shadow.... darkness.... i enjoy these... they keep me safe from others perception, and hide me from the harsh reality. that s why even though i regained my consciousness in such an unknown place , i felt comfort and serenity. nothing mattered anymore... i was dead.

so that s what death is like humm ? nothingness, emptiness, solitude...... these 3 ingredients would be the perfect recipes to bring the average human to lunacy. fortunately for me i am no average man. these things for me were a bliss. these things were treasures i always yearned for. and now they are all being granted to me. life has been hell, but now i feel like in paradise.

perhaps that was actually the case. perhaps the Buddha was right , the word *paradise* is nothing but the reflect of a good sensation, and *hell* being the opposite. but something wouldn't add up in that case: why would i be in heaven ? my karma was pretty bad during my living days. i was selfish , insensitive to people , and ignorant. i took advantages of others without any remorse, and abandoned those who needed my help.... even my own family...even my. . . . .

no it s too late to think about it anymore. there is nothing i can do , nothing i can change. and there is nothing i regret. i might be lying to myself , i might be a coward, but as i understood earlier , i am dead. if the gods mistook my fears for my joys , i should simply take advantage of it, like i always did... because nothing matters anymore.

on that thought, i close my eyes, and fall asleep......

i wake up.... and i am still in heaven. i wasn't delusional after all... seems like i really died. that weird brat really murdered me..... but i didn't hold any grudge. what would be the point anyways, there is no way i could get any sort of revenge, not just because of the fact that i already passed away, but also because there is nothing i can do against the sort of power she has. i am rather thankful actually....

having nothing else to do , i decide to stop thinking , and to let myself sink in this never ending dream. . . . . i fall into slumber.....

i wake up again.... this time i notice something different. the area in which i am located in lightened up. it is still heavily dark, but a lighter shade of dark. i wouldn't have been able to realize it without closing and opening my eyes, them when closed showing a perfect black. which leads me to my other observation..... the fact that i was able to close and open my eyes... i didn't notice it earlier since the simple act of blinking is too natural, almost to be point of being subconscious.

it might sounds trivial, but for me , who had the impression of being a lost soul in empty space, it was quite a shock. why ? because it was a physical act. an act that involved the contraction of muscles. yea muscles. an important organic part of the body. a valuable element, if active and responsive, meant that....

nonono. i shouldn't make conclusions so easily, especially when i don't have any sort of accurate knowledge of my current situation. beside , i don't want my cherished dream to end...... i am over thinking it. yea that must be it. i am definitely over thinking it.... i died. i remember it clearly. there is no need to worry about it.... all i need to do is sleep......

several cycles of sleep passed . . . .

the area on which i was lightened even more. to the point where it took the color of a dark reddish. weird...

many more cycles of sleep. . .

the lightening process didn t stop. my vision was blurry , but i could somehow distinguish my surrounding now. i was in some sort of , red circular cavern. the walls had a pattern of many deep red lines , that went through round, hilly , successive bubble looking paths... these were twitching in an irregular way , which gave my surrounding an organic atmosphere....it looked pretty gross....

i didn't like that.where the hell was i ? where did that light come from ? how to make it go away ?

having my precious shadow tainted by this creepy whiteness, and not being able to do anything but watch as it invades my solemn moment , i feel helpless.... i desperately close my eyes, wishing that this invasion would stop , but my prayers were in vain

soon i start to hear noises. first they were like whispers, similar to ghosts haunting me, trying tell me something .... then they became louder and louder..... the more i tried to ignore them, the louder they became.... and the more i tried to understand what they were trying to tell me , the stronger the light shined.

then i start to feel and taste. these sensations should have made me feel at ease , made me feel comfortable , but they didn t . these were disgusting....

the taste, which i thought i was immune of, took me by surprise. my mouth was filled with a liquid , organic , tick like substance.... i realized that it was actually my saliva. tasting like fresh uncooked flesh , i wondered how i could have endured having ...that stuff ... in my mouth without throwing up for these many years. then the feeling of touch follows, making me realize the uncomfortable position i was in , and how small and confined this place actually was.

i really felt like vomiting . i couldn't bear the sudden rise of all these forgotten sensations , forcing their way through my nervous system all at once .... i desperately tried to reject them , but my attempt were futile... tortured by those, having to listen to the incessant incomprehensible rumbling that was screaming directly at my ear drums , while being blinded by that cursed light that just wouldn't stop growing, the only comfort left that i had, sleeping , was taken away.

for god knows how much times had passed, i had to endure it. maybe my suspicions about the illogical fact that i was in heaven were true. maybe i was actually in hell, and noise , discomfort , light, were my punishment....

the light becomes stronger and stronger as time passes. it moves towards me. i am scared..... i don't want this.... i want to run away , but i can t . all i can do is stay still while it submerges me....as i am being consumed by my predator , i unconsciously scream and start to cry...

......................................................................................................................................................

hello dear readers. let me introduce myself... what you thought you already knew who i was ? well you are right , you *knew* more or less about my previous character. but the current situation requires a re-introduction . you might ask *what on earth did happen that you would be forced change your identity ?* the answer is simple. that is because i died.

even though dead people don't suddenly change identity, (unless the person itself would have faked its own death in order to live a new life), i was a special case, since my soul neither ascended to the heaven or fell into the depth or hell, nor did i wake up from the matrix. instead it stayed there , on earth. or that is what my first impression of this alien world was. . .

-algix " ? "

anyways introduction first. in this world , i am known as philux', the 7 years old infant who belongs to the "durbrook" family, which would make my full name philux durbrook , if it wasn't for the fact that i was a slave.... yea , when i said 'belonged', it was more pointed to the *owned by* meaning rather than 'part of'.thanks to that i was deprived of a family name, and was simply known as 'philux', since in this world slaves don t have the right to bear a family name, them being treated as possession rather than persons.

why was i treated as a slave ? well the simple reason could be explained from the nature of my lineage. my parent were slave, and in this world, your fate is written by your ancestors blood. so naturally i became one. the more accurate reason though , would be because i was born as a human, or more commonly known as a *spiritless* . don't misunderstand though. it wasn't because of my skin color , or because of the religious background of my predecessors ,that i have been enslaved from birth, it was literally because i was *human*. in this world the human race wasn't the only sentient specie. others creature, through Darwin evolution, developed and conquered us. to my surprise, one those creature, which happens to be the race of my current masters, were elves.

-algix " hey phillux... are you alright ?"

yes elves. just like the elves in fairy tales and videos game , easily distinguished by their long ears. they hated human. they saw us the same way we saw apes, as hairy primitive creatures. this fact contributed a lot to their negligence for our race , but it wasn't the main reason for their discrimination since there existed other humanoid beings, similar, or even more repulsive than our own. though it s true that *elves* almost ruled the world they somehow coexisted with those others races . the reason for their inconsideration toward humans was because we were *spiritless*.

in this world , magic existed. just as you would imagine it , the use of this universal element , permitted the accomplishment of various task that would be considered impossible on earth , like throwing fireball out of your hand, or summoning monster with an incantation , teleportation , etc....

-algix " phillux!! answer me !"

in this world like that , it is natural that the more affinity you have at controlling this power , the more control you have on others, and as you probably guessed , the elves , since they almost ruled the world , had the highest affinity toward magic, while the humans had none.

not being able to even control one atom of magic , human where the weakest. having no flow of magic circulating in their body , they grew old and died fast while others race, especially elves, lived for centuries. although i don't know the history of this world , humans were probably easily crushed by the superior races and brought to slavery....

and thus their fate was settled , dominated by others , at the best treated like pet. this would be the case for me as well, if that day , the 7th years after my rebirth , i hadn't mysteriously regained memories from my previous life....

-algix " dammit ! phillux! stop daydreaming ! "

-me " hummm .... what ?? .... wait who are you kid !!? "

-algix " heeh ? what do you mean who i am ? it s me ! algix ! "

-me ".... algix ? ... ha yea indeed . . . it s you . . . al . . . my childhood friend. . ."

-algix " jeez .... you are weird sometimes ..... randomly getting silent . . . what were you standing by for anyways ? "

-me " . . . i just . . remembered something... important. . . "

-algix " geez whatever. anyways stop being a slowpoke and get ready up already ! you know what will happen if we are not back in time. . . "

algix , suddenly bringing me back to my senses , is my childhood friend. even though we are the same age he still considers me as a little brother, yet the only link that binds us is our fate as eternal slaves. if my memories are correct , i have considered him myself as a cool older brother, well only up until now , since my memories from my old life came back to me a moment ago. these feeling were put aside, not only because i am technically about 8 times older than he is, but also because my former self hate kids.

-algix " anyways let s go ! "

while saying this , again taking me away from my track of thought, he grabs my wrist and start running. in my past life , i avoided any situation that imposed me physical stress, but somehow in this body , i feel no need to reject these efforts. my body is light , and rather than feeling displeasure while running , i am thrilled an excited. sensations the past me would have thought impossible.

-algix " yahoooo ! "

-me " hey . . . slowdown . . "

-algix " haha . . . come on phil, isn't feeling the wind blowing against you refreshing ? "

-me " yea . . . it s not uncomfortable . . . i guess. . . "

-algix " i know right ! let s go faster ! "

-me " whaa.... haaaa !! "

algix was an active, over optimistic, and easily exited kind of person. maybe it was because of the fact that he was still 8, but he had always much energy to spend, which is even more surprising , considering the fact that most of people would fall into depression if they belonged to a cursed race such as ours. he was a truly admirable and inspiring character. no wonder i treated him as an older brother. i would have probably fell into depression if it wasn't for his presence. . . well only *phillux* to be more precise. the me right now doesn't really care about being an eternal slave , as long as i am fed and have a place to stay. ( yea remember ? i am a formless homeless guy who literally ate and slept on trash. . . i have always been a slave of society , the only difference now are the reasons. )

right now we were located in the backyard of the durbrook family, in the southern part of the household. . . even though they call it * backyard* , the size was about as large of a small forest. actually there was a small forest spreading throughout the east side of the area, followed by a lake and a vast grassland that lead to the main building of the household. that grassland is where we are currently sprinting.

even though i am quite used to this scenery, my former self, being used to the monotone sight of the never-changing streets behind the foodmart, i can't help but fall into awe when observing the epic landscape of my surrounding while running. the sky is beautiful. it is painted by a pure cyan tic tone , yet tainted by greenish-yellowish color, as if it is trying to reflect the grass-field on the ground. it might sound like a boring view, but the surrounding unknown small magical mammal passing by and sometimes staring at us with glowing eyes , the fairies-like creature flowing through the sky, like following the pattern of the cloud that seemed to circulate around a center and, the mysterious small dots of multicolor light that rained up from the ground, vanishing at around 1 meter height, gave it a truly fantastic atmosphere that you could only experience by being inside a final-fantasy game.

after running for about 5 minutes , we finally arrive at destination.

-algix : " fiouf...... we made it in time ... "

exhausted , the moment we stop , i fall into the ground , arm and leg spread in opposite directions

-me : "arng . . . i can't feel my legs . . . dammit al ! what s up with you suddenly sprinting like that

?

-algix : hahaha. . . sorry sorry ~~~ we were running out of time so i thought we should go a little faster.

-me : geez just leave me alone . . . i am the one carrying the *essence orbs* remember ? i can t run recklessly . . .

-algix : that s why i said sorry , beside , you need to exercise a little more , your body is too weak if you are exhausted only after this much . . . you should be thankful to me for giving you this workout session hahahaha

he gives me painful friendly taps on the chest while laughing in this annoyingly irritating way. i was about to complain about that as well but he suddenly block my mouth with his hands.

-me : huumhumm ?!?!

-algix : shhhh! someone just opened the outpost door . . . be quiet and stay down . . .

no need to tell me that... i am already down thanks to your constant abuse. . . well i stay silent this time since he is right:

in front of us is a huge wall that spread out of sight and reaches about 200 meter of height. it s the wall of the back of the mansion. if we continue toward our left , we would find a wooden door, but we didn t since this entrance led to the guard outpost. . .normally, though, at this time of the day, nobody was present , them being busy hunting monsters at the outskirt of whatever this town is called. . . which is why we are alert , since it s the first time we see someone coming out of this door

after making a long sharp hissing noise, the door finally fully opened, revealing to us something surprising. we thought that what would come out would be some lazy guard slacking off his job , but instead we saw the first princess, heir of the royal throne.

-algix : heee ? the princess ? what ??

-me : shhh ! you're too loud , she ll notice us !

in a childish way of taking my revenge for what he did earlier , i take this opportunity to block his oral output with my hands. seeing through my motives , he becomes irritated, but only for a moment since this feeling was easily removed by uneasiness when the princess begins slowly walking toward our direction. i myself should have been pretty restless about this situation , but her unique appearance struck me even more.

it s the first time that the homeless me sees an elf. as i had expected , they were blessed by beauty, but the creature right in my sight far surpassed those expectations. her face seemed to reflect the perfect facial feature, showing no visible flaws, and her body proportions were damn sexy . she is dressed in a noble outfit that looks pretty expensive , with many lacy fabric that spread out the edges of the green coat like uniform that matched her long blond slick hair. these contrasted with the sword holstered around her waist, her black tight spandex shorts made for training purposes, and adventurer boots, that told us she wasn't just a defenseless princess, but a trained warrior. . . though the perverted me didn't really care about that , my eyes fixed at these meaty intercrural created by these tight spandex. . .

nononono ! it s not the time to be distracted by my carnal instinct ! the last time i did that i ended up being sadistically murdered ! and with her cold blue eyes and the intense stare she has , i don't think she is going to show us any mercy . . . but even when i say that , it s the same as before ! i can t do anything ! i don't want to die again. . . dying is painful. . . i dont want to experience it again. . . i know ! maybe i sho-

algix : " she is gone "

he says, before i can make a desperate suggestion , that was totally not about running away mindlessly . my eyes closed out of fear the whole time , i ask him what happened.

algix : " i am not sure myself. . . the moment i was about launch a surprise attack, she suddenly stopped , took a startled expression , and went back the same way she came . . . maybe she felt my amazing aura and was scared ? fue fue fue . . .

-me : " don't be foolish, if she noticed us there is no way she would have just backed down like that. after all slaves escaping from their cage is a serious matter. . . she wouldn t feign ignorance about it since if the news spread such incident occurred, great shame would be brought to the durbrook family. . . and launch a surprise attack ? are you mad ? we are five year old infant that are about the same height of her lower leg and she looked like a deadly swordwoman. even if we somehow miraculously managed to physically empower her , she would probably use magic to subdue us.

-algix : . . . i know ! but what else could have we done ? run away like cowards ?

what s wrong with running away like cowards ? not only we are infant , but we are slave. . . where the hell did he get all that pride ?

-me : . . . anyways . . . she is gone . . . she must have been lost or something. . . we are safe now . . . let s hurry !

-algix: h-hey ! i am the one supposed to say that !

taking the lead, i grab the bag made of ragged clothes that transported the *essences orbs* and crawl into the small hole in the wall that permitted us to access the backyard. algix , annoyed that i took the initiative , quickly follows. . .

the hole made from a crack at the lowest part of the wall created a small tunnel that directly led us to the cell that was assigned to us. convenient isn't it ? this allowed us to freely explore the backyard and get some fresh air for a change, since our cell isn't the most enjoyable place to live in. . .

the moment we set a foot to our private place, or at least for the time being since nobody was around to check our state right now, the pure and epic atmosphere from the outside suddenly gets taken away, replaced by an uneasy air, accentuated by the strong smell of dirty hay , which made breathing a challenge.

i usually pinch my nose at this moment , but the homeless me didn t find the need to do that since he is already used to this smell. it actually gave me a somewhat nostalgic feeling. . .

-algix : fiouff we made it in time !

he wasn't bothered by the smell either. i guess you get used to it when it s the kind of air you d inhaled since birth. . .

miraculously getting tired, he falls on the comfy pack of hay that serves us as bed and let out a huge yawn. not that he s planning to fall asleep, it would be a very bad time for that. he just wanted to release his accumulated stress from the unexpected event we encountered. myself needing a relaxation outlet, i follow the flow of his action , and sit right next to him. i then bring up the backpack and unload its content meticulously. i start counting the essence orb. regaining his strength in no time, as if he wasn't even tired to begin with , he stares at them with with sparkly eyes.

-algix : so pretty !

-me : hum ? you always says that whenever you see those , like it s the first time you get close to these. . .

not even paying attention to what i say, like mesmerized by the shiny blue orbs, he quickly grabs one and start rubbing it passionately while letting out creepy giggling, as if he was caressing breasts for the first time. ( because this is what i would do if i was allowed grope a woman chest) . worried that he might drool on these, i say

-me : hey be careful with these ! if they are undamaged their efficiency will be reduced !...

probably....

interrupting him from his moment of bliss, he stares at me with an annoyed expression

-algix : heee ? do you take me for a fool ! i wouldn t damage our tickets for freedom!

-me : humm.. i guess you right . . . you want to be free after all . . .

essence orb, that we harvest on a daily basis at the shore of the lake. indeed our ticket for freedom. why? because those magical stone have an unique attribute : magic absorption.

how is this going to help us gain our freedom ? it s simple: by canceling the effect of some magical shield

up until now , even though we had the amazing luck of possessing an exit that connected the backyard to our cage, we were still trapped since after reaching the farthest side of the woods from the main building, we discovered that the entire mansion was surrounded by a magical barrier. unless you would know the proper spell that would enable you to go through it , you would be as stuck as a rat trapped inside a huge sphere of diamond. but by using the mana absorption properties of a fair amount of essence orbs , one could dissolve the concentration of magic in a fixed point of the barrier and go through it. and that was our plan.

you might wonder, how did puny infants slave came to find such uniques stone , much less understood its properties, given the fact that they were slave , therefore had no education ? truthfully most of it was due to coincidal luck . . . but let's leave it to that for now , unless you are interested of reading a long and annoying flashback-story ... ( if you are actually one of these weirdoes, well.... sucks to be you )

after bringing the topic of freedom , an uncomfortable , yet seemingly deep moment of silence follows. during that time, algix s usual childish facial mood morph into what would looks like an adult expression full of worries: his heart was troubled.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

me : if everything goes well, we should be able to get out of here by tomorrow, after the guards leave for mob-cleaning duties.

algix : .....

he stays quiets ... don t tell me he is bailing out of our plan ? that would be quite irritating, considering the fact that he would have made me waste 2-years worth of effort. man... that s one of the reasons i hate kids. always bragging about revolutionary ideas , yet losing their guts when facing them. he better not be one of these brat or i ll. . . well actually there is nothing i can do about it . . . being powerless really sucks. .

algix : hey... phil . . . do you really think . . . we can be free ?

he asks me in disbelief, while staring at me , as if he was expecting a life-changing revelation . not used of being glared at with such intensity , (since i used to have such a grotesque physic, that looking at me for more than 5 seconds would be similar to commit suicide by sight ) i timidly avert my eyes from his , pointing my view at a random thing on the ground , hoping he would get a clue of my discomfort.

sadly for me , this act probably just made him think that i was actually deeply thinking about his *wanna-be tragic hero with a tragic past from some annoyingly cliche story* kind of question, since he was now observing me more intensively.

...now that i take a good look at his face , he looks pretty cute. actually more than cute , he look pretty stunning, and that says a lot , since his ginger messy hair were flooded by dirt and his face was tainted by occasional scratches and hay residue( can t imagine how much of a pretty boy he would be if he took a bath ). it may be due to the androgynous nature of his age, but i once admired myself through the reflection of the crystal clear lake , and my male traits were steadily defined , actually far too much , since it gave me quite a grotesque and repulsive appearance. (just like my past self actually)

unwilling to affect my sexuality by making not so straight remark about my male( ? )friend, i put a stop to my track of thought and hasten to answer his cheesy question with an equally cheesy response:

me : just as dragons flows the sky , we shall fly away !

confused , he asks

algix: humm ? what s a dragon ?

me : arrgn .... nevermind ....

to be fair i am not even sure if they exist in this word anyways, but i assume so since this realm looks like the copy-cat of some classic rpg-fantasy game, and what kind of fantasy rpg worth of its name doesn t have a dragon , or any other kind of giant flying reptile -like Creature on it ?

algix : i don't know what a dragon is but.... just as you said , we will definitely fly away and flow in the sky !

there are so many reasons to why the fate of our little jail breaking expedition will inevitably meet our demise, but oh well. . . seeing him regaining his cheerfulness kind of blinded me into this delusion,( that was supposed to be sarcastic), so i retained myself of making any pessimistic comments . . . maybe i fell for him and really turned gay after all. . .

me : yea , i am sure we wil-

before i can finish my sentence , i am splashed by a sudden cold blow of freezing water.

......................................................................................................................................................

guard : WAKE UP YOU BLOODY FILTH ! IT S WORKING TIME !

shouts my favorite blood-elf, the person that has been in charge of bringing us to *work*, for the past 8 years. Of course that was sarcasm , and if i ever had the same power as the brat that murdered me, i would make him drown into his own piss, just for the sake of making him experience what it s like to get woken up by cold water everyday , especially when most of the time you actually are already awake..... ah well... at least now , thanks this *surprise-bath* , we were now somehow a lot cleaner , since it seems like the water thrown at us had some kind of cleansing attribute . (don't ask me how it works , i guess it s some fancy elf magic )

Algix and I fall on our knees and start coughing , having swallowed quite some of it ( i hope that stuff isn't toxic ). The guard , annoyed by our non-spontaneousness at following him , proceed to brutally kick us with his iron boot in order to release his obvious frustration at being nothing more than a mere Guard of 2 spiritless infants, until we eventually pass out from the pain. After being satisfied at throwing his anger issues at us, he grabs the chain attached to our neck and drags our inert bodies, like some worthless meat bags, to the place where we proceed to our daily routine......

we wake up in a large fancy room that gave off a royal atmosphere , the walls being covered with paintings of nobles men/women and others historical figures, the entire floor bearing a large solemn medieval carpet overly decorated by some magical design, and the ceiling, where was hung a large spiral-formed chandelier, lit up by some floating cyan-tic flames instead of candles, managed to brighten up the entire room that is pretty vast.

Being blinded by that sudden brightness, that imposed itself to my frails eyes, and upon trying to cover them from its light source , i realize that i am shackled to some kind of magical device that binded my movements , thus rendering me immobile in a X shaped position.

first prince: Look ! the spiritless are awake !

second princess: hehehe..... time to have some fun. .

.

say the 2 royals childs present in the room, with a sadistic smile on their face. My eyes still having trouble to get used of the overly dramatic light , i discern the origin of these voices with my hearing. From what i could deduce, the two kids (who looked like a certain group of twin from a certain fictional Japanese band of multicolored-haired teenagers)were in front of us , about 10 meters away from our shackled-selves.

King : watch your manners child ! you must finish your meal first!

says his highness himself, owner of the Durbrook family , to his bloodthirsty kids. not because he felt pity toward our pathetic situation , but only because he didn't finish his meal yet , worried that he might not enjoy the show that was about to happens, to its fullest. (and yea this huge-ass room was just their dining place, and as sadistic as it might sounds,they liked to have their own torture show after filling their stomachs with some suspicious looking food... you know , just like watching TV on a late Saturday... )

i turn my head to my right, seeing Algix glaring at them with an hostile look on his face.

second princess: this one is looking at us funny dad !

first prince: yea ! even though they are nothing but shitty spiritless !

second princess: ...... how about we teach them a lessons ?

she says , while charging a lightning spell on her right hand, that would be aimed at us ...... or i would hope she d do that instead of what she was actually planning, which is a lot more painful than some simple shock attack.

you see , the devices i talked about earlier , the one that restrained us, well they don t simply have for only function keeping us immobile, so that we could be gazed at like some kind of artist display: its main function was to amplify whatever spell was targeted at it and strike its prisoner with the now more devastating spell. In order to prevent it s victim from dying , powerful healing enchantments were cast on those things. In short , if you still don t get it , that stuff if a magical torture device.

anticipating our agony (also known as their pleasure ) , she smirks and lets the fully charged energy bolt oscillate its way to Algix restrainer. A thunder-like sound emits from it , then follows his screams.

Algix : HAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGNGGGNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second princess : haaa sweet melody......

she says, as she takes a blissful expression

first prince : hey ! don't start without me ! that s unfair !

feeling left out of the fun , he take his turn and, unlike his sister, charges up a small fireball , that he throws at my restrainer this time.

Me : ARRRGNNNNNN FUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

first prince : hahahahah ..... this one makes funny noises ! i ll keep playing with it !

second princess : heehh ? this ugly monkey and his savages screams entertains you ? you sure do have odd tastes, dear brother.

first prince : the more pathetic they look , the merrier it is to torment them . . .well i guess dear

sister, who only likes breaking apart beautiful things, could not understand that .

second princess : you are absolutely right dear brother, . . . i myself wonder when i will have the occasion to have a *private session* with you ...

first prince : hahaha you flatter me dear sister ! i too can't wait to bring out all the filth hidden behind this pretty face of yours !

second princess : ho... my.... fufufufufu....

first prince : hahahaaha.......

to be sincere, i wouldn't be surprised if they are dead serious about it , and are really looking forward torturing each others. I hope they d actually haste themselve to proceed so , since i am no fan of daily intensive pain.

King Durbrook : geez these childs.... how impertinent. . . i wish they were a little more like you , Aglareth

says an handsome middle aged king with a blonde mustache to his first daughter, seated right beside him( what can i say, elves were really blessed by beauty in this world... about the first princess , or Aglareth as i just learned, well you already know )

first princess, heir of the throne, Aglareth: i am flattered , father.

King Durbrook: why don't you join them and have some fun ?

Aglareth : i am afraid i can't father, duty awaits, and i need to get prepared for tomorrow.

King Durbrook: As expected of my favorite one. Always Punctual and hard-working. You may proceed as you like. just don t forget your obligations toward me ....

Aglareth : of course father. now if you excuse me...

she says , then stand up from her seat and proceed to leave this place , the same way she did when we encountered her earlier... she really is a mystery . Wonder what goes inside that head of hers. . . i have to give her credits thought for not participating/assisting to the cruel torture of under aged kids , she might not be so bad afte-

first prince: Fireball !

me: ARRRGNGNG SHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT

first prince : HAhahaha ! it made a weird noise again ! so funny !

if you still don't understand yet the foundation of my deep hatred for people under the age of 18, you are either illiterate or actually enjoy getting tormented by kids. (you pervert )

second princess : humm... good for you brother . . .

first prince: huh ? what s the matter sister ?

second princess : well my toy won t *sing* for me anymore, and is showing resistance. . .

if by *singing* she meant algix screams of agony, they indeed dulled. I thought it was because he passed out from the pain, but i guess he just didn want to succomb to the torture, by showing his determination , strong will , or whatever. . . what a fool, that is exactly what sadistic people want : a desperate hope that they can break.

first prince : hehehe . . . don't worry sister , he only need a little motivation. . . why don't you tell him about "that" ?

second princess : heeeeh ~~~ you mean that little plan of their, brother ?

upon hearing their words, Algix defiant look suddenly turns into a complex expression that mixed curiosity , anxiety, and strong weariness from all the physical abuses he had to endure. Mine didn't change that much, since i expected this kind of outcome. . .

Suddenly regaining her enthusiasm after smirking at algix perplexed face , she and her brother follow

first prince: what!?, did you really think we didn't know about your puny escape plans and your pointless adventure on the backyard ??

second princess: hahaha that's cute ! they thought they could get out of here !

algix , his voice trembling from despair, mutters

agix: no.... this can't be ... how ?

first prince : hahaha are you stupid ? of course we monitor each of your movements ! did you really thing that crawling into an obviously noticeable fissure would stay unknown ?

second princess : they said they wanted to fly away like dragon ! like hell they will !

Algix whole body starts trembling in despair , while trying to hold his tears from running down his cheeks . . . i kind of feel bad for the kid. . . his dreams shattered in an instant. . . well on the bright side , it seems like dragons do exist in this world, just like i assumed. and thats a good thing ! .... right ?

second princess: aww he wants to cry~~~~

first prince : don t be sad, my sister have better plans for you .... why don't you show it sis ?

second princess : indeed, i am sure it ll like it !

as soon as she says that, she charges up not an attack spell this time, but an illusion one. She didn't need to throw anything at the device, since the evil dark-purple miasma that was emitted from her head slowly twirled itself into the head-holder/helmet thing of the device that kept algix in captivity.

once all of the evil mater made its way through the device circuits into the poor kid s head, a short moment of silence follows . . . After about 10 seconds, Algix suddenly starts to convulse and spasm heavily, opening his eyes so widely that it seemed they would fall from his eyes sockets, his pupils shrinking into a small dots , clenching his teeth while weeping , as if he just became a victim of the devil scare-prank.

second princess : so... cute....

aroused by his priceless expression , she starts heavily breathing, like some kind of pervert from those japanese ero games. she then walk slowly to the boy in agony, holds firmly his face with both of her hand just like a husband about to kiss his wife, then starts to lick the tears running down his cheeks . . . algix wet himself and passes out from fear.

first prince : eww it peed itself !

second princess : and fainted too.... just when i was starting to have fun...

king Durbrook: hahahah brilliant ! that look of despair in its face ! quite entertaining ! you truly remind me of your mother, Aradhelneth..... although i don't understand why you had to..... touch that filth, yet lick it...

.

first prince : i Know right ! sister sure has some weird fetishes~~~

Aradhelneth : geez leave my alone !..... father may I..... play further with my toy in Private Quarters ?

King durbrook : humm sure , but be sure to not kill it ok ? it is a valuable specimen....

Aradhelneth : yay ! thanks you dad !

she says as she leaves the room, levitating algix body with magic , like some broken doll whose only movement were the ones that gravity imposed on it.

first prince: heh ??? that s not fair dad ! why can t i play with the spiritless in my room too ?

King Durbrook : that s because you haven't entertained me enough yet ! your toy looks calm, to the point where i am starting to feel like it s getting comfortable....

He says , while giving me a disappointed glare. Part of his sayings were true though. If it wasn't for the torture , i wouldn't mind taking a nap while bonded by one of these devices. way more comfortable than the ground of our cage if you ask me.

first prince : hehehe....you heard father ..... let s see if we can make you squeal and pee just like your friend!

as he promises , i soon start squealing until i faint from pain.... while peeing myself of course.

......................................................................................................................................................

and there comes the last part of our daily torment, the part where we are used as lab rats. . . or should i say where i am used as a rat lab, since it seems that Algix has been excused this part today. Can't say if he is lucky or not though , not because of the fact that he'd deserve a break after being mentally raped by that sadistic girl, but because what she is going to *play* with him could be a lot more traumatic than some mere laboratory experiences.

How the room where some pervy elf scientist would touch my now naked body with all kind of weird machinery is ? (just kidding, they wouldn t want to get their precious machines filthy. They use magic to molest us. ) ... well compared to the place i was before, this one is the opposite. this room is pretty much just a square covered in white, kind of like those cells they put lunatic people in, except that instead of those safety cushion that should be spread throughout the walls, there is a rectangular metal table in the middle, where i am lain and bound, still in that relaxing X shaped position.

even though this place is perfectly closed, and i see no entry-way where air could vibrate from the outside to my eardrums, i hear people .

scientist 1 : subject brain activity increasing

scientist 2 : checking primary vital organs state. . . . . primary vital organs working.

chief scientist: Good. start the drug test . prepare to administer the *Element 002b3 *

scientist 1 : preparing 1 Milligrams of the substance.

scientist 2: injecting the substance . . .

glowing soft red light surrounds my body from toes to head. i feel some unease building up , but aside from that nothing happens. . .guess they didn't had enough juice heh ?

scientist 1 : injection has no effects

chief scientist : . . .add more juice to it !

scientist 2 : . . . preparing 2 Milligrams of the substance .

scientist 1: injecting the substance . . .

this time, the red light loose its soft shade. unlike before , i can actually feel the substance forcibly penetrating my skin until reaching my veins. I wouldn't call it painful (yet), but this alien feeling was anything but pleasant. . . it is quite nauseous

scientist 2 : subject digestive system getting unstable . Injection has no other effects.

chief scientist : well ... looks like it s gonna take a while. keep injecting the substance until optimal results manifest !

scientists : understood . . . preparing 3Milligrams of the substance . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . shit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

*4 hours later . . .*

scientist 1: preparing 1.023Grams of the substance.

scientist 2: injecting the substance . . .

An overwhelming pitch black cloud engulfs my whole body . the Raging storm of unstable magic, making the whole room shake, violently assault my almost dead corpse and rips out my flesh, making my blood squirt in all directions. As i scream, Glowing red light can be seen emitting from my mouth , eyes , nose , ears , and other exit points of my organism ( yea , i was literally shooting red magic out of my ass ).

Once the fleo calms down, the damages that i received from all these failed attempts to do whatever they were trying to accomplish, slowly reveal themselves.

apart from my right arm and left leg that were violently detached from my body between the 500th and 700th injection, and my now unrecognizable face, painted in blood and without lips, nose , and a missing eye, nothing serious . . . well i guess that is just a little problematic. . .

You might think that i must have some balls of steel in order to have not been driven crazy by the pain yet . Well don't be fooled , since i can t experience *pain* anymore : the part responsible for sensations in my nervous system has somehow been damaged, taking away my ability to feel stuff. . . why do i scream then ? well. . . i actually don't know why myself, it is more like an involuntary action , like a sudden reflex . I am no wizard, but my guess is that it occurred in order to let out the accumulated magic concentration in my body escape.

scientist 2: subject s vital organs heavily damaged. an halt to the experiment is suggested.

chief scientist : Halting the process is not an option ! keep going

scientist 1: but sir. . . not only we risk to lose a valuable specimen , but it doesn't look like the test-room can take another magical blow of this magnitude . . .

Chief scientist : You fool ! the king gave us 5 years to unlock the secrets of the *002b3* element ! and now , at the 364th day of the 4th year of our count down , we still have made zero progress ! don t you understand what he'll do to us if we don t bring good news tomorrow !!??

scientists : . . .

Chief scientist : that s what i thought. now do as i say i continue the experiment !

scientist 2 : as you wish sir . . . preparing 1.024Grams of the substance.

chief scientist : . . . no we don't have time to work with this kind of precision . . . inject everything.

at his words, the 2 scientists show a moment of hesitation. The chief allowed this short period of doubt his 2 sidekicks displayed, since he himself knows how crazy this idea is. But they were desperate, and would rather blow themselves up with this facility rather than become a victim of King DurBrook insatiable sadistic urges.

almost on a suicidal tone, the voice says

scientist 1: preparing the substance *002b3*

scientist 2: injecting all of the substance......

first , nothing happens, as if the injection actually succeeded this time. but unfortunately, betraying their hope , a spark of red lighting tears the atmosphere, giving birth to what looked like a red mini-black hole. The red sphere, that kept shrinking while trembling , absorbing some kind of multicolored magic, suddenly disappeared. . . and blew up from inside my guts, that would have been sent out flying everywhere. . , if of course i had not become a living bomb that would have instantly destroyed half of that castle. . .

And yep , i died again . . .well at least this time i didn't feel any pain like the last time, not just because my spine was broken, but as well because the whole process only took about 3 seconds.

while i was getting comfy in my beloved darkness , that i have been separated with for 8 years now , a screen suddenly appears before me

*you died*

. . . .de fuck ?

*death count: 1*

. . . whatever that shit is, it doesn't know how to count.

*status windows unlocked. . . would you like to open it ?*

wait wait wait .... hold on. . . . you can t be serious right ? . . . this kind of setting ? . . . now that i think about it, i should have predicted this. . . with the reincarnation , the fantasy world , the magic. . . looks like that anonymous chick- self proclaimed omnipotent being has been reading a lot of Japanese light novel . . .

well . . . if that s what she want, i ll play along with her nerdy passions. . . i just hope she realize what kind of gamer i used to be when i was a kid. . .

me : open tab menu

*tab menu opened. enter console keys*

holy shit it actually worked ? well then. . .

me: TGM (toggle god mode)

*god mode activated*
