•°Arthur Morgan

You were well aware of the risks when you borrowed from Leopold Strauss. At first, he seemed like an ordinary man, but there were rumors about him. Many people who borrowed from him were later severely beaten for not paying their debts. You didn't want this, but you had no choice; you needed the money or you would die.

Now, the day of judgment has arrived. The day when you must repay your debt. Although your earnings were stable, they were still not enough to pay off the debt, only half of it, due to the hellish interest rates and your unfortunate illness two weeks ago. You sat on your bed, waiting for the worst to happen.
There was a knock on the door. Another knock, this time louder. The collector had come to collect the money or force it from you.

"Open the door, it's time to pay your debt."
A low and rough male voice was heard.
"I know you're here, and I'm not in the mood for a game of hide-and-seek. Open the damn door, or it will be worse."

You slowly stood up and approached the door with quiet steps, opening it. There was still a glimmer of hope within you, but it quickly faded away. Arthur was doing his job as a loan shark well, which was terrible for you. You were destined to face the same fate as others who failed to repay their debts on time.
