The only thing I could do now was accept the situation...
Me and my big mouth.
... But where the hell did that crazy guy get the idea that I have to go out with his daughter?
Where did that come from? Dude, you're even more random than I am on this one...
... I took one last look at them before starting to walk back down the same hallway I'd come in on.
"Fuck it. I'm outta here."
I muttered under my breath as I walked past the group, flipping them all the middle finger. Especially Bianca...
I wasn't going to stay here any longer...
"... Who let you leave?"
... Leave me alone, man.
I sighed softly, slowly turning my face...
"... Well... My free will?"
He looked at me for a few seconds before agreeing with a half-smile...
"Free will? I see... So, take your free will and come here to ask my daughter for her contact info."
... Holy shit. Now you're really screwing me over, boss.
Not to mention it won't exactly be free will that way...
"... No way, boss. I'm broke—no cell phone, no money, no ID. I don't have a damn thing... Not to mention I'm terrible with numbers... Can't I do this later, then?"
Not just his expression, but everyone's—except Bianca, Theo, and Lydia—looked strange as they finally looked me up and down with curiosity...
... I didn't like that.
"What do you want me to do? Everything I had is gone to hell... Not even the underwear I'm wearing is mine, just so you know..."
What a pain. Leave me the fuck alone...
Just look at the crap I'm wearing...
Even my underwear has a knot in it because it's way too big...
Fuck it, this crazy guy looks like a bum too, but that's not a standard...
... Use some common sense.
I sighed, looking at everyone, while my mind was racing...
I just wanted to tell everyone to go fuck themselves.
I'm sick of this shit...
Everyone has their limits. Now I just wanted to leave...
"So that's it, see you around..."
"Is it over already?"
... This again?
"Ah, fuck it, if you're going to be in my ear all the time, at least buy me dinner..."
"... Sure"
"Ah, well. Okay, then... Oh, you know what? Go fuck yourself. Aren't you tired of this shit yet? Damn, you've been here since the beginning. You saw everything, so why are you giving me shit? I was minding my own business, then your daughter comes accusing me of something I don't even know where the hell she got that from, and I'm still the bad guy for defending myself?"
I'm going to lose my voice at this rate.
"Anything else?"
"Yeah. It's gross having you breathing down my neck, so back off. I don't dig that shit. I've said it before and I'll say it again—I'm into pussy... It's a pain in the ass; every now and then some crazy guy shows up wanting to fuck me... You want to know something else? I wasn't going to say this shit, but I'm going to say it now."
"What?"
I sighed in relief when he took a step back, laughing...
... I coughed a little, clearing my throat, before continuing in a smoker's voice...
"Your wife... She's really hot. Fuck it, I didn't lie, and I wasn't being disrespectful; I just told the truth. Yeah, it ended up sounding vulgar, but I didn't lie, not to mention that, as you yourself put it, I prefer your mother-in-law's young slut...
I just expressed myself poorly while defending myself. It's not like I'm going to see a ring that size on your wife's finger. I may be a lot of things, but disrespectful to a married woman right off the bat?
... Ah, fuck it, if you're going to beat me up or kill me, just do it already. I'm sick of this shit. I was just defending myself, and now I'm the one to blame because you've got the biggest dick around here? Where's the justice? Oh, right, justice is being forced into a date out of nowhere, not to mention you won't even let me leave—screw it. It's that simple. Go on. Come on, just kill me already."
I was already panting and exhausted by the time I finished speaking...
... Eminem would be proud of how fast I spoke.
I wiped my mouth, staring at my spit on the floor...
Fuck everyone's reaction. My head hurts from all this shit...
"... I knew it. You and I really are alike."
While I waited for his reaction, he said something that left me totally confused...
I blinked a few times, looking at him...
Was he really laughing?
... That reaction...
Oh, come on...
I felt a chill run through my mind at that. My head went cold instantly...
... What the hell did I do?
"You know, I liked your attitude. I would've done the same in your place, but... You crossed the line. Got it?"
... I watched him slowly place his hand on my collar...
I tried to say something, but...
I couldn't. It just wouldn't come out...
Even when I grabbed my head, trying to scream, nothing came out...
... I felt my brain shaking violently against my skull.
My mind didn't register any of what happened, but my body did. I fell to my knees. Vomiting the little I had in my stomach…
Taking a deep breath, I looked around with difficulty…
It was simply incomprehensible…
… One moment I was with everyone in the hallway, and the next, now I'm…
Where am I?
... How?
I was in another room...
A large red room with several entrances, but no exits...
... A wall covered in weapons...
And on the other side...
A pile of mutilated bodies. Fresh blood slowly dripping...
I almost threw up again from the smell.
It was a heavy smell. Thick...
... That's when I understood.
The red of the room wasn't natural...
"Three days. Survive three days, kid."
... I heard that crazy guy's voice coming from all directions at once, shaking my brain again...
What the fuck?
... Survive?
What the hell is this guy talking about?
I was still dizzy, but I shouted anyway.
"Wait! Survive? I can't use mana, for fuck's sake"
But.
"Figure it out"
My head shook again with his voice, and suddenly, a loud noise...
One of the doors swung open...
And out came...
Five little green monsters...
... Goblins.
No...
More importantly...
"Seriously..."
... I stared at them with morbid curiosity.
They all had hard-ons...
What the hell is this?
