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
Kevin Smith was a powerless man.He had always been someone who would be termed as a ‘Bottom Feeder’. Having no other choice but to serve as the janitor for one middle-sized company, he accepted his fate and worked to earn a living.Being looked down on by both young and old alike pissed him off. Nothing was beneath him.Still, he had a dream, no—perhaps it was no longer a dream, but a small flickering hope—that his life would one day turn around. His seemingly impossible ambition of rising to power kept him going.And so, even though he was cussed at during work, had to bootlick his superiors, or went through unfair treatment, he held on to his goal—like a child with his favorite toy.Who would have thought that such an absurd dream made by a powerless man like him would end up being fulfilled? His wish was heard, and God himself answered it.During Christmas, while everyone was working due to the immense workload, he was taking care of the toilets—as usual.Suddenly, the environment
Kevin’s body felt heavy, like lead.No more Skills were available to him since all his servants were dead, and he knew none of his personal Skills would work.Despair enveloped the man, and he soon reverted to the way he was before the Apocalypse warped his nature. Kevin Smith turned frail!“P-please… don’t… I beg you… don’t kill me.” He stuttered, watching the amused grins of the Hobgoblins as they drew closer.Their green-colored skin glimmered in the sun and they rubbed their fists, most of which were covered with the blood of his fallen subordinates.Now merely inches away from him, all surrounding the kneeling man, the Demons readied themselves for yet another enjoyable act of pure violence.“Pleaseeeeee!!!”----------------------------------------------I witnessed the final moments of the last survivor, seeing as the Hobgoblins pounded him to death, ripping out his body as they pleased.Thanks to his High-Level, he didn’t die instantly—unlike the others. Slow, agonizing suffer
