I opened my eyes and saw the three people looking at me. In an instant, the emotion of hatred overwhelm my whole body.

I started to feel my body getting lighter. A feeling of ecstasy also joined in my mind. Uncontrollable emotions started to run amok in my mind.

"He-... kill all-.. hahahaha-... pluck your fingers....heh-... the face of despair-..."(Jeff)

Due to the emotions overwhelming me, my speech also got distorted. My expression was also messed up, it was something like a mix of happiness, hatred and sadness. It was quite indescribable.

"Hey, what's with you...."(Ricardo)

"....."(Chert)

"What's happening~..."(Cara)

Noticing the change of my behavior, the three of them suddenly take caution at me.

They took a step back and held their weapons.

"haha-....HAHAHAHAHAHA!"(Jeff)

I laughed maniacally at them. Their expression turned sour as they stare at me. The echoes of laughter spreading around the dungeon gave it an eerie atmosphere.

In an instant Jeff disappeared in front the three. What they didn't know was that he activated >Power of Insanity<, making him able to break the roots binding him and giving him an increase in speed, making him disappear in a blink of an eye.

"What?!"(Cara)

"Where is he...?"(Chert)

"Don't falter, keep your guards up!"(Ricardo)

Cara and Chert started to panic so Ricardo encouraged them. A voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They didn't know where it came from, making them unable to know Jeff's position.

"Why...why did... you guys betray me? Why?!"(Jeff)

The voice contained anger and sadness. Ricardo and the others didn't know what to do. They couldn't risk moving from their position not knowing what will happen.

Without them noticing Jeff appeared on top of them. Before they could react Chert was drag away by Jeff. He didn't kill him, he just kicked his abdomen making him fall unconscious,although some of his ribs might have been broken in the process.

"Shit, Cara back me up!"(Ricardo)

Ricardo charged towards Jeff and thrust his sword to Jeff. He continuously attacked Jeff with by swinging his sword. Since Jeff's stats is higher than theirs, it was easy for him to dodge all of it.

">Root Bind

Cara tried to hold Jeff's movement with her magic, but Jeff was too fast to be caught by her magic. Jeff started to ignore Ricardo, and focused on Cara.

Jeff used >Shadow Step< and went straight towards Cara. He appeared behind her and performed a chop with his hand on her nape, making her fall unconscious.

"La-last one..."(Jeff)

With a distorted voice filled with excitement, Jeff started to dash towards Ricardo who was the only one remaining.

Despite being cornered Ricardo mustered his courage and tried to defend himself, which ultimately failed. The moment Jeff swung his dagger in Ricardo's sword it was split into two.

Making the final attack, Jeff sent his fist straight into Ricardo's face. Blood came out from the mouth and nose of Ricardo as he flew towards the hallway.

He tried to maintain his consciousness but it was slowly fading. The only thing he remembered before his vision went black was Jeff glaring at him with excitement while grinning.

-

When the three woke up, they found their body was tied by ropes. They were also stripped down from they armors and weapon, living them wearing only simple clothing.

In front of them was Jeff staring at them with wide open eyes, focusing at their figures.

"We're friends right...? But you betrayed me! Unforgivable!"(Jeff)

Jeff was spouting words of hatred, they couldn't speak at all. They have no reason after all. But Ricardo spoke up making an excuse.

"Hey, w-we were just joking with you, i-it was just a prank..."(Ricardo)

He couldn't help stuttering his words. No matter how you look at it, he was definitely lying. That was the only idea that popped in his mind in amidst of his nervousness.

"I see... it was just a prank? Then.... I'll forgive you I guess...."(Jeff)

The three of them felt relieve. But...

"Like I would say that.... You think I'm just a kid with a naive mind?! I'm gonna slaughter all of you!"(Jeff)

Their hope was shattered immediately into pieces. They cannot escape now. Their face started to express despair.

"Which should I start with? Eenie mini miny-"(Jeff)

Using a game as a way to choose, the one who was picked first was...

"moe..."(Jeff)

...Ricardo.

Sweats started to fall in his face. He didn't know what will happen to him now.

Jeff grabbed Ricardo's hair and dragged him away from the two but enough to see him clearly.

"Now watch..."(Jeff)

Giving the two who were left. Jeff held his knife.

"Let's start with breaking some bones."(Jeff)

"Wha-... Ahhhhhhh!"(Ricardo)

Jeff stepped on Ricardo's leg breaking the bones in it. And then crushed the the other leg. Ricardo screamed loudly as he felt the pain on his legs. The sound of the bones being crushed and grinded. Jeff's face was filled with ecstasy and enjoyed the face of Ricardo being tortured.

Jeff removed the ropes on Ricardo since he couldn't move now. He pushed his back beside a wall.

"Next... fingers."(Jeff)

Jeff started to put his dagger near Ricardo's fingers. He's face was filled with excite that his body was shaking from the thrill.

One by one he cut Ricardo's finger slowly. He could feel the sensation of the flesh and bones as the dagger cut them. Ricardo kept screaming the whole time. The other couldn't even afford to watch him being tortured. Their body was shaking from fear.

"You can't die yet."(Jeff)

Pulling one of the potion from his magic bag, he forcefully made Ricardo drink them to stop his bleeding. But the sensation of from his body still resided.

He dragged Ricardo again and brought him back close to the two, fingerless.

"Why don't we have Chert as our host next?"(Jeff)

Jeff with a big smile on his face and blood all over it, decided to have Chert as his toy next.

He pulled Chert from the ground and forced to stand in front of the Ricardo and Cara.

Jeff removed the ropes on Chert. Chert could have ran away but the fear took over his body making him unable to move from his position.

"Here, hold this."(Jeff)

Jeff gave Chert an iron dagger from his magic bag. Chert was confused, not knowing what to do.

"Hey, don't do anything stupid with it, okay?"(Jeff)

Jeff warned Chert. He couldn't help but followed his order.

"Now, the game will play will be the game of "choosing". Don't worry you will now get hurt in this game.

Chert didn't get what Jeff was saying. He also didn't know if he was lying on not hurting him.

"Now, choose Ricardo or Cara..."(Jeff)

Chert heard the voice of his friends. But he was unsure on what the game was.

"Let me say it again clearly. Who will you kill? Ricardo or Cara?"(Jeff)

When Jeff said that Chert's mind was flooded with denial and despair.

The two of them was the only people he accepted his friends. Despite him being an anti-social, the two of them accepted him. Their friendship didn't contain any trickery or anything, it was filled trust. After all they were close since they were kids. When they grew up and decided to go to the wrong path they still were together.

"I'll give you a count down, if you haven't choose anyone yet. I'll have no choice but to kill you."(Jeff)

Chert couldn't think clearly. He was given a hard choice that will decide on the lives of his friends.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

"10.... 9...-"(Jeff)

He started to panic as the countdown slowly decreases. He started to think of possibilities that he can do.

"8.... 7 .... 6...-"(Jeff)

In his mind, various plans started to appear but all of them were just dead ends.

"5.... 4.... 3.... 2...-"(Jeff)

He couldn't think anymore in the end. Fear started to cover his thoughts and impulsively decided to choose.

"....1"(Jeff)

Blood started to flow on the ground. It came from the throat that was penetrated by a dagger. The one in the end to die was....

-Ricardo.

The life on Ricardo's eyes started to disappear. Finally, his breathing stopped and didn't move anymore. His body hit the floor as more blood flowed on the floor.

Tears started to fall on Chert's face. The usual expressionless face of his was now filled of tears as he look at his hands covered with the blood of his friends.

Cara couldn't even open her eyes due to the fear of seeing her friend dead.

Jeff's face stared blankly but his mouth was grinning. He looks like he enjoyed the expression of the two, as he replay the scene over and over on his head. He was even trembling in excitement as think of it.

"Congratulations Chert! You were able to successfully choose. Don't worry I understand how it feels. Being controlled by the fear of death and having no choice but to survive... Now take your reward..."(Jeff)

Jeff lain "something" in front Chert. It was the fingers of Ricardo that Jeff took.

"Huaaaaaah!"(Chert)

Chert got nervous as he saw the fingers. He screamed due to the surprise. He started to get nervous.

"Eat.."(Jeff)

Jeff picked a piece of finger and presented it to Chert

"Eat it. If you don't I'll skin that woman in front of you."(Jeff)

Chert slowly took the finger and held. But he didn't ate it, he just stared at it.

To convince Chert, Jeff pointed his dagger at Cara. He thrust his dagger in her only for a bit. Blood flowed on her neck, seeing that Chert decided to act.

He put the finger his mouth. Without even chewing it, he swallowed it. He felt like throwing up but he endured it. He couldn't afford to let his remaining friend die.

"Now, eat the rest. Don't forget to chew it~."(Jeff)

He took the remaining fingers and started eat them. He hesitated on chewing it but he forced himself on doing it.

He felt the taste blood each time flow in his mouth as chew it. He could feel the texture of the flesh in bones enter his throat. He endure the disgusting sensation and ate all of it.

Jeff was smiling as he watch the disgust on his face. His eyes was swaying around from the thrill.

After finishing them. Jeff went towards him.

"Oh did you ate them all? I don't know maybe you did not. Why don't we check?"(Jeff)

Jeff pushed Chert on the ground. He went on top of him so that he wouldn't be able to escape.

Chert straggled to escape but the difference of their strength made him unable to. Jeff got annoyed, and broke both of his arms.

"aaaaAAHH!"(Chert)

Chert screamed in pain. The position of the bones in his arms got separated.

Jeff struck his dagger in his chest and slid it down to his stomache. He saw all his internal organs, and made wicked smile. Jeff took some potions in his magic bag. Jeff forced Chert to drink all of it to prevent him from dying. Jeff also carved his organs bits by bits.

Chert could feel the burning sensation in his body. He's body ached with pain all over. He couldn't event scream from the pain.

The potions were not enough to kept him alive. In the end, he died. He lied on the ground, while his body was wide opened and his organs lying beside him in a grotusque way.

"Hahahahaha.... Oh crap I used all my potions! Oh well, you're next missy..."(Jeff)

Jeff glared at Cara. Cara flinched as Jeff approach her. He sat in front of her while staring at her eyes.

"ahhhh...ahhh.... I wanna.... I wanna stick it in....... my dagger that is. Tehee."(Jeff)

Jeff's joke was no way funny for the situation. Cara couldn't even look at him properly. Her eyes was swaying like crazy from the fear.

Jeff tore her clothing, leaving Cara naked. Jeff's intention wasn't anything perverted. He had a different idea in his mind.

Jeff then blocked her mouth with a piece of cloth to prevent her from speaking. Jeff didn't afford to be careless, he did it so that she can't cast any spells.

Jeff sliced Cara's body, but it wasn't shallow. It was only enough for the blood to flow from it. Jeff continued slicing her body. Cara's screaming was blocked by the cloth on her mouth, making it sound muffled but it was enough to make Jeff excited.

Cara's body was covered in cuts and blood. After finishing slicing her, Jeff dragged her and went to a different place. They arrived in front of one of the doors the dungeon that contained monsters.

"Remember this room?"(Jeff)

"....."(Cara)

That room was the one that they didn't entered. The reason was when scouted it contained many monsters. To be specific it contained many Large Bats.

Large Bats aren't really much of a threat. But if it's too many it can get very troublesome. Large Bats are know to have an average flying maneuver meaning they can dodge attacks if they want to if the opponent isn't skilled. They are also know to love the taste of human's blood.

Cara know what will her happen to her. But before she could escape, Jeff Sliced her achilles heel. She crawled on the ground trying to escape. Her feet was dragged by Jeff.

Jeff dragged her deeper in the room. The Large Bats seemed to not decided to attack. She left her there and went back at entrance. Jeff stood on the in front of the door and waited for show to happen.

"Ple-please! Don't leave me here! I'll do anything, please!"(Cara)

Cara was able to take out the cloth on her mouth. She shouted for help and begged for mercy but Jeff didn't do anything. He just stood, smiling and staring at her.

"Ah-ahhh! Please! Help m...-!"

The Large Bats started to attack her. They bit on her flesh bits by bits with their little teeth. She shouted for help, but nothing happened. Her body became a feast for the bats.

Jeff was finally satisfied and decided to return back to the first floor.

-

"Hahaha...hahahaha!"(Jeff)

My laughed echoed on the hallway as I walk back to the first floor.

My mind was filled with ecstasy, as I remember their faces.

Those who betrays me shall die.

But what's with that guy back there. The guy who looked like me. He tossed me around while making me turn to him. Didn't he said that he'll take my body? Oh well, thanks to him I could finally let myself be free.

Be free from that promi-...

Huh? Why am I thinking like this? No this is wrong... I can't beak my promise...

The sounds of foot steps slowly approached my location. I used >Presence Detection< and found 5 people.

Another party? Can I kill them. Well I'll think those absurd thoughts later. I'll have fun first.

I could feel the excitement in my body. I started to ready myself to attack them. But then...-

A blinding light suddenly started to engulf me. I looked at my foot and saw that it was disappearing.

"What the hell!?"(Jeff)

I was surprised by the sudden happening. The light covered my body.

Suddenly, I was in a white room that had a greek like stone pillars on the sides. There was also throne in it.

There was also someone sitting on the throne.

"*Yawn... Looks like the summoning was a success."(?)
