Yurina had no idea how long she had been in this place, to be honest, she had lost count a long time ago when she reincarnated into this new world. At the time of reincarnation, it was such a shock for Yurina she couldn't quite wrap her mind around the whole situation. And right now she was possible in a situation far worse than she before escaping from Hellscape.

Ever since she was captured by that guy Yurina had been held captive in this unknown place. All she knew about where she was that it was far underground and the surrounding architecture was made out of a material that hs e had never seen before. Upon closer inspection shortly after she had been captured she noticed that the surrounding walls and ceilings were acting as living matter at least that's was it appeared to be the case to the naked eye.

Now Yurina sat upon the bed in her quarters mostly feeling tense not knowing what was going to happen to her. For someone that was supposed to be a captive Yurina was surprised to find just how normal her quarters turned out to be if she had to guess Yurina felt more like a privileged guest more than anything.

But since arriving in this new world Yurina knew better than to fall for such things.

She looked and scoped around her room inspecting every single inch she could look at mostly hoping to find a way out of this or something that she could use in order to escape. Every so often she would hear the distant sound of metallic boots marching in sync clattering against the hard stone floor.

Every time she heard that sound a part of her tensed up fearing what would happen if she was caught trying to escape a part of her was trying in earnest to do so, and another part of her feared those very consequences if caught. But she believed her chances were better off if she was as far away as possible from this place.

Yurina fell to the floor coughing so hard that she almost felt like she had torn her throat doing so. Most of her transformation had already been completed her blood-red eyes and engraved body tattoo had now started to let off a reddish hue like the highlights in her raven black hair. 

However, due to her blood still morphing to fit her new body she had started to experience these episodes of what she could only explain as being afflicted with flu-like symptoms.

While Yurina was busy coughing she wasn't aware of someone coming towards her quarters so when she heard the sudden knock on the thick wooden oak door that between her and freedom so to speak. She almost skipped a few heartbeats when shortly after hearing the knock on the door it suddenly swung upon without warning, she scurried back a few inches her back after the bed frame.

Standing in the centre of the doorway was the man that had brought her here in the first place still wearing the same intimidating attire from back then, however, this time he was occupied by what Yurina would describe as not so pleasant company.

The creatures that stood just slightly behinds Drelion were humanoid in shape and wielded swords and shields which Yurina found to have been rare choices for weapons in this world. These creatures appearance closely resembled that of the Forsaken that Yurina had seen in the slave pens of Hellscape. Their black bodies and the streaks of sickly purple colours had left a mark on Yurina's memory having seen some horrific things in her short time in Hellscape.

"Get up" Drelion sounded almost sick to death of dealing with Yurina and the way he just spoke made that very clear. 

Yurina couldn't help but hesitate just the aura that Drelion gave off was enough to make anyone terrified. As for Drelion, he had started getting impatient having to wait for her that with little thought he squeezed his fist tightly then slammed it against the doorframe itself making the walls shake and frame crack cleanly in half.

Without hesitation, Yurina got to her feet albeit shaking she was still wearing her ragged old linen cloth overall that was giving to her when she was made into a slave. At this point, the stench wafting from her body started to make Yurina feel sick and unsurprisingly embarrassed.

Drelion on the other hand turned his nose up at the girl feeling even more disgusted at the thought of his nose being assaulted by such a smell that he couldn't help but cover his face with the sleeve of his arm. He instinctively picked her up by the legs hoisting her over his shoulder, the creatures stood there watching with idle looks on their faces.

Yurina started beating her fists on his back, the latter paying no mind to Yurina's objection as he continued to navigate the corridors of this mysterious place.

"L-Let go!" Yurina screamed without any intention of not backing down she dreaded what was going to happen to her.

It wouldn't be long before Drelion arrived at a door. Yurina noticed that there was a sign on the front of it, but Drelion barged through the door giving no time to read what it said. He threw her upon what felt like hardened wood to Yurina winding her slightly.

With no warning, Drelion grabbed her near-useless linen cloth and with a quick flick of the wrist tore it clean off. Instinctively Yurina fell to the floor on her knees covering her breasts and body with her arms letting out a whelp in the process. She glanced at Drelion who had a look of disgust and anger written across his face, so when he went to grab her Yurina tried her most damn to root her body to the floor.

However, such actions were useless against Drelion as he easily picked her up by the waist. Tears started to well up in Yurina's eyes not knowing what was going to happen to her again she beat her fists against his arm to no avail.

"Get in there!" literally a split second later, he threw Yurina, the latter not knowing what flailed her arms and legs.

When her body contact with something it left a hot stinging sensation across her back and posterior that quite frankly winded her again where she had to wait a few seconds to get her breath back. It was only then that Yurina noticed the tranquil scented smell and the comforting touch of hot water.

She opened her eyes and to Yurina's surprise, she was sitting in the middle of a hot bath looking up to Drelion who still had that same look on his face from moments before throwing her into the hot bath.

"Clean yourself up! Before I turn you into a slab of meat for the monsters!" Drelion without hesitation slapped the door behind him leaving Yurina alone.

Yurina still breathing heavily expecting something terrible to happen to her was somewhat surprised to witness what had just happened that she had to run the events through her mind multiple times to make sure that she wasn't dreaming the whole thing up. Looking around through the thick layer of steam emanated off of the blanket of hot water she could see what looked to be a shallow area she crawled over towards it.

Once there she gently rested her back against the marble tiles of the shallow area of the hot bath. Droplets of hot water ran across her breasts and slim body back into the water. Her blood-red engraved tattoo illuminated in the hot water magnificently like a work of art within a national gallery.

Her mind wandered back to her plans of trying to escape from this unsavoury place, but the more she thought on it the less likely it seemed to be considering the fact she partly figured out that Drelion had some twisted form of infatuation towards her. At first, she hadn't realized it but as time went on she started to catch onto it through how he acted.

Yurina thought that she only had one way of getting out of this at the start and that was to get on Drelion's good side, however, she was unsure of how successful that would be. She figured that her best bet, for the time being, was to bide her time and play along with what these people wanted from her which she admittedly knew was just as if not riskier than her former option. But Yurina knew that out there all by herself she wouldn't last that long.

She sighed to herself fighting back the urge to cry, "I-I guess I'll just clean myself up, after all, I haven't had a good bath in god knows how long so I might as well take my chance while I have it"

Thank you for reading this chapter I really appreciate it. However, I wanted to find out something from my readers.

Now I know some of you were generally interested to see the revised version of this story and a few of you were generally excited so I wanted to find out whether you still wanted to see it.

Before anyone gets into a panic this version of the story will still be continued so you don't have to worry there. Obviously, you don't have to vote if you don't want to it's totally optional.

But you go decided straight away I wanted to give a little insight into the revised version if you do decide to vote yes. Firstly, the story is written in a first-person perspective doing away with the third person entirely. Secondly, the story follows an entirely different storyline but is still set in the same world that you're all familiar with. And lastly, it had a grim-dark setting.

So if you're interested in seeing this version please let me know in the polls and if you have any further questions please them in the comments down below!
