by fnovelpiaToto Gen was a man who had lived as a prisoner for a very long time. He stalked a woman he liked, and just before he was exposed and about to die, he was hit by her husband and fled.
The enraged man put sleeping powder in the couple’s house on a night when the full moon was out, causing them to fall asleep, and then he murdered the couple.
After that, he began committing serial murders targeting newlywed couples or women of his preference.
He was eventually caught and taken to a place known as the worst prison, but the prison collapsed due to an invasion by the demon king, and he tasted freedom.
However, the sweet freedom did not last long. He was captured by slave traders and became a slave.
One day, a child approached him.
“Sir, please eat this.”
The child smiled gently and shared half of his food with him. Unable to bear the kindness of the pure child in this dirty and sordid world, Toto Gen’s desire for murder became intense.
Toto Gen killed the child, reveling in the sight of the child’s eyes clouded with confusion, fear, and despair.
“Ah, I want to kill more pure and beautiful children.”
Toto Gen, who had been walking the path of corruption from the beginning, was completely engulfed in darkness at that moment. He killed the slave trader and began posing as a trader himself.
In the land ruled by the demon king, where insane trash-like people thrived, Toto Gen prospered and was able to make an enormous amount of money.
“How should I torment them this time?”
Toto Gen couldn’t hide his anticipation, repeatedly clenching and unclenching his wrinkled hands. The dizzying excitement did not leave his mind.
“Since there are two of them, it would be nice to ruin them one by one. The other one will tremble in fear.”
Thinking of the two slaves who seemed like siblings, Toto Gen let out a chilling, sardonic laugh.
“Or… make them fight stronger demons. Ah! Yes, making them commit murder would be fun too!”
Toto Gen untied his clasped hands and repeatedly touched the tips of his fingers slowly before detaching them. How much time had passed like that?
Knock, knock.
With a cautious knocking sound, the door opened, and the two slaves he had been anticipating entered the room.
The first thing his gaze landed on was the expressionless girl with long white hair. She had been beautiful from afar, but up close, she was stunning to the point where her eyes seemed to widen.
However, there was one flaw. Her pupils were empty, like those of a dead person.
He liked innocent and lovely children who either rolled in agony and died or completely corrupted into filthy beings, not ones who simply breathed like dolls.
“Oh…”
Unlike the girl, the boy holding her hand had truly clear pupils. Eyes so clear, as if he had never experienced a dreadful thing in his life!
Not knowing that these were the eyes of a clear-sighted person, Toto Gen became immersed in delight.
“Ah! You want to see those pupils die!”
Recalling the numerous children he had killed, he trembled with excitement.
“Choose this child.”
“Yes? Yes! Oh, I understand!”
Ottugi nodded, tucking the pamphlet filled with fabricated descriptions into his pocket and nodded. The chosen Lian blinked and looked at the man in the robe.
“What? Am I being sold?”
Lian broke out in a cold sweat and rolled his eyes.
“I barely met Iris, and I’m falling apart like this? Ugh! He said he would take care of everything for me!”
While Lian was internally screaming, Toto Gen pointed at Lian and spoke.
“Bring him here. I want to see him up close.”
“Yes, sir!”
Ottugi quickly approached Lian. It was a movement akin to a noblewoman running silently.
“If you behave rudely in front of him, your head will roll. This is not a warning.”
Ottugi whispered as he pushed Lian’s back. Lian reflexively dropped his head and then raised it again, recalling the trouble he had faced by raising it the wrong way.
“If it falls, I should be careful when putting it back.”
It was quite difficult to find the head while the field of vision was on the ground.
“I want you all to leave for a moment so I can talk.”
“Yes?”
Crackle.
When Totojen took out a heavy purse from his bosom and threw it, Odugyi bowed 120 degrees, exchanged greetings, quickly grabbed the purse, and left the room.
Sijong and the secretary also quickly left the room.
Iris didn’t want to leave Lian behind, but Lian insisted that he would return to body language quickly, so she reluctantly left.
Only Lian and Totojen remained in the room. Totojen pulled Lian in front of him and chuckled, flipping his robe back.
“Huh, what kind of reaction will you show?”
Burn marks, scars from a knife, and empty eye sockets were visible. In addition, there was repulsive skin as if it had been transplanted from someone else.
Fist-sized nodules grew on his face, chin, and neck, and a grim smile lingered around his mouth.
Upon seeing his appearance, the children showed two reactions: most either cowered in fear or felt pity.
Totojen looked at Lian with an expectant face. Lian also looked at Totojen.
Silence…
“Well, come on! Shake in fear already!”
Silence…
“Heh heh, has fear frozen your body? You’ll probably wet yourself and cower soon.”
Silence…
“…Why no reaction? Fainted?”
There was neither fear nor pity on Lian’s face, just indifference.
It was the kind of glance one gives to a passerby on the street. Cold sweat began to trickle down Totojen’s face.
“This… can’t be. Surely, if I make a more grotesque expression…!”
Totojen showed his fangs and forced a smirk. It was a chilling smile. Totojen thought this time Lian would burst into tears or collapse to the ground.
Grin.
“…?!”
However, what came back was a wide, open smile.
“What’s this? A kind person?”
In Lian’s world, not only ghosts but also zombies frequently appear. Well, there is a Halloween season once a year.
They mainly live near cemeteries, work part-time during the Halloween season, or dream of world domination.
One of the things the zombie horde did that Lian liked the most was their plan to eliminate all the couples. Lian looked at TotoGen, thinking of the zombie friend she had dated back then.
“This seems quite decent.”
Did his organs stick out? No.
Is his brain visible because his head is smashed? No.
Is he walking around with a tongue over 1m long? No.
Yes, from Lian’s perspective, TotoGen appeared to be a fairly decent-looking zombie. That’s why she smiled first at TotoGen, who smiled back at her.
Seeing Lian’s appearance, TotoGen trembled.
TotoGen likes the despair of children because he is a toy that reacts as he presses it.
Children who have not grown up in the arms of adults could not endure the cruel torment of TotoGen. No, they couldn’t until now.
“Am I not afraid? Are you saying… I’m… scared?!”
Like a clumsy criminal who always seeks to kill the weak rather than the strong, he concluded that Lian’s laughter was her ignoring him.
“You…!”
He snarled and took out a surgical knife from inside his robe.
“How dare you look at me like that!”
He stabbed Lian’s stomach deeply with the sword. Then he slashed downward. The red blood painted his face.
He shouldn’t have done that.
“What, who’s this again?”
Startled by Lian’s frightened face, TotoGen suddenly froze at the unfamiliar voice.
“Is this your living room? You open it whenever you want and act like a lunatic?”
“Whoa, calm down, mister. What does that kid know? Maybe his intelligence is lacking since he can’t even use a knife properly.”
“What are you doing? Not even greeting?”
“Haha! Do you have a virus? Are you a virus too?”
TotoGen looked at Lian’s belly with a vacant expression.
“W-what is this…?”
Totojen, who said he would make Lian scared to death, was now trembling with pale lips.
He took pride in his monstrous face. Everyone stiffened and became frightened when they saw his face.
The organs with eyes and mouths, as if saying that his monstrous appearance was nothing, were shouting at him.
“Oh, no…”
When you’re too surprised, people can’t speak properly. Totojen was just like that.
“Is this a dream? Yeah, it’s a dream. It must be the aftereffect of the medicine I took recently!”
Totojen turned his gaze towards Lian, running the hope circuit.
“Surely this guy is already dead -”
“We apologize. Our kids get rough when they get close to people with weak nerves. Oh, but don’t go opening other people’s stomachs so casually.”
Lian apologized for her organs’ tone and taught basic common sense to the zombie who didn’t know human manners.
“It might get cold inside the stomach, so the organs could catch a cold – … Huh?”
*Squelch…*
He couldn’t overcome the shock and fainted.
“Well, the kids were a bit harsh with their words.”
As Lian muttered, the organs spat out curses. Ignoring the organs’ words, Lian pulled out the knife stuck in her belly and closed the open flesh.
As she swiftly stroked it, the pain in her belly quickly subsided.
