Chapter 5
“Noooo! Why, there was no need to kill her.”
“Shut up she’s still alive but if you keep complaining she won’t be.”
“What are you doing to her?”
“I’m looking through her memories.” Yup that’s one of my abilities reading memories. Of course I need to be touching the brain to do it and if I even slightly make a wrong move I risk killing her instantly but I think it’s worth it. How did I find ability like this training by myself? Well let’s just call it a fortunate accident.
“Why would you do that if you need information? You could have just asked us for what you needed. I mean do you really think we would have lied to you, you’ve already proven you could kill us.”
Why did I do this? That’s a good question. To her it probably looked like it was for revenge or maybe she just thinks I get a kick out of it. But both answers wouldn't exactly be wrong, but It was her eyes that made me do it. They had the same madness in them even when her face was distorted with terror and disgust her blue eyes never lost that look of madness. I was simply intrigued enough to want to find out why.
That’s when it happened, the rush of memories. First thing I saw was her childhood but I ignored that it wasn’t interesting enough to care. Then I saw her growing up ignored that. Finally I got to the good part. Then I was done.
Long story short her father went insane after her mother died so he decided to throw his daughter in the basement. After being tortured and beaten for a year she finally got a chance to turn the tables on him. How does she proceed from there? By beating and torturing him for a year of course. Shortly after he died from malnourishment the police busted in and she was taken to an asylum.
That didn’t go so well though and before long she burns down the whole got damn asylum after killing half the staff. Fortunately for her one week before she was to be sentenced to death she got transported here. Honestly I like her. With that thought retract my finger, I could take the information about the portal but I kind of want to get that from Sky over there and yeah I gave her a nickname.
“I’m done.
Claire starts gasping causing sky to rush over to her. After a few more gasp she manages to get out a few words.
“What was that.”
“Oh did you live through your memories too I gotta say that is one hell of a track record you got there.”
“You went through my past.’
“And you attempted to kill me I think where even. Now for that information.”
“You went through her memories and didn’t find what you were looking” for she says incredulously.
“I’d rather get that from you Sky.”
“Alright what do you want to know.”
“All kind of things really like what are crystals worth, where is the portal, how many worlds have been reached so far but right now what I want to know is will you survive the experiment I’m about to try out on you.” At my last words they both try to react but I simply raise my hand to make them stop.
“Here’s the deal if you survive the experiment you get to live. This buy the way is not up for discussion unless you want me to kill you now. Well you can think about it this way I’m giving you a chance at life which is more than I can say about you for pointing me into the alley.”
After glancing at Claire and having what looks like a discussion with their eyes she responds rather resolutely.
“I’ll do it.”
“Perfect.” I go into my pocket and pull out the white square made out of dead people. After breaking off a fifth I tell her to take off her shirt. After taking it off she leaves on a black bra. Motioning for her to take it off her face starts to harden but then she takes it off revealing a nice set of tits not to small not to big pink nipples but that’s not want I want from her. Taking the small square I put it on her chest and making her skin spread apart with my ability it sinks in.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
After a few moments she starts screaming but I rectify that by sealing the skin on her lips. Pushing my sense into her body I watch fascinated as the square starts breaking apart in her body hardening her cells.
Uh oh I think and start moving the square to her bones after a while of moving it from one to the other all her bones are hardened then I have to move it to her muscles. From one muscle to another I repeat the process just like with the bones. Now that her muscles are hardened she can’t move so now the fun part.
I force the blood to go through each of her muscles tearing them but allowing her to move. The process seems to be way too painful though and she starts convulsing and having spasms. I start regenerating the torn muscles but I don’t think I’m going to finish before she dies which I don’t have any problem with but I don’t want to fail the experiment.
Right when I think her hearts going to give out I finish but she just barely manages to hold on to her life. Unsealing her lips I can’t help but make a sarcastic comment.
“Well that wasn’t so bad was it.”
She really looks like she wants to kill me for a second but she faints before she can make the attempt.
“Is she okay?”
“She’s fine.” After saying that I start trying to sense the extent her body was changed but Claire takes that moment to speak up.
“How much of my memory did you see?”
“All of it.”
“And yet you’re not surprised or freaked out.”
“Hah I’ve killed hundreds more people than you and I’m not exaggerating when I say hundreds. Your little skirmishes don’t even compare to mine.” She looks a little interested by that.
“Who are you? No better yet what did you do to Skyler?”
“I uh modified her and she should wake up later. As for who I am, not important. What’s important is you answer the questions I had earlier. You do remember them right?”
“Ah yea crystals are the currency used. Each crystal has rings of color in it. Each color is worth a different amount. Pink-1, Blue-10, Green-100, Orange is 1,000 and so on. There are more but there only used by guilds and warlords.”
“Guild and warlords?”
“There groups of people who explore higher floors or regulate towns. There basically the government unless a town is ruled by a local warlord who normally rules by a group of strong fighters. Since this is the first town all guilds agreed this was to be a neutral town. As for the portal if you go keep going straight from out of town you’ll be able to get to the first portal. Lastly sixteen worlds have been traveled to so far. How do you not know these things it’s been a year since we got here?”
“That’s also not important, but what is that she wakes up so that we can go.”
“We! What do you mean we?”
“Well from your conversation earlier you’re leaving anyway I see no problem with you escorting me. Now I’ll be right back and don’t try to lave I don’t feel like tracking you down to kill you. Oh and Sky over there will a bit sturdier when she wakes up so be careful.”
“Where are you going?”
“To finish exploring, I was interrupted earlier remember.”
“But its night out.”
“Yea and that’s when the real fun comes out” and with that I walk out the door.
