*****

“You stupid bastard, how dare you claim young master Gab’s woman as yours and even dare to touch him? Bang.”

“Rahhhh!!!”

Inside a small room with only a dim light illuminating it, a blood-curdling cry that was filled to the brim with agony and the most painful torture on earth filled the place right now.

The sound was heart-wrenching and could make people’s hair stand on the end.

It was made by Mark, who appeared thoroughly devastated at this moment with his clothes already turned to rag and dyed with his blood.

In each hole of the cloth, various sizes of fresh wounds that were still gushing out thick red blood were seen, ranging from small to ghastly.

Mark was presently feeling the greatest pain of his life, and he had already wished for death more than once, as the agony was just too much.

This was his third day of receiving all sorts of beatings after he caught Rebecca cheating on him.

Mark had no idea about how he got here; just that, he suddenly awoke with a bang of a baton on his back, and then he realized that he had been locked in windowless custody within a police station.

Since then, as though they were gangsters, the cops have been brutalizing him in all the ways available, using pressure water on him, stunning him with electricity, and beating him till he fainted.

One would have thought that Mark would have gotten used to all this dehumanization by now, but no, he hadn’t and with the look of things, he will never.

He appeared so completely sapped of strength at present that he couldn’t lift even a finger, however, this does in no way affect the incredible hatred he was feeling. Instead, his hatred continued to rise at a fast pace with each savagery he got.

He hates anything called cops now and he feels like dissecting every member of it. As for Rebecca, it must be known that she was the one Mark loved the most in the past, but now, all this love had turned to hatred, making her his current most hated person on earth.

Lastly, Gabs… Although Mark had been oppressed to the point where all his thoughts had disappeared, his willpower was still able to put him right on the list of the people whom he must destroy if he ever got out of this doom of hell, including Rebecca’s mother who had joined hands in tormenting and oppressing him.

“You godforsaken nobody! This is what you get for having a design for the young master’s woman! Pak!”

“This is what you get for touching someone like young master Gab, daring to beat the small god!” (Again, another louder sound of a whip hitting a flesh)

With all the strength he could muster, one of the cops, who had been changing hands in beating Mark since he was brought there wiped him hard twice again, making Mark arch his back again and cry hard like someone who was having the skin of their body slowly get strip away from him from the brunt side of the knife.

Mark had never known that a pain of this level existed in his life. It was killing and destroying him.

It was as though he was having his body slowly dissected while his consciousness was still fully alive.

‘Death, is this you?’

Feeling his lifespan dwindling from him at a fast pace, a relieved look finally spotted Mark’s face, but the deep pain of regret that appeared in his eyes couldn’t be hidden at all.

No sooner had he thought this than he fainted again.

His deep pain of regret however seemed to finally have moved nature as the moment he fainted, a ball of light that was so fast and couldn't be seen with eyes pierced through the space and drilled into his body in a blink

Time seemed to stop in the following moment and then a mechanical voice echoed in Mark’s mind, but since he was now unconscious, he failed to hear.

[The host has been found successfully.]

[Analyzing the host’s soul.]

[Analysis completed and the host is found to be 100% compatible with the system.]

[Integration begins with the host soul. 3… 2… 1…]

[The system enters a slumber mood till the integration is completed. 3… 2…. 1…]

With the last word, the voice stopped completely and time finally resumed working again.

Since as previously stated, time has previously stopped, so for Mark and everybody else, no time had passed at all and it was still the moment when Mark lost consciousness.

Just before Mark’s brain could enjoy the moment of relief, a bone-sapping pain hit him again.

“Ahhhh!”

Another blood-curdling cry left his mouth and he was forcefully woken up. He immediately fought to get himself free, but he was tightly bound down so he could only trash there, looking incredibly pitiful.

“Please!!!!” Mark finally gave in, pleading with an agonized voice.

Listening to his plea, the cop members laughed hard, mocking him. “I thought you were special with strong willpower, able to survive three days without dying and giving in, so in the end, you are just a fool who will still give in like the rest… hahaha.”

Without a single pity for Mark, they mocked him to their hearts’ content, acting like the messengers of the devil before finally, one of them spoke disdainfully and with disgust.

“Will you disturb young master Gab’s woman again?”

“I won’t. boohoo! I won’t!”

Like a little girl and not the man he was, Mark sobbed harder, hurriedly answering the question, losing the last trace of pride he ever had in his life while feeling as though his body wasn’t his anymore, but the definition of pain.

    ***** “See, I will be honest with you. You aren’t the first to be brought here for having designs on the young master’s woman, but many who thought they‘d be able to avenge themselves were long dead since the young master is not just a nobody, but the son of the Police Department’s Commissioner. You can’t sue us or him, so, you should just forget anything called revenge and travel as far away as you can from the young master’s woman, otherwise…” The person, probably the only human being who still has a trace of humanity in him within the police station sighed and then stood up after applying ointment to the last spot on Mark. “You can leave after wearing this,” The person threw a pair of pants and a shirt at Mark, and then they turned around and left.

You are returning three fucking days after you’ve asked for just one day off and you still dare to ask me for the money I was owing you?

Nobody could talk for a brief moment, and then slowly, everybody exchanged blank gazes. “Did that… that homeless-looking boy did not just claim to have the ability to treat a person, did he?” “This… hahaha, what a joke.” “I will rather eat my shit than believe that someone like this, who resembles a person who had just been dehumanized for committing a theft is a doctor.” “What a fool?! Does he think we are joking here?” “The punk!” Everybody resumed discussion with a changed topic, having zero belief that Mark could do a single thing. Even the jade beauty, her revitalized expectancy instantly dashed, and her eyes became filled with hopelessness once again.“Grandfather, please, wake up! Wake up” She resumed shaking the old man while pleading for him. Like everybody else, her conclusion as soon as she saw Mark's appearance was

    ***** As soon as the words left Mark’s mouth, he was left aghast, as though he had never expected to utter such words.Literally, Mark was the one who had spoken, but it wasn’t out of his will, it was the arrogance of the high medical skill now present in his head that influenced and subconsciously let the words out of his mouth. After a moment of stupefaction, Mark’s face slowly returned to normal, since the question he just asked was nothing but the right thing to inquire. It was as though he had just spoken the most reasonable thing on earth. Nevertheless, nobody would react for a moment after he had spoken, and then very slowly, with a great shock, every head turned in Mark’s direction. Seeing that it was him, they gasped in astonishment. “It’s this beggar again,” someone mumbled, then before the old man, bodyguards, or the jade beauty could speak, they brought it upon themselves to act, trying to make the Jackson family owe them a favor. “Bastard, what did you just say?”

Nonsense.”The driver, a grumpy-looking man hissed angrily, then not allowing Mark to finish his words, he pressed hard on the pedals, almost stepping on Mark’s feet.“Why are people always angry these days, anyway?”He shook his head and turned around, just in time to see the jade beauty who had been running toward him reach him.“Mister Mark!” She called gently, looking as though she would tear up.Mark was confused and he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable and a bit irritated by this sight that made h

It was as if he had just taken a refreshing, cold bath after enduring days of scorching heat and dirt. “When last had it been since I was able to use my power as a security guard to this level of satisfaction? The feeling is so great and amazing!” As though he had just achieved something great, the rude security guard still sighed with contentment, still standing before the gate and looking through the rectangular window on it. “I’ve always been respectful to every single person I come across ever since I began to work as the security guard of this estate, because a single word from any of them could ruin my entire life completely, but tonight, I finally managed to slightly curb my hunger of using my power... but how much I so much wish for

    ***** Immediately following the echo of the abrupt voice, silence enveloped the area outside the gate. It was so profound that one could hear a pin drop. A moment later, the few people present there shifted their vacant stares toward the direction from which the scornful voice, which was filled to the brim with disbelief, emanated. In the luxurious car parked outside the gate, the driver, a short middle-aged man, turned his blank gaze towards the rear. His mouth hung open in bewilderment for a prolonged moment the next second, until... “You little troublemaker. Haven't we made a conclusion before we left home to do our utmost to avoid causing any disturbances here today?!” The short man emitted a low growl, barely audible to the person seated in the back seat of the car, looking completely helpless and frustrated. Upon hearing his father's voice and sensing his deep concern, Gab directly understood his fear, which was that he might have offended someone he shouldn't have offende

    ***** “Who are you, and why are you on the property of the Jackson family?” Mark, who had been standing in confusion in front of an incredibly tall and massive black gate, was suddenly startled back to his senses. He quickly looked around, trying to search for the source of the sound, but no, he saw nothing. “Brat, are you deaf or what? What are you looking for?” Mark, “_” He couldn’t help but suddenly frown slightly after a second of blankness, but then he sighed. “I’m here for the banquet of the old master of the Jackson family,” he said calmly, finally locating a tiny sound system, where the rude voice that was speaking to him had originated. The sound system was incredibly small, but Mark was amazed by its quality, projecting sound in a way that one would think was coming directly from the speaker and not from a projector. After Mark’s slight amazement, he waited for a response to his words, but he saw and heard none coming. This silence, however, persisted for several

How dare she?!” At this moment, an aged man, who was radiating nothing, but strength, power, and authority was consumed with intense fury. He paced about, his body emitting a strong killing intent that could make anybody die from fear. He began to puff heavily, feeling like going on a killing spree. The old man with grey hair was Mark’s grandfather, Maria’s father. He had never liked Maria since the beginning of time, instead, all his love had always been toward her stepbrothers and stepsister. He had mostly always acted indifferent toward her and would never praise her, no matter how many positive things she had contributed to the family or how much she worked for its growth. The hatred and intense disgust towards her began when Maria declined to marry the man of his choice. The man he believed would have elevated his family to a position of great power and prestige in the co

Just a small apartment where I could slowly pay back in the future will do!”Mark's mother spoke rapidly, acting as though she was eating something incredibly hot without pausing or punctuating her words.It was as if she was fearing that she might lose the courage to convey her purpose for calling if she ever stopped even for a moment.Once she had finished explaining her purpose, however, a prolonged silence that made her feel a great discomfort followed. She waited patiently, but no response came. This led her to suspect that her father had disconnected the call.Just as she was on the verge of checking the cell phone’s screen, to ascertain her thoughts, though, a burst of hysterical laughter echoed through the cell phone.“Kakakakakaka!!!”The laughter wasn’t only long, it was loud as hell and fi
