"Daammn! I have only 20 days left to live." Erik cried, his voice filled with fake despair. Who was he kidding? If he wanted he could buy a lifespan bead.

Unknowingly, 7 days have passed since Erik arrived in this world.

Just how fast time flies. Erik could have never guessed something like this could happen to him.

He got up from his bed and started walking out to perform his morning duty.

The air in the garden was fresh like usual, the sun still shone brightly in the sky.

But one thing was completely different. The garden was too quiet. It was never like this, there would be constant sound of workers doing their work or fighting among themselves.

Erik felt strange in this quiet atmosphere.

He had a creepy feeling about it.

Erik started to clean the garden, he gently broomed afraid of making noise.

Suddenly, his eyes landed on the old man who had welcomed him 6 days ago in the garden.

Erik started to frown, the old man's eyes were similar to a dead fish looking straight ahead without blinking.

The old man's actions were like a puppet with a string attached. All of his actions were stiff and robotic.

"No fucking way!!." Erik roared in his head, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He closed his mouth with his hands in a hurry.

Some distance away a man with whom Erik was extremely familiar with was lying on the ground.

It was none other than Little D.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

The same guy who had thrashed Erik that night.

However, this time little was missing something.

His body was armless. It looked as if someone had chopped them off with an extremely sharp weapon and burned the wound.

Crunch!

Erik's foot unknowingly landed on a dry branch.

Erik felt as if placed his feet on a landmine, not just a dry branch.

The old man turned his head in the direction of Erik and smiled showing its decayed teeth.

Blood started to ooze out of Erik's eyes.

"No! No! My eyes."

"What is going on?" Erik's eyes started to burn. He felt as if someone had poured red chilli powder into his eyes.

Erik tried to rub his eyes to alleviate the pain but the pain increased several fold with touch.

Erik wanted to scream and cry. But he couldn't as he still remembered about the challenge.

If he opened his mouth and cried, his challenge would fail.

Erik didn't know when he would get another challenge. What if didn't get any other, how will he buy another bead?

The old man walked like a puppet in the direction of Erik.

When the old man was just a foot away from Erik. He raised his broom in the air and attacked Erik's head.

Swoosh!

Erik only heard a sound and the broom was above his head.

At this point, Erik had already closed his eyes. He wasn't able to see, he only felt a sharp pain in his head and fainted.

"Oh! Another medicine slave." The rough voice of an old man woke Erik out of his slumber.

"Yeah, Master Rain!" Someone threw Erik on the ground and laughed. " What do you think about it, Master Rain?"

"Hmm." Master Rain nodded as he examined Erik with evil eyes. " Too skinny! He won't even survive a week!" He frowned.

"Yes! I know but his blood is strange..." Alia explained.

"Strange blood." Apparently, Rain was now interested and his eyes lit up.

"Definitely," Alia confirmed.

"This is good." Master Rain smirked. He continued to stare at Erik. After quite a while, he nodded slowly, " Very good. Miss Alia feeds him. He seemed to have lost a lot of blood. A severely injured slave won't be able to handle my experiments."

"Do not worry master." Alia wore her rigid face and scolded, " Jack! What are you doing? Shackle this man as soon as possible."

"Yes mam," Jack said in a hoarse voice. And brought a pair of chains and tied Erik's hand and leg with the chain.

"Jack! Don't forget to feed him. I'm going to look for more medicine slaves for master karu."

Alia spoke in a plain voice and rushed out of the building.

Jack only nodded robotically at her words and didn't say anything else.

Erik was finally completely awake. He ignored the pain and observed everything.

He knew it would be useless to say anything at the moment. In this dog-eat-dog world, morals were the last thing one should believe in. He will receive no pity and will only become a skeleton if he doesn't adapt to this world soon.

The pain Erik was feeling increased with every passing second. The newly added shackles were like mountains on his feeble body. It was beginning to be harder for him to do even basic things such as standing or walking.

[Ding! Higher Being Enormous Tower and Higher Being Madcarrot are highly entertained by your present situation.]

[Higher Being Enormous Tower is especially excited to see you suffer.]

"Damn! This bitch Enormous Tower."

"What a fucking sadist."

Erik cursed in his mind. He was shocked by the sadistic nature of higher beings.

But, what the hell happened? Everything was fine and dandy in the evening.

"How did he end up in chains?" Erik's mind was filled with confusion. He wasn't able to comprehend the situation.

"Bang!"

Erik suddenly got lashed by a whip, which was so fast and powerful that his back was cracked open and ached badly. He turned around to see the weird man Jack smirking with a whip in his hand.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two more lashes landed on him one after the other.

"Ahhh!" "My back"

Erik shouted while gritting his teeth. He had never felt such pain in his entire life.

A strange smile appeared on Jack's face. When he saw the expression of Erik was filled with pain.
