[The Present]
“… You’re a bit interesting…” I smiled, raising my head a little to see the terribly massive man.Despite the difference in our height, with me on the receiving end, the effects of my dominance did not change. The giant cowered in fear before me, taking a few steps away from me in response to taking on his attack.Unfortunately for him, his hand had been caught by me, lodged deeply in my right grip… and I had no intention of letting it go!“You’re Kevin, right? The one they call a fiend…”My voice grew more intimidating and I could feel my rage surface.Standing right before me was the bastard who killed Anne. He really disrupted everything. After turning everything into a mess, the bastard now cowered before insurmountable power.“I… I can’t see your level…” His voice shuddered as he spoke.Judging from his expression, he must have deemed it impossible that someone possessed so mucIn a flash, I was done!None of the people within the Camp noticed my presence, allies and enemies alike. Using my stealth skills in combination with my intense speed, I was practically a ghost that zoomed past the massive structure and got away with tapping every single member of the enemy faction.They got caught in my Gift, vanishing in what would appear to be an instant for normal people.“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!” The voices of the Camp members echoed in fright The sight of about a dozen enemies vanishing suddenly must have frightened them, but as soon as they recovered from the shock, I was certain they would rejoice.As for me, immediately after I concluded my business within the building, I zoomed outside and returned to the scene of the just-concluded battle.All of this was within thirty seconds, maybe even less…“Y-you’re back already?!” Charles gasped, having barely moved from where he was to his Camp members’ location.“Yes. Do not worry… they have all been taken care of.”For a m
“I know what you’re thinking, Lara. But, do not worry. There is a time for everything…”Just because I left the Camp members to clean up Kevin Smith’s mess didn’t mean they were off the hook forever.Besides, they had lost so much. It was only fair to give them some time to grieve and pull themselves together. “We have other business to attend to, you know? The scavengers are a group of collectors with ‘Evil’ Alignments. It’s only fair that they have some supplies and weapons stored in here. It may not be much, but we can use whatever we find later on. Plus…”I hadn’t forgotten about the men I had kept in my [Subspace]. Now that I was far away from prying eyes, I could finally take my time with Kevin Smith and his surviving accomplices.It wouldn’t be fun otherwise----------------------------------------------------------We explored the whole building, carefully looking out for traps. Thankfully, I had interrogated the sniper beforehand, gaining practically all the information I
The woman gave me a disbelieving gasp and shook her head in disagreement. Her expression told me she would rather die than spend another minute here. The moment I gave her a serious look in an attempt to ask if she truly meant it, her expression dissolved instantly.Well, I could tell she was still very uncomfortable about the whole thing—frankly speaking, I was too.But…“I suppose it could use a makeover.”It was at times like this, not just in combat, that I loved my Gift’s abilities the most!My eyes scoured the room, making sure I spotted every single nuisance in an instant—none of which were deemed to be ‘living things’ by the System.In the blink of an eye, they all vanished! From the deep musk that wafted in the air, to the piles of garbage and unspeakably unhygienic substances littered about—everything disappeared.“Tadah! Now, this is much better!” I beamed, now looking at the extremely clean room! Thanks to my attention to detail, there was practically no single piece of di
I decided to summon a curtain and used it to make an ultra-thin barrier between Lara and myself. It extended to both sides of the wall, and the linen was thick enough to barely register as transparent.I was safe!Throughout my mental ordeal, Lara was silent. I was certain she was laughing internally at my very innocent nature. It was probably no big deal to someone like her!Pushing those thoughts away from my head, I decided to focus more on why we were in the toilet, to begin with. No more distractions, no more perverted thoughts, just the gentle embrace of cool water.“Now, then… let’s shower!-------------------------------------------------I used [Subspace] to create several little openings above myself and made it appear as though shower drops were falling on us.It didn’t take much concentration to do it since I had gotten such high proficiency in using my Gift. Before long, water descended upon me and Lara, causing us to let out slight moans as the water collided with our
The way the woman gazed longingly at the ceiling, most likely seeing as the drops of water fell, how she stuck out her tongue out in anticipation of the flow… they were too much for me to resist!‘I’m not better than this! Not in the slightest!’ My mind rang.There was a risk I could get caught, but was there anything worse than that? Even if it was shameless of me, I was certain Lara would understand!She was a psychiatrist, after all. ‘Beating one’s meat’ was a healthy venture according to science, and she was a woman of science, no? Certainly, Lara would be in support.My incredibly aroused mind made up its own common sense as I gave myself to perversion.Lara kept turning her body and reaching for more difficult parts. She rubbed her armpits, her legs, her… hole… and the more she did this, the faster my hands went.My eyes bulged more in anticipation and my lips curled into what I couldn’t possibly describe.“Haa… Haa…”More and more, my eyes captured the display and I found mysel
“You don’t mean us, right? Since we’re spectators. Then…”Lara sharply paused mid-sentence and her eyes bulged. That told me she already figured it out. That’s right… those who would be playing with the human scum I collected were another type of filth.With my voice ringing at the exact moment as Lara, we both gave the same answer.“Demons!”Yes, I planned on making a game similar to the impromptu one back at the Hobgoblin territory.Back then, I released the Gifted who abandoned the Camp and forced them to win against the Demons I had already wounded. The deserters didn’t stand a chance and lost, helping me in my experiment.But, unlike back then, I would be in full control of this situation. Plus, it was no experiment. What I planned on carrying out here was simple—an Execution!It was only a matter of how interesting it would be for me.“Now, then. We’ve freshened up and had breakfast—all that’s left is the show.” My lips curled up to form a sadistic grin.Since Lara and I sat com
The humans appeared to have some questions, but as I had told them earlier… there was no need to speak to me.“Now then, since I have explained the rules of this game to you, I will now be releasing you. Run as fast as you can.”As soon as I said this, the tensed face of the humans loosened considerably and they found out their bodies now moved properly. For a few moments, they stood there—dazed.However…“57 seconds left. 56 seconds left. 55 seconds left…”My lips began to curl amusedly, parting as words came out. The moment the scavenger party realized that they were wasting valuable time, they sprang into action and took a mad dash to flee.‘Now, that’s more like it!’None of them even thought of looking back, dashing away as if their life depended on it, which it did.“They must have seen the Stats of the Demons they’re up against. Seeing that there’s no chance of winning, running is the best choice…” I muttered, returning to my spot beside Lara.They most likely had no intention
The thirteen Gifted who were participants in the blood-curdling game made by a sick boy ran, all in different directions.It was the best option they could come up with to preserve their lives.Of course, a few idiots believed that if they could only last for an hour, they would survive the death that seemed to creep up on them. Some counted the seconds in their head while others completely ignored the concept of time and ran as fast as they could.This continued until… the one minute of grace elapsed.After that, the carnage began!“GARUIIIIIKKKKKK!!!”The loud screeches of the unstoppable monsters echoed in the air. As soon as the desperate scavengers heard it, they realized that they needed to pick up the pace… else they would die.Unfortunately, before one of the thirteen could even think of resorting to a Skill for safety, one Hobgoblin Champion had already crept up on him, brandishing its hand to form a fist.>BOOOMMM
