《Real Fake World》39
Advertisement
Christopher was drying in a dark cell, chained to the wall as a cloaked person approached.
"The decision is out, the Cross Martyrs have decided to accept you and enlighten you in the meaning of life"
He said, he could see a smile on the person's face as the torch shined over his chin.
What Christopher however hadn't thought about was that the training begun right the next day, in that dark cell, a painful torture begun as they ripped his skin, burned his flesh, rubbed salt at his wounds and many other despicable things.
The explanation for their actions was rather simple, they were teaching him how real this world could be, only if he valued life would they let him join as an initiate, normaly this wasn't needed, but since he had the crazy idea that this world wasn't real, which non in the cult approved of.
Christopher was tortured, depraved of food and sleep, but surprisingly his belief that the world was fake didn't change until one fateful night.
The many months of captivity had left him with a dead face, the cultists wouldn't kill him, since if he died he would no doubt be resurrected, making all their work go to waste.
The one whom entered this time was a woman, her face was that of an angel, or at least to his eyes, since he had once more fallen in love or at least attracted to her.
He didn't know why, but she was probably simply his type, a voice that sounded like a flute tune, a face that looked rather common on first glance but had nothing to fret about, hands that were rather small and delicate and long legs that were outlined by her robe.
Of course she wasn't happy to see him greeting her with hi dick in attention, but that would change in the following month, or so she thought.
She had already read his case, the bastard seemed to have gained some perverted evolved toughness skill that neutralized pain while turning it into pleasure instead, called Masochism, making their people's work even more difficult than it should be.
Three days afterwards she was through with physical torture, it was completely ineffective against his perverted skill, the thing however she wanted to destroy most was his dick, that didn't say to fall.
She had thought of crushing it, making him disabled or even cutting fingers or something, but she knew that it was probably pointless, since they would need to heal him afterwards, meaning that it would make their work pointless, after all what's the great threat to life if you could simply regrow missing limbs, also she was told to not go too far, if they created some irreversible damage to him, there was a huge chance that he would simply become an enemy instead of an ally, this was simply teaching him a lesson.
Her name was Melodie and she was a music teacher in a small town, she was a member of the Cross Martyrs, she helped conceal members of the cult in her house and even fed them and gave monetary offerings to the cult.
Of course kindness and love are not their creed, their creed is saving their fellow worshipers and giving their lives for them if need be.
Melodie was a third generation cultist, beginning with her grandparents whom worshiped the cross of self-sucrifice, they then initiated their children and they theirs, meaning her.
This was the main way such cults grew larger, they were like germs that multiplied as time passed by, by now there were tons of cultists hiding all over the Axis world.

"So is our world real enough for you yet?"
She asked him as she stood a fair distance from his beaten up body.
"Not really, this can all be healed with a single spell, even if you cut my head off I'm sure there are spells to regrow it somewhere"
His words made her so mad that she went on another of her famous fits with the whip, for some reason these cultists liked very much to whip people, or so he thought.
When the month passed and her turn to torture him had come to an end, the next person was sent over as she stayed for a bit to chat with the others.
"That damn pervert, can't we just cut that dick of his, maybe he will become docile like a puppy"
Melodie said, making the others laugh.
"What's so great about that, I had even poked his eyes a few times, just with my fingers a few times, but he didn't even cry in pain, that pervert simply enjoys pain"
Another one stated, rather irritated, this was the first time they had encountered a person like that, not like torturing was a must or something in their cult, in truth it wasn't even the Cross Martyrs' specialty, but since he would be joining them they didn't want to give the other groups the chance to win him over.
"I really hope I'm not put in charge of him again, has any of you noticed that when you leave him alone he will begin talking with himself?"
Another one of them said, his voice sounded as if he believed that Christopher was insane and might even be dangerous.
"An the way his penis rises every time I enter we disgusting"
Melodie said, making the others look at her strangely.
"Why are you staring at me, does he only do that to me?"
When she asked she begun to become even more angry, you have to understand that there were two other females in the group, but they didn't suffer the same disgusting experience as her.
"Maybe you're just his type"
A guy from their group said.
"Well maybe if you didn't wear such a tight robe?"
A female said looking at her with a sense of disdain, thinking that she was showing off, for some unknown reason.
"Wait, what if we try to persuade him through other means other than torture, maybe he's afraid of spiders, or might even simply be ignorant of our world's history, lets begin to broaden this ignorant fool's horizons"
One whom acted as if he was the smartest one spoke up, in truth all of them were either teachers or scholars in their daily lives, thus they could not understand how one could enjoy pain, they didn't understand the excitement some people gain when they experience pain.
Of course Sadism and masochism were creations of a more modernized culture, than the middle ages, the only two countries in Axis that might recognise them as something other than perverted attitude were of course Runia, where they have slaves to torture and Eolia, where people are simply bored to death, since they are immortal and have all the time and money in the world at their disposition.
Of course sexual preferences are still thought as perversions, but they don't really care about such things, considering them not important or a way to gain favour with someone, sort of visible weaknesses.
The next day there was no torture for Christopher, but the higher ups were having a large discusion on his matter, there were three cults that wanted him as he was, they didn't care if he even betrayed them, in truth they even hoped for that to happen.

There were however even more whom wanted to simply braiwash him, making him a breeding machine, after all heroes could give birth to heroic classes.
Lastly was the Cross Martyrs whom seriously didn't care, they wanted to initiate the hero as their own, thus making him a heavy shield for the cults.
In the end they were given an ultimatum by the other guilds, they only had 30days to initiate him or he would be passed for breeding purposes. The Cross Martyrs cultists were rather devestated when they heard that they only had 30days to make him believe that the world of Axis was real, teach him the signals and doctrines, perform the initiation ritual and lastly set him at some post that would use all the possibilities of his heroic class, like some nobleman or general or even a bandit chief.
---------------------------------------------------------
At the Orkish boarders there were two Clans that had begun to fight one another, they were of course the Perverted tentacle Clan and the Loud Giant Clan.
In the past few months the Perverted tentacle clan had become bigger and had begun to expand, but surprisingly it wasn't them whom begun this fight.
The Loud Giant Clan felt threatened by their neighbors and begun trying to suppress them, resulting in a clan war.
The leader of the Loud Giant Clan of course was Georgia, a summoned heroine and she wouldn't let her own Clan be destroyed just because a few idiots from her own clan tried to act tough, she knew full well that the Pervert Tentacle Clan wasn't something weak.
Thus she decided to go to the tentacle Clan and have a talk with their leader Alexi, after all they were both summoned students from the same world.
First of all however there needs to be an explanation why here Giants were at a loss. Orks like all Greenskin only need one week for a baby to become a kid, three months for it to become a youth and a year for it to become an adult. Of course a baby and a kid are worthless in war, but an ork youth was already battleworthy, the problem however was that while the giant clan only had around ten kids, the tentacle had more than a hundred, meaning that once they reach adulthood, there was no saving the Giant Clan, they simply didn't have the luxury to wait for the youths of the neighboring clan to grow up, thus a few adults from the giant clan killed a few.
Generaly speaking this wasn't exactly some crime in the Orkish society, in truth only 1/10 would in the end become an adult, since the youths would be sent to hunt on their own and only the strongest would survive.
The youths didn't however have the totem's power yet, meaning that it was easy for an adult to crush them.
The problem however occured after the first death being reported, since the Pervert Tentacle Clan hunted in groups, while the Loud Giant Clan hunted solo, it was rather easy for the Tentacle clan to kill one Giant hunter.
The Giant Clan however had another advantage, they had more food than the Tentacle Clan, since their hunters could hunt solo what the Tentacle needed a group for hunting, thus the Tentacle Clan begun to prey on hunters whom were returning from a successful hunt.
Of course there were also losses amongst the Tentacle Clan's adults, but they were simply too many and even their youths were helping them out in these battles, mostly dying a meaningless death.
Of course Georgia didn't instantly go for negotiations when she heard the report due to her advisor, the totem guardian Melkh, whom assured her that it was nothing serious and that she should continue hunting and leveling up.
Once she had hit level 100, she gained a second cheat power, since she had raised her strength to 100.
Georgia was a warrior and her cheat power was the indestructible hummer, but her new ability was to change the weight of the hummer on will.
She could make it as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain, meaning that it was instant K.O. for anyone if the hummer was placed on their body, only problem was that she had to hold onto the hummer to change its weight and if she summoned in it would revert to regular weight, the greatest however disadvantage was that she couldn't lift it if its weight was too great, thus she had to only make it heavy on impact, unless she wanted to lose her arm at the same time, since the handle too gained extra weight, of course the most failed experiment was trying to throw it, gravity simply didn't let it fly more than a few centimeters, the moment she released it it would fall and sink into the ground, the most however funny skill was the zero weight, or rather negtive weight hummer, she could simply fly as if she was holding a balloon if she made it super light, the problem however was that she would suffer from falling from high height and she could not control where she would fly, it only went upwards, of course as her physique increased the danger of dying from the freefall decreased, but she still wouldn't make the hummer heavier and fall with it since it would fall at a speed supperior to what she could endure.
Once she returned however from the hunting expedition, she discovered that her Clan was devestated, the only one still healthy was the guardian Melkh saying.
"They were all weaklings they deserved to die"
You can understand now why Georgia was forced to go meet with Alexi, but did he want to meet with her, that was a matter she hadn't considered, disregarding Melkh's disagreements, she foolishly went towards the Tentacle Clan alone and was easily captured by the sentries, of course she let them catch her since she wanted to speak with their leader.
What however she discovered was that Alexi too had reached level 100, he however unknown of course to her reached it by killing babies.
In reality the Perverted Tentacle Clan had simply too many offsprings and because he discovered that the parents simply killed the ones they didn't like, due to common class or some strange class like farmer or scholar, thus he came with the idea that those children had to be given to him, he would then decide their futures, those that were craftsmen he would sacrifice to himself, while those whom were laborers, like miners, woodcutters and other strange classes he would let grow, the reason for this was simple, first of all his village was too small, thus he needed workers to cut wood and mine ore, them he called Peons, from the warcraft game, since they would specialized at working and would be the lower class, next there was the females, they had a rather strange position in their Clan, females were highly protected but also disrespected, for example anyone whom killed a female other than himself was to have his reproductive organ cut, females however were forced to only breed, they had no other responsibilities or rights, of course he didn't mind if the kids were commoners as said before, even common offsprings were usefull as sucrifices and of course the dead offsprings were used as bait for beasts or as emergency food, in the worst possible situation.
Georgia was locked in a cell, nearby she could see another two female orks from her Clan, they were completely naked and looked exhausted.
"Oh if it isn't Georgia, I heard that you were caught at the gate to our village, I would really like to know why you came, I thought that you didn't care about your Clan since you didn't even allow my messanger to enter yours"
His words made her rather surprised, she had heard of no messanger, her days started with hunting and ended with returning and sleeping, she had no interractions with the others, it could be easily said that she was simply another ork in their midst, the weakest quarter ork in their midst.
Alexi however was different, he was as strong as a common ork adult if not stronger, since he put all his stats on strength, the problem was that he was a Scout, meaning that he didn't gain an additional cheat power like she had.
Of course if one looked at their physique stat it wasn't so far apart, she had 110 physique and he had 114 physique, the problem was the ork's traits which gave a monstrous x7 to strength, meaning that Alexi had a monstrous 798strength, of course he couldn't control it and neither he cared about controlling it, after all he wouldn't be fucking ugly orks any day soon.
Georgia however was an entirely different case, she might be green and lack feminine charm, but she was still a normal looking woman, even more she was from his own world, it was a perverted fantasy of his to fuck all the girls from his class and the others as well.
When Georgia saw his perv smile, she instantly summoned her hummer, crushing the cage made of Goluk Ore, the strongest antimagic ore.
What followed however was Alexi lifting the now heavy hummer as if it was a light toy. Well something that was heavy for her wasn't the same for him, he was an ork after all, not a petty human.
His next however action as she summoned the hummer back to her hands made her shocked as a giant octapus appeared around him, unlike her whom had put most of her skill points in dodging, he had invested most of them into Totem magic, he could now summon small octapuses, transform into an octapus monster and lastly even summon the giant octapus.
Of course the effectiveness of his giant octapus was zero, he couldn't even catch up to her since she could dodge anything he threw at her. It was like having a pistol that shot only blanks, he of course had wanted to make her give up, but their fighting experiences were so far away that it was evident.
He hadn't hunted a single monster, simply killing defenseless children, while she had gained her level through stenuous hunting and risking her own life in the process.
Of course their most important difference was their class, as a warrior it was evident that she would be able to hunt, he however didn't want to be a scout, even though he spent 9points in eagle eye, but that he did to because he was a myopic, thus getting rid of his glasses forever.
Of course even though his strength was greater than hers, his reflexes were weaker than hers, whom had the martial arts skill, even though she hadn't leveled it up at all, even at the basic value of 1, it still made it difficult for him to catch her.
Of course endurance has its limits and the first to get tired was not every surprisingly Georgia, her physique was after all weaker than his, of course she could have escaped rather easily if she didn't want to show off.
In truth although both of them were so different, they both wanted to show off their newfound strength, maybe Alexi wouldn't even touch her and in truth he didn't.
Even if he was called a pervert, he was not exactly some maniac whom would rape a girl, simply because he could and although he would have loved to, he had to prepare for the future, after all at some point they would have been sent back to the real world, just imagine what she would have told the others if he dared to rape her, but that didn't stop the tentacles from constricting her in a weird pose.
"Now we can negotiate"
Alexi said with a smile on his face, his green junk being fully erected as he saw her struggling.
She could easily rip the strange dark tentacles apart, but new ones would take their place, making it impossible for her to escape, all she did was making her pose even more prepostrous.
"Do you give up your totem and Clan?"
Alexi asked, trying to resist the urge to do her in.
"Do you think that you can hide your perverted thoughts by asking irrelevant questions?"
Georgia said making him look bad, but the next second the tentacles simply disappeared, making her even more vigillant against him.
"Your Clan attacked my Clan first, because they feared for their future, you are the worst leader they could have had, lets end this pointless war, just surrender"
His words made her shocked, she didn't understand howe the pervert at the moment seemed a better leader than she was, but it was a fact that his Clan would win this war, even if she did her best, she had no way of saving her Clan members.
Georgia led him and some other Tentacle warriors to give up her own totem, it was after all useless to her, she couldn't even lift it and it only reduced her hunting range, since she couldn't use the totem's power when she was too far away from it.
When they reached the totem and she said she gave it up, she was shocked by what Alexi did, he killed Melkh, the totem guardian, while he had kneeled in front of him.
He then took the totem and begun to walk back to his own camp, she of course didn't know that Ukh, Alexi's totem guardian was long dead, because of giving stupid advices.
"Aren't you coming?"
Alexi asked her as he moved away from her half deserted camp, leaving her dumpfounded.
"Why did you kill him?"
She asked her voice distressed, not understandin anything that had just happened.
"Didn't you know one can only take a totem that has no guardian, you cannot even touch the totem if its guardian is still alive"
He said as if it was common knowledge, well it was, for orks.
"Wait, what will happen with the others?"
She asked distressed, seeing that the orks he had brought hadn't followed him back.
"Well the useful ones will be spared, the useless killed, that's the way of the orks"
He said as if it was a normal thing to occure.
"You tricked me!"
She shouted as to her mind it all sounded like a conspiracy to kill her totem guardian.
"Let me ask you, how long do you think your clan would last if you hadn't given up and how many of your orks would have survived otherwise?"
Alexi's question made Georgia stunned, she hadn't thought at all about that matter, she already knew that there was no ablebodied hunter in her clan, meaning that they would have either died by the enemy or from starvation.
"Then what else have you hidden from me?"
Georgia asked, she didn't want more surprises.
"Well you are know considered a subordinate of my Clan, thus your totem power will change and also we can now create a Guardian totem, a totem much stronger than the beast totem we had before, of course we will need ten guardian totems to create the Self Totem and a hundred of them to create the Personal Totem, which hasn't seen the face of Axis in hundreds of years, even the warchief doesn't have a Personal Totem, although she has more than enough for her Self Totem"
Alexi said with a face saying that he didn't give a shit about her, but looked into the far future.
"By the way, I would recomend you not summon the tentacle thingy, they tend to attack only women"
After he said that Georgia could hold but call him a pervert.
