Prologue Volume 1: A Chained Man And A Dying Man.

"AHHHHH!"

I shouted like a madman.

"Fuck....!!!"

I was currently on the verge of insanity.

I tried to move but...

Clang!

"Thoses damn chains!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

I was chained somewhere.

I didn't know where, since there was something covering my eyes.

I didn't know since when because I don't even know who the fuck I am!

"I swear I will kill the bastard who put me there!"

It was really breaking me apart.

I don't know how, but the chains were destroying my body from the inside. I guess I had something like regeneration since I could feel my limbs growing back.

But!

At the exact moment they grew back, the chains would start again to destroy my body. It was really a mind boggling pain but I somehow got used to it.

But even I had limits, the fact that I was alone and being tortured in a godforsaken place was too much.

Clang! Clang!

"Dammit..."

Thud!

Suddenly, I heard a sound.

"Who?!"

No responses.

"If you are the guy who put me there, count your days because one day I will fucking torture you with those same chains!"

I threatened but there was still no response.

It was getting on my nerves, not gonna lie.

"Answe..."

"I...am...not ...the one wh-who put you there...aarrgh!"

An exhausted voice answered me.

'Is he injured ?'

That's what I thought from his ragged breathing and pained groans.

"What are you doing there and who are you ?"

I couldn't help but be wary of this guy.

Nobody has been here for several decades, at least after all, and I'm sure of that. Then suddenly this guy came...

"Ahahah! It sh-should be my question...cough!"

The man answered while coughing painfully.

"A fucker put me there and I don't know for what."

I replied in an annoyed tone.

"I see...then my situation is similar to yours I guess...Because of some fuckers I ended up here and dying..."

"I see too bad for you, now release me."

I asked bluntly. He should be able to find something to release me.

"You are really an asshole...you know...cough!"

He replied in a tired tone while coughing again.

"Hey, can you stop coughing blood. It's really painful to hear your voice coughing."

I asked gently, as his pained voice was really unpleasant.

"Bastard...I thought you would feel lonely if you didn't hear my voice. My bad! Cough!!!"

He replied but this time he coughed a few more times loudly.

Is this bastard really injured...

"Me lonely?! Are you stupid ?"

I retorted back angrily.

"A tsundere-like reaction..."

He muttered an unknown word.

"Tusu what ?!" I asked, but he ignored me.

"I will release you."

Before I shouted at him, he replied.

"Really ?!" I asked with a happy voice.

Finally, I could get out of here!

"Y-Yeah cough! But on one condition...cough!"

'Stop coughing!'

"Of course anything Sir..."

I thought inwardly but replied gently.

"What a shameless guy..." He murmured something but I didn't hear.

"What ?"

"Nothing. Well, briefly, I just want you to hear me out for an hour..."

'Eh ?'

I was surprised by his easy condition, but more importantly, his voice got somewhat emotional in the end.

"Just that...?" I asked in a doubtful tone.

There was a pause but I felt that he was smiling sadly.

"Yeah...just that. I will die anyway, so I want to let out my regrets, my pain and ...my anger to someone."

He said the last words in an icy tone.

"Whatever, as you can see, I'm not busy at the moment so I am listening."

"You're quite the chatty one, maybe you would. Maybe popular in my class..."

He said in a bitter voice.

"Class ?"

What the hell is he talking about ?

Did he lose it ?

No way!

"HEY are you alright ?! Release me first and I promise to hear your sad story!"

I pleaded to him before he became crazy.

"I will start, so shut up! Cough...!"

He replied in an annoyed tone.

"Yeah, yeah, go ahead, but please don't go crazy afterward. There is the worst in life."

"Like death...?"

"Y-Yeah, now I'm hearing! So quick!"

I pressed him before he changed his mind about releasing me.

"Actually...I come from another world." He started in a serious voice, but for me it was just a joke.

"Eh ?"

As expected did he lose it ?
