Strong.. Strong..

Due to the dizzying pain in my right eye, my brain began to tingle as if it would break.

＇W-This place…?＇

I feel dizzy at the unfamiliar sight, so dark that I can’t see anything.

Ssss..

I could only feel the soft sensation of the soft bed gently rubbing against my skin through my fingertips. There was no noise or even the slightest sign of presence here.

‘memory..’

I close my eyes again and think about why I am in this place.

Obviously… I have no memory of meeting the woman with red eyes.

Yes..

I had fainted while trying to run away from her.

Just as I was about to get out of this place that felt like a bed and look around… I heard a creepy yet unfamiliar voice right next to me, which made me look urgently in that direction.

“I’m Martina..”

I wasn’t aware of her presence.

“Name, what is it..?”

Obviously, I had my {Sixth Sense} abilities {Hearing} and {Visual} set to +30%, so if someone was nearby, I wasn’t the type of person who wouldn’t be able to recognize that small sign of presence. However, for some reason, the woman who introduced herself as Martina was unable to perceive even that subtle presence at all.

It’s as if you can completely erase your own existence.

‘I couldn’t detect it at all…’

‘Since when on earth have you been looking at me?’

I get goosebumps.

First, before answering Martina’s question.

I thought I should keep my distance from her, so I stayed silent and tried to carefully retreat from the bed I was lying on in the distant darkness, but…

Well done… Well done…

Both ankles and wrists were loosely fastened to each end of the bed with something, so they were tightly bound so that they could not easily escape or move.

＇Cow, chain..?＇

In a dark room without any light, the hard and cold feeling of those creepy chains was clearly conveyed.

And when I recognized that, I instinctively retreated to a corner and began to calmly ask questions.

“What is this?”

I wondered if I had done something wrong to be like this, but since there was no such thing at all, doubts were piling up. It was just frustrating.

＇First of all, I need information..＇

Rather, the thought that I had been kidnapped unilaterally was overwhelming, but I decided to focus on gathering information to avoid this situation.

‘It’s so dark I can’t see anything..’

＇First, I need to adjust the level of {Sixth Sense} ability.’

So, I lower the other sense values of {Sixth Sense} to the minimum and at the same time set the average value of {Visual} as high as 20% to +50%.

Strong.. Strong..

My eyebrows were already itching due to a severe headache, but when I tried to raise my vision, my eyes felt as if they were going to fall out.

＇I need to check it quickly and lower it..＇

I was able to vaguely perceive the surrounding space through the distant darkness.

A single bed placed neatly in the center of a huge room.

The part visible from the window was wrapped with a thick cloth and sealed to prevent any light from entering.

Moreover, the window was also quite narrow and strongly secured with something like a wooden plank, so it didn’t seem easy to escape. Then the only exit I can get out of is the only door that comes in here…

‘That’s the exit.’

In that brief moment, I immediately remembered all the terrain around me in my head, and as I suddenly felt the symptoms of {magic depletion}, I urgently held my head and calmly checked to see if there was anything wrong with my body.

‘Not enough magic power?’

From what I’ve tested so far, the abilities in the [Ability Window] are not affected by magic when used.

＇Why does the {magic depletion} symptom occur?＇

Just when I was so curious…

＇Wow, my magic power is draining away.?

The structure of the magic power generated by the magic stone that I feel and use is as different from that of an ordinary woman as its form.

The magic power stored in the magic stone near the heart can naturally be transferred to the “non-property [slime] magic stone implanted in the left hand, and it can be constantly circulated and recharged at the same time, providing efficiency that can contain not only a significant amount of magic power, but also a vast amount of magic power. boasted.

Of course, it took considerable effort and practical experience to use and execute this method on my own, but as a result, I was able to feel and control the flow of magical power myself, as it is a principle that achieves maximum efficiency with minimal magical energy. .

Therefore, I was able to immediately identify this symptom occurring in my body.

‘These shackles… are absorbing it.’

It was that magical power was being drained by these shackles that were bound to both wrists and feet.

“name..”

“curious..”

Martina’s voice came from the darkness where I couldn’t even see her face, even though she was right next to me.

I clutch my itching right eye again and decide to answer her question slowly.

＂It is called Dahein..＂

just as expected. The moment I told Martina my name, a subtle, foreign emotion came right through my right eye. This emotion was neither joy nor curiosity. Dependence caused by strong obsession.

And just as I was about to feel that way… Martina came closer and gently stroked my head.

It’s disgusting.

Uncomfortable.

In just one moment, these negative emotions came flooding back.

Ssss..

＂All right..＂

It was that moment.

I instinctively pulled my whole body back as I sensed Martina’s ominous magic that felt creeping through my entire body through my skin.

I could barely stop my stomach from rising.

This behavior felt similar to when I encountered a cockroach crawling on my ankle.

＇I just can’t bear it.＇

I stepped back in one go, mobilized all of my remaining magical power, armed my left hand with titanium slime, and was able to break through all the shackles that were tightly binding me and escape.

Oh my gosh!! Ting!!

‘I have to run away…’

I was definitely in a state where I could get out as soon as I woke up.

Nevertheless, the reason I stayed here and observed the situation was to find out the purpose and information of the assailant who kidnapped me. But that was my mistake.

The moment I felt her disgusting magic on my skin, my instincts were telling me. The fact that we have to get out of here.

Even though I could definitely fight back, I was obsessed with the idea of just running away, so I ran at full speed toward the only door.

Thump, thump, thud..!!

Since I was able to run, I could feel that there were no traumatic problems.

‘Just open it!!’

The moment I reached the front of the platform at once…

Phew!!!!

The maddening pain of having all the nerves in my body cut off spread throughout my body, and at the same time, I began to collapse.

Cheolpudeok!!

＂Kaaah!!!＂

This terrible pain felt like my joints were being stabbed like crazy with a sharp knife.

A pain that I couldn’t bear with my sanity suddenly overtook my body, as if my skin was being cut sharply and my nerves were being cut.

Snap.. Snap.. Snap..

After failing to escape, Martina slowly began to approach me. It was crazy.

The sound of bare feet coming closer.

Martina’s persistent gaze is felt profoundly in a quiet room.

A feeling of heavy magical power slowly felt throughout the body…

He picked me up as I fell down like that and brought me back to the bed, which had only one piece of furniture, and slowly laid me down. It’s like treating someone you love with care.

Grumbling..

Then, the chains made up of Martina’s magic began to bind my entire body even stronger and thicker.

＂Tell me about you..＂

“I want to know..”

just as expected. The scene that caught my eye, accustomed to darkness, could not be anything other than terrifying.

Martina, who had strongly restrained me, stared at me as if nothing had happened, pulling out the daggers that had been stabbed deeply in various parts of her body one by one.

Oh my gosh!!

And the sharp feeling of the dagger she was pulling out was also clearly conveyed through her right eye, starting from her ankles, knees, joints, and even all the way to her lumbar spine.

＇No, that’s ridiculous..＇

That’s right… that sensation she felt was also shared with each other through this burning right eye.

{{The Forgotten Soul seeks to stop {The Bonds of Greed}.}}

＂It’s annoying..＂

As soon as Martina finished speaking, the chains tightened even more.

{{The piece of greed unleashed {greed} and created [Shackles of Forgotten Greed].}}

{{ Magic power has been permanently absorbed by [Shackles of Forgotten Greed].}}

{horse power -1}

Not only the remaining magical power, but also the gradually gathering magical power was absorbed by the chains that bound my entire body. I knew I could no longer escape.

Excited.. Excited..

In the process, I had no choice but to hold on to my heart, which was beating irregularly, and complain of pain.

“It hurts..”

An endless stream of heterogeneous emotions.

I felt like I was going out of my mind, feeling as if two bodies were being tortured at the same time.

‘Could it be because of this side effect?’

Nevertheless, I endured this terrible pain and calmly tried to find the cause, but when Martina saw me like that, she came closer and immediately started to put her face on me.

“Si.. I don’t like it.. go away.”

＂All right..＂

Tuk!

“Please don’t reject me..”

“Aren’t you happy like me?”

As my forehead touched Martina’s, her icy warmth quickly spread through my forehead.

A coldness so strong that it can never be called human.

It felt as cold as the cold I felt in the extremely cold forest.

just as expected. I couldn’t help but violently resist her close approach. But even more so, the body was fixed by the tight black chains.

And then… Martina slowly pushed her hand inside the loose clothes.

Ssss..

“Ha, don’t do that!”

＂Resolve this!＂

Even as I felt Martina’s hand, which had a warmth that seemed not to be human, I felt goosebumps all over my body from this unknown discomfort and anxiety.

Click, click, click..

I wondered why I was doing this, and twisted my whole body in resistance… but I was only further bound by the chains formed by Martina’s magic.

Martina’s hand, which had been slowly touching Daheun’s exposed white chest as if it were sweeping, stopped at his irregularly pulsating heart.

“found..”

He then showed off his red vest and began to stare even more.
