Cheat Awakening

After using Ethereal Phase and becoming a half-ghost, the first thing Myne did was slam his head into the wall to test its effect. The effect was quite good; Myne's head easily passed through the solid wall and he appeared in the bathroom attached to it. Myne's subconscious must have kicked in, causing him to close his eyes just before impact.

When he opened them, he was met with a sight that could only be described as… heaven.

A beautiful girl, around Myne's age, was diligently cleaning her private parts while cursing some under her breath. Because Myne come from her backside, he could see her huge, bubbly butt, smooth and crystal clear white back, and long pink hair, but nothing else about her. Just when he was wondering if he just get in her front side to see her beauty, he heard her voice filled with anger and panic.

"I hope I won't get pregnant with that ugly fatty's child. Damn it, he released so much cum inside me. How could I forget to take the birth control pills secretly, this kind of mistake just first day of my job, this kind of thing has never happened, I was always very careful about this matter, then what happened today?

If Mom finds out I've been selling my body for money, she'll go crazy and kick me out of the house," The unknown girl's voice filled with panic entered Myne's ears, leaving him dumbfounded. He understood who the girl was and why she was so desperately fingering inside her vagina.

She should be one of that fatty's girlfriends. Hmm, but it seems like those girls are quite reluctant to bear that fatty's child even after taking a big amount of money. But don't they know that no matter how much that fatty f*cks them, he could never be able to make them pregnant? Hmm, by looking at her face, it seems like this information isn't known by many people...

Anyway, what does this have to do with me? Her life, her choices, Myne casually shrugged his shoulders and, with a movement akin to a fish gliding through the water, he turned and phased back out of the wall.

Okay, now it's time to find my Rosy. Hopefully, she isn't in any big trouble, Myne thought as he flew towards the basement. He poked his head through the entrance, only to realize he couldn't see anything, because, in this half-ghost form, he couldn't use his other skills.

Embarrassingly, Myne could only turn to the two hypnotized guards.

"Hey, you two! Quickly, bring me a torch or something, like the one your master uses down there. After that, you'll guard this place like nothing happened. Don't mention seeing me or anyone else. As for your wake-up command, play rock-paper-scissors. No matter who wins, both of you slap each other hard and start barking and fighting with each other like children."

After Myne finished speaking, Guard A, who seemed accustomed to such tasks, hurriedly took out a magic lamp from his storage bag and handed it to Myne. He then positioned himself before Guard B. Both guards raised their fists robotically, went through the motions of rock-paper-scissors, and then revealed their choices.

SLAP! SLAP!

"AHHHM!"

The winner was Guard A, whose scissors cut through Guard B's paper. But right the next moment, both of them very accurately slapped each other's cheeks hard, making both of them moan in pain, and obviously then both woke up from their hypnosis at the same time.

Guard A: "Bastard, why'd you slap me?"

Guard B: "Because you slap me first!"

Guard A: "But I did because I won the game! It's the f*cking damn rule: winner slaps the loser!"

Guard B: "Oh, right. Guess I forgot. Sorry, bro. I train my body so well that it reacts automatically to attacks, and instantly gives the opponent a taste of its own medicine. Totally out of my control. You can try again if you don't believe me."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Guard A: "F*ck you and your body! Do you think I'm an idiot? Remember last week when the boss slapped you? Your body didn't 'react automatically' then, did it? Liar, cheater, son of a pig! I won't play with you again.

Go… F*ck yourself. Don't let me see your pig-like face again."

Guard B: "If that's the case, then why are you still here? Get out of here! I have no desire to see the ugly mug of a goblin who can't even get a girlfriend and has to spend a lot of money just to f*ck a slut. Ugh, God knows just how many and what kind of people have touched and f*cked that body. Urgh, just thinking about it makes me shudder."

Stay connected with empire

The last comment on his dignity and manhood pushed Guard A over the edge. Incensed, he lunged at Guard B like a beast, and a brawl erupted in the otherwise silent corridor.

...

Myne didn't know that his casual, playful command ruined the friendship between two good friends and literally made both of them thirst for each other's blood. After taking the magic lamp from Guard A, he recklessly plunged into the basement's dark corridor without any hesitation.

But just after flying a few meters, Myne realized this basement was far more complex than anticipated. Upon entering, all the sounds from outside magically cut off, and when he turned around to look at the entrance, although it was still there, he couldn't see the other side of it as if it were covered with a thin, invisible barrier.

"Now this is getting creepy. Rosy, you damn woman, just how many things did you forget to tell me about this fatty husband of yours?" While mumbling, Myne didn't stop and continued flying at a slow pace while observing his surroundings. The walls, floor and ceiling of the corridor were made of some kind of dark, unidentified stone blocks.

Various incantations were written repeatedly all over it, enough for a normal person to understand where the script of the rest of the story was going, let alone Myne who had spent months under the special care of a demon and had become familiar with this kind of horror setting.

"Hum? Is that a trap switch? Let's see what would happen if I trigger it." Myne suddenly noticed a small block of the road raised a few centimetres from the others, which was very difficult to notice unless one was super careful or taking the initiative to look for traps, just like Myne for fun sake.

Because he didn't dare to deactivate his Ethereal Phase skill, Myne could only say sorry to his little magic lamp and place it on the top of the trap. However, Myne's luck was still quite good, and the trap was just a Pitfall trap with a dozen or so sharp spears placed right on the ground so wherever the person fell in it, they would directly book a one-way trip to hell.

"Tsk, boring. What an old-fashioned trap, nothing creative at all," Ash muttered, shaking his head in disappointment. He continued to fly forward and soon came in front of an empty cell. It seemed like the person inside had just been taken away because there was still the unbearable odour of urine and shit, as well as a half-filled water cup.

"Huh? I wonder which poor guy was unfortunate enough to be here. He definitely didn't end well." Myne didn't care about the unknown stranger; after a casual observation of the cell with briefly pinching his nose to avoid the stench. He quickly moved on to the opposite cell, which was dusty and cobwebbed, unused for quite some time.

There weren't many cells, only four. Two were recently used to lock up someone, while the other two didn't have any signs of activity, meaning no one had been placed there. But even after passing the cells, Myne couldn't see the end of the corridor. He again entered the long, narrow passage without any change, which lasted for the next five minutes until he encountered another room.

Locks held no meaning for Myne. He phased directly through and entered the room, which seemed to be a storage room where every kind of torture tool that Myne had heard or read about in books was available, and many of them about which Myne didn't even know.

A large barrel filled with an unknown oily liquid stood in the centre, containing dozens of blood-soaked tools, staining the liquid a gruesome crimson.

"Now I can guess how those two unlucky guys or girls would have ended up." Looking at the bloodstained tools in the barrel, Myne had a weird expression on his face, as he didn't know what to say about this situation.

He had originally just dealt with a random fatty who beat down his own wife and got into his wife's panties, but when the situation became so complicated Myne himself wondered if everything was a conspiracy against him, otherwise everything was just too coincidental.

If he were in normal condition, Myne wouldn't mind taking all those clean and unique torture tools, but in the half-ghost condition where he couldn't use any other skills, Myne could only look at those tools unwillingly before leaving the storage room and getting back on his track. Finally, there weren't any other surprises, and Myne soon saw the exit of this dark, never-ending-looking corridor.
