“Yes, I haven’t had a chance to test out this Enslavement Rubik’s Cube as yet. Now is the perfect opportunity.” I used Big Red’s daughter as my guinea pig. By placing my left palm against her cleavage, it created a direct connection to the Rubik’s System. Without me using general force, her chest began to slowly open.

“Ah! What are you doing to me!?” I could tell by her hectic scream that she was in pain from the cavity forming in her chest. I ignored her cries and watched the procedure unfold.

“Hmm, fascinating. So this is what it looks like to open somebody’s chest with finesse.” It was a beautiful display of gore and harmony. Razi’s fleshy casing and rib caged came asunder symmetrically; in perfect alignment. I viewed her heart and lungs operating in tandem.

In the past, I was too rash and didn’t quite take the time to observe the inner dynamic of a human’s body. At that moment of observing Razi’s palpitating heart pumping blood through her bodily system, I felt like a biologist. I noticed her lungs expanding and deflating a lot quicker when she became more perplexed.

“What the hell are you doing to me? How did you open my chest like this? Just what are you, man? Are you an alien form out of space who came to take over our planet?” Razi’s ridiculous assumptions made me crack a smile. Although, she wasn’t completely off point.

Demetri, that scientific geezer mentioned something during our meeting at the warehouse about this cube in my chest being derived from an extra-terrestrial presence. Now that it was fused with my body, that could mean that I am part alien. Regardless, I am still me.

“No! No! Stop this! You’re killing me!” Razi’s heart rate spiralled out of control due to the amount of fear she was feasting on. I feared she might actually die from shock and ruined my experimentation, so I quickly equipped the Enslavement Rubik’s Cube. It popped out of my chest right into my hand.

Following the visible prompts from the interface, I carefully directed the Enslavement Rubik’s Cube toward Razi’s heart.

“No! Get that thing away from me!” She tried to resist but her mobility was securely restricted.

I told her, “Barking like a dog won’t stop me from doing this, so stop wasting your breath.”

Crackle!

The Enslavement Rubik’s Cube began to twist and separate into random building blocks. They encompassed Razi’s heart in a spiral before merging into the beating organ. The procedure was amazing to look at but for the host, I’d imagine it was very painful.

“Ah! It burns!” The moment she said this. I noticed smoke dispensing throughout her arteries, rising from her lungs and pouring out of her mouth. Her breath was hot and steamy and it smelt like burnt coal.

A couple more seconds later, her chest came back together and sealed itself, leaving not even the slightest trace of it ever being opened. The burning sensation she experienced, caused her breasts to sweat profusely. The droplets were trickling down like water on a windshield.

This alluring object in my view didn’t last long because Razi covered her melons and started running down the corridor as soon as she regained mobility.

“You perverted demon! Stay away from me!” Her feet bolted down the curling stairway. I remained where I was watching her futile attempt to escape my dominion. Her behaviour was so out of character that it caused her downfall. The descending flow of blood present on the stairway made her slip and tumble down the steps.

“Ouch!” She broke her wrist during the fall but this didn’t stop her from rushing toward the main exit.

“Silly girl.” I allowed her to run amok because my attention was occupied with familiarizing myself with the attributes of the Enslavement Rubik’s Cube functionality.

“Oh, sounds easy enough. Let me see if I can get that rowdy chick to behave.” Giving my focus to the mansion’s exit where Razi was, I took a deep breath then shouted, “Stop right there!”

Rumble!

The echoes from my abrasive voice compelled Razi to a standstill. Aside from her lips, she couldn’t move a muscle without my say-so.

“What’s happening to me?” She questioned herself.

I hopped over the balcony and approached her from behind. “You are marked by my dominion. Basically, you are now my slave.”

“No, I refused to subject myself to you!” Razi’s strong defiance enabled her to break free from my clutches. However brief it was, in that interim, she spun around with her clenched fist and tried to punch me in the face.

Ba-dump!

The sound of her heartbeat entered my conscious awareness, subsequently, she became instantly paralyzed. A message popped up which displayed--

After perusing the last message, I noticed Razi gripping her chest in pain while hollering at the top of her lungs. Her chest was glowing crimson followed by a vast discharge of smoke from her known apertures such as her nostrils, mouth, ears, even her crotch was giving off smelly vapours.

“What the fuck?” Seeing this sight surprised me. I never expected the punishment to be this severe.

When the system was done correcting the slave’s rebellious behaviour, I watched her exhaling residual smoke from her lungs while her body was excessively soaking with sweat. This reaction occurred to mitigate her hot temperatures. As a result, she lost a few pounds of flesh.

Staring up at me from where she was sitting on the dirty floor, Razi shouted, “What the fuck did you do to me?”

I told the System, “Forget it. She can spit her words however she wants.”

Razi was panting like crazy. Her dehydration level was sky-high. “You look like shit. Before you do anything foolish and caused further injury to yourself. Allow me to explain the situation you are in.”

I told her the necessary details she needed to know about the Enslavement Rubik’s Cube I installed in her chest. At any moment I could terminate her remotely if I feel she is of no more use. If she failed to heed my command, she would be punished severely by the System and ended up doing exactly what I told her to.

“As long as I’m alive, you belong to me. Got that?”

“I understand, you ruthless asshole.” She answered reluctantly and with a bit of zest.

“It’s good that you know our master-slave relationship. Now get your flat ass up and go rehydrate.” After Razi drank 2 bottles of water, I called her back to the main hall where there were dead bodies and blood everywhere.

“This mansion needs to be cleaned up, now get to it. I’m sure they are plenty of space on this property to bury the remains.”

“You can’t be serious!” Razi thought I was joking about what I said. Glancing around at the grotesque scenery, she complained, “You expect me to clean up all this mess by myself.”

“It was your arrogance that got them all killed. So the least you can do to pay homage to them is give them a proper burial.” I picked up a shovel from the pool of blood and tossed it into her hand.

“Here you go. I believe the soil is soft enough to manage with that. If you reach a tough spot just switch to the pickaxe instead. It’s better to alternate between the 2. I’m sure you can handle that much. After all, you’re an independent woman.”

“You’re serious aren’t you?” Razi inspected the shovel then glared at me with her displeased eyes. “You are a cruel man. Yes, I am independent and a beautiful young lady. But how dare you force me to do this dirty manual labour? I am not a shitty undertaker. Do you have an intense hatred for all women or something?” I ignored her question yet she persisted, “Well, answer me goddammit! Do you hate women or not?”

This brat was getting on my nerve with her annoying lip service. Gazing at her with my cold eyes, I responded, “I only ate women with my boner! Now get to work. The sun is starting to rise.”

I stepped outside the mansion to meet the rising sun with grace despite my tattered appearance. I was covered in blood and the suit I had on was filled with bullet holes.

“A smoke will do me well right now.” I felt my pockets for the pack of cigarettes. It was in ruins when I took it out, not a single cig was smokeable. Hence I made do with the natural prana.

‘Inhale… exhale…’

“It’s been a bloody rough night.”
