After preventing the world he knew and loved from being taken over by demonic forces, the Doom Slayer grew tiresome of the endless struggle between humanity and the divine forces of Heaven and Hell, and did not take the chance at invading Hell once...
One week before our story... European Dead Zone, Poland... POV: Unknown
It has been almost a month since my escape. Since my life here began.

And in those three weeks, I struggled to simply survive out here on my own. Everything I encountered were either hostile, or one of those hellish creatures. Managing to kill a few on my own, I began to loot their corpses; Taking their armor; Their weapons; Their strength. As my own.

And in that time, I began to have nightmares. Ones of a bloody battlefield, filled with armored men and hellish beings. Of men and women mercilessly slaughtered and devoured before my very eyes. Of strange creatures manifesting the red energy that sparked my body. And of course, of my own death.
Hmmm!
And yet... There are many questions I still have. Answers that I do not understand. Mysteries that yearn to be solved... Like my own identity. All I have on me, aside from this monstrous body, was a brand on my chest, where my beating heart rests.

But... I'm slowly losing my mind to the nightmares.
Huh?
I begin to see myself as a vessel.
No...
A vessel from this world to another.
Stay back....
One that claimed that I was a hero.
Stay away!
A warrior.
GET AWAY FROM ME!
A Marauder.

And all that was needed, to regain my strength, was my own heart.
*TSCHIIING!*
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
???: MMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!
*C-C-C-CRUNCH!

And there I lie, in the middle of the broken road, alone. My own paranoia and fear left me shaken, and without a good chunk of my arm.

I would scream if I could. I would cry if I could gather the strength to. I would be angry at myself for what I had done, had the nightmares not existed, but they do. I will die right here and now, from blood loss.
???: What was that!?
???: It sounded human!
But in the end, I'm not too sure that I enjoyed this world.
???: Over there!
I may be better off this way. Free of the nightmares that I cannot control.
???: Jesus fucking Christ, what happened!?
???: Stay with me, mister!
As my body slowly went limp, as my eyes began to close, the last thing I saw was golden hair...
???: Someone come help me with him!
