Reincarnated as a Novel's Villain: Creator of Curses and Blessings-Chapter 46: Torturement

’’NOOOO!’’ Zoe screamed in desperation, trying to bite her tongue to kill herself. She would rather die than suffer at the hands of such a hideous monster.

[99/100%] -> [100/100%]

Her body slowly dissipated into the void, but at that very moment, the hideous monster had already opened its ragged, tooth-filled maw and threw her straight into its mouth.

’’AAAAAHHHHHHH!’’

Her entire body was brutally ground by hundreds of sharp teeth, as if she had fallen into a vicious, cruel meat grinder.

The pain—worse than anything she had ever endured—stabbed straight into her mind, tearing her soul apart.

Her sobbing and screaming echoed loudly before her body completely dissipated into the void.

Hector clicked his tongue.

’’Next time, in the real world, I hope you’ve learned something. If not, I’ll make sure it’s even worse than what you just went through.’’

Ting!

[A blessing has appeared. Do you want to receive it?]

Name: Clone Illusion

Rank: ★★★

[Description]: By using 1/100 of your total mana, you create an illusion clone. It can copy the user’s actions for the next ten seconds based on your initial thoughts, then vanish.

Hector grinned as he glanced at the system screen.

’’Very good... but I should’ve let her use it a few times before killing her.’’

He dismissed the system screen and disabled his summon, then looked at Roy with a weary expression.

’’Can you destroy the tower? I’m exhausted.’’

Roy narrowed his eyes, assessing Hector’s condition, then nodded in understanding.

’’Makes sense. Summoning a monster like that always comes with a price.’’

With that, he and his knights quickly sprinted toward the energy tower.

’’No problem. I’ll be the one to finish this match.’’

Before long, a sound rang out through the air as Roy destroyed the enemy’s energy tower.

Ting!

Ting!

[Congratulations! Your team is the winner.]

[Your team has passed the academy’s final exam!]

[You have two options]

1: Return to the academy and take a holiday before the next semester begins—like cowards.

2: Continue the academy’s final challenge and obtain rewards beyond your imagination.

[You have 1 minute to decide.]

[Countdown begins]

[1:00]

[0:59]

...

Hector smirked.

’’I don’t need one minute to choose.’’

However, before making the decision, he turned to Roy and asked,

’’Do you want to continue?’’

Roy shrugged, baring his gold-plated teeth.

’’Why not? Don’t you see it? If I go back to the academy, I’ll be a coward. Besides, there are tons of treasures. No way I’m missing that.’’

Hector let out a breath and nodded.

’’You’re right.’’

[You have chosen the second option.]

[Your body will be fully restored.]

[Do you still continue the challenge?...You can give up if you want?]

[You have 10 seconds to decide]

[Countdown]

[10]

[9]

..

Hector’s face twitched nonstop after reading the runes. He really felt that same feeling before... just like the Nameless God who sent him into the novel.

He wondered what the fuck kind of item could create a world like this. If there was something with such creative ability in the world, he supposed it would reach the color white tier.

"Add any fucking rules you want... even if I die... If I can’t make the top 10, I’ll die anyway."

[You will be sent to the game right now]

"Hope I’ll be sent as a soldier."

***

Before long, his body quickly dissipated into the void—and then it began. His head spun violently. Pain surged through his skull.

"Damn it."

He held his head, trying to endure the pain.

A few minutes later, the pain faded. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced around in confusion.

He saw a group of nobles with fat bellies ahead, chattering and laughing loudly. Then he looked to the left.

A noble with a sly face was saying something about him.

"1,000 gold coins! First call. Anyone higher? If not, 1,000 gold coins will be the final price."

"2,000 gold coins! I want him!"

"No, me! I like him—3,000 gold coins! He’ll be a good punching bag."

"15,000 gold coins!"

Silence fell.

"Are you insane? He’s just a mere slave. If I had 15,000 gold coins, I’d buy an elf instead of him."

Countless whispers spread through the crowd.

Meanwhile, Hector just sighed and pressed his forehead, weary and hopeless. He touched the slave collar around his neck and tried to break it, but it was useless.

The slave collar had locked his mana core.

"Oh shit... why the fuck would an artifact send me in as a slave?"

He sighed again, then glanced at the nobles who were staring at him pervertedly.

Hector felt creeped out for a moment.

A gay.

Damn!

He never expected to end up in a situation like this. What would happen to him if a gay bought him?

Very bad. He didn’t even want to imagine it.

After that fat noble decided to buy him for 15,000 gold coins, Hector waited inside the cage for his new master to arrive.

Through the bars of the cage, Hector’s eyes gleamed sharply as he stared at the key hanging from the noble’s neck.

"I must kill him and take the key."

However, his eyes narrowed as he shifted his attention to the fat noble’s underling.

An individual with 7 mana cores.

That fucking bastard would be trouble for him.

"Fucking shit... why does everything always want to drag me into the shit?"
