Warlock of War: My Ares System

"Shit!" He cried out, but it was too late. My throne world had already devoured his from behind and grazed him ever so gently. 

Even though it was a small touch, he still fell for the properties of my all-powerful skill. In an instant, the dark elf's world shattered into chaos. His senses, those precious instruments that had always guided him through treacherous battles, were abruptly and mercilessly ripped from him. Sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, all vanished simultaneously, leaving him in a horrifying void of sensory deprivation.

It was as if he had been cast into an endless abyss, where time and space lost all meaning. Panic coursed through his veins, his heart racing in the inky blackness that now enveloped him. His thin cloth armor felt like a prison, and he clawed at it desperately, trying to find something, anything, to hold onto.

But there was nothing. No point of reference, no sense of direction, no reality to grasp. His mind, which had always been sharp and cunning, now teetered on the precipice of madness. It was as though his very identity was unraveling in the absence of sensory input.

The dark elf's screams of terror and despair echoed fruitlessly in the void, unheard by any living being. His thoughts spiraled into a maelstrom of confusion and dread, and he desperately clung to the vestiges of his sanity. But my throne world was relentless, an unyielding abyss that seemed determined to consume him whole.

In an unimaginable instant, all my senses were ripped away from me. Sight, sound, touch, taste, smell—they vanished, leaving me in a horrifying abyss of sensory deprivation. Panic surged through my veins, and my heart raced in the inky blackness that enveloped me. My obsidian armor, once a symbol of power, now felt like a suffocating prison. I clawed at it desperately, searching for any anchor in this unending void.

But there was nothing to grasp, nothing to hold onto. I was adrift in an endless, formless abyss where time and space lost all meaning. My very identity unraveled in the absence of sensory input, and my once-sharp mind teetered on the brink of madness.

I screamed in terror and despair, my cries echoing in the void, unheard by any living being. My thoughts spun in a chaotic whirlwind, and I clung desperately to the remnants of my sanity. But the void was relentless, a relentless devourer of my senses and my very self.

As my mind descended into madness, I became a fractured and shattered soul, lost forever in the endless emptiness. I was no longer the master of the dark arts, but a pitiful victim of a cruel and unforgiving fate. The echoes of my despair faded into nothingness, and I became one with the spectral power that had stripped me of everything I once was.

From my own perspective, it was a descent into a nightmare from which there was no escape—a once-mighty dark elf reduced to a broken, tormented spirit, a victim of the cavern's malevolent secret. The cavern, now devoid of my presence, resumed its eerie stillness, guarding its terrible power in the heart of darkness.

Days, weeks, months, and years seemed to pass--the complete nothingness eating away at my sanity. And then, all of a sudden, I landed with a jolt, my body slamming onto a cold, stone floor. My perception shifted, and I found myself in a chamber carved from unfeeling stone. The darkness persisted, but it was different now—a tangible, oppressive presence that seemed to hold me in its sinister grasp.

I tried to move, to rise from the unforgiving ground, but I couldn't. My limbs felt heavy as if bound by invisible chains. Panic surged within me, and I struggled against the invisible restraints, but it was futile.

Then, as if emerging from the shadows themselves, I saw them—two malevolent, shimmering metal cuffs encircling my ankles, sapping away at my innate power. The cuffs pulsed with an eerie, sickly light, draining me of my very essence. My dark elf magic, my source of power and pride, was being drawn into these accursed restraints.

Desperation clawed at my mind as I realized the full extent of my predicament. I had been stripped of my senses and now found myself imprisoned in this nightmarish chamber, my own power slowly seeping away. And as my senses returned to me, it was torturous. I could hear, feel, see, taste, and smell everything and it hurt. For some reason, it hurt. It felt like white-hot pokers were being shoved into my body. 

As I lay there, chained and powerless, a man emerged from the shadows of the chamber. His figure seemed to materialize like a sinister specter, moving with a malevolent grace. The flickering torchlight cast eerie shadows that danced across the distorted mask, accentuating its nightmarish features. The grotesque mask remained the last vestige of his presence in the room. The malevolent aura lingered, and the memories of his cruel actions haunted the stone chamber long after he had disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind an atmosphere thick with dread and despair.

The grotesque mask was crafted from weathered leather, seemingly melded to his face. It bore a hideous resemblance to his father, with twisted features that suggested an eternal sneer. The eyeholes were hollow voids, devoid of humanity, and the lips were perpetually curled into a sinister grin. The mask's surface was etched with arcane symbols that pulsed with an otherworldly glow, adding to its eerie and unsettling effect.

His clothing was a tattered ensemble of shadowy fabrics. His long, hooded cloak swept ominously around him, and beneath it, he wore a tunic of dark, coarse material. Sinister symbols were embroidered in crimson thread along the edges of his garments, accentuating his aura of darkness.

The gloves that concealed his hands were made of oiled black leather, each fingertip adorned with razor-sharp metal talons. These gloves were a tool of his trade, an instrument of torment, and they gleamed malevolently under the dim light of his chamber.

Behind the mask, his eyes were piercing orbs of obsidian, devoid of empathy or compassion. They seemed to radiate an unnatural darkness, their depths impenetrable, like an abyss from which there was no escape. The intensity of his gaze could freeze even the bravest soul in its tracks.

His presence exuded an aura of pure malevolence. Every movement was precise and deliberate as if choreographed by some dark force. He moved with a predatory grace, like a silent wraith stalking its prey. The air around him seemed to grow colder, the very atmosphere tainted by his malevolent energy.

Along his belt and within pouches hung grisly trophies of his cruel trade—twisted instruments of torment, vials of mysterious substances, and trinkets collected from his countless victims. These morbid adornments served as a chilling testament to the horrors he had inflicted.

Occasionally, a muffled, haunting laughter would emanate from beneath the mask as he reveled in the suffering of his captives. It was a chilling sound, devoid of joy, and it sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

With each deliberate step, he closed the distance between us, his dark, leather-clad form gliding silently across the stone floor. The chains that bound me rattled faintly as I struggled in vain, the sound a stark contrast to the torturer's ominous approach.

The chamber seemed to shrink in the presence of his malevolence, the air thickening with a palpable sense of dread. His every movement exuded a cruel anticipation, as though he relished the power he held over me, a pitiable dark elf at his mercy.

The mask, twisted and grotesque, stared down at me with those hollow, malevolent eyes. Its grotesque grin seemed to widen, a silent promise of the suffering to come. I could feel the weight of his malevolent intent pressing down upon me, as he drew nearer, casting an oppressive darkness that enveloped my very soul.

In a chilling display of dark power, the very fabric of reality seemed to warp and obey his malevolent command. With an eerie whisper, a large machete materialized out of thin air, its blade gleaming wickedly in the dim torchlight. It was a weapon of torment and death, conjured effortlessly by the torturer's twisted mastery over dark forces.

The machete appeared, its presence casting a malevolent aura that seemed to pulse with malice. Its blade glinted with an otherworldly sharpness, a weapon forged not of earthly metal but of the very essence of despair. With an unholy grin hidden beneath his distorted mask, the torturer held the blade aloft, the malevolent energy surrounding it crackling with sinister intent.

It was a chilling reminder that I was utterly at his mercy, bound and defenseless in the face of his sadistic power. The chamber, once a place of darkness and dread, now felt like the very heart of a nightmare, and I could only brace myself for the horrors that were about to unfold.

"So you're the next patient… I'll have fun dissecting you."
