The master directed me towards a table, to the left of which were tools sprawled across the table, and if that meant anything to him, he knew what time it was.
I moved the table, placing myself flatly down, butt naked like I have been for a while. I stared into the master's eyes, engraving every feature of the person I swore to kill.

Already understanding the future that lay ahead, he steeled himself, trying to focus on the changes his body was undergoing.
Due to the many unusual events he went through, he never actually got to test his limits or see what he had become.
Spoken like a true masochist. Turns out the many experiences are developing a new trait within him.
Like they say, if he doesn't understand, beat it into him.
The hideous spider started by picking up one of the equipment on the table.
" Time to test your durability, so please last, don't want the fun ending early", she mockingly said
She took a nail, piercing it within multiple crevices, making sure to never puncture an organ or touch a bone.
She was skilful, administering the most amount of pain with the smallest amount of damage.
Time blurred, and his thoughts acted as a shield and an escape from the continuous pain on the outside.
She went through it all, being melted, stabbed, banged with blunt weapons and even burned, which he was oddly immune to. However, he made it a goal to stay awake.
A chance to understand his weaknesses was rare, and he might never get this chance again.
All for the chance at revenge. Before it was just a pity goal, a place for him to vent all the pain he went through, but after this.
She slotted herself right on top of it.
Funny enough, he learned that having a good memory wasn't all so good very early. Remembering every bit of the pain you go through was not exhilarating in any way.
He did hear a new term, though, and it seems to be a grading system for what he doesn't know, as all he heard is that he's reached the unlatched stat, the unlatched, and by the way she acted after finding out, told him all he needed to know.
You could practically see the dripping saliva, though something was odd.
She would randomly have that look of glee, then cork it back with one of utter disgust. All that just made her look all the more ugly, but it was still odd behaviour to note.
Fast forward to the end, and it reached midnight- Opting for the spider to stop her questionable activities and return to her bed.
Packing up, she ended up putting me in the red vat at the end of the day, and weirdly enough, breathing in here actually felt so much better.
It seems there lies a filtration system here somewhere.
His wounds were healing a bit faster, but not something to exaggerate.
I guess he is useful for something except for torturing me.
Then he suddenly went drowsy and collapsed. I guess he still has a limit- well, he is still a child.
His dreams drifted, but the most prominent one was the many different ways of killing the beast, causing him to smirk madly within his abode.

The alarm rang, waking the old scrounge up from his slumber. She did the usual hygiene check, brushing his teeth, washing, though nothing was ever the same.
Coming out of the taps was a strange brown liquid akin to mud. Maybe it was an invention of his, as I know no government would willingly choose such a colour for water.
Later, he moved to styling, checking himself in the mirror as if he looked sexy, but he did, we never knew.
After being done, he moved to the lab, taking a certain subject out, as today was the day he earned some profit out of him, and one of the options was actually a gladiator.
No matter what place you are, entertainment will always be foremost, and battle was the most entertaining and still is the most entertaining.
Getting ready, his master threw him some clothes, though a bit baggy and a bit smelling.
It at least covered him. Exiting the home, Kade finally got to experience the scenery of the place.
It was actually subpar compared to what he experienced.
Yes, the scenery had a mix of nature and futuristicness. Having lighting everywhere, setting the mood of the place, and that was the only interesting part, as how it was made was truly a marvel.
They came from a fluorescent plant from above, though they were too bright for him to see everything. A passing billboard told him all he needed to know.
Marketing it as a night lamp, you could use 24/7- emphasising its durability.
When you experience the same thing over and over, it does become dead.
Moving through the bustling crowd, a variety of different races exploded everywhere, some small, others big.
'Oh, is that why the screen reached the floor?' he thought, slightly amused by it.
The many differences were still weird to accept, as this guy lived his whole life knowing only humans and the rest were just livestock.
His master finally stopped in front of a store reading Jalla's Apothecary, entered, and was greeted by a maiden at the reception.
Her charcoal exoskeleton caught the lantern light in matte patches, broken only by thin green lines that traced along her neck plates. Wide, reflective eyes followed their entrance with quiet precision. A pair of short antennae lifted, sensing the disturbance before the door even finished closing.
"Morning, madam, what brings you here today?"
"Well, just came to browse, why do you miss me?" he mused, dashing it with a smile to swoop the lady.
Watching it all my body threatened to vomit, but I forced it down as that might reveal my consciousness.
The lady, on the other hand, was actually smiling, throwing flirty glances toward the beast.
'She's on the list', jotting it down to remember, though petty, he did promise her endless suffering.
Meaning it made sense why he would kill compatriots.
" Wait here, sir, as I go get Mr Rogers", swinging her twigs left and right to entice the man.
Kade was going through a rollercoaster ride. His body wanted to expel all the content it contained after watching those two seduce each other.
But his mind remained firm. If someone looked at him from the outside, they would never know the inner turmoil he was going through.
Kade journeyed through the shop, looking at the items within the shop.
Everything looked weird, fully simulating the known stereotype. Jars filled with eyes of different creatures.
Various liquids and books were layered in the corner, going through each title, he remained in the same spot.
All he could do was stand there and look around because no instructions were given.
Which was awful as something was hidden due to the shit angle.
A cling ahead drawing everyone's attention to the drunkard who entered the place.
"Sneaking out to drink, oh how common of you", he chuckled at his friend's action
"Why did I waste my time coming here? I should've looked for you at a bar instead"
A low groan exited the man as he tried to find his balance.
