“Please… don’t…” Raissa begged as the man approached her.

She desperately tried to back up but ended up tripping over something and stumbling to the ground. When she glanced down, she realized it was a bone she had fallen over, likely from a human who had died on this stage and was eaten. She continued to back up, but she quickly ran into one of the broken pillars that made up the center stage.

Every ounce of training she had ever received now fled her mind. She used to be Dungeon Diver. She had survived where countless others had died. She had been in the depths of miasma filled caverns in far more dangerous circumstances. She had even been threatened with rape before. However, she had never felt so helpless as she did right now. She couldn’t even bring up the slightest bit of resistance.

Meanwhile, the man continued to advance on her, moving forward one step at a time. His eyes never left her body. Although, that was more her imagination than reality. With the helmet, she couldn’t see his face. However, she imagined he was licking her with his eyes, violating every inch of her.

“I-I’m not a virgin…” She suddenly said.

This caused the man to pause for a moment. Seeing that, she tried to seize the opportunity. She spoke in a low voice that couldn’t be heard over the shouts and jeers of the crowds.

“Lord Reign… he’s lied about many things. Please… if you let me go, I really do know the princess! I might even be able to get you free…!”

The man started to move forward again. Before Raissa could do a thing, he dropped down on top of her. He pinned her down on the ground. From start to finish, she hadn’t done a single thing to protect herself. At this point, cries shot out over the crowd. Some were angry and booing Raissa for not putting up more of a fight. Others were calling out lewd things they wanted to watch the gladiator do to Raissa.

As she could feel his meaty claws all over her, she began to recall how she had ended up here. After Deek had sent her back to the city, she had passed on her message to the Prince. However, once the message was passed, she wanted to return to Deek’s side. She knew the dungeon better than anyone. Without her, she worried Deek and his formation would suffer.

So, she managed to return to the city, planning to sneak past the knights and work her way down the dungeon. Surely, they weren’t any farther than level 15, so she would simply wait for them. She had spent long weeks in the dungeon before, so it wasn’t a problem for her to wait and survive. However, when she tried to leave out of the gate, suddenly she was arrested.

They gave her a bunch of trumped-up charges, claiming she was an escaped slave. Whenever she tried to argue or seek help, they beat her. Eventually, she had lost the energy to keep fighting. Now, she ended up in her current predicament, about to be raped by some man. Yet, she couldn’t blame him. He was just a slave following his own orders.

As he started forcefully spreading her legs, a single tear fell down her cheek. She began to think of a certain person. She remembered being in his strong arms.

“Deek… please save me…” She whispered her last, defeated words.

The helmeted man suddenly leaned closed to her ear. “I’m trying! Now can you put on even a little bit of a show? I’m supposed to be raping you here!”

“Eh?”
