The Story…
There was a young man named Sherwin who was born into a farming family. He grew up knowing the importance of being an efficient farmer because he was taught that time is money. A lot of people thought he was crazy, but some people close to him knew that his Insanity was pure genius.
The Story continues…
Monsters soon began to arrive in his town and farmers quickly started creating tools to fend off the horde. Sherwin was one of the brave men to journey through the Bloodbath. Others in his group thought he looked like a Whirlwind while attacking the monsters.
The Story ends…
Sherwin was known throughout the lands as a hero with Nerves of Steel. Many thought that he was the Boon of Bul-Kathos. All he needed was a Pound of Flesh to continue his Rampage. The monsters felt threatened by the sight of the Berserker, Sherwin. In the echo, we can hear his old town cry out his name. Sherwin the Barbarian.
