“is that the guy?”

“yes, my majesty”

“thank you for bringing him to me.”

“we are your loyal guard dogs we will do your dirty work my majesty.”

Atli opened his eyes and couldn’t see much but he was sure he was in some sort of dungeon. Atli closed and opened his eyes and looked at the room again he noticed some chains in the corner of the room when he looked to the other corner, he saw a big iron maiden then he noticed that in the middle of the room was a wooden table. Atli looked closely at the table and saw that a small dagger was on the table and some other things when he looked closer, he saw a whip, a mace, and multiple little rusty needles.

“the fuck is this place.”

Atli started trying to get out of the chair he was tied up to

“hey, let me out this must be a misunderstanding.”

But nobody answered his cries for help.

After about another one hour of screaming and struggling Atli passed out of exhaustion.

Atli suddenly felt something burning on his left side when he looked what it was, he saw a big red hot branding iron was near his skin and then out of nowhere it touched his skin. The pain was unbearable it was so painful he screamed out in pain and terror and started struggling but it didn’t help, and he passed out again but not from exhaustion this time but from the pain.

He woke up again and felt the pain again, but it wasn’t as bad as before it was bearable this time when he looked at himself, he saw that he was only wearing his boxers and nothing else. After some time, the pain almost went away and Atli decided to look at the mark he was given. Atli looked at it and saw a something that looked like a spider and bellow that two letters N R he didn’t know what the letters meant but he wanted to know who did this to him. Suddenly he heard a loud creaking noise and when he looked where it was coming from, he saw a big wooden and metal door opening and finally saw some light after a long time. Three people walked in the first person looked like a man but he couldn’t tell because he was wearing a hood over his head which cover his eyes then the second person was a female she had a wooden staff and at the end of it hand a weird pink orb and she was a wearing white robe with purple details and her face was also covered by a hood and the last person who walked in was a short chubby person who had what looked like a crown and some fancy clothing and he was the only one in the room whose face wasn’t covered so Atli looked at his face and saw that he was balding and also had a brown mustache he was also the only one who had a smile on his face. The three people walked to him the king was in the middle and behind him was the girl and the guy behind him on each side, respectively. The king bended over Atli and slapped him a couple times lightly. Atli slowly raised his head and looked at the king. The king had a big grin on his face and just said “so you are finally awake you fuckface” Atli just looked at him menacingly spat in his face and didn’t say anything. Then the guy behind the king just grabbed the whip on the table and prepared to hit Atli. But then the king stopped him and said “it’s okay this worthless piece of shit doesn’t know who I am so just let me introduce myself to this sack of shit” the king straighten himself and in a proud voice started speaking “I’m the emperor of the Gesal Empire Nye Reese and just keep this between us but I’m also the demon lord Gesume” Atli remembered this name that’s the demon lord I was supposed to defeat and he thought to himself wow so I was supposed to kill this old fart well that’s lame I got captured by him. Then Gesal started again “oh I know I don’t look like a demon lord right now this is just my human disguise” then out of nowhere a black and red smoke filled the room but it disappeared almost immediately. Atli looked at the Gesal again but he didn’t see a short old fat guy it looked like he transformed he now was about two meters tall was masculine and had purple skin. When he looked at him again, he saw that he only was wearing some torn pants no shirt no shoes then Atlis eyes shifted to his face the demon king Gesume had long black hair red eyes and out of his head were growing grey horns which were faced upward the only way to describe him was Menacing. Atli got really scared but then he looked at his subordinates first he looked at the women shed also transformed she was about one point nine meters tall was also masculine and had purple skin she also was only wearing black shorts and a back bra nothing else. Atli looked at her face and he saw that she was very beautiful she had white hair that reached to her shoulders. She also had orange eyes. Then she started speaking in a sweet tone “hey I think we met already Atli was it right? Sorry for not introducing myself I’m calamity one of the generals of the demon king and also his lover” Atli looked confused and looked at her face again and then he saw it she had a freckle under her left eye and Atli just said “yea we have met you were the waitress at the inn I was staying in” Atli tried to sound cool but he was scared. Then he got the courage to look at the guy and he also transformed he was the shortest one of them he was about one point eight meters tall. He was also masculine as the others and had similar clothing to Gesume his eyes were yellow and had short black hair and a black goatee he kinda looked like Gesume. Then he started speaking in a deep voice “I’m Gelmute, Gesumes younger brother and also one of the demon kings’ generals” then he chuckled. Atli almost pissed his pant after seeing all of them but he wasn’t a little baby and just tried to ask in a cool voice “so anyways why did you kidnaped me? Are you interested in me?” Gesume and the others started laughing so har he thought the ceiling was going to collapse but then they all stopped and Gesume started speaking “ ha ha no we are not after you we are after you time power that’s all you’re just a worthless piece of summoned trash but your power is really interesting” then Gelmute started speaking “but we can’t just take it from you by force we need to start a contract which then you can transfer your power to one of us but as I said we need to willingly start the contract with us so that means” the Calamity started speaking “that means that we will need to torture you enough that you will just give up your power and start the contract but this will not be any kind of torture we will bring you to the brink of death then use a heling spell on you and then again almost kill you and this will be repeated over and over again until you break”
