22 – Despair!

—————————

PART 1 – Jinmei!

—————————

A Beastkin of the White Rabbit Clan, born in the Village of Purple Beasts, Jinmei!

Jinmei, among her people, can be said to have been born with everything. Even though few truly knew this, this is mainly due to the eccentricity of his parents.

His father was a famous alchemist who worked for a count; his mother was just one of the count's pets, which was given to his father as a gift, and months later Jinmei was born.

Jinmei lived in a relatively large village where her people were mostly Beastkins, but there were a significant number of Beastmen.

(Beastkins = Humanoid Animals)

(Beastmans = Humans with animal parts)

During his childhood, Jinmei had no idea that his father was rich and powerful; he only saw him sometimes, thinking that his father was just a bastard like any other who had some abnormal control over his mother, who had no eyes for him. no other men, even those who were significantly stronger than her and her father.

And during his childhood, Jinmei was always weak; the animal that his lineage was part of was not recognized for being something at the top of the food chain, but he was always someone lively and attentive, and from the few interactions with his father, he learned to talk to women.

And so, Jinmei, who has been smart and mature since a young age, already targeted most of the females in his village, taking advantage of the fact that young people his age or a little older had not yet awakened the bestial libido that is like a curse for all of his people.

So with sweet words, he always went after all the girls in the village, where the boys, upon seeing this, took the opportunity to humiliate him and called him a little girl since he hung out with the girls, but Jinmei never bothered, knowing that in the end, he would be the one to reap the rewards.

And one of her many targets was a young Chinchilla named Shunam, weaker than him and the target of a lot of intimidation from the idiotic boys, making her an easy target for Jinmei, who protected her and thus gained a loyal follower.

As the years passed, Jinmei earned the “profits” from her investments, fornicating with many young women from a young age and thus acquiring EXP. The fact that he is a rabbit and can literally cum like a machine gun has allowed him to accumulate 10 orgasms in 1 and rarely 2 sessions.

So he gained a lot of EXP at the beginning and leveled up quickly. At the age of 10, he was already Level 2. It was when his father found out that he congratulated him and to protect him that his father showed some authority and told Jinmei his secrets.

And so Jinmei studied under his tutelage, becoming an alchemist, learning almost everything his father had to go through, where what he lacked were the levels!

At the age of 12, Jinmei began to become a target of the men in the village, as he was fornicating a lot with women, so the stronger males beat him and took away the women who were interested.

Jinmei, in less than 3 months, lost most of her investment, except for Shunam, who was not only not attractive to most males but was also only 9 years old at the time.

And Jinmei stuck to her, where Shunam somehow, seeming determined, started training, and when her growth spurt came, that's when she became a beauty among her people and protected Jinmei from everything and everyone who wanted harm.

But Shunam was still a slave to her own body; if a truly strong male appeared, she would be taken away without the ability to resist, and Jinmei would lose her. As a result, Jinmei did what her father taught her to keep the women of her people under control. control.

[Suppressors]

Jinmei gave Shunam suppressants, allowing him to resist her bestial urges. During mating seasons when females are in heat, Shunam is imprisoned to avoid unnecessary trouble.

And so was Jinmei's life from the age of 14, where, because of his job, he needed a lot of materials, and as he was intelligent, he used the young and strongest people in the village to collect what he needed and transport everything.

Shunam would sometimes go out where she had this “Medicine”, because Jinmei never said they were suppressants to control her mentality but rather a medicine to make her stronger and give her energy.

Years passed, and Jinmei somehow reached Level 5, while Shunam, who had invested the most in recent years, was already a Level 10 Assassin!

With great pride, Jinmei walked through the streets and city. Those who tried to steal Shunam from him were beaten by her, and as a gift for remaining faithful to him, Jinmei “pleased” Shunam all night.

His life was good, and now he is in the Duchy of Veremor, preparing to participate in this great mission, where he believes, with Shunam's help, he will be able to reach Level 8 by the end of the year.

And that morning, he left his room, where he had his delicious meal, and then went to meet Shunam, looking for her and finally finding her outside the inn, talking to an old acquaintance of his, Tropim!

“Tropim!” - Jinmei happily waved her hand and walked over.

Looking at him, Tropim looked away and walked away. - “Think about what I told you; you have a lot of potential; don’t lose it for this false love!”

Jinmei frowned when she heard the end. - “Shunam? What is that?" - He asked, irritated and stamping his feet.

Shunam gave him a calm look and said. - "Nothing else. Tropim said he managed to get into the group of a master who is at least Level 15. He said he got a space for me if I wanted it.”

“Oh? And even? So come on, let’s do it!” - Jinmei said, smiling happily.

“…he said he only had one space, so I declined.” - Shunam said.

“It doesn’t matter; let’s go anyway. I’m a genius alchemist; even a Legendary Master would accept me, much less a mere Level 15!” - Jinmei said with great pride and confidence, Shunam giving her a meaningful look, but soon said the location, and they both went there.

—————————

PART 2 – Shunam! (I)

—————————

Her mother was a Chinchilla Beastkin, while her father was a Rat Beastman. Their copulation gave birth to a fragile little girl who many said would die before she was 6 years old.

In response, Shunam survived against all odds, but the beast people, who respect only the strong and abhor the weak, instinctively felt the need to antagonize Shunam.

The older ones didn't bother, but the younger ones, when the cute and innocent little Chinchilla girl came to want to play, were ignored and pushed away.

But one day, like a knight in shining armor, Jinmei appeared, only to be beaten when he tried to protect her. But after that, the two played together, and he always got beaten instead of her.

When they got older, Shunam hated being weak, while Jinmei was using everything at her disposal to get stronger, including sleeping with dozens of girls.

But she was a beast of a woman; inadvertently, she felt attracted to stronger men, and behind Jinmei's back, she tried to pursue those from the Lion, Tiger, and even Bear Clan, who were like celebrities among her kind.

The result was obvious, and in the end, she was in Jinmei's arms, receiving her paltry amount of EXP. She didn't care, but she knew since then that Jinmei was her man and she was her woman.

But as problems arose and Jinmei was being brutally beaten and began to learn alchemy, she went to her father and asked for help. She wanted to become stronger and protect Jinmei as he protected her.

And Jinmei's father thought she was pathetic, but he was... we can say he was a little crazy, and so he told Shunam that there was a way for her to get stronger, and she accepted it without thinking.

After that, what happened cannot be described as something human. Shunam was tortured, having all kinds of drugs injected into her body. She was undergoing an alchemical modification, something similar to what happens with the Shadows of Veremor, but the method used was more brutal and crude.

Many failures occurred, but after only 4 months of experiments, Shunam, who could not remember correctly what happened, was traumatized, and when she noticed, Jinmei found her.

When Shunam looked at him, she felt terror because she saw that man towering over him. She cried, and Jinmei hugged her.

The following days passed, and Shunam had an increase in her appetite, her attributes changed, she was at Level 3, her strength grew continuously, and a pain persisted, but after months, it disappeared.

Her body grew; she reached 180cm in height, acquiring 20 points in Dexterity, Constitution and Perception, without even spending the points she acquired per level.

She was becoming frighteningly powerful, but she was loving it. Only when she looked at Jinmei did she feel that terror. But when she had him in her arms, she somehow calmed down, with words lingering in her mind, but she didn't understand… no, she didn't remember what it was.

But whenever she was being touched by Jinmei, the words seemed to have an effect. She doesn't really understand; she doesn't remember, but she knows that these words have great power, and it's like her mind shuts down.

And since she woke up, she no longer feels attracted to others of her people; in fact, she doesn't feel any attraction to Jinmei either; even if she feels some slight pleasure during the act, it wasn't like before.

Her life progressed; she was exceptional; there was nothing more to be said; she went so far as to confront an ogre; even though she was an assassin who should focus on sneak attacks, she killed her opponent, protecting Jinmei.

She follows him because she finds no reason not to.

Time passed, and Jinmei, greedy and full of ambitions, came to the Duchy of Veremor, wanting opportunities, and she followed him because she saw the opportunities and wanted to take advantage of them. She wants to reach Level 11.

And when they were looking for a decent group to join, Tropim, one of the men who once intimidated her but who became her companion in many battles, came to send her an invitation that was difficult to refuse. Being under the command of a master of at least level 15, this same master has a wife who is a level 12 assassin.

Shunam asked why they needed 2 assassins and 1 thief, and Tropim said that the level 12 assassin is changing her skills and therefore won't be able to do her best with what she has.

When Shunam said that she would call Jinmei, Tropim stopped her and said. - “I only talked about you because you are strong and you are what they are looking for, but Jinmei would not fit into the group.”

“I understand, so I have no reason to go. I appreciate it, but you can leave now.” - Shunam said it calmly and with a touch of coldness.

“Shunam, you have to stop supporting this spoiled brat; you are strong and he is weak; if it weren't for him, you would already be at Level 11, maybe more! You might be married and having children with a strong man, but you subject yourself to humiliating yourself with this brat who doesn't mature.” - Tropim growled.

“What I do with my life doesn’t concern you; get out!” - Shunam said coldly, and Jinmei's voice sounded. He came running.

“Think about what I told you; you have a lot of potential; don’t lose it for this false love!” - Tropim said, huffing and walking away.

Shunam found himself the target of Jinmei's annoyed look, knowing that at any moment he could go crazy with anger, as he hates being belittled. - “Shunam? What is that?"

"Nothing else. Tropim said he managed to get into the group of a master who is at least Level 15. He said he got a space for me if I wanted it.” - She responded as calmly as possible, and Jinmei's face brightened.

“Oh? And even? So come on, let’s do it!” - He said it in an excited tone, almost jumping, while Shunam said it with some hesitation in his tone. - “… he said he only had 1 space, so I refused.”

“It doesn’t matter; let’s go anyway. I’m a genius alchemist; even a Legendary Master would accept me, much less a mere Level 15!” - Jinmei as always, with his overconfidence and seeing his look, Shunam knew he had nothing to do and only followed him after giving him the location.

But when they arrived, this Skarla was in some intense activity, and it seems that she was not responding; they could only come tomorrow.

And when they came the next day, it was close to dusk, the tavern was full, and in the back, Tropim was sitting with what they believe to be the group, which only has 2 men and 7 women.

This seems strange; Shunam wanted to say it, but Jinmei confidently went ahead. Shunam followed him, and as they approached, the tall woman, who had a beautiful young woman with violet eyes on her lap, frowned, looking around before her eyes focused on her.

Moments later, this woman stood up abruptly, eyes wide, and many emotions emerged, such as disgust, anger, shock, sadness, pity... she was shaking.

“Hi, I’m Jinmei!” - Jinmei smiled and introduced herself, but that tall and muscular woman advanced, pushing him to the confusion of many. Shunam was ready to fight, but... she didn't feel willing to do so; it was an instinct.

“My god… what did they do to you? What monster did this to you?” - Her words were shaky, and Shunam was confused.

PART 3 – Shunam! (II)

—————————

After Belinda experienced some pleasure with a cock on stage, she and Cecil were taken to meet the rest of the group, where Pauline was the last to arrive.

They all started drinking, with Belinda and Cecil introducing themselves and, of course, telling their stories, with Cecil being the most talkative and lively.

Needless to say, Cecil, who is very open-minded and talks dirty, quickly became friends with Calah.

Belinda intriguingly made friends with Phinel and Pauline, where they began to talk about magic. Phinel was a wealth of knowledge due to his old age.

Skarla, with Viper on her lap, smiled with her group-making friends, while Tropim seemed the least sociable since, because of his past actions, he lost some trust and harbored many suspicions.

But Phinel sometimes devoted some time to talking to him, and Cecil and Belinda, who didn't know it yet, also established some relationships.

In a way, everything was going well until Viper noticed two figures approaching. From their obvious characteristics, she understood who they were, but at that moment, she noticed that Skarla started to act strangely. Looking at her, she noticed her confused, until his eyes widened when he looked in the direction of Jinmei and Shunam.

As for what Skarla saw and felt,?

She was having fun when suddenly a familiar sensation appeared, which made her remember the past and her inhumane experiments, including creatures called Jiangshi.

She was confused that she felt it so suddenly, until she looked at her surroundings, and finally her gaze fell further ahead, where she saw a humanoid rabbit approaching. He looked cute, but that didn't attract her. What attracted her was the tall and feminine woman with grayish skin, a tight outfit, and exposing her muscles and beautiful curves. But the most attractive thing would be her huge thighs, which look so soft.

But Skarla wasn't looking at her with any interest or passion at first glance; there was enormous shock, confusion, fear, anger, disgust, sadness… Skarla was tormented by a myriad of emotions from the information her extremely keen senses brought to her.

She got up, not caring about Viper; the humanoid rabbit said something. She pushed him, and he fell to the ground. She advanced towards this woman, the target of her discomfort, not bothering that she was about to pull out her sword.

“My god… What did they do to you? What monster did this to you?” - Skarla shuddered because what she is seeing is at such a sickening level that even she did inhumane things that even those with the strongest minds would vomit and be traumatized when they saw it.

And here she is, seeing something that someone has modified, being able to see everything and imagine the process used, to the point where she almost feels like vomiting.

"What do you mean?" - The woman in question was frowning when Skarla touched her face and held her arm, observing her in more detail. Shunam wanted to free herself, but Skarla squeezed her, preventing her from leaving.

“Skarla, what is it?” - Viper, who knew that Skarla was not normal, asked, and some other customers who noticed the strangeness and were worried about conflict started to pay more attention.

“God… what did they do to you? Tell me, who was the monster that did this barbarity to your body?!” - Skarla shivered, trying to be more delicate; she was shaking.

Shunam, seeing this, took the opportunity to walk away, being even more confused.

“What are you talking about, stranger?!” - Jinmei shouted furiously at being knocked down.

"Was you?!" - Skarla growled, grabbing Jinmei's head and lifting it up, her murderous intent exploding to everyone's shock.

“SKARLA! HE ARRIVES!" - Phinel shouted, and the others advanced.

“GET OUT!” - Skarla roared, and his roar charged with aura pushed them to where Shunam drew his sword and placed it on Skarla's neck. - "Leave the!" - She said it fiercely, and other customers were ready to conflict, as they didn't know who Skarla was.

“Honey, we can talk; let him go and tell us the problem; did they piss you off?” - Calah asked, shivering and trying to make Skarla stop.

Skarla looked at her and at the others, realizing that to everyone, she seemed to have gone crazy. She looked at Jinmei, ignoring Shunam and his sword, evaluating the rabbit who had already pissed himself in his pants; she knew he didn't have the madness or competence for that.

“Madam customer, please put him down; we will resolve this peacefully.” - Said a waitress.

“Do you… do you have any idea what they did to you?” - Skarla asked, looking at Shunam. - “Do you have any idea what you have become?” - In her words, tears flowed down Skarla's eyes.

Shunam was confused, not understanding what this crazy woman was talking about.

“You really don’t know... I can tell by your eyes that you have no idea of the atrocities they committed against you. How old were you? How old were you when you were modified?” - Skarla asked, shivering and letting go of Jinmei, focusing only on Shunam.

"As? How do you know?" - Shunam backed away, scared.

“I have eyes that allow me to see magic in enormous detail; I can feel the most subtle changes; I can know their differences and changes; I can see inside people; and I know how much energy, whether magical or vital, each of these people has." - Skarla said calmly, giving him a look of pity.

“And what I see in you terrifies me, fills me with hatred; I'm almost vomiting, and I guarantee you that if anyone here could see what I see, they would cry and vomit, terrified by the inhumane act they did to your body. ” - Said Skarla.

“Skarla… Do you feel the same when you look at me?” - Viper's worried voice sounded shaky, but Skarla didn't even look at her and said.

“Viper, the modification you underwent is considered child's play—something as less invasive as possible compared to what I'm seeing here. I see the work of a madman, a butcher... Heavens, girl, you're not even alive! You are an undead!” - Said Skarla, words that shocked everyone.

“You bleed, you taste it, you maybe feel pleasure, but... your heart and other organs... no, calling you undead is not right; you are... a chimera, that's the only thing I can think of.”

When the word “chimera” was said, everyone was worried, as they know that they are creatures that Necromancers and Body Collectors create through dark arts who play at being gods.

“Stop talking nonsense! Chimeras cannot grow; when I went through this process, I was only 9 years old! This made me stronger; all my attributes are at 20 points, except for charisma. I am strong; I have more than 300 HP and EP points. I'M PERFECT!" - Shunam shouted, seeming to have been affected by the words, and her statistics shocked everyone.

“Girl… your forehead, cheeks, ears, eyes, lips, chin, neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, the crooks of your fingers... your breasts, ribs, belly, all your organs... Every part of your body, no area was untouched by a blade. When you died, your body was dismembered in the most brutal way I can imagine, just from the vision I have…”

“His organs were replaced by stronger ones, which work through magic and something I don't know what it is. You grew up like a normal child; you can receive the benefits of your training; you can feel everything like a normal person because… you are a mixture of a homunculus and a chimera. An experimental product that miraculously survived, where all its flaws were covered up.”

“You may not understand the weight of my words, but to reach a result like yours, this monster had to experiment hundreds to thousands of times before succeeding through pure luck, and after that... I can't think of how this monster’s ego inflated and how many lives were destroyed for him to try to create something like you…”

“And Shunam, right? You are a woman sentenced to death... in 3 years, your muscles will no longer be able to support themselves, and you will feel pain, a lot of pain, something hellish, and you will see as the days go by, your muscles melting inside your skin, then your skin will seize up to your bones, where perhaps you will be able to move around for a few more months. Before finally your brain begins to melt, you will lose your rationality, becoming a creature without reason... then you will die when your heart finishes circulating all the magic and this thing that is circulating through your body like blood…”

“Girl, you will die such a horrible death, to the point that I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! At most, you have 4 years to live, and this process is irreversible…”

Skarla, after speaking, couldn't stand anymore and sat down. The atmosphere was heavy, and Shunam couldn't believe what was said. - “Viper, capture her, and let's take her to the duchess. Letiphia needs to know this and deal with the monster who did this inhumane act! He needs to pay!” - Skarla growls fiercely.

Viper didn't hesitate, and Shunam didn't fight back; she just gave in while Jinmei called her name. Shunam looked at him, and the image overlapped, and for the first time, her voice sounded so clearly.

[“I don’t know if you will remember, but thank you, Shunam; you are my first successful creation. It is a shame that you are so imperfect, but to protect my foolish and dear son, I think it will be enough, so stay by your side and protect him; that’s all you’re good for!”]

AH!

A scream came from Shunam's lips.

AAAAHH!

AAAAAAAHHH!!

And her screams were prolonged, seeming crazy and desperate. Viper released her due to the initial fright, and she grabbed her head in pure despair because... the memories were returning—her soul in a jar, her body being dismembered and closed—she was witnessing and feeling all of this, even though I am already dead.

Tears flowed from her eyes incessantly until a large, strong, and warm hand rested on her head, then her mind emptied and she fainted. Skarla carefully took her into her arms, giving her a pitying look.

“Take the rabbit and Tropim; come too; I want to know everything! Hide something, and I swear you won’t be able to move for the rest of your life!” - Skarla's murderous gaze fell on Tropim, who felt all his hair stand on end, and he hurriedly nodded his head.
