    Long before Kratos became a renowned warrior, he was a humble shepherd boy in the rustic village of Sparta. His days were spent tending to the flock and learning the ways of the land.

    Kratos was known for his strength and courage, traits uncommon for his age. Often, he would venture into the forests alone, facing wild beasts and returning victorious.

    One day, while tending to his flock, Kratos discovered an ancient cave. Inside, he found a gleaming sword, which seemed to call out to him.
