Hiroki and Venom

Chapter 1 : A betrayal and a helping hand

A betrayal and a helping hand

Hiroki couldn't believe it... His hands trembled as he stared in disbelief through the narrow crack of the door. What he saw felt like something out of a nightmare, something insane and horrifying. His mother, Kaede, his sister, Kanako, his supposed best friend, Ayumu, and his girlfriend, Nao, were engaging in sexual acts with Kokujin, the man he despised most in the world.

His heart clenched with unbearable pain as his legs seemed ready to give out under his weight. Tears already welled up in his eyes, hot and uncontrollable. How could they do this? Why? These questions spun endlessly in his mind, tearing him apart from the inside. He had given everything to protect these important women in his life, sacrificed so much to shield them from Kokujin's grasp... and this was how they repaid him.

As he continued to stare at the unthinkable scene, Kokujin turned his head and locked eyes with him. A cruel, self-satisfied smile spread across his lips, as though he savored every ounce of Hiroki's agony. It was the final straw.

Breathing heavily, Hiroki staggered back, unable to endure the vision any longer. He spun around and ran for the exit. His breath came in ragged gasps, his mind a whirlwind of rage, pain, and betrayal. He slammed the door open and bolted into the night, away from that cursed house, away from those faces that would forever haunt him.

A piercing thought tore through his mind, cutting even deeper: His mother... how could she do this ? She, who had always stood proudly before the photo of her late husband, Hiroki's father as a tribute to his memory... And now she was desecrating that legacy, insulting her dead husband while giving herself to that despicable man. It was inhuman.

Hiroki ran blindly, tears blurring his vision. His body seemed to act on instinct, guiding him through the darkness of the forest behind the house. The trees loomed around him like silent specters, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to escape, to flee this reality that was tearing him apart.

Eventually, he stopped, panting, and collapsed at the base of a towering tree. Leaning his back against its rough trunk, he buried his face in his hands. Uncontrollable sobs wracked his body, as though his pain knew no bounds. He had lost everything. His family. His best friend. His love. Even his dignity.

The betrayal consumed him from within, and despite the oppressive silence of the forest, his thoughts screamed in unison: Why ? Why did they do this to me ?

Hiroki suddenly stood, his gaze filled with fury and despair. Without thinking, he slammed his fist against the tree with all his strength. The impact echoed through the silent forest, leaving a small crater in the thick bark. Pain surged through his hand, and he gritted his teeth, staring at his bloodied knuckles. But it wasn't enough to relieve the torrent of emotions overwhelming him. With renewed anger, he took off running again, ignoring the throbbing pain in his injured hand.

His body seemed fueled solely by adrenaline. His legs moved at a speed he'd never thought possible, each stride driven by blind rage. He ran without direction, without looking where he was going, the trees blurring past him like shadowy phantoms. But suddenly, the ground beneath his feet disappeared.

A sensation of emptiness engulfed him as he plummeted into the void. His eyes widened in terror as he realized he was falling. The hole stretched over ten meters deep, a natural trap concealed in the darkness.

The landing was brutal. The impact with the ground tore a piercing scream from Hiroki.

"AAARRRGH !!" he cried, his voice echoing within the chasm.

The pain was excruciating. His legs, twisted at grotesque angles, bore the horror of the fall. Bones jutted through his skin, and every movement sent waves of agony through his body.
