The Author's POV

Chapter 257

Small disclaimer : Some parts of this may be disturbing for some. I'm warning you in advance. (well, although I say this, I'm not really sure how disturbing it is. But I'll put this just in case.)

Bam'”!

"khhh"

"Take your food and eat it."

Throwing the tray filled with food on the floor, Mark looked at subject 876 with disgust. Exactly two days had passed since he started to be in charge of subject 876, and although he always ate his food, he never showed any reactions to his abuse and beatings.

This annoyed Mark quite a bit. There was simply no fun in abusing someone that showed no reaction.

Even though this was supposed to be something to treat his stress, it was starting to annoy him more than actually helping him.

"Tsk, how boring."

Kicking, subject 876 on the foot, Mark decided to call it quits for today. Stepping out of the room, he smashed the door behind him.

Clank'”!

An hour passed since then.

"Huuu..."

Opening my eyes, I exhaled. At this point, the effects of Monarch's indifference had worn off and my mana was completely depleted.

Holding onto the wall, I weakly stood up. Making my way towards the toilet, I sat down. With my whole body shaking, I bit my tongue and patiently waited for my body to do its business.

'Please let this be the one...'

I repeatedly muttered inside of my head.

Plop'”!

Eventually, a splashing sound reached my ears. My eyes lit up as a result of the sound.

"khhh..."

Gritting my teeth, standing up slightly, I reached my hand downwards. Towards the bottom of the toilet. This was the third time that I had done this. The previous three trials had all ended up in failure.

Feeling a slightly mushy feeling in my hand, my stomach churned in disgust. Even so, I was not discouraged. Moving my hand around the toilet, I tried to feel anything hard.

"'”'”!"

After searching for a minute, I finally felt something hard. My eyes lit up.

Splash'”!

Removing my hand from the toilet, a black bracelet appeared in my hands.

'F-finally...'

Staring at the bracelet in my hands, I was almost unable to hold back my emotions. But, I couldn't help it.

The light had finally shone in the dark tunnel that I could see no end of. I could now hope. I could now hope for a tomorrow in this hellish place.
