Crimson mist hung in the air as Dante’s foe gasped, the boxer standing tall amidst the chaos. You winced at a gut punch, eyes glued to the brutal exchange. Blood rained down, yet you couldn't look away. In this underground den, where your father’s name meant nothing, anonymity was law. You stared at the carnage on the mat. A final hook dropped the man. The crowd groaned. Blood dripped from the loser’s nose onto the canvas. “I did good, no?” Dante whistled, wiping blood from his lip with the back of his hand. He spat out the copper taste, grabbed a water bottle, and rinsed his mouth, the liquid swirling red before he ejected it.
