On The Other Side: I Quit Being Human



In the sky of the Consio Kingdom, a white-haired man appeared with a blond-haired woman beside him. He was carrying an unconscious pink-haired maiden on his shoulder. The blond-haired woman glanced at the white-haired man nervously. Her previously cold look was nowhere to be found.

"What bothers you, Brianna?" the white-haired man asked.

"H- How we should proceed from now on, Lord Rusceus?" Brianna stammered.

"Have you forgotten our plan?"

"N- No, it's just…"

"Are you doubting my capability to protect you from Layland Kleinhaus?"

Brianna waved her hands wildly with widened eyes. She explained that she didn't doubt his capability and was only afraid of Layland. It sounded the same, but Rusceus understood what she was saying. He could see the unadulterated fear she bore toward Layland after facing his wrath. She was inciting another one, so it was expected of her to be so apprehensive.

Rusceus scoffed lightly before teleporting into his castle. As soon as he appeared in his throne room, his successor knelt respectfully. He tossed Winerva to his successor and then walked to his throne. His successor stared at Winerva in puzzlement as he sat on his throne.

"Am I supposed to have fun with this human? I don't mean to offend you, but am not interested in weak women," his successor said.

Rusceus stared at his white-haired, dark-skinned successor holding Winerva. His successor's golden eyes stared at him with bewilderment, replacing the craze that always inhabited them. Rusceus sighed faintly in regret. He was considering replacing his muscular successor with someone who exercised his brain more.

"Maurice, don't you recognize her?" Rusceus asked expectantly.

"She is one of Layland Kleinhaus' whores," Maurice answered firmly. Rusceus urged him to continue with his look, causing him to blink and say, "I fail to see her significance. I am sure Layland Kleinhaus is not even that eager to fornicate with her."

Rusceus sighed heavier this time. "Do you know what kind of a man Layland Kleinhaus is?"

"This one is replaceable," Maurice answered as he lifted Winerva to emphasize his point.

Rusceus shook his head. He had given up trying to make Maurice understand what he had in mind. Compassion was a foreign concept to Maurice. No, saying that would be wrong. Maurice could still feel compassion, but his understanding of compassion was different. His compassion would only be triggered by things that could go against him.

Brianna appeared in the throne room with a flash of light. Maurice's attention was immediately picked up. Brianna was nowhere near strong enough to go against him, but Divinity coursed through her body no matter how minuscule it was. Bending her over made him feel like spiting God which was what Demons were destined to do.

Brianna shivered at the crazed look Maurice sent her. She was used to the lecherous gaze perverts gave her but couldn't stand the look Maurice gave her. She had always felt she was in control whenever she had sex with a man even if he was stronger than her. However, she felt dominated when she did it with Maurice. If it wasn't for Rusceus' order, she was sure Maurice would have broken her a long time ago.

"Let's have some fun, shall we, Brianna?" Maurice said with a smirk.

Brianna gulped dryly. Before she could answer, Rusceus stated, "She is off limits indefinitely. She will take care of that woman."

"Oh, so this whore is for Brianna in the very first place," Maurice remarked.

"No. I was intending to let you play with her, but you don't seem to know what to do. Therefore, I am entrusting her to Brianna."

"I also don't know what to do," Brianna squeaked out, inwardly not wanting anything to do with Winerva.

In response to her implicit rejection, Rusceus called out, "Helia!" A blue-skinned woman with a pair of curved horns appeared in the room. She knelt respectfully before her King. "You are to continue the Experiment Hydra with Brianna's assistance. Use that pink-haired girl as your test subject."

The Demon called Helia turned to Brianna and flashed her fangs. She stood up and walked to Maurice, taking Winerva from him. She carried Winerva like a sack of potatoes on her shoulder as she led Brianna to the laboratory. Brianna's heart pounded so loud in her ears that she was left deaf. Whatever Winerva was going to experience wouldn't be pleasant. She was afraid of what Layland would do when he knew what they were doing.

"Hey, stop acting like a fool!"

So busy with her thoughts, Brianna was woken up by a violent shake from Helia. She yelped and then looked at Helia fearfully. In response, Helia quirked an eyebrow. Not caring about what was bothering her mind, Helia handed Winerva to her. Helia told her to put Winerva in the cage and wake her up. She dumbly nodded her head and walked to the cage in the laboratory.

Putting Winerva down on the cold floor, she pondered how she should wake Winerva up. She was about to jolt Winerva up with her Mana when her vision was tilted upside down. She barely registered the pain assaulting the back of her head when she felt a cold steel against her neck. With disbelief, she met the cold look that Winerva pinned her with.

"What are you planning, bitch?" Winerva spat. She was about to answer when Winerva said, "Fuck that! I am just going to kill you."

Before the cold steel separated Brianna's head, Winerva was flung to the side. Winerva's body collided with the wall as Brianna touched her bloody neck. Looking up, Brianna met Helia's disapproving look. She immediately stood up and then walked toward Winerva who was busy writhing while clutching her ribs.

Thinking about Layland as she looked at the helpless Winerva, her entire being was overwhelmed with rage. She kicked Winerva as hard as she could while thinking about how unfair it was for Layland to torture her.

"How dare you cut me; you Layland's bitch!?"

Crack!

Brianna could barely register the sound of breaking bones as she was too caught up in her anger. She only stopped when Winerva stopped struggling. Fear immediately gripped her heart, knocking all of her anger out of her head. She knelt and hurriedly checked Winerva's condition. Much to her relief, Winerva was alive even though she was coughing up blood.

"I will heal you," she muttered softly, earning a glare from Winerva.

"Don't do that," Helia exclaimed, stopping her. "For this experiment, she needs to be injured. I was about to injure her myself when you beat the shit out of her." Helia grinned. "You aren't bad, Brianna. I thought you were no more than a meek nympho."

"Just…kill me…" Winerva writhed.

"Sorry. We can't do that," Helia replied nonchalantly.

Winerva yelped when Helia yanked her head by her hair. She struggled as Helia dragged her out of the cage. Brianna watched what happened with an apprehensive gaze. Her mind was haunted by Layland's enraged look as she looked at Winerva. On the other hand, however, she also wanted to make Layland experience the anguish that she had felt. She was filled with so many conflicting emotions, so she opted to stand on the sideline and watch.

Winerva growled as she was strapped to the bed in the centre of the laboratory. Blood was constantly pouring out of her mouth as her thrashing further damaged her viscera. Helia eventually got irked by what she was doing and cast a Spell that rendered her motionless. Only a muffled sound could be heard coming out of her mouth.

Ignoring Winerva's eyes that widened in horror, Helia took a jar filled with a transparent liquid and a bulky worm-like creature. She took the creature out of the jar, causing it to thrash violently. Much to Winerva's silent horror, she brought the creature to Winerva's neck. A moment later, Winerva shrieked as the creature latched onto her neck.

"AH! GOT THIS THING OFF ME!"

Brianna winced at the heart-wrenching scream. She didn't want to imagine the pain as it would make her recall what Layland had made her go through. Winerva stopped screaming not long after, but her mouth was still wide open. The pain was so unbearable that she broke her vocal cords. At this point, red shiny veins already decorated her entire body. They were pulsing as if they were alive.

When the veins disappeared, Winerva lost consciousness. Brianna immediately scurried over, worried that Winerva had died. She was in time to see a shrivelled-up brown creature unlatch itself from Winerva's neck before withering away. In the next second, the injuries that Winerva sustained healed at an incredulous speed. It almost rivalled the Demon's instant regeneration.

"Is this what the Experiment Hydra is about?" Brianna said dumbly.

"Yes," Helia answered proudly. "A Hydra can regenerate as many times as they want unless their head is not separated from their body. We are still finding a way to remove that weakness and this human here will help us."

"H- How are we going to eliminate that weakness," Brianna asked apprehensively.

Instead of answering, Helia grinned manically and punched Winerva's stomach. Winerva opened her eyes wide and then screamed in anguish as Helia pulled her intestines out. Brianna blanched at the scene and took a step back. She had seen disfigured bodies but not a brutalized living person. Her stomach churned, causing her to throw up furiously.

Splat!

She had just finished throwing up when a piece of Winerva's intestine fell on the floor near her hand. She gagged before throwing up again. She only stopped throwing up when Winerva stopped screaming. She dared to stand up and look at Winerva's condition. The bed was bloodied, but Winerva's exposed stomach was unblemished. It had regenerated.

"That's what we are going to do. Pretty fun, don't you think?"

Brianna turned her head to meet Helia's crazed look. Her hands were shaking and her heart was beating in fear; however, somehow, a grin crept up her face.
