7 THE FIRST YELLOW LANTERN

(Please note this isn't the MC)

******************************

Freddy Mentrout had never had it easy since he graduated college with a bachelor's in psychology. He had to struggle with a few odd jobs that he's not proud of to make ends meet.

He did that kind of job for five good years till he was allowed to work with a new mafia that paid big for their indirect workers. He hurriedly jumped at the opportunity without thinking much of it which led him to be an information extractor, Yes, he had to torture people. When it happened the first time he threw up all his meals at how bloody it was and couldn't sleep for a few nights. After the first week, he managed to overcome the feelings and became more efficient in his job and even made a name for himself on the dark web and started getting contracted for different interrogation and information extraction.

It wasn't the best job but it was what put food on his table. You could even say he had a deep understanding of people's innate fear.

Very little things surprise Freddy these days, but when he was woken up in the middle of the night to find a yellow ring floating a few meters from the end of his bed his shock knew no bounds.

His surprise reached new heights when the ring spoke to him "Freddy Mentrout, you have been chosen to be a member of the Yellow Lantern Corps because you have proven to have a deep understanding of fear and can gain the relevant result by channeling it thus, you are worthy.

He did not know whatever was floating in front of him, even if he did he was still a bit too sleepy to think about it. The ring just by looks seemed to be attracted to him and foretold him of great power if he received the ring.

Feeling no form of deceit and malicious intent, he stretched his right arm towards the ring, which slipped onto his middle finger. A few moments after his body was invaded by an unholy amount of energy but he wasn't in pain, it was more like an extreme sense of europhia. it felt otherworldly and unique and now he had only one mission; to find out the source of this power and squeeze it dry.

'This would be fun' he thought as a sinister smirk laced his lips
