Chapter One
The Curse & The Brutal Tortur
e
This world has always been a mystery box, filled with dark secrets people wanted to hide about themselves. The richer and noblest people are, the more darkest secrets they hide.
Jang family also had a secret to hide, which they could not let know the outside world know at any cost. They had a curse running in their blood line. A scary curse that led the effected individual, suffered from unbearable torture at the hands of his own family.
Unfortunately, Minnel born with a similar curse as his ancestors, which nobody could break. He possessed the demonic powers which could destroy the entire family.
Minnel couldn't die. He could heal faster than any other humans, his endurance level was much better than others. What made his situation worsen was, he had a system which could regenerated his tissues, no matter how much seriously he got injured.
When the Jang family discovered about Minnel's curse, they felt disgusted. That night, Mr. Jang tried to drowned Minnel when he was seven. He threw Minnel in the depth of the ocean with a heavy stone tied on his feet. But Minnel already knew how to swim. He survived the death like it was an easy task for him.
Later Mr. Jang pushed Minnel down through the rooftop. He fell down on a concrete floor with a loud thud, his bones cracked and blood covered his small body, but he still survived. His body healed on it's own, as if nothing happened to him.
At the end, Mr. And Mrs. Jang left no choice, besides to accept their curse son.
So they entrusted the issue to Madam Jang, Minnel's grandmother. An Old woman famous for her cruelty and merciless behavior.
Madam Jang began to performed rituals on Minnel. She made him take bath from icy cold water, no matter how loud Minnel scream in protest. Sometimes she made him lay on a cold floor in a December night. Sometimes she tied Minnel with the ropes and hung him on a tree.
Minnel endured unbearable pain at a very young age. Outside people called him a child born with a golden spoon. Inside the house, Minnel breathed in pain.
Tonight, Minnel turned eighteen. The moment Jang family feared the most arrived. They strongly believed that he could transformed into a demonic creature and destroy the family.
Therefore, to suppressed Minnel's demonic powers, Madam Jang had invited a shaman to perform the ritual, an elderly woman in her sixty, known as Mudang Nakjin.
Nakjin has been serving the Jang family since decades. She was known for her agonizing and torturous rituals.
The night was perfect for the ritual. Blood moon gleamed on the dark sky.
Mr. And Mrs. Jang, and Madam Jang stood at the corner of the basement room. The soundproof walls had no windows at all, heavy chains secured the iron doors from inside.
As Nakjin has commanded, Minnel lay on the concrete floor. Shirtless, his hands and legs tied in X position, his muscles stretched to his limit.
"Please don't do this. I won't harm anyone father, please don't do this.!" Minnel's trembling voice fell on a deaf ears. Tears streamed through his eyes, he had been begging from his parents since hours, but the Butler Kang pulled him down to the basement. While the two servants bound him mercilessly.
"It's for your own good Minnel!" Mrs. Jang broke the awkward silence.
Minnel stared into his mother's eyes for a long, heavy moment. He searched every flicker of her gaze, hoping for a spark of warmth, but he found nothing.
"We have to stop him from speaking!" Nakjin informed. "He could interrupt the ritual." Her voice trembled as she sat on her knees besides Minnel and stared at him with a angry look on her face.
Minnel looked at the elderly woman. Her eyes filled with hatred against him. "Please stop!" He begged one last time, scanning the surroundings for any help.
But in that suffocated basement room, nobody ever shown affection to Minnel. In their eyes, Minnel was a monster, a child who should never be born.
Madam Jang looked at the butler Kang, "Cover his mouth!" She commanded.
Butler Kang stepped ahead, he approached the table decorated with necessary tools. A candle, a box of ten inches long needles with a red round head.
Kang grabbed a rough cotton cloth and a thick rope. He knelt down beside Minnel on the other side. "Open your mouth you master." He said in a cold tone.
Minnel shook his head in denial. He squeezed his lips as hard as he could.
Butler Kang exchanged a questioning look with Mr. Jang.
A long sigh escaped from Mr. Jang. He stepped ahead and brutally kicked his leg on Minnel's knees.
"Ahh!" Minnel screamed as the sharp pain jolted through his body.
Butler Kang grabbed the chance stuffed the thick clothes in his mouth. Pushing deeper in his throat with the help of his thumbs.
"Mmmgh! G-ack! Hnnn!" Minnel gagged, his voice muffled behind the cloth.
Next, Butler Kang pressed the ropes against Minnel's lips, and looped around Minnel's head. He tied the two knots at the back with a brutal force.
The rope dug deeper into the corners of Minnel’s lips, stretching them wide and pulling them backward. His mouth was forced into a permanent, painful O shape, exposing his teeth and the stuffed cloth inside.
"HHhhugh!" Minnel choked his breath. Fear gnawed in his heart as he helplessly lay in a X position while being stretched to his limits. The cloth in his mouth blocked his breath and suppressed his voice. His body soaked in sweat, trembling in cold. He panted heavily, waiting for the torture to began.
However, this was the beginning of a terrifying night, Minnel could never forgot.
