I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?!
Chapter 269: Long Nightmare
Leo was smuggled out of the planet.
He was taken to a planet which was filled with the insectoid species, where the large majority looked like proper insects with bodies like that of ants, or centipedes.
There were a smaller but significant number of citizens that had managed to evolve throughout the years, gaining the top half of a human and the bottom half of an insect.
As for the number of insectoids that had completed the evolution and taken a complete human, there were only a handful
Those who were able to reach the end of evolution and become a complete human were considered the royal of the world.
They were the true powerhouses, which were responsible for leading armies of their planet and conquer other planets in their space sector
Throughout the centuries, the planet of insects had already conquered many planets, becoming known as the Empire that craved war.
As their numbers were large, they were the enemies that even the more powerful species didn’t want to mess with, unless necessary.
It was also because of that, the Insect Empire gained even more prominence.
Of course, that was only within their own space sector. If they were to compare with middle tier planets in our space sectors, they could only be called an upper rank middle empire, and not the strongest.
As for the High Planets, even the Insect Empire didn’t dare to disturb them, lest they lead to their planet’s destruction.
That’s why, the Insect Empire was very careful. Having consumed all other planets for reproduction, they needed to bring more people and find new blood to help their ladies give birth and get them closer to evolution.
Thus, every year, they kidnapped tens of millions of people from various species on other powerful planets.
Although the number was far from enough, it helped them stay under the radar for so long. And now, they had kidnapped Leo.
Leo was brought to the Insect Empire which was millions of lightyears away.
He didn’t know how long the journey took, but when he opened his eyes, he was frightened out of his wits.
He saw a giant spider... No, it couldn’t even be called a spider.
The creature had the body of a spider but a face and top half of a beautiful blonde woman.
He also noticed that he was lying on a bed, and his hands were tied to either side of the bed.
He wasn’t even wearing clothes, his body lying completely bare as the ugly creature looked at him, licking her tongue.
"Be grateful, human! You have been granted the privilege of getting me, a royal descendant, pregnant!"
The creature proudly said as it moved towards Leo.
"Nooo!" Leo screamed in horror.
He hadn’t felt this scared and disgusted even when he was on the verge of death at multiple points in his life.
This was like a nightmare at play. What made him frightened was that he couldn’t even be completely sure if it was truly a simulation or reality.
He tried to access his storage ring, only to find out that his fingers were also completely bare. These people hadn’t simply taken his clothes but also his storage ring and ring of protection.
His eyes were filled with disbelief. If he couldn’t access his storage ring, then wasn’t he at the mercy of the other side.
"Wait! Don’t do it! I am not worth it! I haven’t even showered in two months! If you need a husband, I can help you find better people! I have contacts at high places!"
"Heh, when I have a delicacy before me, why would I wait for you to find me someone else?"
"No, please don’t! I can give you money! As much as you want, I can give you! Right, it’s in my storage ring! If you can get me my storage ring, I can give you treasures that you can’t find anywhere else in the universe!"
He tried to lure the creature into returning his storage ring so that he could free himself.
Unfortunately, the creature didn’t seem to care.
Three years later...
The creature that had managed to complete her evolution, stood before Leo in a complete human form.
Next to her was a little creature which held half human and half insect body.
What was fascinating was that the facial features of the little one were similar to Leo.
Unfortunately, Leo didn’t have the mind to appreciate it. His eyes were filled with disgust.
"Now my dear daughter, go and become one with your father!"
The blonde woman who had completed her evolution, patted her newborn daughter’s shoulder.
The little daughter moved closer to Leo, who had already learned that this was probably his end.
It was the phase where the creatures ate their father, to improve their bloodline.
The pain felt extremely real. Fortunately, it didn’t last long. After three years, the torment of Leo was about to end.
However, even then, his eyes held defiance and disgust.
He glared at the blonde woman.
"If this is really a simulation, then you should really regret ever touching me. Because when I return next time..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his daughter consumed him completely. But even at the last moment, Leo was really praying that this was just a simulation.
He really wanted to open his eyes again instead of just disappearing.
Fortunately, destiny wasn’t too cruel to him. He opened his eyes once more, realizing that the three years that he had lived as a prisoner were truly part of simulation.
Still, it felt so real that he was covered in sweat as he returned to his senses.
Just then, an announcement resounded in his ears.
[You have completed two simulations. Complete one more to complete skill evolution criteria.]
Normally, Leo would’ve been happy at the notification, but this time, his expressions were solemn.
He noticed that he was still in the cab which had kidnapped him.
Fortunately, they had just been taken into the air, which meant he was still far from being knocked unconscious.
As for the notification, he left it for later. For now, he had to do some pest control.
