Chapter 148: Impossibly In The Astral Shadow Plain
Satoru remained suspended in the air, levitating in the foreign vicinity with no visible means of support, his body still positioned at an angle that made it hard to tell if he was up right or upside down or diagonal. The sensation was deeply unusual despite how natural it felt to his body, as if his body had instantly adapted wherever this place was. Countless small multicolored orbs like distant stars were scattered all around him. The orbs gave Satoru conclusive evidence that this wasn't his world, wasn't anywhere on the planet he'd been born on. These weren't stars in the traditional sense—they were too close, too varied in color and too small compared to what scientists described stars to be up close. As if the orbs weren't strange enough, there was something else as well—things resembling projections, though that word didn't quite capture what they were. They weren't soli
Chapter 149: The Hell Hole Known As Astral Shadow Plain
'It is like nighttime in the real world,' Satoru thought inwardly. Except the surroundings looked far more visible and apparent than they should under actual moonlight. The shadows weren't as deep, making the details less obscured. The visibility Satoru was experiencing even made him wonder if he'd suddenly gained catlike vision or if this was simply the natural state of this world. But either way, regardless of how it works, he was glad that this world seemed to be operating in his favor. "The Astral Shadow Plane," Satoru muttered, his voice sounding strange now that there was actual air to carry it and cause small echoes. "So this is what it is like in real life." He was standing on his two feet for the first time since arriving, having transitioned from floating to standing without even noticing when it happened, in what appeared to be some kind of beach environment. On the opposite side of the oc
Chapter 147: A Different World, Or Top Tier Madness
The state of blank unconsciousness didn't last—couldn't last, though by all rights it should have extended for hours or even days given what Satoru body had gone through. Just seconds into the numbness, into that wherever it was that his consciousness had fled to escape reality, Satoru's eyes snapped wide open. There was no temporary state of disorientation like there should have been when someone wakes from deep slumber, no moment of confusion while the mind struggles to remember where he was or what happened before he had fall unconscious. In fact, what appeared to be far more strange than the manner of his awakening were his surroundings, which had transformed so completely and impossibly that for several long seconds, he had just kept staring like a dummy. He found himself in a dark space—not the darkness of the torture cell with its stone walls and iron chains, but true pitch darkness. His body position
Chapter 145: Tolerance Breaking point
*Whip!* The leather struck against Satoru's back with a wet impact that was somehow worse than the whistle the whip was making while cutting through air. flow. *Whip!* Again. The leather whip was swung. The impact, just like most of the others, had split Satoru skin and splash out tiny droplet of blood. *Whip!* *Whip!* Satoru had heavy iron shackles clamped around both his wrists, the metal bands so tight that they left red marks that would most likely eventually bruise purple and black. Thick chains extended from those shackles to iron rings that had been bolted directly into the stone walls on both side of him. The chains were stretched tightly, pulled until there was no slack whatsoever, forcing Satoru's arms into a wide spread that had even caused him pain before the lashing had begun. His feet barely touched the ground—they'd positioned him just high enough t
Chapter 146: That... That Wasn't Fair.
The figure was Nakamura himself, looking as enigmatic as always despite having just ordered brutal torture to little Satoru all in his name. Behind him, he pulled a chain that clinked softly with his movements, dragging across the stone floor while making sound like coins being counted. The chain extended back into the darkness of the hallway, attached to something that was still outside the cell, still in the shadows where Satoru couldn't quite see what it was."Satoru," Nakamura spoke gently, and his voice was soft, carrying the kind of warmth that fathers were supposed to use when addressing children rather than victims they'd just had tortured."I have a present for you," he continued, and the words should have been warm, should have carried positivity of gifts or parental affection. But coming from Nakamura's mouth, in this place, with that chain in his hand and that expression on his face, they sounded like a threat.Saying that w
Chapter 43: Opportunity Of The Beloved
In the Nakamura family mansion's dining hall, hundreds of children were scattered throughout the space like ants. The hall itself was not small or less awe-inspiring—its ceilings soared high enough to make you dizzy if you stared up too long, massive chandeliers shaped like crystals sending bright glittering lights across the room, walls lined with long framed windows and so on. Some children were moving toward their destinations through the crowd with ease. Others had clustered into small groups, chatting with each other loudly and laughing heartily. Some others also were serving themselves from the elaborate buffet tables that nearly lined one entire wall. The noise level was considerable, not enough to cause discomfort like the chaotic roar you'd expect from hundreds of young people gathered in one place. At a more reserved, elevated area of the dining hall at the very front of the room, Nakamura
