A/N: This chapter might leave a bitter taste in some readers’ mouths and I apologize for that in advance.
You can skip it if you want, I’ll leave the summary in the comments.
…
The next morning, Nux woke up with Thyra sleeping on his chest. Since she was an assassin, she was very light and with the way she was sleeping, Nux felt like she was a cat.
He moved his hand towards her silky hair and he started caressing them gently.
“mmm” A small smile appeared on Thyra’s face as she moved her body cutely and made herself even more comfortable.
Nux chuckled inwardly, he never thought that this cold-looking assassin would have such a cute side to her.
It was very surprising.
Of course, he welcomed such a surprise with open arms. Nux then continued caressing her hair and called,
‘Status’
A screen that had his information appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name: Nux Leander]
[Age: 18]
[Mana Cultivation: Master.]
[Body Cultivation: Master.]
[Talent: Medium]
[LVL: 33 –> 35 ]
[HP: 890/890]
[MP: 840/840]
[STR: 87–>91]
[AGL: 97–>101]
[VIT: 85–>89]
[STM: 124–>128]
[INT: 82–>84]
[DEF: 84–>88]
[Blank Points: 109–>115]
‘115 Blank Points huh…’
Nux thought inwardly. He then looked down and after the status screen, another screen that had another message was present.
[Memory Fragment Detected, would you like to retrieve it?]
[Cost: 10 Black Points.]
[Y/N]
‘Should I do it?’
Nux questioned inwardly and soon, he stopped thinking and sighed.
He firmly believed that this memory would be useless because if his predecessor knew something that could benefit the current him, he has to be someone important, which he was clearly not.
The guy was barely eating, after all.
However, although he believed that his predecessor was useless, there was one thing that still bothered Nux.
His predecessor rejected a Viscount.
Not every commoner has the guts to do it.
Therefore, it was worth a shot.
‘Whatever, it’s only a matter of time before I gain a few more levels, it’s only 4 level-ups worth of blank points, even if the memory is useless, it’s okay.’
Nux had decided.
‘Alright, let’s do it.’
Nux then nodded to himself and clicked yes.
Suddenly, the scenery around him changed and he appeared in the night sky.
“Uwaaahhhh! Uwaaaahhh!”
Nux then looked around and heard a voice, he looked in the direction and saw 2 humans carrying a child who was crying, the humans then entered what looked like an orphanage and gave the baby to the caretaker there.
“We found this child in front of our house, we don’t know who he is or who left him there, however, we certainly cannot keep him with us,”
The caretaker nodded and took the child.
An interesting thing to note was that Nux did not see the world from his predecessor’s eyes, he saw everything from a third-person perspective.
It was as if he was watching a movie.
The child then grew up in the orphanage and lived an ordinary life just like other children.
He cried, he ate, he slept, he did everything a normal child does.
However, he was a little different from others.
Black hairs, beautiful golden eyes, chubby face, the child was extraordinarily beautiful.
Therefore, he was favoured and spoiled by many.
Even the other children in the orphanage liked him and he lived a happy life.
Till now, previous Nux lived a completely normal life.
However, today, something changed.
Today was the day previous Nux snuck out of the orphanage with other children.
Unfortunately, he caught an eye of a crazy woman.
Cadela.
Since Nux was 8 years old now, his feature got sharper and he became less ‘cuter’ and more ‘handsome’
And this ‘handsome’ Nux caught the Cadela’s eyes.
This was the start of Nux’s hellish days.
The next day, Nux was adopted by that crazy woman and left the orphanage.
For the first few days, the crazy woman treated him well, and he was happy.
But then,
For some reason, the crazy lady couldn’t control herself anymore.
She then walked into Nux’s room, locked the door and,
Raped him.
Yes, she raped an 8-year-old child.
Of course, as an 8-year-old child, Nux didn’t know what was happening to him, he experienced his first premature orgasm. Like any normal person, he liked that weird tingly feeling as well.
However, this is where something happened.
“I am not here to pleasure you, You are the one who is supposed to pleasure me, you bastard!”
The crazy woman continued to do what she was doing even when he had just orgasmed, in a single night, Nux was forced to come countless times.
The first few felt good, however, soon, Nux started losing all his strength.
The experience after that was anything but pleasurable.
Nux tried to stop her, but he was powerless.
He was assaulted the entire night.
The next night was the same, then the next night, the night after that, Cadela continued to assault Nux without any reservations.
Soon, she gained more and more confidence and things escalated.
She tied him up and forced him to stay inside the room.
She would force Nux to do ‘things’ on his own accord, if he refuses, she would let him starve for days.
Sometimes, she would even take out her anger on Nux by beating him up.
She would constantly make him beg for food and then give him something stale.
When she was bored, she would even bring her friends so that Nux could ‘entertain’ them and she would earn some ‘money’.
According to her, she fed Nux, and she ‘invested’ in Nux. Therefore, he shall work to repay her now.
That small room became Nux’s prison, where he was abused every single day.
This torture continued for 4 years.
In these 4 years,
The playful, cheerful and naïve Nux died.
He was replaced by a gloomy, downcast and scared Nux.
A Nux who was hopeless, helpless and had already given up on himself and his life.
However, maybe the gods pitied his poor soul, one day, while the Cadela was walking down the street; she accidentally stepped in front of a nobleman’s carriage.
The arrogant nobleman did not like the fact that a filthy commoner dared to step in front of her and the Cadela was beheaded.
A fitting end?
Maybe.
Maybe Not.
Nux however, didn’t care.
From that day forth, he was free from all the torture.
He then started living on his own, working and barely managing to buy one meal a day.
Though his life was still full of hardship, it was a lot better compared to before.
Nux then continued living, however, these past 4 years left a major impact on Nux’s life.
Gynophobia.
Yes, due to these agonizing 4 years,
Nux Leander feared women.
