Chereads / OGI: The Hunt for Level Three / Chapter 151 - Games of Torment

Chapter 151 - Games of Torment

On the north side of Grava City, in an area that Wrath hasn't ravaged, Ego is inside a house with a family of four: a dad, mom, son, and baby girl.

Ego currently has the entire family at gunpoint in the corner of their house.

"Wow, you all look so scared, especially the little boy," Ego says with a smile.

Ego starts to pace back and forth around the house as the family sits in the corner of the room, shaking with fear.

"What to do with y'all? Hmm? You know I came out here with L.T.O. to have some fun with the man of chaos I've been searching for ever since I got here, but I need a little fun before I get too deep into this."

Ego starts to tap the pistol in his hand against his head.

"What to do?"

As the rest of his family sits in fear, the dad stands up.

"Please spare my family! They have so much more to offer the world; please just take me!"

The mother instantly flinches after hearing the father's statement and grabs his hand.

"Honey, please no!"

"No, I have to do this for our children!"

When Ego hears the back and forth between the dad and mom, he smiles.

"Yeah, you're right! That's exactly what we should do!"

"Wait really?"

"Yeah, you're right, those kids have a bright future ahead of them, so whether they live or not should be decided by their father!"

"Wait, that's not what I'm saying!"

Ego takes a seat down on a chair next to a table, which has another chair sitting across from it.

"Come take a seat, Dad; we're going to play a little game I made," Ego says with a psychotic expression.

The dad sits in front of Ego with sweat sliding down his face.

"Don't be scared; go ahead and put both of your hands on the table.

"The dad puts his hands on the table, and Ego instantly pulls out two knives and stabs one in each of his hands, stapling his hands to the table.

"Ahhh!"

"No, honey!" the mom screams.

"Daddy, no," the child whispers with tears filling his face.

After hearing her dad's scream, the baby starts to weep in her mom's arms.

"Now, Dad, the game I've created for you is an exciting one. The rules are simple: I'm going to ask you five math questions, and you must answer them correctly. If you get one wrong or scream, one of your family members back there catches an anti-OGI hollow point to the head. Understand?"

As the dad shivers from the pain of the knives in his hands, he starts to think about his options.

"Ok, that's easy; just some questions, and don't scream; I can do that."

"Yes! That's the spirit; be confident you got this!" Ego says while clapping.

"Now the first question, twelve times twelve, go ahead and answer."

"Oh, that's simple it—"

Suddenly, Ego grabbed one of the dad's nails and aggressively tore it off with great speed.

"Ahhhh!"

"Uh, oh, I said no screaming," Ego says with a crazed smile on his face.

Ego picks up his pistol and shoots the mom in the face.

"No!"

As the blood of their mom stains the kid's body, Ego's game continues.

"Oh, did I forget to tell you? Every time I ask a question, I will tear off one of your fingernails. Sorry, I didn't tell you earlier."

"You killed my wife," the dad says with a devastated expression.

After hearing the pain in the father's voice, Ego smiles.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that, but at least you'll be able to save your children. Just make sure you answer these questions correctly. Now go ahead four times four and make sure you answer correctly."

"Six..."

Ego tears off another fingernail, and instantly the dad bites his lip to hold in his scream.

"Teen"

"Good job! Now ten times ten!"

Ego tears off another fingernail, and the dad bites down on his lip once again.

"One hundred."

This back-and-forth continued for the next two minutes, with Ego asking eight questions. With his lip gushing out a massive amount of blood, the dad stares at Ego with an exhausted expression.

"Wow, you made it this far! I love that for you. Now we just have two more questions to go. Six times six?"

"Thirty—"

Before the dad could speak any further, Ego grabbed his pistol and shot one of his fingers off.

"Ahhhh!"

After feeling a bullet shoot his finger off, the dad screamed and cried in anguish.

"Oops, did I forget to mention that pulling isn't the only way I can remove one of your fingernails? Oh, and since you screamed, your child's dead," Ego screams with a happy grin on his face.

Ego quickly shoots the son in the face with his pistol.

"Haha, oh wow, this is so fun! I need to do this again!"

Ego sits back down in his seat and looks at the dad.

"Now the only one you have left is the baby in the dead bitches arms, right?"

"Please stop. Why are you doing this? Are you even human?"

"Huh? Why? Well, duh, it's because you're a human who's only here for my amusement, and I know if I play with you the way I want, it will be chaos, and I couldn't ask for anything more exhilarating!"

"Please stop"

"Well, now let's continue with the game and tell you what I won't hurt you this time. What's infinity times zero?"

"What? But that's undefined; there is no answer."

"Well, too bad for you; undefined isn't an answer I'll take."

Ego gets up and grabs the dad's arm. He then yanks his hands off the table, which causes the knives to slice through his hands.

"Ahhh!"

"Damn, and you screamed as well! You're not good at this game at all."

Ego throws the dad to the floor and walks up to the corpse of the mom. He picks up the baby and throws her on the floor in front of her dad. When it hits the ground, the baby instantly starts crying.

"It's ok, sweety, you'll be fine, Daddy promises," the dad says as he looks into the baby's eyes.

The dad starts to move his hand to the baby girl to try to pull her closer, but then Ego swiftly crushes the baby's head with his right foot.

As the blood of the baby splatters on his face, the dad's face turns from sadness to rage.

"Damn you! Why are you doing this to u—"

Ego shoots the dad in the head with his pistol, instantly killing him.

"I told you what happens when you scream, didn't I?"

Ego starts to laugh hysterically with a crazed look in his eyes as the blood of all the family members comes together on the floor.

"Hahaha! Yes, now I'm ready for the man of chaos!"

While L.T.O.'s invasion of Grava City becomes more intense, a strange team-up brews in the Snachro Zone. On a remote island in the Snachro zone, Exploiters team and the Snachro brothers have gathered.

After the Snachro brothers completely walk out of Satch's pocket dimension, they stand face-to-face with Exploiter, Ketsu, and Butch.

"So you all are the infamous Snachro brothers. Your group's name is known throughout the Snachro Zone."

After hearing Exploiter's compliments, Satch smiles proudly.

"Well, you know I plan to lead these boys to the top of the world, so making an entire zone know our names is light work!"

"Don't act like you did it all yourself, dumbass."

"So sad! Brother Frax doesn't know how to appreciate how great of a leader Brother Satch is."

"Shut up already with that so sad shit already, Ruth!"

"Hey, would you two control yourselves for two seconds? Have some situational awareness, damn it!"

While the three brothers converse Ketsu walks over to Exploiter and taps her on the shoulder.

"Once again, are you sure these are the guys you want on our team?"

"Ketsu I told you to stop doubting me. You remember what the plan is, right?"

"Yes, of course you plan to invade L.T.O.'s base while all its strongest members are off chasing after the dagger in Grava City.

"Exactly. That's why I stole information from Nisugi, so I could formulate a foolproof plan. Satch here can create his pocket dimensions, but with a little more focus, he can break into other dimensions by spawning his pocket dimension portals in them."

"Wait, so that's why you need them! So is L.T.O.'s base in another dimension?"

"Well, not exactly according to the info I stole from Nisugi; it's in a sandwiched area between time and space. In this place, time doesn't exist, and the area stretches infinitely. With Satch's power, we will be able to safely invade that area and steal the dagger L.T.O. has in their possession."

"Oh, you mean the one Hunter stole off the dead body of the Beast King?"

"Yes, exactly, but that will be the job of me, Mary, and the Snachro brothers."

"Wait, then what will me and Butch be doing?"

"Well, you and Butch will be going to Grava City and putting in your best effort to sneak off with the dagger there."

"Wait, what? Why? And why do I have to do it with Butch?"

"Oh, come on, Ketsu, you don't want to work with me? We can look at pictures of my girlfriend on our way there." Butch remarks while standing behind Ketsu.

"Calm down, Ketsu. I just want you to try because the farther away L.T.O. is from discovering level three, the better. We're definitely coming out today with one dagger, but coming out with two would be very advantageous."

"Alright fine! But Exploiter, are you sure you can trust all this information you stole from Nisugi because she knows you stole information from her? What if she attacked Grava City days ago or, even worse, relocated the dagger?"

"Nisugi originally planned to attack Grava City a week prior but changed the date to today. She also kept the dagger in the same spot because she was confident that I wouldn't be able to find a way to their base. Now, how do I know all this stuff you ask? It's because I raised that child. I taught her every trick and calculation she knows or knew. This means even now, when I have no control over her, she's still under my thumb like an obedient pet," Exploiter says with a smile.

"Damn, that's cold even for you. That is your daughter, you know?"

 

"I'm not about family ties; I'm about my business, and currently my business is beating L.T.O. to the punch..."

 

Explioter turns around and looks at Ketsu with a stern expression and tone.

 

"And I don't care if I have to exploit every fiber of my daughter's being to do it."

 

"Wow, ok, I understand very much, mam. Well, now where's Mary? Don't you need her for the plan?" Ketsu asks with a nervous tone.

"I'm right here, Ketsu. Can you ever be patient?"

Everyone looks over to where they heard the loud but sweet voice come from.

They see a 6'1 beige woman with gold hair and blue eyes. She's wearing well-done makeup, a red skirt with a gold chain attached to it, a white shirt that has a flower design on the bottom half of it, and also has red painted nails.

"Don't worry, boys, Mary has arrived," Mary says while putting up the peace sign.

"And where have you been?" Ketsu asks with a bummed expression.

"I was busy getting my nails done, but I know you wouldn't know anything about that since your nails look like they're made out of mud!"

"Tch, here we go with this shit."

"I told you, Ketsu, you just have to give her a few moments." Butch remarks.

Exploiter walks over to the Snachro brothers.

"Alright, Satch, I think it's time to earn your money."

"Yep, time to go!"

Satch's body starts to glow intensely.

"Alright, pocket-dimension teleport! Rahh!"

After two minutes of struggling, Satch was finally able to open up a red portal to the location of the L.T.O.'s base."

"Ok, we're off! Ketsu and Butch follow your orders, but make sure your top priority is living because I need you for the future."

Exploiter, Mary, and the Snachro brothers walk into the poket dimension, and it instantly closes.

After the portal closes, Ketsu turns to Butch.

"Ok, come on, we have a long way to go. Let's get to Grava City."

"Ya! I finally get to tell you more about my honey!"

"Damn, I'm going to need to get some headphones."

As things heat up in the background back at Grava City, something strange is happening in the aftermath of the fight between Nixion and Hunter.

Under the rumble of a destroyed house, the leg of Hunter, that had gone cold a long time ago, starts twitching. All of a sudden, a lightning bolt comes down from the sky and shocks the severed leg.

Instantly, every OGI user in Grava City felt a menacing presence return to the battlefield.

"Hahaha!"
