"It is your fault! And you know what... I think you're the one that should have died!"
And all of a sudden, everyone and everything turned quiet. Even the guards that were pinning Kyle down could not help but instinctively let go of Kyle, just looking at each other in shock. The people that were watching the scenario, whispering and letting out gasps of bewilderment. Even Sophie gasped, not believing the words that came out of her mouth. "You, think I should die?" Kyle stood up very weakly, almost falling on his knees again as his eyes which were hidden by his hair started to falter while looking at Sophie. "Why? Was it really my fault?" "Brother.." Sophie's head started to tremble as she backed away; she saw a glimpse of her brother's eyes, completely still.. and almost lifeless, "Brother, I'm s- But before she finished words, Sophie suddenly turned around and ran away. "Sophie!?" One of Sophie's friends, a girl with long blonde hair, could not help but stare at Kyle for a few seconds, before rushing to follow her, "Why would you say that to your brother!?" Kyle was at a loss as to what to do. He found himself just standing there as this piercing whistle started to drown his ears. "You..." The guards that were previously trying to throw him out of the dorm carefully approached him, "...You're the boy in the video." "!!!!" And as soon as those words entered Kyle's ears, the sharp whistle growing in his mind started to ring. He looked at the crowd that gathered due to the commotion, only to see them staring at him. "No..no." And as the deafening whistle grew louder and louder, Kyle started shaking his head. He tightened his hood as he rushed out of the building. He couldn't hear anything anymore. His body just moved on its own, completely out of his control; he walked without purpose, he ran, he stopped.. and he laughed. He doesn't know where he is anymore, the only thing he could do was laugh at himself, causing the people around him to move and avoid him. Kyle was completely unaware of this, however, his body just moved on its own without purpose. "Choose... I should have just died. There was a choice, it shoukd have been me." Kyle kept repeating to himself as the memory of the incident resurfaced in his mind, like a chainsaw that keeps on shredding his sanity. "It. should have been me." And completely unbeknownst to Kyle, he was now back in front of his dorm room; his feet, completely weak from the unexpected trek they were forced to endure. And then, as the ringing finally began to quiet down, Kyle found himsclf completely drowned in his own sweat. His mind, very slowly clearing with now only a single thought in his mind-but before this thought could materialize.. ...a fist was already on its way to his face. "Happy birthday, fuckface." *** "!!!" Kyle let out a sharp and loud gasp. His body which was previously completely out of his control, now showered by a chilling cold that almost scared his skin. The ringing, however, that he thought was already gone was still ever present. He could see several silhouettes moving in front of him as his vision started to clear. And if he wasn't currently deaf from the weight of his thoughts, then he would have definitely recognized the hazy voices. "..." Kyle started looking around, and soon recognized the place he was in-he was on the roof of his dorm. And with his vision now completely clear, he saw Rex and his group of thugs that he calls friends. Rex seemed to be screaming something at him, but all Kyle could really hear was a whistle. Even as Rex grabbed him by the neck and dragged him to the edge of the roof, Kyle's mind was completely afloat; very slowly, however, he could hear the drops of water falling on his shoulders. "You fucking piece of shit. You are an eyesore." "..." Kyle could finally understand Lex's words as he whispered loudly right beside his ear. "Lowborns like you should have been aborted as a baby." Rex sucked in a breath as he tightened the grip on Kyle's neck, "They should have eradicated your kind in the concentration camps 80 years ago." "Hm." Kyle only let out a muffled hum as he heard Rex's words. He had lost count of how many times he had heard those same exact words-they were white noise at this point. And so, instead of putting effort into listening to whatever Rex was saying, Kyle just turned his head down; his eyes.. completely focused on the cold, hard asphalt at the bottom of the building. "Pft," and this time, Kyle made a conscious effort to laugh. And with Rex gripping his neck, the burst of laughter that escaped his mouth cracked in the air-viscerally insane. "What the fuck? I think he lost it, Rex!" "I knew it, the guy's a pervert!" "I think he likes you choking him!" Rex's friends also started laughing-their laughter did not last long in the air, however, as Kyle suddenly hugged Rex. "Wh-Let me go! Are you gay...eh? But before Rex could finish his words, he felt his vision shift. The floor that carried his weight, no longer touching his feet as Kyle suddenly, and unexpectedly leaned off the ledge. "Don't worry, Rex." Kyle's laughter continued to fester the air even as the wind threatened to blow his face. "I'm sure.. you'll survive this." Kyle then calmly said as the both of then continued to fall toward the hard asphalt, "But I hope you'll be in prison." "Are you crazy!?" Rex could really only scream as he looked at the approaching ground. "Justice.. this is justice." Kyle continued to laugh; his eyes that were now completely exposed, looking straight down to the ground. But then suddenly, out of nowhere... ...A Portal opened up. Oh-was the only word that Kyle could utter as they both went through this bright mysterious gate. A thousand years ago, Portals appeared simultaneously all over the globe-thousands of them summoning creatures that appeared and emerged from these Portals, almost wiping out mankind. And now, a thousand years later; Kyle, a mere Commoner, accidentally enters his first Portal."...Huh?" The Underworld--not much is known about this realm beneath the world of men. The humans know only what the gods have told them. But if there is one undeniable truth, it is that the Underworld is where the souls of men ferry to once they meet their end. And if their souls are judgged evil, they are deemed unworthy of rest and will be spawned back as monsters. That is why Kyle believes that the monsters will never truly disappear, because the number of evil men outnumbers those that are not. The humans make their hell a reality. One would think the Underworld would be a gloomy place because of this, but no, Kyle has seen his sister's explorations in the novice and training areas, and it looked just like the surface... except one could see half the world on the horizon. As the Underworid is beneath the Earth's surface, the Earth's surface is beneath the Underworld, relatively speaking, Once you pass through the Portal, the gravity starts to invert making what is sup
3-Headed hounds, giant eagles with the body of a lion, a literal half-human half-reptile with small snakes as hair. There were also sorts of monsters that existed in the Underworld, completely different from each other and varying in strengths. And yet, there was one thing that was consistent amongst all of them-none of them could talk. Even those that have human heads and faces are not capable of speaking to men. Many Explorers have already tried, some have even captured monsters to experiment on them when the technology needed for such procedures became available, and yet to no avail. And yet right now, in front of Kyle, with its mouth dripping with blood-a monster spoke. "Did.. you just speak?" Kyle slightly flinched, standing up from the frosty ground as he looked the spider lady in the eyes. "Gruhh..khee?" "..Oh." But as the monster opened its mouth again, the only thing that escaped its lips was a mumbling screech. It opened its mouth again, but no words that Kyle cou
Awakening. The process when the blood of the gods that lay dormant in a human's veins starts to wake up, hence the name. People could usually trace what part of society one belongs to by checking their history and bloodline, but it is truly only when one awakens that people could truly judge one's potential. Awakening commonly happens right in the middle of puberty, with the average age being 12, It could be early or late for a year or two, but it happens for everyone; even for Lowborns. But for Kyle, nothing ever really woke up-a testament to how diluted his blood was, is what the doctors said to him. But now, as he turned 18, Kyle could feel every strand of muscles in his body throb as the blood of the gods in his veins started to burst forth. The blood of the gods is powerful. Once it wakes up, it restarts your entire existence; it alters your instincts. Their blood literally injects power into your brain, giving it knowledge it never had before. Special talents, abilit
"Back is itchy. My back is itchy." The ability to know someone's desires. Kyle wasn't a fool, he knows that in the hands of a more intelligent person, this kind of ability would be one of the most overpowered skills to have. But why, why would the heavens give someone who lived a life of solitude like Kyle this kind of ability? "Ha.." But then again, no matter how intelligent one is; a plan usually shatters in the face of overwhelming strength-and that is exactly what the arachne means for Kyle right now. He wanted to try and see what would happen if he filled up the five hearts and turned them all red. He got Iucky earlier when the arachne's neck was itching because he was lifted in the air. But now, her back is itching. Her legs were still tapping from Kyle's.. magic touch, and as she was even backing away, it gave Kyle, ample time and space to think everything through. Should he just run away? No, that was absolutely not an option. So, what was Kyle even supposed to
The same words repeated in Kyle's mind as he watched the arachne very gently fondle her own bosom. The edges of her fingers, being filled up due to how soft and arge they seemingly were. Does.. he really have no other options here Kyle thought. "Hm.." The arachne seemed to have noticed him hesitating; her head, slightly tilting to the side as the smile on her face turnd into light bewilderment. But then, very slowly, the smile once again appeared on her face. She lifted one of her soft bosoms closer to her face, before leaning her head down and sticking out her tongue. She then turned to look Kyle hys straight in the eyes... before touching the tip of her tongue on her own teat. "!!!" And like a throb that echoed throughout his entire body. Kyle felt a sort of warmth rushing through his veins-like a surge of power that made him feel like he could survive anything the world throws at him. Unfortunately for him, that surge of power all settled at the already raging rod between
"Are these your clothes?" "Yes... Thank you." "Why were you naked?" What was Kyle even supposed to reply to that? That he took off his clothes because it was liberating that his life was about to end? Or that he was deliberately trying to kill himself? Which one would be the more sane response? "It's.." And when Kyle finally opened his mouth, the rescuer who handed him his clothes back was already gone. Kyle was already back on the Surface; right outside the dorm and being assessed for any injuries. While everyone around him was running around. he was just asked to sit on the side and wait for instructions. They gave him a pair of pants and a jacket, but they were too small so he wasn't even able to zip the jacket up. Fortunately for Kyle, they were at least able to give him a warm, damp towel to cover his head, which was throbbing like crazy earlier from the gravity shift upon returning to the Surface. Now that he was looking at the Portal he fell into, he realized how
"Show me your face. Show me your beautiful face." "..." The woman's desires were loud, louder than Arachnea's. Is it because she's human? Did she sce Kyle's face when they rescued him? But he even covered his face before the thing between his legs when they arrived. Truly, a Hunter's eyes were fast... ...and perhaps he can use the woman beside him to confirm that? Kyle then turned to look at the five gray hearts above the woman's head again. A sort of idea has already formed in Kyle's head of what happens when he turns all the target's hearts red. Kyle then took in a small breath, turning to see if there were people looking at them. But as soon as he realized that everyone was busy with the Portal, he looked the woman in the eyes, before subtly pushing the towel on his head backwards. "Oh.." And without even a second later, a loud gulp whispered into Kyle's ears. One of the hearts flickered, but it did not turn red. "Have.. l already thanked you for getting me out,
"Open your mouth wider, Kyle." "..." "That... that's good. Hmn... hmn.. Okay, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your mouth." Katarina's curious hums whispered through her clinic; the sound of her gloves, slapping in the air as she took them off after checking the color of Kyle's tongue. Kyle was currently scated topless on a stool; his body, being professionally checked by Katarina. Some changes, however, are less noticeable than others; some are even unnoticeable. Once the biood of a god that had remained dormant inside one's body awakens, there would usually be a slight change in one's body-increased muscle mass, a change of color, bone density, etc. "Do you see anything differently now? What did you say you were feeling again?" "Besides your eyes, I don't see anything different." Katarina then carefully placed the gloves that were wet with Kyle's saliva on the clean steel plate on the table beside her, "Nausea." Kyle sighed, "It feels like my body is bei
