Torture

Izumi was abducted by demons disguised as humans. He didn’t know that the vice principal was a demon.

An hour has passed, he woke up in a facility in the demon’s kingdom. He saw himself sitting on a chair while his hands were tied in the chair with chains. The facility room is stinky and dirty. There are no humans there except for bones and cadavers.

He is thinking to escape the place but he is impotent. He thought that the police could rescue him but he has no idea that he is in another dimension (another world).

A few moments later, Kroah and his subordinates paid a visit to Izumi.

They visit Izumi to give him food and drinks. But that’s their real purpose. They want to ask him some stupid questions that a normal kid can not answer. It is a question about what humans want. Well, to be precise, Izumi is a top 1 student in their school. Some teachers said that Izumi is not like a 14 years old boy. It’s as if he was an apostle reincarnated as a boy.

“Ohh…! You’re finally awake, Izumi. Here’s your food.” –Proceeds to give him the plate on Izumi’s lap.– “We decided to give you some food and water. Eat. It will help you to feel better.”

“A rare scenario of a demon feeding his food. How am I suppose to eat this when my hands are tied in the chair? Why don’t ya’ feed me since I’m your guest?” He’s inviting death but he’s not afraid of him.

“Hoh… are you… are you talking to me impolitely? You haven’t forgotten that I’m your vice-principal, ain’t ya?” He asked calmly.

He punches him in the stomach as strong as a rock. Izumi vomits blood because of the strong impact.

“There… you feelin’ alive now?” He grabs Izumi’s hair.

Izumi glares at him that made Dan pissed.

“Tch…! This is a pain in the ass. Untie him. I will torture him now.” He ordered his fellow demons.

After untying Izumi, Kroah suddenly kicked him.

“I still have some time to enjoy your flesh.” –He grabs Izumi’s collar.– “Prepare for trouble, Izumi.” He said as he kicks Izumi’s eggs.

“Urk! It hurts but I need to endure this pain! This is just the beginning!” –He said as he grits his teeth.– “W-Who are you and w-why are you doing this to me?!” He asks as he coughs.

“Ohh… Us? Nothing special. We are demons. We lurk in the dark. Waiting for the right time to rise.” He replied as he continuously kicks him.

Kazuki vomits blood again because of the strong kicks.

“Ehe, ehem!”

“What’s this? Don’t tell me, you’re giving up? Was my kick too strong for you? C’mon, we still have some time to enjoy your flesh.” He said while glaring at Izumi with a dead look.

"Do you think *ehem* this is enough to kill me?" He replied as he glares back at Kroah.

Kroah got annoyed.

“I don’t like that face of yours since the beginning. Especially your eyes, you damn punk!” Ramming his feet non-stop, he will not stop till Izumi faints.

The Demon King enters the facility along with his subordinates. His name is Kevin Josh.

“Looks like we have a nice show here.” He said with a smile.

Kroah and the others kneel to the demon lord as soon as they saw him and ask for forgiveness for what they’ve done.

“My lord, I sincerely apologize for what I have done. I will accept any punishment for my crime.” Kroah said nervously.

“There’s no need for that, my children. Anyway, good job! Look at him… he was beaten to a pulp.” Kevin replied with a soft voice while laughing and pointing his hands to Izumi.

“It’s my pleasure, my lord,” Kroah said as standing.

Kevin approaches Izumi to talk to him.

“Look at you, Izumi. You were half killed by a demon.” He said as he grabs Izumi’s hair.

“Help… me. Please…” He was laying with almost no voice and looking at the ceiling of the facility room.

“Hmm?... What’s that? Did you say something?” He kicked Izumi as strong as he could. Izumi flew away.

“You know what? I don’t like humans ordering us demons. So, I guess you should shut your mouth.” –He brings Izumi to the chair.– “Tie him up again. We’ll start the fun now.”

Izumi is tired and in pain, is as if he wants to die. But he can not give up yet because he doesn’t have the will to die yet.

“Who… are you… people?”

“Ohh… you talked. Hmmm… Let me give you a hint to your question.” –He went to Izumi’s left side.– “I’m your old classmate.” He whispered.

“That’s not… the answer to my question… bastard!”

“Did you remember our elementary days? The one who bullied you, Izumi.”

Izumi thought about it for 10 seconds.

Until he remembers it. The reason why his classmates don’t like to talk and come near to him. The reason why his life lives like hell. Yes… he remembers it. It’s Kevin Josh.

“Bastard! Tell me the reason why you became a demon!!!” He said with an angry voice. He wants to punch him but he’s bound in the chair.

Kevin stepped back.

“Hoh Hoh. You scared me there, my friend. Looks like you remembered me. Had you remembered those days? Those vivid days?”

“I thought you died! Why are you alive?! Where are the people that you had killed?! Bring them back, you murderer!” He was angry that the veins in his body had appeared. He wants to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for killing this man. But he is standing in front of the demon king.

“You can’t bring a dead person back to life. If you want… why not join them? Hahaha!” –He massages his shoulder.– “There’s a reason why I disguised myself as a kid, Izumi. The younger the better. Especially human flesh, Izumi. Hahaha!” He said while laughing. He snapped his finger so that they could start the experiment.

“Bastard! I’ll bring you with me to hell!” He glared at Kevin while smiling as he spat the blood out of his mouth.

“That is… if you survive my game, Izumi. The game is called "Torture with a smile". If you survive you can escape, but, If you scream and say "Stop it, please!" you lose... we will make you a demon. Do you agree with me, my friend?” He bowed to him to show his respect.

“Bastard! Bring it on!” He replied as he smiles from excitement.

He didn't know that this is miserable torture. They will rip off his nails, burn his skin, break his bones, put a centipede in his ears, and the final torture is, the demons will eat half of his body.

Of course, for Izumi to survive, they will give him a potion. This potion is capable of keeping him alive. Even if he wants to die, the potion will keep him alive. But the potion can not heal his pain so he will suffer every time.

He endures the pain for 6 days.

On the last day, the demons decided to put a centipede on his ears and eat the lower part of his body.

Izumi was scared and nervous. He keeps untying his hands in the chair and tries to escape. This is the pain he could not forget. The 6 days of hell.

“S-Stop it! Please! I’m begging you… s-spare me! I-I apologize! K-Kevin!!”

He screamed so loud that the demon’s ears rang.

A few minutes later…

The demons are done eating him and he lost consciousness because of the pain. The floor was full of blood.

Kevin decided to put an end to this torture so that they could start the experiment.

Kevin called Ichinoze. Ichinoze is a scientist. She’s in charge of experiments.

“Call me if you’re done experimenting here, Ichinoze.” He said as he leaves the room along with his subordinates.

“Yes, sir!” She bowed to the king to show her respect.

"Wake up, Boy." She said while putting on gloves.

Izumi was awake but he could not move due to pain.

“Look at yourself, boy. You are bathing in blood. How would you explain this to your parents? You lost too much blood and here you are, hoping for a good ending in your life.” She said as she comes closer to him.

“I… didn’t wish… for a tragedy… life. Why… am I... still alive?...” He said with a low voice.

“It’s because you don’t have a will to die. Life is never fair. I’m sure you’re well aware of that.” She replied as she cleans Izumi’s arm so that she could inject him with a painkiller.

“Why… won’t you guys… just let me die… in peace?!..." He asked as he loses his consciousness.

“Stop pitying yourself. Pity yourself, and life becomes an endless nightmare. Death is endlessly consumed by man in cities and literature. It is a singular event in one’s life that none may reverse. Any last word, boy?” She is ready to inject the painkiller into Izumi.

“Kill me... please! This is… my only request… Please… I want to end my suffering..." He asked this favor while crying.

“I see. You choose to be hurt, so as not to hurt others. This is not kindness, but rather, it is cowardice. Well then, I shall grant your wish...” She said while injecting the painkiller to Izumi.

“Thank… you.” He said this while crying and fainting. He lost his consciousness while smiling.

Ichinoze injected the painkiller into Izumi. She did not follow Izumi's wishes.

After that, she immediately injected him with the no.” 5th demon drug” (one of the most powerful Bisectinator* among the demons). She did this because she teamed up with the Pyramid Feathers (A group of humans with abilities). She didn't tell this to anyone because once you cooperate with humans, it's considered a traitor.

*Bisectinator: a demon predator organ and functions as their weapon and claws. It can be a sword or a shield.*
