Chapter Title: Don't Forget Me (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There exists a corpse that dreams while standing. Its name is Luca. Its occupation is worthless trash.
Or, to be more precise, it's not even as good as a corpse. Because it can't even die on its own terms.
There was a time when I believed myself to be the Hero. A time when I dreamed of becoming a splendid knight, defeating the Demon King, and saving countless lives—a brilliant future like that.
But as with all flights to the heights, the fall happened in an instant. First, I lost my status as the Hero. I, who should have led the party and become the protagonist of an epic tale, turned into a useless lump of rock.
Next, I lost Nadia. My mentor. My dream. My future. She fell to a few punches from the man I despised most, revealing her ugly true nature and degenerating into nothing more than a whore.
After losing her, I lost a longtime friend. The village's pride, the genius mage no one could hate—she was utterly ruined, all her secrets laid bare.
And finally...
...
I couldn't bring myself to continue. I didn't even want to imagine it, let alone mention it.
"...Li."
A voice pierced through my lonely monologue. I hurriedly sealed off all my senses and hid in the darkness. But my vision was already opening, unveiling the future I'd refused to imagine right before my eyes.
"...Eli."
The voice grew clearer. I shut my eyes and ears, screaming desperately inside. Please stop. I don't want to see any more.
But as I said before, I was nothing more than a worthless piece of shit worse than a corpse, deprived even of the freedom to choose my own senses—a mere rock.
Soon, my vision cleared, and the familiar darkness filled my sight. Under the cruelly bright moonlight, I saw Eli lying gracefully on her sleeping bag... and Leo with his nose buried in her. The moment I witnessed that, I screamed in agony enough to sever my breath.
The first thing that caught my eye was Eli's peaceful expression. The deep shadows under her eyes, her broken right hand, and her deathly pale skin remained the same, but she was sleeping with calm breaths. Even though it was the sight I'd desperately wished for over the past few days, I couldn't feel the slightest relief.
"Haa... Eli..."
Leo stared at her from a distance where not even a finger could fit between them. After admiring her sleeping face, he sniffed her scent like a madman. Face. Neck. Chest. Waist. He trailed down one by one, then stopped at her lower body. Unable to hold back any longer, he buried his face between her legs and inhaled deeply.
"Snuuup... Haaa... You're driving me insane, Eli. You really..."
Like unwrapping a precious gift, he slowly pulled down her pants. As her snowy white thighs came into view, he ran his fingers gently over the soft skin.
"Your skin's so soft... and your scent is so sweet. I've been holding back all this time, thought I was going crazy, Eli."
"Mm..."
As his fingers neared a sensitive spot, Eli furrowed her brow and let out a moan. Wondering if she'd woken, Leo lifted his head. Confirming she was still asleep, he very slowly spread her legs apart.
"Haa... Pfft... Ahaha."
Her legs parted without resistance, revealing her pure white panties. Leo shrugged his shoulders and burst into laughter. But that laughter quickly turned into a sigh.
"I just want one taste. It must be so soft and sweet. The moment I lick it, she'll be squirting and howling like a bitch in heat. Should I just go for it right now?"
"While you're agonizing over that, you've probably already fucked her six or seven times. Why the hell are you hesitating like this?"
Rick looked down at him pitifully. Leo slowly wiped the smile from his lips and replied irritably.
"Because Eli's not like your cheap sluts. She's not some girl you can break with brute force like you do. And I don't want to use some unreliable method like Bobby either."
"Yeah? Doesn't seem that way to me. She's no different from all the bitches you've been pounding lately."
"That's why you'll never escape being a third-rate thug, Rick. You fuck anything that looks halfway decent. But Eli's different. She's smart, self-sacrificing. And especially that genius talent of hers. If I make this woman mine, I can be more than just a Hero who defeats the Demon King. And you have to admit this too..."
Leo slowly peeled off the coat covering her upper body. Beneath her thin clothes, her massive breasts swelled unmistakably.
"Doesn't she have the hottest fucking body?"
"Gotta admit that. Last summer, her figure was the only thing keeping me going. So, Leo, mind if I get one go? Honestly, you've been using Nadia and Sera like crazy. We all worked for this. Share once, yeah?"
"Dream on, Rick. You and Bobby are too rough with women."
"Not like you can talk."
"Not right now, at least. Right now..."
He turned back to Eli. She was squirming, frowning at the sudden chill.
"We wait until she's ripe enough."
"Ah... Mm..."
Then Eli, who'd been writhing for a while, began twitching her eyes. Noticing the subtle change, Leo and Rick turned away with sly grins.
"Ah..."
Eli opened her eyes and met Leo's face as if by fate. Facing that scene—which might be the start of a nightmare—she uttered a very brief impression.
"...Leo."
"Hey, Eli."
He flashed a smile of cruel satisfaction. Even though it hinted at certain doom, Eli glared at him without a flicker of hesitation. After staring silently for a long time, she slowly turned her head to look at the ground.
And suddenly, blood trickled from her mouth.
"Damn it! Bobby!"
Leo jolted in surprise, grabbed her chin, and forced her mouth open. She resisted fiercely, but her weakened body couldn't withstand his strength. Soon, her mouth parted, revealing a tongue stained with blood.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
"Can't you see? Hurry up and stop the bleeding!"
Bobby hastily hiked up his pants and rushed over. Even then, she glared at Leo with fierce eyes. Once the bleeding finally stopped and Bobby wiped his cold sweat, Leo met Eli's gaze with a stiff expression.
"Eli..."
He opened his mouth heavily, but he didn't seem angry. If anything, he looked a bit pleased.
"Well, fine. A little resistance makes the conquest all the sweeter."
"..."
He gently stroked her cheek and stood up. Then he gave Rick and Bobby a curt order.
"Tie her up."
There was only once in my life that I'd accidentally seen Eli in her underwear. I was just a kid hitting puberty back then, and Eli was a young girl just starting to develop. So young and clueless, we just stared at each other's faces. It wasn't until Eli's face flushed with unprecedented shame and tears welled up that I slammed the door and fled.
After that day, her image haunted me constantly, and I avoided her face for a while. Just once. I wanted to see her just one more time—that base desire surged, and one midnight, I even went near her house.
But I desperately held back and buried the urge deep inside. Because even at that young age, I knew the person you love deserves to be cherished even more. That's why, no matter how close we were, I'd hardly ever looked at Eli's body with lustful eyes.
So seeing Eli in her underwear was almost a decade later.
"Mmph..."
"Whoa... Looking at her stripped like this, she's no joke."
Leo stripped Eli completely in front of everyone. No—torn would be more accurate. Every time a body part hidden under thick clothes was exposed, the men gasped in admiration like they were appraising auction items at market.
"Damn, slut. Those tits are fucking huge. You've been hiding these all along?"
"Worth all the trouble, huh? Should've targeted Eli over Sera from the start."
"Yeah, you should've picked better at the beginning, Bobby."
"Tch... I just took the leftovers. Shit."
"Do better next time. Not that there will be a next."
Eli closed her eyes as their vulgar banter flew back and forth. She seemed detached at a glance, but the trembling eyelids betrayed the fear in her heart. I'd forgotten amid her recent toughness, but Eli was just an ordinary girl after all.
Leo grabbed her bound arms in front and slowly lifted them. Her flawless, clean armpits gradually came into view.
"Shaved clean, huh, Eli? Who'd you prepare these for? Hm?"
"..."
With her mouth gagged, Eli just lowered her head without responding. But when Leo licked her armpit with his tongue, she couldn't hold back and twitched.
"Ngh..."
"Honest reactions are cute. More sensitive than I thought?"
"..."
"Wish you could talk. But you keep trying to bite your tongue, so I have to gag you, Eli. Anyway, enough foreplay. Time for the main event."
He planted a final kiss on her armpit, then slipped a knife between the straps of her underwear. The last barrier guarding her purity looked so fragile.
The moment Leo slid the knife, the front strap snapped weakly, exposing Eli's pert breasts to the world. Like ten years ago, her face flushed with shame, but there was no one like me to spare her any consideration.
"Bigger up close. Fuck, rubbing my dick on those tits would be heaven."
"Perfect shape too. Feels like it'd squirt milk if I sucked them."
"Cut the crap, Bobby. Bring it. Time to start."
It. The mere mention sent chills down my spine. Bobby smirked meaningfully and pulled a potion bottle from his pocket. But instead of red HP potion, it contained a transparent liquid. He opened the lid, sniffed, and shook his head dizzily.
"Leo, this... isn't it too strong? Just the smell's got me heating up."
"It's meant for humans. Hand it over."
"For humans? Never heard of something this potent."
"Well, not exactly humans using it on humans."
Rick and Bobby chuckled at that. Leo dangled the bottle in front of Eli's eyes.
"Know what this is, Eli? Of course not. It's demon stuff. Ever heard of incubi? The slut race born to seduce women. This is their drug for feeding on yin energy. Hard to get on the market, but hey—this is the Demon King's Castle, and as you know, I'm well-versed in these things. Wanna smell?"
Eli thrashed in resistance, but he chuckled softly and set the bottle down. Stroking her hair gently, he said,
"Yeah, of course you hate it. No matter how strong-willed you are, addiction ends you. That's why I didn't want to use it. But nothing else came to mind."
"Mmph... Mm!"
"So two choices, Eli. Spend your life pickled in this mystery drug as an addict. Or spread your legs willingly and whisper you love me."
"..."
Eli glared at him coldly, no hesitation. She clenched her legs tight, rejecting the second option outright. Leo didn't panic. He just shook his head sadly.
"Too bad, Eli. Wanted you intact when I held you."
He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and dipped a finger into the bottle. Even he twitched as he brought his lips to her ear.
"I love you, Eli."
The finger glistened with the drug. He slowly brought it to her nipple and began rubbing gently.
"...!!!!!!"
The instant it touched—no need for insertion—Eli arched her back and climaxed. More violently than anyone I'd seen, she flailed wildly in Leo's arms.
"There, there. I know. Hard to hold back, right? No need to be ashamed. Can't will this away."
Breathing raggedly himself, he left a deep hickey on her neck—not so much a kiss as sucking her in. Eli shuddered violently at the sensation.
I'd seen countless climaxes in pleasure before, but Eli's hit me like never before. Maybe because I held out hope that she, at least, would be different.
But Eli was just a slightly strong-willed person, a fragile girl swept by inexorable fate. I tried to steel myself with that, but a sliver of hope lingered. She'll be different. Eli will be different.
"Alright then. Let's check down here."
But Leo crushed my hope, moving that unidentified glistening finger downward.
"Hnn... Hnn..."
Eli writhed in the onslaught of pleasure, desperately shielding her crotch. Amused, Leo pinched her nipple lightly.
"Ah!"
"Stubborn, huh, Eli? I can see everything's already wide open."
Without warning, he thrust a clean finger into her folds. Another wretched scream erupted.
"Hnnngh... Hnnn...!!!"
"Seriously soaked already, and you resisted this whole time?"
He rubbed her slit meticulously, then lifted his finger. Clear proof of pleasure dripped from his nail.
"Admit it—you're going crazy already. That heat between your legs is unbearable, right?"
"Mm... M..."
"Fine, try enduring. Your loss anyway."
He released the tugged nipple with a snap. Eli gasped raggedly. Leo savored her white breath, grabbed both legs, and roughly spread them wide.
"Hah... Hnn...!"
From her heated crotch, sticky fluid stretched, hot steam rising faintly. Her panties were visibly soaked from afar.
"Told you—ask down here for the truth from women. The top just lies. Right, Rick?"
"Yep. But has any girl gotten this wet before? Might have the highest sensitivity of any we've seen."
"Maybe."
Leo licked up her neck longingly while stroking her thigh. As he dipped into the bottle again, her fearful eyes fixed on him. Feeling it, he breathed into her ear.
"Hey, Eli. Was gonna stop here. But watching you suffer and struggle... can't hold back. You don't want it to end yet either, right?"
"Mm... Mm!"
"Yeah, I get it. Let's go a bit longer."
Finishing, he slowly slid his finger toward her panties' inside. Too weak to resist, Eli squeezed her eyes shut, bracing. Her clenched fists screamed unyielding resolve.
But the next moment, that will shattered pathetically.
"Hnaaaaaagh!"
The instant Leo's finger penetrated, Eli screamed and convulsed wildly. Even muffled by cloth, the sound tore my stone heart to shreds.
"Crazy bitch. Listen to her wail. Is that even human?"
"Eli might break faster than Sera. By tomorrow, she'll be on all fours licking dick like a dog."
"Shut up. Finger's clenched so tight I can't pull it out."
They surrounded her, snickering and piping up. To them, her pain was mere entertainment.
"Eli, how's it feel? Wanna talk now?"
Leo ripped off the gag cloth by force and pulled out his underwear stuffed in her mouth. Her wretched face emerged.
"Haaa... Hng... Haaang..."
Her mouth was as messy with drool as her soaked lower half. Her first unwanted orgasm from a hated man—unimaginable torment.
"Even your wrecked face is cute, Eli. You were too good for a hick like Luca anyway. Don't you think so?"
"Shu...t up..."
"Still got fight left? Not biting your tongue anymore? Figured it's pointless?"
"Ngh... Haaak!"
He jabbed precisely inside once. Even that overwhelmed her, drawing a rough moan.
"Melting every prod. Gonna keep resisting pointlessly?"
"Hng... Hic..."
"Just give in honestly. Easier that way, Eli."
"..."
Eli desperately looked away. Leo watched, then slowly stood.
"Fine."
"Ahk...!"
As the deep finger withdrew, Eli bucked her hips. Leo shrugged coldly.
"No more wasting time. Sick of being stuck here."
He lifted the bottle and yanked down her panties.
"So I'll end it quick."
Then he poured the entire contents into her spread hole.
"Wait, Leo! That's too much!"
"Haaaaaaaang!!!!!!!!"
As the liquid flooded inside, Eli couldn't even scream—mouth agape, body quaking violently. Her pupils dilated in shock, then contracted, repeating as she lost consciousness edges. Her body slicked with fluids, soaking the ground. Desperate to relieve the uncontrollable pleasure manually, but Leo grabbed her wrists and pulled down his pants.
"No, Eli. Can't do that."
His rigid erection sprang out, heading for her face. Seeing it, she panted madly.
"Yeah, smell it. Want it inside, don't you? You're losing your mind. Admit it."
"Haa... Haa... Hnnn..."
"Kiss the tip, Eli. I'll let you cum easy. It's okay now—no need to hold back. You've done enough."
"Haa... Hhic..."
Drool poured between gritted teeth. Pitiful beyond words, she drowned in ecstasy, body beyond her control. Even I wished she'd submit now.
"...Hic... Lucaaa..."
Yet her lips uttered my name. Eyes shut tight, she turned away from the escape before her.
"...Eli."
Leo showed no disappointment—just mild annoyance. He pulled up his pants and regagged her mouth.
"Figured as much. But how long can you last?"
He rose, pressing her breast deliberately. She writhed anew in pleasure. Looking down, he said,
"Spend tonight outside thinking it over. No touching yourself—hold it in. One night like that, and you'll change your mind."
"Hnnngh...! Haaa..."
Eli still climaxed alone on the ground, squirting fluids. Leo tasted the liquid on his finger slowly.
"I'll dress you. But it'll be worse—they say the fabric brushing nipples feels like electricity all over."
"...Hic..."
"See you tomorrow, Eli."
Eli shuddered with eyes closed. Leo stretched.
"Haa. Hey, sluts still up? Body's itching—gotta fuck something."
"What? If you're going, let me have yours."
"No. Needs ripening for obedience later. Bobby, tie her outside. Trust you won't do anything stupid."
"Don't worry, Leo. I prefer teasing too."
"Rick, pack up. Once Eli breaks, we leave."
"Why not now? Nothing good here."
"There is."
Leo paused, looked my way, and grinned meaningfully.
"That'll make her easier to tame."
I couldn't bear it and averted my gaze. The nightmare began again. The one I only dreamed when awake.
So hot between my legs. Inside itches like crazy, driving me mad.
"Hnn... Hic..."
Want something inside. Someone ram it rough. Pound till my mind's mush.
"Hmmp... Hic..."
But not just anyone. Better my own hand. Ugly or cheap, better me touching me.
"...Mm..."
But hands won't reach. Right—wrists and ankles bound together.
"Ah... Aah..."
Can't masturbate—makes it itch more inside. Even clothes brushing nipples nags. No—beyond nagging, maddening. Please thrust. Rape me. Ravish like a beast, quench this thirst.
'I'll make it easy. Eli.'
...
These thoughts summon that grotesque cock. Revolting, filthy, pungent—yet it clings, invading my vision, churning my heart. Tattooed inside my eyelids? Implanted in my pupils? Doesn't matter. Problem is it keeps appearing.
Leo. Leo. Leo. Leo's hideous thing. Uselessly huge. So massive, cool, promising release if inserted...
"Uuu...! Uuu..."
No. Not at all. Deny harder, clearer it gets. Can almost smell it. Fishy, nose-tingling, weirdly erotic.
"Hnnn... Haaaang..."
Stop, Eli. Think of Luca. He's right there—no need. I force eyes open, gaze at him desperately, despair at the blur. Then fatefully recall that damn cock. Through it all, I clasp bound hands in prayer.
Please let me endure. I have someone I love. Promised to love him forever.
No answer comes. I succumb again to the crotch tease, moaning sluttily.
...

'.. .. .... .. .... ..'
Again. This.
When suicidal thoughts hit, one phrase echoes like a final testament. Since when? First trapped in the barrier, buried in snow. Faint then—now clear as warm breath in my ear. Like it'll be my last words.
'.. .. .... .. .... ..'
Why this same phrase looping?
'.. .. .... .. .... ..'
A word I should've said long ago. Why now?
'.. .. .... .. .... ..'
Yes. Remembering vividly now. Unforgettable words. Ones I mustn't forget. Crystal clear.
I've always been by Luca's side. Only I can say this. Yes. Only me.
I finally grasp its meaning and scoff. Should've sooner. Don't know what it means to Luca, but it's all I can do for him now.
It started like this.
Luca.
Yes. Luca.
The phrase begins:
Luca.
...
Thud. Thud.
Sudden footsteps.
"...Seems no one's here."
Her whisper drew simultaneous replies from two men.
"Yeah? Good. Let's go."
"Fuck. All this hassle for one bitch."
Their voices gave them away instantly. Despair flooded me fast.
"So, Leo's really asleep, right?"
"Don't worry, Rick. Sera checked till the end. Right?"
"Yeah. Was rolling with Nadia till now—finally out."
"Good. Let's do it."
Do it. Clear meaning. I gritted teeth, clenched fists.
"Whoa. Perfectly wrapped."
Rick smacked his lips, undoing his pants. Bobby hesitated anxiously.
"Rick, do we have to? If Leo finds out, we're all..."
"He's asleep. Quick fuck and done. You passing?"
"No, but..."
"Sera, keep watch. I kill you first if caught."
"...Okay."
Sera dashed off somewhere hurriedly. But Bobby still wavered.
"Rick, better not. Traces'll show."
"Just pants down, pound away. You heal wounds. Easy to hide, right?"
"But... Can't regenerate sensitive spots like hymen. You know, Rick."
Rick pondered now. First hope sparked in me. Please stop. Can't take more.
But Rick's imagination was vile.
"Then ass it is. Leo won't check there."
Ah...
First desperate wish to Bobby. Please, Bobby. Say no. You don't want me that way. Please.
Bobby pondered. Then answered my wish.
"Good idea."
