《Kain, The Apocalypse Overlord》Chapter 2 | Discoveries
Advertisement
Just as she tried to get her arm back from his grip and berate him, his grip on her wrist worsened to the point of making her flinch in pain.
She couldn't even try to use her other hand to release his grip on her, when he twisted her wrist down, making her lower her back and bend her knees a little, enough for him to jam his hand against her mouth and gripping it tightly, causing her thin and soft cheeks to sink in, and stopping her from speaking.
It was unreal how he could muster such strength from that kind of weak and skinny body of his, but one had to consider the constant surprise Maria was tackled with, by his actions, and his anger trampling through the pain he was undergoing, by pushing his body very, very, low limits.
The sound of something creaking could be heard in the silent hallway, the thing was it wasn't coming from Maria, but Kain instead. It was his fragile and thin bones producing such horrific sounds, that were stunning Maria even more than she already was, because of seeing Kain' face not changing expressions even under, what she could assume, was a great deal of pain.
He didn't care if he would die right then and there, he had enough in one lifetime of abuse to understand that self-respect is something fundamental to have.
Kain: You better behave you whore, otherwise I might just rape you right here right now ….aiiii.... now I have to deal with whores.
Pushing Maria away, while releasing his hold on her, Kain sighed before walking past her.
Ignoring the doors throughout the long hallway, he was in, together with Maria, he continued to make his way 'forward'.
Meanwhile, behind him, stood Maria frozen in her place. She couldn't even react to his harsh words and abnormal behaviour. One thing she was sure of. This wasn't the Kain she knew. A drastic change like this doesn't happen overnight. Right?
His eyes no longer held a broken spirit but firm one instead, completely different from before.
Kain: ".... now with that out of the way. What was----"
Unfortunately for Kain, in front of him was the entrance of the house, where his father was waiting together with Maria' two daughters, Laura and Amy.
Kain: "Amy and Laura..."
???(Father): You are finally here! Where the hell is your sister!?
Kain: I think that she will take a while.
???(Father): grrr... fuck! Fuck this shit! You can walk to school then! I am leaving!
Storming out in fury, he took out a cigar, of his favorite brand, from his black suit' chest pocket and lit it up with a black lighter. Sucking hard on the cigar' butt, he stepped into his black SUV and drove away.
Kain was the next one to leave the house, but not before sweeping his gaze through his stepsisters while praising them in his mind for inheriting Maria's genes, since both of them were rather voluptuous, too much in fact, considering their age.
The problem was that he had to handle his, new, abusive father and bullies at school.
Putting that to the side for now, he remembered what caused him to be distracted and bump against Maria.
Kain: "Profile?"
In the lower-right corner of his vision, a small black box with white letters, spelling 'Profile', was continuously pulsating like a heart.
Kain: "Interesting....Maria Profile."

Maria Deusa
35
1.83m / 93kg
Maria is a woman in an unhappy marriage with only the goal of sending her daughters to college. She loves to read and that people would praise her for her brains and personality rather than her body. She works as one of the scientists at Otto Labs, where she is currently facing some difficulties. She only loved one man in her entire life, with that being the father of her two daughters, who abandoned her and daughters to pursue his dreams. Raising her daughters all by herself with no support and constantly being viewed like an object by men, caused her to hold great hatred against every man. She finds it difficult to control herself back, because of her thirst.

Hates you?

He was so overwhelmed by the amount of information from the panel, that he froze in his place while looking blankly forward.
Kain: …. ".... well..... this is something else entirely... 35? That is rather young.... if I am not wrong, both of her daughters are older than 17... then she must have had Laura around at.... nice."
Breathing and massaging his head to help ease the headache, he was having from reading and processing everything, he continued making his way towards school.
Kain: "Hmmm.... it seems that it doesn't form a Profile on everyone I lay my eyes upon, which is good in a way since I wouldn't be able to process and handle the bundle of information for each person. I should give a quick look over the rest of the Profiles I collected, but I should do it when I have the time."
cling
Kain: Huh?
Inside the school building, he was about to go up the stairs, towards the second floor, when a sudden sound, seemingly like that of a doorbell, rung pulling him out of his trance state.
Looking around in wonder, he saw that no one else had heard anything. He couldn't even ignore it and continue his way up, when it rang again.
cling
This time more prepared, he immediately turned towards where he felt the sound was coming, he was surprised to see that it was from the principal's office.
Descending and standing next to the door of the principal's office, he noticed the sound increasing in tempo.
Kain: "What the fuck is that?"
Squinting his eyes while leaning against the wall, next to the door of the principal office, he was contemplating how to get in, to discover what the fuck was causing such noise, that it seemed he was the only one able to hear.
Just as he was reaching a dead end, the door of the principal office opened up with the man himself stepping out in grandeur.
He didn't care even when the principal was looking at him like he was some kind of weirdo, as he peeked inside the office and found a scorching golden question mark floating in the middle of the principal's desk.

1/7 Locations Found

Kain was so absorbed by the shit happening before his eyes, that he failed to see the principal fuming in pure anger at being ignored, and the other students looking at him and the man in charge like it was some kind of play.
[9:01 AM, Monday]
BRRRRR
Kain: "Little fucker just had to put me in detention.... and just now did the classes begin.... at least I get some time to refresh and relax my mind."
Lifting his head from his desk and looking up at the clock, sitting up high in the farthest wall, Kain rubbed his eyes while leaning back on his chair.
Unknowingly to the assistant teacher, sitting at the desk of the detention room, numerous panels were laying in front of Kain' eyes, following his sight, as such that when he laid down his head on his crossed arms, above the desk, while looking to the right, they were there.

Sarah Mightlay
17
1.68m / 79kg
Daughter of Jack Mightlay, and your sister, Sarah is a very sociable person, with most of people liking her. Although that is the case, she is rather conservative in interacting with men, causing her to bear the image of an Ice Queen. She cares about you lot as she found only comfort and safety by your side, because of your father abuses and your mother being dead.

Loves you deeply, as her brother.
0000000000
Kain: "Interesting.... very.... very interesting.... I am going to torture him, before killing that fucker"
His eyes flashed with coldness for a short moment, before returning to normal, as he continued reading the remaining profiles he had, while constantly thinking of ways to inflict as much pain possible on the fucker, his father, who was the main culprit behind the pain and suffering, of the previous host, of his body.

Laura Deusa
20
1.80m / 75kg
Laura is an introverted girl with difficulty in talking with others, especially when it comes with her tastes. She didn't go to college like her mother wanted, and spends most of her time in her room, causing her mother to be disappointed in her. She loves comic books, manga, anime, cosplay and hentai. She never had any sexual experience in her life, besides a kiss when she was just a kid, in 5th grade. Since then, she no longer feels safe, or well, when next to men, except for you, after catching you bathing with countless wounds all over your body.
Likes you as her stepbrother, and pities you for the harsh treatment you suffer.
0000000000
Kain: "... a gorgeous nerd that received no compassion from both her family or friends.... Wait. 20? Then.... Maria must have had her when she was....15?"
His eyes bulged for a short moment at his discovery, he previously thought of her having Laura around 17, but not 15. That is pretty young to have a child.
Shaking his head, a little, to disperse those thoughts, he look over to Maria's other daughter' profile, Amy.
0000000000
Amy Deusa
19
1.79m / 68kg
Amy is the youngest of Maria. She is considered, even by her mother and sister, to be a bitch. She is in her third year of high-school, but she is most likely to fail and get held back again. Even though that is her situation, she usually spends her time in parties and hanging around with her friends, smoking, drinking, even doing drugs. She despises, to the point of hate, her mother, because of her separation, divorce, with her father, she views it as Maria abandoning her father because of Jack's money.
Doesn't like you, but pities your situation.

Kain: …. jesus maria... how.... i don't want to call you slut... but...
???(Assistant Teacher): What did you say?
Hearing the assistant teacher, Kain lifted his head slowly while looking at her blankly.
Kain: Nothing teach. Just thinking somethiings out loud. "Should watch my mouth more carefully from now on, otherwise I could end up say too much."
Stretching his arms and back, with clear laziness, he laid back on his desk again.
Kain: "Now... why don't I have a profile of the cunt?"
Closing all of the panels with a command through his mind, he redirected his attention to another problem.
Kain: "Now about those Hidden Locations.... what could it be about? If I could only enter that office, then I could.... wait.... I could just do that. Hehehe" Teach.
???(Assistant Teacher): What?
At his call, the assistant teacher lifted her head up from the book, she was reading, and looked at Kain, with clear signs of being annoyed.
Kain: I need to drop a deuce.
???(Assistant Teacher): What kind of language is that!? Just go.
The assistant teacher was about to lash out and berate Kain, before she stopped herself and seemingly thought of something that caused her expression to crank a little. Getting back to her book, she simply waved her hand off at him.
Kain: "What was that about?"
Kain getting up from his chair thought about the whole set of expressions the assistant teacher just went through.
Kain: "Something tells me that it must be related with the cunt."
Reaching the door of the men' bathroom, he began smirking.
Kain: "Let's see how he likes the floor wet."
[3 min later]
knock knock
Kain: Yo princ. the whole men's bathroom is flooding with water, shit and piss, and it's beginning to seep into the hallway.
Kain, that was standing outside of the principal' office, opened the door while knocking on it, as he spoked towards the frowning principal sitting at his desk.
???(Principal): You little---
The principal couldn't finish what he wanted to say, as the door burst open with one of the school staff rushing inside, while pushing Kain to the side, at the same time.
???(School Staff): Sir! The men bathroom is flooding.
???(Principal): WHAT!?!
The two of them completely ignored Kain and rushed out of the office to the men's bathroom, while Kain slowly stood up smiling.
Kain: "So easy. I knew the fuckface wouldn't believe me, so I just had to wait for someone to pass by before flooding the bathroom. Now.... let's get to work."
Kain knew that there were other ways of doing what he did, even completely different ones where it wouldn't lead back to him, but he just wanted to fuck with the principal. The reason why? He put him in detention. Simple as that.
Standing in front of the scorching golden question mark, Kain was mesmerized by the sight of it as he extended his hand to touch it.

Hidden Locations – Dungeon
The Beginning
Do you want to enter? (3/3)
Yes/No
0000000000
Kain stood momentarily stunned at the sight of a new panel overlapping the previous one of the Hidden Locations, as he retrieved his hand and looked back at the open door of the principal office.
Kain: "A dungeon? Like the ones in games? If so, then it doesn't matter that it's 'The Beginning', I would die. Preparations are a most in order to ensure my survival above all else."
Walking back and glancing out of the door to see if there was anyone nearby, he walked out aiming to return to the detention room.
Kain: "The whole dungeon could end up be just the sea.... a swamp with lingering poison.... a volcano.... there is just too much scenarios where I would die without being able to do anything." aiiii
Sighing, while shaking his head at the fact that he had nothing to go by, he picked up his backpack before walking out of the detention room. It was a smooth transition since the assistant teacher wasn't there anymore.
Kain: "It's just a matter of time before they link everything together and come after me."
Just as Kain predicted, short moments after he left the detention room, the principal was returning to his office together with the assistant teacher, that was previously keeping an eye on Kain in detention room, and the school staff, that went earlier with the principal to the men' bathroom.
The principal was the one thinking things through the whole way, back to his office, but whenever he thought that the main culprit the evidences were pointing at, he couldn't just come around it. He had known Kain for years now, and he knew that he wasn't that kind of kid.
His doubts vanished into thin air upon not finding Kain through the school, he had magically disappeared. The principal was fuming and murmuring curses while the other two were a little taken back by what had just happened.
Meanwhile, Kain reached his house by the time the three-man operation gave up.
Kain: "This should do."
Crouching down near the garden in front of his house, he grabbed on a patch of dirt and grass, and began rubbing it all over his body.
Kain: "The cunt is out, big-ass at school, bitch stressing on work and the failure fucking around. Leaving a single adorable sheep alone. Laura"
Breathing a little to prepare himself, he made his way, quietly, to the second floor of his 'home'.
creeeerk
Standing in front of the door, that led to Laura' bedroom, he slowly pressed the wooden board down, hard, causing it to creak a little, a sound that would have gone unnoticed if it weren't for the dead silence through the entire mansion.
Expecting Laura to open her door at any moment now, he stood frozen in place lowering his gaze to the floor, and his whole body trembling.
Laura: Huh? Who is i--- Kain? What are you--- What is wrong with---- Who did this!?
Right on the money, Laura slowly opened her door to see who it was, until she saw the sad figure of Kain.
She had been reading a manga book on her bed, when she heard the sound of wood creaking out of her bedroom. She initially thought that it was her mother, as it was becoming more and more regular these past days, that she would find her coming home early and drink in her bedroom while silently crying.
It was something that she couldn't grew used to no matter what. Even after the indifference and cold treatment her mother gave after her life choices, mostly not choosing to go to college, she still loved her from the bottom of her heart. The problem...was.... that she didn't have the courage, or know what to say to her mother in this kind of situations.
It wasn't just her mother. There were also a few times that her sister came home and spent the whole day in her bedroom, doing, what she could guess, to be absolutely nothing.
Returning back to the situation at hand, expecting any of the two of them, the presence of Kain completely caught her off-guard, especially his appearance. It was something so shocking that she couldn't think properly for a few moments. He was filthy with dirt and grass all over his body, messy hair and crying, which worsened the image she already had of him, of pity.
Kain: I-it's n-nothing. I just w-wanted to c-come home.
Laura felt a stabbing pain in her heart when Kain looked up from the floor at her, his face was the worst part of it all. The tears filling those scared eyes.... she didn't know what to say or do.
She had suffered bullying as well when she was in school, ever since they learned of her 'abnormal' tastes of Anime, Manga & Comic. But never like this. This was too much.
