Raised in Dungeon

Human blood, goblin sweat, and other weird odors flooded Allen's nostrils as soon as he opened the door.

"NO! NO! DON'T COME CLOSER! YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT!I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!!!"

It was a small room. There were only a few lights inside, 1 torch was hanging on the right side of the room, and Lavinia held the other torch.

Lavinia… was surrounded by a herd of naked goblins.

Yellow liquid flowed from their crotches, drenching the floor. With wide grins and protruding tongues, the goblins snatched at Lavinia's body.

Try to fight, Lavinia used the torch she picked up and directed it at these goblins. Her feet were still hurt, so she couldn't run from there. Lavinia's voice was hoarse from her frantic shouting. It seems her clothes were not too wrecked but quite tattered, so it was safe to assume that the goblins had not done anything to her.

As the door opened, a brighter light from outside made the goblins aware of Allen's presence.

Allen was suddenly outraged seeing the goblins laughing disgustingly while looking at Lavinia. Lavinia's face was pale; she had a wrinkle that Allen had never seen before, and it made Allen understand how desperate and terrified she was.

Allen clenched the hilt of his sword with all his power, his eyes shining brightly, and a black aura emanated from his body. With rage, Allen yelled

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!" with monster language.

When the goblins saw Allen's rage, they were so scared that they all scooped up their weapons from the ground and jumped towards him.

"LIKK QUMAN!!!" yelled one of the goblins.

"I feel stupid for pitying your dead friends before. You all are not worth living in the first place."

-SLASH

Allen made a straight slash from left to right, and the five goblins that charged at him were cut down with a single slash. And then the next slash split the goblin's body in two. One by one, goblins were slashed by Allen. Allen was so angry that he didn't care how much blood splashed on him and kept swinging his sword. As for Reig, his fighting skill wasn't very good because he hadn't gotten used to his new body yet. So all Reig could do was shield Allen from behind-the-back attacks.

After ten minutes. Allen was finished killing all of the goblins in that room. Perhaps there were 30 goblins inside. Allen's body was coated with disgusting purple blood, yet Allen's red eyes could still be seen shining brightly. Allen's face was now so much calmer than the first time he killed the goblin.

Allen slowly walked towards a trembling Lavinia.

"Miss Lavinia… Everything will be fine now."

Lavinia was huddled at the room's edge while holding the torch in a crouching position. Her entire body was severely trembling, and she had a horrified expression on her face. Two goblin fingernails had scratched her cheek. Her eye bags were black, and so with her pupils—dark and empty. She may not be blind, but sure she saw nothing in those eyes.

Seeing Lavinia suffer, Allen bit his lip, then reached Lavinia's hand with his hand.

Deep down in his heart, Allen wants Lavinia to thank him for what he has done and start to like him so that Lavinia will want to stay with him inside that house again. And if Lavinia still didn't want to stay, he would ensure she got out of this dungeon safely.

But instead…

*SLAP!!!

Allen gets neither thanks nor a small appreciation for what he has done, she hit Allen's hand with an angry face.

"DON'T TOUCH ME MONSTER!!!" She hit Allen's hand with the torches she held. The torches slipped from Lavinia's hand as she hit Allen's hand, and it threw away to the left.

"Mi…Miss Lavini—"

"DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Lavinia wrapped both of her arms over her whole body. She had completely cut herself off from others.

"Miss… calm down, it's me, Allen… Everything is already fine."

"you piec….." Lavinia muttered in a a small voice.

"What is it?"

Lavinia now lifted her head, and looked at Allen fiercely.

"I SAID YOU ARE A F*CKING SON OF B*TCH!!! THIS ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE OF YOU!!!"

Allen was shocked and confused.

"YOU POISONED MY FOOD! AND NOW I CAN NOT USE MY OWN MANA!"

He is more confused now…

"Po-poison? What do you mean—"

Allen remembered his mother providing a different type of meat for Lavinia's food. His mother told Allen that the meat inside the dungeon is dangerous for humans, and it would take some time to get used to it. He didn't question it at all.

Allen realized that Queen Orc was trying to poison Lavinia.

Allen then tried to defend himself.

"Mother is the one who—"

"I KNOW! YOU ARE JUST BEING USED BY HER! SHE TELLS YOU NOTHING ANYWAYS! YOU ARE JUST HER PET! YOU SAID YOU WANTED ME TO STAY THERE FOREVER, RIGHT?! SATISFIED NOW?! I AM NOT EVEN CAPABLE OF GOING ANYWHERE NOW!"

Allen had no idea it would turn out this way. In the end, he just hoped at least he could talk with Lavinia before saying goodbye, but instead, he heard such hurtful words from her. Lavinia then continues…

"I REGRET NOT KILLING YOU THAT NIGHT!"

Pure hatred, Allen could feel the pure hatred that Lavinia felt toward him with only the way she gazed. Allen did his best to keep his tears from falling. He was shocked when Lavinia, whom he had always considered kind and gentle, said something very cruel to him.
