[A/N: I would like to know whether my grammar and English have improved or if there are still issues. Some reviews have mentioned this, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know if further improvement is needed.

I have also added the Discord link in the synopsis and Auxiliary chapter.]

Kayden R's POV

"B.E.G"

Those three letters resonated in my mind, sending shivers down my spine like a recurring nightmare that refused to let go.

Just a few days ago, my father and I were summoned to the royal castle. The news that awaited us was grim...?

King Carter revealed that his own brother had been killed, and he pointed the accusatory finger at Asher Eli.

The mere mention of Eli's name stirred annoyance within me. I recalled the Dungeon Walker incident when I decided to use my teleportation spell to escape..... there was nothing wrong with that, right?

I mean, Who would willingly sacrifice themselves for a monstrous entity from the past? I made a choice, but.... my father didn't think that was the right choice!!

I was expected to face that fucking colossal creature, risking my ass off to protect my teammates like some heroic figure.

Fuck that!!

Fight that monstrosity? I'd rather face my own father.

Protect my teammates?

Fuck that!!

My life held far more value than any of the other shitty asses.

My father, That fucking idiot only knew how to put on the ass of his in front of me....

Why not take my place and confront that creature? I wanted to shout at him, but I knew he'd already been beaten to a pulp.

Anyway,

Then, King Carter presented a proposition. He saw an opportunity to use my duel with Asher Eli to subdue him who was messing around and, to put him in his rightful place.

Actually, The idea appealed to me, given my existing resentment towards Eli. With King Carter's assistance, I hoped to emerge victorious in the duel.

He helped me reach the domain realm and even organized everything like recorded video, speech and all...

"As long as you defeat him, I will guarantee your future succession over the Duchy and will have you adopted into the Royal household"

That was what Carter promised.

As long as I defeated Asher Eli, my future was set. What's more, being adopted meant I might be able to ascend to the throne as a king.... of course, after assassinating his waste pretty son.

Today was meant to mark my debut as a future Duke and royalty. Yet...

"Hero of Theos Kingdom"

Once again, that emotionless voice echoed in my ears.

Lifting my head, I tried to glare at the man who had become the source of indescribable pain throughout my body. Your story continues on m_vl_em_p_yr

M-My tongue, My cheeks, M-My limbs.... Everything was broken. The pain and anguish were a result of his actions.

"Come on, Hero... Don't you want this?" The bastard taunted, tapping a bottle with his foot.

T-Those eyes!!

The same eyes that had regarded me as nothing more than a nobody.

"AARRRRHHH!" I attempted to shout, but only a pained voice escaped my mouth.

'M-My cheeks!!!' I inwardly screamed as an unsettling twitching sensation intensified beneath my skin.

Involuntarily, my facial muscles started to exhibit erratic movements...

My eyes twitched, lips trembled... as an eerie sensation crawled beneath my skin.

"aaarrrhhhhh!!"

'Som-Something inside my skin!!!' I desperately screamed within myself.

N-No, No way it was due to being a mere blood clot.

I-I wanted.... A-An urge to scratch and peel off my own skin overwhelmed me, but I found myself unable to act on it.

H-he put something in my cheeks!! What is it!!

Panic and pain gripped me as I desperately tried to comprehend the torment inflicted upon me.

With wincing pain, I shifted my gaze towards the perpetrato--

H-He looked at me with an interesting face as if I were nothing more than an experimental subject.

Third Person's POV

Asher Eli observed Kayden's contorted face and thought, 'Looks like the micro-worms are working faster than I expected...'

Yes, Eli had said 'Revenge', right?

Thus, Asher Eli wasn't about to let the man who tormented him during their first encounter escape unscathed..... Despite the unexpected turn of events, Eli had meticulously planned for every contingency, unveiling a horrific scheme to ensure Kayden's suffering.

He intended to exact revenge that would etch his memory into Kayden's nightmares..... He was going to carve his face inside Kayden's heart.

When Asher Eli slapped Kayden, he surreptitiously introduced small micro-worms, originally intended for seed research.....

'It seems I can achieve more than I initially planned for seed projects..... ah,' Eli noted inwardly. He made a mental note to later instruct Alysia and Scarlett on the important plan.

He was currently broke (Not entirely), so he needs to step up his strategies.... aiming to at least convert the negative 'C' into at least Zero.

"aarrhhh!"

The pained cry pulled Eli from his contemplations, directing his attention back to Kayden, who was undergoing torment on the inside.

With a haughty expression, Eli remarked, "You know, this High-Level Healing potion should help you now and... eliminate any kind of 'foreign' objects".

"AArrhh-aahhrr--aairrrr--"

"What is it?" Eli raised an eyebrow as he observed Kayden attempting to convey something, wearing an amused smile.

"aarrhh-aaaa-ooaaa-"

".... You rather die than beg?" Eli expressed mock astonishment as if he found it hard to believe the words that escaped Kayden's tortured lips.

'Fuck you, bastard!!!' Kayden screamed inwardly. Even though he despised being looked down upon, the pain in his face was escalating exponentially. Faced with Eli's insinuations, Kayden found himself with no choice but to swallow his pride and ask for help.

"WOW! What a man!... Hero!" Eli mumbled, though he amplified his voice to ensure others heard.

People from Theos Kingdom remained oblivious to the actual truth. Even the most formidable entities were in the dark.

Lilith, though exceptionally powerful, found herself taken aback by Eli's unexpected trickery, executed with seamless naturalness...

'What did he do exactly?...' She wondered.... her husband was making it hard for her to recognize him as he showed lots of unexpected things.

There were lots of surprises today for everyone....

While delivering the slaps, the tiny worms beneath Eli's nails, strategically placed for this purpose, effortlessly attached themselves to Kayden's flesh.

Anyway, observing the idiotic audience who was touched by Kayden's prideful stand, Eli couldn't resist smirking.

"M-My Hero!!"

"P-Please!!!"

"YOU BASTARD, LET HIM GO!!"

"Who do you think you are??"

"Yes, You cannot even compare to our Hero's foot!!"

"FUCKING BAST--!!"

"But he doesn't have a foot, though?" Eli interjected, cutting through their vitriolic outbursts.

"Pfft--"

Ignoring the suppressed laughter, Eli directed his gaze at the audience, "Who do you think you are? Ah...." Eli's voice sent shivers down everyone's spine.

'It seems they still have guts...' he mused. Eli took the healing potion, and a hush fell over the crowd as they thought, 'Did he regret his actions?'.

But,

"TTTRRRRRGGG!"

'Gasp'

The collective gasp echoed through the audience as Eli shattered the bottle on his foot.....

'That was a huge amount!!' They screamed inwardly. Buying a high-level healing potion was so expensive that a noble could purchase a house, while a commoner could sustain themselves for their entire life.... Entire life, You know.

'Drip, Drip'

"It seems your hero is hesitating to beg...." Eli commented casually, placing his foot carefully on the puddle-forming area.

The golden liquid dripped from Eli's foot. With an indifferent face, Eli remarked,

"I cannot even compare to your Hero's foot, right?"

"...."

"Hmm...." Eli nodded, taking their silence as an answer, and beckoned his fingers.

"Hu--?" Kayden, who was a little distance away, suddenly moved toward Eli and landed just a few inches away from Eli's foot.

"Who do I think I was, right?" Eli asked again, and yet again, the audience remained silent, fear and worry settling in their hearts.

"Hmmm... Since I am impressed by your resilience and Heroic spirit....

I think I... am worthy enough to let a HERO OF THEOS KINGDOM lick my shoe!!"

Eli declared with emotionless eyes, looking at Kayden, and commanded,

"Now, L.I.C.K. Hero"

The faces of the people from Theos Kingdom turned red with shame and embarrassment as if they were the ones being subjected to the humiliation.

Kayden's face contorted with hatred as he glared at Asher Eli, silently protesting, 'Hell, NO!!' Yet,

"aarrhh, oohhh!!".... when he attempted to voice his defiance, all that emerged was a pained whimper.

"S-Stop this instant!!" Carter, who had silently observed until now, suddenly turned furious seeing this humiliation.

Hurting and defeating their hero was one thing, but making the Hero of Theos Kingdom beg and lick.... it was direct humiliation to the Kingdom and the King.

Leaning on his knuckles, Eli glanced at Carter and asked, "Why?"

"B-Because..." Carter initially stuttered, and then continued, "This is a duel, so fight instead of doing something degrading like a low life!!

Is this how Vampire Queen's Toy should act? You are stooping too low!!"

"Huh?" Eli shot Carter a disdainful look as if Carter were an idiot, 'I will deal with him later'.

Ignoring the bewildered idiot, Eli turned his attention to Kayden, who adamantly refused to yield to the degrading demand, He would rather die than do it, especially to Asher Eli, a mere commoner.

Leaning toward Kayden, Eli whispered,

"You know, those things inside your face, can able to penetrate the skull...."

"H-Huh?" The revelation struck Kayden like a bolt of lightning, freezing him for a moment.

Eli, taking advantage of the stunned silence, continued,

"Penetrating the skull..... Creating a sensation far worse than the pain you're experiencing now, and even more horrifying, it involves eating the brain while you are alive.....

T-That's terrible!!" Eli mimicked like Kayden and continued his terror words,

"Well, It's going to be a pain you have never encountered in your life...

You will feel every part of the eating sensation.... every movement..... every pain..... evveerrrytthhhingggg...."

Eli leaned back and finished, "So be sure to stay strong, young man" Eli concluded with a pitiful smile, adding an extra layer of psychological torment.

"..." Kayden froze for a second, the weight of Eli's words sinking in. It took several seconds for him to realize the dire implications.

'W-Wh-wha-wwha-aaaarrrhhhh!!!!'

When he was about to question, he suddenly felt his head splitting up.

Without any second thought, Kayden hurriedly wriggled his body, driven by the instinct to escape the impending horror, and,

"Goopppp"

With no tongue, he couldn't articulate his defiance, resorting to a desperate act he..... gobbled on Eli's foot.... it was more like gobbling a black shoe.

"...." Everyone present seemed to forget how to breathe, the surreal scene unfolding before them.

'Snap'

In the midst of shock, someone snapped a photo, and Eli could almost guess who it was.

"Hehehe..." Mia giggled, thoroughly entertained as she planned to banner this and pasted it on her wall.

Ignoring his shamefulness, Kayden desperately tried to suck those healing potions, seeking solace in the temporary relief they promised.

Kayden suddenly felt a sense of ease in his throat, sensing the High-Level Healing potion working its magic, when,

"aar?"

He felt his throat turning hot...

Tears poured out from his eyes, snot leaked from his nose, and he experienced an agonizing burn in his stomach, akin to the effects of consuming strong capsaicin.

He attempted to move away, but Eli, with a cruel grin, forcefully shoved the potion inside his throat without any hesitation.

With a trembling and snotty face, Kayden looked at Eli with a mixture of dreadfulness and.... fear.

Seeing Kayden's trembling eyes, Eli's eyes widened, and,

"BOOM!!!"

"Hmm? But I don't think he is worthy enough to lick my foot!" Eli said with a small, twisted smile on his face.

"....."
