A Suffering Heabi, and the Second Game Begins
Revenge is hollow. That phrase always seems to pop up in stories about vengeance across all kinds of media.
But that's nothing but hypocritical nonsense from people who've never truly dreamed of revenge.
Dohyung hated that saying with every fiber of his being. Back when he was playing the role of a hero in that other world, there had been people who said those exact words to him. They told him to forget about revenge, stay in their world, and live out the rest of his life happily. When he first heard it, Dohyung had actually wondered for a moment if forgetting his revenge and remaining in that other world might not be so bad. After all, there were people there who treated him like a comrade, who smiled at him, who shared in the sorrow of his past.
He had asked himself: Would living like that make him happy?
In the end, Dohyung had shaken his head. When he remembered why he had come to that other world in the first place, and what purpose he had to live for, he knew he could never, never give up on his revenge.
Dohyung, who had refused to forget his vengeance, had returned to his original world. Now he was in the middle of exacting that revenge by kidnapping the four people who had tormented him to the point of wanting death—Jia, Jiseon, Taehyun, and Eunji—and repaying them in full for everything they had done to him.
As he carried out his revenge, Dohyung couldn't help but realize something. The people who claimed revenge was hollow had never once been driven to the brink of death themselves. They were nothing but empty hypocrites. Their words were just empty noise meant to showcase their own supposed goodness.
If revenge truly was hollow, then what was this rising sense of elation and happiness boiling up inside Dohyung's heart right now? The feeling that all the stress he had bottled up while waiting to get revenge on the four people who had ruined his life for no reason was completely vanishing—how could that possibly be hollow?
Humans were creatures capable of empathizing with another's pain and sharing in their sorrow. But when Dohyung looked at the girls writhing in agony before him—one with a piercing through her clitoris, the other with her tongue split in two—he felt no such empathy whatsoever. Instead, their screams brought him more pleasure than the most exquisite classical music from an orchestra. Could anyone still call this revenge hollow after that?
Dohyung knew what they really meant. The "hollow" part probably referred to how, after completing one's revenge, a person would lose all meaning in life and wander aimlessly. It was a common trope in manga and movies—after the target of vengeance finally died, the avenger would lose their purpose too, drifting until they met a miserable end.
Perhaps that would be Dohyung's fate as well.
But he didn't really care how it turned out. Just seeing the girls suffering in front of him brought him too much joy. Besides, there was nothing left in this world that he felt any attachment to anymore. The only thing fueling him, the infinite source of energy that kept him moving, was his thirst for revenge.
If the day ever came when his revenge reached its conclusion... then Dohyung's choice would be...
Will it bring even greater torment?
"A-ah! Ahhh! It hurts! Aaaaaaaaagh!!"
"H-hic... It hurts... My pussy... My pussy hurts so much..."
If Jiseon hadn't been tied to her chair right now, she would have clamped her hands over her ears immediately. The agonized screams pouring from both sides—Jia and Eunji—made her feel like she was going insane.
At first, she'd only felt relief at having avoided punishment. No matter what happened to the other two, the most important thing to Jiseon was her own safety. But as she sat there listening to Dohyung ignore her completely while doing unspeakable things to Jia and Eunji right beside her, it felt like she was being tortured too.
Fuck... If you're going to do this, at least untie me already!!
She couldn't say it out loud, so she screamed it inside her head with all her might. Of course, Dohyung was reading her thoughts and laughing to himself.
The moment he sensed how much the screams from both sides were tormenting Jiseon, he had decided to leave her tied up until the punishments for Jia and Eunji were finished.
"Aaaaaaaaaagh!!"
Eunji was still screaming from the pain of her split tongue. Dohyung had said he would use anesthesia so it wouldn't hurt, but the sensation of her tongue being cut combined with the overwhelming shock of pain had been too much. It was like getting punched without any warning. That, too, had been exactly what Dohyung intended.
Simply damaging their bodies wasn't enough to satisfy him. These girls needed to writhe in constant agony, he believed. If it were up to him, he would have cut her tongue without any anesthesia at all, but it was obvious her mind wouldn't have survived that, so with some reluctance he had set it so she would only feel the minimum amount of pain.
In truth, there were other ways to create a split tongue that resembled a snake's—methods that involved gradually widening a hole over time. But Dohyung had chosen to cut it with his own hands. Because that way hurt more.
Watching Eunji suffer brought a smile to his face. For now, he used magic to ease some of the pain from the girl who was screaming like a madwoman. He stopped the bleeding from the wound and created a special membrane to prevent saliva or other foreign substances from touching it. He applied the same magic to Jia, whose clitoris was still bleeding, to stop the flow and treat her as well.
"Alright, shall we stop here for now? I've healed you so you won't bleed anymore, so be careful not to aggravate the wounds. Especially you, Heabi—since it's in your mouth, you'll have to be extra careful, right?"
Dohyung spoke with clear enjoyment as he slowly untied the three girls from their chairs. The first one freed, Jia, immediately tore off her blindfold and checked her own body. Seeing the piercing on her clitoris—identical in shape to the butterfly ones on her nipples but different in color—made her think of cheap prostitutes who sold their bodies to men. The tears that had been flowing refused to stop.
Imagining what Dohyung might do to her body from now on was even more horrifying. Ever since he'd pierced her nipples, he had frequently tormented her by grabbing and tugging on them. Now her clitoris had suffered the same fate. She didn't know if there would be more piercings in the future, but Jia desperately hoped no more would be added to her body.
Next, Jiseon was released from her chair. Seeing Jia, who had been freed first, checking her clitoris, Jiseon felt grateful once again that she hadn't received punishment this time. Even though the screams that had tortured her ears still echoed in her mind, her own body was completely fine. She vowed that even if another game like this happened in the future, she would do whatever it took to avoid punishment.
Finally, Eunji was freed from her chair. But she couldn't stand up right away. The strange sensation and pain from her tongue still prevented her from thinking clearly.
Looking at her, Dohyung gestured for Jia and Jiseon to come closer. The two girls flinched in surprise and hurried over immediately.
"She's a bit out of it right now. Well, she'll come back to her senses soon enough. Take care of her until then."
"Yes... Master..."
"Yes, Master!"
While Jiseon answered normally, Jia's response was weak and lifeless.
"For the next few days, she'll have trouble using her tongue... so feed her with this."
What Dohyung pulled out was a hose.
"Just shove it straight down her throat so the food doesn't touch her tongue. I'll prepare meals that don't need to be chewed."
Unlike Jia, whose mind was still reeling from her punishment, Jiseon saw Dohyung as nothing short of a demon. The idea of force-feeding someone through their throat because they couldn't use their tongue was something she had never even imagined.
"H-hah... Waaaaaaaah!!"
Eunji covered her mouth with her hands and burst into tears. She found it impossible to accept why she was being subjected to this. She remembered what she had done to Dohyung, but she couldn't believe she was now in this situation, being retaliated against for it. She had simply thought everything could be solved with the large amount of money she possessed.
Every time her tongue twitched, an indescribable sensation drove her to the brink of madness. She knew she shouldn't move the two halves of her split tongue differently, but the feeling that they were operating independently was too much to bear.
Dohyung said he would go prepare Eunji's food and ordered them to clean up the chairs and everything else in the meantime, then left the basement. Watching him go, Jiseon—who had been the only one left unscathed today—hurriedly began tidying the chairs. Jia helped with the cleaning as well.
On the other hand, Eunji, who still couldn't accept reality, stared silently at the open basement door. Then, without a word, she stood up from her chair and sprinted toward it.
Shocked by Eunji's escape attempt, Jia and Jiseon immediately chased after her. Fortunately, Jiseon was faster and managed to catch her before she could get out of the basement. Caught by Jiseon, Eunji thrashed wildly, trying to break free as she screamed in a voice full of resentment. However, because her tongue wasn't normal, her pronunciation was off.
"Let go! Let me go! I'm getting out! I'm getting out of here!!"
"You crazy bitch! You think you can actually escape?! If we could get out, we would've done it a long time ago!!"
Annoyed by Eunji's struggling, Jiseon grabbed her and slammed her onto the floor. Eunji's head hit the ground, and the impact knocked her unconscious immediately.
When Eunji suddenly stopped moving, Jiseon panicked and slapped her cheeks a few times before checking if she was still breathing. Realizing she had simply fainted, Jiseon let out a sigh of relief.
"Whew... Fuck... If this stupid bitch tries to escape, we'll be the ones getting punished again..."
"Good job, Kkami... Put a collar on this bitch and let's finish cleaning up before Master comes back."
Jiseon nodded at Jia's words—she had approached at some point—and dragged the unconscious Eunji away. She put a collar on her, then tied up her hands and feet as well. When they fed her later, shoving the hose into her mouth would definitely make her resist, so it was better to restrain her properly in advance.
In the meantime, Dohyung returned with Eunji's food.
"Hmm? You're cleaning up nicely. Butterfly, feed this to Heabi. Kkami, come over here."
Jia took the food as instructed and approached Eunji. Jiseon, feeling slightly anxious at being suddenly called by Dohyung, walked over to him.
As soon as Jiseon came close, Dohyung grabbed her body, spun her around, pulled down her pants, and thrust his cock between her ass cheeks. Thanks to the so-called quiz show that had just tormented the three of them, combined with the pain-filled screams from Jia and Eunji, Dohyung's cock was rock-hard and ready to burst.
"Hngh!"
Jiseon was startled by the sudden intrusion into her asshole without any warning. Without saying a word, Dohyung simply began thrusting into her ass, shaking his hips.
S-suddenly... Ugh! It's so big...
Feeling Dohyung's cock, which was even larger than usual from his erection, Jiseon couldn't resist. She simply accepted it into her asshole. After all, resisting wouldn't accomplish anything, so she decided to ride the pleasure rising from her ass and enjoy it.
Jia stared blankly at Jiseon, who was having anal sex with Dohyung, then slapped the unconscious Eunji's cheek hard to wake her.
"U-ugh...?"
"Just eat your food already."
Before Eunji could fully regain her senses, Jia forced a gag into her mouth and shoved the hose down her throat. Startled by the sudden hose entering her throat, Eunji tried to struggle, but her smaller frame and lack of strength compared to Jia made it impossible to break free. She had no choice but to swallow the unknown food being pushed down her throat.
As Jia watched Eunji eat, the sight of Jiseon having anal sex with Dohyung somehow made her angry. She didn't know if it was because she hadn't had sex with Dohyung lately, or because Jiseon looked relatively unscathed compared to her own pierced body from today's punishment. Whatever the reason, she found herself seething.
"K-kh... Khk!"
Doing her best to suppress her anger at the moans coming from behind her, Jia continued feeding Eunji. And she made a vow. In tomorrow's game, she would win no matter what.
The next day, the second game began. The number Jiseon drew from the container was 18. What was written on it was...
Tug of War.
