood as a beacon of light amidst the dark, grim surroundings.

Her two pale hands helplessly gripped the wall. Her enticing buttocks were exposed. Her bare feet took step after step upon the squalid ground, her dishevelled medium-length hair obscuring her face, hiding the expression on her face from the world.

"Help... save me..."

Click. Click. Click—

"Ah!"

She suddenly heard the echoing sound of a pair of high heels. She held her breath, overwhelmed by her fear. Her entire body was trembling— she used her hand to stifle any noise escaping her mouth, fearing that even the slightest whimper would expose her. She desperately attempted to withdraw into the wall.

Click. Click. Click— Clack.

The heels suddenly ceased their clatter just a short distance away from her. Her legs were numb. She sensed she would collapse soon, but she couldn't succumb just yet. She had spent so long planning her escape. 'No! I can't be caught, I can't! Someone save me! Save me!' She cried out in her head.

Click. Click. Click—

The sound of the heels slowly receded, perhaps failing to have found the escaped prey. She let out a long sigh and relaxed once she heard the footsteps retreat in the opposite direction. Her legs were numb— she instantly crumpled to the ground, unable to move, her eyes staring blankly at the heap of trash before her. She slowly felt her consciousness disappear and finally fainted.
