Cheat Awakening

Chapter 447. Karma's Toll

"Well, your silence tells me you're also not very familiar with it either. Alas, this is going to be a pain in the ass. We'll both have to go through a lot of trial and error before we can pinpoint all its uses. I'm troubling you, Mr. Fatty.

I don't know about others, but I will always remember your contribution to increasing mankind's knowledge," Myne gently held the fatty's right big toe while manipulating the pincers in her other hand, and spoke with a smile.

The fatty, who himself had used this trick quite a lot to scare the shit out of prisoners before the real torture, obviously understood where this script was going. This made him even more fearful. His heart beat so loudly that Myne could clearly hear its pounding.

"Mr... My Lord, please forgive me for whatever I've done to make you so angry. Let's talk about it. There has to be a way to avoid bloodshed, right? We're all intelligent people, and in the end, the only thing that truly matters is benefit. There should be a price for my forgiveness.

Please give me a chance! I am willing to have become your slave!"

The fatty, who was sweating profusely, even knowing that he was poor as f*ck and had nothing to offer in exchange for his life, still wanted to try to fool Myne with his sweet words.

However, seeing Myne completely uninterested in his nonsense, all kinds of horrific memories of the people he tortured with great pleasure while enjoying their screams began flashing in his mind nonstop, after all, now it was his turn to experience what they had.

"At least tell me what I've done!" This time, the fatty's yell successfully captured Myne's attention, who had already grabbed his toenail with the pincers and was about to pull it out in one swift motion.

"Hmm, if I answer directly, it won't be much fun. Let's play a little game. One question in exchange for another, answered honestly, alright?" Seeing the fatty nod his head like a chicken, Myne continued... "Since I'm currently in the Boss here, let me ask you first, Mr. Fatty. Tell me something about your skills.

I'm always quite curious about others' skills, especially when some unknown people from different worlds highly favoured those people, who don't look like anything special."

Hearing Myne's question, the fatty was speechless, after all, abnormally like Myne who can steal others' skills is the only one in the world, so naturally he couldn't understand his taste of knowing about others' skills. But since it could buy him some time from the upcoming hellish torture, he was more than willing to talk with her. If possible, he hoped their conversation would never end at all.

"Actually, my skills are more of a joke to me than a blessing like everyone else. Out of three, I can only use one effectively. The rest are nothing but decorations... Sigh, my first skill helps me travel through unknown worlds, but in exchange, I have to kill people and absorb their flesh and souls. It's a double-edged sword.

If you're lucky, you'll end up in a peaceful world and can make a profit by selling that world's specialities in our world."

"Well, hahaha, actually, my situation was similar to yours. As soon as I arrived, the high gravitational force almost glued me to the ground. I couldn't even twitch, let alone stand on my legs. Thankfully, my luck was good. The place I teleported to was a special room in the magic tower of a Tier-Three wizard named Fizzlewiggle Wigglybottom. Those seven people you fought were also his students.

That room was built for high-level space teleportation, allowing him to travel between worlds. During the time I used my skill, I accidentally connected to the magic array of that room and teleported directly there. Then, Master Fizzlewiggle Wigglybottom helped me somehow handle the gravity. Otherwise, if I had teleported into a wild area, I might have become monster food or died from hunger."

After finishing his explanation, the fatty seemed to recall some unpleasant memories again and fell into a flashback with an ugly expression.

Myne, having finally learned everything he wanted, saw no need to hold back or waste time. He disregarded his promise entirely and, with no regard for anything else, used the pincers to forcefully pull out the fatty's toenail with great force.

"AHHHHH!"

Blood gushed from the area beneath the nail, and the fatty's pig-like screams echoed throughout the room. His voice was so loud and high-pitched that a normal person might have felt pain in their ears. However, to Myne, it sounded no different from beautiful music.

The fatty struggled violently on the chair, slamming his back against it with all his force, trying to distract himself from the pain, if the chair hadn't been Pasted on the ground by Myne, it might have already fallen on the ground. But when Myne grabbed his left index finger and pulled out another nail, that trick was no longer useful.

The fatty could only scream louder, hoping Myne would have pity on his poor ears and stop the madness.

However, Myne's mind was now completely consumed by memories of Rosewell being tortured under the fatty's command. He didn't care about anything else. One by one, he soon pulled out the remaining nails as well, with a psychopath-like smile on his face.

The fatty's screams didn't stop for a single second. At one point, he almost broke his wrist trying to pull his hand out of the handcuffs. Unfortunately, the fat around his wrists was too thick, and his willpower wasn't strong enough for him to succeed.

Afterwards, Myne pasted the Ultra Regeneration skill on the fatty again. Under the magical effect of this overpowered healing skill, his nails regrew, and all the pain the fatty was feeling instantly vanished, forcing him to close his mouth.

"Mr. Fatty, you couldn't even take such minor torture. I wonder where you got the courage to torture others? Haven't you heard of karma? I think the old people say whatever you do, one day you will have to pay for all your deeds." While speaking, Myne used the Realize skill to create/summon hundreds of thin, 25-centimetre-long needles and a silver hammer.

This wasn't No.2's enchanted hammer, but just a normal, expensive silver hammer.
