That voice alone could give a heart attack...
I’ll never forget when I was six. Powder and I were always getting into trouble, tearing through the fields, swiping crops and fruit from unsuspecting farrs. It was all just fun and gas until the day she caught us.
A girl with the scariest short pink hair and those eerie golden eyes spotted us raiding her father’s potato field. She beat us black and blue right there among the rows, and from that day on, our fates were sealed.
We beca her lackeys. She beca our little mafia boss. Every bit of loot we managed to grab had to go straight to her—no exceptions. Or else... Well, let’s just say, it wasn’t worth the risk. She’s always been a monster. A stupid, terrifying, ugly—wait, what?
I glance up at her now and instantly freeze.
The girl I’d despised as a kid was different now. My gaze locked onto hers, those golden eyes refusing to let look away. Her face was flawless, her body strong, muscular, but still undeniably feminine, with curves in all the right places. Her hair, once cropped short, now flowed down her back in a single long ponytail.
How do I even put this? She’s got a pair of—massive lons. Holy shi—
Before I can process it, sothing smacks into my face at lightning speed the instant my eyes drift to her chest.
It’s not my fault she’s wearing a dress that leaves almost nothing to the imagination...
Blackout!
Thud... Thud...
What’s going on? My head is spinning, and I can feel myself moving—no, being carried. The last thing I rember is spotting two massive fruits, my eyes popping out of my head, and then... darkness.
Even now, I can’t seem to open my eyes. I’m probably still unconscious, but I can sense everything around . Who’s carrying ? Where am I even going?
"Roxy... can you please let us go... for old tis’ sake... Please forgive Quill..." Powder’s voice cos through, low and desperate, like he’s pleading for both our lives. Is Roxy really the one hauling around? Wherever I’m lying, it feels hard, but my limp hand keeps bumping into sothing round and soft... And she slls... sweet. Nice, even.
What are you thinking, Quill? Are you so kind of creep? You probably deserve a beating for this... I curse myself, fighting to control my wandering thoughts before I tumble off the edge for good.
"He deserves it." Roxy’s voice snaps, surprisingly cute, which is probably a sign I’ve lost my mind. "You two brats ran away, ratted out as the leader, and I got kicked out of the village. Did you really think I wouldn’t hold a grudge? Today, you’ll see... follow if you want to live a little longer. Or else..." Her words jolt awake, like a slap I badly needed.
"Especially Quill... I’ll make sure he never runs away from again."
That did it. Her words made angry, and sohow, I found the strength to squeeze as hard as I could with my limp hand, grabbing onto that softness for dear life. It felt... weirdly satisfying...
But then, suddenly, I was weightless, falling through the air.
Blackout! Round two.
Silence. It can be dreadful and comforting at the sa ti.
But being tied up and stripped naked in soone else’s house? That is definitely not either of those things!
"What the hell is going on?!" I twist and squirm, but the ropes dig into my wrists—sharp and unyielding, burning more the harder I fight. And why am I naked?
Did Roxy strip just to humiliate ? This is bad... My chest... my secret!
The crimson hole in my chest pulses like a living heart. There’s a crystal embedded at the center, but I’ve never dared to touch it. Did she? Shit... What am I supposed to do now? What will Big Boss say if he sees like this?
"You need to work out, that’s what we’d say... No wonder you got tossed around like a useless leaf with such a frail body. Even soone in the comnts pointed it out—look."
{New Comnt on Chapter 10 from Current number one fan—ObservantReader: Rip, aren’t you a farr? why is your physical stats so low?}
My face starts burning bright red. Listen... I know I’m not much, but why are we even talking about my physique right now?
"Go away, Big Boss. If Roxy sees you... She already found out about my secret... and my quill... my clothes—everything’s gone, and my chest is just out there for everyone to see..."
"Relax. How many tis do I have to tell you... Nobody can take your quill away, you damn fool. For your IQ, you really are stupid."
"You..." That one stings right where it hurts. This stupid system always knows how to bite when I’m already down...
"Don’t complain. Just wait here. Your childhood lover will be back soon."
"We’re not lovers!" My face is practically molten.
"That’s not what your mories say. As far as we can see, Roxy confessed to you when you were kids, and you betrayed her. Honestly, you deserve this punishnt. I won’t tell you how to get your quill back. Not yet. Stay here and complete a quest until she returns."
"Right now?!"
"Yes, right now..."
[You have received a new quest: Answer the reader comnts and entertain them. Failure to comply will result in punishnt, which could be death. Most likely.]
"Hey, wait... not now! I can do it later, just wait! Big Boss! Why?!"
Nothing helps—the system vanishes, leaving completely alone. Even Powder’s gone. And now all my secrets are out in the open... Just great.
Well, my dear readers... looks like it’s just you and for a while. We’ll wait here together. For, uh... that woman. The changed woman. Ahem.
P.S. Don’t say a word about how I look right now. I don’t like her, okay? That’s not why my face is burning...
