Chapter 41: Aya’s harsh reality / nightmare! – Chapter 41

I wanted to scream for help! I wanted to get out of here and help out my parents, but at that moment, my father looked at me with an angry but scared face at the same time. I completely froze as I didn't know what to do. All I could do right now was watch as those people were removing their clothes.

“N-no! I c-c-can find the money righ-- MHHHMN!!” But as my father was begging them to give a bit more time, they shut his mouth with a rope that was also tied around his legs and arms. Somehow, my father knew what was about to happen. That's why he continued to scream while trying to get rid of the rope around his body.

“HMMM!! HMMMMM!! HMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!” Even though my father’s body was completely tied, he tried crawling towards the lord with tears on his face. But the lord couldn’t care less about my father. With a smirk on his face, he kept looking at my father as if he was enjoying his reaction. 

“D- Darling…” While my mother was completely frozen on what was about to happen to her. She continued calling for father, but he couldn’t help her… One of those guys went towards my father and kicked him on his stomach really hard.

"You should be quiet while being in the presence of the lord." He told my father as he grabbed him by his hair then he pointed his head towards my mother who was being stripped naked. My mother struggled to escape from them, but she didn't have enough strength to push them away. 

"N-no! D-don't touch me, d-darling!!" My mother couldn't do anything against those guys.

"Hnmmmph!! Hmmm!!!" Neither could my father… 

Both of my parents were loving and welcoming to everyone, so I couldn't understand why this was happening to them... Watching them like this was really painful and scary at the same time. My heart was beating really fast, and I was scared if they could hear me.

"Hyoooo! Check out her gazongas!" 

"This is going to be fun!!!"

"Let's dig in" 

I couldn't understand what happened in those next moments. Just like my mother, those guys started taking off the lower parts of their bodies and started rubbing themselves onto my mother. 

"HMMMMMMMMM!!!! HMMMMMMMMMMP!!!" My father was trying to scream as loud as he could while being restrained by those ropes. Tears were bursting out of his eyes as he was smashing his head on the floor continuously. He was trying to crawl towards mother, but one of the guys was preventing him from doing so. My father's head started bleeding as he continued smashing his head on the floor. 

"Fuck! She's so tight!" One of those guys was thrusting his hips really fast while being between my mother's legs. My mother's face was flustered and scared at the same time. Tears were coming out of her eyes as she was trying to resist.

"Hmmmm!!" But her mouth was blocked by something that was between those guy's legs. 

"If you dare bite, I'll fucking kill you!" He threatened my mother as he continued thrusting his hips on my mother's mouth.

This continued for several hours and I continued hiding under the bed the whole time. Sweat was rolling down my face as my parents were suffering in front of me. 

"Waah! That was refreshing." Everyone started wearing their clothes back after they did weird stuff to my mother. I still couldn't understand what was happening to my mother, and the reason they were doing such things. 

"That was refreshing to you? Are you fucking kidding me? Your massive cock fucking choked her!!" One of those guys snapped back at the guy who had been thrusting his hips on my mother's mouth. 

"That wasn't my fault! Her bitch-like mouth was too good!! I couldn't just stop, ya know?!." They all looked as if they were best friends, but at the same time, they gave the impression as if they were demons under the human's skin. 

My mother wasn't moving and her body was covered with white stuff all over her skin. The same stuff was coming out of her pee hole as well. I was scared to know if my mother was okay or not and my father had stopped moving as well!

"Also, the weirdest one is Rauk. Just look at him enjoying fucking a corpse." He pointed his finger at the guy who had been preventing my father from moving the whole time. Rauk had stripped his lower half of the clothes and started thrusting his hips between my mother’s legs just like the other guys did.

W-wait… a corpse? Did my mother…

It was becoming really hard for me to breathe but I was scared that they might hear me, that's why I covered my mouth with my hands.

"This guy has some weird fetishes…" The other guys continued arguing as they were looking at Rauk. But Scarface didn't seem to be happy about the situation right now.

"Couldn't you have kept her alive? We could have sold her into a slave market!" He yelled to everyone while Raku continued thrusting his hips.

"It's n-not even my fault…" 

"Yeah, that's right!"

"I don't care whose fault it is! Both of them died because of your carelessness!" 

At that moment I wanted to cry out loud, but once again I shut my mouth as hard as I could. The room smelled really bad and I wanted to see my parents. I didn't want to believe that my parents were actually dead. No, I refused to believe that this was happening right now. My parents are dead… no, I don't want to believe that! They are lying, they have to be lying!

"My lord, are you sure you didn’t want to give it a try?" Scarface asked the lord after yelling at those guys.

"Hmm? Are you telling me to try this old hag?" The lord responded back with a pissed look on his face.

"N-no… I would never do that." Scarface lowered his face as he tried apologizing to the lord. But the lord was still a little pissed even after that.

"Is something wrong my lord? We can still get their belongings? If we search, we might be able to find something with value." Scarface suggested to the lord while the other guys were carrying my mother and father outside of the house.

Where are they taking my parents? 

"Are you dumb? Do you really think they have something that valuable? If they did, they would have been able to pay back some of their debt." The lord explained to Scarface.

"But it's not like my lord would’ve let them go either way." Both the lord and scarface smirked as they were looking at each other. But the lord's expression changed the moment he remembered something.

"Now that I remember… didn't they have a daughter?" My body started shivering and it was becoming really hard for me to breathe the moment the Lord said that.

“Ah, yes I think there was one little girl playing around the house before we got in here.” Scarface started scratching the back of his head as he was thinking about me. 

“Oho…” The lord started thinking about something as well, then a smile appeared on his face as if he had his hopes up.

“When you're done burying the bodies, find me that girl as soon as possible!” The lord ordered scarface as he was getting out of the house.

“Yes, my lord! Should we burn the house as well?” Scarface asked the lord before he could get out of the house. I wasn’t sure what to do. Was I supposed to run away or stay hidden under the bed? 

“Hmm... no leave the house as it is. The little girl might come back here.” My heart was racing really loud as I was listening to them talk about me. I was really scared and I no longer knew what I was supposed to do. I just closed my eyes and kept begging that this would be just a nightmare and I would be waking up. But no matter what happened, I wasn’t waking up, that’s why I continued keeping my eyes closed until I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I found myself under the bed. At first, I was confused about why I was here, but in the next second, I realized what was happening.I was hoping that all of this would be another dream, but in the next moment, I figured out that I no longer could hide inside my house. I started running as fast as I could without any destination. My parents didn't have any relatives, and there weren't any houses nearby so I didn't have anywhere to go. I continued walking for some days until I found a pathway which led to a city. 

“You over there, stop!” One of the guards ordered the moment he saw me coming towards the gate. He was cautious of me because it was dark and the only light sources were the lanterns hanging near the gate. 

“What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?” But as soon as he saw my face, he let out a deep breath and asked me. I wasn't sure how to respond to his question because of how tired I was. I wasn't thinking clearly and I was about to faint at any moment now.

“Poor girl, her carriage must have been robbed on the way here…” The other guard approached as well. 

“But, she must have incredible luck that she is still alive. This forest is filled with a lot of monsters…” But the moment the other guard mentioned monsters, I snapped back into senses. 

“E-eh?! M-monsters!?!” I was told by my parents that monsters were beings created by demons. They always told me that if I ever saw one, I had to run as fast as I could. 

“A-ah! Don't worry, there are no monsters here.”

“Yes, you're safe now.” The guards tried calming me down as I was trembling from what I might have gone through. 

The guards led me to an orphanage where other young girls and boys lived together. They all didn't have any parents or a house where they could stay. The woman that was in charge of that place was a nice lady who treated everyone like her own child. She took care of everyone in that orphanage with great care and love every day without any rest or compensation. Even though everyone was a bit younger than me, I was fine with living in this kind of place. But every now and then, I would have nightmares about that day where my parents were being attacked by those people. It still scares me the fact of remembering what happened at that time. And I still could hear my father’s voice telling me not to get out of bed. But the lady that was in charge of the orphanage came to me and sang different songs or happy stories that helped me fall asleep every night.

...

Two years passed, and everything was going really peacefully for everyone in this orphanage. Some of the children were getting adopted by different people that had the kindness of taking care of them. Of course, they were happy that they would get a new family as well. 

But one day, after I had finished all of my chores for the day, I heard the door knocking. The caretaker also mentioned that someone might get adopted today, so I figured that it would be the family that wanted to adopt a child.

“Thanks for coming to the orpha-...” But the moment I saw who was behind the door, my body started trembling. It was as if the nightmare that I kept having was coming back from the depths of darkness. In front of me was the same guy with a scar on his face… ‘ScarFace’.

He continued staring at me with a calm look on his face. I wasn't sure what to do and my body wasn't listening to me anymore.

“Aya-chan? Why are you just standing there? Let the guest come in.” The caretaker came towards us the moment she saw me and Scarface in front of the door.

“I’m sorry about her. She usually doesn't act like that. The guest’s room is right this way. Would you like some tea?” The caretaker smiled as she was trying to welcome this guy inside the orphanage. I wanted to tell the caretaker about this guy, but I was scared. Just the fact of him staring at me, was making me really scared.

“No, that's fine. Let's talk.” Scarface replied to the caretaker while she was leading him to the guest room. I wasn't sure if he had recognized me or not. That's why I tried peeking at what they were saying in the guest room. While trying not to make any noise, I gently put my ear against the door.

“...I’m glad that everyone is happy with their choices. Oh? You barely touched the tea, isn't it to your taste?” The first voice that I heard was from the caretaker.

“Ah, no. I have no preferences over tea, it's just I’ve been thinking about something.” 

“Is that so? If it's about the price of adaptation, then I don’t mind going a bit lower. The orphanage has many donations from different Nobles so money isn't a problem at all.” And like usual, the caretaker always seemed respectful and kind to everyone who came here for adaptations.

“I’m just happy that these kids can find a new home with a warm family.” (Caretaker) 

But still, I wasn’t sure if this guy was here to adopt or if he had anything else on his mind, that's why I continued listening to what they were saying.

“How have the kids been?” ( ScarFace )

“If you're asking if they are healthy, then yes, they are eating and sleeping really well every day. So you don’t need to worry about any kind of sickness. I take care of  them without exception.” 

“I see, are there any new kids in this orphanage?” (ScarFace)

“Yeah. once in two or three months I would find newborns in front of the door without any notice.” (Caretaker)

“Seems really tough.” (ScarFace)
“No no, I don’t mind it since I can’t have my own kind. I’m just glad to be everyone’s mother figure until they find a new family.” (Caretaker)

“Leaving that matter aside, who is the oldest child in here?” When Scarface asked that question, I started shaking once again.

“Oh, that would be Aya-chan.” I wanted to barge inside the room and stop the caretaker from saying anything about me, but my legs stopped moving.

“She first came to the orphanage two years ago in the middle of the night.” (CareTaker)

“...hmm....Two years ago?” There was a pause as Scarface asked that. I was scared that he remembered me from that time. That lord ordered these guys to do mean stuff to my parents and in the end, killed them in front of me... While I could do nothing else but hide under the bed.

“Yes, two years ago. Now that I remember it, her clothes were really dirty and when the guards brought her here, they said that she was wandering around the forest. I’m just glad that nothing bad happened to her...” (CareTaker)

“How old is she right now?” (ScarFace)

“She should be 14 years old right now and soon she will turn 15. I’m gonna be a little sad that she’ll leave the orphanage. She’ll be an adult soon, and I'm sure she doesn't want to stay here forever.” I didn’t know how to feel since they were talking about me right now. 

“Well, I’m gonna head back for today.” Scarface got up as he said that to the caretaker.

“Eh? Aren’t you going to see any of the kids? I can wake them up right now?” The caretaker was a little worried and surprised that he suddenly was going to leave.

“No, I will come back tomorrow morning and choose someone.” But the moment I heard his footsteps coming towards the door, I forced myself to get up and hid somewhere in the dark.

“Hm? Was someone here?” Scarface was looking around when he opened the door. He must have heard me running away.

“That must have been one of the kids trying to peek into our conversation. They do that most of the time, aren’t they cute?” But Scarface left without saying anything else to the caretaker.

I hid in the corner of the hallway in the dark so no one could see me. I kept thinking to myself what I was supposed to do. What if that guy decides to adopt me when he comes tomorrow?

In the next morning, I tried telling the caretaker about Scarface and how scary he can be.

“Now listen here Aya, you can't bully someone just because they have a wound in their face or body.” But in the end, she didn’t believe me about what I had seen. She must have thought that this was related to my nightmares I have, but that's completely wrong. What I saw that day... it’s still comes to my mind every day.

It didn’t take long before Scarface came once again to the orphanage. I didn’t want to face him so immediately hid somewhere where he wouldn’t see me.

“I’m glad you could make it today.” As usual, the caretaker greeted him once again with a smile on her face. 

“I’ll go and get all of the kids ready-” But before she could call everyone, Scarface stopped her.

“No need for that, I’ve already made up my mind for this month.” The caretaker’s eyes narrowed to slit as she looked back at Scarface.

“Is that so? Who would that be, I’ll get them ready in no time.” Even though I was trembling from him, I continued listening to their conversation.

“That would be Aya.” But as soon as I heard my name come out of Scarface, I gently took some steps backwards and tried leaving without anyone noticing me. In one of the rooms where I was peeking in, I got out of the window and started running as fast as I could. I knew that leaving the city alone would be dangerous, that's why I hid myself inside a casket I found at a merchant's carriage that was about to leave the city. It didn't matter where it was heading, for as long as it was away from the orphanage and those guys. 

After four days of travelling, the carriage finally stopped in another city. With no money or food with me, I sneaked some food from the bag, and walked away as if I never was inside that carriage. Luckily, the merchant and the adventurers that were with him didn't notice me.

With no money and barely no food, I kept wandering around the city in order to survive. 

Oh, today is also my birthday… From now on, I'm considered an adult…

Even after becoming 15 years old, I still wanted to stay at the orphanage and help the caretaker with the other kids. But I was too afraid to stay any longer in that place. Now, even the caretaker doesn't believe me. It felt as if I was alone in this world once again.

During the night, I had nowhere to sleep, that's why I stayed somewhere in the streets, hoping that this would be a long nightmare that was about to end anytime. I was scared and cold at the same time and I didn't know what to do. Even though there were some lights around the streets, it was too dark for me. Even though I was scared of the dark, I had no choice but to keep going and hope it would be okay. I found a dark empty hallway in the city where I spent the night. It was really dark, and the only thing I could do was pray for protection.

That's when a white glowing ball appeared in front of my hand. I wasn't sure what it was, but I kept it near me as It made light for me.

"Huh, what are you doing here?" One night while I was trying to sleep at the same dark spot, a nice lady asked me.

"..." But I wasn't certain if I could trust her or not.

"You can't stay in this dark place." She grabbed my hands and tried warming them up. Her face had a warm smile on her face as he was looking at me.

"I can't bring you to my home, but there is a place where you can spend a few nights. I'm sure it would be much better than staying here, right?" I felt like I could trust her, that's why I decided to follow her until we arrived near there.
We finally arrived at an old house where some homeless people usually stay.

 

"I don't know what your situation is, but I'm sure this place would be much better than sleeping outside." She smiled as she pointed her finger on that house. But then, she suddenly started going through her pockets and gave something to me.

"This is all I have for the moment, it isn't much but it should help you for a bit." That's when she left after giving me some money with a smile on her face. I am grateful that she showed me this place. If it weren't for her, I would have continued to sleep outside. But after she left, I noticed that that place was filled with a lot of old guys and scary faces. I couldn’t even bring myself to knock on this door… What if Scarface is also there…? Even though that would be impossible, my mind was restless and I couldn’t convince myself to go inside that house. 

That's why I decided to wander around until I finally saw an old looking house with broken windows and some weird walls.

While I was looking inside the house, the creepy atmosphere was sending chills down my spine. Everything was mostly broken and really scary, but I didn't want to spend the night outdoors anymore, that's why I continued looking for the bedroom. 

.

"I-its here!" I finally found the bedroom on the second floor of this house. Even though it was a bit burned, I didn't mind it. But as I was walking towards the bed, a dark mist started approaching towards me.

"HeEeE-EeL-l-ooO!!" I couldn't understand what it just said, but my body couldn't stop trembling from what I was seeing. 

I don't want to die! That's what I told myself as I was looking at that thing.

"Eh?! A-a a G-g-g-gHoost!! N-n-nOOO!!" 

"I-iii Wo-OooOn't HhH-hUr-t Yyou!"

My legs couldn't hold anymore, leading me to fall on the ground unconscious. It felt like I was in a long dream, and when I woke up. I felt a warm sensation against my lips. My chest was burning and I could feel my heart beating really fast. When I woke up, I found myself laying on top of a handsome boy with white hair and red eyes. Even though I just met him, I felt a connection with him that I have never felt before…

Hiroki's POV!

—————————————

.

My body was filled with rage by what Aya said to me. Until now I've been complaining how I became a ghost, while Aya has literally been through hell! Her father died in front of her while her mother was literally gang raped. I couldn't believe how low people in this world actually were. And now, this 'Lord' is looking for Aya!

Aya is with me right now and I won't allow her to cry anymore. 

"Aya." I gently grabbed her hands while looking at her face with a smile. Even though she was crying some seconds ago, she was looking at me with her loving eyes.

"Do you still have the golden apple?" I asked her.

"Y-yes, it's in the pocket of my cloak." She grabbed a golden apple from there and showed it to me. The cloak also had some kind of space storage where we could store a few things so we decided to take some golden apples.

"Okay, eat one right now because we're going hunting." I tried explaining to her what I wanted to do. 

The levels of our skills were too low, that's why I decided that exp grinding would be the best option for Aya to protect herself. That also would be a great opportunity to improve my status.
