The roar of the crowd was like a living beast, its breath hot and moist, its voice a low, guttural growl that reverberated through the twisted architecture of the Killing Floor. The arena was a monstrous steel labyrinth, a cage designed to be both a battleground and a butcher's shop. Every corner was a potential death trap; chains dangled from the rafters, rusted blades jutted from the walls, and the floor was slick with the blood of past victims.
The scent of iron hung in the air, thick and nauseating.
The scent of iron hung in the air, thick and nauseating.
Chris Chaos stood in the center of this nightmarish landscape, his chest heaving as he took in his surroundings. The Killing Floor was no ordinary match—this was a fight for survival. The WGWF Blood Bath Championship hung in the balance, but at this moment, it felt secondary to the primal need to simply stay alive. His opponents were nowhere in sight, but that didn't bring him any comfort. Mad Dog Mark Wright, John Blade, and the reigning champion, Corey Bull, were all out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
A metallic creak echoed through the arena, followed by the heavy clang of chains. Chris’s eyes darted upward just in time to see Mad Dog Mark Wright drop down from the rafters, his face twisted into a maniacal grin. His hands were wrapped in blood-stained bandages, the flesh underneath raw and torn. Without a word, he charged at Chris, fists flying like the very hounds of hell were driving him.
Chris barely had time to react, throwing up his arms to block the initial onslaught. Each punch landed with bone-jarring force, driving him back toward the spiked wall. Chris managed to sidestep just as Mad Dog swung a wild haymaker, which connected with the wall instead. The spikes tore through Mad Dog's arm, ripping flesh and spraying blood across the cold steel.
Mad Dog howled in pain but didn’t retreat. Instead, he wrenched his arm free, leaving a chunk of meat hanging from the spikes. His eyes locked onto Chris with a renewed fury. Before Chris could counter, Mad Dog lunged again, this time going low and driving his shoulder into Chris's midsection, tackling him to the ground.
The impact knocked the wind out of Chris, and he felt the sharp sting of the cold, bloody floor against his back. Mad Dog was on top of him in an instant, raining down hammer fists, each blow meant to cave in his skull. Chris managed to get a hand up, grabbing Mad Dog by the throat. With a surge of strength, he squeezed, cutting off Mad Dog's air supply, but the crazed fighter only grinned wider, his teeth red with his own blood.
Chris twisted his body, using Mad Dog's momentum against him, and managed to flip them over. Now on top, Chris drove his elbow into Mad Dog's nose with a sickening crunch. Blood spurted from Mad Dog's shattered nose, but still, he laughed, a gurgling, blood-choked sound that chilled Chris to the bone.
A shadow loomed over them both, and Chris instinctively rolled to the side just as John Blade brought down a steel chair with all his might. The chair connected with Mad Dog's head, the impact ringing out like a bell tolling death. Mad Dog went limp, his laughter finally silenced.
John Blade stood over the fallen fighter, the chair now a twisted mess of metal, bent and broken from the force of the blow. He tossed it aside and turned to Chris, his expression cold and merciless. There was no taunt, no banter, just the ruthless efficiency of a predator closing in on its prey.
Chris scrambled to his feet, but John was faster. He grabbed Chris by the hair, yanking him forward, and drove his knee into Chris’s gut. The air was forced from Chris's lungs in a wheezing gasp, and before he could recover, John spun him around and flung him toward the spiked wall.
Chris hit the wall hard, his body scraping against the jagged edges. Pain lanced through his back as one of the spikes tore through his flesh. He bit back a scream, knowing that showing any weakness now could be fatal.
John was relentless, closing the distance between them with terrifying speed. He grabbed Chris by the throat, lifting him off the ground and slamming him against the wall again. The spikes dug deeper, blood pooling beneath Chris’s feet.
"Not so tough now, are you, Chaos?" John hissed, his voice a low growl. His grip tightened, and Chris felt his vision start to blur.
But Chris wasn’t done yet. Summoning what strength he had left, he kicked out with both feet, catching John in the chest and sending him staggering back. Chris dropped to the ground, tearing free from the spikes with a wet, ripping sound. He hit the floor hard, his back a burning mass of pain, but he forced himself to move.
John was already recovering, coming at him again, but Chris was ready. He reached out, grabbing a loose chain that was lying on the ground, and swung it with all his might. The chain wrapped around John's arm, the rusty links biting into his flesh. Chris pulled with everything he had, yanking John off balance and sending him crashing to the ground.
Chris didn’t waste a second. He leaped on top of John, wrapping the chain around his neck, pulling it tight. John thrashed beneath him, his hands clawing at the chain, but Chris only pulled harder, his knuckles white with the effort. The chain bit into John's neck, cutting off his air, his face turning purple as he struggled to breathe.
John's thrashing slowed, his movements becoming weaker, more desperate. Chris held on, his breath coming in ragged gasps, his vision narrowing to a tunnel. Finally, with one last jerk, John went still, his body going limp beneath Chris.
But there was no time to rest, no time to celebrate. Chris could feel the eyes on him, the presence lurking in the shadows. Corey Bull, the champion, was still out there. And Chris knew that Bull was not a man to take lightly.
As if summoned by the thought, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the arena. Chris turned, his eyes scanning the darkness, but the shadows seemed to swallow everything. The tension in the air was palpable, the silence before the storm.
And then, Corey Bull stepped into the light.
He was a mountain of a man, towering over Chris, his body a mass of muscle and scar tissue. His face was a mask of rage, twisted into a snarl that promised nothing but pain. In his hands, he held a massive sledgehammer, the head stained with old, dried blood.
Chris knew he was in trouble. He was exhausted, bleeding, and in no shape to take on the monster that stood before him. But there was no other option. This was the Killing Floor, and the only way out was through Bull.
With a roar, Bull charged, swinging the sledgehammer with a force that could shatter bone. Chris ducked, the hammer whistling past his head, and rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the follow-up swing.
Bull was relentless, each swing of the hammer sending shockwaves through the arena as it collided with the steel walls. Chris was on the defensive, dodging and weaving, but he knew he couldn’t keep this up forever. He needed a plan, a way to turn the tide.
And then he saw it.
A few feet away, lying in a pool of blood, was the twisted, broken steel chair that John Blade had used earlier. It wasn’t much, but it was something.
Chris made a dash for it, grabbing the chair and spinning around just in time to block another swing from Bull. The force of the blow sent vibrations up his arms, but he held on, using the chair to deflect the hammer. It wasn’t a perfect defense—each hit sent pain shooting through his already battered body—but it was enough to keep him alive.
Bull growled in frustration, his eyes burning with fury. He swung again, and this time, Chris saw his opening. He ducked low, letting the hammer sail over his head, and drove the jagged edge of the chair into Bull’s knee.
Bull let out a roar of pain, stumbling back as blood poured from the wound. Chris didn’t let up. He swung the chair again, this time aiming for Bull’s head. The metal connected with a sickening thud, and Bull dropped to one knee, his grip on the sledgehammer loosening.
Chris saw his chance. He grabbed the hammer, yanking it free from Bull’s grasp, and with a surge of adrenaline, he swung it with all his might. The hammer connected with Bull’s jaw, shattering bone and teeth in a spray of blood and gore.
Bull went down, his massive body collapsing to the floor with a heavy thud. Chris stood over him, the sledgehammer still in his hands, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He was covered in blood—his own, and that of his opponents—but he was still standing.
But it wasn’t over. The Killing Floor demanded more. It wasn’t enough to survive; he had to end it.
Chris raised the hammer high, his eyes locked onto Bull’s broken, bleeding form. This was it—the final blow. He brought the hammer down with all his strength, the sound of bones shattering filled the arena.
And then there was silence.
Chris stood in the center of the Killing Floor, the blood-soaked hammer still in his hands, his chest heaving with each breath. The crowd was silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. And then, slowly, the cheers began to rise, a crescendo of voices that echoed through the twisted steel---
Chris Chaos jolted awake, his heart hammering in his chest, the phantom pain of the battle still coursing through his veins. His eyes darted around, disoriented, expecting to see the blood-soaked floor, the twisted steel walls, and the broken bodies of his opponents. Instead, he found himself in the dim light of his South Beach hotel room, the soft hum of the air conditioner the only sound breaking the silence.
He was drenched in sweat, his muscles still tense as if they had just survived the brutal fight. The dream had been so vivid, so real, that for a moment, he struggled to distinguish it from reality. He could still feel the weight of the sledgehammer in his hands, the sensation of flesh and bone giving way beneath its crushing force.
Chris sat up, running a hand through his damp hair, trying to shake off the lingering effects of the nightmare. But as the adrenaline slowly ebbed, a strange sense of clarity began to take hold. The dream—it wasn’t just a nightmare. It was a premonition, a glimpse of what awaited him on the Killing Floor.
The vividness of it all—the pain, the fear, the blood—wasn’t something his mind had conjured up for no reason. It was a warning, a reminder of the stakes. The Killing Floor was no ordinary match. It was a fight for survival, a place where only the strongest, the most ruthless, could emerge victorious. And Chris knew that the horrors he’d faced in his dream were only a shadow of the reality he would soon confront.
But there was something else, too. The dream had ended with him standing tall, bloodied but victorious, over the broken body of Corey Bull. That image burned in his mind, a symbol of his determination and his will to win. It was more than just a hopeful vision—it was a foreshadowing of what he had to do.
Chris swung his legs over the side of the bed, his feet hitting the cold floor with a soft thud. He stood up, feeling the familiar aches and pains of his aging body, the physical reminders of the battles he had fought in his decade long career. The dream had left him shaken, but it had also left him more focused, more determined than ever.
As he stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, he saw not just a man preparing for a fight, but a warrior ready to face his fate. His eyes were steely, filled with the resolve to do whatever it took to survive the Killing Floor and claim the WGWF Blood Bath Championship.
The dream had been a nightmare, but it had also shown him the way. He knew what awaited him in that twisted arena—the blood, the pain, the death—but he also knew that he had the strength, the cunning, and the sheer will to overcome it. The image of Bull lying defeated at his feet was not just a dream.
It was a prophecy.
And Chris Chaos intended to make it a reality.
As he left his hotel room and made his way to his truck---a night drive down the boardwalk may clear his mind----the weight of the impending battle settled on his shoulders like a familiar cloak. The Killing Floor awaited, with all its horrors and its bloodshed, but Chris was ready. The dream had prepared him, steeled him for what was to come.
In the end, it wasn’t just about survival—it was about victory. And when the time came, when he stood on that blood-soaked floor with the championship within his grasp, Chris Chaos knew he would be the one left standing. Just as the dream had shown him.

The blackness of the Atlantic waves rolled in with a relentless rhythm, crashing against the shore like the pounding of a war drum. The night air was thick with salt, the moon hidden behind a shroud of clouds, leaving only the dim light of the stars to cast an eerie glow over the beach. Chris Chaos stood beside his truck, the dull roar of the ocean a perfect backdrop to the storm brewing within him.
“John Blade. Let’s start with you. You walk around like you’re some kind of big deal, like you’re a serious contender. But the truth is, John, the only thing serious about you is how seriously everyone’s laughing at you. You’re a joke. A punchline. A man who’s too busy pretending to be something he’s not to realize that everyone else is in on the joke but you. You’re not a threat, Blade. You’re a sideshow, a distraction, something for the crowd to laugh at before the real fight begins. And that’s exactly what’s going to happen on the Killing Floor. I’m going to laugh at you while I break you apart, piece by pathetic piece.”
The waves crashed harder now, as if the ocean itself was responding to the venom in his words.
“Mark Wright. You’ve got guts, kid, I’ll give you that. But guts aren’t going to get you far in this business, and they sure as hell won’t save you on the Killing Floor. You’re new, you’re green, and you’re stepping into a ring with a man who’s been through more wars than you can even imagine. You think you’re ready? You think you’ve got what it takes to hang with the best in the world? Newsflash, Wright—you’re not even close. You’re not on my level, and you won’t be for a long, long time. You might have potential, but potential doesn’t mean a damn thing when you’re staring down a man who’s carved his legacy out of the bodies of the best this industry has ever seen.”
“And then there’s Corey Bull,” Chris snarled, his voice dripping with contempt. “Corey Bull, the so-called ‘champion.’ You were nothing, Bull. Nothing, until Damage made you relevant. You were just another big guy, another face in the crowd, until he gave you something to cling to. And now, here you are, strutting around with a title you LOST to GIDEON KING of all people. Gideon King—a man who’s barely even a footnote. You lost to him, and then you had to claw your way back to take that belt off of him like it’s some great achievement. Beating Gideon King isn’t an accomplishment, Bull. It’s a damn embarrassment.”
“You’re not a champion, Bull. You’re a placeholder. A seat warmer for the real best in the world. You walk around with your split personalities, pretending you’re something special, but the truth is, you’re just a man clinging to a belt that’s going to slip through your fingers the moment you step into the ring with me. You’re not in my league, Bull. You never have been. You’re living on borrowed time, and at the Killing Floor, that time runs out.”
“I’ve fought the best of the best, Bull. I’ve faced legends, icons, men who have defined this business, and I’ve come out on top. You? You’re just the next in line. The next body to be broken, the next name to be crossed off my list. When that bell rings, it won’t matter how many personalities you have, how big you are, or how hard you can hit. All that will matter is that you’re standing across from Chris Chaos, the man who’s going to take everything you’ve worked for and tear it apart.”
“At the Killing Floor, I’m going to do what I’ve always done. I’m going to fight. I’m going to bleed. And I’m going to win. Because that’s what I do. That’s what I’ve always done. And when it’s all over, when the dust settles and the bodies are laid out on that blood-soaked floor, there’s only going to be one man left standing. And it’s not going to be you, Bull. It’s going to be me.”
“I am the best in the world. And at the Killing Floor, I’m going to prove it. To you, to Wright, to Blade, and to everyone else who dares to doubt it. This is my time, my moment, and there’s nothing any of you can do to stop it.”
“John Blade. Let’s start with you. You walk around like you’re some kind of big deal, like you’re a serious contender. But the truth is, John, the only thing serious about you is how seriously everyone’s laughing at you. You’re a joke. A punchline.
