75- Mughur Hunting Group The old man and the burly guy rode their respective monsters at a slow pace and as they were getting closer to me, I tried to think of getting out of this situation. My instincts were telling me that these guys are 100% related to the dead bald guy. But even after racking my brain, I only came to one conclusion. That is – only a miracle can save me right now. And if there is no miracle, then getting this system and earning so many ‘Free stat points’ is like - wasting my whole life earning money but suddenly due to some disease or accident, I lost my life and all the wealth is either transferred to my inheritors or taken by the government. Finally, the two monsters stopped. The old man and the burly guy got down from the monsters and they looked at the dead bald guy. One of the men under the dead bald guy approached the two guys (The old man and the burly guy) and he quickly kneeled on the ground and spoke, “Leader, please kill this bastard, he is
76 – Inhuman Torture ‘Snap’ For a moment, I felt like the world has come to a standstill, and time has paused. Then like a lightning strike, the pain hit me so hard that I could not help but scream, “AHHHHH...” ‘ding’ ‘- 230 Hp’ Without waiting for another second, Rob took another finger and then again ‘snap’ ‘AHHHHHH....” ‘ding’ ‘- 200 Hp’ For the first time in my life, I wished that this was just a nightmare and not reality. But the reality is cruel and Rob continued breaking my fingers. ‘snap’ ‘ding’ ‘- 220 Hp’ ‘snap’ ‘ding’ ‘- 220 Hp’ ‘snap’ . . Rob continued breaking my fingers. I seriously wished for death more than anything else right now. And due to the constant pain transmitted to my brain through the nervous system, I felt that my vision was going blank, and just as I was about to lose consciousness, ‘SMACK’ ‘-50 HP’ I was slapped on my face with so much power that, my brain was given a shock and blood started dripping f
77- Lamia? I know what’s going to happen next and I don’t think I can watch this. Because if I did, then I will lose the last bit of ‘will left to survive’ in me, and I might die due to this cruel reality. So, I closed my eyes. I know that someone will force me to open my eyes and look at the scene that was going to follow but still, I will try to avoid this, as I am in no condition to handle the heartache that will follow. ‘Smack’ And unsurprisingly, just as I closed my eyes, someone slapped me. And using fingers, they put pressure on my eyelids and tried opening them. And just as my eyes were opened forcefully, ‘Flash’ A powerful bright light was flashing in front of me, which made me close my eyes. And suddenly, ‘BOOM’ I felt like something crashed and a huge gust of wind started to blow. Being injured and in no position to protect myself or hold on to something, I was blown away for a few meters and fell face down. And then I felt my consciousness slippi
78- Armelia's story “I am a Lamia.” Wait, what? Not waiting for me to process the information, Armelia continued, “Ever since I was born, I have been raised in the dark forest and I have practically spent my whole life here. I always wondered how big the world was.” “And one day, I heard that there were humans who lived outside of the forest and a few stories related to them. As I had nothing to do here in the forest, I collected information related to places outside the dark forest. Gradually, my wish to explore the outside world increased, so much that I could not control myself and went to my mother.” “But when I asked my mother about this, she denied me and warned that I should not step out of the dark forest. But I was not able to control my feelings and ran away from the home. But I did not know the way out of the forest and so I was stuck, but I finally met you.” “After that, you know the story.” So, practically she was bored of her everyday life and she decided t
79- Armelia's mother “Armelia, it is alright now, your mother is here. Don’t cry, I will not let anyone harm my daughter.” Hearing this, Armelia started crying even more. So, the woman was Armelia’s mother. Armelia’s mother gently consoled Armelia, while caressing her head. After a few moments, when Armelia calmed down, she opened her mouth. “Mother, I...I...” Armelia’s mother placed a finger on Armelia’s mouth and spoke, “Shush. I know, I know everything. I already knew that you ran away from the home, so I sent a few of the guards behind you. Anyway, we will talk about this later and you, get ready for the punishment. And we should get back soon, as I can see your friend over there is seriously injured.” Hearing about the ‘punishment’, Armelia’s face showed that she was scared but when she heard about Orochi, she quickly looked in his direction and saw that Orochi was lying unconscious. Seeing this, Armelia ran towards him and pushed away the two humans who were h
80- A Good News and A Bad News After Armelia finished the flashback, she then said, “So, we brought you here and you have been unconscious for 2 whole months. We tried curing you, but due to the poison in your body, the healing process is extremely slow.” “But I have good news for you. My mother told me that your poison can be cured.” Said Armelia with a broad smile. Hearing this, my whole body trembled with shock. And just as I was doubting if this was a dream, the pain which came told me that it was not a dream. But nonetheless, I asked, “Are you speaking the truth?” Seeing my excitement, Armelia replied happily “Yes, I am telling the truth. Hee-hee...” Hearing this I could not control my happiness and I wanted to hug Armelia, but just as I moved, an extreme pain brought me back to reality. Seeing this, Armelia hastily said, “Orochi, don’t move. You have to focus on recovering. My mother told me that she will help you in removing this poison after you recover.”
