Capítulo 319: Cannon Fodder

I don't know how long I was out, but what I did know was that when I came to, I was tied to a stake in front of the first gate, just outside of the fifth circle.

"And yet, I have no idea what is going on," I shrugged. Or at least I tried to. My wrists were bound behind my back, and the cold pole I was against dug into my spine. Looking down, I half expected to see a pile of wood by my feet, but instead, I was barefooted on the ground.

"That makes sense," I replied, absentmindedly nodding my head. "But why am I here? And why do you look so familiar?"
