Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 437: Experiment [1]

Elder Ros took deliberate steps forward, his every move drawing Shin's attention. The creases on Shin's forehead deepened, displaying his growing frustration and defiance. 

With a firm and unwavering voice, he commanded, "Release me this moment." His unwavering gaze remained fixated on Elder Ros's extended arm, gradually approaching his forehead with an ominous intent, something that couldn't be described by mere words. 

As Elder Ros's index finger gently made contact with Shin's forehead, a wave of stillness swept over the room. Time seemed to stand still, and everything around them froze in suspended animation. 

Shin's mind struggled to grasp the surreal moment, unable to comprehend the mysterious power coursing through his body. 

The sensation was both electrifying and unsettling, as if the very fabric of reality had momentarily paused.

What followed after was...

"AHHHHHH-!"

Unbearable pain.

The intensity of the pain was beyond words, making him want to scream at the top of his lungs. Yet, to his dismay, not even the faintest whimper escaped his lips, trapped in a prison of silent torment.

Veins protruded from his forehead and face, accentuating the immense pressure and agony he was enduring. His expression contorted with pain, showcasing the tremendous torment he was forced to bear.

The initial agony concentrated at a single point in Shin's forehead, causing an intense throbbing sensation that felt as if his skull was being crushed. But in a matter of seconds, the pain transformed into a surge of electricity coursing through every nerve and fiber of his body. 

It was as if bolts of lightning were mercilessly striking him from within, sending shockwaves of torment rippling through his entire being

The pain that enveloped Shin was beyond comprehension, shattering his very soul. Each moment felt like an eternity of torment, as if his existence was being ripped apart at its core. 

Amidst this ordeal, faint whispers reached his ears, like ethereal echoes cutting through the chaos of suffering.

"You poor thing~ Don't worry, you'll grow accustomed to it," the whispers echoed in Shin's ears, dripping with a twisted sense of sympathy. 

Unlike his previous encounters, the sound of Elder Ros's gentle voice did not bring comfort or solace to Shin.

Instead, it amplified his pain, multiplying it by a hundredfold. Each word uttered felt like a searing hot blade, piercing through his consciousness and intensifying the torment he was already enduring.

As seconds stretched into minutes and minutes stretched into hours, Shin's senses dulled, leaving him in a state of numbness. The relentless pain, as the elder had predicted, had begun to take its toll on his body. 

It was as if his nerves were gradually adapting to the ceaseless torment, blurring the line between agony and the functioning of his own mind. With each passing moment, a disturbing dissonance resonated within Shin's brain, further unsettling his already strained consciousness.

Shin believed he had already endured the depths of hell, yet unbeknownst to him, what he had experienced thus far was merely a meager taste, a mere appetizer to the true torment that awaited him.

"Time to use the spell. Consider yourself honored, for you are the main subject of this grand experiment, conducted by none other than a Supreme Celestial." In a fleeting moment, a glimmer of madness flickered in Elder Ros's otherwise calm and gentle eyes, only to vanish in an instant.

Elder Ros, observing Shin's deteriorating state, let out a chuckle that held a hint of concern. "You alright?" he inquired, his voice laced with worry, as he gently rested his palm on Shin's trembling right shoulder.

"Wakey~ Wakey~," Ros playfully exclaimed, giving a gentle tap to Shin's forehead, as if urging him to awaken from his distressing ordeal.

Clarity flooded Shin's eyes, dispelling the haze that had clouded his vision.

Gasp!

Shin's complexion turned ghostly pale, resembling a lifeless corpse. He struggled to catch his breath, gasping for air as if he had just been revived from the brink of death.

He instinctively reached out to activate the system, only to be met with a shocking realization...

"WA...?"

"Judging by your expression, it seems your little trick didn't quite work out as planned, did it?"

"You poor soul... I can't help but feel a sense of pity for you," Elder Ros said, his voice carrying an unsettling tone that seemed to have a manipulative effect on one's mentality.

As Elder Ros's gentle voice reached Shin's ears, an inexplicable fear began to grip him tightly. His heart raced within his chest, pounding like a drum, and his throat felt constricted and parched. 

Trembling lips betrayed his attempts to speak, but no words escaped them, leaving Shin trapped in a voiceless state of terror.

"Rest for today," Elder Ros declared as he turned to leave the room. Surprisingly, Shin found a sense of calm wash over him in response to the elder's words. It was as if the weight of the torment he had endured was momentarily lifted, allowing him to breathe a little easier.

As the night wore on, Shin found himself unable to find a moment of respite. Sleep eluded him, his mind consumed by the relentless torment he had endured. The hunger that gnawed at his stomach only served to amplify his weakness.

Lying on the cold, hard floor, Shin felt each passing minute stretch into eternity. Every creak of the wooden beams, every gust of wind, seemed to mock his suffering. 

The pale moonlight filtering through the small window provided little solace, casting eerie shadows that danced around the room, adding to his sense of unease.

He tried to find comfort in the darkness, closing his eyes and willing himself to sleep. But every time he shut his eyes, vivid images of the excruciating pain flashed before him, as if they were etched into his very being. 

His body trembled with exhaustion, and yet the sleep he so desperately needed remained elusive.

Unable to eat, unable to sleep, Shin's weakened state only served to further drain his already depleted energy.
