YOU HAVE RUN OUT OF LUCK...

Gagi wasn't worried, in fact, he felt extremely calm. As far as he had passed today's OOL game, he felt Chyna would pass it too, this was trust that stemmed from his being. What he didn't expect was that he would live to see the day she would spread out the paper and it would be... blank?

"Chyna!!! No! It can't be you!!!" Gagi screamed in fury and anger. He rushed forward and grabbed her, his gaze filled with resolve as he stared at everyone in front of him. He had decided in his heart that no harm was going to come to his love, not on his watch.

…

Seeing the blank lot paper, Raphael chuckled slightly before turning to everyone else who was looking with complex, varying expressions.

"It seems we have our winner, guys. Heh, a lady. How long has it been? And a beautiful one at that, I can't wait to have a taste of what she feels like." Raphael's gaze was filled with happiness, he would finally relieve some of the pent-up stress from always working for so long.

"No! You're not going to do anything to my wife, you monster! Die." Gagi immediately sent out a fierce punch that roared towards Raphael in an instant. 

Bray watched intently. He had already looked through everyone's abilities present, now he wanted to gauge the strength level and what it meant. He knew that there were 1000x increase, 2000x increase etcetera, but he didn't truly know how much of an increase that was.

Is it enough to break the space apart? Bray wondered as he stared, not missing any little detail.

Gagi's fist, clothed in a brown metallic color, moved toward Raphael. Bray was barely able to see his fist, and all he saw was a very fragile shadow, after all, this was a C-grade ability.

Raphael didn't react and just let the punch hit him, he sneered as though he disdained using his strength against a prisoner at a lower level than him.

Bang!

A loud explosion resounded. Bray didn't shift his gaze away, rather, he wanted to see what would be the result of the clash between the two despite their power difference—will he be able to lay a scratch on Raphael? Bray wanted to find out. 

And truly, he did, in the next moment.

The prisoner's eyes widened in shock as they saw that Raphael was uninjured. Raphael grinned wildly and sent out a palm before Gagi could react, shackling him. Gagi fell down as though his body had become a deflated ball.

"Congratulations, clap, clap." Raphael looked down at Gagi while praising him with a clap. "You have annoyed me, you are now priveleged to stay here and watch intently as we torture your so-called wife till she breaks apart."

"Nooooo!" Gagi screamed in anger, but his scream was cut short by a slap from Zach, which directly knocked off all the teeth in his mouth.

Bray looked at everything calmly. He knew that Gagi was being impulsive, which was a bad thing, but one couldn't really blame him, after all, this is someone he had been with for the past few years of his life.

There is truly no need to have friends in this place, Bray reminded himself, recalling Ray's statement, 'only one of you will survive in the end.'

…

Raphael then turned to look at Bray and the other prisoners and said, "You guys can stay here and watch us have fun for the next twenty hours, after that, you can leave and go do whatever it is that you folks do."

Bray was stunned for a moment before nodding like the others, he didn't want to see what the torture looked like because he already had an idea, but at this moment he had no choice, he could only look and not remove his gaze from there.

On the bright side of things, this will be a good motivation for me. Logan adjusted his mental state, now he was no longer feeling as irritated as he was before, although the feeling was still slightly there.

…

[SKIP] [SKIP] [SKIP]

TOO MUCH VIOLENCE HERE.

…

F**k! F**k! F**k! How could they be so heartless? Bray felt as though his head was about to spit from what just happened, she wasn't even able to live past eighteen hours before she died in the most brutal way he had ever seen.

Gagi was crawling up on the ground, no words were coming out of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with dismay. He only had one wish, which was to die, but unfortunately, his wish would be granted by these guards.

"Tsk, tsk, the toy this time around wasn't so strong, it seems, to think she would break just after eight hours, this is truly sad." Raphael looked as though he were lamenting, he turned around and waved at Bray and the other prisoners.

"You guys can leave, I am feeling quite sad, and I don't know what I might do if you all stay here any longer."

Still recovering from the shock, Bray and the others could only nod their heads like a bunch of unalive zombies, Bray followed the route of the others and went away under the gaze of the three guards.

But Bray was wondering something inwardly: why didn't Ray take action? He looked as though what was happening disgusted him, if I didn't see the ability he possessed, I would have been tricked by him and the facade of an upright man he put up.

Could he be trying to control his madness? Perhaps he is truly a good guy after all. 

Bray turned to his side, he had finally caught up with Gahorl Fershil. "Hey dude, I want to challenge you to a fight. Are you interested?"

Gahorl was just about to head to his cell to practice when a young man approached him and asked to fight. With a calm gaze, he accepted, as it turned out it was the new guy in the cell.

"You don't seem quite strong, are you sure you will be able to handle it if I use my strength on you?"

Looking at his stat, [cursed] Bray smiled, "Don't worry about me."
