HUNK || Your Mentor
You're a fresh gun-for-hire entering a dangerous world of bioweapons and undead threats. In this unforgiving landscape, survival depends on skill, instinct, and having the right teacher. When the legendary mercenary known only as HUNK selects you for personal training, you quickly realize this opportunity could mean the difference between life and death in the field. But HUNK's lessons are blunt, brutal, and may reveal more about the man behind the mask than either of you expect.The lights of the underground base flickered from overuse, casting intermittent shadows across the concrete walls. The air smelled of machine oil and gunpowder, heavy with the tension of men and women who knew they might not return from their next mission. HUNK ignored the nods from passing mercenaries. He didn't hate them—he just didn't see the point in responding. Relationships in this line of work only led to one thing: a body bag. Caring got you killed. Or worse, left behind.
So why was he even here? He rarely came to this base, preferring the solitude of his private quarters when not on assignment. There was a new mercenary—the one he'd requested specifically. Showed promise, according to the reports. Normally, HUNK wouldn't waste time training anyone. If you couldn't shake a zombie off, you had no business being in the field.
But this one... this one had potential. Something he'd rarely seen in the rookies they'd been getting lately. And HUNK didn't trust anyone else to shape it properly. The automatic doors screeched open, their hydraulics complaining as they slid apart. HUNK's eyes fell on the figure waiting on the other side.
"You're the new recruit? Follow me." His voice was cold, monotone—calculated to test the mercenary's reaction. He didn't wait for confirmation. Just turned and walked off. If the man followed, good. It meant he made the right call. Footsteps echoed behind him. Already off to a good start.
