Lust System in the Murim World

"This sound! It's coming from there."

Alex instantly turned his head to the left and saw the vehicle. He was hoping that this vehicle didn't belong to one of those outside the prison. Unfortunately, he was wrong.

It was one of that vehicles. Seeing the prisoners driving the vehicle, he hesitated for a second. He knew he didn't have much time to decide but he wasn't sure what to do.

After five seconds, he finally came to a decision and raised his hand.

"Hey! Hey! Here! Please stop! Hey!"

Shaking both of his hands, he started shouting towards the jeep. He ran as well. He didn't want to miss this chance, so he chased behind the jeep. But the sound of the vehicle was so big that those prisoners didn't hear him.

But, suddenly, among three prisoners on the jeep, one of them saw a figure running towards them while swinging his arm.

"Wait, wait, and stop the jeep! Stop it!"

When he saw Alex, his eyes widened. He immediately asked the driver to stop. He recognized Alex because he had seen Alex when he was brought inside the prison. From then on, although he didn't see Alex, he always get to hear the scream for two years.

"What happened?" The driver stopped the deep and asked with confusion. Soon, he also heard shouting from behind. He turned around and saw Alex.

Just like that man, his eyes also widened.

"This voice? Doesn't this belong to him?" He instantly turned to the prisoner next to him and asked. The driver was sure that this voice belonged to Alex. Unlike that prisoner, he hasn't seen Alex but he can never forget his voice.

The prisoner nodded his head and bites his lips. Soon, Alex caught up and reached up to the front door. He panted for a while and raised his head.

"Thank you for st..."

Suddenly, the prisoner got out of the seat and embraced Alex.

"Thank God, you are alive. For two years, I prayed to God for your escape."

Alex felt strange for a moment. He was sure that he doesn't know this man. But, this man is showing a lot of compassion. And, this left him in confusion. Because he didn't understand why.

Suddenly, this man pushed Alex away from his embrace and said "Ahh! I almost forgot that we don't even know each other. The truth is that I had a son who would be exactly your age. So, whenever I heard you scream, it made me remember son. So, I am really glad that you are alive."

"Yeah! Although I am not that emotionally attached to you, I also feel the same. It's good that you are alive." The driver also dashed out of the seat and patted Alex's head.

"You really suffered a lot of injustice for something that you didn't even commit. Oh! You might be hungry, come and eat some!" The third prisoner didn't get out of the car but rather invited him to seat while giving him the food.

"Yeah, since you are alone that means you were walking this entire time. You must be tired. Sit! We can introduce each other while traveling." The man who embraced him patted his shoulder and opened the door of the jeep.

But, Alex was frozen for a moment. He didn't know how to respond. First, he wasn't a social person. Second, he was tortured like hell to the point where people he didn't know were so generous to him. Third, he didn't know whom to trust.

"Don't worry, they are weak. Even if they do something, you can kill them easily." Suddenly, Adam's voice rang in his head and unfreeze him. After hearing Adam's words, he bites his lips and got inside the seat.

The man next to him passed an apple and bread with a bottle of water to him but Alex hesitated. He didn't know whether he should take this or not.

Seeing his reaction, the man who embraced him sighed.

"I know it is very hard to trust someone after your own parents abandoned you. But, believe us! We mean no harm to you. We might not be good guys for everyone but for you, we aren't bad."

Hearing his words, Alex still hesitated. He didn't know how to respond here. At this moment, Ava's voice rang in his head.

"Eat it, Alex! You haven't eaten anything for two years. This world is full of different people. Some might torture you, some might lie to you, some might destroy you, but some might help you, some might befriend you, and some might create emotions for you. Take it slow, Alex!"

"And, don't forget you still have Poison Resistance Body. So, even if they aren't trustworthy people, it won't mean you have to distrust them."

Hearing her words, Alex finally moved his hand and held the bread, and put it in his mouth. At this moment, he realized the bread was getting wet and salty. Only then, he realized that he was crying.

Two years! He has felt nothing but betrayed and tortured. For two years, he lived on nutrition doses and never ever got a chance to eat food. Even though he didn't get hungry, he still missed the food.

Seeing him crying, the man next to him patted his head and said "Family is something to make, friends are something to find, and trust is something to earn. You lived through hell for two years. There should be nothing that would make you more painful now."

"So, give it try! Even if the result ends up in betrayal, give it a try! Find friends for yourself, find a family that you deserve, and earn the trust of those people. Your life will return back to normal. As for your enemy, if you have strength, you can fight them."

"If you don't then wait.... Someone will get revenge for you."

When he said that, Alex noticed an intense blood thirst and anger from all three of them. At this moment, Ava spoke.

"While you were unconscious, that man Peter revealed his plan to change the world. He called humans, the parasite who lives by sucking on each other. I don't know his exact plan but it seems like he will get rid of Holy Church and White Knights."

"And, with his seven spirits, I don't think that's impossible. He convinced these people to increase his influence as well. All three of them lost their family. Their wife, children, parents, everyone was killed by White Knights."

Hearing those words, Alex's eyes widened. He didn't know that such a thing actually happened. He looked at them. He finally understood that blood thirst and anger. He clenched his fist and hoarsely spoke.

"Sorry about your families!"

When he said that, those men finally burst into tears. They didn't reply or even speak for ten minutes. They just remained silent. But after ten minutes, the man who embraced him spoke "My name is Luke. The man driving the jeep is James. And, the man sitting next to you is Aran."

"Your name is Alex, right? I heard it a few times from that man's mouth."

"Yes!" Alex nodded his head. He finished the bread, apple, and bottle of water in those ten minutes.

"You should change your clothes. Aran, give him one of the clothes!" Luke spoke as he instructed Aran.

It seemed like there were few packages on the jeep.

"You might be curious about all this. It was left by our savior. There is enough food for five days and also some clothes to wear during day and night since we are in a desert." Aran passed him a shirt and a robe to cover himself properly.

Although he could use Spirit Energy to cover himself, wearing proper cloth wasn't a bad idea. He took the clothes and started taking off his t-shirt. When he took it off, those three saw his body. It was full of scars. There were marks of whips, knives, spikes, and some burned parts.

Even though regeneration could regenerate his skin, some wounds were impossible to cure completely. Those scars were the wounds that he is willing to have.

When they saw those scars, two of them placed their hand on their legs and their head on their hands as they tear up. On the other side, the driver didn't cover his eyes. He just burst into tears without hiding it.

"Don't cry! You have already cried enough. And, these scars are the reason why I am willing to live and will continue to live. So, don't feel sad for me!"

Hearing his words, they barely controlled their tears. Even they know they can't bear such scars. They will die even before bearing such pain. But, the boy who is nearly ten to twenty years younger than them borne such pain and torture.

"Alex, I am not sure if you will ever become a Spiritual Warrior or not. But, if you can, hide, hide until you are strong enough. And, once you are strong enough, torture that guy! Put the poisonous needle in his eyes, cut off his d*ck, burn his ass on fire, press him under the thousands of spikes, don't hold back, torture him until you are satisfied."

"I don't want to say anything about your parents because that's for you to decide but for him, I want to say. Give him hell!"
