Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 211
◈ 211. [Side Story] Half
A small orphanage built on a hillside in the countryside.
I grew up half here with Damien..
The director, who lost his son in the war, took in war orphans..
The director was a wealthy man and occasionally received donations. On the outside, the orphanage seemed to be a fairly normal place..
slam!
Except the director is a psychopath..
“Damn you bastard! Damn you bastard! I told you to act like Wheeler, like Wheeler!”
Wheeler was the name of the director's deceased son..
The only reason the director took away the orphans was because he could not admit that his son was dead. So he gathered a body double and raised him..
The director called all the children in the orphanage Wheeler..
Both boys and girls had their hair cut short and were made to imitate Wheeler's speaking habits and behavior..
If there is even a little bit of deviation,
slam! slam!
beaten to death.
“My wheeler doesn't do that! You should be scolded until you become a Wheeler! It's your fault! okay?! It's all your fault, not Wheeler's.!”
All the children in the orphanage had scratches on both cheeks..
‘This was because during ‘discipline’, the director struck both cheeks alternately. The children had cracked lips, missing teeth and bruised cheekbones..
“You know it's because daddy loves you, Wheeler.……?”
‘After the ‘discipline’ was over, the director personally applied medicine to the children and whispered kindly to them..
Even though the children were terrified, they also longed for the director's love..
Because in the world of this small orphanage, the director was a god. 'Cause if he didn't get love from him he got hate instead.
Of all the children, Damien was the one who got hit the least..
The reason was that he resembled Wheeler the most..
The director cared for Damian, who behaved innocently and politely out of fear. Damian also tried to please the director..
And the child who got hit the most was Ban..
Because he didn't even pretend to be like Wheeler. The class openly rebelled against the director, and she was beaten every day..
“Even if the director beats me up all day, I won't become a wheeler. no, you can't.”
As if they were not afraid of the director's beating, the class always screamed loudly..
“I'm in class! Not your dead wheeler!”
Damian couldn't understand why Van rebelled and was beaten to death..
If you bend it just a little, it doesn't have to fit..
If you become a little more wheeler, it won't hurt..
One day, Damian approached Van, who had been badly beaten up and left in the warehouse, and asked. Why does he hold on like that?.
Then the class asked back..
“How can you live like that??”
“huh?”
“You're not Wheeler, you're Damian. So he has to live as Damian??”
I half-smiled at Damian, who was speechless and dazed..
“Even if I get hit to death, I will live half as long. Just wait and see.”
……The girl's words were nice, but.
The ideal was far away, but the director's beating was close. Van was beaten every day..
Damian secretly treated that class. The boy had the power to heal wounds. The two became increasingly close..
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….”
During each treatment, half of the class was always bluffing..
“Tsk tsk tsk… … This doesn't hurt at all. The force of hitting decreases as time goes by, right director? No, am I getting stronger??”
It's not that she grew up much faster than other people her age. But, no matter what, he was a kid..
Even after being beaten until there was a blood clot, Ban always bluffed and said it didn't hurt..
One day Damien was curious and asked.
“Why are you bluffing??”
“It's not a bluff.”
“You're pretending to be strong, right?.”
“I'm not pretending to be strong.”
Covering my bleeding nose with a cloth, I was half complaining..
“Later, I will become a really strong person. I'm just acting like that in advance..”
“……?”
I couldn't quite understand what was being said. Half of her grinned at Damien, who tilted her head..
“There comes a time when you too, find it so difficult that you can't bear it... … Play yourself as strong as me. It might help?”
“Like you... … All you have to do is laugh and laugh?”
“Tsk tsk, right! It starts from there.!”
If I pretend to be strong and bluff like you.
Then can I become brave like you? Will I be able to confidently face the director and this terrible world like you?.
Damian didn't know. I didn't even have the courage to follow along..
***
Time passed. Among the children who grow each day, half of them grew up particularly quickly..
Van became the tallest among the children at the orphanage. Her breasts swelled and her body lines changed..
In childhood, both boys and girls had shaved heads and were similar, but when secondary sexual characteristics appeared, the differences could no longer be hidden..
The girl was steadily becoming an adult..
As he grew bigger and earned the director's hatred, Ban took on all the chores at the orphanage. She lived in a warehouse and did all the manual work..
Thanks to that, I was able to move outside of the director's eyes..
Just as Damian had a talent for healing, Van had a talent for swordsmanship..
Half of the class carried a poorly made wooden sword and practiced every day without being noticed by the director..
“Hehehe, wait and see. One day, I will cut off the director's broad forehead with my sword skills! I'll break it for you.”
Even though he was growing differently every day, his unique bravado did not diminish at all..
Even on the day he was beaten to death by the director after lying that he had broken the cup that Damien broke..
“Is my tenacity the average tenacity? Even if I get hit all day long, it doesn’t hurt anymore… … Ouch! hey! Please fix it gently!”
Even when the director beat me every day and left scratches on both cheeks.,
“Isn’t it cute and looks like a cat’s whiskers? Hey, hey, it's not bad, is it? It's somewhat attractive?”
In this orphanage where terrible days repeat themselves every day..
I was half bluffing..
I played myself strong..
So, I got really strong. He kept his name unwavering and unwavering..
Damian wanted to be like that class..
I liked that class.
***
slam!
The incident occurred when Damien and Van were fifteen years old..
“I told you to act like a wheeler, motherfucker! My words don't sound like words?!”
A warehouse in the corner of the orphanage.
The director slapped the class that day too..
Ban shouted as he ran the back of his hand over his chapped lips..
“Please come to your senses, Director! I mean look straight at me.!”
Half of the time she pointed to her body, which showed off her perfect female curves..
“Look at my body! I'm a woman! I am a fundamentally different person from your dead son.!”
“…….”
Then the director’s body stiffened..
Ban's body, reflected in the moonlight, had already grown to maturity..
“okay… … Not my son Wheeler, but this.…….”
The director's gaze turned sinister..
“Then I won't have to treat you like a child..”
“yes……?”
Ban’s shoulders trembled..
The director walked towards the class without hiding his lustful feelings..
“You have to pay for feeding me and putting me to sleep, baby.?”
“Don't do that, Director..”
Ban urgently picked up a wooden sword from the shelf in the warehouse and held it..
“don't come close.”
The director approached the class without even pretending to listen. The shadow created by the director's huge body covered the girl..
“One more step and I'll hit you with this.!”
Ban closed his eyes tightly and tightened his grip on the wooden sword..
“please… … ! don't come any closer……!”
Thanks to his training and natural talent, Ban's swordsmanship was at a considerable level..
If she really made up her mind and struck down the wooden sword, the director would never be safe..
but,
“I don't want to be Wheeler, I want to be your daughter's class.…….”
No matter how much you abused yourself, even if you were a human being who couldn't get back,,
The director was the one who took her in and raised her. It was something like her father..
Ban couldn't bring himself to bring down the wooden sword. The director came right in front and slowly extended his hand towards the class..
It was then.
puck!
A young boy ran through the warehouse door, pushed the director hard, and then stood in front of the class. It was Damian.
“wheeler!”
The embarrassed director shouted loudly..
“What are you doing, Wheeler? I can't get out of the way in front of my dad?”
“I… … I am.”
In a trembling voice, Damian spat out:.
“I'm not a wheeler.”
“what?”
“My name is Damien. De, mi, an.”
Damian looked up at the director and reluctantly uttered his next words..
“And you are not my father, you are the director of this orphanage..”
“……!”
A flash of anger filled the director's eyes..
slam!
The director's huge hand placed Damien's cheek. The director kept playing with his hands while holding Damian, whose body was floating in the air..
“What kind of habit are you talking to your dad, Wheeler? You are a wheeler! You are a wheeler! I'll change your habits, be very straight! From the beginning! again!”
slam! slam!
Damian became covered in blood in no time. The director roared and raised his hands upward..
“If you can't be a wheeler, just die-!”
at that time,
Powok-!
Ban's wooden sword struck the back of the director's head with excitement..
“Ugh……?!”
The wooden sword was broken in the middle, and the director's large body fell unconscious on the floor along with the wooden fragments..
Ban looked down at the director, panting heavily..
“Haha, haha, you damn old man…….”
Immediately after, Ban turned his gaze towards Damian..
“Stay alive, Damien.?!”
Damian fell down, covered in blood, and didn't move. Ban urgently ran to Damian..
“Damien, answer me. please! damian!”
As Ban muttered with tears in his eyes, a small sound escaped Damian, who was motionless..
“……Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….”
“…….”
“Don't worry, I'm fine... … Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….”
Damian was smiling with a bloody face. Ban, who was relaxed by that clumsy, bravado laugh, burst into laughter..
“Aha, ahaha... … . what! Don't laugh like that! Because it doesn't suit you at all!”
“You too, ouch. We always didn't get along... … haha.”
“It's ridiculous because it really doesn't fit at all, ahahaha!”
The boy and girl covered in blood looked at each other and laughed like that for a while..
While holding each other's hands tightly.
On this day, the two people regained their names as Damian and Van, not Wheeler..
And it also meant that I could no longer stay in this orphanage..
***
The two decided to escape the orphanage..
In fact, I had been preparing for it for a long time, but I didn't have the right opportunity..
However, since they had no idea what else the director would do after they had beaten him down, the two had no choice but to immediately escape..
In the meantime, I tried to encourage other children to escape, but they all refused..
All the other children had already become ‘wheelers’. There were only two who resisted until the end and found a name..
Early in the morning when everyone is still asleep.
Damien and Van breathlessly walked down the old, creaky hallway of the orphanage..
Other employees hired by the director were often seen, but it was easy to get rid of them..
The process was easy because it was an escape that we had practiced dozens of times. However, it got stuck in the last step..
Front Door.
The only way between this orphanage and the outside world.
There was a huge old lock on the orphanage's front door that could not be opened except when the director opened it..
Ban pulled out a broken wooden sword and stood in front of the lock..
“I just waited for this day.”
After taking a breath, inhaling.
Powok-!
I struck it down in one fell swoop and broke the lock..
Ban muttered as he looked down at the shattered old lock..
“……I should have chopped off that old man’s head like this yesterday..”
“Let's go, class.”
Damian pulled the class..
“You must have heard a sound. The director might come to his senses soon..”
It was just as he said..
“wheeler!”
As soon as the two people kicked in the front door and started running, heavy footsteps were heard behind them..
It was the director. They tied him up and locked him in a warehouse, but he came to his senses when he heard the sound of the lock breaking and escaped the warehouse..
“Where are you going when you leave home, Wheeler? It's dangerous out there!”
The director shouted as he chased after the two who were running away to the mountain behind them..
“You are my children! You can't leave here! Wheeler! wheeler-!”
Covering their ears, the two ran frantically up the mountain behind the orphanage..
Occasionally, once every few months, the director would take the children on a picnic to the mountain behind this place..
But every time, the picnic always ended halfway up the mountain..
There was a high fence installed halfway up the mountain. Like double bars in a prison to prevent children from escaping..
The director did not show the children the scenery beyond. The director always said to the children who wanted to reach the top.
‘Beyond that mountain live terrible monsters. It's a hell out there where it's hard to even make a living..’
‘Now, let's go back to our safe home, Wheeler..’
Powok!
Ban's wooden sword broke the lock on the fence..
The boy and girl ran for a month, broke the director's prohibition, and reached the top of the mountain behind them in one go..
“…….”
“…….”
The two stopped breathing..
At best, I could only stand on the top of a small, low mountain and look down..
The world where dawn dawned was insanely beautiful. Beneath the infinitely expanding sky, the vast land stretched out endlessly..
It was the moment when the small and narrow world of the orphanage for the two people was shattered..
“wide…….”
Ban said, squeezing the hand of Damian, who was mumbling absently..
“Damien, promise me.”
“huh? promise? some promise?”
“I decided to adventure all over this outside world..”
Ban smiled brightly.
“Let's see the whole wide world in our eyes.”
“…….”
I swear to God, Damien had never seen such a beautiful smile in his life..
Her skin is tanned from doing chores, her hair is short like a boy's, and her cheeks are scarred from being beaten every day by the director..
Dried white by the dazzling sunlight and an even more dazzling smile, it looked more beautiful than anything else in the world..
“promise!”
“……Uh, yeah, promise..”
So, I just nodded without even thinking about the content of that promise..
Ban, who was grinning, suddenly grabbed Damian's face with his hand.,
side.
I folded my lips..
“……?!”
Damian stiffened, his face bright red and his eyes wide. After a moment, Van released her lips and shouted triumphantly..
“This is just a token of promise!”
“No, I don't usually do that with my finger.……?”
“Hehehe, that's something only kids do.!”
Ban, who said that despite being a child himself, took Damien's hand and led him forward..
“Let's go, Damian.!”
The road down to the other side of the mountain, beyond the summit, was rough. I couldn't even tell where this road led..
“To the end of the world, together!”
Nevertheless, the boy and girl willingly jumped into the outside world..
It was one early morning when the sun was shining brightly..
***
“I don't know why you're having such a good dream, but please wake up soon. damian student.”
Suddenly a grumpy voice flew in..
Damian, who had been twitching his eyes, opened them with a gasp..
“Did you sleep well, Trigger??”
I saw Ash's face sitting next to the bed, looking down sullenly. Damian muttered blankly..
“Prince? here is…….”
“four rooms of the temple.”
Damian was embarrassed and quickly stood up. As Ash said, it was his room that he was familiar with..
and,
clank.
Unfamiliar chains and handcuffs were installed on the wall..
Handcuffs were restraining Damien's wrists. Damian blinked his eyes at that in bewilderment. What is this?
Ash sighed softly as he looked at Damian..
“I don't remember what you did yesterday?”
