The old man is still watching them through that white screen. He gets interested in Alfi as he managed to defeat Leak, the Demon King.

'So, he really did it.' He said.

'Is it okay to just let them go like that, my Lord?'

'It is. If someone like a Demon King is defeated by a mere human, then he doesn't deserve to hold the title.'

'But, that's not what I meant, my Lord. Apologies for my impudence, but if we lose the Demon King of our territory, the other empire can take the advantage to invade us'

'No worries, Biyung. The Demon King isn't the highest position of the Supranatural Palace. That's right that the Demon King is one of the three elders of this palace. The three are included adviser, the Demon King, and the ruler. Instead, I have found the replacement of that Leak.'

'Who is it?! D... Don't tell me?!'

Suddenly, something like a black flame is coming from the sky passing through that giant window coming to him. He raises his right hand and the flame is floating over it. The flame lets out a voice that echoes like a heavy voice that speaks a strange language. It sounds like giving him an order. He then smirks by hearing it.

'It must be from Lord Lucifer, right?'

'Exactly, and it looks like he agrees with me.'

'I see, but why did you put him on the tenth floor? Won't it make sense if you put him on the seventeenth floor or in front of this chamber door?'

'I did intend to get rid of him, but I didn't want to get my hands dirty, therefore, I had the Alfa to take care of him. That guy did kill his own Empress, which means he is unreliable. If I didn't do that, he would kill me like he did to his Empress one day. And, didn't you hear it yourself, Biyung? The Alfa would gladly replace him as the new Demon King.'

'So you were up to appoint him as the new Demon King? Does it sound make sense for a mere human becoming a Demon King? Not just a mere human, we are talking about the Starless here.'

'At least, he is more reliable than that Leak. Not to mention, lord Lucifer approves this, so we can't deny it, right? Put that aside, Biyung. Take care of our army and strengthen our defense. Looks like she's coming.' He gets up from his throne and walks forward.

'Her?! Affirmative, my Lord!'

" Seven to go. If you deserve to hold the title of the Demon King, you will reach this place in no time, right? And I think the remaining seven guardians won't be a problem for you." He's getting agitated.

'Hey Kartika, can you just spare me and let me walk. My body hurts, you know? Do you know how many stairs have hit me? Pretty please.' Alfi whose body hits the stairs as Kartika drags him pleaded.

'Doki-doki users do feel pain, but they won't die that easily. They will just die by getting killed by the other Doki-doki users. Moreover, you have your bracelet and jacket on, right? So, you don't need to worry to die here.' Kartika explained briefly.

'But, it's painful.' He sighed.

'Aren't you a masochist?'

'You are the one who was up to rape me back then, yet why am I getting punished here?' He said sarcastically.

Kartika then increases her pace making Alfi hits the stairs harder.

'Ouch, ouch, ouch!' He screamed painfully as his body hits the stairs harder.

'What an idiot.' Herman and Varz sighed.

ßenlong who is carrying Aoi and Cocong on his back approaches Alfi.

'Alfi, try to please her.' Aoi suggested something to him.

'Please her? How?' Alfi said holding the pain.

'Just praise her. Every woman loves getting prised.' She replied.

'Praised her, eh? I'll give it a shot, then.' He said.

He clears his throat and calls her, 'Hey, Kartika.'

'What?' She replied without turning her head to him.

'I think you are getting stronger. You can drag me by holding my body while ascending the stair without sweating. It looks like you are gaining weight that you can drag me like this.' He is trying his best to praise her.

Kartika is shocked by hearing it. Not only her but the others though. It's because this moron has said something forbidden to bring while having a chat with a woman.

Kartika then increases her pace even more that he hits the stairs harder even more.

'Ouch, ouch, ouch! Why are you walking even faster?!'

'YOU DUMBASS!' They yelled at him.

'What is my fault anyway?' He sighed.

'For crying out loud. Don't ever talk about weight to a woman. It's a big no, you know?' Aoi nagged him.

'Then, what do I do?!' He is getting irritated.

'Praise something about her. Like her hair or her skin. Just make her special.' She explained. 'Woman loves getting praised, even something small about her.' She added.

'Like her small breasts?' He said.

Kartika then stops and helps him gets up. She gives him an empty gaze that freaks them out but Alfi. He isn't getting freaked out at all.

'Hey, Aoi. Looks like your advice is-' Kartika jabs his face really hard and strangles him immediately.

She lifts his body and slams him to the stairs really hard.

Holy Shit! It's a Chokeslam!

She then grabs his head and drags him.

'What is my fault?' He sighed.

'Why did you say such a thing anyway?! Talking about the size of breasts also a big no.' Aoi nagged him. 'Alright, try to praise something you like from her. What is it that makes you interested in her?' She asked in a soft voice so that Kartika won't hear it.

"Good one, Aoi," Kartika said in her mind.

Kartika is still able to hear it anyway. Women are sharp-eared, eh? Especially in this case.

His face is turning right. It's true that actually, he falls for her, yet he behaves as if he doesn't. His pessimism is the one that discourages him that he can't be honest to himself. He is afraid that she would leave him if she knows that he falls for her. He chooses to not tell her so he can get along with her well like this. It's just more than enough for him, he chooses to bury his feeling as deep as possible.

Yes, Megumi is only his only escapement. He does know that Megumi is his very delusion. He did have a woman whom he loved before Megumi, Bunga, and he vowed to himself to love her only, but Bunga is the one who broke his heart into pieces that he turned into a heartless man. And now, he falls for Kartika and he doesn't want her or making her breaks his heart just like what Bunga did to her before.

'Is... There any other way than that?' He asked with his red face.

'Do you want her to slam you like that?' Aoi asked.

'No.' Alfi replied briefly.

He is thinking about what part of Kartika that makes him interested in her. Her beauty? He is sure that every woman is beautiful. Then, why do ugly women exist? It's either man taste or it's just their misfortune. That's what he thinks. Suddenly he got an idea.

'Hey, Kartika.' He called her.

'What is it?' She replied.

'I just realize that you have a beautiful body. When I saw your naked body back then, I was amazed by seeing it.' He smiles at her.

Kartika turns her head to him. Her face is turning red as she listens to him.

"YOU DUMBASS!" They exclaimed in their inners.

'Your crystal clear white skin, your smooth and shiny black hair, your thin yet chewy ass, your small yet tempting boobs. All of them make me horny. As we didn't have a chance to do it, wanna do it right now?' He added without even noticing what just he said.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Alfi is actually trying to praise her, yet his compliment turns out into sex harassment somehow.

Kartika is getting embarrassed even more as he listens to him. She then runs ascending the stairs very fast making Alfi hitting the stairs faster and harder even more.

'Ouch, ouch, ouch! Help me!' He screamed in pain.

'YOU DUMBASS!' They yelled at him.

After a few minutes ascending the stairs, they have reached the eleventh floor. They find themselves in a room like a grand auditorium with a 20 x 20 feet wrestling ring in the middle. The skirt is black with white WTF on it. Three ring ropes made of steel block that are encased in blue rubber hose held up and tensioned by some padded turnbuckles hung on four steel pole ring posts on ever corner that integrated with the frame. The ring apron is bright white. There are two steel steps set on the corner near the opposite-each-other entrances.

'Is this the place?' Alfi is wondering. 'Ouch!' Kartika lets go of him making him hitting that black floor tile.

'We don't have time to play around. Where're the stairs?' Kartika said.

'Too bad, we have to defeat the guardian of this floor first.' Jeje said.

'Is there another way to get outta here?' She sighed.

'Unfortunately, no. There's no other way but defeating the guardian of this floor.' Jeje replied.

'Very well, we just need to beat the shit of the guardian itself, right?' Herman cracks his hands.

'Then, I won't hold back.' Varz smirks while holding the sheath of his sword.

Suddenly the spotlights set on the ceiling are turning on. They hear something like a rock music rhythm. They see two big figures coming out from the entrance on the other side.

'A solid and strong duo. The invincible ones. Wild and merciless! This is it Cap Badak!' They hear someone describing the duo.

Yet they can't see the person anywhere.

The duo enters the ring and starts putting a pose like professional wrestling athletes do. Alfi then recognizes the duo by just seeing their heads. Rhino heads and shrimp bodies, not to mention those long tails.

'Oh, the shrimp-brained-rhino.' Alfi and Kartika said without any impression shown on their faces.

'Who you called "shrimp-brained-rhino"?!' The duo exclaimed.

'There are two of them?' Cocong asked.

'The other one is just his clone.' Herman replied.

Yup, that's Kiki. The stupid bully who asked for money by force to his friend so he could buy his friend a PS 4.

'So, you are the guardians, eh?' Alfi draws Tipit and Pelidi from his bracelet.

Varz and Herman are ready to beat them up.

'How about a rematch?' Alfi threatened them.

'Hey, hey, hey. Kalem euy! (Sundanese: calm down)' Kiki who stands on the left said.

'I have calmed down already, but as I have to beat the shit of the guardian of the floor and since you are the one, then.' Alfi points Pelidi to them. 'We have to kill you!' Alfi gives them a smirk.

'Hold on, Alfi.' Jeje shoots blue beam to them.

The beam then vanishes once it was about to reach them.

'Looks like we can't get rid of them that easily. Say, does he have the ability to negate force just like Tipit or Kartika?' Jeje asked.

'Nope, he just uses brute force. There's no way that moron has an ability like negating.' Alfi answered.

'Hey!' Kiki exclaimed irritated.

'It's Mana. I can feel it.' Cocong said.

'Looks like we are not allowed to use weapons here.' Jeje said.

'Alfi, it seems like we have to follow the rules so we can defeat them.' Buriko points the duo. 'You must know what it is, right?' He added.

'Tsk, very well. Megumi.'

Megumi comes out from his bracelet. He puts off his jacket, white shirt, and jeans and throws them to Megumi. Now he just wears his boxer with "Property of Megumi" on it.

'I'll go!' He cracks his hand and smirks. 'Buriko, you don't mind, do you?' He added.

Buriko just nods. The others seem to hold their urge to laugh at his silly boxer.

'Please use the entrance. Just like your typical wrestling match, right?' Kiki said.

'For crying out loud. Why is it so hard for beating the shit out of ya?' Alfi sighed.

'Don't worry about the description, you just need to walk from the entrance to the ring and it will describe you perfectly.' Kiki explained.

'Right, right, we got it.' Alfi and Buriko walk to the entrance.

'And you, take a seat there. No one allowed to interfere during the match.' Kiki warned them.

'Tsk, what a brat.' Kartika sighed.

'There, there, no need to take care of him.' Megumi takes Kartika's hand to the audience area.

Megumi and the others are going to the audience area and take a seat there. Kiki and his clone get off the ring.

A heavy metal rhythm comes out. Buriko is seen walking from the entrance.

'The strongest one! The real Emping lover, even he had it every day while he had a uric acid that he died as he had too much emping.'

They are laughing at him.

"Asshole." Buriko is getting irritated.

He gets to the ring and raises his arms to the air, and fireworks come from the bottom to the sky.

'This is it, Buriko!'

Buriko gets off the ring. All of them are waiting for Alfi. They can hear a cheerful song.

'It's Niko Puri ♥ Joshi Michi song.' Jeje said.

'Even this moron can goof around in such a situation.' Varz is facepalming.

Kartika is seen holding her urge to go berserk.

'The real garbage ever exists! The most useless human alive! The world protector which is not a good role model for anyone! This is it, Alfi!'

Alfi enters the ring and poses by moving his hips forward to show his "Property of Megumi" boxer off.

'Disgusting!' They yelled at him.

'It's embarrassing.' Megumi closes her blushing face with both of her hands.

The match is about to begin. All participants have stood by their position. Alfi is going first while Buriko is standing by there holding the ring rope near the ring post.

It's getting intense as they are worrying about Alfi. They hesitate whether Alfi can defeat Kiki by wrestling without being able to use his holy weapons or not.

The bell rings and Kiki charges toward Alfi tackling him down. Kiki then is stepping on him rapidly.

'Alfi! Don't let him dominate you! Counter it or try to get off from it and tag me in!' Buriko exclaimed.

It's getting more intense. All of them are worrying about Alfi who is being beaten up black and blue by Kiki. Kiki is a human whose body structure is a fusion of rhino and shrimp. Which means, he is really strong.

'Can you feel this pain! This is for everything you've done to me back then! I'll torment you mercilessly that you finally vanish here!' Kiki helps him get up.

Kiki lifts Alfi's body with both of his arms over his head and presses overhead. He then slams Alfi to the side. Kiki then continues to step on him.

Alfi is used to be treated like this. He won't be killed by something like this anyway. It's not because Kartika always beats the shit out of him, but it's because he has been used to this since he was in elementary school. The little Alfi was always insulted, humiliated, harassed, and bullied by the kids his age. His parents were busy spoiling themselves by using the money he earned by playing Togel. He was used to be punched, jabbed, kicked, hit by something hard, etc.

'Alfi!!!' Kartika is unable to hold her sadness of seeing Alfi like that.

So are the others. They just can't hold themselves seeing their friends getting beaten black and blue like that. They do know that they are not allowed to interfere and that what makes them agitated. They shout his name hoping he will turn out the table.

"Why are they calling my name? Are they worrying about me? But, why? Aren't they entertained by seeing me like this??" Alfi is wondering to himself.

Suddenly, he feels something going through his body. It's not Iru, it's another power that he had ever felt before.

Hatred.

Anxiety.

Grudge.

Warth.

Despair.

Those feelings are overwhelming his body giving him a great power that he can send Kiki flying by a single uppercut.

Kiki falls and Alfi gets up. Kiki then charges to pin Alfi down, yet Alfi manages to evade it by sliding through the gap between Kiki's legs. Alfi then jabs Kiki's crotch. Kiki then falls down with his hands holding his crotch. He is rolling over as it's really painful, it is. Alfi then steps on him mercilessly. Not only stepping but also he even kicks Kiki's head, but he isn't disqualified as Kiki's head is rhino head.

Alfi helps him get up and kicks Kiki's crotch rapidly while jabbing Kiki's head. Alfi looks like a psycho now. He is really enjoying beating Kiki up that he is laughing maniacally just like a true psycho enjoying tormenting his prey.

His clone who is standing by on his post enters the ring to save Kiki. But Alfi launches a heavy jab to it that the clone vanishes.

Alfi then charges towards Kiki that Kiki crashes that steel pole. He is smacking Kiki mercilessly. He can't control himself as he is overwhelmed by the euphoria from the joy of beating Kiki black and blue already.

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' He is laughing maniacally enjoying beating Kiki up.

'A... Alfi... What is happening to him?' Kartika is wondering by Alfi's strange behavior. 'Is it Pukan?'

'No, it isn't. If it's Pukan, we will be able to feel its Iru, right? It's... his own power.' Varz said.

'Hey, has he by any chance been involved in bullying?' Jeje looks agitated.

'He has. He had been a victim since he was in elementary school. He was bullied by the kids his age. Jabbed, punched, kicked, hit by something hard, electrified, stabbed, whipped, etc. A mere human will be killed if they are on his shoes.' Megumi looks sad.

'Bu... But that's impossible. It's beyond bully! Why did they do that to Alfi? It's not bully, it's a killing attempt!' Herman is getting agitated.

'It's because he is the Starless.' Jeje explained. 'The Starless is the one hated by his own world and bestowed by the demons and devils. As a result, he always gets misfortune and misery that make his life is full of misery. The misery he has gone through must be more than just bully, right?' Jeje added.

Megumi who looks in blue just nods.

'Then, why didn't he fight back?' Varz asked.

'He is a nice guy. He said that he would be mean like them if he fought back. No wonder that he is suicidal.' Jeje said.

'Suicidal?' Kartika is wondering.

'A tendency to suicide. Like self-harming letting him getting beaten up like that. This happens because of a depression that he can't feel happiness anymore. He might look like a cheerful guy, but deep inside his heart, he has a sorrowful sadness buried there.' Jeje explained. 'And as you can see, he becomes like this as he is venting all of his anxiety and wrath he buried all this time. What will happen when a bully victim has a chance to bully the one who bullies him?'

'PAEH SIA, ANJING! GOBLOK!' Alfi hits Kiki's head that has turned back to his human form against the ring post that it's shattered.

He has crushed three ring posts. The wrestling match has turned into public persecution. All of them then rush from their seat to Alfi. Kartika and Megumi then hug him from the rear.

'Stop it!' Both of them exclaimed.

'Please, stop it.' Kartika said.

'Calm down, you don't need to do this anymore. Please forget it already.' Megumi said.

Alfi then stops and regains his consciousness. His head turns down, and he drips his tears. Kartika and Megumi then let go of him.

'I really did it, eh?' Alfi turns around facing them. 'Sorry. I-'

Suddenly, Kiki shouts and comes to Alfi. Kartika swiftly strangles him and slams him really hard that his body crushes the apron and crashing the floor. His body then vanishes before her.

'I did something wrong, right?' Alfi asked.

'Calm down, Alfi. There must be something that made you do that, right? Just consider yourself a cup and wrath like water. If you pour water to the cup and you let it be, it will overflow, right?' Jeje said.

'I hate a bully. I used to be bullied for no reason. They said that they hated me that they had a right to hurt me. If they do that just because of a mere hatred, then what am I live for? Why didn't I fight back? It's because I didn't know why I should. If everyone hates me, I just need to let them do as they like and waiting for myself getting rotten. Seeing such a brat reminds me of that, and it pisses me off. Who would expect that I would go berserk like that?' Alfi tells them his anxiety.

It's getting awkward.

'I used to have two friends back then, Bunga and Anto. They used to protect me and play with me. They were the ones that made me want to survive. But, one day, they dumped me out of the blue. Then I ran away without knowing where to go. And that was the time I decided to end my life, yet I changed my mind when I met you, Kartika. Thank you.' Alfi smiles at her.

'You don't need to worry anymore. You are safe here.' Kartika said.

'You have friends who care about you.' Jeje added.

'And a wife who loves you.' Megumi hugs him and kisses his cheek.

Kartika is pouting as she envies Megumi. Aoi just laughs at her.

Megumi then gives him all of his clothes. He then wears all of his clothes.

'You look good.' She smiles at him.

'Yeah.' He smiles at her.

She jumps back top his bracelet and the entrance before them opens showing the stairs to the next floor.

ßenlong swiftly dashes to them and they find themselves riding on his back.

'Let's go! To the next floor!' ßenlong runs ascending the stairs.
