Alex found his eyes and mouth covered. But, not long after, a person uncovered the cloth covering his eyes.
'Why is it still so dark?'
Ares found himself tied to a wooden chair in a dark room, with just one torch as the source of light.
"Hello kid. Guessing by your looks you must be a student here."
"...."
"Not gonna talk eh?"
"...."
"Well you broke into the lab, so you have to pay."
"...."
"Men, search him."
Two men entered the dark room and searched Ares. They found his student book. The person in charge seemed to be happy finding this.
"AHAHAHAH!!! This just gets easier and easier!!"
"!!!"
Alerted by his laugh, Ares struggled to untie himself. This might seem as a brave move, but in truth he was just scared shitless. He just wanted to run away.
But his thoughts went back to reality. The person in charge talked to him again. That person was reading Ares's student book.
"Ares Zidoris, age 15, 1st year student, scholar division. Psshhh, Zidoris?? Why did your parents give you the great emperor's name?"
"...."
"Why did such a pipsqueak from a small scholar family have the emperor's last name?
"...."
"Was it out of their parents' ego? In any way, your name sullifies the emperor. Only descendants of the emperor should have that name."
"...."
"And what's this?? Almost perfect scores on every science studies, you have quite the brains."
"...."
"Oh silly me, I forgot why you didn't speak. Your mouth was covered with cloth. I shall remove it myself."
The person removed the cloth covering Ares's mouth.
"FUCK YOU!!!!"
"Oh, quite the potty mouth."
After hearing the person's respond, Ares spat at the person's foot.
Seeing his shoe covered half in spit, the person went mad.
BOOM~CRUNCH
In an instant, a shockwave blowed away the two lackeys away and Ares's legs was twisted like a noodle.
"RAAAAAARRRGHHHHGGHHH!!!! MY L-LEGSSS!!! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!?"
"AHAHAHAHAH, that was payback for spitting on a lovely man such as myself."
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"Y-YOU.... YOU!!!!!!"
Whilst writhing in Ares had his life flashback. But what was weird was, it wasn't one life, but two. The latter life he saw, was all of his Earth dreams, even things that didn't appear in his dreams like his Earth version's childhood.
"Kid, forget your name. We will give you a new name."
"HUFF HUFF HUFF, PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT ABOUT THIS!!!! RAARRGHH!!!!"
"Oh no they won't, after this, we will inform your parent and school that we had sent you to the capital as an exchange student. I'm sure they would be happy."
"HOW!??! Y-you're- the PRINCIPAL??"
The person, or rather the principal smiled widely.
"I am. I also ally with the kingdom, they will cover for me if I get into trouble eheheh."
The principal was a man of wits, before he was the principal, he was the kingdom's trusted officer. He excelled at using magic rings.
"Without further ado, let's cut to the chase. Men, bring him to the flesh room."
"Y-yessir!"
"Arrgh what are you going to do to me?! Answer me!!"
"Oh nothing, we are just trying to invent something new. From now on we should call you 'Flesh 1'."
As the two men carried Ares to the flesh room, Ares saw the horrors of the place.
cells full of mangled humans and creatures are left and right. The passageway they carried him seemed to be a cellar of sort.
It seemed that they had carried experiments in that place. The walls and floors are made of stone and dirt with the occasional wood.
Dried blood was everywhere, bones and such was as easy to encounter as pebbles on the road.
Arrived at the room, the two lackeys tied him to another chair.
Concerned about his legs, Ares asked about how would they deal with his legs.
"H-HEY!! Don't leave yet, what about my legs?!"
But they didn't answer. They just left him.
Baffled by the events, his sight went black and he quickly fainted.
After the two men left, a woman came in. The woman was silent. After she came in, she poured an elixir onto the twisted legs and quickly left afterwards.
The noodle-like legs eventually straightened into normal looking legs.
