Chapter 1 - The Briefcase & The mysterious note

Ronx was taking a walk since he had nothing better to do in life. 

He didn't have any friends to talk to since he preferred to be alone and his parents had died when he was still a baby. His uncle, Dane Falcon had raised him for most of his life. 

As he was taking his boring, usual walk, he noticed a strange sound coming from an alleyway.

The voice was strange because it sounded like a young woman screaming for help but had a slight demonic tone to it. 

Ronx wasn't the type of person to get scared or run for his life so he decided to check it out, after all, he had some fighting experience and his trusty pistol.

As he walked down the alleyway, he noticed that it was quite dark and silent. The air felt colder then when he entered and his footsteps were the only thing that he could hear. 

As he reached the end of the alleyway, he didn't see any serial killer or young woman, instead he saw a briefcase perfectly placed in front of him. 

Ronx curiously opened the briefcase and found a crow's feather and a note that read:

"Find me at the graveyard near Mr. Luther's coffee shop at midnight"

Ronx looked at the note confusingly and with slight interest at the same time.

"Should I really trust this note? Eh...whatever, even if its some sort of a kidnapping thing, I can always blow their brains out, it'll be a good opportunity to try out my new gun" Ronx thought to himself, slightly smiling at the thought of using his new pistol. 

He had always wanted to try out his pistol that he had just recently bought a few weeks ago.

Ronx then looked at the crow's feather and decided to take it with him since it might be useful when talking to the mysterious person. 

With that, Ronx made his way to the graveyard, which wasn't too far from where he was so it only took him ten minutes to reach the location on the note. 

As he entered the graveyard, he could feel the atmosphere changing. He could hear a very faint humming sound of an old woman. He could feel a strange amount of fog surrounding him, every time he moved, the fog would follow. 

Everything was silent, so silent that he couldn't even hear his footsteps. There was a faint smell of dead bodies and it didn't help that there were occasional human bones and even a skull every so often. 

As he wondered further into the graveyard, he could see a silhouette covered by fog. 

And upon approaching closer, it was confirmed that it was a person wearing a black suit, one of his hand in his pocket and the other holding a briefcase, very similar to the one he found in the alleyway. 

He had blond hair and eyes that looked extremely tired. This person had a smirk on his face as he saw Ronx approaching. 

"Oh? Are you the lucky person?" The blonde man said with a smirk on his face. "Nice to meet you, the name's Alex. Alex Lewisguard."

Ronx showed him the note with a serious face, expecting an ambush any second. 

"I found this note that told me to come here" 

Alex smiled, "I see."

Alex then took a small moment to observe Ronx and then continued, "By the way, do you any family by chance?"

Ronx sharpened his eyes, preparing for the absolute worst. 

"And why do you ask?" Ronx asked cautiously with a serious face, raising one eyebrow.

"Because the moment you picked up the note, your boring and past life had already ended" Alex said with a strange smile. "You are now a part of the undead crow organization."

"What are you talking about? The undead crow organization?" Ronx said with slight disgust, thinking it was some criminal group. 

"Do you have the feather?" Alex asked.

"Yes" 

"the feather is the badge that every member has, it is a proof that you belong to the undead crow" Alex explained.

"I am not going to join any criminal group" Ronx said, taking a step back. 

"You already did" Alex said with a evil smile, "and its not a criminal group, in fact it is the opposite. We eliminate criminals" 

"I don't care, I am not becoming a part of it" Ronx said, who started to walk away. 

Alex smiled even further, "There is no backing out of it, once you become a member, leaving the organization means killing your family."

Ronx stopped and instantly took out his gun, pointing it at Alex. 

"Say that again"

Alex didn't flinch and barely had a reaction, "Even if we don't kill your family, someone else will since you are now a part of our group, even if you don't want to admit it."

"Make me leave it" Ronx said with a serious face, slightly angry. 

"Even if you leave the organization, you will still be counted as a former undead crow member, meaning criminals will target you and your family" Alex explained.

Ronx eyes widened, realizing that he put his uncle in danger. He started to regret going in the alleyway, finding the briefcase, finding the note and coming here. 

"Fuck you" Ronx said with a serious but sad face.

Ronx then pulled the trigger and shot Alex but to his surprise, Alex easily caught it with just his two fingers without even flinching. 

"So? What is it going to be?"
